After setting the style and the pickup time, he took her out of the shop.

The Parisian streets were very quiet in summer, and the air brought the fragrance of unknown flowers.

A Rolls-Royce stopped at the street not far ahead and Pei Ziheng said, “The car is here.” He reached out and took her hand, but she pushed him away forcefully. He looked down at her, his expression darkening.

She stepped back and said stubbornly, “Don’t hold my hand!”

He said in a deep voice, “What are you throwing a tantrum again for?”

Tears swirled in her eyes. “What do you mean by this, you think I’ll forgive you for bullying me just because you bought me a ring? You clearly said I could ask you anything I wanted to know, but you didn’t even answer my questions! Pei Ziheng, am I just like all the other girls and you can do whatever you please with me?!”

“Are you sad?” he asked.

She turned her head away and didn’t speak.

His slightly rough hand gently pinched her skin, turning her face gently, yet not losing strength. She couldn’t escape and stared at him fiercely. He had never seen her look so fierce.

“The big diamond ring can’t even shut you up.” His voice was low and magnetic and brought a hint of a smile. “Did you think I could spend as I wish just because I’m rich? I don’t have such a good heart to give just any random person a ring that costs hundreds of millions.”

She seemed to understand only a little and looked at him in uncertainty.

“Little fool.” In a good mood, he smiled, stroking his fingertips gently across her petal-like lips. “I’ve only given a ring to you in my entire life. Are you satisfied?”

“Oh.” She really understood this time and her heart skipped a beat, then started jumping fast. She still wanted to ask something but didn’t know where to start. Under his gentle gaze, she seemed to lose all her courage and a faint blush crept onto her white face.

He took her hand.

This time, she didn’t resist and followed him back to the hotel obediently.

A few days later, the two returned to China. The Training Camp was still on summer vacation and Xia Ling didn’t go back to school. She stayed in Pei Ziheng’s villa instead. Her cot was still in his bedroom, separated by a screen, and his bed was still within her reach. She had lived on this bed for several years, but this time, she only felt awkward.

She changed into her pajamas and walked around the screen. She just didn’t want to go to bed.

Pei Ziheng came out of the bathroom, dressed in a black silk bathrobe, water dripping on his tight chest muscles. He rubbed his hair and glanced at her. “Why are you not sleeping?”

“I, I…” She blushed and turned away, not daring to look at him. “I want to move out.”

He frowned. “Move out?”

“It’s just changing a bedroom,” she whispered uncomfortably.

He stopped wiping his hair and threw the towel on the table before walking up to her. “What’s wrong again?”

“I’ve grown up.” She looked down and leaned her back against the screen, feeling his breath still close at hand. “Living with you, it’s, it’s not appropriate.” She remembered how Nanny Zhou had been so against her moving into his bedroom. Sure enough, the older maid had better foresight.

He didn’t reply for a long time.

She couldn’t help but look up, only to find that he was also looking at her under the dark branches of the wall lamp.

She was so nervous she could not breathe.

A long time passed before he spoke in a calm voice, his emotions undetectable. “I’ve already slept with you, what does it matter if you move out?” It was clearly a low and magnetic tone, but it seemed to have a heavyweight bomb embedded in it.

She shuddered and remembered the scene in the car that day. The pain and fear she had felt rushed over her like waves again, and she almost ran away from him.

He lifted her chin like a beast examining his prey. “If you don’t want to be with me, then why are you jealous? Why do you care how many women I have, who I’ve slept with and whether or not I’ve given them gifts?”

She looked at him in confusion and shivered.

Pei Ziheng suddenly let go of her. He turned around and switched off the lights and went to bed. “Suits you. I won’t stop you if you step out of this door today, but don’t care about which woman I’m with next time. If you’ve figured it out, come sleep on my bed. I promise I’ll only love you in the future and won’t touch other women.”

She didn’t expect this to be the result. In the dark, her heart beat like a drum.

Should she leave or stay?

Originally, she had made up her mind to move out, but now she was uncertain. He was too much, how could he give her such a difficult multiple-choice question? At the thought of sleeping on his bed, her blood rushed upstream and she knew she was blushing without even looking at a mirror. She felt shy, fearful, and there was an unclear feeling surging in her heart…

She was so scared.

But she was more afraid that he wouldn’t want her anymore and would find other women.

When she thought of him doing to other women what he did to her, she…

She…

She couldn’t stand it.

The delicate girl stood in the dark at a loss for a long time.

Pei Ziheng’s low voice sounded slow, “Have you thought it through?”

She didn’t dare to speak.

Pei Ziheng smiled and said, “Don’t tell me you intend to stand here for the whole night? What about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you’re not going to sleep forever?”

She said with a cry, “You’re too much.”

In the darkness, shuffling noises came in the direction of the luxurious big bed. She heard the sound of footsteps approaching her and it stopped in front of her. The man’s body encircled her into his arms.

She used her strength to struggle against him but could not break apart. She cried and hit him. “You’re too much!”

Her body was restrained immediately. His strength was like iron and she was not allowed to move. Her petal-like soft lips were locked by his lips. It lingered and twirled deeper, making her want to struggle but was too weak to do so. She remained in his arms. One of his big hands held onto her waist and he whispered in her ear softly, “I’ll be very gentle with you, Xiao Ling. Hand yourself to me.”

She cried, “I hate you!”

He kissed her again on her tear-stained cheeks. He fondled up her body with his warm, dry hands, causing her body to tremble. “Xiao Ling,” he said hoarsely. “You still have the chance to leave the room. If you don’t go… I’ll take it as you agreeing.”

Her mind was in a complete blank. She wanted to go, but her legs were so soft she couldn’t move.

He waited for a few seconds and chuckled softly. Then, he carried her and put her on his big bed.

“Pei Ziheng!” She shivered and cried.

His fingers stroked her cheeks gently, moving down and unbuttoning her pajamas. Her delicate skin slowly unfolded in the darkness and he caressed her a little as if caressing a rare treasure.

She trembled badly, and the heartbreaking pain of her first time rose in her memories. She couldn’t help but want to scream and stammered. “Pei Ziheng… Brother Pei…”

Even her teeth were clattering.

“Do you like me?” He kissed her and asked.
