Chapter 10

I couldn’t shake the worry. I told Zou Yan I had to leave early to check on the dog.

Cheng Yedu opened the door, and the dog immediately started circling my feet, a whirlwind of happy energy.

He was nothing like the listless puppy in the photos. He was lively and agile, like a champion high jumper.

I picked Diandian up and cuddled him, then turned to Cheng Yedu.

“If you don’t want to take care of him, I can.”

If it came down to it, I could take him abroad with me, find a pet-friendly apartment… it wasn’t impossible…

Suddenly, he lunged forward and kissed me, a rough, devouring kiss.

The puppy yelped and leaped out of my arms.

What was happening? Was this a post-breakup bonus? I hadn’t expected this kind of spicy scene today.

His nose bumped against mine as he bit at my lips, then he impatiently took off my glasses.

His chest pressed against me.

My mind went hazy. As I slid down the wall, he caught me, slung me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and threw me onto the sofa.

He was unbuttoning his shirt.

My sanity returned.

“Did you sleep with your old flame? I don’t do this with people who have multiple partners…”

He shot me a look loaded with meaning.

I sat up warily. “Then no. I’m not interested.”

“No! I didn’t!” he growled, pushing me back down.

Oh, good. No risks then.

It was even the angry sex I liked, although I still couldn’t figure out what he was so angry about.

But now that we were broken up, this was all a freebie. What he was thinking was none of my business.

…

We went on well into the night.

I drifted in and out of sleep. When I woke again, the sun was already bright.

Sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, illuminating his chest and abs. I couldn’t resist reaching out to touch them. The texture was dreamlike.

I was eating so well. Who would have thought I’d still be feasting like this after a breakup?

If I posted this on social media, the comment “Let me touch!” would get tens of thousands of likes from my sisters online.

Cheng Yedu’s voice, raspy with sleep, broke the silence. “Have you learned your lesson?”

My desire instantly shriveled.

He was always like this, using his good looks as a weapon, forcing me to admit to faults I didn’t have.

Over the past year, my lust had made me surrender and bow my head to him every time.

Last night, as part of our role-play, I had shamefully admitted I was wrong a dozen times.

But our story was over.

Was he still not done playing?

I spoke slowly and clearly. “This is just a friends-with-benefits situation. You don’t actually think I’m here to get back together with you, do you?”
