My online dating circle has millions of followers, why would she put a collar on me?

This wasn't the first time Xia Anmian had taken the initiative.

The boy beneath her was very timid. If she hadn't broken through that barrier, the two of them might never have ended up together.

It was precisely because of the boy's cowardice and Jiang Yi's inferiority complex that Xia Anmian kept the truth from Jiang Yi all along.

This is why she felt increasingly indebted to Jiang Yi.

That's why she took the initiative tonight.

She didn't know if she regretted it or not, but as long as she did it, she would accept it even if she had to confess later.

There will be opportunities.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi's mind went completely blank.

He reflexively pounced on Xia Anmian.

Primal desires were assaulting his brain, and his breathing became labored.

He held Xia Anmian's head in his arms and kissed her fiercely.

This wasn't the first time the two had kissed.

The two kissed for the first time on a rainy day during their freshman year of college when they officially became a couple.

It's very light and soft!

Very tender.

This time is different from the past.

It's just as soft and tender, but it lacks the shyness of first love and has more passion.

Xia Anmian grabbed Jiang Yi's head with her other hand and responded tightly.

The release of adrenaline had already left her with no way out.

She responded just as passionately, running her fingers through his still slightly damp hair, her nails gently scraping his scalp. The tingling sensation spread from the top of his head all the way down his spine, making Jiang Yi's breathing completely disordered.

Their bodies were pressed together, and through the thin fabric of their clothes, he could feel her heart beating fast and heavy, just as erratically as his.

His hand slid from her back to her waist, his fingertips touching the edge of the hem of her nightgown, the cotton fabric incredibly soft.

His fingers slipped inside, touching the smooth skin on her side, a small patch of skin that felt slightly warm in his palm.

Xia Anmian's body trembled slightly, but she did not flinch.

This signal further weakened Jiang Yi's remaining rationality.

His hand moved up from her waist, stroking her back inch by inch, feeling the muscles on both sides of her spine tighten and relax under his palm.

Xia Anmian pulled away from his lips, panting, and turned her head to bury her face in the crook of his neck.

Her breath was hot and rapid, hitting the skin above his collarbone like tiny flames burning.

"Jiang Yi..." Her voice was muffled, with a hoarseness he had never heard before.

His hand rested on her waist, his thumb unconsciously circling the skin on her side.

At that very moment, an image suddenly flashed into his mind.

Su Xiaoyue.

Not the Su Xiaoyue holding a knife in the dream, but the Su Xiaoyue in the video call with red eyes, crying and saying, "I thought you didn't want me anymore."

He remembered the earnest, almost obsessive face on the screen when she said, "So even if you're a liar, even if you've been lying to me from beginning to end, I won't regret it."

He remembered her eyes curving into crescents when she said, "Honey, you're so good to me."

He remembered the excited tone in her voice when she said, "I'm going to prepare a surprise for you."

That girl gave her whole heart to the lie her sister wove with his photo. And he, Jiang Yi, is holding another girl in his arms.

A girl who truly belonged to him.

He withdrew his hand from Xia Anmian's waist.

The movement was subtle, but noticeable enough.

Xia Anmian raised her head and looked at him in the dim light of the bedside lamp.

Her face still bore the flush from earlier, her lips were slightly swollen, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with a thin layer of red. She looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water, so soft and gentle that she was unlike the calm and composed Xia Anmian she usually was.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Anmian's voice was a little breathless.

Jiang Yi lay on top of Xia Anmian, burying his head in her chest, and whispered:

"Mianmian, go to sleep. You have to catch a flight tomorrow."

However, Xia Anmian ignored Jiang Yi's words and even grabbed Jiang Yi directly.

"Look me in the eyes. We've come this far together, and you're going to give up? Jiang Yi, are you even a man?"

Jiang Yi was so ashamed by Xia Anmian's words that he couldn't lift his head, but there was nothing he could do.

If Su Xiaoyue's incident hadn't happened in the past...

He will still be just as cowardly as he is today, but he will definitely have a relationship with Xia Anmian in a natural way.

But not now.

Xia Anmian didn't know the specifics, and if she took her without knowing the details...

She'll break up with me when she finds out.

His upbringing did not allow him to behave in this way.

Xia Anmian, on the other hand, stared at Jiang Yi.

"Is it because of that 13?"

"Jiang Yi, do you still think I'd break up with you over something like this?"

Xia Anmian stared coldly at Jiang Yi.

No, no.

Jiang Yi shook his head vigorously.

"Then why? You have to give me a reason, otherwise..."

She wanted to say "break up," but the words stuck in her throat. She didn't say them.

She wasn't that dramatic; she wanted to resolve this matter more than dealing with Jiang Yi.

Looking into Xia Anmian's eyes, Jiang Yi sighed deeply.

He wanted to tell Xia Anmian about Su Xiaoyue.

But what good would it do to tell them?

She's just an ordinary girl. Even if she doesn't abandon him, how long would it take for her to raise 130 million together?

"Ugh."

Jiang Yi hugged Xia Anmian and whispered in her ear.

"That's not fair to you, let's wait until we get married~"

However, upon hearing this, Xia Anmian burst out laughing.

She suddenly pushed Jiang Yi away from her.

Jiang Yi was suddenly pulled away and fell onto the bed.

Before I could react, everything went black.

The lights were turned off immediately, and then I felt a heavy weight pressing down on me.

Before Jiang Yi could resist, a cold warning voice rang out.

"Jiang Yi, if you dare to do anything rash, we're breaking up!"

The hand that had been slightly raised was eventually lowered.

After a soft moan, the room was filled with youthful energy.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai.

At the boarding gate, Gu Qinghan sent "Goodnight" to "Baby" in her contact list and then turned off her phone.

Seeing that Su Xiaoyue was still holding her phone, Gu Qinghan urged her:

"Xiaoyue, turn off your phone quickly, we need to board the plane."

"Right away, right away."

Su Xiaoyue stared at the green screen that had been on her phone all night.

The last time her "husband" replied to her message was an hour ago. She had waited so long, but her "husband" still hadn't replied.

"Xiaoyue, he's probably asleep at this hour. Let's not wait any longer, let's board the plane quickly!"

Gu Qinghan snatched Su Xiaoyue's phone and pressed and held the power button to turn it off.

"Hey, Qinghan, wait a minute, I'll..."

"Hey, Xiaoyue, we'll arrive tomorrow morning, it won't make a difference if we don't board soon. Hurry up and board! We're in first class, we're not leaving until we get on the plane!"

After turning off his phone, Gu Qinghan stuffed it into his pants and then pulled Su Xiaoyue toward the boarding gate.
