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

Lin Qian paused, a half-smile playing on her lips: "You mean Lu Beiting has never let go of you?"

The girl raised her chin high, her tone more confident, carrying an almost boastful sense of superiority:

"Yes, Bei Ting hasn't dated anyone since he started dating me. What else could it be but that he can't let me go?"

Lin Qian wasn't angry at all; instead, she gave her a pitying look.

"Miss, do you know what you look like right now?"

The girl was taken aback by her sudden question and instinctively asked back, "Like what?"

Lin Qian: "Like a concubine who goes mad because she can't see the emperor in the cold palace."

"..."

The girl choked for a moment, but quickly regained her haughty demeanor.

"I just got back to the country these past two days, so I hope you'll be sensible and leave him as soon as possible. After all, love has its order of arrival, and I was the one who started dating Lu Beiting first! I'm reminding you of all this for your own good."

After saying that, the girl left in her high heels.

Lin Qian slowly withdrew her gaze, stood still for a long time, and the smile on her face gradually faded away.

A heavy, bittersweet feeling, like an invisible vine, quietly wrapped around my heart, tightening its grip more and more.

She thought of Lu Beiting from her university days.

She knew that Lu Beiting was a dissolute and carefree person back then, and she also knew that he had dated so many girlfriends.

But now, a strange emotion was stuck in Lin Qian's chest, and it was difficult for it to dissipate.

Yes, they were all dumped, so why would she think she would be an exception?

But she also felt that Lu Beiting's affection for her was genuine.

He clearly...liked her too.

Torn between two intense emotions, Lin Qian couldn't help but recall the comments on the campus forum from back then:

[Young Master Lu is dating again? Wow, guess how long this breakup will last?]

One month, no more.

[Hoping a girl will appear who can make Lu Beiting settle down! Or is there any girl who dares to dump Lu Beiting?]

[Get Lu Beiting to settle down? That's a joke.]

[Yes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. Rather than believing a man can change, you might as well find another one to date!]

Lin Qian returned to the penthouse suite with a heavy heart.

Lu Beiting had just finished a multinational video conference and closed his laptop.

Lin Qian didn't say anything. After taking a shower, she curled up in bed and hugged herself into a ball.

When Lu Beiting crawled in, Lin Qian had her back to him.

The man approached her from behind, his hot breath brushing against her ear, and whispered:

"Was the dessert good?"

Lin Qian remained silent.

Lu Beiting sensed something was wrong and reached out to hug the little person in his arms.

"Is your back still sore? Did you hurt yourself in the hot spring?"

Lin Qian: "I hate you."

Lu Beiting: "?"

Lin Qian: "I don't like you anymore."

Lu Beiting: "???"

The sky is falling.

Lu Beiting suddenly flipped over and pinned Lin Qian down, facing her and staring intently into her eyes.

"Why do you suddenly dislike me?"

A barely perceptible glint of moisture appeared in Lin Qian's eyes.

Lu Beiting immediately understood, "Someone is bullying you."

It is an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Lin Qian struggled for a moment, trying to push him away, but he easily grabbed her two slender wrists with one hand, raised them above her head, and fixed them to the soft pillow.

She said irritably, "You're bullying me."

Lu Beiting suddenly lowered his head and forcefully kissed her lips, prying them open to capture her breath.

The moment their lips touched, it felt as if an electric current flowed through their entire bodies.

Lin Qian's lips were almost numb from his kisses, and she was panting softly.

"If you lie again, I'll kiss you."

Lu Beiting gently touched Lin Qian's soft lips. "I don't like hearing you say those words. What do you mean you don't like me anymore? I'll kiss your lips raw."

Lin Qian was forced to meet his gaze.

Lu Beiting asked, "Who did you see at the restaurant just now?"

It must be said that Lu Beiting has a very keen sense of observation; he can easily connect the dots to what might have just happened.

Lin Qian kicked him, her voice tinged with frustration and sadness.

"I met one of your many ex-girlfriends."

Lu Beiting: "And then? What did she say?"

Lin Qian: "She said you've never let go of her, and that love is about who comes first and who comes last, so I should leave you sooner."

Lu Beiting almost laughed in anger. He pinched Lin Qian's cheek lightly, with a touch of affectionate punishment:

"Don't you know who I have in my heart yet, huh?"

Lin Qian kept a straight face and deliberately turned her head away. "I don't know."

"It's filled with you, only you."

Lin Qian gave an extremely indifferent "Oh".

Lu Beiting coaxed her softly, "So, a stranger casually said a few things to stir up trouble in front of you, and you're unhappy?"

Lin Qian: "Would you be happy if you were in my shoes?"

Lu Beiting: "If any fool dares to talk nonsense in front of me, saying that my girlfriend has someone else in her heart, I will make him disappear completely first, and then come back to treat you twice as well, spoil you rotten, so that you have no time or opportunity to think about other men."

Lin Qian didn't speak.

She knew that she was somewhat insecure.

The closer you get, the more you crave it, and the more you fear that such beauty is just a fleeting moment.

Lu Beiting chuckled and leaned closer, "So... is my girlfriend jealous?"

"You're crazy," Lin Qian said irritably, her little face stern. "I'll eat your dad."

The next second, she was suddenly pulled out of bed by Lu Beiting.

"Hey!" Lin Qian exclaimed, instinctively hugging him tightly, "What are you doing?!"

Lu Beiting chuckled and patted her bottom. "Of course, I have to appease my girlfriend."

His efficiency was astonishing. In less than two minutes, a phone call retrieved the restaurant's surveillance footage and quickly identified the girl's room number.

Lu Beiting raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" the girl asked lazily as she pushed open the door.

The door was opened, and when the girl saw Lu Beiting standing outside with a cold expression, her eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

"Oh my god, Bei Ting? How...how did you know I was back in the country? It's been so long!"

After speaking, she pretended to be reserved and tidied her hair, making sure she was in a perfect state of elegance and intellect.

Lu Beiting's expression was exceptionally cold, exuding an aura of detachment and oppression that kept people at a distance. His voice was icy:

"I've forgotten who you are, and I have no feelings for you whatsoever. You'd better recognize your place; you have no right to tell my girlfriend what to do."

After saying that, Lu Beiting pulled Lin Qian over and openly put his arm around her waist to assert his ownership.

This pose is incredibly intimate.

Lin Qian was afraid that Lu Beiting would kiss her in front of others, after all, he had done it once in front of Xia Tingshi.

The girl was stunned by the two's ambiguous actions, and her eyes gradually reddened.

"Did she deliberately stir up trouble? Bei Ting, I clearly didn't say those things!"

Lu Beiting sneered, making no attempt to hide the disgust in his tone:

"I'm sorry, those tricks won't work on me. I'm allergic to green tea."

After saying that, he put his arm around Lin Qian's waist, his voice changing from cold to doting, and coaxed her softly:

"Let's go, baby~"
