Chapter 1279 - : Regret (2/2)

Standing before the mirror, she stared at the bruises and marks all over her fair skin. She really wanted to run out and slap that man to death.

However, she could only imagine.

She felt really miserable, sad, emotional and slightly empty.

Would he regret it if he woke up tomorrow and realized that he had touched her?

As she closed her eyes as two tear trails fell from the corners of her eyes.

She hurriedly took a shower.

After putting on her pajamas, she went to the room next door, deciding to sleep on Gu Meng’s bed instead.

…

The next morning, Cen Xi got up and went to work.

When she arrived at the translation department, she heard that Linda had taken extended leave. Xiaoyou’s eyes on Cen Xi were complicated and filled with fear. However, she didn’t dare to gossip and create rumors anymore. if Mr Qiao found out, wouldn’t she end up like Linda?

Since Cen Xi hadn’t rested properly last night, she didn’t seem to be in the right mindset for work. She was dazed the entire day, her mind in a muddle.

She didn’t know if the man had left her apartment. She only knew that he hadn’t contacted her for the entire day.

He probably regretted it after he woke up, right?

Cen Xi laid on her office table, her eyes turning red as an urge to cry swelled within her.

“Cen Xi, you can’t cry!” She warned herself.

If he looks for you again and wants to take advantage of you, you should shoot him straight away! You must let him know that you aren’t an easy target!

After work, Cen Xi didn’t go home right away. She worked overtime a little before she took a nap on her desk.

When she woke up, it was almost nine at night.

By now she was really hungry, so she hurriedly tidied her belongings and left work. She went to the mall, had some food and bought some things before she returned to her apartment.

When she entered her room and saw what was happening inside, she was so shocked she instantly took two steps back.

The man she thought had left long ago, was leaning against the bed frame, smoking. He had her towel wrapped around his waist as his well-defined and firm muscles were exposed. The faint moonlight s.h.i.+ning in from the window and the flicking of the red fire made his handsome and devilish face look colder and shaper.

He slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke before he looked up and glanced at the woman who looked like she had just seen a ghost. “It seems like your stamina is quite good. You worked for the entire day and still stayed out so late.”

Cen Xi was speechless.

Why did his tone sound like this was his house? Come on, this was her territory, alright?

…

Cen Xi stared at the man smoking on her bed. Her chest heaved up and down a little as all sorts of emotions swelled within her. She sniffled and her eyes were instantly filled with tears. All of her sadness, stress, grievances and uneasiness acc.u.mulated throughout the day seemed to explode at this moment.

As she sniffled, she pointed towards the door. “I don’t want to see you! Get out!”

With that said, she ran towards the balcony adjoining the living room. She leaned against the railing and stared at the pretty and bright city as her tears fell.

He was a huge a**hole! Her good upbringing prevented her from scolding the man too harshly, so she’d rather not see him at all. She would only return to her room after he left.

She didn’t tie her hair up today at work. Instead, she kept it down so that it would cover the marks he left on her neck. The night breeze blew at her, blowing at her long hair and ruffling her tresses in the darkness.

The man didn’t leave and walked to the balcony instead. Her long hair seemed to touch his nose, exuding a faint fragrance that tickled his senses.

As he picked up a few strands of hair, he placed it before his lips and nose as he took it in slowly.

Cen Xi, who was feeling extremely terrible, noticed that something was wrong. She turned back and saw the man who didn’t leave and instead, was holding onto a bunch of her hair. She furrowed her eyebrows and tugged her hair out from his hold. “Why haven’t you left?”

He approached her and placed his hands on each of her side on the railing. His handsome face leaned closer towards hers. “You will only cry harder if I leave.”

Cen Xi glared at him. “I won’t!”

Noting her wet eyelashes, pretty nose and her red lips, he lifted her exquisite chin. “Did you leave so early in the morning because you don’t dare to face me?”
