CHAPTER 2

Lin Ning opened her eyes with heavy eyelids. She couldn't help but raise her arms to block the glare for a moment before slowly moving them away. There was an unfamiliar ceiling above her head, and the room was filled with an unfamiliar scent.

Lin Ning's brain froze for a moment. She moved slightly, and her lower body felt as though it had been run over by a car.

She was stunned as the scenes from yesterday flashed through her mind. Her father gave her alcohol, pushed her into the arms of an unfamiliar man, and then she ran out, and then … and then there was the messy entanglement. The man's chest was abnormally hot.

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom, and Lin Ning snapped out of her shock.

She quickly turned her body to look at the bathroom. Indeed, through the polished glass door, she could faintly see a slender figure.

That man … was actually still here.

Lin Ning's heart was in a mess. She quickly lifted the blanket and gritted her teeth to get out of bed. When she saw the clothes all over the floor, she felt vexed again. Ignoring the pain, she picked up the clothes one by one and gritted her teeth to put them on.

With a bang, the bathroom door opened, and the man walked out covered in steam.

Lin Ning's hand froze, and she immediately pulled the blanket over herself.

"You're awake. Do you want to take a shower?" The man asked in a deep voice.

His voice was very pleasant, slightly deep, and magnetic. It was like the sound of a cello that plucked at one's heartstrings.

However, Lin Ning did not dare to turn back to look at him. With her back facing him, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

What should she do? What should she do? She did not know who this man was. In that situation yesterday … other than those messy images, she could not even remember what the man looked like.

She did not dare to turn back, and the man walked in front of her. His tall and slender body was wrapped in a white bathrobe that was loosely tied at his waist, revealing his strong pectoral muscles. It was very tempting.

He sat on the sofa opposite Lin Ning, crossed his legs elegantly, and placed his arms on both sides of the sofa. He looked at her with his dark eyes, and there was no emotion on his face. However, he said indifferently, "Let's talk!"

"Talk … about what?" Lin Ning asked guiltily.

Although she was the one who was taken advantage of, it was not that she did not remember that she was the one who pestered this man yesterday.

Sneaking a glance at the man, Lin Ning felt even more guilty.

This man was really good-looking. His facial features were peerlessly handsome, and his face was as clear as a sculpture. His eyes under his sword-like eyebrows were deep and sharp. With her two years of work experience, she could tell at a glance that this man was not an ordinary person.

As for what happened yesterday … no matter how she looked at it, it seemed like she had taken advantage of him.

Otherwise, this man would not have stayed behind. After being treated as a free antidote, he naturally had to stay behind to ask for an explanation.

He just didn't know how he was going to settle the score with him.

"Is this your first time?" the man asked slowly.

Even though he had only said one sentence, and there was no special expression on his face, Lin An felt her mouth go dry, as if there was an invisible pressure pressing down on her.

This was his aura. This man's aura was very strong, so strong that she just wanted to escape.

Her intuition told her that she could not afford to offend such a person.

"About what happened last night … I'm sorry. Seeing that you did not suffer any losses … let's just pretend that nothing happened!" Lin Ning said with a trembling voice.

After she finished speaking, she felt the man's cold gaze sweep across her body, causing her to feel a chill run down her spine.

However, the man was indeed unhappy. He stared at her coldly and his lips were tightly pursed. One look and she could tell that he was angry, and his entire body was filled with coldness.

Lin Ning pursed her lips, and she couldn't help clenching her fists under the blanket. The man's eyes were very cold. Although she did not look him in the eyes, she could still feel his gaze. He had been looking at her the whole time, but he did not say anything. The air seemed to have frozen, and it was suffocating.

Fortunately, in this suffocating feeling, there was suddenly a discordant sound in the room, breaking the deadlock.

It was the sound of a phone.

However, she could tell that it was not her. It was monotonous and there was nothing new.

Sure enough, the man stood up and walked to the bed. Lin Ning was so scared that she lowered her head even more. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the man pick up something and leave.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be right back," the man said in a low voice.

After the call, he began to take off his bathrobe and put on his clothes.

Lin Ning inadvertently raised her head, and from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at his lean body. She couldn't help being dazed. This man's body was too good. There was no fat on his body, but he was not thin. He was definitely the type who looked thin when wearing clothes, but fat when taking off clothes.

"Do you like it?" The man suddenly stopped and looked at her with a faint smile.

Lin Ning came back to her senses and her face immediately turned red. She lowered her head in shame and said, "I … I'm sorry."

"My name is Qin Chengyan. Don't worry, I'll be responsible for you."

"Re … take responsibility?" Lin Ning was taken aback. She subconsciously raised her head to look at him.

Qin Chengyan looked at her dazed expression and found it funny. Was it a reaction from being overjoyed?

However, there was still no emotion on his face. He said lightly, "I have something to do now. I have to leave immediately. You can continue to rest here for as long as you like. "

"I … I don't need you to be responsible." Lin Ning finally reacted and shook her head.

What happened yesterday was an accident. If she hadn't drunk that glass of wine, it wouldn't have happened. She didn't even know this man. She didn't even know what his name was. How could she let him be responsible?

She couldn't wait to go out and forget about it. She didn't want to have anything to do with this person anymore.

Qin Chengyan looked at her coldly as if he didn't expect her to say that he didn't need to be responsible.

Lin Ning turned her head away awkwardly and tried not to meet his eyes. She said with a bitter smile, "Yesterday was an accident. I was schemed against. That's why this happened. However, it's not your fault. We're both adults, so let's just leave it at that! I don't need you to be responsible. You don't have to feel any psychological burden. "

"But if you've been on my bed, then you're mine."

Lin Ning looked at him in shock. What kind of logic was this?

What did he mean by being on my bed? She was mine. They didn't even know each other, so how did she become his? According to him, did she still have to be responsible for him? This was clearly taking advantage of her and still acting innocent.

Qin Chengyan's phone rang again. He frowned and hung up the phone. He looked at her and said impatiently, "I don't have time to talk to you in detail. Tell me your name. I'll come find you when I'm done."
