This was the first time John took so long to reply to her messages, and Diana felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. A strange sourness spread within her, making her feel a bit gloomy.
Oh well, it's time to sleep.
She turned off the lamp on the bedside table.
Just as she had arranged the blanket and lay down for a while, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from outside.
At this hour, who could it be?
Diana furrowed her brow, and the first person that came to her mind was that mischievous Tony.
She closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
However, the knocking persisted, every few seconds.
This calm rhythm didn't seem like Tony's style...
Diana opened her eyes, got out of bed, and walked towards the door. She took a quick glance through the peephole.
With just one look, she saw someone she didn't expect.
Diana's pupils slightly dilated, and her heartbeat skipped a beat. Almost instantly, she
John's sharp eyes seemed to possess a penetrating power, seeing through Diana's thoughts clearly. Diana inexplicably felt a bit guilty and instinctively shrunk her neck. "Haha, you really are... pure and innocent," she laughed, trying to lighten the mood. John's eyes narrowed as he leaned in and pressed his lips against her cherry blossom-colored ones. He didn't close his eyes; his deep gaze fixed upon the fluttering eyelashes of the person beneath him as two flames slowly ignited. His lips covered hers, and his tongue parted her teeth, seeking out her own. They intertwined in a dance of passion. His hands didn't idle either, casually moving over her chest, causing Diana's clothes to instantly come undone. She was shocked. Wide-eyed, she grasped his face and gasped, "How... how are you so skilled?!" That arrogant man, could it be that he had slept with others behind her back?! John held her fingertips an
John's body seemed to tense up for a moment, and then he whispered, "I can't sleep." "But you're a patient. You need to rest well and close your eyes." "Even if I close my eyes, I can't fall asleep." Diana: ... Why does John, who is sick, seem stubborn for no reason? Diana thought for a moment. "How about I sing you a song? As you listen, you might just fall asleep." "No need," John promptly refused. She sang, and it was truly awful. Diana felt upset. "Do you think I sing poorly?" "No, I don't," he replied. Upon hearing his words, Diana cleared her throat and started singing, "Underneath the big bridge by the gate, a group of ducks swim. Come, come, let's count them, two, four, six, seven, eight..." "Childish," John said. Diana: ... Well, he's a patient now. It's not worth arguing with him. So she changed to a different song. "Who seduces and dares to pluck the for
Luke was taken aback. Was she expecting him to humble himself before her? A shadow of gloom flickered across his face. After all this time, Diana's arrogant personality hadn't changed! But if she could forgive him, everything else was insignificant. Moreover, winning Diana back would undoubtedly be a significant blow to John... John... The thought of that person filled Luke's heart with hatred. He immediately said, "Diana, I apologize to you. I was in the wrong all along. I was blind and didn't appreciate you. I'm sorry!" "As long as you can forgive me, I'll do anything you say! I genuinely want to be with you now!" After finishing his words, he anxiously looked at Diana. However, Diana didn't show the expected signs of softening; instead, she crossed her arms and frowned in dissatisfaction. "Luke, apologizing so casually is such an easy thing that anyone can do. Do you think that will er
John lifted his phoenix-like eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning. "So... little girl, what do you think of me?" After hearing Luke's words, Diana stood in front of the car, remaining silent for a moment. Just when Luke thought he had persuaded her. Diana slightly raised her head, and then her cherry lips moved. "I know." Luke widened his eyes, "You... you know?" "I know what kind of person John is, better than you do." Diana flicked a strand of hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear, a glimmer of coldness in her eyes. "He is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than scum like you!" "He is strong, devoted, gentle, kind... He possesses countless wonderful qualities that you, scum like you, can never compare to!" Upon hearing those words, Jackson, sitting in the car, coughed violently, almost spitting out his drink. Being strong and devoted seemed acceptable to him. But gentle and
"Hey, baby sis!" A beautifully chiseled face appeared on the screen. Ben had dyed his hair chestnut brown, applied light makeup on his face, and was wearing a black jacket, adding a touch of coolness to his original handsomeness. "Ben!" Diana was also thrilled. Ben had been going through intense training recently, and the company had hired a famous musician to produce an album for them. It seemed like it was about to be released. Diana recalled the timeline, and it should be within these two days when the album would be launched. "Diana! I'm releasing an album, and I wanted you to be the first to hear it, but the company won't allow me to reveal it. It's driving me crazy!" "Don't worry, Ben. I'll make sure to buy it as soon as it's out. I'll buy ten copies, a hundred copies!" "Diana... my dear sister, I love you~" Ben's face was filled with emotions. His words made Diana burst into laughter. "Kis
"But Professor, I remember Colin's research direction was nebulae. Suddenly switching to studying black holes, especially such a profound topic, he might struggle to adapt, won't he...?" Nathaniel tried to speak politely, but deep inside, he was extremely frustrated. "What a joke!" He had been studying the direction of black holes for many years, reading countless books and materials. Now Colin suddenly decides to compete with him? Is this some kind of joke? As expected, when Dean Blackwell heard his words, he nodded slightly. "Indeed, Colin's sudden interest in this field requires him to learn and grasp more knowledge than you, so I've given him an extra month." Nathaniel remained silent. One month? He had been studying this for a full four years! "I've reviewed his research proposal, and compared to you, he lacks some detailed theories and references. It's a bit vague..." Dean Blackwell said. U
Colin didn't say anything. After bidding farewell, he turned and walked away. Leah quickly caught up with him. Once they were out of Dean Blackwell's sight, Colin turned to her. "What do you want from me?" "I heard you've been busy lately, not eating properly. It's not good for your health, especially..." Leah's gaze fell on his arm, and she let out a slight cough. "If you're injured." Colin's mouth twitched. She was surprised she could bring herself to say it. "Colin!" Just as they reached the ground floor, they heard a clear and vibrant call. Leah turned her head and saw the girl named Audrey from last time, eagerly running towards them. And... she was carrying a lunchbox too! "Is it you?!" Upon seeing Leah, Audrey's expression instantly turned sour. She coldly snorted and pushed her lunch box towards Colin. "Colin, it's past lunchtime now. You must be starving. I personally coo
But after getting married, Colin soon discovered that it was all a hollow promise made by Audrey! She never had any intention of saving Diana, nor did she genuinely care for Colin. It was simply the person she had always admired, showing no interest in her, which greatly wounded Audrey's self-esteem. It was like a spoiled child from childhood who would do anything to obtain the toy they desired. Yet, once they finally obtained it, they would discard it like a worthless possession. She remembered that after their marriage, Colin lived a deeply unhappy life. He wanted a divorce but faced constant threats from Audrey... Diana took a deep breath. In this life, that woman would never touch her brother Colin, not even with a finger! She held onto her phone, steadying her emotions. "Colin doesn't like sweet things?" "Well, that's true. He doesn't." Leah's tone sounded somewhat pitiful. "That's not right
