Chapter 13: Slept Together

The next morning, Tang Xin woke up—or rather…

The next morning, Tang Xin woke up in Yue Yuze’s bed—or, no…

To be precise, the next morning, Tang Xin woke up and realized she had been sleeping in Yue Yuze’s bed!

Beside her, the man calmly got up and started dressing…

Tang Xin, trembling and curled up in the corner of the bed like a frightened little bunny, asked in a pitiful tone, “W-why am I sleeping here?”

Last night…

Oh no, did she blackout from drinking?

How frustrating! She actually managed to blackout from drinking red wine?

Wait, she got drunk, and then ended up sharing a bed with Yue Yuze… Oh my goodness!!!!!

Her mind was flooded with countless vivid images straight out of steamy romance scenes, entirely fueled by her own imagination.

But even just imagining it was terrifying enough…

Suddenly, she lunged forward, grabbing the arm of the man, and looked up at him with trembling lips. She stammered, “Y-Yue… President Yue! Did we… did we sleep together last night?”

As Yue Yuze buttoned up the last button of his shirt collar, he glanced down at the woman on the bed.

She was sprawled across the bed, her nightdress rolled up to her thighs, exposing her long, fair legs that almost seemed to glow. Her small face was tilted upward, wearing an expression of guilt as if she had committed an unforgivable sin last night…

The corners of his lips curled up, and his gaze turned darkly playful.

Slept with him… Was it such an unbearable thought?

Hadn’t this been something she used to yearn for?

Even now, this woman was still pretending?

“President Yue…” Tang Xin shook his arm, nearly on the verge of tears. “Say something! Did we sleep together or not?”

The man finally deigned to open his lips, his tone indifferent, as if he were stating an insignificant fact. “Yes. We did.”

Her face turned pale upon hearing that. “How… how did that happen?”

Yue Yuze chuckled coldly. “You should ask yourself. You insisted on following me in, clinging to me…” He left the rest unsaid.

Retracting his hand, he turned and walked toward the bathroom.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

“AAAAHHHHHHHH!” Tang Xin let out a piercing scream.

At the bathroom door, Yue Yuze turned his head back and reminded her in a calm voice, “You can scream louder if you want… That way, everyone in the villa will soon know you spent the night with me.”

Her scream abruptly stopped.

Bang.

The man disappeared into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Tang Xin was on the verge of tears. She felt as though her twenty-something years of pristine innocence… oh, her pure body had been completely ruined by this scumbag.

Yes, that’s right.

No matter how perfect Yue Yuze was as the male lead, at the end of the day, he was the male lead of the female protagonist. In such domineering CEO stories, he would only ever dote on his wife. To other women, he was cruel and heartless.

She, Tang Xin, was destined to be the ex-wife he treated with cold indifference!

To the female protagonist, he was the perfect husband.

To the female supporting character, he was a complete scumbag!

She rolled around on the massive bed twice in despair, only to feel even more miserable… because there wasn’t even a trace of blood.

“I wrote Tang Xin as someone who didn’t mess around, so why… why isn’t there any proof? Oh no, Yue the scumbag must think I’m not a virgin!”

But how could she possibly explain to him that she really was a virgin?

Would he even care?

She got out of bed feeling confused and quietly snuck out of Yue Yuze’s room.

This incident… This incident must never have happened!

She absolutely couldn’t let the male lead think she would use this to blackmail him or anything. To avoid giving him any such ideas, she resolved to act as if this event meant nothing to her.

Back in her own room, Tang Xin took several deep breaths, calming herself down after dozens of tries.

So what if she had… had a fling with the male lead?

It wasn’t a big deal!

After washing up and getting dressed, she went downstairs to the dining room.

Yue Yuze was there as well.

She didn’t mention anything and only asked, “By the way, President Yue, you said you had something to discuss with me last night. But later… you didn’t say what it was?”

When she’d gone to him, he had asked her to drink, and then one thing led to another, and she ended up in his bed.

Regret. Deep regret…

Although she often wrote steamy scenes in her novels, deep down, she was actually quite conservative. She had always wanted to save her first time for the man she truly loved…

Oh, Yue Yuze was technically her husband too, but… not the man she loved.

“I heard from Fan Bei that Director Liang invited your agent, Qi Shu, to dinner. I wanted to ask if Director Liang had already confirmed a role for you?”

“Oh, so that’s what you wanted to ask. Well, Director Liang did invite Ashu to dinner, but no roles were confirmed. I called Ashu last night, and he said Director Liang mentioned liking me and hoping I would improve…” Basically, just empty pleasantries.

She suspected that Director Liang was more interested in Qi Shu and used her desire to act as an excuse to have dinner with him.

It had to be that. What a shameless old man!

“I see,” Yue Yuze said, then lowered his head to continue eating breakfast.

…He didn’t say another word about what had happened the night before.

Since he didn’t bring it up, Tang Xin wasn’t going to be foolish enough to bring it up herself.

This Yue scumbag! He had clearly lost control last night and done something inappropriate with her while she was drunk. Now, he was probably feeling regret and pretending nothing had happened, afraid she’d cling to him.

Although she had no intention of clinging to him, the way he acted… was just so scummy!
