Chapter 68: Hook up, take responsibility for me
Lian Li’s attitude was sincere as she offered a genuine suggestion: “You also had a great time last night, why don’t we part on good terms?”
It was understandable that she was drunk and hooked up last night, but as for Jin Shi Yue, he definitely wasn’t completely drunk; a completely drunk man wouldn’t be able to get hard.
Men are basically all like this, they don’t refuse a casual romantic encounter that’s delivered to their doorstep.
Jin Shi Yue has so many scandalous affairs, the number of people who have been in his bed is probably countless, she was just one passerby among them, and she didn’t ask for anything, so he had no reason to disagree.
Lian Li’s index finger traced the bracelet on her wrist, she didn’t make eye contact with Jin Shi Yue, her gaze fell on his hand casually resting on the table, his well-defined, slender fingers, the winding blue veins exuding a wild beauty.
She suddenly remembered the intense entanglement from last night.
Lian Li’s cheeks flushed, and she hastily averted her gaze, only to catch sight of the irregularly shaped scratches on his strong arms.
She had made them all.
Lian Li’s gaze moved down, past his sharp, long legs—which had intertwined with hers last night, his solid body hiding immeasurable explosive power.
Every part of him seemed to exude an extremely dangerous sense of strength.
Lian Li realized that there was nowhere on Jin Shi Yue she could look, but when talking to him, her gaze couldn’t stray too far. She quickly scanned around, her eyes finally landing on the blue-patterned ceramic vase on the table.
Jin Shi Yue leaned back against the headboard, his eyelids lifting slightly, looking at Lian Li, who was small but could completely contain him.
“You’re full from the bed, but you don’t acknowledge me off it,” his voice was cool, with a light, meaningful chuckle, “How interesting, treating me like your little toy?”
A little toy, but you’re not little at all.
“…No,” Lian Li’s fingertips fiddled with the cherry-red jade on her wrist, her voice slightly hoarse, “Who would dare treat you like a little toy.”
“Then what do you take me for, a one-night stand?”
Jin Shi Yue walked over with a lazy, unhurried stride, and Lian Li quickly retreated, creating distance between them.
Jin Shi Yue lounged with his legs crossed, leaning back on the sofa, his well-built body’s muscle lines smooth, every movement, every breath exuding languor and desire.
Like an incredibly powerful beast.
And the king of this beast, crouched above her, fiercely devouring the prey beneath him, feasting.
Shattered, sweet.
Lian Li swallowed, her face red as she looked away.
She didn’t remember what she should, but clearly remembered what she shouldn’t.
“Weren’t you also having a great time?” Lian Li’s clear, dark eyes darted left and right, trying to convince him, “We’re both adults, a one-night stand is nothing.”
“If I wasn’t having a great time, we couldn’t part.”
Jin Shi Yue watched her at his leisure, a lazy smile curving his lips, “Take responsibility for me, Lian Li.”
Upon hearing this, Lian Li looked up at him in surprise, her gaze briefly meeting his before she lowered her long, thick eyelashes.
The Eldest Young Master was always teasing and playing with her.
A clear hierarchical difference in status.
Lian Li knew her own identity; she was merely the daughter of a driver, protected by the favor of the Jin Family. Because her father died in the line of duty, Jin Yan Ting took care of and protected her.
Lian Li had understood from the beginning. Once she was an adult and graduated, she would leave Jin Yan Ting and live independently. However, later, as she interacted with Jin Yan Ting, feelings gradually developed. His care and actions made her think he also liked her.
Liking might not solve any problems, but he liked her, and she liked him. She thought that no matter what, they wouldn’t give up on this relationship.
Therefore, she chose to persevere and wait patiently.
With feelings, even the biggest obstacles are small setbacks; without feelings, even the smallest problems are insurmountable.
Nine years ago, Lian Li was like a pitiful, wet kitten, picked up by the kind Jin Yan Ting.
Nine years later, Lian Li didn’t consider herself pitiful, nor did she need to stay by the side of the powerful.
Not intending to take responsibility was a confirmed fact.
She was just someone whose willpower was weak when drunk; sleeping with someone in a drunken haze meant nothing.
Her first kiss, her first night… many firsts, Lian Li never attached any meaning to them. If it was voluntary and enjoyed, that was enough.
Lian Li pondered in silence. A long arm suddenly stretched out, a broad palm grasping her fair wrist, and pulling her over.
Jin Shi Yue hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. Lian Li let out a soft cry, “What are you doing.”
She sat in his embrace, her back pressed against his warm chest without any gap. Lian Li was unaccustomed to such intimate contact and tried to break free.
Jin Shi Yue’s strong, firm arms circled her waist, pulling her back into his embrace irresistibly.
“Not taking responsibility?” His hot breath sprinkled on her ear.
“Let go of me.” Lian Li flinched, dodging Jin Shi Yue’s breath. His strength was immense, holding her tightly, she couldn’t struggle at all.
“In my twenty-seven years of life, I’ve never met someone as irresponsible as you,” Jin Shi Yue said leisurely, holding her, “Your name is Lian Li, why not change it to Lian Irresponsible.”
As if he took responsibility for every woman he slept with.
“It wasn’t me who forced you last night,” Lian Li’s heart pounded fiercely in her chest, she stated as calmly as possible, “It was something we both wanted, so it’s not about responsibility.”
“Junior Sister, you’ve got quite a sharp tongue,” Jin Shi Yue’s lips curved into a careless smile, his tone casual, “You stayed up late at night, came to my room when I was drunk and not clear-headed, seduced me, and tried to assault me, these are all established facts.”
He was distorting right and wrong with righteous indignation.
Lian Li was simply incredulous, “You kissed me first!”
“Feel like you lost out?” Jin Shi Yue’s well-defined fingers pinched her chin, turning her face towards him, and said calmly, “I’ll let you kiss me back.”
“…” What was this even about.
“I’m a traditional man,” he suddenly said.
Lian Li’s heart pounded like a drum, and she blinked blankly, “?”
“My precious first time was supposed to be saved for my wedding night, but you took it,” Jin Shi Yue’s arm loosely held her waist, his dark eyes glancing at her indifferently, “You can either castrate yourself or take responsibility for me, choose one.”
What the heck was “castrate yourself.”
Wait.
First time? Was this the Eldest Young Master’s first time, a virgin before last night?
Lian Li suspiciously examined Jin Shi Yue’s expression. The man had high brow bones, narrow and sharp phoenix eyes, with the corners slightly upturned. His three-dimensional bone structure was angular and sharp, exuding an extremely aggressive handsomeness.
His indifferent and arrogant posture was extremely casual, not heartfelt at all.
The fatigue and soreness spreading through her body brought Lian Li back to her senses. She didn’t believe his nonsense.
The Eldest Young Master was always unruly; he wouldn’t be a man who upheld chastity.
Moreover, he was clearly very skilled last night and even knew how to consider her feelings.
Although she likely ended the entanglement by passing out, the overall experience was still good.
Recalling this, Lian Li turned around in Jin Shi Yue’s arms. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and her almond-shaped eyes stared at him without blinking.
“I have no intention of dating.”
He clearly knew she liked Jin Yan Ting, yet he still asked her to take responsibility.
He was obviously playing with her.
