It had to be an illusion, definitely an illusion. Zhou Huaijin hated the original owner to the core, so she must have seen it wrong!
While Lin Tingwan was still lost in her thoughts, Zhou Huaijin leaned down and fiercely kissed her!
It was an awkward, clumsy kiss, rough around the edges yet burning with heat.
Lin Tingwan’s pupils widened.
No, this could not be real!
To think a top tier handsome man would kiss her like this, she was not worthy of it!
Her mind told her to escape, but he had her firmly trapped in his arms, leaving her with nowhere to retreat and no way to escape.
The effects of the drug completely destroyed the last bit of Zhou Huaijin’s reason.
The factory director, who was usually restrained and composed, was now breathing unevenly, his body tense and burning with uncontrollable heat. All he wanted was to relieve his own discomfort.
Inside the dim little room, the sound of wind and rain drifted softly through the air, while their warm breaths intertwined again and again.
“No!”
Lin Tingwan’s refusal carried an almost coy hint of resistance.
“Isn’t this what you wanted?”
The man’s movements were forceful but not rough, as he slowly removed the obstacles between them.
Oh my, whatever happens, happens.
If I am going to die, I might as well die in the arms of a handsome man. Even as a ghost, I will have lived a romantic life!
I might as well enjoy myself first.
After all, she had never experienced a man in her twenty eight years of life, and she really wanted to know what a man was like.
With that thought, Lin Tingwan completely let herself go.
Before long, she felt as though all the strength had been drained from her body.
Sob, this man was far too rough!
The rain grew heavier and heavier, while the wind and rain relentlessly battered the windows.
Inside the room, they remained entangled in an intimate embrace, and eventually the absurd night came to an end.
The rain stopped.
A cool night breeze slipped through the half open window, dispersing the heated atmosphere inside the room. With a look of complete satisfaction on his face, Zhou Huaijin held the beauty in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Tingwan, on the other hand, felt as though her entire body had been run over by a car!
Good grief, why was someone who had been drugged so terrifying?
He was practically like a machine, completely relentless, and she had passed out several times because of him.
She was exhausted and in pain, and felt as though her entire body had been crushed into pieces!
This was Lin Tingwan’s first experience.
She swore that she never wanted a man again!
Enduring the pain, she moved Zhou Huaijin’s hand away from her waist.
The man’s palm was warm and burning hot, and even in deep sleep, it carried a faint sense of restraint. It took her a great deal of effort before she finally managed to free herself.
“Good grief, his technique was terrible. One star review!”
She supported her weakened body and slowly sat up. Every movement brought an indescribable soreness.
She began searching the entire room for her clothes.
“Male lead, are you a wolf or something? Tearing my clothes was bad enough, but you had to throw them so far away too. Damn you!”
After finally finding all her clothes and putting them on, Lin Tingwan tiptoed to the door and fled outside in a miserable state.
The cool night breeze hit her face, dispersing the heat that covered her body.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, so no one noticed her.
Wait, wasn’t the female lead supposed to have appeared already?
The moment she turned the corner, she ran straight into Qiao Shuran, who was hurrying over.
The factory doctor, Doctor Wang, was following beside her. The two of them were moving hurriedly, clearly having come here for a specific reason.
Lin Tingwan immediately turned around and raised her hand to cover her face.
She can’t see me, she can’t see me!
When Qiao Shuran saw Lin Tingwan, she froze for a moment, and then her expression instantly darkened.
According to the plot from her previous life, Lin Tingwan should have been thrown out of the door by Zhou Huaijin at this moment. She should have been sitting in the rain like a shrew, accusing Zhou Huaijin of sleeping with her and demanding that he take responsibility. Then everyone in the family compound would have gotten up and cursed her for being shameless.
As for Qiao Shuran, she would have brought the factory doctor to save the weakened Zhou Huaijin, taking the opportunity to gain his favor and successfully marry him.
But what exactly was going on now?
Could the plot have deviated?
Qiao Shuran was completely flustered. She quickly grabbed the panting man behind her and said, “Doctor Wang, please hurry. I am afraid Director Zhou cannot wait any longer!”
Doctor Wang could only quicken his steps to keep up with Qiao Shuran.
Lin Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the female lead had not noticed her. No matter what happened, she would never admit to any of this!
No, she needed to return to the dormitory, pack her things, sell her job, and stay far away from the male and female leads. That was the wisest choice.
In any case, she did not want to die!
Lin Tingwan hurried away, and soon disappeared at the end of the narrow path.
When Qiao Shuran and the factory doctor arrived at Zhou Huaijin’s dormitory, Zhou Huaijin was lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully with a flushed face.
Seeing that his handsome face was covered in scratches and looked almost unrecognizable, Doctor Wang froze.
He quickly checked Zhou Huaijin’s pulse and carefully examined his complexion.
“Comrade Qiao, the director’s pulse is normal. It should be caused by excessive physical and mental exhaustion from working overtime for several consecutive days. He may also have some kind of allergic reaction.”
In truth, Doctor Wang wanted to say that Zhou Huaijin looked somewhat like a man who had overindulged, but he was too embarrassed to say such a thing in front of a female comrade.
Qiao Shuran noticed that something was wrong the moment she saw Zhou Huaijin.
She had been reborn, and she understood the plot of her previous life better than anyone.
On this very night in her previous life, Lin Tingwan had drugged Zhou Huaijin and plotted against him. Zhou Huaijin had thrown her out, and the two of them had never actually slept together.
But tonight was different.
Lin Tingwan had fled in a miserable state, and Zhou Huaijin’s face was scratched beyond recognition.
Could they have actually slept together?
No!
Qiao Shuran was so jealous that she was almost driven mad.
She had finally been given another chance at life. She had sworn that in this life, she would win all of Zhou Huaijin’s love. Why should that widow Lin Tingwan get there before her?
Suppressing the jealousy raging inside her, she said to Doctor Wang, “Director Zhou seems to be sleeping very deeply. He must have had a difficult night. You should prescribe some mild medicine to calm his nerves and ease his discomfort, so that he will feel better when he wakes up.”
Doctor Wang did not suspect anything. He prescribed several doses of mild calming medicine, gave her a few instructions, and then left with his medical case.
The room became completely silent.
Qiao Shuran lifted Zhou Huaijin’s quilt, and sure enough, she saw that trace of red.
Qiao Shuran was almost driven mad with jealousy!
They really had slept together!
She was furious! She hated it!
The direction of the plot was wrong. It had completely gone off course!
But she absolutely could not admit defeat!
So what if the woman from last night had been Lin Tingwan?
No one had seen it, which meant there were no witnesses.
After being drugged, Zhou Huaijin definitely would not have been fully conscious.
As long as she lay beside Zhou Huaijin and firmly insisted that it had been her, this marriage would still belong to her.
As for Lin Tingwan coming to make a scene, so what? Who would believe her nonsense?
With that thought, Qiao Shuran fiercely scratched her own face, pinched her neck, and then bit and kissed her own arms and thighs hard. Finally, she deliberately undid several buttons and lay down beside Zhou Huaijin.
The next morning.
Zhou Huaijin slowly opened his eyes.
His entire body was sore and swollen with fatigue. Soon, the chaotic and intimate scenes from the previous night came rushing clearly into his mind.
He froze for a moment, then remembered everything.
Last night, Lin Tingwan had drugged him, and the two of them had spent the entire night in a frenzy.
Lin Tingwan!
How dare she!
He angrily turned his head, but the unfamiliar face beside him shocked him so badly that he immediately sat upright.
How could the woman lying beside him be Qiao Shuran?
He clearly remembered that the woman from last night had been Lin Tingwan.
Qiao Shuran happened to wake up at that moment as well. The instant she saw Zhou Huaijin, she immediately became shy and pulled the quilt over her head.
Zhou Huaijin frowned deeply and questioned her coldly.
“Comrade Qiao, why are you here?”
Under the quilt, Qiao Shuran clenched her fists in anger.
He really was still thinking about that widow Lin!
Men were all the same!
What was there to like about a rotten widow like her?
She secretly pinched herself hard, then began sobbing from the pain.
Zhou Huaijin was still naked, so it was inconvenient for him to continue questioning her. He quickly got up and searched for his clothes.
Damn it, where had his underwear gone?
A few minutes later, Zhou Huaijin said to Qiao Shuran, who was still hiding beneath the quilt, “Get up first. I will wait for you in the living room.”
Soon afterward, Qiao Shuran slowly got up. She cruelly pinched her own face until it turned red, then deliberately bit her lip until it bled.
In short, her face looked absolutely miserable, as though she had been thoroughly ravaged by someone.
“Director Zhou, you were not feeling well yesterday, and I really could not stop worrying about you. So I came to see you in the middle of the night.
Who would have thought that you were not in your right mind and held me in your arms…”
Qiao Shuran bit her lower lip and lowered her head, saying nothing more.
