Zong Du reclined the seat and pressed his body against hers. “Good girl, just relax.”
He lowered his head and kissed her moist eyes.
His gentle tone and actions made it seem as if she were his beloved, held tenderly in his heart.
Xi Yue, feeling aggrieved, clung to his shoulder, and her tears flew uncontrollably.
Zong Du easily pulled down her pants, his fingers gently stroking the scar on her upper abdomen.
Xi Yue trembled, unable to suppress a soft moan.
He touched her face with satisfaction, “Took your medicine?”
Xi Yue nodded.
Zong Du smiled, “Good girl, save a condom.”
With that, he lifted one of her legs.
Xi Yue obediently relaxed her body, cooperating as he removed her pants.
Her skin, exposed to the cool air, shivered in response. Her overused body could no longer endure his intensity.
Just as Xi Yue was bracing herself with a pale face, Zong Du produced a bottle of lubricant from nowhere.
Seeing her surprise, Zong Du leaned in, kissing her eyes with a smile, “See, I’m good to you.”
The cold, sticky substance was applied, making Xi Yue’s fingers curl and the corners of her eyes turn pink with grievance.
Zong Du kissed her, undoing his belt with one hand.
Just as he was about to proceed, both of their phones vibrated simultaneously.
They exchanged glances and picked up their phones.
Xi Yue saw it was a call from Fang Mo and quickly hung up, switching her phone to airplane mode.
Then she looked at Zong Du. Unlike her, Zong Du answered his call.
Xi Yue felt a sense of relief, thinking this might be the end for now.
But to her surprise, Zong Du didn’t stop. He held the phone with one hand and lifted her leg with the other, leaning in—
Xi Yue’s eyes widened, “No—”
Zong Du raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly, “Hello.”
Xi Yue immediately raised her hand and bit her finger.
“Brother Zong, it’s me.” Lin Yanyan’s timid voice came through the phone.
“I know.” Xi Yue didn’t dare breathe, biting her finger harder to avoid making any inappropriate sounds.
Zong Du started to move slowly, his breathing still steady, “You got home?”
“Yes,” Lin Yanyan sighed, “My brother scolded you, saying that you took me out but didn’t bring me back home.”
Zong Du chuckled lowly, and his movements became more vigorous, “Sorry, something urgent came up.”
Xi Yue’s vision went black from the overwhelming pleasure. And her body tensed up.
Her intense reaction greatly pleased Zong Du. His abdomen tightened, and he stopped moving, switching to caressing her lips with his fingers, his voice hoarse, “Apologize to your brother for me, tell him I’ll come by tonight to make amends. And tell him to have the contract ready for signing.”
“Got it, your business won’t be forgotten,” Lin Yanyan replied casually, “I was just thinking, that neighbor Mr. Wang, is he planning to propose to Xi Yue?”
Zong Du paused, “Hmm?”
Hearing her name, Xi Yue instinctively perked up.
“You left me on the roadside earlier, did you go back to find Xi Yue? Are you afraid she might be deceived? Or...” Lin Yanyan trailed off.
Zong Du grabbed Xi Yue with one hand, turning her over.
Xi Yue let out a surprised “ah,” now lying on top of Zong Du.
The sudden change in position made her miss Lin Yanyan’s last words. Her low cry wasn’t quiet, and Lin Yanyan naturally heard it on the other end.
Lin Yanyan paused, puzzled, “Brother Zong, is someone with you?”
“Hmm.” Zong Du’s voice grew even lower.
Lin Yanyan, “Sounds like a woman?”
“Hmm.” Zong Du didn’t deny it.
Lin Yanyan fell silent.
Zong Du pinched Xi Yue’s lower abdomen, the soft yet tight feeling pleasing him immensely, “I have something to do, bye.”
Xi Yue finally withdrew her fingers, one hand bracing against the car roof, the other holding onto the handle, speaking cautiously, “Miss Lin suspects something.”
Zong Du propped one hand behind his head, looking at her, “Good girl...”
Xi Yue bit her lip, grabbing the front handle to adjust her position.
Amid the physical collision, Xi Yue felt like she was forgetting something, not noticing the figure in the bushes at the northwest corner of the parking lot.
After a heated sex, Xi Yue lay on the seat, regaining her strength, while Zong Du changed into spare clothes.
Due to the position, his clothes were also messy this time.
...
Zong Du dropped Xi Yue off at the bus stop nearest to the Zong Family.
He drove off first, and she took the bus home afterward.
Zhuang Yi saw her looking exhausted, with her clothes sweaty and wrinkled, assuming she was tired from dance practice.
He brought her some snacks and milk from the kitchen, telling Xi Yue to rest in her room.
Xi Yue took a bath and lay down.
Half asleep, her phone rang. “Hello.”
“Yue, I need to go on a business trip and has no money. Can you give me some?”
Xi Yue instantly opened her eyes, “How much?”
“Come on, just a few tens of thousands for now, so that I can get through this week.” Xi Kuoshan paused, then tentatively asked, “Yue, how much money do you have?”
Xi Yue closed her eyes in the darkness, recalling Zong Du’s words in the car.
Her dad’s in debt again, and he’s coming to her again.
“All these years, our family couldn’t afford a house, making you and your mom live with the Zong Family. I feel guilty,” Xi Kuoshan sighed, “I saw a house recently. If we can buy it, our family won’t have to live apart! Yue, daddy also wants to reunite with you and your mom. It’s just two million, do you have it? Or could you borrow it from Mr. Zong? Our family—”
Xi Yue calmly interrupted him, “First, I don’t have money. Second, buying a house is your business, not mine. Third, I don’t even have ten thousand, let alone two million!”
Xi Kuoshan became furious, “Xi Yue, I’m your father! Don’t talk that kind of bullshit, and just give me the money!”
“No!” Xi Yue hung up without hesitation.
...
When she woke up again, it was daylight outside. Stretching in bed, Xi Yue glanced at her phone, seeing it was just past six.
The master bedroom upstairs was still quiet, but there were footsteps in the first-floor hallway.
Feeling uncomfortable, Xi Yue took some ointment from the medicine box, applying it despite the discomfort.
Zong Du was rough with her, and she often got hurt. Over time, she learned to handle minor issues herself.
Xi Yue changed her clothes and came out, seeing Zhuang Yi busy in the kitchen. “Mom, why are you in the kitchen?” Xi Yue frowned, approaching.
The piano teacher cherished her hands and, in Xi Yue’s memory, her mother disliked the kitchen.
Zhuang Yi smiled sweetly, her gestures full of undeniable charm, “Mr. Zong came back and wanted some soup I made.”
Xi Yue’s heart skipped a beat. Mr. Zong...no wonder.
Not Zong Du, but the senior.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the usually round-collared cheongsam wearer had chosen a high-neck one today.
Zhuang Yi’s exquisite shoulder and neck lines were accentuated, appearing especially alluring in the morning light. Like a well-watered flower.
Seeing Xi Yue staring, Zhuang Yi thought something was wrong, quickly checking herself and adjusting her updo, “What’s wrong? Is something off?”
Xi Yue’s gaze followed her hand, passing over her ear. As Zhuang Yi lowered her head, a red mark appeared on her fair neck.
Xi Yue instinctively looked away, her fingers unconsciously gripping the seam of her clothes. “No, you look... really pretty today.”Zhuang Yi smiled and gave her a playful pat. “You naughty girl, even teasing your own mother.”Xi Yue’s voice was hoarse. “Have you... seen him recently?”Ever since that incident when she was eighteen, Xi Yue had never called Xi Kuoshan “Dad“ again. When she had to refer to him, she either called him “he“ or used his full name.Zhuang Yi’s smile faltered, and she sighed. “I saw him a few days ago. He’s... doing fine.”Xi Yue thought of the missing vase from the fourth floor and the new debts they owed, and her chest tightened with anxiety.Zhuang Yi glanced toward the kitchen. “The soup is almost ready. Later, I’ll serve Senior Zong and Mrs first, then leave a bowl for Mr. Zong. You can take it upstairs.”“No!” Xi Yue quickly refused. “...He can come down to eat.”“Mr. Zong was busy until late last night
When Zong Du came downstairs, it was just in time for lunch. As he entered the dining room, he saw Mrs. Zong sitting in front of a table, looking displeased.He pulled out a chair and sat down. “What’s wrong?”Mrs. Zong frowned. “Nothing but your father. He came back late last night and left again this morning without even eating.”For the past few years, Zong Yuhai rarely came home. When he did, it was like clocking in—sleeping in the bedroom and leaving as soon as he woke up.Mrs. Zong was very dissatisfied with this.Zong Du smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. “Huh, he’s quite busy.”Mrs. Zong was unhappy. “Come on, he’s not a boy. Why does he still work so hard? Isn’t it enough that you’re here? He should spend more time with me.”Zong Du didn’t respond.Mrs. Zong sighed. “How are things progressing with Yanyan?”Zong Du made a sound of acknowledgment. “Fine.”Mrs. Zong’s eyes lit up. “Going okay? Can I start having
The man’s urgent kisses were accompanied by the removal of clothing, making Xi Yue both flustered and embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment before softening her body, cooperating with his movements and leaning into him. Just as her clothes were wide open and she was completely naked, Zong Du suddenly stopped.Xi Yue opened her eyes in confusion, seeing Zong Du still fully dressed, looking at her with clear eyes. Only she stood naked by the window, her whole body enveloped in a blush. Instinctively, Xi Yue raised her arms to cover her chest, with goosebumps rising on her skin. Her eyes were moist as she silently questioned him.Zong Du’s gaze darkened as he scanned her body. Her body were exquisite, her skin as white and smooth as always, covered in his marks. Just like yesterday. But he had never touched her face. Her small face was noticeably swollen on the left side, with a bruise at the corner of her mouth.
As soon as Zong Du arrived at the Administration Building, the waiting principal immediately came to greet him. “Mr. Zong Du, this way, please.”Entering the office, the secretary dismissed everyone else. The principal respectfully handed Zong Du a cup of tea. “Mr. Zong Du, I have investigated the matter you asked about.”Zong Du accepted the tea and looked at him. “The people on the list are behaving normally. I didn’t find anything unusual,” the principal said, looking puzzled.Last night, Zong Du had sent an email to his private inbox, asking him to investigate the entry and exit records of all school counselors over the past three years, especially those who traveled alone with students.Zong Du frowned, his dark eyes deepening. “Huh, quite cautious.”The principal was stunned. “What?”Zong Du put away the documents and instructed, “Well, for the time being...”...Xi Yue found out that Cui Tiantian was practicing dan
Xi Yue’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened?”Zhuang Yi tried to appear strong. “It’s nothing, I’m fine.”But the more she said that, the more worried Xi Yue became. As Zhuang Yi shook her head, Xi Yue noticed several fresh red scratches behind her ear, swollen and extending into her collar. It was unclear how far they went.Standing in the rain, her shoes were muddy, her hair disheveled, and her clothes pulled out of shape. Her hands were ice-cold, and Xi Yue, holding them, felt like she was holding ice.Xi Yue noticed the red mark on her neck. “Did you... provoke Mrs.?”Had Mrs found out?Zhuang Yi shook her head repeatedly. “No, I didn’t do anything. I was just talking with Mrs, and then Second Miss suddenly came out and hit me.”Seeing Zhuang Yi’s innocent and aggrieved expression, countless thoughts raced through Xi Yue’s mind.“Tell me what happened,” Xi Yue said, looking into Zhuang Yi’s eyes. “Don’t leave
Zong Fu, feeling satisfied, said smugly, “So you think I’m right, right?”Zong Du’s gaze fell on the large red stain beneath Xi Yue. The white wool carpet was speckled with blood stains...He said coldly, “But you’ve dirtied my carpet.”Zong Fu looked down and saw the mess on the carpet. She frowned and looked at Xi Yue, who was unconscious on the floor. “Xi Yue is so inconsiderate. You brought back from abroad...it’s quite expensive, huh?”Mrs. Zong, who had been silent since Zong Du entered, finally put down her teacup and called for the butler.“Take her away, and clean the carpet. See if it can be restored.”The butler quickly stepped forward, hesitated, and then looked at Zong Du. “Should... Xi Yue be sent to the hospital?”“No need.” Zong Du adjusted his cufflinks. “She should be punished for her mistakes.”Before Xi Yue completely lost consciousness, she heard Zong Du say this....Late at night,
Zong Fu started complaining after the fact, “Mom! Dad’s gone too far!”Mrs. Zong ignored her and turned to Zong Du, “Du, has your father encountered some trouble recently?”He wouldn’t be this furious without a reason.“Not exactly trouble,” Zong Du gave Zong Fu a sidelong glance. “The Board of Directors is about to have an election. We need to be extra cautious.”Mrs. Zong understood immediately. She clasped her hands together and turned to smack Zong Fu forcefully, “You nearly ruined everything!”Zong Yuhai was just a collateral relative of the Zong family. Despite his efforts over the years, he was still suppressed by the main family. A few years ago, he had managed to climb to the position of chairman of Zong Group, giving their family a bit of breathing room. Now, with the new chairman election approaching, if any scandal broke out and was used against them...Having figured it out, Mrs. Zong turned and smacked Zong Fu a few mor
“Come on.” Fang Mo said nonchalantly. “Just because I have a girlfriend doesn’t mean I can’t have friends. You’re much more important than others.”Xi Yue felt both warmed and exasperated. “If your crush hears you say that, your chances of confessing will be ruined.”“So be it. I’m not eager to confess anyway.” Fang Mo mumbled, looking uncomfortable.Although they pretended to be a couple, Xi Yue knew that Fang Mo had been secretly in love with someone for a long time. For some unknown reason, he hadn’t confessed yet, claiming he wasn’t worthy of her. Xi Yue hoped his secret love would succeed.“Alright, you should take care of yourself first! You said you wanted to be a dancer, but look how careless you are with your body!” Fang Mo scolded her, shaking his head.Xi Yue grinned sheepishly.Noticing the dried blood on her hand, Fang Mo took a wet towel. “Come on, let me clean that for you.”He gently held Xi Yue’s delicate, pale wrist.
