After the charity banquet ended, Lu Jinxing didn't return to Ci Garden and brought Jiang Jiu to the hotel. Standing in the dark room, Jiang Jiu's heart beat faster and faster.
"Why are we here?" Jiang Jiu took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. Her premonition was right. This man had supported her at the charity banquet and did not have any good intentions.
"You really don't understand?" Lu Jinxing lowered his head slightly. The white evening gown Jiang Jiu was wearing tonight had an off-shoulder collar, revealing her exquisite and beautiful collarbone.
They were too close. The man's warm breath landed on her neck, making Jiang Jiu feel a little itchy.
Ever since she entered this suite, Jiang Jiu had been on guard. She couldn't figure out what the man was thinking and could only deal with it carefully. "Third Young Master helped me tonight. I'm very grateful."
"How are you grateful?" Lu Jinxing smiled and raised his hand. His fingertips landed on the red mark on Jiang Jiu's neck and gently rubbed it.
It was the mark he had left.
Not only did Lu Jinxing have a good-looking face, but he also had a pair of beautiful hands. Jiang Jiu didn't dare to dodge, not wanting to anger him. "Third Young Master doesn't lack anything. Why don't we go home and I make a cup of coffee for Third Young Master to try?"
The surroundings were dim, but Jiang Jiu's eyes were bright and clear. Lu Jinxing stared at her face and chuckled. "Mrs. Lu is so smart. You want to send me off with a cup of coffee?"
Initially, Jiang Jiu was a little touched by his public rescue. However, when she saw the evil smile on the man's lips, all her gratitude dissipated.
He was indeed Lu Jinxing. He wouldn't do a losing deal!
The river scenery outside the window was resplendent, and the light from the neon lights spread behind the man. Jiang Jiu stood by the bed, and all she could see was Lu Jinxing's good-looking face.
"Does it have to be here?" Jiang Jiu's voice was very soft, and not much emotion could be heard.
What was wrong with this place? It was here that night. Lu Jinxing narrowed his eyes. It was such a memorable place.
Jiang Jiu's limbs instantly stiffened as her body sank into the soft bed. She didn't want to recall. The man clearly didn't want her to have her way.
"After so many classes, you must have improved a little." Lu Jinxing chuckled.
Jiang Jiu's face turned red. How could he say that? This shameless scumbag!
The person in his arms blushed, and a burning fire spread in Lu Jinxing's eyes. It was undeniable that Jiang Jiu was very beautiful. Her facial features were flamboyant and exquisite, and she couldn't hide her beauty.
Who wouldn't want such beauty?
The lights in the room were not switched on. The lights outside the window were dim, and the faint light that fell in was enough for one to distinguish things. After a long time, the man's hoarse voice sounded. "Jiang Jiu, is this what you learned in class? What a waste of my money."
"…"
Jiang Jiu closed her eyes tightly. She really wanted to slap him. She raised an arm weakly, her entire body limp and weak. Didn't he despise her? Then why was there no end to this!
…
In the early morning, a black sports car stopped in the parking lot of the Intercontinental Hotel. Not long after, Song Shaoshi held the hand of the person beside him and walked into the elevator.
The lights in the room lit up. Lin Yin was leaning against the sofa, her face pale. She was still wearing Song Shaoshi's suit jacket. The oversized clothes made her look especially petite, looking weak.
"Are you hungry? Do you want some porridge?" Song Shaoshi washed his hands and sat down beside Lin Yin. He touched her forehead. Her fever had subsided after the infusion.
"Ahem." Lin Yin covered her mouth and coughed a few times. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "Shaoshi, I'm feeling much better."
"Take the medicine first." Song Shaoshi took out the medicine prepared by the doctor and brought over a glass of warm water.
Lin Yin obediently took it, but she still didn't look too good.
"Yinyin, I…"
"Shaoshi!" Lin Yin covered Song Shaoshi's mouth and said weakly, "I'm really much better. You don't have to blame yourself."
Holding Lin Yin's hand gently, Song Shaoshi felt a deep sense of self-reproach. In the past, he liked to race. Five years ago, when the car accident happened, Lin Yin threw herself at him. He only suffered light injuries, but Lin Yin injured her lungs. From then on, she fell ill and her body was especially weak. It was also because of this that his family found out that he and Lin Yin were in a relationship. In a fit of anger, Old Master Song sent Lin Yin away and cut off her connection with Song Shaoshi.
In the past five years, Song Shaoshi had caused trouble and looked for Lin Yin, but there had been no news of her. Later on, he met Jiang Jiu and gradually stopped. However, who would have thought that Lin Yin would appear again just before his engagement to Jiang Jiu?
Song Shaoshi's handsome face was dark. He was not an ungrateful person. Lin Yin had been with him since he was young and had saved his life. He told himself that his lover was Lin Yin.
But Jiang Jiu…
Thinking of this woman, Song Shaoshi's eyes dimmed. He had called off the engagement in public because he was anxious to bring Lin Yin overseas for treatment. However, in just a month, Jiang Jiu had actually married someone else!
"Shaoshi, come and eat something." Lin Yin heated up the porridge and handed it to Song Shaoshi.
The light was warm and yellow. Lin Yin held the spoon in her hand and stared at Song Shaoshi. Compared to five years ago, this man was less youthful and bright. He was more handsome and charming, making him even more attractive.
Five years.
Lin Yin's eyes darkened and she pursed her lips slightly. In the five years she was gone, he had another woman by his side.
After eating the porridge, Song Shaoshi prepared to leave. Lin Yin had nowhere to stay after returning to the country, so he booked a room for her in the hotel.
"Sleep early. Call me if anything happens." The man picked up his suit jacket and stood up to leave.
"Cough cough cough…"
There was a violent cough and Lin Yin bent down in pain. Song Shaoshi patted her back gently. "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Lin Yin shook her head, her face pale. "No need. I just took the medicine. It will take a while for the medicine to take effect."
It was already late at night. Song Shaoshi turned around and returned to the sofa. He took off his suit jacket and threw it aside. "I'll stay here. Go and rest in peace."
Lin Yin no longer had any relatives and could only rely on him now.
"The couch is too small. Why don't you sleep on the bed?"
"No need."
Song Shaoshi turned on the dim floor lamp and pointed at her. "Go and rest. Call me if you feel unwell."
"Okay."
The bed in the hotel bedroom was very big. Lin Yin leaned against the head of the bed and her eyes passed through the open bedroom door. She could see Song Shaoshi lying on the sofa in the living room.
The man was tall and had long legs. That sofa could not accommodate him at all. However, he would rather shrink his limbs than lie on the same bed as her.
Although Song Shaoshi admitted that she was his girlfriend, he had not done anything intimate with her in the past month or so, even when they were alone.
Could it be that there was not even a kiss between a couple?
Lin Yin's expression dimmed. Thinking of Song Shaoshi's burning gaze every time he saw Jiang Jiu, she panicked.
