Tao Yu was stunned, her face suddenly turning red. She opened her mouth, finally squeezing out a few difficult words, “How did you know…” Midway, she remembered the butterfly brooch – if it could transmit voice, listening wasn’t impossible either?
Yue Linze looked normal, but for her, he was still a patient. A psychotherapist failing to maintain professional boundaries and making a patient fall in love with them was already a dereliction of duty, let alone engaging in a sexual relationship.
Although in principle, once she completed her task in this world, her primary personality would not remember anything that happened between them, she would remember, and she could not get past her own moral qualms.
Just thinking about having a relationship with a patient made Tao Yu find it somewhat unacceptable. Even if this person was handsome and wealthy, in reality, she would never be able to reach such heights in eight lifetimes.
Yue Linze was unaware of what Tao Yu was thinking. After exhausting his last bit of patience, he grabbed her neck and kissed her, eliminating the final distance between them. One was bare-chested, the other barely covered, their body temperatures instantly intertwining.
She was stunned for a moment, staring at his enlarged, handsome face up close. Just as she was about to resist, Yue Linze sensed her intention, slightly tightening his grip on her neck. Tao Yu instantly froze, not daring to move.
Yue Linze first traced her full, red lips, gradually becoming unsatisfied with just external caressing, and began his assault. Though his movements were somewhat clumsy, they were domineering and resolute.
Initially, Tao Yu would slightly fight back, but each time she resisted, his attack became more fierce, as if wanting to devour her whole. With his right hand constantly gripping her neck, forcing her to endure all his intimacies, her resistance gradually diminished.
Under his relentless invasion, her gaze became increasingly hazy, and she unconsciously responded to him twice.
The room’s atmosphere gradually heated up. Yue Linze slowly became unsatisfied with just kissing. His free hand covered her chest. The moment his cool hand touched her through the fabric and skin, Tao Yu jolted awake, seeing his passionate eyes, and hurriedly turned away to push him.
Yue Linze looked at her displeased, directly grabbing both of her restless hands and pinning them above her head. While kissing her lips, he hoarsely said, “Don’t move.”
Whether due to the atmosphere or not, Yue Linze, who previously spoke with cold undertones, now seemed to have a hint of warmth in his voice. But Tao Yu didn’t want him to have any warmth, knowing his temperature might potentially burn her to ashes.
Embracing the resistance spirit of staying completely still like a tortoise, Tao Yu immediately started moving. He punishingly bit her red lips, and Tao Yu let out a muffled groan, looking at him in disbelief. Is this guy a dog?!
Seeing her now docile, Yue Linze shifted his focus, his thin lips trailing over her vulnerable neck, finally resting at her collarbone.
He seemed to really like her ears, burying his face in her neck, his lips lingering there. Tao Yu, suppressing the strange stirrings in her body, lay stiffly on the bed: “Mr. Yue, please get up. I feel this is somewhat inappropriate.”
She was truly professional, not kicking away this sexually harassing client even at this point, but seriously negotiating with him.
Yue Linze’s response was to leave his teeth mark on her ear. Tao Yu cried out in pain, frowning and about to scold him, but he then kissed the spot he had just bitten.
“…” Tao Yu knew he was beyond reason now, and could only rely on her strong struggle to escape this man-eating room.
Yue Linze was finally provoked by her uncooperativeness, increasing the force of his hands to prevent her from resisting.
Tao Yu was on the verge of tears: “Mr. Yue, I’m a doctor. The most basic professional ethics for a doctor is to not engage in any improper relationships with patients. Although I like you, please understand…”
Before her words finished, Yue Linze slipped his hand between her back and the bed sheet, undoing the hidden clasp of her underwear.
Tao Yu felt her chest suddenly loose, becoming even more flustered, speaking faster: “Mr. Yue, please respect me. Although I like you, I’m a young girl with basic principles. If I just sleep with you like this, what would I become? I’m very conservative!”
She deliberately raised her voice, righteously refusing Yue Linze, trying to move him with her sense of integrity.
Yue Linze sat up straight, looking down at her. He didn’t put his full body weight on Tao Yu’s legs, so his body was tense, his already prominent abs now even more defined, neatly and beautifully displayed before Tao Yu’s eyes.
The towel dangerously draped on him, just covering his critical areas, with the hidden parts still hinting at his vigorous vitality.
Tao Yu’s face shamefully reddened. She coughed and turned away, continuing: “Mr. Yue, with your wealthy background, the woman you’ll marry will surely be from a matching social class. What would happen to a conservative person like me then? Spend my life alone with a tarnished body?”
She passionately defended herself, almost disgusting herself with her own tone. After speaking, she carefully glanced at Yue Linze, her little heart constantly on edge.
If this didn’t work, she would have to tear into him. Otherwise, her professional career would be stained before it even began. If Yue Linze had even a one-in-ten-thousand chance of remembering what his alternate personality did in the dissociative world, she might not even be able to work as an assistant.
Thinking of this, she immediately widened her eyes, looking at Yue Linze with utmost sincerity, hoping he would have mercy and let her go.
Yue Linze stared at her expressionlessly. Tao Yu felt his aura growing colder, making her involuntarily hunch her shoulders and reflect on her previous speech – it should be fine, it sounded quite sincere. Yue Linze wouldn’t detect any problems.
So was he angry about her refusal? Did this mean he was only interested in her body, and his interest hadn’t yet reached the point of caring for her emotional needs?
In the midst of Tao Yu’s wandering thoughts, Yue Linze lowered his gaze from her body. She felt suddenly light and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that just as she had considered, Yue Linze’s interest in her was only physical, which made things much easier. She would escape tonight by dressing more conservatively and displaying more crude behavior, believing this would quickly dispel his affection.
Taking advantage of his temporary absence, Tao Yu immediately began tidying her clothes, quickly buttoning her top from top to bottom.
After getting out of bed, Yue Linze walked out and soon returned with a stack of items. Tao Yu blinked, wondering if he intended to tempt her with money.
…What virtue or ability did she possess to make Master Yue spend so lavishly?
Yue Linze walked back to the bedside, looking down at her and saying, “I didn’t expect your appetite to be so large, actually wanting to become the Yue family’s wife.”
Tao Yu opened her mouth to refute but then thought that if she could make him believe she was insatiably greedy, that might not be bad. She just needed to maintain the right balance. So she gave a bitter smile, seeming to acknowledge Yue Linze’s words, as if with some unavoidable bitter circumstances.
Seeing she didn’t object, Yue Linze threw the items onto her and said casually, “It’s too late today. We’ll register tomorrow.”
Tao Yu was stunned, looking down to see a pile of identification documents. Her heart sank, and Yue Linze lifted her chin.
“Anything else to say?” Yue Linze asked coldly.
Tao Yu’s mouth twitched as she said dryly, “I’m on my period.”
