Ye Juemo picked up the strands of hair by Yan Xiruo’s cheek with his slender and long fingers. He placed them close to his nose and inhaled the fragrance of her hair greedily. It was different from the artificial perfume other women used. Her body always exuded a clear and natural fragrance.
He leaned in very closely, and all she could inhale was a strong smell of masculinity. Yan Xiruo wanted to avoid him, but her slender body was surrounded by him. She couldn’t escape at all.
Yan Xiruo bit her lips and looked up, past her long eyelashes. She looked at his deep, dangerous, and narrow eyes. “I’m not willing to!” She wasn’t familiar with him. Even if she was, she had a husband. How could she have an ambiguous relationship with another man outside?
Ye Juemo seemed to have expected that she would say that because he wasn’t annoyed. He looked at her beautiful face with deep eyes. His emotions were unknown as he curved down the corners of his lips. “If you follow me, I’ll dote on you.”
Yan Xiruo was stunned for a moment. Then, she seemed to have heard a big joke as she started to laugh with sarcasm. She and Lu Jingchen were childhood sweethearts. They had known each other since they were young. When he proposed to her back then, he also said before that he would dote on her forever.
In the end? As soon as they got married, he started to ignore her.
After being fooled by a man whom she deeply loved, Yan Xiruo wouldn’t believe another man’s words again, especially this dangerous and overbearing man who had ruined her innocence.
Yan Xiruo pulled back the strands of hair that he held in his palm. She lowered her head and straightened her long and black hair. Her dense eyelashes hung low, casting two shadows on her gentle and elegant face. The mocking smile at the corners of her mouth deepened. “Sir, it’s not good to be overconfident at times. Indeed, you’re excellent in all aspects. However, I don’t care about any of that. Who says that women can only lead a good life if they are pampered by men? With my own hands and feet, I can rely on myself and lead a wonderful life as well.”
She had never fancied Lu Jingchen’s family background. She married him simply because she liked him.
Ye Juemo had never been rejected by a woman before. His sword-like eyebrows lowered in a frown. A trace of coldness radiated from his dark eyes. “Woman, you tried all ways to make me notice you. Now, you’re telling me ‘no’? Don’t you find that it’s too late?”
Yan Xiruo felt embarrassed and annoyed when she heard Ye Juemo’s words. She became speechless. Since when did she approach him deliberately?
After taking a deep breath, she lifted her long eyelashes and looked at his gloomy expression. She said with patience, “Sir, I’ll repeat myself. It was a misunderstanding that I appeared in your room that night. My husband had booked that presidential suite previously and I didn’t know that he had checked out after that… Also, for tonight, I know it’s my fault that I asked you to bring me away. However, I really didn’t mean to provoke you…”
Yan Xiruo’s eyes turned red, and a layer of mist covered her almond-shaped eyes. “If I fool around outside like Lu Jingchen does, then what’s the difference between us? Sir, if you get together with me, your reputation will be greatly impacted as well. Are you really willing for people to point fingers behind your back?”
Ye Juemo looked at Yan Xiruo’s long eyelashes, which were stained with tears. A trace of pity that he didn’t even recognize flashed past his eyes. His thin lips formed a straight, tight line. He got off her. With his back facing her, he said coldly, “Remember, if you provoke me again next time, I won’t let you get out.”
Yan Xiruo looked at Ye Juemo’s tall and big figure. She got off the bed and fled.
