However, he had just pushed the door open when he saw the two people hugging. He froze in place before his fingers clenched.The two people pulled away from each other when they realized that he was standing at the door.Xin, who was already feeling bad, forced a smile and tried to pretend to be okay. “Sorry for interrupting,” he said, but his eyes had a certain coldness that sent shivers down Ruby's spine.…I trembled in fear as I looked at him. I didn't expect that he would come up and even enter without knocking.“What do you want?“ I asked and tried looking away from him. Who cared about his cold stare? I was in my house, for heaven's sake, not in his office.Xin's lips lifted into a smile, and I began feeling more confused. “I brought this. Little Lion must have forgotten it in the car,” he said, holding up a pencil. “I thought he would not have something to use for his homework.“And my lips twitched. “You! It is just a pencil! Why did you have to bring it up?“ I asked. I would

For a moment, I was so confused that I didn't understand what was going on. Had Xin actually kissed my lips?When I came back to my senses, I was filled with anger. “You!“ I said it angrily and lifted my hand to slap him. How could he shamelessly take advantage of me like that?However, I gasped when he held my hand, even before it could land on me. He chuckled and pressed me against the wall.And for the second time, he forced a kiss on my lips. I tried to push him away, but he held my other hand and pinned them behind my back.His movement on my lips turned rougher as he bit on my lower lip. The pain was too much, and I felt like crying.I tried to speak, but he was only swallowing the sounds I made. I did not know whether he enjoyed the kiss or if he was just trying to show me that he was in control.When he pulled away, I was out of breath. I took in a huge gulp of air and trembled. Noo! I didn't want to believe that that was happening.“You…” I tried to speak, but Xin suddenly re

Xin was looking at me like I was his greatest enemy. He looked like he wanted to kill me that instant.I was still confused about what to say when Skye rushed towards us. “You! How could you raise your hands at him? I am going to teach you a good lesson."She raised her hands, ready to slap me. All I could do was stand frozen in place. And as I waited for the slap to land, I closed my eyes. I could not do anything stupid again.However, a loud sound was heard, but I did not feel any pain. I opened my eyes in confusion, only to see Skye's hand interjected by Xin. I felt more lost.“What are you doing?“ Xin asked her coldly. It was very surprising that he could stop her from hitting me. Wasn't he supposed to be happy that someone was teaching me a lesson?Skye also looked shocked. “What? She hit you! I want to put her in her place,” she said, breathing fire. I was sure that I would have passed out if she had actually hit me. With her level of anger, she would have used all her strength.

The old man looked at Xin and scoffed. “Don't take me for a fool, grandson! I saw your eyes on her,” he said, and he proceeded to take a seat. “You can fool me all you want, but I swear not to spare her if anything happens.“A certain coldness washed over Xin's back. He knew exactly what his grandfather meant. He was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head. “Grandpa, I am not interested in something that I dumped in the past. I just think that I have some use for her,” he said.The old man creased his brows. “What do you mean? She is just a useless village girl who only knows how to cry,” he said. He didn't like the girl at all.Xin pursed his lips, his hands clenching into fists under the table. He did not like it when anyone else ridiculed Isabel. He was the only one who was allowed to do it.However, when he lifted his eyes, he looked so calm. “That's what everyone thinks. But she might be here on a mission. And if we are not careful enough, we might regret it later on,” h

I looked away from him, but I could tell that he was still looking at me. It made me so uneasy.A few minutes passed, and I felt him moving closer to me. I quickly turned to look at him, ready to defend myself in fear that he would try to hurt me.But I paused midway when he reached for my safety belt and fastened it. A blush appeared on my face. Why was I perverted?He didn't say anything else to me. He quietly drove, even though he would look at me from time to time.And since there was nothing I was doing, I felt idle. To pass time, I decided to go through the files just to make sure that everything was fine. After all, it was also part of my work.And I had reached the fifth page when I realized that something was wrong. A certain page was missing. I felt a little apprehensive.Xin was supposed to use the documents in the meeting. Wouldn't I be in trouble if he found out that the page was missing?And how would I tell him that it was missing? What if he thought that it was just pa
