Chapter 71 (1/2)

It had been a mistake to live with him.

“Gong Yexiao, let me go…”

Because his body was pressed up against hers, Cheng Liyue could feel his hard-on. Her breath hitched and her heart began to beat chaotically.

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

His hand cupped the back of her head. Before she even realized what he was going to do, his breath enveloped her face. Her breathing was ragged as her eyes collided with his dark ones.

She was helpless against his heated kiss that had sealed her red lips.

The man suckled her lips. She could taste the wine off him which stirred her.

At the age of twenty four, she — a fully grown woman — had only ever been kissed once by Lu Junxuan during her wedding. And it had only been a brief touch on her lips. Even on that night four years ago, she had been completely out of it due to her inebriated state.

The domineering kiss this man was giving her now coupled with his lingering taste caused a slight delay in her reaction.

She was somewhat annoyed at herself for being immersed in it for a while. Reaching out, she gave him a shove on the shoulder. The man did not budge but proceeded to deepen the kiss instead.

d.a.m.n it.

Her mind went blank. He was a fiend who was stripping away her strength. She seemed to have been rendered motionless, unable to ward off this onslaught.

Seeming unsatisfied with just having his hand on her waist, his hand slowly skimmed upward…

Seeing that he had crossed the line, she bit down on his lip hard, like a kitten having been riled up. Just like that, the man who had been caught unawares, had his lip bitten.

His hold on her instantly loosened. Panting, Cheng Liyue glared daggers at him.

He lifted his fingers to his lower lip which had been painfully bitten by her. His eyes turned into slits. The expression on his face difficult to decipher.

Cheng Liyue did not want to stay around him a moment longer. Pus.h.i.+ng him off, she hurried to her room, slammed the door shut and locked it while thinking to herself that it would have been great to have a few more bolts on the door.

Cheng Liyue sat on the bed, fl.u.s.tered.

It was too dangerous.

This man was a danger to her. She had almost lost herself in his kiss. This was bad.

Her fingers subconsciously skimmed across her upper lip. She was still slightly trembling from the encounter. Her heart was racing. His warmth lingered on her lips, setting her heart aflutter. Her mouth dried. She needed to drink some water.

But how could she dare to step out of her room to get a drink?

Had the man returned to his room?

Biting her lip, Cheng Liyue entered her bathroom, vexed. She intended to take a shower first.

In the middle of the night, a parched Cheng Liyue left her room hurriedly to get a drink.

Early morning

In a daze, Cheng Liyue was woken up by the knocks on her door. Recalling that her son had school today, she instantly sat up. It must have been her son who had just knocked judging by the sound of it.

She opened the door with tousled hair and saw two males — one large and one small — standing outside. Cheng Liyue hastily covered her chest.

Gong Yexiao let out a low, obnoxious laugh.

After shooting the man a glare, Cheng Liyue's gaze became tender when it landed on her son. “Xiao Ze, give me a few minutes, mommy will have breakfast ready for you.”

“It's okay, mommy. Daddy is going to take me to school and there will be breakfast there. You can go on sleeping!” The little boy replied.

“Uh… are you sure you don't need me to prepare breakfast for you?”
