After swimming for a while, Xia Ling felt a bit thirsty. She called out to Lin Yixun, who was not far away, "Yixun, I’m feeling a bit thirsty. I’m going to buy so drinks. What would you like to drink?"
"Anything."
"Anything is the hardest to choose."
"Well then... get a can of Coke."
"Alright, just wait here for a mont. I’ll be right back."
After Xia Ling left, Lin Yixun lay by the edge of the swimming pool, continuing to enjoy the scenery. Although the sun had already set, the afterglow of the sunset still lingered. The afterglow was divided by the clouds, sprinkled on the surface of the sea like clusters of flas, igniting the sponge.
Lin Yixun sincerely marveled at the power of nature, that even a casual stroke of the brush could depict such breathtaking scenery.
As Lin Yixun quietly admired the scenery in front of her, the sky gradually darkened. Suddenly, ripples in the water behind her brought her attention back. She turned around with a smile.
"You’re back?"
However, in the next mont, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by shock and vigilance, "Why are you here?"
"Why, can’t it be ?" The man’s lips curled into a cold smile.
As Lin Yixun tried to flee, he easily blocked her path, trapping her between the pool wall and his naked chest.
He and Lin Yixun were so close that they could feel each other’s body heat. The sudden physical contact made Lin Yixun’s hair stand on end.
She hated this proximity and feared this touch, which reminded her uncontrollably of that heart-wrenching night, but she didn’t want history to repeat itself.
"Leng Yixiu, let go!" Lin Yixun pushed him hard, her fingers brushing against his burning chest before quickly pulling back. Seeing that Leng Yixiu had no intention of letting her go, she couldn’t help but angrily say, "If you don’t let go of , I’ll call for help!"
A trace of ridicule flashed in the man’s eyes. Fearlessly, he said, "Lin Yixun, you can call louder. I’d like to see if anyone will co to save you!"
Lin Yixun didn’t believe him and imdiately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help! Help..."
Her voice was loud and quickly drew the attention of others in the pool. Just when Lin Yixun was secretly relieved, the man pulled her into his arms, smiling as he explained to the onlookers, "She is my girlfriend. We just had a quarrel..."
Speaking fluent English, the man explained to everyone, and his handso appearance and eloquent speech quickly deceived them, causing the crowd to disperse like birds and beasts.
Lin Yixun couldn’t believe how easily these people were deceived by Leng Yixiu, but that was the outco. She reluctantly called for help again, but no one paid attention to her anymore.
"See, no matter how much noise you make, they will think it’s just a little quarrel between a young couple," the man said with a chuckle.
Lin Yixun let out a cold laugh and said mockingly, "Young couple? There’s no such deep bond between Mr. Leng and . You and Miss Cheng are the perfect match. I don’t dare to ddle again."
The man’s lips tightened, and he said coldly, "At least you have so self-awareness."
"The price of lacking self-awareness was too heavy. I suffered once, and I no longer have the capital to be overconfident." The one ti she overestimated herself led her from being the mayor’s daughter to falling into the abyss, and that painful lesson was enough to make her rember it for the rest of her life.
Hearing this, the man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a myriad of emotions seed to flash in his eyes. He gently opened his lips to speak, "Lin Yixun, about what happened back then..."
