Suddenly, He An’s gaze fell on her back, and his pupils shrank abruptly.
On that fair jade back, there were two finger marks, turned purple from bruising. Judging by their shape, they were clearly a man’s handprints. On the snowy white skin, they stood out starkly.
"What is this?" He An asked in a cold voice.
Kang Jinxian turned her head groggily, unable to see anything on her own back.
He An’s finger touched the area: "How did a man’s finger marks get on your back?"
A "thump" in Kang Jinxian’s heart jolted her out of her desire-fogged mind.
That’s not good, these were left there by her brother in the study during that time. She had completely forgotten about them.
Luckily, she was quick-witted and answered vaguely: "Speak of the devil, you were so forceful last time, nearly crushing my bones. I have sensitive skin to begin with, and a little pinch from you leaves marks for days. It hurt so much."
He An frowned. Was it really him who did this? Why couldn’t he remember?
Suddenly, Kang Jinxian turned around, embraced him proactively, and said, "Oh, don’t get wild ideas. Do you really think I’d betray you? If you think that way, you’re truly hurting my heart..." She pouted, looking unjustly wronged.
He An kissed her lips: "I was wrong to suspect you."
But this time, He An was obviously more cautious. Taking advantage of Kang Jinxian’s emotional turmoil, he coaxed into her ear: "Who did you give your first time to?" He had played around with more women than he could count; he could tell if she was a virgin with just one try.
"Mm... He An, of course, I gave it to you..."
"Liar." Darkness clouded He An’s eyes.
She started to sob, "When I was in elementary school, I fell during PE class and bled so much. I thought I was going to die and cried so hard... Actually, that was when my hymen broke. I didn’t understand anything then, but as I grew up, I began to fear, afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get married, that my future husband would misunderstand me. I even decided to stay single for life. But then, I met you, He An, anyone in the world can misunderstand me, but you can’t..."
Her sobbing plea was like a sharp knife, piercing He An’s heart, causing rampant bleeding. He felt a jolt deep inside, and suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, his touch gradually softening.
"I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have doubted you."
Kang Jinxian threw herself into his arms, "I’ve given everything to you, you must never betray me."
A mocking light flashed in the depths of her lowered eyes, "So you never truly trusted me. It’s good that I was cautious, or I would have let slip."
When Kang Jinxian woke up, she only felt sore all over, as if her body was no longer her own. She glanced at He An, who was sleeping beside her like a dead pig, and couldn’t help but silently gnash her teeth.
Although she didn’t like He An, she had to admit that his skills, refined by years among women, were quite good.
Looking at the bruises all over her body, she laughed at herself, wrapped in the sheets, and went to take a shower.
After she finished showering and came out, He An had just woken up. He moved to kiss her, but Kang Jinxian glared at him, "You smell, go take a shower."
He An’s gaze fell on her belly, and he pursed his lips, "Is the baby okay?"
Kang Jinxian humphed: "Now you remember the baby, what were you doing earlier?"
He An chuckled, patted her belly, "That’s my good son, always looking out for his dad. I’ll take good care of you once you’re out."
The light in Kang Jinxian’s eyes flickered, she brushed his hand away and took a towel to start drying her hair.
He An, full of energy, jumped up and rushed naked to the bathroom.
It was nearly noon, and her phone was full of missed calls—calls from Yun Shu, Gu Cheng, Kang Jinse, and even Yun Shen.
Seeing Yun Shen’s name made her heart quiver, and she dialed back.
It was answered after a few rings, and Yun Shen’s deep voice came through, "Where are you?"
Yun Shen rarely initiated contact with her, so Kang Jinxian felt a little excited and tried to keep her voice calm: "I’m out eating with friends." Her voice was hoarse from screaming all night, seductively raspy.
"You want to enter the entertainment industry?" His voice was cold, emotionless.
Kang Jinxian couldn’t grasp his intentions and softly murmured an affirmation.
"I disagree." His response was decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. Read full story at novel✶fire.net
Kang Jinxian’s breath hitched, her mind reeling.
"There’s no why. If you don’t listen to me, from now on, we’re strangers." With that, he hung up without giving Kang Jinxian a chance to explain.
