Mu Shaosi's arrogant dominance left Xinran speechless. She didn't know what else she could say, only blaming herself for being too impulsive, insisting on standing her ground, which led her to this predicament. If only she had turned and left the moment she encountered him, none of this would have happened...
“Mu Shaosi, can you please calm down and listen to me...” After a moment, Xinran cautiously glanced at the man holding her tightly in his embrace and spoke softly.
“Alright, go ahead,” Mu Shaosi raised an eyebrow, waiting for Xinran to continue.
“Let me go. I didn't mean to provoke you. Can you just pretend we never met tonight?”
“What if I say no?” Mu Shaosi tightened his grip on Xinran's arm. “You easily ignited my anger but expect to leave without extinguishing it. Do you think such a thing is possible?”
Look at how self-righteous this man is, Xinran thought, feeling frustrated. He kept saying she provoked his anger, but what exactly did she do? Did she seduce him or force a kiss? She merely danced with a stranger and shared a kiss, and now she's ignited the desire of Mu Shaosi, a man completely unrelated to her. How charming could she possibly be?
Fine, she decided not to say anything more or plead with him again. She understood that he wouldn't let her go easily tonight, but she also wouldn't compromise easily. If he dared to force her, she would dare to resist...
Mu Shaosi picked up a strand of Xinran's hair, twirling it in his fingers. The room was quiet, but this silence only made Xinran more anxious. She could feel his breath brushing against her neck—a silent ambiguity and an unspoken threat. Although he made no move at that moment, what if he decided to pin her down the next second? Her heart raced faster and faster as if facing a difficult test, yet Xinran didn't dare to breathe.
“What’s wrong? Are you that nervous? Or are you looking forward to something?” Mu Shaosi leaned closer to Xinran's side, his large hand lingering on her smooth cheek. Her touch was as addictive as her lips.
“N-no way! What could I possibly be looking forward to...” To mask her nervousness, Xinran forced her eyes wide open and spoke angrily.
“Is that so? But why do I remember that the last time we were in bed together, you seemed to enjoy it? That night, you even begged me for more...”
"Mu Shaosi, stop talking. There was no last time, and there was no that night. I don't remember anything from the past!" This despicable man, who used their mutual consent from the last time and her initiative that night against her; heaven knows, if there were a pill for regret, she would never let herself make such a mistake!
"You better not remember. A woman belonging to me finds it hard to forget the marks and feelings I've left on her!"
Hearing Mu Shaosi's words, Xinran's face instantly flushed red. Just then, she heard a knock on the door, and her heart began to calm down. It would be best if one of his subordinates had something important to discuss with him, so he wouldn't have time to bother her again. Even if he didn't want to let her go, he would have no choice but to do so.
"Someone is knocking. I'll go open the door!" Xinran hurriedly tried to push away the arm that was holding her.
"Stay put in bed. I'll go open the door. Summer, I warn you, if you dare to run away while I'm opening the door, I won't treat you gently anymore!" Mu Shaosi lifted Xinran's chin and said coldly.
"No, of course I won't run!" For once, Xinran didn't retort, but deep down she felt disdain, as if he had ever been gentle with her; she didn't care for his gentleness at all!
With a cold snort, Mu Shaosi released Xinran and walked toward the door to open it.
