"Mr. Xu, keep your hands off me." Hong Cha turned back with an angry look.

  Her aggressiveness caused Xu Qin Rui to be intrigued. He formed his bland haughty smile before letting her waist go. It was just so soft and slender as if quite fragile. His urge is to squeeze her between his arms till she cries like a bullied little girl. Hong Cha didn't know his thoughts and took the towel from him. She settled on the divan while wiping her hair. Xu Qin Rui walked past her and sat on the divan next to her. Her gaze avoided him then settled on the opening door. To her astonishment, it was the innocent female lead.

  "Sir, the secretary sent me to hand in the contract with Zhong Hospital." Sang Linlin bowed her head the instant she saw Xu Qin Rui.

  She meekly took a peak when she met Hong Cha's gaze. Sang Linlin was stunned to see her. Rumors from the office said that Xu Qin Rui is a certain playboy. That is the reason why when they first met, she tried avoiding him. But lately, they kept crossing paths, which slowly formed admiration in her. Who wouldn't admire Xu Qin Rui? He's like a prince charming from a book of fantasy, ah.

  "Take it here." Xu Qin Rui leaned on the divan.

  Sang Linlin stood next to him and handed in the contract. She glanced back at Hong Cha who kept looking at them. Well, Lou Fencha has a perfect body that is supple and she is tall too, like a model. No wonder she can get close to Xu Qin Rui. As for Sang Linlin, she's the meek and cute type of girl with an average height. However, Xu Qin Rui seems to enjoy teasing her height and provoking her innocence. Sang Linlin thought he must be after naive women now since he's been surrounded by whores.

  "If you want another woman, you could have just kicked me out." Hong Cha stood up and flung the towel to his face. She left hurriedly as Xu Qin Rui slowly took it off.

  "S-Sir, are you..." Sang Linlin stammered in worry.

  "It's fine." He placed the contract down without signing it. Xu Qin Rui looked up to Sang Linlin and made a choice. His cute little mouse or his fierce kitty?

  Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Hong Cha entered the walk-in closet of Xu Qin Rui. She wanted to test his patience in case the female lead had taken over his mind. Her eyes scanned the clothes hanging on the shelves when she heard the doorknob click. Hong Cha was shocked since she was only wearing a towel. She picked up his shirt to dress herself quickly.

  "So, you've been hiding here." Xu Qin Rui opened the door to see her inside.

  His movement stopped upon seeing her state. She was wearing his shirt exposed. It was enough to cover her crucial parts and hide her hands. Even more than that, it was obvious she was not wearing anything below the white fabric. Xu Qin Rui's eyes gleamed as if they belonged to a predator that was quite hungry.

  "What could be worse than him seeing me in a towel only." she thought it was not a terrible idea. Hong Cha knew he liked seeing her almost naked but fortunately, she wore his shirt to cover herself.

  Xu Qin Rui didn't say a word and headed out with the door left open. Hong Cha guessed he was gone. Her heart nearly jumped off her chest to know he didn't leave but stayed on the balcony instead. She saw him take out a cigarette which made her brows furrow. Should she stop him? Hong Cha strode to the balcony when she saw herself in a mirror. A memory flashed again.

  On the same white shirt as a man, she was shyly walking forward to the feminine guy. He can't keep his eyes off her as she reaches his side. Hong Cha leaned closer to kiss him. She was inexperienced like before but he generously reciprocated. Her heart skipped a beat to feel his tight embrace.

  "Gu Zixing." she called his name softly.

  Hong Cha met his ash-grey eyes, which were clear and untainted. It was like they belonged to a high being who had seen too much and lost interest in the world. But whenever he looked at her, there was a faint spark of gentleness from within. Had she seen wrong all these times? Or was it all true? Either way, she is willing to give herself to him. He helped her a lot without asking for an exchange. Was it her heart?

  Gu Zixing smiled faintly and then held her chin.

  "You look good in my shirt." he assessed her well, and Hong Cha's face lit up. As far as she knows, he's not the sort of man who has hidden desires. But his gaze as of now, it's not his usual calm demeanor. "However, I wonder if it's better if you don't have it?"

  With his question, he unbuttoned the shirt until it showcased her firm round peaks. Even with her bra covering it, the view is very pleasing as if made to tease men with the greatest perseverance.

  "Hm?" Xu Qin Rui broke from his thoughts upon sensing a familiar flowery scent.

  His eyes glimmered a bit then became normal again. For some reason, his calmness was gone. A fair hand took the untouched cigarette from his hand before throwing it down. Xu Qin Rui looked back at Hong Cha whose cheeks were slightly red. The scent of camellia lingered around her as his throat dried.

  "Smoking is not good. You're killing yourself slowly with it." She looked down to hide her expression.

  What the hell did she remember?! It was too real she could feel Gu Zixing's hands undoing the shirt for her. Who are they anyway? Was he her lover? Is he the kid who fell down the tree? Is he related to someone she called Brother Sheng?

  "You should think of yours too." he lowered his gaze to her chest. She has no idea how stimulating she looks. Should he take a bite now?
