12Chase was truly a bold person and someone who kept their promise as well.When I exited through the door, he was already in the elevator. We bumped into each other as I was about to head downstairs.If I had come a little later, he would have come to my house already."He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Chase wrapped his arms around my waist naturally and sniffed me like a puppy.I was so tired that I collapsed in his arms. "This is all part of your plan, isn't it?"Chase did not convict Raven at once. Instead, he left Raven with some hope and just watched how exhausted Raven would get from working for the empty hopes like an outsider.He even invited me, who was Raven's girlfriend, to join in the fun with him.How vicious.Chase raised his hand and pinched my nose. "Don't make me out to be someone so complicated. All I want to do with you is..."He glanced downward with a charming smile.Chase took me back to his house again and pointed proudly to his room as he anno
14Previously, I had been trying to curry favor with Raven's mother. Now that she knew Raven had successfully proposed to me, she was very excited and chatted with me over a video call for nearly two hours, urging Raven to marry me as soon as possible.I pretended to be shy. "Didn't Raven say that there was a headhunter who wanted to poach him? Won't our marriage get in the way of things?"Raven waved his hand repeatedly. "I'm saving trouble for my new company by settling one of my life's biggest matters before joining them, aren't I? If I were to apply for leave to get married as soon as they recruit me, they'd probably get so frustrated.""Oh wow. He can really change everything to be in his favor," I thought.I nodded in agreement. "That makes sense."Before taking a shower, I put some sleeping pills in Raven's drink. By the time I came out, he was already fast asleep.I glanced at him in disgust and went to the study to continue working.My internal evaluation was coming to
17I had no idea who found an influencer to talk about the matter and add fuel to the fire, but this scandal between Raven and Kiara remained a hot topic for a long time.In the end, the impact was so great that both of them were fired by their companies.The headhunter who wanted to poach Raven before this avoided him at all costs now.Happily, I discussed with Chase how to deliver the final blow to Raven."When I approached you at first, I thought you would be timid and think that I was a pervert. I didn't expect that you would be even crueller than I was," Chase suddenly said.I was stunned for a moment. It turned out that I had always felt that he was dangerous and he felt that I was cruel."I loved Raven before this, and that is why I hated him so much for cheating on me."Chase nodded and circled his arms around my waist. "But I'm quite grateful to Raven for allowing us to come together."Tonight, Chase seemed to be more sentimental.When I was in a daze at night, Chase
Author: Ni HaiI had a crush on an uncle for nine years. I was tortured by how people looked at me in the secular world.Last week, I confessed my love to him, but he refused me. This week, he brought his new girlfriend to my house for dinner.When he went to the bathroom, I blocked him and asked, "Did you find a girlfriend so that I could give up?"He answered peacefully, "Because my heart is vacuous."1Starting from the time when I was a freshman, I had a crush on Adrian Lawson.At that time, he was 35 years old. He came and went freely with his SLR camera. Traveling around the world, he shot many photos that were highly praised by other people.I was also studying photography. I heard his legends and admired him. I wanted to be his pupil, but I dared not say it directly, for fear that it might be a burdensome relationship for him.My method was the stupidest. Whenever I had time, I would go to see him with my camera.He usually crossed me out. Most of the time, I was th
4The blind date did not go well. Because of two things, I could no longer stay in the private room and pretend to be refined and cultured.The boy my father introduced to me was called Ethan Stein. He was the one in the hotel that day.What was even absurd was that the real middleman of this blind date was Adrian.After I slammed the door in front of all the people in the room and left, I immediately took out my cell phone and dialed Adrian's number.When I was waiting for the call to go through, I felt the ringing sound was unbearable as if it were a thorn piercing me.Finally, the ringing sound was over, and the call was connected."Adrian, where are you? I want to see you. Now, right now!" I blurted those words out.There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before I heard a woman saying gently, "Please don't worry. What has happened to you? Adrian is in the bathroom now. I'll tell him later."My heart at once sunk to the bottom. Coldness spread along my li
7Ethan was a little frightened. He blushed and swallowed several times. Then, he stammered and said, "O-Okay. There are empty rooms in my house."My tone became more and more ambiguous. "What should happen between us has happened. It doesn't matter whether there is an empty room or not."Ethan blinked his eyes several times and was completely at a loss what to do.I looked provocatively at Adrian, looking forward to his reaction.But he just walked past me at a fast pace and strode to the off-road vehicle. Then he opened the car door."Samantha, I'll send you home."I was silent for a moment. Then, I held Ethan's hand and said with a sweet smile, "No, Uncle Lawson. Please go back by yourself."After saying so, I went in the opposite direction with Ethan and got in his car.After we closed the door, Ethan seemed to be thinking about something complicated for a long time.As I adjusted my seat, I explained, "Don't be afraid. I was just joking. I won't go to your house. Please
9It was late at night when the plane landed. After checking all the ways to return, I found that I had to wait for at least eight hours.Sitting on the chair at the airport, I mulled over the words that Adrian had sent me and had recalled.All kinds of thoughts kept flashing through my mind. My soul was filled with questions and answers, and my mood was changing because of them. As a result, I was covered in cold sweat.I even morbidly felt that everyone passing by was looking at me with sympathy.The passage of time seemed to be slower when I was waiting. I wanted to do something to change my mood. At this time, Ethan sent me a friend request again.It seemed that only with him could I openly talk about the complicated situation.We were about the same age, and he was the only outsider who knew the load on my mind.Was he an outsider?Before I could answer this question, I had accepted his friend request with my emotions taking the upper hand."Haven't you gone to bed yet?"
11I knocked hard on the door three times, and there was suddenly a dead silence inside.A few seconds later, Ethan asked as if he had just woken up, "Who is it?""Open the door." I had run out of patience and knocked on the door a few more times in a row. "Now! Right now!"After I heard a series of rustling sounds, Ethan came close to the door and said pitifully, "I haven't washed up yet, nor have I put on my clothes..."He was finding an excuse! I roared at him in a low voice. "Is it you who haven't put on your clothes, or is it Adrian who hasn't put on his clothes?"I didn't know what they were busy with. After another two minutes, the door finally opened from the inside.Ethan was standing straight against the wall as if he were a child waiting to be punished for doing something wrong. Adrian was smoking at the end of the bed with open legs.The white smoke wreathed before his face so that he looked solemn and indifferent. His tie was loosely wrapped around his neck and he
