Summary
I’m with the person who used to bully me in high school.
As the morning light streamed into the room, I merely stirred my arm.
The arm cinched around my waist tightened its embrace.
Shen Yanzhi lowered his head to kiss my neck, his deep voice husky with sleep.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
I froze for a second, then obediently nodded.
In the past, I might have resisted, but he spent three weeks teaching me a simple truth.
Just comply.
He took my hand, which had been resting by my side, and intertwined our fingers with a playful interest.
He chuckled softly, his breath stirring my hair.
“You didn’t throw away the ring I gave you this time?”
…
He was referring to the diamond ring on my ring finger.
I had two others before this; one I hid in the refrigerator, and one I threw into the water feature in the downstairs garden.
I’d rather not recall the consequences of those two rings, but the third ring has brought about this result:
I am to marry him, the person I once feared most.
