Lu Qianzhou looked down at her face so close to his.
"What's with the little tantrum?"
Yan Xia snorted. "You actually have the nerve to ask me why. This time, I don't think it's your dear childhood sweetheart's fault. The fault lies entirely with you. You shouldn't have kept things from me."
She didn't mind his past with Jiang Yue, but he shouldn't have hidden it from her and let her hear about it from someone else.
Lu Qianzhou pulled her into his arms. "If you felt unhappy, why didn't you ask me directly? As long as you asked, I would definitely tell you."
Yan Xia retorted, "But you only called me a few times. That's hardly any show of sincerity."
His embrace was broad and warm, shielding her from all the cold winter winds. He was like a mountain in front of her, protecting her from the wind and rain but also blocking her path forward.
"Because I didn't want to think that when I called you, another man was by your side, and you were even going to announce your relationship with him to the public."
These words made Yan Xia's heart skip a beat.
Lu Qianzhou was so good at sweet - talking that she was completely defenseless.
"But you know very well that Fang Jiangyi and I were just pretending. And it's different with you and Jiang Yue. You have a shared childhood and many memories together. You even kissed and hugged her, held her hand and watched movies with her. These are all things I've never done with you."
She was in a low mood and couldn't help feeling jealous.
"You never told me what your relationship with her was, what happened between you two and how far you went. Instead, I heard it from her mouth, and I couldn't stop imagining those scenes over and over again..."
She couldn't go on and bit her lip.
Lu Qianzhou asked, "She told you?"
"Who else could it be!" She was so angry that she pounded his chest with both fists. "Why did she tell me all this? It's because she still likes you. She said these things just to intimidate me and make me give up. Everyone knows that in the eyes of outsiders, you two are a perfect match."
Lu Qianzhou was silent for a moment. He tightly held her hand and placed it on his chest.
"Sorry. Some things are hard to explain, but now there's definitely nothing improper between me and her."
Yan Xia glared at him. "You say there's nothing, but who's going to believe you!"
She had been angry and bothered for so long. It wasn't that easy for him to just brush her off with a few words.
Lu Qianzhou smiled. "Are you going to be unreasonable about this?"
Unreasonable! He actually said she was being unreasonable!
She was instantly furious and struggled desperately to break free from him.
"Isn't all this enough reason for me to be unreasonable? You let a woman who likes you and covets you stay by your side and watched her provoke me without doing anything." Yan Xia looked up at him, her eyes sharp. "Have you forgotten that I'm your girlfriend?"
"I've explained to you. There's really nothing between me and her. You and Fang Jiangyi were also in the same room. I never said anything about it."
Yan Xia was stunned. Were they even talking about the same thing?
The situation between her and Fang Jiangyi was completely different from that between him and Jiang Yue!
There was no comparison at all. And her thing with Fang Jiangyi was just an act. How could he use it as an excuse to silence her? This man was so petty.
She glared at Lu Qianzhou in annoyance and embarrassment. "We're not talking about the same thing at all. If I really had feelings for Fang Jiangyi, why would I be with you? If I really liked him, and I have such a good opportunity now, I could just break up with you."
"You're already talking about breaking up so soon." He squinted at her, his eyes dangerous.
"You!" Yan Xia was so angry that she stared at him. She simply lifted her chin and looked directly into his eyes. "If you insist on distorting the facts like this, then I have nothing to say. Anyway, Fang Jiangyi seems to really like me now. If necessary, I'll really be with him. You can go back to your childhood sweetheart. Then you won't have to worry about me anymore."
Yan Xia turned around and walked out. "I'm not sure about other things, but I know that Fang Jiangyi takes every relationship seriously."
As if that wasn't enough to vent her anger, she mumbled, "Anyway, with my current status, it's not difficult for me to find a new partner. Besides Fang Jiangyi, I could have ten, a hundred, a thousand partners. I can find as many as I want!"
I'll piss you off!
She walked out haughtily.
But just a few steps out of the kitchen, before she could fully enjoy her moment of satisfaction, her arm was grabbed. With a swift movement, Lu Qianzhou hoisted her onto his shoulder. The world spun around her, and the hairpin on her head fell to the ground.
"Ah..." She was shocked, her face turning pale with fright. "Lu Qianzhou, what are you doing? Are you crazy!"
He didn't respond to her at all. Instead, he carried her straight towards the bedroom on the second floor.
Yan Xia was extremely frightened. Her stomach hurt from being pressed against his shoulder, but she didn't care about that at all. Watching Lu Qianzhou walking towards the bedroom step by step, she felt extremely scared.
This situation was not good...
"Lu Qianzhou, put me down. Can we talk things out calmly?"
"What I just said was all in anger. It wasn't true..."
She was so uncomfortable that tears were about to fall. Afraid of falling, she tightly grabbed the clothes on his shoulders.
Soon, the bedroom door was kicked open. She was thrown onto the bed, and he turned around to close the door.
Yan Xia took the opportunity to sit up on the bed, but as soon as she got up, she was pushed back down.
He quickly pounced on her, pinning her struggling hands and legs with his own. He lowered his head and blocked her sharp - tongued mouth.
Yan Xia was kissed senseless. His kissing skills were so good that all her meager and pitiful experience was awakened. Soon, she felt her body getting hot, and her consciousness and oxygen were being swept away.
At first, she could struggle a little, but later she was only focused on gasping for breath, and even her struggle gradually stopped.
His hands didn't stop either. He found the hem of her pajamas, and his hot palm moved upwards, covering her soft and delicate skin.
His lips slid down along her jawline, leaving ambiguous marks on her neck.
That hot palm was gradually approaching the softness of her chest. Since she was sleeping at home, she wasn't wearing a bra...
In an instant, her consciousness came back. She suddenly woke up, and the hand trapped in his palm struggled hard.
Her face was so red that it seemed to drip blood. Frightened and scared, she shouted at him, "Lu Qianzhou, don't mess around. All unwilling intimacy is sexual harassment! Let me go. Calm down. Don't do anything stupid..."
She was babbling incoherently and felt like she was about to melt in his palm.
She was on the verge of tears.
"Lu Qianzhou, if you dare to touch me, I'll never forgive you!"
Lu Qianzhou was lying on top of her. He let out an ambiguous chuckle, and his deep voice whispered in her ear, "I'd like to see how you're going to not forgive me."
Aaaaah, she was going crazy!
