The dim room, the sweet scent, the heavy breathing, the cold and masculine aura — all these mixed together, shocking Su Ruan's gradually awakening senses.
She felt like a lone boat, repeatedly lifted and thrown toward the endless sky by the man on top of her, then ruthlessly dragged back down and crushed into dust, until her entire body shivered and she could not repress her cries.
Suddenly, with a bang, the closed door was kicked open, blinding light streamed in from the doorway, casting a cold, stern figure.
Su Ruan’s voice instantly stuck in her throat. She squinted against the bright light, finally able to discern the figure standing at the door.
Kang Ji Chen, why was he standing at the door? Then who was the man on her?
Su Ruan’s mind blanked. She turned her head to get a clearer look, but a blanket was thrown over her head, completely enveloping her. Footsteps echoed around the room.
A sharp voice sliced through the eerily quiet room, "Ah, sister, why are you in bed with Brother Ji Sen?”
What? Su Ruan violently pulled the blanket off her head and looked towards the side of the bed. Her gaze fell upon the two figures standing there.
Kang Ji Sen with only pants on, showcasing his muscular upper-body, Kang Ji Chen in a crisp white suit — the two men were in a tense standoff. What the hell was going on?
Su Ruan shook her head. The last memory in her heavy mind was that of her walking into Kang Ji Chen's room carrying two cups of coffee. Today was the centennial celebration banquet of Kang Corporation, and also the day of her engagement to Kang Ji Chen. He had been so busy and tired, so she made him some coffee to accompany him.
The moment Su Ruan entered his room, she could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom. She thought that Kang Ji Chen was taking a shower. She drank a cup while waiting for him and then she started feeling unusually hot, her consciousness blurred and she opened the bathroom door.
Su Ruan's face instantly turned pale. She had personally brewed the coffee. She had left it unattended for less than a minute when she stepped away to answer a phone call. Was there something added to her coffee? Who could it have been?
She tried to sit up but dizziness overcame her, and Su Ruan collapsed back onto the bed.
"Sister, what's the matter? You need to explain to Brother Chen quickly. They're about to start fighting."
Su Nuan, dressed in a strapless white evening gown, looked worried, her beautifully delineated face communicating her concern. She forcefully pulled at the blanket covering Su Ruan, revealing Su Ruan's scandalously bare shoulder peppered with marks, and the as yet un-dried blood stain on the bed sheet, signaling her loss of innocence.
A bony and large hand suddenly grasped Su Nuan's wrist and flung her away. A large figure, god-like in stature, protected Su Ruan behind him instantly.
"Get out."
The sound of his commanding voice, with the undertone of dominating authority, coupled with the ice-cold, handsome face of Kang Ji Sen, froze the room's atmosphere solid. Without giving Su Nuan a single glance, he casually wiped his hand, which had just grabbed Su Nuan, with a tissue. Afterward, he discarded the tissue on the ground which upset Su Nuan, her small face flushed with embarrassment instantly.
Su Ruan frantically dressed, grasping onto the blanket with force to cover her body. Her knuckles turned pale out of fear. She had always been terrified of this man, Kang Ji Sen; how did all of this happen? Her first time was meant for her fiancé, Kang Ji Chen.
"Chen Brother, I’m scared." Su Nuan threw herself into the arms of Kang Ji Chen, shivering, yet the corners of her lips curled up into a little smirk.
Kang Ji Chen, eyes bloodshot, glanced at the man who stood between him and Su Ruan, and asked painfully through clenched teeth.
"Brother, don't you think you owe me an explanation? What are you doing in my room, with my fiancée… Su Ruan, is this your idea of an engagement gift for me?" With the last sentence, Kang Ji Chen's voice cracked from his violent shouting.
