Chapter 2 - Slept with the Wrong Person

Lin Yike was sure that she didn't know the completely unfamiliar man standing before her.

"Did you walk into the wrong room?" His temperament was cold, and his gaze gave her a feeling of looking down on her. "I'm Gu Jingting, your child's father."

His introduction was short and direct, and although his voice was clear and indifferent, it sounded like a muffled thunder in Lin Yike's ears, making her dizzy.

Her originally pale face turned even whiter in an instant. She struggled to sit up from the bed and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at him uncontrollably.

"Rapist, how dare you show up? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the police!" Lin Yike growled angrily.

Compared to her hysteria, Gu Jingting casually raised his arm to block the pillow thrown at him, then walked to the side of the hospital bed with his long legs.

Sleeping on the bed was a baby in swaddling clothes, with a wrinkled, red face like a little monkey.

Lin Yike didn't know what he was trying to do and instinctively reached out to protect the baby in her arms.

"Why haven't you reported me yet?" Gu Jingting's gaze shifted away from the baby and back to her. His deep and calm black eyes were penetrating.

Lin Yike bit her lip, trembling all over and too angry to speak.

She couldn't report him because she had no evidence to prove that he had raped her.

That night, she had walked into his room herself, mistaking him for someone else, and she hadn't even resisted throughout the entire incident.

"What do you want?" Lin Yike asked hoarsely, her previous arrogance gone.

"If you calm down, we can talk," he said.

Lin Yike glared at him. What could she possibly have to talk about with her rapist?

"You have two choices, marry me or give me custody of the child." He spoke with a tone of entitlement, as if he was accustomed to giving orders.

Lin Yike felt an overwhelming urge to tear off his handsome face. How dare a rapist make demands? "You can forget about it..."

"Don't answer right away. Take your time and give me a call when you've made up your mind." Gu Jingting interrupted her, his handsome face expressionless as he placed a business card with a floral design on the bedside table.

The door opened and closed silently as the man left.

The baby in the swaddle slept soundly, completely unaware of the situation.

Lin Yike closed her eyes weakly, feeling aggrieved. Her eyes stung with the urge to cry.

Memories from a year ago flooded her mind like a tide.

On her eighteenth birthday, she had made an agreement with her fiancé, Zuo Ye, to give each other their virginity.

But her half-sister, Lu Yuxin, had gotten her drunk and took her place on Zuo Ye's bed.

Meanwhile, in another dark room, a stranger had raped her.

Lin Yike had thought that the man who had spent the night with her was Zuo Ye. But when she woke up the next morning, she was naked in bed, and the room was empty.

She didn't know what happened, and called Zuo Ye's name like a fool. Then, the stepmother Lu Huixin broke in with someone, hugged her and cried loudly, "Xiao Ke, my poor child, how could this happen. Auntie has already called the police, and she will never let the beast that raped you go... ..."

After Lu Huixin made such a fuss, everyone knew that she slept with the wrong person.

Her father, Lin Jianshan, slapped her angrily, indiscriminately...

The knock on the door brought Lin Yike from memory back to reality.

Subconsciously, she thought it was Gu Jingting, so she forced herself to get out of bed, opened the door angrily, and growled, "What else do you want!"

"So angry!" Outside the door, Lu Yuxin reached out and took off the black sunglasses on her face, revealing a face with exquisite makeup, with a bright and ostentatious smile.
