Chapter 3

You’ve got the wrong person.

The door next to her suddenly opened from the inside, Zhou Xingyang subconsciously raised her head and looked over, abruptly meeting a pair of deep eyes.

Her brain lost its ability to think, and she lowered her head, her gaze falling on his waist, where only a bath towel was wrapped around him, water droplets rolling down his abs…

Zhou Xingyang shook her head, feeling even hotter, she turned her head away and wanted to continue walking forward, but her arm was suddenly grabbed.

“Don’t… don’t touch me…”

Through the clothes, Zhou Xingyang could still feel the heat radiating from him, her other hand pushed against his shoulder in resistance.

But this little strength was obviously insignificant to the man.

Zhou Xingyang’s heart beat fast, her whole body went limp, she was pulled inside without any resistance.

With a bang, the door closed.

Zhou Xingyang was afraid and resisted, “You… you’ve got the wrong person, I’m not – ugh…”

Her lips were suddenly blocked, followed by his hot body pressed against her, Zhou Xingyang was stunned for a moment, this was her first kiss…

Her soft body seemed to have changed owners, her hands and feet began to disobey her, a tingling itch in her body urgently wanted to be relieved…

Everything became uncontrollable, she seemed to have become a ball of cotton that could be kneaded at will.

For some reason, Zhou Xingyang could clearly feel the man’s movements, every kiss on her, even the place where his palm touched…

She would rather have fallen asleep, but her consciousness remained clear until she finally fainted from exhaustion.

……

The morning sun was very dazzling, Zhou Xingyang just raised her arm a little, and was awakened by pain.

She opened her eyes, looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and was stunned, praying that she was dreaming, that everything last night was a dream.

But the pain in her body reminded her that this was reality.

The memory of last night flooded back into her mind, she struggled to raise her legs and curled up into a ball, tears rolling down her cheeks.

The sound of water from the bathroom stopped, Zhou Xingyang grabbed the blanket in fear and sat up, covering the marks on her neck.

She looked at the man who was only wearing a bathrobe, his face full of apprehension.

“Awake?”

“Go back and tell your boss that I don’t play this game, let him come and talk to me personally.”

This was the first time she had been tricked, Shen Sichen’s tone wasn’t good, and he inexplicably felt a little angry and regretful.

Seeing him lean over, Zhou Xingyang hid back in fear, listening to his words, she felt inexplicably puzzled and choked, “You can’t do this… it’s a crime.”

Shen Sichen sneered, pulled out his tie from under the blanket, laughed, “Can’t do what? It’s already done, what else do you want? You work in this line of work and you still know it’s a crime?”

“Tsk.” Shen Sichen rubbed his face, there was a blood mark on it from her fingernails, “You should be glad I’m a generous person.”

He casually sat down by the bed, seeing her dodge back again, his smile deepened.

“The 10th floor is only accessible to guests who are staying overnight, did I force you to come up? Besides, you weren’t very resistant last night.”

Shen Sichen recalled the scene from last night, and a surge of irritation surged through him.

Those words were too harsh, Zhou Xingyang lowered her head, her whole body radiated coldness, but it wasn’t what she wanted.

She thought of Song Weilan, Qiao Jin, Xu Mucheng, and the bottle of water…

“Boss, the stuff is here.”

Zhou Xingyang heard the voice outside, and pulled the blanket higher.

Shen Sichen got up from the bed, threw the tie on the floor, and went out, closing the door behind him.

“You’re so slow to deliver something? Why didn’t you wait until I was buried before you came?”

“Rush hour, boss, there was a bit of traffic.” Wei Chuan put the stuff on the table, seeing the blood stain on his face, he was stunned, “Boss, what happened to your face?”

Shen Sichen looked at him like he was an idiot, “Bumped into someone’s hand, do you want to try it?”

Wei Chuan held back his laughter and kept quiet, shaking his head, then said, “Everything is here, give it to her now?”

“Hurry up.” Shen Sichen kicked him, “Hurry up and finish it and go back to the company.”

“Okay.” Wei Chuan responded.

This was probably the first time he had seen Shen Sichen being tricked and beaten in the few years he had been following him, Wei Chuan felt a little schadenfreude, he turned his head and saw that Shen Sichen was looking at him with deep eyes, and quickly stopped smiling.

“Boss, you have some breakfast first to replenish your energy.”

Shen Sichen kicked him again, “Talk again and I’ll deduct your salary.”

Zhou Xingyang endured the pain and put on her clothes, listening to the vague conversation and laughter outside, she was wronged and angry, she wiped her tears and adjusted her mood.

Shen Sichen ate his breakfast while looking at the tablet, and soon the bedroom door opened again.

Zhou Xingyang came out from inside, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.

Wei Chuan saw this, picked up the bag on the table and walked over to her, then handed it to her.

Zhou Xingyang saw a stack of money inside, she had never seen so much money before, just sleeping for one night, it was worth so much money…

It was ridiculous and sad.

“Slap—”

Zhou Xingyang dropped the paper bag on the floor, the heavy weight fell to the ground, making a loud dull sound, she held back her tears and the anger in her heart, “I told you I’m not, I told you yesterday, you got the wrong person.”

“This is a crime, I’m going to call the police…”

Her eyes were moist, saying these words seemed to take a lot of courage, she looked wronged and innocent, naive and pitiful.

Shen Sichen calmly said “oh” and continued to eat his sandwich.

Wei Chuan picked up the paper bag, took out his phone with his other hand, “What number do you want to call? I have Chief Li’s number from the Public Security Bureau here, and Chief Wu’s from the Procuratorate too, you see…”

Zhou Xingyang angrily knocked away his outstretched phone, “How can you do this…”

Shen Sichen felt a little irritated and threw down his sandwich, looked over, his tone impatient, “So?”

He leaned back on the sofa, looking at the tears on her face, he felt a wave of irritation, “You’re a little girl, I don’t want to bother with you, take the money and leave.”

“You can try to make a fuss, but it won’t do you any good.”

Zhou Xingyang felt a surge of anger in her chest, she endured the pain and rushed over, without hesitation, she slapped him in the face, then turned and left.

She was so fast that Wei Chuan didn’t even have time to stop her, he quickly ran over, “Boss!”

“She’s crazy!” Shen Sichen cursed, “Don’t let me know who sent her!”

Zhou Xingyang slammed the door shut, blocking out all the sound, the corridor was silent, she wiped away her tears, and found the elevator after a while.

The staff inside had changed, they smiled faintly and pressed the button for the first floor, as if they were used to this kind of thing.

Only now did she understand the look in the staff member’s eyes last night. She lowered her head, holding back her tears, trying to make herself look less pathetic.

Back in the dormitory, Zhou Xingyang rushed into the bathroom, the person in the mirror had red and swollen eyes, her lips were bitten, and the kiss marks on her neck couldn’t be covered…
