After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, the fake heiress binds herself to a rough-looking man

"I'm a fake heiress who's usurped someone else's place. Her real sister just recently returned to the family. That young master Jiang is treating me like a thief now."

She pouted, looking like she'd given up entirely.

"He's a controlling person, and he's afraid that I, a fake, will hang out with some shady men and bring shame to the Jiang family."

Huo Li scoffed coldly.

"You came to see me in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid he'll break your legs?"

He threw the cigarette, which he had only taken two puffs of, on the ground and stomped on it heavily with the sole of his shoe.

The spark was crushed to dust.

Jiang Yu has become incredibly audacious.

With her life countdown ticking away in her mind, she had no time to argue with him.

She stepped over his right leg and plopped down on it.

"I'm scared." She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

This post shows that the Ice Skin and Jade Bones buff was well worth the money.

The contrast between her fair skin and her powerful tanned complexion is striking.

Huo Li's muscles tensed up suddenly.

She could clearly feel the bulging muscles in his thighs.

"So, I risked my life to escape, didn't I?"

She leaned closer, her nose brushing against his burning earlobe.

"Huo Li, you texted saying you wouldn't lock the door. Weren't you just waiting for me to come?"

Huo Li did not dodge.

He let her sit on his lap, her hands braced on either side of the bed.

The fingers tightened little by little, and the knuckles made a slight clicking sound.

My breathing became completely disordered.

His heavy, masculine breath sprayed onto her neck.

"Jiang Yu." He called her by her full name, his voice completely hoarse, "Do you even know how to write the word 'death'?"

"I don't know." Jiang Yu smiled like a little fox.

She tilted her head back, her eyelashes fluttering, her lips almost touching the corner of his.

"Can you teach me?"

Huo Li could no longer hold back.

He raised his hand, his rough palm gripping her slender nape, forcefully pressing her against him.

The sudden kiss caught everyone off guard, like a storm.

There was no probing, no roundabout approach.

I bumped my tooth.

A very faint metallic taste lingered in their mouths.

Huo Li supported the back of her head, his five fingers digging deep into her long, coiled hair.

The hair tie used to secure it broke instantly.

Her long, seaweed-like hair cascaded down, covering the bed.

The fragrance of her "ice-like skin and jade-like bones" exploded completely in the small room.

It was intense and domineering, making even the air thick and scalding.

Huo Li tilted his head, opened his mouth and bit her slender neck, following the side of her neck down.

The stubble prickled against my delicate skin, causing both itchiness and numbness.

Jiang Yu was dizzy from the kisses and gripped his broad shoulders tightly with both hands.

My heart was pounding, and I had only one thought in my mind: hurry up, my lifespan is almost gone, I have to close this big deal today.

However, the man on top of her stopped at the most critical moment.

Huo Li forcefully propped himself up, his arm veins bulging.

He stared down at her.

His dark eyes burned with barely suppressed rage, his jaw clenched tightly, and his breathing was rough and disordered.

"Jiang Yu".

His voice was hoarse and deep.

"Think it through. I'm a rough man, and this shabby house doesn't even have air conditioning."

If you nod now, I'll really do it to you.

Even if the Jiang family holds a knife to my throat, you won't be able to get away with it.

This was his final warning.

A poor boy and a rich girl, crossing social classes.

He won't give her a way back.

Jiang Yu was extremely anxious.

Brother, I've almost forgotten about this person, why should I care about the Jiang or Wang families?

If I keep dawdling like this, this day next year will be the anniversary of my death!

"You talk too much nonsense," she muttered disdainfully.

Instead of backing down, she hooked her legs around his narrow waist.

Her fair fingers lifted the hem of his T-shirt and pressed against his hot, firm abs without any hesitation.

The fingertips traced down the muscle lines.

"Huo Li, have you gone mad from fixing cars?"

She tilted her head back, her eyes reddening, her voice soft enough to melt hearts, yet carrying a deadly provocation.

"You're usually pretty good at tightening screws, why are you acting like a chicken today?"

The string of reason in Huo Li's mind snapped completely.

"You asked for it."

Upside down.

He wrapped one arm around her waist and flipped her over, pinning her down.

The poor-quality single spring mattress made a creaking sound as it struggled to bear the weight.

"Creak—"

The man's body was heavy and sturdy.

There was no foreplay, no complicated procedures.

The black tank top was already thin, and when he yanked it with his large, calloused hand, the shoulder strap snapped cleanly.

The fabric was piled up at the waist.

The full effects of "Ice Skin and Jade Bones" are activated.

The skin that Huo Li's rough palm touched was so smooth it was almost maddening.

The contrast was so stark; the rough yet soft texture brought a man's instincts to their absolute limit.

The main lights were not on inside.

The dim, old table lamp cast two overlapping shadows on the wall.

The sound insulation in this old, dilapidated apartment is appallingly poor.

This room, in particular, is separated from Lin Wen and Xu Ya's bedroom by only one wall.

The single bed was shaking more and more violently.

The wooden bed frame slammed against the mottled wall.

Clang—Clang—

Accompanied by the rhythmic, sharp friction sound of the rusty spring.

Squeak, squeak.

The noise was deafening.

It was more than twice as loud as the noise Lin Wen had made that night.

Jiang Yu bit her lower lip, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

My whole body felt sore and swollen, as if it had been disassembled and reassembled.

This man seems like a quiet, reserved person, but when it really comes down to it, his wild side comes out.

Sweat dripped down his angular jawline, hitting her sunken collarbone and burning her scalding hot.

"Didn't you complain that Lin Wen and the others were too noisy?"

Huo Li, panting heavily, leaned close to her ear.

He ground his teeth against her bright red earlobe, his voice laced with a vengeful malice, "Why aren't you making a sound now?"

Jiang Yu was so overwhelmed that her mind went blank, and she couldn't even piece together a complete sentence.

Her fingernails could only weakly scratch his broad back, leaving a few shallow red marks.

"This lousy bed..." she gasped, "You...you have to change it tomorrow..."

"No need to change it."

Huo Li gripped her waist, tightening his grip, "The neighbors can hear that."

The night outside the window was so dark it seemed impossible to see through.

A stray cat in the urban village meowed twice in the alley.

The temperature inside the room was steadily rising.

Just as the last vestige of clarity in Jiang Yu's mind was about to dissipate, the long-lost electronic voice finally exploded deep within her mind.

[Ding. Deep negative distance contact achieved. Target is physically and mentally captivated. Lifespan +365 days. Current balance: 1 year and 10 days.]

Get rich overnight.

A whole year.

Jiang Yu closed her eyes, and the tension that had been building up for half a month finally relaxed.

Screw that terminal illness, screw that Jiang Yu'an.

I'm lucky to be alive.

With this relaxation, my body went limp and turned into a puddle of spring water.

They completely relinquished control.

After some time, the sound of the fan spinning became clear again.

Everything returned to calm.
