Chapter 2 Fake Drama Turns Into Reality

• Stripping his shirt off, Tang Xuchun pushed him onto the bed. She proceeded to join him and took a series of explicit wefies on her phone.
• After the photo session, Tang Xuchun sat up to check the photos.
• We look like a couple. That’s good enough to fool them.
• “Here. This should be the cherry on top.” Tang Xuchun deftly pulled the duvet up over He Yanfeng’s waist to cover his pants. She then captured a few sexy photos of his chiseled abs with her phone.
• “Done!” She got off the bed and scrolled through the photos with satisfaction, completely oblivious to He Yanfeng’s eager and predatory gaze as he lounged idly on the bed.
• He then sat up to better scrutinize this bold and reckless woman with his hypnotic eyes. “That’s it? Doesn’t seem convincing to me.”
• Tang Xuchun paused. He read my mind.
• “True...”
• “Should we kick it up a notch and do something even more exciting?”
• Tang Xuchun was confused as she turned to him. Staring at his enchanting face, she asked curiously, “What do you have in mind?”
• He Yanfeng’s pupils dilated as he felt a sudden rage, which only lasted momentarily before his pensive look took over again.
• He stood up and inched closer to Tang Xuchun. Then, he snatched her phone away.
• “I’d suggest we turn this fake show into reality to make this more authentic.” His thin and sexy lips curled.
• Turn this into reality?
• “Oh, no no no-” Tang Xuchun waved her hands in refusal and backed away in agitation.
• He Yanfeng narrowed his eyes. He observed how Tang Xuchun had thrown herself at him earlier, but only to act all reserved now.
• I see she’s playing hard to get... but I must say, it’s working on me.
• A dangerous glint flashed across He Yanfeng’s eyes. His gaze was so penetrative that Tang Xuchun felt it could see through her clothes right then and there. She subconsciously placed her hands over her chest.
• He Yanfeng had a very tall and broad frame. Towering over her, he blocked the light from the ceiling, and the resulting shadows turned his entire silhouette into a dark and mysterious figure. His eyes were as deep as the ocean, or more accurately, they were two black holes that could suck her into a dangerous abyss.
• He was willing to play along with me a second ago. How did he turn so dangerous all of a sudden?
• I’m paying him to be my puppet, so why am I at his mercy now?
• What about the saying that the customer is always right? When he looks at me this way, he feels so menacing...
• He Yanfeng charged toward Tang Xuchun, pulled her into his arms, then swiftly turned around to pin her against the wall.
• She felt trapped by his icy yet dominating presence.
• He Yanfeng’s gaze turned desirous as if he was teasing his prey before the kill.
• “You’ve already undressed me and laid in bed with me. So why are you refusing the next step now?”
• He glanced at her fiendishly. Next, he grabbed Tang Xuchun by the arm and dragged her to the large windows, saying, “You’ll enjoy the view here, as well as the thrill you’re looking for.”
• He proceeded to slide his hand down and squeeze her wrist. Tang Xuchun’s body shook as an electric current ran through her.
• “Stop! No, no...” Tang Xuchun struggled hard to escape.
• Her delicate face crumpled in terror as she resisted his advances, and panic soon set in when she found herself unable to break free of his grip. Mustering up her courage, she stammered, “Stop it or... I’m not going to pay you! I’ll also sue you... for sexual harassment!”
• While delivering her threat, Tang Xuchun was almost distracted by He Yanfeng’s ridiculously handsome face.
• He Yanfeng narrowed his eyes and glared at the fearful woman. “You were the one who barged into my room, took my clothes off, and got into my bed. Who’s suing who?”
• As he spoke, he inched even closer to her, staring at her with his eyes as dark as the night sky.
• “I can sue you for trespassing, seduction, and bodily harm for forcing yourself on me!” He Yanfeng’s lips curled up deviously.
• Tang Xuchun was dumbfounded.
• What the heck? With your size, you can easily crush me if you want to. How could I ever force myself on you?
• You think you can get away with things just because you’re attractive?
• Tang Xuchun found the entire situation ridiculous. Just as she was about to let out a scoff, He Yanfeng quickly covered her parted lips with his. He was keen to get a taste of her sweetness.
• “Mm...” Every fiber of Tang Xuchun’s being was washed over by a strangely intoxicating sensation.
• My first kiss...
• Compared to the cold, uninspiring glass behind her, his body was a flaming and sensuous wall of flesh.
• The next day, the glaring sunlight woke Tang Xuchun up.
• She opened her heavy eyes slowly. That was when she started feeling aches all over her body. Remembering what had happened the night before, Tang Xuchun immediately sat up with a whoosh.
• Her eyes wandered from the huge windows to her own naked body underneath the duvet.
• Tang Xuchun’s heart skipped a beat when she spotted He Yanfeng fast asleep beside her.
• Last night...
• The thought of He Yanfeng having his way with her made Tang Xuchun’s face burn. Devoured by remorse, her brilliant eyes turned cloudy with anger.
• She grabbed the pillow behind her. I shall murder him in his sleep!
• However, she quickly changed her mind as she feared what would happen if he woke up.
• Ugh, what’s done is done. Lesson learned.
• Tang Xuchun slowly got down from the bed and picked up her purse gingerly. Suddenly, the alarm on her phone went off, almost sending her into a heart attack. She swiftly switched it into silent mode.
• Phew. Thank god it didn’t wake that b*stard up.
• Tang Xuchun gathered her clothes and put them on before creeping out quietly. After she left the room, she made a sprint down the corridor. She was determined to take her grandmother away with her before her family found her.
• Tang Xuchun was so focused on escaping that she did not notice the only banknote in her purse had fallen out just as she took out her phone.
• When Tang Xuchun arrived at the hospital, she was notified that her grandmother had already been discharged from her ward and brought home by her family.
• I’m too late!
• Shaking with rage, Tang Xuchun called Tang Jingjing.
• As soon as the call connected, Tang Jingjing’s smug voice came from over the line. “Oh, you finally called. If you don’t want anything bad to happen to your grandmother, come home and go through with the ceremony. Otherwise, your grandmother may no longer be alive soon!” she threatened.
• Half an hour later.
• He Yanfeng’s long eyelashes fluttered as he opened his mesmerizing eyes. He shot a sharp, penetrating look to the other side of the bed, only to realize it was already vacant.
• Her absence surprised He Yanfeng - he had always been a light sleeper and would usually notice movements in the room.
• He Yanfeng brushed through his short messy hair and propped himself up with his arm. The duvet slipped off, revealing a hard-to-miss bite mark on his alluring, sun-kissed skin.
• He pulled the entire duvet off the bed and immediately noticed some bloodstains on the pristine white sheets.
• Glancing away quickly, he got off the bed and set his bare feet on the carpet.
• Just as his feet touched the carpet, a green object nearby caught his attention.
• That’s...
• A banknote!
• With his long fingers, He Yanfeng picked up the banknote and squinted at it.
• Fifty! We did it five times, meaning each time is worth only ten. What?
