Roses in Flames

Ye Yuntang returned to her rented apartment.

The drizzle gradually intensified, and a gust of wind picked up outside.

Upon returning to her apartment, Ye Yuntang immediately went to collect the clothes from the balcony.

She planned to go swimming with her best friend over the weekend, so she washed her swimsuit and hung it out to dry on the balcony.

As a result, she only found that the swimsuit was missing; the lace halter top was gone.

Ye Yuntang looked around but couldn't find it.

A look of confusion crossed her beautiful eyes. How could it have disappeared?

She glanced at the balcony next door, wondering if it had landed on Xiao Gou's balcony.

几分钟前。

When Xiao Lin returned home, he went to collect the clothes before Ye Yuntang.

After putting away the clothes and preparing to go inside, I noticed a small piece of fabric lying in the corner.

He walked over, picked up the piece of cloth, and looked at it.

Thin straps, lace trim, and minimal yet sexy fabric.

In his haste, his fingertip accidentally snagged a loose thread of lace.

With a little force, a tear appeared.

Xiao Lin's brows furrowed immediately.

This garment, made of very little fabric, belongs to Ye Yuntang.

Did he accidentally damage her clothes?

After putting his clothes in the bedroom, Xiao Lin took the piece of fabric and went to the living room.

His jawline was taut, and his thin lips were pressed together into a cold, hard straight line.

He looked at the meager amount of fabric in his hands, his expression even more somber than if he had encountered a serial murder case.

The fabric in my hand felt like a hot potato.

It was so hot that his fingertips felt numb.

Just as he was stunned, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Xiao Lin subconsciously threw the fabric in his hand away.

He took a deep breath, walked to the door, and opened it.

Standing outside the door was Ye Yuntang.

When she came back, she took a shower and was wearing a champagne gold slip dress.

Her long hair, half-wet and half-dry, draped over her shoulders; her lips were red and her teeth white; she was radiant and captivating.

For a moment, Xiao Lin almost dared not look her in the eye.

"Captain Xiao, I have a piece of clothing that might have blown into your balcony by the wind. May I go and take a look?"

Xiao Lin's tall figure blocked Ye Yuntang's path. "You go back first. I'll find it for you."

Ye Yuntang noticed the man's unease.

Normally, he is cold, sharp, and incredibly tough in front of her.

But right now, he seems a little guilty.

Ye Yuntang raised an eyebrow. "You haven't found Captain Xiao, have you?"

Xiao Lin avoided Ye Yuntang's gaze and said in a deep, hoarse voice, "No."

Ye Yuntang clearly didn't believe it, so she slipped into his apartment when he wasn't looking.

Seeing her walk into the living room, Xiao Lin raised his large hand and rubbed his forehead.

He closed his eyes and quickly organized his thoughts in his mind.

When Ye Yuntang walked into the living room, she found that her lace swimsuit had been thrown on the carpet near the sofa.

She picked it up and glanced at it.

Upon seeing this, my blood rushed to my head.

Damn it!

He even tore the lace trim off her swimsuit.

What exactly did he do to her swimsuit?

Such beautiful lace, torn to shreds, he's a beast!

Ye Yuntang strode aggressively up to the man, handing him her swimsuit. "Captain Xiao, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Xiao Lin pursed his thin lips, looking embarrassed and awkward, his ears slightly burning. "I accidentally tore it, I'll pay you back."

Ye Yuntang gritted her teeth, brought her face close to the man's, and asked, word by word, "Tell me, how did you tear it? You didn't do anything perverted with my swimsuit, did you?"

Xiao Lin's facial features tensed abruptly, his long, narrow eyes swirling with dark glint. "Ye Yuntang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"The facts are right in front of you. How could I be talking nonsense? You put on this cold and aloof act while doing perverted things to my swimsuit. Xiao Lin, you're a hypocrite..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man's large hand covered her mouth.

"I'm not that despicable!"

Ye Yuntang couldn't breathe because he covered her mouth. In a fit of temper, she bit down hard on his tiger's mouth.

She showed no mercy whatsoever.

He was bitten by her and bled.

Xiao Lin's jaw tightened. He grabbed her shoulder and forcefully slammed her against the door frame.

He reached one large hand over her head, and used his other hand, which she had bitten, to pinch her chin.

"What are you doing? You're trying to pinch me, aren't you... Ugh!"

Before she could finish speaking, the man silenced her with a kiss.

Ye Yuntang was surprised that he would suddenly kiss her. Her mind went blank for a moment, and the instant their lips touched, it felt as if an electric current had passed through her.

A strong masculine aura swept over us.

He was probably angry with her; his breathing was slightly heavy.

His kisses were fierce and chaotic.

Ye Yuntang's lips were sore from his rubbing and grinding.

His large hand, which had been gripping her chin, moved to pinch the back of her neck.

He didn't kiss her deeply, but bit her lip hard before releasing her. "If I'm going to do something perverted, I'll just do it to the person, why bother with a small piece of fabric?"

Before Ye Yuntang could react, he pushed her away.

The door slammed shut.

Ye Yuntang looked at the tightly closed door and touched her lips.

If it weren't for the slight numbness in her lips, she would have suspected she was hallucinating.

Grass!

Did Xiao Gou just forcibly kiss her?

She raised her hand and pounded on the door.

"You've got the guts to force a kiss, but not the guts to face me? Open the door and explain yourself!"

She had barely finished speaking when her phone received a message.

Xiao Lin transferred 10,000 yuan to her via WeChat.

Ye Yuntang was almost amused by his outrageous actions.

Does that mean you spent 10,000 yuan to buy that forced kiss?

Isn't he very poor? Why is he being so generous?

She knocked on the door a little too lightly.

"You tore my clothes, what are you going to do about it? I don't want you to pay me back!"

The man didn't open the door, but he sent her a WeChat message.

"What do you want to do?"

"When you have time, come with me to the mall to buy it."

The man did not reply for a long time.

"If you don't answer, I'll post the photos of you tearing my clothes in the work group."

Standing behind the door, Xiao Lin saw the message sent by Ye Yuntang, and a vein twitched slightly on his forehead.

Given her personality, if he doesn't agree, she might actually post it in the work group.

"OK."

Upon receiving the man's reply, Ye Yuntang smiled with satisfaction.

She knew the man was still standing behind the door. She pressed her face against the doorframe and said to him in a coquettish voice, "Brother, don't use me as material for your dreams tonight~"

After saying that, she returned to the apartment across the street with a wicked grin.

Xiao Lin's tall figure leaned against the door frame.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked down at his lower abdomen.

Damn it!

She hooked me again.

……

Song Xuan let Mengmeng stay in Ye Yuntang's room.

When Mengmeng came out of the villa, she brought her laptop with her.

She sat on the bed, constantly refreshing Ji Chen's data.

She really wanted to join Ji Chen's Diamond VIP group, but it required a year of data collection, a certain amount of in-game purchases, and passing three rounds of rigorous review before she could join.

Countless fans are scrambling to get a spot.

After Mengmeng worked hard to boost her data and send out gifts, she finally passed the third round of review.

"Aaaaaah!"

She jumped out of bed happily.

"I finally joined the Diamond VIP group! That's amazing! I'm so happy!"

She hugged her pillow and rolled around on the bed screaming wildly.

There are only one hundred people in the Diamond VIP group.

And every time someone comes in, someone else is kicked out.

The group chat is muted; only the administrators can speak.

The administrator welcomed Mengmeng and messaged her privately, saying that she could meet with Ji Chen alone after the concert tomorrow night.

Mengmeng screamed excitedly again.

Hearing the scream, Song Xuan pushed open the door and came in to take a look.

"Mengmeng, what's making you so happy?"

"Auntie, I'll be able to meet my idol alone tomorrow night!"

"Is your idol male or female? Be careful when you go out."

Mengmeng was a little unhappy with what Song Xuan said. Even if her idol was a man, he was a very kind and loving person.

It was a blessing she had earned in her past life that she could meet him alone; she wouldn't encounter any danger at all.

"Auntie, you don't understand young people's affairs."

Song Xuan didn't say anything more. After closing the door, she was still a little worried, so she went to the living room and called Ye Yuntang.

Upon learning that Mengmeng was going to a concert the next night and would also be meeting with Ji Chen alone, Ye Yuntang felt a vague sense of unease.

Lin Xiaoqiao's case remains unsolved, and her relationship with Ji Chen is still unclear.

There is an unseen danger in Mengmeng meeting with Ji Chen alone.

"Mom, I'm going home tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning.

Ye Yuntang returned home and handed a box to Mengmeng.

When Mengmeng saw what was in the box, her eyes widened in surprise.
