Chapter 24

While she was dejected and alone, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. Frightened, she stiffly turned as her blood turned ice-cold.

When Zhong Zhen Dong entered the house, he saw Tang Xin Lian’s pale complexion as she blankly stared at him.

He immediately stepped forward, and very naturally took her into his arms. At the same time, he lifted her chin so he could carefully examine her face.

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable or sick?”

“You… How come you’re back? Weren’t you supposed to be back next Monday?” She asked dazedly, still surprised, but also somewhat happy to see him. It felt different being in his embrace. In the past, she would awkwardly want to avoid it, but now, she took the initiative to hug him.

This was the first time he saw an “urgently looking forward to” expression on her face, causing his eyes to s.h.i.+ne. So it turned out that the little white rabbit will miss him when he was gone. It seems like he had weight in her heart. This expression of yearning was so cute!

“I came back ahead of schedule because I wanted to come back earlier to see you.”

“Me too, I also missed you.” Tang Xin Lian couldn’t help being extremely moved. When she was scared out of her wits, big brother Zhong returned, making her feel she had someone to depend on. The reason she said such sentimental words, was because it was in the heat of the moment.

She really did miss him, but this longing had nothing to do with love. She purely wanted a man beside her, so even if Yuan Jun Hao found her, at least he’d take caution of the him.

Zhong Zhen Dong’s burning gaze fixated on her. Those pair of watery, big eyes, matched with a pitiful and innocent expression…

She said she missed him.

Unhesitatingly, he seized her lips, forcing a kiss on her captivating and glistening red lips.

This kiss came fast and hard, making her unable to respond. To add to that, big brother Zhong sometimes jokingly kissed her, so her reaction was even slower. It was only until his tongue invaded, swirling around her soft and delicate tongue, harshly indulging without a care, did she suddenly become aware that this kiss was different from previous ones.

When he kissed her in the past, he would always stop at a certain point. His tongue wouldn’t come in, so why…

She began to struggle, staring at him with big eyes full of alarm, but he didn’t give her the opportunity to retreat. With one hand around her waist and the other supporting the back of her head, he made the kiss more intense.

Her taste was as expected, wonderful. Experiencing it at last, he couldn’t bear to stop. With his skillful techniques, his raging tongue once again wreaked havoc in her mouth, trying to kiss her until she felt disordered. How great would it be if he could make this situation get out of hand?

He pushed her onto the sofa, and his hand expertly went into her clothes in hopes of taking off her undergarments.

Once she discovered his plan, Tang Xin Lian became panicked, and did everything she could to push him off. Getting off the sofa, she anxiously hid behind it, trying to create some distance between them.

“You, what are you doing?!” Angry and tense, her voice was somewhat husky. Hastily fixing her clothes, her hand pressed on her chest because her bra had come undone.

“What am I doing? Of course I’m kissing you.” He looked at ease as he answered, not feeling like he did anything wrong. Wis.h.i.+ng he could continue, he licked his lips as he pondered about the delicious taste from just a moment ago.

Tang Xin Lian exasperatedly stamped her feet. “You’ve gone too far! Normally I wouldn’t bicker with you, but this time, your joke is too much. How could you do this to your boyfriend?”

Zhong Zhen Dong thought this was laughable. He already kissed her, but even now, she still hasn’t discovered his s.e.xual orientation. Wholeheartedly only considering other people’s needs, the little white rabbit was so adorable and pure!

“Actually, he isn’t my boyfriend.”

“Huh?” She looked surprised, but then suspiciously asked, “You broke up?”

“The truth is, I like women.” This should be clear enough.

Tang Xin Lian still remained stunned. Not grasping his meaning, she slowly said, “What do you mean?”

Seeing her silly expression, Zhong Zhen Dong choked back his laughter and very patiently explained to her.

“It means, I’m not gay.”

The little white rabbit’s eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. Her previous stupid and bewildered expression turned into one of shock.

Very good, she finally understood.

Tang Xin Lian repeatedly took a step back, face full of terror as she looked at him. Her original admiration towards him became one of anger, as well as panicked alert towards strangers.

“You’re not gay?”

“No.”

“You don’t like men?”

“Yes.”

“You only like women?”

“To be precise, I only like you.” It’s not like he loved every beautiful woman.

Oh no – – Tang Xin Lian felt like her head was about to explode. Zhong Zhen Dong wasn’t h.o.m.os.e.xual. He liked women. Then them living together for so long, him kissing her, hugging her, touching her, helping her dry her undergarments, accompanying her to go buy and try on lingerie – – She really just wanted to die!

Attacked by the feeling of betrayal from his continual deception and of humiliation from being toyed with, her originally rosy face turned pale. She clenched her fist as her body slightly trembled from anger.
