As soon as they got out of the car, Mu Donglin keeled over and vomited.
Enduring the stench of alcohol, Lin Kerou patted his back as her own tears fell. She pursed her lips and stifled her own sobbing.
After he vomited, Lin Kerou supported him as they walked towards the villa.
Xun Huan Gang had excellent surroundings, it was a quiet pocket amidst the bustling city. It was Mu Donglin’s favorite residence.
Unfortunately, he had lost out to Mu Xichen.
After Mu Xichen sold it cheaply, he deliberately leaked the news to Mu Donglin.
Hence, Mu Donglin bought the villa again.
Mu Donglin was not one who would take a liking to things easily, but once he did, he’d be deeply entrenched.
If this were the case for merely a house, then… what more, a living person?
Now that Li Beinian was with Mu Xichen, what if Mu Xichen abandoned her one day?
Would Mu Donglin… pay a huge price to take her back?
Lin Kerou bit her lip. She recalled the deal she had made with Mu Xichen. He had said, “You would know better than I, whether Mu Donglin really likes her, or is simply unwilling to accept defeat.”
“If you don’t force him, he will never look your way.”
“Take a gamble. Whether you win or lose, he’d be yours.”
Yes, it was a gamble.
One would never know until they tried.
At that time, she firmly believed that Mu Donglin was just unwilling to accept defeat.
But now…
She wasn’t too sure.
She threw Mu Donglin onto the bed.
The man’s face was flushed under the light.
Even though he was hardly conscious, he was calling out that name he could not forget: Nian Nian. Nian Nian.
Lin Kerou felt a dull pain in her heart. Finally, unable to bear it anymore, she whimpered.
This wager… she had both lost and won.
Lin Kerou went into the bathroom and wet a towel to wipe down his face.
Her tears fell like a tap that someone had forgotten to turn off.
Mu Donglin seemed to sense something.
He pulled down the hand that was wiping his face. Then turning over with one movement, he pinned her down under the weight of his body.
Lin Kerou felt even more helpless and burst into tears. “Wake up. Look at who I am!”
Mu Donglin was not sober. He seemed to have returned to the night of their engagement.
Under the witness of hundreds of people, they had cut the engagement cake.
When the emcee officially announced that they were engaged, he had smiled.
It was a sincere smile, right from his heart.
She was his, all his.
He knew she would be his wife, it was just a matter of time.
He sank his body into hers. his hand brushed against her cheek as he lowered his head to kiss her lips.
The kiss was urgent and full of desire.
Lin Kerou did not push him away but allowed his hands to explore her body. She circled her arms around his waist and sobbed in response to his kiss.
As he bore his weight down on her, his vision was filled with a red wall of fire.
That person was wearing a regal fiery red dress. It was ostentatious and irresistibly beautiful.
“Nian Nian…”
Mu Donglin kissed her neck passionately. He tore her clothes apart with his large hands and flipped her over.
“No… I’m not her.” Lin Kerou finally realized the situation she was in and cried loudly. She pushed him away forcefully and cried. “Brother Donglin, I’m Kerou!”
However, Mu Donglin didn’t seem to hear her at all.
“Ah!” Lin Kerou screamed.
She immediately paled as the pain tore through her.
Lin Kerou couldn’t take it anymore and passed out.
