Chapter 1  

“Yu Heng! I’ve liked you for more than 20 years. Are you going to trample on my sincerity like this?”

Hai Tang cried out the man’s name in front of her in a heart-wrenching manner. She watched helplessly as the man revealed an expression of extreme disgust and pushed her off the railing with his own hands.

While falling off the outdoor balcony dozens of floors above the ground, she heard Yu Heng’s last words, “Are you worthy of my status?”

“Yu Heng… What right do you have to treat me like this…”

Hai Tang watched as her body fell rapidly and was about to smash into the ground and turn into a pile of meat paste. She was so frightened that she trembled and screamed, “No!”

“Hmm? Are you awake?” A magnetic male voice suddenly sounded above her head.

Hai Tang opened her teary eyes in a daze. She looked at the handsome and vaguely familiar face of the man in front of her unexpectedly and froze.

The man’s dark eyes met hers, and his slightly furrowed brows seemed to hide all kinds of emotions. Hai Tang was in a mess.

Wait a minute! Who was this man? Why did she seem to know him?

Wasn’t she pushed to death by Yu Heng? No, she was dreaming. She never had a conflict with Yu Heng at all. After hearing Yu Heng humiliate her like that last night, she hid in a corner and got drunk. What happened in the end?

Before Hai Tang could figure it out, the man spoke in displeasure, his deep voice carrying a hint of danger. “Calling Yu Heng’s name in your dream… Is Miss Hai really that heartless?”

It was only then that Hai Tang woke up from her hangover. She was lying in the man’s firm arms. Both of them were naked, and one of her legs was intimately placed on the man’s waist. Their private parts were tightly pressed together, and Hai Tang could clearly feel the other party’s burning body temperature.

“Ah!” Hai Tang was so frightened that she immediately pushed the man away. Just as she sat up, she realized that she was about to expose herself. She shrank back into the blanket and wrapped herself tightly, only revealing a pair of frightened and shocked eyes as she looked at the man.

The man’s expression darkened. He propped himself up with his long arms and sat up. The moment the blanket fell, his collarbone and chest were exposed, which were full of hickeys and scratch marks. There were also a few pink bite marks on his chest and Adam’s apple.

Heavens! This was too crazy! Hai Tang’s eyes widened. The man lowered his head and glanced at the traces of sex on his body. He snorted coldly and said, “After tormenting me like this, you’re not going to pretend that you don’t know me, are you?”

Memories came back, and Hai Tang remembered that the man who shared the bed with her was the older son of the neighbor who used to live next to the Hai family’s villa, Gu Yun.

Hai Tang was not particularly familiar with him. She only remembered that they would occasionally cross paths when they were students. After the Gu family’s business improved and they moved abroad, she and Gu Yun had no contact with each other.

And she actually had a one-night stand with Gu Yun after getting drunk, and she even made him look like this!

Just by looking at the large and small marks scattered all over Gu Yun’s body, Hai Tang could imagine how intense and bold the battle in bed between the two of them had been last night.

“G-Gu Yun, I…” Hai Tang had never known that having sex after being drunk would be so exaggerated. She stuttered, unable to speak.

After being stared at silently by Gu Yun for a while, Hai Tang organized her words and tried to explain, “Gu Yun, I was too sad last night because I heard Yu Heng’s words. I wanted to numb myself with alcohol, but I accidentally drank too much. I didn’t expect this to happen. I’m really sorry…”

She could still clearly remember that when she passed by a private room last night, she saw Yu Heng hugging another woman on the sofa and shaking his body. He did not forget to humiliate her in between.

“Hai Tang? She’s just an adopted daughter of the Hai family.”

“I’m just playing with her. How can I be serious with her? Is she worthy of my status?”

After hearing these words, Hai Tang realized that Yu Heng, whom she had grown up with, was a complete scumbag. Her love for more than twenty years was just a joke and humiliation in Yu Heng’s eyes.

Seeing that Gu Yun still did not speak, Hai Tang gritted her teeth and said, “Why don’t I treat you to a meal as an apology… I hope you can pretend that you never saw me.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun’s face darkened completely. The veins on his forehead were bulging. He wished he could grab Hai Tang in front of him, press her under his body, and teach her a good lesson.

She actually dared to mention Yu Heng’s name. Did she like Yu Heng that much?

Moreover, Hai Tang, who was as alluring and sexy as a kitten and had been whining and begging him to satisfy her last night, was actually so cold to him the moment she woke up. She still wanted him to pretend that he had never seen her?

In Hai Tang’s eyes, was he a plaything that could be summoned and shooed away at will?

Gu Yun’s heart was sour. He did not know how to release the anger he was holding in. He wanted to pull back Hai Tang, who was hiding further and further away. However, when he got closer and saw Hai Tang’s tearful face, his heart softened.

When Hai Tang saw Gu Yun approach with a dark face, she thought that he was going to hit her and was so frightened that she closed her eyes. The next moment, she realized that Gu Yun was gently wiping away the tears on her face.

“Miss Hai begged me six times last night, and you’re just going to let me go after a meal?” Gu Yun wiped away the tears on Hai Tang’s face because of Yu Heng and asked with a smile.

Gu Yun’s explicit words made Hai Tang blush. Moreover, Gu Yun wasn’t wearing any clothes. When he moved, Hai Tang could almost see his huge crotch. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t know where to put her eyes.

Swallowing, Hai Tang said, “Then… Three meals?”

“Heh, do you think I’m lacking your meals?”Gu Yun sneered.

“Uh…”

Hai Tang racked her brains to think of a way to make it up to him. At this moment, the phone she had placed by the bedside lit up. Hai Tang took a look and saw that it was a call from the Hai family’s nanny. When she picked it up, her expression changed. “What is it? Hai Yuan hit Yu Heng? And even went to the police station?”

Although she was the adopted daughter of the Hai family, she had always treated the biological son of the Hai family as her own younger brother. Even if she had given up on Yu Heng, she had no choice but to take care of Hai Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Hai Tang quickly got out of bed, wanting to get dressed and rush to the police station to confirm Hai Yuan’s situation.

After hanging up, she looked at her phone again. There were five or six missed calls from Hai Yuan, and the nanny had also called her several times. Hai Tang’s phone was on silent mode, and she did not notice anything. This made Hai Tang feel even more regretful.

However, in Gu Yun’s eyes, Hai Tang’s hurried appearance had changed.
