Chapter 960 - 1003: A Baffling Night
After a baptism of sweat, the room finally fell silent.
The two were entangled for a long, long time until both were exhausted, and the man’s inexplicable desire was completely released. Only then did he let go of the woman beneath him.
Perhaps because they were too tired, even when daylight brightened the next morning, the two people on the bed continued to sleep soundly without any movement.
It wasn’t until close to noon that Ling Yueyue, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, reaching out to rub her throbbing temples.
Because the sunlight was so dazzling, the moment she opened her eyes, she only felt a sharp pain in them. She quickly shut them, feeling uncomfortable, rubbing them forcefully until she adjusted to the bright light before opening them again.
However, once she opened her eyes, she immediately frowned.
This... this doesn’t seem like her rented room! The ceiling of her rental was already yellowing, and the paint on the walls had begun to peel. More importantly, her rented place didn’t have such a luxurious chandelier.
If this wasn’t her rented room, then where was she?
Because she had just woken up, combined with being hungover, Ling Yueyue’s mind was in a state of pause, a bit slow to react.
She only remembered attending her class teacher Li Lin’s birthday party last night. After dinner, everyone went to karaoke, and she drank a lot, eventually getting drunk.
As for what happened after getting drunk, she completely couldn’t remember.
She wasn’t foolish enough to think that Li Lin would be so kind as to get them a room to rest.
As Ling Yueyue thought about this, she tried to move her body, attempting to get up from the bed.
However, as soon as she moved a bit, a tearing pain radiated from beneath her, and she couldn’t help but gasp in pain.
What was happening? Why did her body feel so sore as if it had been crushed by force? She had been drunk before but never felt this way!
As Ling Yueyue pondered in confusion, her hand unconsciously touched something warm and soft.
Ling Yueyue was slightly startled and mechanically turned her head. When she saw the man sleeping beside her clearly, she was like struck by lightning, instantly petrified on the spot.
The man’s face was distinct with sharp features like carved from a sculpture. His fair skin accented his slightly rosy lips, and with his prominent features, he had a perfectly shaped face. His thick black hair and tightly shut eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows indicated he was in a deep sleep.
Isn’t he... isn’t this man Huo Junmo? The one she had met a few times and even shared a meal with?
What was going on? What on earth was happening? How did the two of them end up in the same bed? What exactly happened last night?
Unfortunately, no matter how much she tried to remember, only scattered fragments flashed through her mind.
They were all moments that made her blush and her heart race. Either it was Huo Junmo pressing her beneath him, moving continuously within her, or Huo Junmo kissing every inch of her skin passionately.
Although her memory was incomplete, Ling Yueyue was certain that something that shouldn’t have happened occurred between her and Huo Junmo. Her first time was gone just like that, inexplicably.
Recalling how her first time was lost inexplicably, Ling Yueyue gritted her teeth, angrily extending her hand, intending to push the man beside her awake to ask for an explanation. But before her hand could touch Huo Junmo, she hesitated and withdrew it.
How could she ask about something like this? Should she ask why she was in this room, or should she ask if he was responsible?
He was the president of the mighty Huo Tian Group — and what was she? Just a wild girl from the countryside. Even if she found out the truth, what could she do? Would she really expect him to take responsibility and marry her?
This kind of man had no shortage of women for pleasure. If they had to take responsibility for each one, it would never be her, Ling Yueyue!
Moreover, for someone with such overwhelming power, crushing her was as easy as squeezing an ant — how could she possibly fight against him?
She still had parents to support, many younger siblings to care for, and studies to complete. To fight against him would be a pointless struggle.
Instead of being humiliated by him, it was better to pretend this never happened — to swallow this silent loss.
Upon such thoughts, Ling Yueyue immediately dismissed the idea of questioning him.
Ah...! If she weren’t afraid of waking the man beside her, Ling Yueyue would have really wanted to shout up to the sky a couple of times.
How could this happen? Why did it happen? Clearly, she went to attend a birthday party — how could she lose her innocence for no reason! Although she didn’t want to admit it, the man beside her, the pain, and the marks on her body kept reminding her of what happened last night.
She had never thought that something so absurd would happen to her.
Not daring to think further, and unable to figure out how to face Huo Junmo when he woke, Ling Yueyue quietly got off the bed, picked up the clothes scattered all over the floor, and hastily put them on. As she was putting on her clothes, her gaze accidentally fell on the bloodstains on the white sheet, stirring a mix of emotions in her heart.
At this moment, Ling Yueyue didn’t have time to think too much, gathering everything related to her. With her messy hair, she was about to leave, but upon reaching the door, suddenly remembered something. She went back to the bedside, retrieved a wallet from Huo Junmo’s coat pocket, and took out all the cash inside to put into her own pocket.
Ling Yueyue definitely wasn’t going to leave without compensation, even though taking money had a different implication. But undeniably, she was very short on money, really short! She decided she’d just pretend she sold her first time to Huo Junmo! After taking the money today, from now on, they’d owe each other nothing.
With this thought, Ling Yueyue tried hard to suppress the sadness and self-disgust she felt, pocketed the money, stood up, and left the room without a backward glance.
About an hour after Ling Yueyue left, Huo Junmo slowly awoke in the bed.
The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to reach up and rub his temples, then slowly sit up.
As he sat up, the sheet around him slid down, and the red bloodstain on the bed caught his eye.
Looking at that dark red mark on the sheet, Huo Junmo’s handsome sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly. After sweeping a glance around the room and seeing the clothes scattered on the floor, his brows furrowed even tighter.
After a moment of silence, he flipped out of bed, searched the floor for his phone, and dialed a familiar string of numbers.
