Ever since the last time they parted on bad terms, everyone deliberately pretended to forget what happened that night. Kang Zhenglun also began to act like a good husband. When it was time to get off work, he couldn't wait to rush to the small apartment where the two of them lived together. Even when it was a rare holiday that he stole from his busy work, he was unwilling to leave her.
Even though Kang Zhenglun wanted to completely carry out the ruthless words he had left behind a few days ago and be a stranger to Zhu Jingrong, not long after he had said those words, another evil thought slowly grew like a sprout. This sudden thought caused his attitude towards her to change 180 degrees.
If he maintained a stranger's lifestyle with her, it would only make her feel greatly relieved, and it would be as she wished without any emotional involvement. Therefore, he decided to treat her gently and let her gradually sink into his tenderness. Then, he would give her a fierce kick and kick her to the ends of the earth. Wasn't this pleasure greater than his original decision?
However, other than giving her tough and predatory sex when he was provoked by her; Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would indulge himself and pamper her like a good husband. The punishment he gave her when she was angry was cruel. His purpose was to make her understand the consequences of angering him. However, when he had a sudden impulse, he would also try to guide her out of the maze that she could not get out of in a doting manner.
Zhu Jing Rong was afraid of intimacy between people because she was afraid that she would lose everything in the future, so she chose not to socialize with others. She would rather live alone than have too many emotional entanglements. Kang Zhenglun had always been trying to change this.
Today was a rare holiday, and the huge space seemed very quiet.
Kang Zhenglun leaned against the bedside table with his upper body naked. Although his eyes were staring at the TV series playing in front of him, he was thinking about Zhu Jingrong, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He caressed her soft black hair affectionately, his gentle actions filled with careless doting.
In fact, when their opinions were no longer at odds, there was always a strong sense of happiness between the two of them. It almost made people forget the strong smell of gunpowder between them.
Perhaps it was because she couldn't bear to be explored by him again and again, Zhu Jing Rong slowly squirmed her body and opened her misty black eyes. At this moment, she had an indescribable charm that always made his gaze stick to her.
Every morning when she woke up, she would forget where she was for a moment. His gentle caress always made her like a lazy and greedy kitten, subconsciously moving towards his warm embrace because of her longing. Only when a warning came to her mind would she be like a frightened cat, quickly breaking free from her warm embrace.
Every time she did this, Kang Zhenglun would be extremely displeased. However, after experiencing how she managed to break free several times, he was now more prepared to deal with her deliberate evasions.
Every time she woke up, he would lean over and cover her red lips, trying to kiss her until she was mesmerized. Then, she would fall into his arms weakly. This method was definitely enjoyable, and he was even more excited.
At this moment, seeing Zhu Jing Rong slowly open her eyes, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl into an evil smile. When she yearned for his warm embrace and moved her body to squeeze into his chest, he was also fully prepared to lower his head, waiting for her to realize where she was and blush as she tried to leave his chest, waiting for her to throw herself into his arms.
At this moment, her lips that suddenly left and his lips that were bent down to wait always collided accurately. After the collision, of course, he would not let it go easily without a passionate kiss.
Moving her soft lips away, he could easily see the blush and embarrassment on her face. This was also the reason why he had kissed her several times, but not only did she not have the time to guard against it, she was even teased until she felt ashamed and flustered. In short, his actions were always faster than the thoughts that gradually formed in her mind.
Zhu Jing Rong swiftly hid under the thin quilt. When she poked her head out again, the complicated expression that had flashed past her had already returned to her usual cold expression after she had reorganized her emotions. Among all her emotions, there was coldness, sadness, and fear. However, she lacked a charming smile. It was like the starry night sky without the bright moon, making people feel disappointed.
Her ostrich mentality made Kang Zhenglun laugh. Ignoring her protests, he pulled her out of the bed and made her carry him. Staring at her beautiful back, his breathing was slightly uneven as he caressed her hair. In order to hide the surging waves in his heart, he took a comb from the bedside table and combed her soft black hair lovingly.
"Beautiful person, beautiful back, and even more beautiful hair." he said dotingly.
Zhu Jing Rong's face suddenly flushed red, and tiny bumps quickly appeared on her exposed body. Her heart beat faster like a drum, and her eyes darted around in order to deliberately ignore the wanton fondling of his slender fingers on her hair.
"I want you." He suddenly said in a hoarse voice beside her ear.
Zhu Jing Rong was stunned, and before she could react, her body had already been flipped over, and she was covered by him.
How could he be so demanding? Her face was slightly red as she looked into his lustful eyes.
"I don't know why, but I just can't get enough of you.”
And she was also immersed in the passion of love, allowing herself to completely sink into his rhythm, allowing the two of them to climb to the top together...
When everything was over, she panted slightly as she watched him get up.
"Accompany me to a banquet next week!”Kang Zhenglun got out of bed naked and went to the wardrobe. He took out a sapphire blue square box from the inner lining of a beige suit jacket.
He handed the small square box to her. Although he did not say anything, the corners of his eyes and mouth were filled with a mysterious smile.
Zhu Jing Rong stared at the strange smile on his face with a face full of doubt, and then shifted her gaze to the small square box in his hand.
"Open it and take a look." He said casually, but he could not hide the ecstasy and anticipation in his heart.
Frowning, she took it and opened it. Inside was a beautiful necklace. There was a dazzling rose-shaped rare blue diamond at the front of the necklace. It was so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off it.
Not only were blue roses rare, but they also suited her temperament. They were a little cold and melancholic. They looked weak and harmless, but when she reached out to pick them, she suddenly realized that they were covered in thorns. Even so, it was so beautiful that it was very precious and lovable.
For a moment, she was stunned. It wasn't because he had given her this priceless necklace. On the contrary, this necklace made her feel that she was about to become one of the many women around him. She wanted to curry favor with him just to obtain his generous gift.
She should be happy. At least this way, she would give up completely. It also meant that there would always be a debt between the two of them that could not be repaid. But why was she not happy at all?
Kang Zhenglun stared at her enigmatic expression. She wasn't as ecstatic as he had expected. Instead, she had a sorrowful expression.
He didn't understand. Every woman would be ecstatic to receive such a gift, but she was different. Her extraordinary reaction puzzled him. She didn't like it? Or was the gift not expensive enough?
"You don't like it?" he asked.
Zhu Jing Rong shook her head with a bitter smile. "It's very beautiful."
"But I can tell you don't like it very much.”
"Not to mention me, anyone who sees it will fall in love with it.”She wanted to return the expensive necklace to him.
But Kang Zhenglun refused to take it back." Since you like it, why refuse to accept it?”He narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was sharp and did not allow her to avoid the main point.
"It's too precious, I can't keep it.”After a moment of silence, Zhu Jing Rong casually explained, but what she blurted out wasn't the main point.
"Tell me the truth." He knew her too well. The answers that she gave after careful consideration were usually used by her to brush things off. The truth was never as simple as it seemed. "What I want to know is the truth, not the excuse you use to do things half-heartedly.”
She sighed deeply, her tone filled with extreme helplessness. "There's no such thing as telling the truth. The truth is that it's really too precious. I'm not suitable or worthy at all.”
"Who says you're not worthy? I gave it to you because I think you're suitable.”He frowned, disapproving of her self-deprecating tone.
"Why did you suddenly give me a gift?" Usually, when a man gave jewelry or clothes to a woman, it was either because the man had done something wrong and bought a gift to apologize, or the woman had to bribe him with money or jewelry.
"This is the price for accompanying me to the banquet.”He replied in a good mood.
"Do I have to go?" Zhu Jing Rong furrowed her brows in embarrassment. She had always been very resistant to such places where there were too many people and too many mouths. She would rather be alone in a limited space than be in a place that was incompatible with her. That would make her feel at a loss and even unconsciously nervous.
"You don't want to go?"
"Don't you have anyone else to look for?" She knew that he never lacked the company of beautiful women. Since that was the case, why did he have to have her accompany him?
"You want me to go with another woman?”He was a little unhappy.
Zhu Jing Rong could easily see the anger in his eyes, and she knew that if she continued to go against his intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, she still mustered up the remaining courage in her heart and nodded slowly at him.
"If possible, I hope I can choose to refuse to attend.”Zhu Jing Rong mustered up her courage and met his angry eyes. The atmosphere of confrontation was filled with danger.
"You mean, you want me to find another woman?”Kang Zhenglun's voice gradually increased in volume. He was still in disbelief of what he was hearing. What did she say? She wanted him to find another woman?
Oh! This damned woman! He cursed angrily in his heart.
She nodded." Are you willing?”
"What do you think?" He grabbed her chin forcefully and asked her instead of answering. His angry look made her regret angering him.
"I don't think I have the right to say anything.”She endured the pain and accepted her fate.
"So you're not too stupid. You still have some brains.”Kang Zhenglun shook his hand off and laughed sarcastically.
Zhu Jing Rong was silent because a sudden thought had crawled into her mind!! After all, it was just a business deal between them, so she no longer needed to worry that his departure would cause another trauma in her heart.
With this level of understanding, Zhu Jingrong should clearly feel excited, but why couldn't she be happy? It was as if something in his heart had suddenly been emptied, leaving only an empty shell.
He knew that Zhu Jingrong was unwilling to accompany him to the upcoming dinner party, but Kang Zhenglun not only ignored her indirect hints, but he even put aside his work and personally took the time to accompany her to buy a dress.
On this day, Kang Zhenglun drove straight to the boutique he often visited. The two of them had just gotten out of the car when a graceful woman in her thirties walked out. She was dressed beautifully but did not lose her solemnity.
As soon as the woman walked out, she immediately jogged over to Kang Zhenglun. She didn't avoid the gazes that might be cast on her and ran into his arms, her cherry lips accurately kissing his.
"Lan Xiu, stop fooling around." Kang Zhenglun said helplessly after enjoying Lan Xiu's kiss.
When Lan Xiu heard this, she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. Her tone was like a reproach, but also like a plaything between lovers. "Zhenglun, you don't love me anymore?"
"How is that possible? The person I love the most in this life is you.”Seeing Lan Xiu mumbling jokingly, he was in a good mood to accompany her.
Lan Xiu was probably the only woman in Kang Zhenglun's life who wasn't affected by it. It wasn't because of anything else, but because she was a man. It was just that she always felt that she was born to be a woman, so she went for a sex change operation to completely turn herself into a woman.
Perhaps it was because the sex change had been too successful, or perhaps she had played her role too thoroughly. Therefore, if one did not know beforehand that she was originally a man, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see the difference between Lan Xiu and ordinary women from her words and actions.
Because Kang Zhenglun didn't explain, and because Lan Xiu acted too much like a woman, their actions caused Zhu Jingrong to feel extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but she suddenly felt that something that she couldn't lose in her heart had secretly grown legs and ran to an unknown place when she wasn't paying attention.
"You love me? Who would believe you!" Lan Xiu intimately tapped Kang Zhenglun's tall nose with his index finger, his face full of disbelief. "If you love me, who is she?" She held his arm, but her beautiful eyes glanced at Zhu Jing Rong, who had been standing silently by his side.
"Someone who has nothing to do with you." Kang Zhenglun's cheerful smile was instantly replaced by his usual indifference as he answered evasively. Then, he pushed Zhu Jingrong slightly towards Lan Xiu and said,"Help her choose a suitable dress. I'm taking her to a dinner party next week.”
Lan Xiu took her hand and looked at her from head to toe as if he was examining an item. "An old cow eating young grass?"
Lan Xiu asked jokingly. She had thought that Kang Zhenglun's attitude would be the same as before, and she would smile and brush it off. She had not expected that she would miscalculate this time. Not only did Kang Zhenglun not smile, but his expression was so sinister that it made her shudder. This was probably the first time Lan Xiu had seen him look slightly angry since she knew him.
"Lan Xiu, I always thought you were the smartest person. I didn't expect you to disappoint me.”
Lan Xiu retorted disapprovingly, very dissatisfied with his evaluation. "You're too unpredictable."
Kang Zhenglun couldn't be bothered to respond to the sarcasm in Lan Xiu's words. He simply pursed his lips without commenting. He held the hand of Zhu Jingrong, who had been silent from the beginning to the end, and walked into the clothing store.
When Lan Xiu saw this, she stood rooted to the ground and covered her mouth as she laughed. There was an easily detectable ambiguity in her smile. "You said you love me the most. Look! Now that she has a new lover, she still ignores me, her old love.”
Hearing Lan Xiu's sour words, Kang Zhenglun had no choice but to slow down his pace. He frowned and turned around to glare at the ungrateful her.
"Speak! What do you want?" If he didn't know Lan Xiu's teasing personality too well, with his irritable personality, he might have already cursed at her.
"I want to do this too." After throwing out these delicate words, Lan Xiu lifted the hem of her dress and quickly ran to Kang Zhenglun's side. Before he could figure out her intentions, Lan Xiu quickly took his other arm that was in the pocket of his suit pants and wrapped it around her exquisite waist.
Kang Zhenglun did not expect Lan Xiu to use this move and hurriedly said,"What are you doing?" As if he had touched something dirty, he hurriedly pulled his hand away from her waist.
However, how could Lan Xiu let go of this great opportunity to tease him? She stubbornly held his hand and refused to let go. The two of them pulled back and forth. It was unknown whether Lan Xiu felt that she had put on a good act or that she was no match for Kang Zhenglun's strength. In short, the two of them finally separated by a small distance.
"Lan Xiu, enough is enough." Kang Zhenglun warned, not directly pointing out her intention to tease others.
Lan Xiu pretended to cry and covered her eyes with the back of her hand in defeat. Her tone was filled with endless grievances. "Then why can she get your hug without any effort? You said that you had a change of heart and still refused to admit it."
" You…" Kang Zhenglun glared at her, his fists clenched and released, clenched and released.
Lan Xiu ignored his reaction and gracefully walked in front of Zhu Jingrong, as if she was looking at something rare and strange. After a long time, she asked,"And who are you?"
" I..." Zhu Jingrong was rendered speechless by Lan Xiu's question. She looked up uneasily at Kang Zhenglun, who had a dark expression on his face. Seeing that he had coldly moved their eyes away, she looked away in disappointment and stared awkwardly at her tightly clenched fingers. "It's not what you think between us. Don't worry.”
"How could it not be like that?" Lan Xiu's eyes flashed with confusion. They were clearly so intimate that it was as if ten strong men were beside them, and they couldn't pull them apart. Yet, this woman actually replied like this. She was unwilling to believe it even if she was beaten to death. She wasn't blind, so how could she not understand the strange relationship between them? "I won't believe it even if you beat me to death. Besides, seeing is believing!”
As he spoke, Lan Xiu's sneaky black eyes also frequently turned towards Kang Zhenglun's hand that was wrapped around Zhu Jingrong's waist. His domineering appearance seemed to be declaring to everyone that she would always be his alone.
"Forget it if you don't believe me." Kang Zhenglun frowned in displeasure and replied before Zhu Jingrong could speak. His sharp black eyes stared straight at Zhu Jingrong, his eyes filled with obvious anger.
He was angry because Zhu Jingrong's answer was as if it had nothing to do with her, and also because she had no choice but to give Lan Xiu such an ambiguous answer. Because he was angry at her and at the same time, he was also angry at himself. Suddenly, he tightened his grip on her waist, wrapped his arms around her delicate body, and quickly walked forward.
Zhu Jingrong didn't expect him to do this. At this moment, her attention was completely focused on Lan Xiu's aggressive questioning. In a flash, she suddenly lost her balance and almost immediately leaned forward.
After she fell to the ground, before she could even react, Kang Zhenglun's strong arms had already reached out and picked her up. Seeing the few scratches on her arm, his frown deepened.
"I…I'm fine. I can stand on my own. You don't have to carry me.”She twisted her body weakly in protest. She always felt very uncomfortable in the face of his usual intimate actions, especially when there was someone else beside her. She felt that something was wrong all over.
She hated this ambiguous relationship between the two of them. They were clearly nothing, but in the eyes of the onlookers, they were everything. This situation made her feel extremely awkward. She did not understand why he could face it calmly and turn a blind eye to the ambiguous gazes cast by others.
"You are injured." He narrowed his eyes in anger. As she reached out and struggled, trying to pull away from him with her weak little hand, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scratch on her palm. There was a slight trickle of blood on the wound. Although it was not too serious, it was enough to make him angry.
Almost without warning, he suddenly grabbed her hands that were still trying to break free from his grip. He lowered his head and gently and carefully kissed the wound on her palm.
Kang Zhenglun's sudden action not only caused Zhu Jingrong to forget to struggle and widen her eyes in shock, it also caused her to forget the stinging pain in her palm from his lips and tongue. She just stared at him helplessly, oblivious to the tears that had filled her eyes and flowed down her cheeks like two streams of clear water.
When the tears fell, not only was he confused, but she was also shocked. Before she could wipe her tears away, his lips had already kissed away her tears.
"Why are you crying?" He asked softly, his gentle voice filled with infinite concern, as if he was whispering to a very dear person. "Because it hurts?"
Zhu Jing Rong shook her head and silently turned her face, unwilling to let him see the tears that could not be stopped on her face.
Her sudden tears were because of his concern. She couldn't stop her tears from falling, but it was also because he cared about her more than he should.
His gentleness was like a weak and imperceptible magic power. The way he conquered her heart was not so strong that it caught her off guard, but quietly seeped into her heart before she realized that something was wrong. When she realized that something was wrong, his power had already occupied her heart that she thought was impregnable.
Kang Zhenglun was eager to know the reason for Zhu Jingrong's tears. The more she behaved abnormally, the more he felt bored for no reason, as if she was going to do something that caught him off guard.
"There must be a reason. Are you going to tell me?”He once again asked her why she was crying, as if he would not give up until he broke the pot.
Zhu Jing Rong shook her head and pursed her lips tightly. How could she honestly tell him that she was crying because she couldn't figure out how she felt? Her attitude towards him had gradually changed from a strong resistance to a silent acceptance. Because of this level of knowledge, it imperceptibly suppressed her already frustrated heart until she could not breathe.
"I don't know…I really don't know…Don't force me to answer!”Suddenly, she started to get hysterical. Her whole body kept twisting, hoping to get rid of his strong arms and the invisible shackles that bound her freedom.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I won't ask for an answer from you.”Kang Zhenglun's heart ached as he covered the back of her head with his hand, letting her head rest on his chest and gently patting it, trying to calm her uneasy emotions for a moment.
As he spoke, he carried her and moved in the opposite direction of the clothing store. He had completely forgotten the purpose of their visit, and even more so, he had forgotten about Lan Xiu, who had been watching the show from the side. At this moment, there were only the two of them in their world. No one could interfere, nor did they want to ruin this beautiful moment.#
