Aren’t You Tired

“This is my business. It has nothing to do with you!”

Lin Hanxing’s eyes flashed with coldness as she tugged her hand and turned around to leave. However, she had barely taken a couple of steps before a pair of strong arms enveloped her in a hug and dragged her into the alley beside them.

The alley was much quieter compared to the market.

“Let go of me!” ordered Lin Hanxing, her eyes blazing with anger as she was held against a wall.

In the dark of the night, Lei Xiao remained arrogant. He was as reckless as he was normally.

“Do you know how high your guard is?”

His fingers brushed across her face and that tiny mole.

At that moment, everything tingled like electricity!

Lei Xiao drew closer bit by bit, reducing the distance between the two of them until there was barely any space left to advance.

“You never allow people to get to know you better, not even a single bit!”

It did not matter whether it was when he asked her why she hated Jiang City or even the time when he brought up the Lin family of Jiang City.

Lei Xiao had already slipped his hand amongst Lin Hanxing’s hair, tightly gripping the back of her head.

That delicate oval face with snow-white skin exuded a frosty air, her pale lips were tightly pursed together. With each word he uttered, he drew even closer to her. Right up to the very last moment, Lei Xiao’s lips had begun to approach her. Their breaths were almost intertwined.

“As for me, I wish to be the first person to break into your world!”

As those words were spoken, Lei Xiao ruthlessly kissed her. His overpowering aura rushed toward her—she was completely unprepared!

People continued to bustle outside the dark alley and she could hear the sound of tourists laughing. Lin Hanxing had never done anything this crazy in her life.

This was not the first time that he kissed her. However, the reason that caused Lin Hanxing to resist it was herself…

It seemed like she had started to grow used to the way this man kissed her!

‘Oh…’

As soon as she came to this realization, Lin Hanxing wanted to push away but it seemed like Lei Xiao had already figured out everything that she was thinking…

He had nipped her chance of escaping in the bud long ago!

She had no idea how much time had passed before…

If it was not for the fact that he was concerned that Lin Hanxing would asphyxiate because she was unable to catch her breath, Lei Xiao would not have been willing to release her!

He pressed his thin lips to her temple and gently caressed it.

“To have kept this secret on your own for so many years…

Aren’t you tired?”

In her dazed state, Lin Hanxing heard him question her.

….

Tan Bide was currently on the phone. Perhaps it was because he was too anxious as the cold sweat on his forehead never stopped appearing.

“Yes, this is how it happened.”

There was a long pause on the other end of the phone. Every second that the silence continued, the stress Tan Bide felt grew.

“So you’re saying that she looks a lot like…”

When the person on the phone said the name that had not been mentioned in an extremely long time, Tan Bide felt a chill run down his back.

“Yes, she looks a lot like her. I was staring at her for ages!”

“You should know what to do!”

Even across the phone, the viciousness of that voice could be clearly heard! Tan Bide gripped his cell phone tightly…

…

It was late into the night.

Lin Hanxing tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She did not know how long it had been as she stretched her hand to retrieve the silver hairpiece that the man had gifted her earlier that night.

The life-like lotus flowers appeared even more beautiful under the moonlight.

‘To have kept this secret on your own for so many years… Aren’t you tired?’

How could she not be tired? To carry such hatred as she lived through each day, it was about to completely ruin her life!

How many nights had she woken up in fright from her nightmares!

How many dreams have she had where she was enveloped in painful suffering!

She balanced the lotus hairpin on her lips as her long lashes lowered slightly, hiding her emotions.

‘As for me, I wish to be the first person to break into your world!’

Somehow, what emerged in her mind were that man’s domineering words and actions…
