She burst out chuckling.
Huo Chen got up and stood in front of Wen He. Before she could escape, he bent down and trapped her in the narrow space between his arms.
His warm breath smelled of unspoken desire and alcohol. It made her face tingle.
“Wen He, come back to me. I will give you everything you want!”
The alcohol removed the chains that bound him and allowed him to speak his mind.
Wen He was taken aback by his outburst.
For a long time, her body froze like a statue.
Huo Chen waited quietly for her answer, not realizing how tense he was at that moment.
“Huo Chen…”
Wen He felt herself giving in, so she recalled the moment when he hugged Lu Zhaoyang and the silent look he gave her back in the anteroom in the Golden City. Gradually, her resolve came back and she felt calmer.
“Mr Huo, I’m sorry but I don’t know you very well, so I cannot oblige.”
That was a rejection.
Huo Chen felt his heart sank into an endless abyss.
“Why?”
He asked after a long pause.
He had considered it for days, but still could not come up with a satisfactory answer.
Nevertheless, he understood something…
He could not and would not let her leave him without a fight. Besides, he owed her too much.
Wen He kept her thoughts to herself. It’s because…
You don’t love me.
“It’s because I don’t love you,” Wen He replied out loud with equal parts sarcasm and self-mockery.
Just that simple answer made Huo Chen snapped.
It sparked the rage inside him that was fueled by all the alcohol he consumed and caused him to explode!
Abruptly, Huo Chen pushed her down to the ground. Madness flashed in his eyes as he growled in a low voice, “Do you remember what you said to me back in the Golden Triangle? Who was the one who said she loves me?!”
Wen He looked away and shut her eyes to keep her own chaotic emotions in check.
“That wasn’t me.” Wen He was dead already.
“Very well!”
Huo Chen replied through gritted teeth. He pushed lips against hers into a fierce kiss and pulled at her pajamas.
“Since you refuse to admit the truth, I will use my own way to verify it!”
“Huo Chen!”
Wen He glared at him in disbelief as she felt his hand fondling her inner thigh. She roared incredulously, “What are you doing? Let me go!”
She struggled with her arms and legs but could not overcome his strength. It did not take long for him to remove her clothes.
Wen He’s ears turned red. She felt angry and humiliated. “Huo Chen, are you crazy?! Let me go, what you’re doing is rape!”
She raised her right arm to slap him in the face.
Before she could move, he grabbed her wrists with one hand and pulled them up above her head.
“I won’t let you try that again!”
He lowered his head and nibbled teasingly on her soft earlobe.
“We slept together before. Once we do it again, I will know for sure if you are the one I am looking for.”
“…”
B*stard!
When Huo Chen kissed her again, Wen He waited for his tongue to slip in and bit down hard.
In the next second, she tasted alcohol and blood.
Huo Chen frowned from the pain but did not stop himself. He was going insane. His bloodshot eyes spelled madness and had none of his usual steady composure.
