Xue Zhiqiao was nursing a headache when he heard Xin Jia'er groan uncomfortably. She then pushed aside the covers and struggled to get up.
His heart leaped, his breathing ceasing, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.
Xin Jia'er rubbed her eyes and realized she was naked. The next moment, she let out a scream—
"Ah!"
Thump!
Xue Zhiqiao was kicked off the bed. He quickly grabbed a corner of the blanket to cover himself.
"Don't scream, don't scream..." he yelled in a panic, his mind a chaotic mess, feeling breathless and flustered.
"Why are you here, what did you do to me!" Xin Jia'er asked with a crying voice, her eyes red.
She clearly felt something was wrong with her body.
It hurt.
Her first time was gone.
Xin Jia'er had been strictly disciplined since childhood. Even though she loved Xu Lang so humbly, she had never crossed this line. But now...
Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out. She couldn't help but cry, "Why would you do this, you beast—"
She frantically grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him!
To kill this man who took advantage of her, to kill this hypocritical man!
"Don't get worked up, last night wasn't, I..." Xue Zhiqiao felt dizzy from the impact, wanting to explain that he wasn't that kind of person, but in this situation, no matter how he explained, it would sound wrong.
"You bastard! Bastard!" Xin Jia'er's voice became hoarse, her sobs and crying uncontrollable. Her small body trembled slightly as she hugged herself tightly.
Xue Zhiqiao let her curse him, remaining silent.
It was true that he had lost control last night. He hadn't intended to do anything, and besides, Xin Jia'er wasn't his type.
But things had happened the way they did.
He was annoyed with himself, filled with deep guilt, suffocating regret, and confusion.
Although a man's first time wasn't as significant as a woman's.
He still cared about it.
He felt like crying too, his heart inexplicably messy, troubled, anxious, and filled with a strange fear.
Xin Jia'er pointed at him and cursed until her voice was hoarse.
"Bastard..."
She cried until she couldn't breathe, but her mind gradually cleared.
She raised her finger and pointed at the man on the floor, whose expression was unclear as he bowed his head. "Get out! I don't want to see you! I don't want anyone to know about this, get out!"
Xue Zhiqiao felt somewhat unbearable from the scolding. He raised his deep eyes to look at her. "You were the one who made the first move last night. You were drugged, and if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else!"
"So do you think you're any different from anyone else?" Xin Jia'er's eyes were red, glaring at him hatefully, asking word by word.
"I, I will take responsibility for you," Xue Zhiqiao said, mustering his courage.
"Pah!"
Xin Jia'er hated him to the core, finding him repulsive. "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
Xue Zhiqiao also got angry and threw off the blanket, standing up!
Xin Jia'er was shocked to see his nakedness and immediately turned her face away, yelling angrily, "Aren't you ashamed! Didn't you hear me say get out! Get out!"
Xue Zhiqiao didn't say anything, walking directly to the balcony to get dressed.
Soon, he was fully dressed. Seeing that Xin Jia'er still refused to turn her face to look at him, he picked up his phone and stood by the bed.
"Xin Jia'er." He called out.
Xin Jia'er ignored him. Her mind was a mess. She seemed to have some memories of last night; it was indeed her who had thrown herself at him.
However, Xue Zhiqiao should have pushed her away.
Taking advantage of her in such an unclear manner and then claiming it was her fault made her angry and deeply hurt.
"Then I'll leave. I said, as long as you're willing, I'm willing to take responsibility."
After speaking, Xue Zhiqiao turned and left.
The door slammed shut. Xin Jia'er could no longer hold back, burying her face in the quilt and weeping bitterly, crying for her misfortune. Her tears soon soaked the blanket.
She had just broken up with her boyfriend, with whom she planned to get married, and then inexplicably lost her first time.
She really didn't know how to face the days ahead.
...
Su Ding couldn't get through on the phone, so she had to give up.
Time ticked by, and her mind was in turmoil. The meeting time that Shao Lin had mentioned was getting closer and closer; what should she do?
Soon, it was evening.
Jin Ye called in the afternoon, saying he had a social engagement that evening and would be home late. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have known what excuse to use to go out.
Su Ding walked out of the villa, put on her mask and sunglasses. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, she saw a black car parked at the entrance.
Soon, someone got out and walked towards her.
"Are you Miss Su Ding?" the man asked.
"Who are you?" Su Ding stared at the man warily.
"I'm sent by Mr. Wang to pick you up. Please get in the car." The man made a gesture.
Su Ding didn't move. After a few seconds of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and got into the car.
Half an hour later, the car stopped.
She was led upstairs, and the door was pushed open, revealing a room filled with a faint haze of smoke.
A man with short black hair, wearing a suit, was seated with his back to her, his posture straight, by a low table, brewing tea.
"You're here," the man's voice was deep.
"Are you Mr. Wang?" Su Ding slowly walked over and sat down at the low table.
The man was around thirty years old, with regular features and a steady demeanor, quite different from what Su Ding had imagined.
"Sit down, my name is Wang Yan, hello." Wang Yan handed her a cup of tea.
"Thank you, what do you want to see me about?" Su Ding didn't take the tea, asking coldly.
"I'm here to talk to you about Xiao Rui. What happened five years ago, I'm sure you still remember. I only recently found out that you gave birth to a daughter for me..."
"Excuse me, let me interrupt. That's my daughter." Su Ding was a little angry, her voice rising.
"But my blood flows through her."
Wang Yan had expected Su Ding's tough attitude. He calmly pushed the paternity test report he had in hand towards Su Ding. "I am the father in the physiological sense."
Su Ding saw the words on the report, her fingers trembling. Suppressing her anger, she said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want."
"Don't get angry, I have no ill intentions. I just want to acknowledge my daughter, that's all."
"Wang Yan, do you take me for a fool?"
Su Ding laughed bitterly in anger and sneered, "We don't even know each other, and you have no feelings for my daughter. If you want a child, there are plenty of women who will help you have one! Why bother pestering me!"
Wang Yan looked at her calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Su Ding, I know you are married to Jin Ye of Huang Qi Group, and your status is not what it used to be. But the fact that you sold yourself is something you can't hide. And the fact that you had a daughter with me is also an undeniable truth..."
"Enough!"
Su Ding stood up abruptly. "Stop beating around the bush and state your purpose directly."
Wang Yan said, "I want you to bring our daughter to see me."
"Impossible!" Su Ding turned to leave, but a dark shadow from behind her lunged forward, grabbing her shoulders and forcing her to turn around!
Wang Yan looked down at her angry face, a smile tugging at his lips. "Or... I want to sleep with you again."
Su Ding raised her hand to slap him, but her wrist was caught mid-air!
