Roses in Flames

"A one-night stand?"

Outside the bar, Ye Yuntang walked up to the man smoking under the streetlight.

The man had short, neat hair, was handsome and sharp-looking, with a stern jawline, and exuded a tough-guy aura.

The way he tilted his head back and smoked exuded an overwhelming aura of hormones.

The man's dark, narrow eyes swept over Ye Yuntang, and his thin lips coldly uttered, "Not interested."

Ye Yuntang wore a high-slit halter dress, showing off her long legs, slim waist, and tall, exquisite figure. Her exposed skin was so white it seemed to reflect light.

Her brown curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her small, delicate face was adorned with striking features.

Hearing the man's refusal, she wasn't embarrassed or angry. Instead, she smiled alluringly at him. "Well then, can I borrow a light?"

She held a cigarette between her red lips, tiptoed, and moved closer to the man.

The man was wearing a black t-shirt, black cargo pants, and combat boots; he was tall, muscular, and had a good physique.

Amidst the flickering crimson light, he lowered his eyes, watching the woman who had lit her cigarette with the tip of his cigarette.

Her long eyelashes drooped, her red lips parted slightly, and the corners of her eyes turned up subtly, captivating all who beheld her.

The moment their eyes met, Xiao Lin's slender jawline tightened abruptly, and his sharp, sexy Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"Captain Xiao, am I pretty?"

After lighting the fire, Ye Yuntang exhaled a puff of smoke towards the man's cold and rugged handsome face.

Xiao Lin watched her flirtatious and wild movements, his brows suddenly furrowing. "You know me?"

Ye Yuntang lightly tapped the man's hard chest with her slender white fingers holding the woman's cigarette. Before she could speak, her fingertips were firmly grasped by the man's large hand.

His fingertips were warm and rough.

"Don't touch me!"

Ye Yuntang's fingers were a little sore from his grip.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, alluring and seductive. "My husband cheated on me with your fiancée. Who do you think I am?"

Xiao Lin narrowed his dark eyes slightly. "You are Mrs. Fu."

Ye Yuntang withdrew her finger, flicked off her cigarette ash, and smiled coldly, "No, this morning, I already got a divorce certificate with Fu Shili. Now I'm a single lady."

Xiao Lin's gaze toward Ye Yuntang became more complex and somber.

Through the bluish-white smoke, Ye Yuntang stared intently at Xiao Lin.

He and Fu Shili were completely different types. Fu Shili was handsome and refined, noble and gentle, while the man in front of him was unapproachable yet had a rugged handsomeness that came from being weathered by life.

"I once heard your fiancée say to my ex-husband in the dashcam footage that you were poor and useless, and that after you got engaged to her, you never touched her and were a good-for-nothing who couldn't even stand up."

Ye Yuntang stubbed out her cigarette after taking a few puffs, threw it into the trash can, and then approached the man.

Her slender, fair arms encircled the man's neck, her red lips brushed against his ear, her smile alluring and seductive, "Are you really not good enough?"

The scent of a woman filled my ears.

It felt like a tiny electric current passing through, both tingling and numb.

Xiao Lin's tall and aloof body suddenly tensed.

He wanted to push the woman who was close to him away, but then he smelled a faint, sweet fragrance emanating from her.

Like a dark poppy, it possesses a deadly allure.

He lowered his gaze to look at the woman; her peach blossom eyes fluttered slightly, and her eyes exuded a captivating charm.

Every frown and smile exudes charm.

For a moment, only two words flashed through his mind.

stunner.

"You're drunk." His deep voice was terribly hoarse.

Ye Yuntang did drink quite a bit that night, but not to the point of being so drunk that he lost his senses.

Of course she knew what she was doing.

Bai Chuwei slept with her ex-husband.

She's going to sleep with her ex-fiancé now.

"Xiao Lin, do you dare to do it with me?"

Ye Yuntang gently stroked the man's sexy Adam's apple with her fingertips.

Xiao Lin grasped her erratic fingers and squeezed them tightly into his palm.

He looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. "Why me?"

Ye Yuntang smiled seductively, "Don't you think it's exciting that we slept together?"

Xiao Lin pressed his tongue against his back teeth. "You want to get revenge on your ex-husband?"

Ye Yuntang raised an eyebrow. "Don't you want to get revenge on Bai Chuwei? Or are you really, as Bai Chuwei said, a useless piece of trash who can't stand up straight..."

Before Ye Yuntang could finish speaking, her slender body was hoisted onto the man's shoulder.

Ye Yuntang almost vomited when her stomach pressed against the man's shoulder blade.

"Xiao Lin, what are you doing?"

After throwing her into the car, the man stared directly at her with his dark eyes. "Aren't you going to do it?"

Ye Yuntang glanced around. "You're not planning to stay in the car, are you?"

Xiao Lin's thin lips pressed into a straight line. "Did you bring your ID card?"

……

Parkview Hotel.

As soon as they entered the room, Xiao Lin pinned Ye Yuntang against the entryway cabinet.

He held her slender waist with one hand and lifted her chin with the other.

Are you sure you want to do it with me?

Ye Yuntang didn't like this kind of tough guy man before.

She always felt it was too rough.

But now, with Xiao Lin pressing close to her and her nose filled with his strong masculine scent, her heart started racing.

I have to admit, he's really charismatic.

She raised her finger and stroked the man's chiseled, handsome, and cold face. "How about I show you with my actions?"

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the man's thin lips with her red lips.

Xiao Lin's body stiffened, and his breathing suddenly became heavier.

While kissing him, Ye Yuntang reached her fingers toward the hem of the man's t-shirt.

My fingertips traced his well-defined abdominal muscles.

He has a V-shaped waist and long legs.

Her fertility seems to be quite good.

Xiao Lin had lived for twenty-eight years and had never seen such a daring woman.

She was alluring, wild, and seductive, like a bewitching enchantress at midnight.

He had always been aloof from women and as cold and hard as a rock, but now, his supposedly proud defenses were crumbling inch by inch.

After Ye Yuntang kissed the man, seeing that he remained unmoved, she raised an eyebrow slightly, her smile mocking, "It seems Bai Chuwei was right, you really aren't good enough."

She planned to push him away and leave.

But the next second, the man grabbed her hand.

He pinned her against the doorframe.

The kisses rained down on us.
