Chapter 399
Jian Han was blocked. She stretched her hand out to find her keys.
At this moment, the main door of the condominium unit opposite hers was opened. A small boy around five or six years old stood by the side of the door. He had a good look at how both of them were stuck with one another. “Ah!” he screamed out before he quickly covered his eyes. “Grandma, I am going to have a sty in my eyes.”
Grandma, who was inside the house, heard his words and ran out. She had a good look at the couple who were firmly embracing one another. Although she was elderly, her face turned red. She started to chide them, “Aiyo, they are really shameless now, can’t even control it at all…”
Jian Han buried herself deeper into the man’s embrace. They went inside after opening the door, and Zhou Dayuan used his long leg to close the door with a loud Bang!
In the darkness, they kissed for a while in the lobby area. With a laugh, Zhou Dayuan asoed, “Why is the grandma that lives opposite you so furious? Are you still the same as you were in the past — not knowing how to manage your relationship with your neighbours?”
In the past, when they were living together in England, not only did she not know how to take care of herself, she would even offend the neighbours. He was often baffled, she was a scholar from Oxford, why did she not have any EQ at all?
Jian Han understood what he was trying to ask. Both of her slim legs were on his waist, and she was unwilling to come down. She pouted her pink lips as she punched him. Her voice was extremely attractive as she said, “Was she? That grandmother wanted me and her…grandson to go on a blind date. I didn’t agree, and now she saw that I have a…man, she would naturally feel unhappy.”
Zhou Dayuan heard her words and froze. He used two fingers to pin her jaw. His aura was dangerous as he said, “When did this happen? How come I didn’t know about it? Jian Han, there are so many people living on Earth. You are merely a neighbour of that grandmother. She doesn’t know you too well. How did she get interested in having you as a granddaughter-in-law?”
Zhou Dayuan’s irises contracted violently, his gentle and romantic gaze turned fierce in an instant. He lowered his gaze to look at the small woman on the bed once again.
She…wanted to leave?
Heh.
Hehe.
That woman who was sleeping underneath him, who curled up around him multiple times, calling out his name actually wanted to leave?
What did she take him for?
Her final stop in T City, a…previous guest she’s slept with?
Zhou Dayuan felt as he’d been stabbed in the heart. There was an instant wave of pain that coursed through his entire body. That feeling of heaven that he got from her body instantly turned into hell.
He thought that if he could give up all of his ego and pride to treat her well, she would be moved.
It turned out not to be so.
This woman, was really so cruel!
“Hello, Doctor Jian, are you listening? I heard that our Director Tang has also been handing his work over to others. Director Tang also wants to return back to Singapore. Doctor Jian, are you leaving together with Director Tang? When can all of us be invited to your wedding banquet?”
“Hello, Doctor Jian, Doctor Jian…”
Beep beep. The phone call was coldly hung up.
…
Jian Han had a nap. It was a peaceful slumber without any dreams. She slowly opened her eyes and touched the space beside her. Her hand was empty, and there was no one.
She fluttered her long lashes in a blur. The woman’s voice was just like a little kitten’s, gentle and hoarse. She used strength in her right shoulder as she continued to search, “Dayuan… Da…”
Zhou Dayuan was standing at the side of the window.
The man was dressed in a shirt and trousers. He placed one of his hands in his pocket. He held a cigarette in his right hand. His back was facing her, so she could only see half of the man’s unclear side profile.
The thin, light-yellow, flowy curtains were draped. The chill of autumn wind blew over, and the lights lit outside made him look even more lanky and strong. He was totally the epitome of what a young man of good conduct would look like.
Jian Han’s face was still hot. She placed her fingers on the bed sheets as she tried to get up, and it was only then that she realized her thighs were soft. That man…had removed his refined exterior, and he was as strong as a wolf.
A few months ago, she had never dared to think that she would have such times with him.
“Dayuan….” Jian Han sat up and came down from the bed slowly. Her small, snow-white feet stepped onto the carpet, and she came behind him. She stretched both of her small hands to grab onto his strong, toned abdomen. She nudged him lovingly. “Dayuan, why are you smoking?”
Zhou Dayuan took a puff of smoke. He spat out a thin gust of smoke when he parted his lips slightly. He smiled coldly and haughtily, without a single ounce of warmness. “You don’t like to me smoke?”
“No.” Jian Han hugged him tightly, and she was coy and shy as she said, “I don’t like it. Smoking harms your health, and also…didn’t you want me…to give birth to a child for you?”
She wanted to tell him that, actually, she did not take any medication at all.
From the first time he touched her.
She had yet to say anything, both of her small hands were pushed away by the man’s fingers. There was a lack of warmth in her embrace, and the man walked away. He strode over lazily to the drawer beside the bed. He bent down to stub the cigarette in his hands into the ashtray.
“Jian Han, I realized that I have never known you. What is and what isn’t the truth with you? Looking at me like this, do you think that you have succeeded?”
It wasn’t until then that Jian Han realized that man behaving abnormally. He stood up straight and looked in her direction. There was a smile on the corners of his lips, but his expression was icy cold.
He was suddenly so cold towards her.
Jian Han was suddenly in a daze. Her expression was a little confused as she said, “Da…yuan, You… What is wrong?”
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Dayuan laughed mockingly, and he lifted his eyebrows up coldly. “Oh, there is nothing much. It is only when I suddenly had a look at you, I felt that I don’t have any interest anymore. I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
Jian Han’s irises contracted, the pinkish red on her face that was due to her sleepiness disappeared immediately. Her face turned pale white, and she stuttered, “You… What did you say? Play…”
Play?
He did not want to play with her anymore?
It turned out that he only wanted to play around with her?
Jian Han took a step backwards. She used an extremely alien expression to judge the man standing before her. A few hours ago, he was still sweet and loving towards her, and now, it seemed like he had changed into an entirely different person.
Zhou Dayuan looked at this woman coldly.She looked as if she was undergoing a huge blow to her. She was frail and weak, just like a small blade of grass, as if she would faint in the next moment.
Her eyes were lost and full of disbelief. She looked at him with an extremely hurt expression.
She was so innocent.
She acted as if she were so innocent.
The atmosphere in the room froze. Zhou Dayuan felt that it was suffocating, and he did not want to stay for a second longer. He did not want to be cheated by this woman’s innocent and frail look once again.
He walked away.
