The room was pitch black; no lights were turned on.
This was their agreement.
Do not turn on the lights.
As she closed the door and walked in, when she reached the corner near the bathroom, a strong force embraced her from behind.
Long Fengxi’s heart leapt wildly; she stood still.
The man blindfolded her with a black strip of cloth and tied a knot at the back of her head.
His body carried the scent of men’s cologne, disguising any hint of his natural smell.
She was gently pushed by him to the edge of the bed.
Her bag was thrown onto the couch.
The man held her from behind, his presence enveloping her in the silent night, making her heartbeat sound exceptionally clear.
Long Fengxi closed her eyes and decided not to think about anything.
She just wanted to let herself go.
From now on, she was going to live a free and happy life by herself.
The man kept to their agreement very well, which pleased Long Fengxi a lot.
At eleven o’clock, Long Fengxi hurriedly left, leaving the man alone in the room.
As the sound of the door closing echoed, he reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. The face that appeared in the light was none other than Shen Congmo.
He hadn’t expected that a spritz of perfume would completely prevent her from recognizing him. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⸺fire.net
And he had never imagined that she would dare to seek for a partner online.
Fortunately, he had installed monitoring software on her computer and was aware of her every move.
Seeing Long Fengxi’s action during the day had utterly shocked Shen Congmo.
If she was looking for someone, wasn’t he a hundred times better than those unknown men?
Yet she did not want him!
Shen Congmo picked up his phone and sent a message to her: [When shall we meet again?]
After a few minutes, Long Fengxi replied: [Every Wednesday at eight in the evening, don’t stand me up.]
Shen Congmo raised an eyebrow and sent back a message of agreement.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, Shen Congmo’s eyes caught sight of a few hundred yuan she had left for the room fee on the bed, and he picked it up with a smile.
The hotel was part of Long Group’s chain; with a single call, he had secured this room for an extended period.
She really did not want to be with him anymore. If she had even the slightest wish to rekindle their past, she wouldn’t act this way... to let herself go so completely!
Fortunately, everything was under his control. She could never escape the palm of his hand.
With this thought, Shen Congmo’s face took on a firmer expression.
Lin Yueer hadn’t visited the underworld for two months now.
Since Gu Lili was subjected to severe punishment last time, although she still lived in Qin Garden, her encounters with Long Yubei had become scarce.
He would go to the office before she even got up, and by the time he returned, she would already be asleep.
They would only meet when he occasionally returned at noon or when she visited him at the company.
His coldness towards her was so evident.
All of Lin Yueer’s previous anger had completely dissipated.
She wanted to wait for him in the main bedroom on the second floor in the evening, but she couldn’t enter the room.
Tonight, she did not go to sleep; instead, she sat in the living room waiting for him, hoping to have a thorough talk.
She waited and waited; it was almost midnight when he finally returned.
