Seeing her not speak, Beichen Rui smirked slightly, "What, forgot?"
Ye Xinluo didn’t answer, simply pretending to be mute. Half a minute later, Beichen Rui set the phone aside and lay down next to her.
His right hand slipped under her neck, enveloping her in his embrace, turning her body towards him... Taking advantage of her unresponsiveness, he accurately sealed her lips with his.
Her mind went blank for two seconds... This damn man actually went through with it.
She tried to push him away, but didn’t dare to use too much force... afraid of hurting his injury.
She could only furrow her brows, forced to endure, and after a long time, the man finally released her.
In the darkness, she stared fixedly in one direction with her eyes wide open.
On the other side, Ye Xinluo lay with her eyes open, lost in thought... She had clearly resolved that morning to let herself go just this once.
But, why does his treatment make her feel so uncomfortable... The man in front of her obviously has a fiancée, and he even found reasons back then to force her into marrying him.
She desperately wanted to know what she truly meant to him... She wanted to know if it was just her wishful thinking.
This feeling is really unpleasant, like being treated as someone’s shadow, forever living in the darkness...
Taking several deep breaths, she finally spoke, "Beichen Rui. Can I ask you a question?"
In the darkness, the man softly replied with an "Mm," then fell silent.
Ye Xinluo lightly pressed her lips together and spoke as if making a firm decision, "You... have a wife, right? ... Can you answer me seriously?"
For a moment, the atmosphere was silent... her heart felt like it was pricked by something, a sharp pain, "Beichen Rui... can you answer my question?"
Upon Ye Xinluo bringing up the question a second time, Beichen Rui finally pressed his lips together slightly and only after a long while did he respond, "Yes."
"Don’t bring up this issue now." It seemed like he was evading, or perhaps hiding something. In the next second, she felt his breath approaching, and Ye Xinluo instinctively moved away ... A tingling sensation spread over her neck, as his kiss landed right on it.
He has a wife... so why is he still being so ambiguous with her... doesn’t he know this will hurt two people’s hearts?
For a moment, her heart felt heavy, and she had no intention of continuing the conversation with him, so she gently pushed him, "Get up, I want to sleep."
The man didn’t move... Not wanting to deal with him, she simply closed her eyes to sleep.
After a long standoff, Beichen Rui finally moved, withdrawing his right hand and lying quietly beside her.
Ye Xinluo turned over, facing away from him, her slightly thin body trembling lightly in the darkness, biting her lip hard to prevent any sound from escaping.
...
Ten minutes later, when she finally calmed down, and knowing he was still awake, she suddenly said, "What you’re doing is unfair to her."
Upon hearing this, Beichen Rui remained silent, just listening quietly. Ye Xinluo continued to speak, as if talking to herself, yet also as though addressing him.
"The minimum between two people is mutual respect. If there’s no affection, you shouldn’t stray outside. Not only will your actions hurt your wife’s heart, they will also..."
Also hurt my heart...
She didn’t voice the latter part, for fear that after saying it, she and Beichen Rui would truly mean nothing to each other... Even though they never had anything from the beginning.
Yet, she simply didn’t have the courage...
