5 This Time Around (1/2)

The impatient knock on the door woke Hui Yin up.

She found herself lying on the bed she had owned when she was still twenty-two, extremely happy because she had a good night's sleep. Ever since her marriage to Lu Shen, Hui Yin had either gone to bed late because of helping Lu Shen with his several work documents, or because she was being plagued with endless nightmares.

So she opened the door with a smile, which instantly dissolved once she saw that it was Lu Shen.

Lu Shen's forehead creased. He found that this girl had been behaving oddly since last night. Usually, she opened the door with a frown, but once she saw that it was him, it would quickly blossom into a smile.

Maybe...she was expecting someone else?

Hui Yin felt her waist being grabbed, but before she could protest, the words died in her mouth as Lu Shen's mouth covered hers.

She jerked her head away, but the arm around her waist tightened.

A hand grabbed her chin to keep her steady, and Hui Yin was helpless as Lu Shen kissed her roughly...his tongue tangled with hers, and the resolve she had made last night began to crumble.

Hui Yin was nearly out of breath when Lu Shen finally pulled away, and she looked at him with wide eyes. A second later, she began to feel uncomfortable, as something warm and hard began to press against her stomach.

Lu Shen pushed her away.

”Go inside and change,” he said, his voice cold. ”We're leaving in five minutes. Don't be late again.”

Immediately after saying that, he walked away without looking back at her.

Hui Yin felt like he had slapped her.

So he had only kissed her to punish her. After being treated by him like a slave in her previous lifetime, had she still not learned her lesson?
