At Zhou Si’s sudden move, Si Tian drew in a sharp breath.
Her heart felt ready to leap right out of her chest.
Luckily, she reacted quickly. The moment Zhou Si pressed against her, she hung up the phone.
Even so, just before the call ended, a faint, muffled moan slipped out.
Shen Yifan stared at the abruptly disconnected call, stunned.
Worse, that faint, unmistakably familiar, sweet and breathy sound from just before she hung up kept echoing in his ears.
That moan…
It sounded very much like the one he’d heard at the hotel.
Shen Yifan knew Si Tian would never betray him.
But his grip on the phone tightened involuntarily. Acting before he could think, he immediately called Si Tian back.
“Ring, ring—”
The phone rang again, but Zhou Si acted as if he couldn’t hear it, his chest pressed tightly against the woman’s back.
His scorching palm settled on her slender waist…
Si Tian was going numb.
Shen Yifan was still calling her!
How could this man have so little sense of timing?
And now he was making a move on her.
The phone kept ringing, and Si Tian didn’t dare answer it.
She grabbed the large hand at her waist as it began to slide upward and said, “I have to go back.”
But the man seemed not to hear her. Instead, he caught her small hand in his.
Then, with a sudden roll, he pinned her beneath him on the bed and looked down at her.
“You can go, but first, satisfy me.”
Si Tian: “???”
Speechless, Si Tian glanced to the side at the phone still ringing in her hand.
She looked up at him. “Do you really think I can stay?”
Zhou Si gave her a wicked smile. “Why can’t you?”
As he spoke, he snatched the phone from Si Tian’s hand and held down the power button with his long, sharply defined fingers.
In an instant, the insistent ringing stopped.
The room fell utterly silent.
Si Tian was stunned.
When she came to her senses and was about to say something, the man’s lips sealed hers again…
…
Shen Yifan stood there with his phone in hand, feeling as though everything had gone wrong.
The call had gone through just moments ago, but now he couldn’t get through no matter how many times he tried.
He called over and over, but all he heard was the cold message telling him the phone was switched off.
This was the first time Si Tian had dared to hang up on him.
And the first time she had turned off her phone to reject his calls.
It felt as if a lump of soaked cotton were blocking his chest, heavy and suffocating, making it hard to breathe.
Shen Yifan wanted to find Si Tian, but had no idea where to start.
In the past, Si Tian had always revolved around him. He hadn’t paid much attention to her, so he knew nothing about her friends.
“Fuck!”
Shen Yifan cursed under his breath and hurled his phone onto the bed.
Go ahead. Keep your phone off for the rest of your life!
The next day, Si Tian woke with a weight on her chest.
It felt as if a boulder were pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
She opened her eyes. A strong arm lay across her, and her back was pressed tightly against a scorching chest.
The man had her wrapped in his arms from behind, holding her in a forceful embrace…
Si Tian blinked. It took her a while to realize—
Just how reckless she’d been the night before.
Most outrageous of all, after Zhou Si turned off her phone, it wasn’t long before he wore her out until she passed out…
After spending the night with him, Si Tian knew that Zhou Si was a man who always meant what he said.
Until he was satisfied, she wasn’t going anywhere.
Had she gotten herself involved with someone she shouldn’t have?
The best thing to do now was take advantage of the man being asleep and slip away!
Having made up her mind, Si Tian did just that.
She carefully slipped out of Zhou Si’s arms and picked up her clothes from the floor, pulling them on.
But she couldn’t find her flimsy little panties, no matter how long she searched.
Who knew where the man had thrown them last night…
Si Tian’s gaze finally fell on the bed.
They were probably under the covers.
Si Tian glanced at the man’s sleeping, austere face, then reached her pale hand slowly beneath the covers.
But she had barely felt around twice when the man on the bed rolled over.
He nearly pinned her hand beneath him.
Si Tian’s heart jumped, and she quickly pulled her hand back.
The man’s brows furrowed slightly, as though he might wake at any moment.
Seeing that, Si Tian couldn’t afford to worry about whether she was fully dressed.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed her bag, slipped out of the hotel, and hurried to the new house.
To her surprise, Shen Yifan was sitting on the sofa. He had waited for her all night.
As soon as she opened the door, Shen Yifan stared at her grimly.
“Who were you with last night?!”
