Chapter 39
“Enough.”
The sound that escaped her swollen and increasingly attractive lips was, no doubt, both feeble and dangerous.
But this was a school, and they were in an open gallery, and although pedestrians were usually rare and almost uninvited here, it was always immoral to look like this in any public place.
Especially since this was the school where Che Che was at.
Wen Ning did not want to continue to spoil him no matter what.
However, if Zhou Yinchu didn’t know how to pause and take a break, then there was a high probability that every passerby would see them kissing “passionately” afterward…
If I remember correctly, the white Aristotelian-era ancient Greek promenade is a must-see on today’s garden tour route.
By the majestic Roman columns, in a glorification of reason, they were not lovers who challenged taboos in the pursuit of true love, and then broke the rules of society by breaking away from the world.
On the contrary, they are lovers who have been caught up in the same desire. On the contrary, they have been caught in the same lust, and they have been at loggerheads, rebuking each other, blaming each other.
Now, they must end this ridiculous behavior.
Wen Ning pushed him away with one hand, but she didn’t know what she was touching, and felt that it was harder than every muscle on Zhou Yinchu’s body.
By the time she really reacted, it was too late to regret.
“Wen Ning, I wasn’t teasing you just now.”
And never wanting to intentionally fake innocence in front of Zhou Yinchu, after all, not being able to abide by the rules and etiquette and breaking the world has been done enough, but Wen Ning Fang really didn’t mean to do it-
She just simply wanted to push him away.
Pushing away from her the man who was hogging her breath, making her mind equally unclear.
Zhou Yinchu seemed to have found a reasonable opportunity to break through:
“Wen Ning, it was you who provoked me.”
The woman ran away.
Wen Ning realized that Zhou Yinchu was adjusting his embrace, and as soon as there was a sign of loosening, she unceremoniously broke away.
She was the one who ignited the excitement that shouldn’t have existed during the day.
But so what, she would have to be crazy to continue to make out with him shamelessly on someone else’s campus. But the next second, the woman had no way out, the man’s tall figure looming behind her like a shadow.
“You owe me so much, it’s almost time for you to pay.” Zhou Yinchu exposed the face of a capitalist.
“I’m going to end the deal with you.”
Wen Ning would rather have to be stuck with debt for the rest of her life than fall into the moral abyss at any time, she took a deep breath and told him, “If you really still want to rehash old scores over what happened before, I can pay you back.”
Zhou Yinchu let out a low curse, “You can indeed.”
Thinking about all the things she has come to today, it seems like she has never properly recognized her beauty, to know that there is indeed nothing that this woman in front of her cannot do.
If only she indulged her bottom line a little, and ceased to hold herself to so high a moral standard–
Perhaps an endless stream of attentive men would willingly pay her bill for a share.
He didn’t want to believe that she would do that until he heard her unceremoniously bring up the “100,000 dollars” and start talking about it.
The man’s mood had been at rock bottom for the past few days, until he realized that he could have fallen off a cliff, “Originally, I’d already forgotten almost all of those things, but it’s fortunate that you’ve come to remind me.”
“Zhou Yinchu, can you not come to disturb me, I was only taking a little bit of money back then, what do you have to be sad about,” Wen Ning used the paper towel prepared for children to keep wiping the places he had nibbled, as if she wanted to erase everything that had happened between them so easily, “Those money for you, for your family. Isn’t it just a drop in the bucket?”
“Wen Ning, can you have some brains?”
Zhou Yinchu’s speech was particularly cold and hard, and since it was mentioned, he didn’t seem to mind taking it out to bash her, “One hundred thousand dollars only, rat’s eye–”
The voice was low and dark.
It was like he was really accusing her of stupidity, scolding her for her ignorance, yet revealing a hint of unspeakable and vague regret for the past.
The way he cursed also looked like a scene from a dirty talk on a movie set, and in the nick of time, it was hard for Wen Ning not to have such unrealistic associations.
This style of speech, in any other man, can not be as Zhou Yinchu so smooth and flowing.
He kindly said, “However, I don’t intend to stay here either, I don’t have the bad habit of giving it to others to watch.”
Zhou Yinchu talked about how noble he was, as if he was such an honorable and kind-hearted man, but only Wen Ning had understood the truth in depth, and this was just an appearance that he had created with great care.
As if all the madness of the party had never happened.
But those jealousy, rooted in his heart, there is no cure. As Wenning had predicted, the out-of-control man appeared to have regained his senses, considering her surroundings and her reputation, which she cared about the most – and then he moved in an instant, not to be denied.
But the action was urgent and could not be refused.
He tugged at her and heaved the car door right shut.
Neither of them was in a good mood, as if they were at their own low points, but the woman who would have preferred to leave was forced to stay and have to deal with his forceful predatory behavior.
Wen Ning did not understand why Zhou Yinchu had become dormant today.
Perhaps, what she thought she was pushing away, in the bottom of his eyes, all became a complete irritation.
They were at the hotel, trying to omit those steps of détente that had been taken, and hastily went straight to the point, with the help of a hearty quickie, to resolve the resentment he had felt for so many days. Wenning felt like a wind-dried tropical fish from time to time.
Accidentally ran onto the shore.
Being picked up by this man, Zhou Yinchu, and then resisting death by the beach.
But she had clearly been informed of the images of what happened next, and if she could, she was not averse to ending the sinful relationship between them as quickly as possible in this way.
But Cho Inchu suddenly paused.
Raising his eyes, outside the window of this suite at the Ritz-Carlton was the usual view of the river city.
The first time we met again, she stood here timidly, out of place, once again intruded into his world, and then she came here again, with the fluke of “not having to pay back the money”.
After that, it could have been more than that.
This time, his impatient and almost reckless treatment made her suddenly realize that before that, it must have been Zhou Yinchu who had slowed down his movements and considered her feelings.
But today was not the same.
Wen Ning knew that her resistance, her resistance, her proximity to other men had made Zhou Yinchu feel smothered, not deliberately restrained, as if he had let go of his ego, or perhaps this was originally a man’s nature, only that it had never been exposed.
Demanding and unrestrained.
From her lips to her collarbone, every single one of his punishing kisses fell.
But when that was really about to happen, when they were about to take a step closer, Zhou Yinchu stalled without warning.
“Wen Ning, I’m not that despicable.”
Although Zhou Yinchu thought that he had never taken the matter of the “100,000 dollars” to heart, when she actually mentioned this past, he felt as if his body was being torn apart- only for her to feel the same pain.
Only by making her feel the same pain could he easily forgive her.
He also thought for a while that he would acquiesce and condone everything to continue progressing according to his will.
But according to her reaction, he had never seen her like this before. Wenning did not continue to take out her full armor to challenge him and defy him, but merely treated him numbly.
He suddenly realized that just as Wen Ning had said, he was indeed no different from the men on the market, relying on nothing more than physical . Physical contact in an attempt to occupy his heart.
He laughed at her stupidity, yet he couldn’t wait to take out his entire body to seduce this woman. To lure this woman.
It was himself who was the fool.
“If doing this will balance your heart,” the woman tugged at her pretty but melancholy brow, “or make you feel like the money you spent before was worth it, then why don’t you simply continue.”
“I won’t allow you to say that about yourself.”
Subtext, obvious, Wenning took this carte blanche as a money . . a sex deal.
He could accept her accusatory tirades against himself, but he could not accept her self-depreciation.
Chagrined, Zhou Yinchu flung away his own tie, but fearing that the cold, hard platinum tie clip would hurt her soft skin, he threw it one-handed toward the far side of the bed.
“Still going on?”
Wen Ning lay on the bed, for a long time to see the man did not move further, he undressed as if just to take off and then show his body, she raised her eyes to look, the lines of the man’s muscles are more taut than ever, “If not, I’m going to go and pick up Chuchu to go home.”
Why would Wen Ning ever want to define their respective roles with such words, but wasn’t that what was agreed upon in a relationship dominated by a man?
Could it be that because of a few days of lingering in the hotel in Guangzhou, it was different?
She wasn’t that naive.
“I’ve already sent Little Li to pick him up,” Zhou Yinchu knew to himself that his tone wasn’t too good, “so you don’t have to worry about Li Che’s safety.”
He didn’t say it explicitly, he wanted her to care about them per se.
“But your car ……”
For the woman’s head-to-toe mistrust, for their relationship not to be publicized, Zhou Yinchu as a man clearly felt that it was hurtful to his ego.
But he had thoughtfully made arrangements earlier, “I had Xiao Li change the Volkswagen to go over.”
The woman in front of her was too strange, obviously a luxury car of great value would only make ordinary people feel that they got vanity and enjoyment, but she didn’t want to get involved with his people, his car, for half a penny.
“Thanks.”
She said respectfully.
The white sheets, however, became dazzled and creased from her clenched hands.
Hiding from what.
Why hide every time.
“Is it something unseemly to be with me?”
“Fear of you.”
“Afraid of what, afraid that I’ll have fun with you and abandon you?” Zhou Yinchu profoundly understand a truth, some things can not be said to forget can not be left behind, “100,000 dollars” shadow is not dissipated, “the person who threw away that relationship, was never me, is you.”
“It’s me, for such a selfish woman who only thinks about her own financial interests, why should Mr. Zhou not be able to let go?”
Hurtful words that they habitually all said.
Even if the wounds scarred, it never meant that the hurt that had been there didn’t exist.
His face couldn’t have been more stoic with that deadening press on the bed surface on either side of her, the curtains drawn tightly shut, the light completely blocked –
He did nothing but kiss the tear on her cheek with as much urgency as a teenager.
The tear was not cheap, but precious.
