After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

The night view of the Huangpu River streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the shimmering water cast long shadows of the two people.

Jiang Yichen stood still, without moving.

Xu Zhiyou looked up at him, her eyes still red and tear-stained, but she was looking at him intently.

The silence lasted for a full ten seconds.

Jiang Yichen slowly exhaled, reaching out to rub her head, but stopped halfway through.

He withdrew his hand and put both hands into his pockets.

"Xu Zhiyou," he said, his voice hoarser than he had expected, "It's not that I don't like you."

These words, like a pebble thrown into an icy lake, instantly stirred up countless ripples in Xu Zhiyou's eyes.

"It's just that I might not be as good as you think." He said calmly. "I have something to tell you."

Xu Zhiyou's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

"That time in Beijing... I drank too much and spent the night in a hotel room with Gu Ruanxing."

He paused, then continued.

"I can't describe what happened that morning when I woke up."

"But I feel I need to make this clear to you."

Xu Zhiyou sat on the leather sofa without moving.

The living room was eerily quiet.

Jiang Yichen looked at her expression and sighed inwardly.

He had been prepared for this for a long time.

After hearing this, the girl would probably slap him or throw a tantrum and kick him out.

After all, for a pure-hearted girl who has had a crush on someone for several years, this is simply too cruel.

He put his hands in his pockets, took a half step back, and prepared to face her wrath.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Zhiyou not only didn't cry, but instead wiped away the tears on her face.

She stood up straight from the sofa.

Wearing slippers, she walked a few steps to Jiang Yichen.

Because of the height difference, she could only strain her little face to look at him.

"So, 'not that you don't like me' means you like me, right?"

Xu Zhiyou sniffed and reached out to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Yichen looked completely bewildered.

He stared at the girl with big, blinking eyes in front of him, completely dumbfounded.

This reaction...something's not right.

"Xu Zhiyou, did you hear what I just said?" Jiang Yichen couldn't help but frown to confirm. "You don't mind?"

"Did you hear me clearly?" Xu Zhiyou put his hands on his hips confidently, as if he had asked an unnecessary question. "You like me. That's enough!"

"As for minded..." She tilted her head, then waved her hand dismissively, "So what if you and Xingbao slept together at a hotel in Beijing one night?"

She showed no grief or indignation whatsoever; in fact, her tone carried an air of self-righteousness.

"My dad had several concubines! It's normal for capable men to have three or four wives!"

Jiang Yichen: "?"

He felt his head buzzing.

What is all this about?

How many years has the Qing Dynasty been gone!

What kind of feudal and outdated education did this gangster's daughter receive from a young age?

Xu Zhiyou moved forward a little.

The rich scent of peach perfume mixed with the aroma of red wine wafted directly towards Jiang Yichen's face.

"And you didn't lie to me; you even dared to be honest with me about something like this."

Xu Zhiyou's big eyes sparkled with admiration.

"This proves you're a responsible and good man; my judgment was right after all!"

Jiang Yichen's brain completely shut down.

Having lived two lives, he has witnessed all sorts of great storms and waves.

But Xu Zhiyou's bizarre train of thought today completely stumped him.

Before he could recover from the shock...

Xu Zhiyou's expression suddenly changed.

She puffed out her cheeks angrily, clenched her fists, and stomped her feet on the spot.

"However, there's one thing I mind!"

Xu Zhiyou gritted her teeth.

"Starbaby beat me to it!"

"It's one thing for her to always play support and steal kills in games, but now she even wants to compete with me for first place with the guys!"

"No! I want some too!"

The voice just fell.

While Jiang Yichen was still in a daze, Xu Zhiyou transformed into a little female leopard pouncing on its prey.

She lunged forward suddenly.

With all her might, she crashed directly into Jiang Yichen's arms.

Jiang Yichen was completely unprepared.

She tripped and was pushed hard onto the large, soft leather sofa behind her.

The moment she sank into the sofa cushion, Jiang Yichen instinctively reached out to push her shoulder.

"Stop fooling around! You've had too much to drink!"

Xu Zhiyou wouldn't listen at all.

She straddled his lap with an extremely domineering air.

She lowered her head and kissed Jiang Yichen's lips directly.

The kiss was extremely awkward.

It was completely haphazard, just a random collision of teeth and lips.

It even has a hint of sweetness and tartness from red wine.

But the passion and stubbornness within were revealed without reservation.

Faced with the burning heat in his arms, Jiang Yichen's rational defenses, which he had maintained all night, crumbled instantly.

He's not a saint.

As a normal man, it's amazing to be taken in by a beautiful girl who likes him and has a lovely figure.

If we continue to tolerate this, things will really get out of hand.

A dark glint flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes.

His hands, which were originally blocking Xu Zhiyou's shoulders, slid down and directly grabbed her slender waist.

With a slight pull of his arms, he drew her into his embrace.

Subsequently, they took the initiative.

Xu Zhiyou was still munching away haphazardly when she was suddenly surrounded by an extremely strong sense of aggression.

Her big eyes widened instantly.

My nostrils were filled with the clean, minty scent of the man.

His body instantly went limp and turned into a lump of mud.

All that remained was the instinctive clinging.

Jiang Yichen casually touched the smart control panel on the edge of the coffee table.

pat.

The blinding white light in the living room went out instantly.

The heavy automatic curtains were not closed properly.

Only the bright moonlight filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows and the neon lights reflected on the Huangpu River remain.

The two entangled on the sofa.

His breathing became increasingly rapid.

The temperature in the air continued to rise.

Xu Zhiyou's neatly tied bun completely fell apart.

Long hair covered the sofa cushions.

Jiang Yichen picked her up in one go.

Xu Zhiyou instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist and tightly hugged his neck with both hands.

She buried her burning cheeks in Jiang Yichen's neck, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Jiang Yichen strode forward, carrying her directly to the master bedroom deep inside.

The door to the master bedroom was closed by the tip of his foot.

Moonlight streamed into the bedroom through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the two-meter-wide custom-made bed.

Clothes were scattered from the foot of the bed all the way to the center of the carpet.

A pink, fitted dress.

A man's white shirt.

They overlapped.

The long-suppressed emotions finally erupted at this moment.

Xu Zhiyou hugged the person in her arms tightly.

Fingertips scratched red marks on his broad back.

Actually, she wasn't afraid of Jiang Yichen rejecting her at all tonight.

What she feared was that she wouldn't even have the courage to speak out.

Now, the person she has cherished since college finally belongs to her.

The night was deep outside the window.

The waters of the Huangpu River lapped against the embankment.

The master bedroom was filled with enchanting springtime scenery.

That night, neither of them slept.

........

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the master bedroom through the sheer curtains.

The carpet was a mess.

Xu Zhiyou nestled in the blankets, revealing half of her shoulder.

The fair skin was dotted with obvious red marks.

Her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

My whole body ached as if it had fallen apart.

Especially the legs, even moving them is difficult.

Memories of last night flooded my mind like a tidal wave.

From the sofa in the living room to the king-size bed in the bedroom.

again and again.

Xu Zhiyou's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

She quietly turned her head away.

Jiang Yichen lay on his side next to him, still fast asleep.

His breathing was even, and his handsome face no longer held its usual aloofness and defensiveness.

Xu Zhiyou extended a finger and carefully poked his abs.

It's rock hard.

It feels great to the touch.

She couldn't help but chuckle to herself, pulling her face back under the covers, leaving only her eyes peeking out as she stared intently at the person beside her.
