Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Lin Qian has a constitution that makes her skin prone to redness.

Even a light scratch will leave a noticeable red mark after a while, like a bright red plum blossom, which will take a long time to fade away.

Not to mention, if you apply too much force, you'll end up with bruises that are especially noticeable on snow-white skin.

So three years ago, after each relationship with Lu Beiting ended, she would take two days to rest.

"What do you think?" Lin Qian looked at the culprit, her face instantly turning red, and asked, "Tell me, how am I swollen?"

After applying the medicine, Lu Beiting slowly and methodically helped her put on a new nightgown, his tone devoid of any remorse:

"I don't exercise regularly and lack physical activity."

He asked in a serious tone, "Would you like to come here to work out more in the future? Perfect, I'll be your fitness coach."

This kind of fitness is not the same as that kind of fitness.

I'm afraid that while exercising, I'll end up in bed.

Lin Qian met his lustful, predatory gaze and hurriedly turned her head away. "If you're lonely, go find another woman."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air froze.

Lu Beiting's face darkened, the smile in his eyes gradually freezing into ice. "In your heart, am I that kind of casual man?"

"What else?"

Back in college, he was a notorious playboy, with rumors of him dating girls from other colleges circulating every now and then. Moreover, the fact that he went to Banxi Island to "select concubines" and "pick vegetables" suggests just how indiscriminate he was in his private life.

With such strong desires, how could he possibly wrong his own body?

After Lin Qian finished speaking, Lu Beiting stared at her for a long time, then suddenly laughed in anger.

He licked his back teeth, his jawline taut, his teeth almost grinding to powder. "Yes, if you can do this kind of thing with your boyfriend, why can't I go find other women?"

The voice just fell.

Lu Beiting suddenly stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and easily hoisted her onto his shoulder.

Lin Qian's body was suddenly lifted into the air. Caught off guard, she cried out in surprise, afraid of falling, and instinctively hooked her arms around Lu Beiting's neck.

Her voice trembled slightly, "Lu Beiting, it's daytime! What do you want to do...?"

"I'll take you to breakfast," Lu Beiting said, slapping her buttocks a few times without any politeness. "You'd better behave and not make me angry, or I'll pin you down in the kitchen and eat you like a dish."

"..."

Lin Qian immediately became obedient.

She let Lu Beiting carry her to the dining table.

The table was already laden with exquisite and beautiful dishes, a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, a dazzling array.

Lin Qian's gaze swept over, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Lotus root and glutinous rice stuffed dumplings, crystal shrimp dumplings, rose shortbread, amber walnut cake, coconut snow rolls...

All of them were her favorite dishes.

Unexpectedly, three years later, Lu Beiting still remembers everything clearly.

Before Lin Qian could land.

Lu Beiting forcefully pressed her into his lap, wrapped his arms around her tightly from behind, and then slowly opened the packaging box.

He commanded in a deep voice, "Eat."

Lin Qian sat on his burning hot lap, shifting uncomfortably, her ears turning slightly red. "Then... put me down."

Lu Beiting glanced at her, "What's the problem? Can't I eat while sitting on my lap?"

Lin Qian's face flushed, and her palms were sweaty. "We need to keep our distance while eating."

"Oh, what kind of distance?" Lu Beiting leaned closer, rubbing against her mischievously, a playful smile curving his lips. "Negative distance?"

Lin Qian: "!!!"

If Lu Beiting hadn't stopped her around the waist, she would have been sent flying.

Lin Qian's breathing gradually became rapid.

Who would have their ex sit on their lap to eat breakfast? Is that even an ex anymore?

She tried to remain calm and turned to ask, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry, I ate a lot last night."

Lin Qian: "..."

Indeed, how could you not be full if you eat six times in one night?

But Lin Qian was really hungry right now.

Last night took a huge toll on her energy, and by the end she was so tired she couldn't even lift her fingers.

Lin Qian lowered her head and focused on eating her meal.

Lu Beiting watched her eat with great interest, taking small bites, and twirled a strand of her long hair with his index finger.

"Ex-girlfriend, how about you reconsider?"

Lin Qian looked up. "What are you considering?"

"Break up with your boyfriend," Lu Beiting stared intently at her with his dark phoenix eyes, "I will secretly give him some compensation, as a way of making amends."

Lin Qian paused, her hand holding the spoon still, and did not answer immediately.

The air was silent for a few seconds, with only the faint rustling of leaves coming from outside the window.

Lu Beiting's eyes turned cold. "What, you don't want to break up with him?"

Lin Qian avoided his extremely aggressive gaze.

She couldn't let Lu Beiting know that the so-called "boyfriend" was just something she made up. If Lu Beiting knew she was single, he would probably become even more reckless.

He's contacting her so frequently now simply because he hasn't slept enough, because of his possessiveness and pride, and because he can't accept that he was dumped in the past.

Lin Qian was afraid.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and fall in love with Lu Beiting again, to the point of being unable to extricate herself. She was even more afraid of being hurt again and experiencing the sadness and pain of the past once more...

Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Beiting couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. He forcefully pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

The man's gaze fell on her face, his voice low and deep: "Fine, I was shameless, I disturbed your happiness."

After saying that, he stood up with a cold face, slammed the door shut without looking back, and left, seemingly in a terrible mood.

A loud bang echoed through the empty suite, making Lin Qian's heart tremble.

Outside.

Lu Beiting, however, did not leave.

He leaned against the wall of the hotel corridor, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, shook out a cigarette, and lit it casually.

A pale blue mist rose in wisps, gradually blurring his angular face.

He waited quietly, smoking one cigarette after another, his mind filled with the image of Lin Qian softly falling under him last night and saying, "Lu Beiting, I only like you."

Half an hour passed, and the door remained tightly closed.

Lin Qian still showed no intention of chasing after him.

Lu Beiting gave a self-deprecating sneer, then walked towards the elevator.

"A woman who becomes heartless when she puts on a skirt."

-

That evening, in a luxurious villa in Xifu Courtyard.

Lu Beiting sat alone in the center of the sofa, half of his face hidden in the shadows, the red wine in his hand already empty.

Like a quiet sculpture, silent and still.

When Xiao Si pushed open the door, he saw this scene and said in a surprised tone, "Hey, Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Did the sun rise in the west today? You actually called me over to drink with you?"

Lu Beiting remained silent, surrounded by a heavy and oppressive aura, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood.

He didn't seem to be in any particular mood. He poured himself another glass of wine, lost in thought.

Xiao Si sat down opposite him, took a sip of his drink, and asked, "Didn't you go catch up with your ex-girlfriend last night? What happened next?"

Lu Beiting remained expressionless. "No further updates."

Xiao Si finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I knew it! Someone like you would never become a male mistress."

Lu Beiting paused almost imperceptibly.

Xiao Si had recently been cheated on by his mistress, and he was furious, spewing off a torrent of words:

"You know I hate mistresses the most. They're having a great relationship, and then they have to go and ruin it, even sleeping with the other person. You be the judge, aren't these people out of their minds? How shameless!"

The voice just fell.

Lu Beiting's face darkened instantly.
