Chapter 1807: You Must Have Tried To Make Advances On
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Long Yin had sounded so certain, and he was not the type to make things up either, so it could only mean that it had really happened.
She could not imagine herself doing something like that and biting his lip so hard his skin broke…
“Don’t accuse me of something I didn’t do. I’d never bite you.” After forcing herself to calm down, she denied his accusation and hit back with one of her own. “If I had, it must have been because you tried to make advances to me, and I had no choice but to protect myself. I guess that makes us even, then.”
Long Yin snorted a laugh. He planted his hands by her sides, a threatening look flas.h.i.+ng in his deep eyes. “You’re an expert at distorting facts, aren’t you? You bit me, but now you want to s.h.i.+ft the blame to me?”
His scent penetrated Hexin’s nose due to his abrupt closeness, and she stiffened for only a second before backing away hastily.
To her dismay, there was nowhere for her to escape as her back hit the headboard. Struggling to tilt her head back, she was about to push him away when he suddenly drew nearer and gave her a peck on the lips.
Seeing the girl go rigid, Long Yin smirked and lifted a hand to ruffle her hair, saying warmly, “Since you’re awake, hurry up and get ready. I’ll take you out later.”
Hexin’s face turned red, much to her chagrin.
No sooner had he moved back than she jumped off the bed and bolted to her own room.
Her cheeks were still burning as she hurtled into her room and shut the doors.
She walked to the basin stand, scooped a handful of water, and splashed it on her face to calm herself.
Long Yin was getting more and more difficult to understand. He seemed to enjoy teasing her a lot.
Feeling dejected, she sat down in front of her vanity mirror.
She rested her chin in her palm and gazed at herself in the mirror.
She ran a hand over her face. She knew she was good-looking, but when compared with Yaoyao and Ji’er, she was slightly inferior.
Although Long Yin was a man, his unparalleled handsomeness made him one of the rare visions of the world.
Even her mother was always praising his good looks.
Perhaps she had overestimated herself by even thinking she could be with someone as excellent as Long Yin.
Sighing, she got up and began to change out of her wrinkled dress.
Just then, she caught sight of several red marks near her collarbone. They
looked like…
When she realized what they were, she immediately flushed and widened her eyes in disbelief.
Did Long Yin…
It could not be anyone else but him.
She had stayed the night in his room.
“Cousin Hexin, are you awake?” Yuan You’s voice came from outside the doors.
Startled, Hexin wrapped her clothes back around herself. Her heart thundered as if she had committed a misdeed, and for a moment, she was disconcerted.
“Cousin Hexin, what’re you doing in there?” Yuan You pushed the doors, only to find that they had been barred from the inside. She knocked and said urgently, “It’s time for breakfast. Hurry up and come out.”
“All right. You go on ahead,” Hexin answered.
When the footsteps had faded into the distance, she exhaled in relief. Fl.u.s.tered by the marks on her body, she moved closer to the mirror and gave herself a once-over, only to find that there were more similar marks on her neck. “That liar and scoundrel… He said nothing happened, but…”
Chewing on her lip, she wrung a towel dry and placed it on her neck, hoping the red marks would disappear faster; otherwise, she would be too ashamed to show herself in front of others.
She remained in her room even when everyone had finished breakfast, so Long Yin brought her meal to her.
“Hexin.” He knocked..
