She didn't know why she ran away. She hadn't done anything wrong, but her body acted faster than her brain. Under Pei Yanzhou's gaze, she almost reflexively turned around and tried to leave, closing the door behind her!

However, while she moved quickly, Pei Yanzhou moved even faster!

The instant her fingers touched the doorframe, a chilling shadow loomed over her. She didn't even see how he moved; she only felt her wrist gripped by an irresistible force, and her entire body was violently pulled backward!

"Bang!"

The door closed...

Shu Hua was pressed against the door by the man.

"Why are you running?" Pei Yanzhou lowered his head, his hot breath brushing against her ear, his voice low and terrifying. "Are you so scared to see me come back?"

Shu Hua stared wide-eyed in alarm, her heart pounding, and shook her head violently.

Pei Yanzhou pressed his body close to hers, trapping her in the small space between himself and the door. His gaze swept over her face, her eyes, and finally settled on her neckline and her little dress.

"Where did you go last night?" he asked calmly. "You're only coming back so late."

Shu Hua swallowed hard, avoiding his gaze, and looked away, saying, "No... I didn't go anywhere. I just had dinner with Yu Chu... and we chatted until a little late."

She tried to change the subject: "Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you might not be coming back?"

Pei Yanzhou glanced down at his watch, then raised his eyelids, his gaze locking onto her again, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Good morning?"

He moved an inch closer. Shu Hua could clearly feel the heat from his chest and the oppressive pounding of his heart.

"Mrs. Pei," he said, his voice cold and deliberate, "it is now 11:38 p.m.

His gaze swept over her again, his brows furrowing sharply: "You went drinking?"

Shu Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it: "No, no! It's just that I ate... I might have smelled a little alcohol on my breath..."

Chi Xiaochu was lying on top of her, so it was no wonder she smelled of alcohol.

"Shu Hua," Pei Yanzhou interrupted her, his voice suddenly turning cold, "Don't even think about lying to me."

He knew her too well. When she lied, her eyes would dart around, and her voice would soften unnaturally, trying to deceive him.

Shu Hua knew she couldn't hide it any longer. She bit her lower lip, and, avoiding the main point, with a hint of grievance and ingratiation, softly admitted, "I...I did go to a bar. But I didn't drink! Really!"

"A bar?" Pei Yanzhou raised an eyebrow. "Very good."

Seeing his increasingly grim expression, Shu Hua realized he was truly frightened. She quickly reached out and took his hand, which was hanging by his side.

"I haven't done anything to betray you! I swear!"

She tilted her head up and explained urgently, her eyes a little red, "It's Yu Chu! She broke up with her boyfriend, got tricked by a jerk into going out drinking alone, and got completely drunk! She called me, crying so hard, I was afraid something might happen to her, so I rushed over to pick her up! I just went to bring her home safely! Really, I'm not lying to you!"

She didn't dare mention the ten male models in the private room. Absolutely not! To mention it would be suicide!

Pei Yanzhou let her hold his hand, neither pulling away nor responding. He simply looked down at her for a long while.

"I'm sure," he said slowly, his voice devoid of emotion. "Nothing's been overlooked? Nothing... that hasn't been explained?"

Shu Hua's heart pounded. She shook her head vigorously, trying to appear sincere and innocent: "No! Really, no! I picked her up and took her straight home, then I came back!"

Absolutely not! I mustn't tell! I absolutely mustn't tell! She mentally encouraged herself.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her, who was clearly feeling guilty but was still trying to put on a brave face and whose eyes were darting around, and suddenly laughed in exasperation.

The laughter sent chills down Shu Hua's spine.

He raised his other hand, his fingertips burning hot, and pinched her soft cheek.

"You little liar..." he leaned closer, his voice dangerously magnetic, "You're being very naughty."

Shu Hua was stunned. Before she could fully understand the meaning of his words, his kiss, filled with punishment and anger, landed hard on her face!

"Ugh—!"

The kiss was anything but gentle; it was downright rough.

He pried open her teeth, plunged in, and seized her tongue, which had nowhere to escape, sucking and entwining it forcefully. Shu Hua's tongue went numb and ached from his kisses; her breath was completely taken away, and her brain felt dizzy from lack of oxygen.

She instinctively struggled, pushing against his chest with both hands, but couldn't budge him an inch.

Pei Yanzhou did it on purpose. He had excellent lung capacity and kept kissing her until she was almost out of breath and her body went limp, forcing her to bite him.

Shu Hua was so dizzy from his kisses that she felt her teeth hit something soft and tasted a very faint rusty flavor.

Pei Yanzhou paused, then released her.

Shu Hua's legs were so weak that he could barely stand. He was supported by his arm bracing against the door, panting heavily. His lips were swollen and red, and his eyes were filled with tears. He looked disheveled and pitiful.

Pei Yanzhou licked the bleeding wound from the bite, his eyes growing even darker and deeper.

"Bite me?" he asked in a low voice, his voice hoarse beyond belief.

The next second, he hooked her chin with one hand, forcing her to look up at him. His other hand wrapped around her slender waist, gently caressing her through the thin fabric.

"It seems the punishment wasn't enough."

His burning kiss landed again, but not on her lips. Instead, it traveled down her slender neck, down her delicate collarbone, and finally rested on her chest, which rose and fell slightly with her rapid breathing.

Today, the square neckline of this dress becomes the most convenient entrance.

He lowered his head and sucked deeply on that soft spot.

"Ah..." Shu Hua couldn't help but let out a short gasp, her whole body trembling as if she had been electrocuted, a tingling sensation shooting from her spine straight to the top of her head.

His teeth ground together gently, his tongue moistening her chest. Shu Hua's body went limp uncontrollably; if he hadn't been holding her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"Pei Yanzhou...please..." she pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.

Pei Yanzhou temporarily left that spot, his burning lips and tongue returning to her sensitive neck, taking her small earlobe into his mouth and gently biting it with the tip of his teeth.

"Ugh..." Shu Hua let out another soft moan, her shoulders hunching.

"Still won't tell the truth, baby?" His lips brushed against her earlobe, his hot breath washing over her. His low, husky "baby" trailed off with a slight upward inflection, both sweet and seductive, carrying a hint of coercion. "Hmm?"

Shu Hua was so overwhelmed by his kisses that her mind went completely blank, and she could barely think straight: "W-what truth..."

"You even ordered male models?" Pei Yanzhou stopped beating around the bush, his voice turning cold. "Ten of them?"

Shu Hua's heart sank!

How did he know?!

She instinctively denied it: "No! I didn't order it! I didn't even look at them! I didn't look at them carefully at all! Really!"

"No?" Pei Yanzhou clearly didn't believe her, and punished her by sucking hard on the other side of her chest, leaving a clear mark.

Shu Hua hissed in pain, and tears finally streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Male models are good," he whispered in her ear, his voice low and husky, laced with malice and jealousy, as he continued to leave marks on her body, "but husbands are better, aren't they?"

Shu Hua felt that this man was really unruly and perverted. She couldn't speak a complete sentence, only soft sobs.

Pei Yanzhou chuckled softly.

"Not going to talk?" His hands began to wander, sliding down her waist, lifting her skirt, and slipping inside to caress her smooth, delicate thighs. "Shall we try somewhere else? This... seems like we haven't tried this before?"
