When I woke up again, I was lying in my own bed, with Ye Zhengchen sitting beside it. Seeing me awake, he picked up a cup of milk from the table and offered it to me. I sat up and gave a cold laugh. “Showing affection now, don’t you think it’s too late?”
“Drink the milk first, let’s talk properly.”
“I have nothing to say to you, please leave.” Seeing I refused to drink, he took a big gulp himself.
I was stunned, and by the time I reacted, it was too late—he was already holding the back of my head, forcefully kissing me. The milk seeped into my mouth, sickeningly sweet. I bit down, refusing to accept it. He set down the milk cup, gripped my resisting wrists, and kissed me endlessly until I was breathless. I surrendered and swallowed.
When he released me, he picked up the milk cup and looked at me provocatively. Faced with a man who clearly showed himself to be a scoundrel, I had no choice but to snatch the cup from his hand and drink it all. Afterward, I felt much more comfortable, indicating the milk had some sort of “additive.”
He moved closer and said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hidden the matter about Yu Yin.”
“Now that it’s happened, what’s the point of saying sorry?” I replied. We were already over, and I reminded myself of that, afraid of forgetting.
“My relationship with Yu Yin is not what you think.” His gaze was sincere and determined, making it hard to resist trusting him. “Yu Yin’s father and my father are close friends. Yu Yin and I were college classmates.”
I was shocked. “You’ve known each other for a long time?!”
“Yes, for over ten years.”
“Childhood sweethearts?” I laughed sarcastically, gripping the empty cup, waiting for him to continue.
“No.”
I admit she’s a nice girl, and my parents like her, but I resent others arranging my life, which made me resistant towards Yu Yin. Since starting at the same university, I’ve been quite cold towards her.
Two years ago, my parents wanted Yu Yin to accompany me to study in Japan, but I firmly refused. However, they still arranged for her to come. Do you remember the woman who called me on my birthday?
