47 -46: The Spirit of Contract

Tang Xi bit her lip tightly.

Her back was frail and slender, tense all over.

Upon hearing the man’s words, a surge of grievance welled up.

She looked at him; smoke obscured his face, the contours of his handsomeness barely visible, but his eyes’ emotions remained undiscernible.

Her lips trembled with a hoarse voice, “You said that for these three months, we’re just pretending to be a couple, you wouldn’t touch me.”

Upon hearing this, the man exhaled a faint puff of smoke, then his thin lips curved slightly, “I must have also mentioned that whatever your past romantic history is, since you’ve gone to such lengths to crawl into my bed, keep a distance from those men outside.

How did you do that?

Hmm?

Not seeing you for a few days, and you’ve become Xiao Chi’s girlfriend, even seducing a playboy like him; who knows what dirty things you’ve been doing behind my back.”

How could Tang Xi have anticipated that Xiao Chi would bring her to a tourism development project hosted by Fu Tingzhou?

“Regarding this matter, I can explain.”

The man coldly interrupted, “I don’t want to hear any of this.

You just need to remember, for these three months, keep away your wanton maneuvers, and take good care of my mother.”

He was very close to her.

The distance between their faces was only about ten centimeters.

The breath between them mingled, almost giving a sense of an intimate tangle…

If at this moment their exchange wasn’t filled with cold sarcasm, if in the man’s eyes there wasn’t a look of disgust towards her.

The closeness of their breaths could easily be mistaken for a hazy illusion filled with ambiguous desire.

Drawing near, he inhaled the scent belonging to the woman—light and barely there, refreshing and mist-like, indistinct yet bearing an almost drug-like effect.

Fu Tingzhou suddenly felt a dryness in his throat.

The man’s strong self-control maintained his clear mind.

But now looking at her, swollen lips, black hair scattered over her delicate shoulders…

He actually felt an impulse to press her down ruthlessly.

Just like last night.

“Uh—” Tang Xi suddenly widened her eyes.

Following that, the thin blanket that had been covering her was pulled away by the man’s large hand.

A cold, aggressive kiss fell upon her.

Last night, he had bitten her lips until they bled.

Now, sudden pain assaulted her.

The man’s force was anything but gentle.

Tang Xi instinctively resisted, “Uh, let…let go…”

Her voice was broken and hoarse; her fists punched against the man’s shoulders, the force almost imperceptible to him.

Tang Xi had not expected that this man who just a moment prior had disdainfully declared he wouldn’t touch her, reminding her to recognize her place as nothing more than a partner by agreement soon to part, was now starting to violate her…

Indeed, a man’s words are forever unreliable.

“Fu Tingzhou!” She fiercely turned her face away.

The next second, pain erupted on her jaw as he forced her face back, deepening the kiss.

Their breaths entwined.

Fu Tingzhou propped himself up on his arms, a trace of dark light flickering in his eyes, “Pretending?

Weren’t you quite happy last night?”

Tang Xi felt the heat of shame, softly speaking, “You forced me.”

A mysterious smile crossed the man’s lips, as he lowered his head, his voice pressing down on her reddened ears, “Alright, then let me show you whether it’s me forcing you, or you being willing.”

Tang Xi didn’t know why Fu Tingzhou would have such a perverse pleasure.

He always looked like such a cold and indifferent person, with only sternness in his eyes, perpetually exuding an oppressive strength and a depressive ambience.

Standing by his side in the summer, there would be no need to turn on the air conditioning.

Yet in bed, it was altogether different…

His dominance carried a chilling tone of compulsion, utterly lacking any gentlemanly demeanor.

She bit her lip.

Utterly silent.

She didn’t know, the more she did this, the more it aroused his desire to conquer.

Eventually, she lost the battle.

–

Tang Xi once again sat up and looked at the man changing his clothes.

Her gaze left his well-defined muscles, her cheeks flushed, but her voice was husky and defiant, “You just said, you wouldn’t touch me.”

The esteemed CEO of the Fu Corporation, actually going back on his word.

Fu Tingzhou raised his hand, straightening his cuffs, and upon hearing her words, he looked up coolly.

His face had returned to its usual cold and indifferent expression as if the man who had just been lost in passion wasn’t him.

Tang Xi tightly clutched the thin blanket, her gaze staring straight at his face, “I would hope, Mr.

Fu, that you could show a little more contract spirit.”

A stack of money, tossed onto the bed.

The woman’s face turned pale.

There was a feeling, of being humiliated.

Dignity seemed to be trampled upon.

The man looked down at her from above, “Is this enough?”

She clenched her teeth tightly.

Not a word came out.

These red banknotes seemed to slice through her heart in an instant.

Hearing that casual ‘Is this enough?’, all the sourness surged to her heart, Tang Xi struggled to restrain the sourness in her eyes, her pale lips trembling as she looked at him, “Is having money that amazing?

Well, let me tell you, it’s not enough!”

Fu Tingzhou’s originally indifferent face now looked somewhat sinister as he once again took out his wallet, from which he pulled out a card and threw it onto her face.

“Is this enough!”

Tang Xi couldn’t quite understand her feelings at that moment, as if her heart had been ripped apart and trampled upon uncomfortably.

She looked at the banknotes scattered on the sheets, all a silent irony.

In this relationship, she had always been the one being pushed forward.

At first, she had a girl’s longing for this marriage, but she clearly knew it was nothing but an illusion in a dream.

Such a man was far too distant from her; they were never from the same world.

Never were.

The woman slowly reached out her hand, picking up the banknotes scattered across the sheets.

The card was tightly gripped in her palm.

Its edges felt as if they were about to cut through her skin.

She took a deep breath, trying hard to do so.

When she raised her head to look at him, her face forced into a stiff smile, “It’s enough.”

Just at that moment.

There was a knock on the door from outside, followed by Su Mengshu’s voice, “Tingzhou, are you there?”

His expression barely changed as he responded through the door indifferently, “Mengshu, what’s up?”

“Tingzhou, the sea breeze outside is nice today, and I heard that the surrounding coffee shops and bistros are open.

I want you to accompany me for a stroll.”

Su Mengshu’s voice was soft and sweet.

But there was no expression on Fu Tingzhou’s face.

He merely gave the woman’s slender figure on the bed a cold glance before swiftly leaving.

Listening to the sound of the door closing.

Tang Xi slowly closed her eyes.

She tried hard to calm her own heart.

Two more months, just two more months to endure!

The “buzz buzz” of the phone vibrating sounded.

Tang Xi picked up the phone from the bedside table; it was her own.

She saw the name ‘Qin Jianlan’ flashing on the screen.
