Bei Ran was pressed against the cold wall, with his tall and scorching figure behind her.
When one has no way forward and no retreat behind, only in a narrow path does the brave man prevail.
Mere physical strength comparison, Bei Ran was definitely no match for this man!
If it were a battle of wits, although she didn’t have much of a chance to win, she wouldn’t necessarily lose it all.
Bei Ran slightly turned her head, his breath still at her ear, tickling and teasing the soft skin there into itchiness and numbness.
"Qingchen, many have made my life worse than death, but you, you are the only one who makes me ****!" She curved her lips slightly, letting him know what set him, Gu Qingchen, apart from the rest.
When Gu Qingchen was angry, he really wanted to strangle her, but when she was obedient, he couldn’t help but treasure her immensely!
Bei Ran offered him a choice—to be one of the many or to be her only one?
Bei Ran acknowledged her own attractiveness, but she was not unparalleled in beauty.
She admitted to being sincerely kind to people, and if someone wanted to be her only one, it wasn’t so easy to achieve.
Gu Qingchen wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist, his lips lingering back and forth by her ear, and though he didn’t speak, his actions proved he wanted to be her only one.
From her earlobe to her snowy neck, strands of her soft hair brushed across his cheek, fragrant and enchanting.
He indeed wished her a life worse than death, yet, he only wanted to be her only one.
Suddenly, with a "snap," her handbag fell to the ground, its contents scattering out.
And there, the red divorce certificate was conspicuously at their feet.
Such a certificate snapped both of them back from their passion.
In the past, they... often were in such positions.
By the door, against the wall, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, on the balcony...
Only now, had they both forgotten that they were already divorced!
Gu Qingchen released Bei Ran and stepped back, hands behind his back, still exerting a strong oppressive presence.
Bei Ran turned around, back against the cold wall, and looked at Gu Qingchen seriously, "Qingchen, I really appreciate what you did for me today!"
Gu Qingchen said indifferently, "If I exploited you, would you still be grateful?"
Bei Ran’s almond eyes suddenly sparkled with humor: "Then, how about I repay you with myself, interested?"
She had no capital to play tough with him; all she had was herself, her heart, her body!
"Fine, I’m counting to three. If you still don’t want yourself, that’s your problem, but I owe you nothing!" Bei Ran began to unbutton her collar.
Her flushed skin faintly visible...
"One... Two... Three..." Bei Ran saw he remained unmoved.
Perhaps, Gu Qingchen is truly a gentleman!
Or perhaps, it’s his pride; he doesn’t fancy what’s brought to him on a platter but prefers the thrill of the chase.
Bei Ran fastened the buttons of her collar, "I’m leaving, good night!"
She picked up the divorce certificate off the ground, then with her handbag in hand, she strode elegantly towards the elevator.
The high heels clacked crisply on the shiny marble floor, sounding like the most beautiful music, playing a nocturne.
After Bei Ran left, Gu Qingchen punched the wall in frustration; he had intended to treat her burn—she got scalded by tea!
But that divorce certificate thoroughly infuriated him!
They were already divorced, why should he still be so good to her?
And what about that woman? After using him, she just brazenly left with grand strides!
Without a trace of longing, without a hint of hesitation.
In the elevator, Bei Ran was alone with her reflection in the mirror. She hugged herself tightly.
Perhaps, only in such confined, enclosed spaces could she show her most authentic self.
She was not someone to sacrifice for anyone and everyone!
Twin children are her most beloved; they are flesh of her flesh. And Zong Zheng and the mother-in-law had always been kind to the twins.
The world has always been unjust; not everyone with good grades or academic accomplishments can be allocated to a good hospital.
Those with family power, those with connections, could steal your opportunity with the flimsiest of accusations, intern at prestigious hospitals, under the guidance of excellent mentors.
And Zong Zheng was a man with good academic results but no background!
Bei Ran also knew the world was unfair, but what could she do about it?
