Chapter 22 I know you're awake

I know you're not asleep

"This weekend, didn't Miss Ye call and ask young master to come back for dinner?" The Aunt Zhang smiled as she looked at her, reminding her with good intentions.

Ye Zi Xuan was startled, she pretended to not understand Aunt Zhang's words, lowered her head, twitched her eyes and said: "Mr. Howe should be very busy."

Hearing that, Aunt Zhang could not help but start worrying, she bitterly looked at Ye Zi Xuan and advised: "Miss Ye, I have worked in Huo Family for so many years, even in this apartment, I have never seen Young Master bring back a woman, Miss Ye is the first, although Young Master looks cold, but in truth, he is a cold and warmhearted person, you …"

A burst of upset took over Ye Zi Xuan's heart. It was not that she did not understand Aunt Zhang's words. But she really wanted to tell Aunt Zhang that she and Huo Jing Yan was just doing a deal.

It was not the kind of feeling she had in mind.

But looking at Aunt Zhang's passionate and expectant look, Ye Zi Xuan couldn't help but think that if she was really with that guy … No, she couldn't think like that. How could he possibly like her?

"Aunt Zhang, I'm a bit tired. I'll head back to my room first." Ye Zi Xuan interrupted the Aunt Zhang's words with a heavy heart. She put down the tableware and left the dining hall in a hurry, heading to his room on the second floor.

"Miss Ye, you only ate …" Aunt Zhang called out a few times, seeing that Ye Zi Xuan did not reply, she shook her head, unsure of what was going on.

After going upstairs to his room, Ye Zi Xuan sat on his bed as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his mind was still thinking about what Aunt Zhang had said.

Her biggest concern now was her father's case. As long as her father was safe, it would all be worth it.

Suppressing his uneasiness and agitation, Ye Zi Xuan who had just finished showering laid down on the bed. Initially, he would think that he could not sleep, but as his mind wandered, he gradually closed his eyes and entered a sweet dreamland.

In the middle of the night, she vaguely heard a trace of water, vaguely opened her eyes, and realized that the light in the bathroom was on. She was shocked, and almost shouted out when she remembered that the only person who could come over at this time was Huo Jing Yan.

He … How did he get here so late?

Ye Zi Xuan didn't know, but she suddenly had the urge not to face him. After all that had happened, she hated how he had played it in the beginning, but because of her father's case, she had to listen to him.

Frowning, she closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath, hoping that he would think she was asleep and let her go.

But...

The crashing sound of the water gradually stopped, and then the sound of the door opening. He was probably done bathing.

The footsteps drew closer and closer to her. Her heart rose to her throat and her eyes widened. The hand that was hidden under the quilt suddenly clenched. She had never been so afraid of his approach.

The blanket was lifted, and she felt a gust of cold wind blow into the blanket. Her spirit was stretched to the extreme, and he seemed to be lying down. The blanket was once again put down.

Just when she thought she could relax, something heavy pressed down on her, and a warm current blew into her small, sensitive ear. "I know you're awake, stop pretending."

Her eyelashes fluttered, and her palms broke out in a cold sweat.

His cold fingers brushed against her red lips, and a tingling sensation spread from her lips to her limbs. The faint smell of alcohol hit her nose, making her feel as if she was slightly drunk.

She was clearly nervous to the point that her eyelashes were constantly moving, yet she still pretended to be asleep. The childish behavior of the little fellow beneath her made Huo Jing Yan want to laugh.

However, he did not expose her. Since she wanted to pretend, she was free to do as she pleased. He only wanted to do what he wanted.

His nimble fingers undid the buttons one by one. His movements were very light, but when his ice-cold fingers touched the warm skin, both of them couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

When his fingers were about to unbutton the third button on her chest, she couldn't help but open her panicked eyes.

He definitely had a very beautiful face, but a man might get angry if he was described as beautiful. If that was the case, then she should be able to compare her unparalleled beauty to his exquisite facial features, possessing absolute allure.

Just like now, his eyes were filled with a hint of lust, as if he could see his own shadow from within. There was also a hint of deeply hidden feelings. She couldn't see it clearly, but she had the urge to escape.

To him, Ye Zi Xuan's eyelashes seemed to tremble in the night wind, but his heart was trembling along with her blink of an eye. The two of them quietly watched each other and quietly approached each other.

The darkness of the night could conceal many things, such as her current panic, and that trace of reluctance. She even thought that she was a mistress that he had hidden away, so when she thought of it, she came over to sleep for the night.

But no matter what, he could save her father.

Although he did not turn on the light, he could still see that her eyes were a little red, as if she was suffering from some grievance. She had a small nose and moist, alluring red lips, and when he kissed her, he could feel her avoiding him.

The light in his eyes dimmed. In the next instant, he suddenly pressed down on her body and roughly sucked her red lips.

"Ugh …" Forced to endure his demands, she instinctively wanted to resist. However, his hands were tightly pressed against her wrist, preventing her from moving.

There was a slight taste of alcohol on his mouth, and gradually, her head felt like it was being drunk. Her mind was not clear either, and she did not know when this kiss had reached her.

Within the formless, an ambiguous moan came out from her mouth. She blushed and bit her lips, feeling that she was being too unruly like this.

But he leaned close to his ear and said, "I like the sound of you calling out to me."

She had a humiliating feeling. She turned her head around to go against him. No matter how he teased her, she would clench her teeth and refuse to make a sound. This kind of action angered him.

"Ye Zi Xuan! You are my woman, and from today onwards, your body only belongs to me, Huo Jing Yan. Don't let me see you getting closer to other men! "

His low and cold voice was like an incantation, as he advanced, it deeply imprinted itself in her heart, making her unable to escape, forcing her to sink into the abyss together with him.

The shameless night began again...

The next morning.

When she woke up, she felt like her body was going to fall apart. There was not a single place that belonged to her. When she realized that no one was around, she let out a sigh of relief or felt a sense of loss.

Arriving in the middle of the night and taking himself away, he left again in the morning.

She seemed to be the woman who provided some sort of service, just waiting to see him when he needed it. A sour feeling rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed a single tear.
