Chapter 24 Excessive Rejection had Turned This Man Sadistic.
A snort escaped from Lu Zhengya. The tingling pain in the back of his head constantly reminded him of Bai Jinli. "Damn woman, how dare she try to break my skull. She will pay for this, she has to pay!!"
Watching his angered superior, a complex and confused feeling swirled within Bai Yan. He muttered unhappily in his heart.
Pardon me for being straightforward. You wished the best for her when you splurged 20 million, just to bring her onto the show. Yet now, you want revenge. Sir, I have never seen a method like this before.
Of course, those words would stay buried in his heart forever.
Then again, this is Sir. Everything he does has a reason. He is always right.
From his observations, Bai Yan could deduce the course of events.
An audacious woman had drugged Lu Zhengya during the banquet. Unfortunately for her, she had never expected that he had a strong immunity to these toxins, causing her to lose her chance.
Similarly, Miss Jinli had been drugged. Under its influence, she had mistakenly entered Sir's room.
Following the cliches, it should had been a hot, steamy night for both of them.
Yet, reality rarely went as planned.
Sir had refused to admit it. But, how could Bai Yan not tell?
He knew that Jinli disliked Lu Zhengya's advances and had knocked him out forcefully. As he imagined that scene, an urge to laugh sprouted within his heart.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang sternly, shattering his thoughts, "What are you thinking?"
Hearing the question, Bai Yan's head whipped up and met Lu Zhengya's unexpected gaze.
Professionally, he immediately shook off his thoughts, tidied his expression and cleared his throat. "This subordinate was thinking just how lucky Ms Jinli was. She would be elated to know of your thoughtfulness. "
Hearing those words, Lu Zhengya's expression softened, his heart appeased. At that moment, Jinli was also flooding his mind.
What a terrible personality that woman, Jinli, has. How dare she use a wine bottle to hit me! I bet she's quite a dunce too! Otherwise, her career wouldn't be in this pitiful state. Looks like she has nothing remarkable, other than that bewitching face.
However, that face alone….
As these thoughts flowed through his mind, his vision blurred as a familiar urge burst from his lower body, engulfing his mind.
Ever since that fateful day, his body would uncontrollably recall their interactions. The memory of their bodily contact, her soft, snow-white skin and the exchange of their hot, steamy breath...
With it came an uncontrollable urge, surging forcefully up, from his lower body to his mind. He could feel his cognitive abilities escape him bit by bit.
For a man like Lu Zhengya, that was a rare sight.
More accurately, it was not just rare. It just never happened.
Lu Zhengya was a man devoid of emotions. Quite simply, he was just a cold, living human shell. Even towards his parents, he held no warmth of love. Towards hetero relations, he never even cared.
Lusting for a lady. This was the first time he had ever had such thoughts.
He believed that for a man of his status, there was no need to be subtle, no need to woo her, and no need to suppress his thirst. In his opinion, it was just a simple matter of gaining her, of bringing her to his side.
Hence, he did not put any thought into such an elementary level task. He believed Bai Yan would be sufficient to oversee it. Just like Bai Yan, Lu Zhengya had never imagined that a lady who would reject his affection existed -- excluding the rejection she'd made while intoxicated.
Yet, Bai Jinli had done that exact thing. What's more, according to Bai Yan, he was not the slightest bit on her mind. This same woman had rejected him not once, but twice!
What unprecedented behaviour. In his lifetime, Lu Zhengya had only experienced the voluntary submission of love to him. Never had he been rejected, not even once.
With that said, Lu Zhengya had changed his mind. Initially, Bai Jinli was meant to be a plaything for him, a toy to be thrown away when he was done with. Now, just simply getting her body was not enough to quench his desires. He had to get her everything, both her heart and her body.
When this woman falls for me, my torn, rejected heart can finally….
As this plot went through his mind, the corner of his lip curled subconsciously into an unsettling, sinister grin.
