Roses in Flames

A chilling glint appeared in Xiao Lin's long, dark eyes. He gripped Ye Yuntang's chin tightly with his large hand. "Why should everything be up to you? You can flirt whenever you want, and not flirt whenever you want. Am I your plaything?"

His chest heaved slightly, and his eyes were red-rimmed, clearly indicating that he was quite angry with her.

Ye Yuntang didn't understand what he was angry about. She stopped flirting with him, shouldn't he be happy?

During this time, he had been resisting her advances.

Her chin was pinched so hard it hurt. She tried to slap his big hand away, but he lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.

This kiss was tinged with intense hostility.

Ye Yuntang's lips were churning painfully from his grinding, and she tasted the metallic, metallic flavor of blood between her teeth.

She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away forcefully.

He remained as still as a giant mountain.

He pried open her lips and teeth, and went straight in.

Her breath was stolen, and she couldn't catch her breath. She pushed against his chest with even more force.

"Ugh... Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you?"

The muscles in his chest and arms bulged out.

He seemed unable to hear her voice or sense her resistance.

The inexplicable rage in his chest consumed his reason.

His large hand, which was wrapped around her waist, slipped inside her clothes.

Rough fingertips traced across the snow-white skin of her back.

Ye Yuntang shuddered. Her eyes widened as she stared at the man before her in disbelief. "What do you want to do?"

He bit her lip, his voice low and husky, "Haven't you always wanted to do this? I'll grant your wish!"

After saying that, his kiss moved from the corner of her lips to her slender white neck.

Ye Yuntang's mind was buzzing; she didn't understand how things had developed to this point.

Unable to push him away, she simply stopped resisting.

She closed her eyes briefly, then her voice was frighteningly calm, "Go to my room, I've prepared a condom."

Xiao Lin's movements as he undressed her suddenly froze.

He raised his deep black eyes to look at her, and their gazes met.

She smiled, her red lips curving upwards. "I know that one day you will succumb to my temptation, so I prepared a condom in the room beforehand."

These words were like a bucket of icy water poured over Xiao Lin's head.

The burning, violent lust within him was instantly extinguished.

He straightened her disheveled clothes, pushed her away, and a dark storm raged in his eyes. "You are not Daji, and I am not King Zhou. Don't think you're so charming."

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Yuntang to say anything more, he opened the door and strode away.

Ye Yuntang leaned against the door frame with her slender body, and remained motionless for a long time.

Good, I'll draw a line between myself and him and stop flirting with him to avoid falling for him and losing control.

Through this period of time together, she seemed to have developed feelings for him that she shouldn't have.

Otherwise, why would I feel a little bit uncomfortable when I see him treating Bai Chuwei so well?

This feeling is too dangerous.

She can no longer fall in love with any man.

Especially a difficult man like Xiao Lin.

……

Sunday.

Ye Yuntang went on a sea trip with her best friend Xia Wan and assistant Xiao Wei.

Ye Yuntang was wearing a light green strappy swimsuit with a semi-transparent veil draped over her shoulders.

Xiao Wei just graduated from university, and she likes to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.

After taking a few photos, Xiaowei posted them on her WeChat Moments.

As soon as she posted it on WeChat Moments, Cheng Lei liked it.

Cheng Lei rode in Xiao Lin's car to the welfare home to bring warmth to the elderly and, incidentally, spread knowledge about fraud prevention.

On the way back, Xiao Lin drove while Cheng Lei sat in the passenger seat scrolling through his WeChat Moments.

"Boss, Xiaowei and Sister Yuntang went to the beach. Wow, Sister Yuntang looks absolutely stunning in her swimsuit!"

Xiao Lin's features were taut, his dark eyes sharp. "All you do all day is stare at your female colleagues' WeChat Moments?"

Cheng Lei scratched his head. "Boss, I'm innocent! I just saw Xiao Wei's Moments. Besides, who doesn't like looking at beautiful women? I just think Sister Yun Tang is even prettier than big stars."

Xiao Lin, "..."

As Xiao Lin passed through a small alley, he caught a glimpse of three boys bullying a tall, thin, fair-skinned boy.

The three boys were all tall and strong. Two of them held the shoulders of the tall, thin, and fair-skinned boy, trying to force him to kneel on the ground. The boy struggled desperately, his handsome, thin face turning bright red.

The boy looked familiar, and Xiao Lin quickly remembered that he had seen him on Ye Yuntang's WeChat Moments.

It's her younger brother.

Xiao Lin immediately stopped the car and walked towards the alley.

"You stinking mute, kneel down right now!" Ye Yuhang raised his foot, clad in limited-edition sneakers. "You accidentally stepped on my shoes, so kneel down and lick them clean for me!"

Ye Mo's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

"A mute is a mute, she can't even beg for mercy. I heard your sister was dumped by Fu Shili and became a divorced woman. Ha, with that vixen-like look of hers, she's obviously not a virtuous wife. She probably cheated on her husband, that's why she got dumped!"

Seeing Ye Yuhang humiliate his sister, Ye Mo was furious and wanted to rush forward and fight Ye Yuhang to the death.

"What, you want to beat me up? Look at yourself, a mute who can't even speak properly, what makes you think you can compare to me? In the Ye family, I'm the apple of your eye. You dare touch a single hair on my head, and I'll beat you to death!"

"Kneel down right now and lick my shoes clean, or you're not leaving here today!"

Just as Ye Mo was about to be forced to his knees by the other two boys, a deep, cold voice suddenly rang out, "Let him go!"

Xiao Lin has arrived.

He was wearing a police uniform and hat today; his features were cold and sharp, and his aura was imposing and intimidating.

When Ye Yuhang and the two boys saw Xiao Lin and the police uniform he was wearing, their expressions all changed.

However, the three came from wealthy families and were used to being arrogant and domineering.

Ye Yuhang, the leader, stuck out his neck and said in a fierce and aggressive tone, "Officer, you've come at the right time! Ye Mo stepped on my limited edition sneakers and stole my watch worth over a million dollars. Arrest him right now, and make sure he rots in jail!"

Ye Mo shook his head, his face pale.

The two boys behind Ye Yuhang immediately grabbed Ye Mo's backpack and dumped all the contents onto the ground.

One of the boys picked up a watch and said, "Officer, look, the space watch is here."

The three boys exchanged glances, all of them looking somewhat gloating and smug.

Faced with being framed, Ye Mo was speechless. He trembled all over, and his eyes reddened.

Xiao Lin gently patted Ye Mo's arm. "I believe you didn't steal it."

Ye Mo was stunned. He hadn't expected the police officer to believe him.

Ye Yuhang was furious. "Officer, it was clearly him who stole it! He was caught red-handed! Are you trying to cover for him?"

Xiao Lin's tall and aloof figure stood in front of Ye Mo, his police uniform impeccably tailored, exuding an intimidating aura.

His gaze swept over Ye Yuhang and the other two like knives. "Since you say Ye Mo stole the watch, then hand it over to me. I'll take it back to the station for fingerprint analysis. Whose fingerprints are on the watch will be immediately clear. If Ye Mo's fingerprints aren't on it, you're framing him, and even if you're minors, you'll be held legally responsible!"

As soon as Xiao Lin spoke, Ye Yuhang and the others' expressions changed drastically.
