Chapter 40 - Who Is This Man? (1/2)

'Yeah. If really only this is not my Dad's birthday party...' Jiang Li felt it was very regrettable.

It took him a few seconds to realize that it doesn't actually matter now... since even if he staged that popular scene while those two were being intimate, the effect would not be so huge.

'I forgot. If it's a man, who cares who he bedded today or yesterday? Gossips and a bit of stain in reputation wouldn't cause any real and lasting damage. And even if society is not as kind if the subject is a woman, that Bai girl should be an exception due to being the female lead.'

He shrugged and then waited for tomorrow comes. The night was for his father's merriment, and for the leads too. He was not that heartless to take away the limelight from them for tonight.

...

The next day dawned.

Bai Qing woke up feeling so groggy, light-headed, and dizzy.

When her consciousness returned to her head, an uncomfortable pain assailed her from below.

The irritating discomfort came from between her thighs.

'...I-I,'

When she realized that she was n.a.k.e.d and there was human heat coming in contact with the skin on her arm and back, her breathing slowed down until she was holding it for so many seconds.

Bai Qing closed her eyes, still drowning in extreme shock.

However, memories surfaced from her mind, the scenes they played were so blush-inducing and heart-stopping.

The touches. The embarrassing sounds. The rhythm they made atop the bed until a couple of hours ago...

'C-calm down...' She told to her madly beating heart.

Yet it had no effect. The fragments of memories kept playing.

Her heartbeat also kept being crazy. Especially when she remembered every detail of the man's responses and joy when he took her.

Her heart was filled with overwhelming embarrassment... and shyness. Her cheeks became suffused in red. She looked so enchanting and breathtaking.

'I-is the man him?'

With expectations shining faintly from her eyes, she braved tossing to the side to see who she had given herself last night to. Of course, she closed her eyes first, planning to slowly open them for a surprise.

The girl kept her heart at bay, since she was aware that having too many expectations would only result in too much disappointment if what she wanted to happen didn't occur.

However, it seemed that despite keeping this fact in mind, her expectation she harbored was still very high.

And she was not aware of it.

The reason for this must be her confidence in her plan and the person she asked to help her in her quest.

That guy had done his part of the deal, right?

Everything went as planned, right?

However, a second later, as her lids slowly went up to uncover the sight before her...

'E-Eh? W-who is this man? W-who the heck is he!??!! W-why is the o-one next to me n-not J-Jiang Li?'
