A Twisted Love Affair-Chapter 65: Love alone _1

Shen Jing tilted her head back and laughed. "Are you afraid of the cold?"

Leaving her by the roadside with only a suit jacket to fend off the cold—this was all she was worth in his world of amusement.

His behavior towards her veered between good and bad, and his occasional ambiguousness left her heart icy.

Zhou Luchen: warm on the outside, cold within.

But what could she do? She possessed both the whimsical desire and the determination to provoke him, driven entirely by the passionate conviction in her heart that favored and adored him alone.

Everything about Zhou Luchen had the power to make a woman like her sink deeper into debauchery.

He’s lying to you, Shen Jing. He’s just placating you, Shen Jing. He doesn’t love you, Shen Jing. She knew this in her heart, yet she resolutely chose to forget. She turned back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips—warm and thin.

At her invitation, the alcohol went to Zhou Luchen’s head, making him greedy. He retaliated by pressing her head down, asserting control, and pushing her into the pool.

She lost her balance, screamed, and stumbled into the swimming pool.

PLOP—

Water splashed everywhere.

The icy water mercilessly poured into her ears and nose, stinging her eyes shut. The man’s palm gripped her waist, and Zhou Luchen quickly and easily lifted her, raising her out of the water.

Shen Jing gasped for air, her mind a complete blank.

Drenched, her hair soaked as well, she was met with another round of aggressive kissing.

The pool water was frigid, but thankfully not too deep. She huddled in his embrace. "Cold."

Zhou Luchen reached for a concealed panel and adjusted the pool’s thermostat.

In just a few minutes, the water warmed, emitting wisps of steam and turning their skin a burning red. freёweɓnovel_com

He supported her hips as they stood in the pool, their kisses growing increasingly intimate.

Feeling hot, he held her with one arm while his other hand pulled off his soaking wet shirt. His aristocratic fingers lazily undid the buttons, and the popping sound sent shivers of intense, scorching heat through her.

Shen Jing squinted, watching Zhou Luchen.

He ran his fingers through his wet, black, cropped hair, pushing it back to reveal his smooth forehead. Sweat mingled with water droplets, trickling down his resolute profile.

He seemed drunk, yet not entirely. His crimson eyes were glazed over with a layer of haze. His long fingers took her hand, guiding it towards his belt buckle.

Under his gaze, Shen Jing bit her lip, feeling aggrieved as her hand was compelled to move as he directed.

Zhou Luchen, why are you so provocative?

Zhou Luchen let out an ambiguous laugh. "Do you like it?"

Shen Jing lifted her chin slightly. Knowing Zhou Luchen to his very core, she felt a genuine wave of apprehension. "You’re a beast."

"In what way?" he teased.

"A beast in every way."

「Time stretched on.」

After a night in the pool, Shen Jing quickly developed a high fever and couldn’t sleep soundly at all.

Her flushed cheeks rested against the man’s chest, and her hand unintentionally shook him awake. "Zhou Luchen."

His voice was lazy and tired. "Hmm?"

Shen Jing mumbled in her feverish confusion, "My forehead... it’s so hot." She rubbed her forehead against his cool, alert face. "Touch my forehead."

Zhou Luchen raised his hand to her forehead, then threw off the blanket and picked her up. "Be good. We’re going to the hospital."

Trembling, she nodded like a wounded kitten. "We need to go to the hospital to get this fever down."

Zhou Luchen dressed her and then carried her in his arms. Early in the morning, they drove to the nearest hospital.

At the elevator entrance, the housekeeper who had come to prepare breakfast stood stupefied. "Mr. Zhou?"

He acted as if he hadn’t seen her, hurrying past without a word.

The black Lamborghini’s engine revved, and the car shot out of the parking lot like an arrow.

At 8:00 AM, the gates of the high-end residential complex echoed with the piercing roar of the sports car’s engine.
