Sheng Qianxia felt like a broken music box that would never spin again.
Their belated first encounter had now become her disgrace.
He had ruined her life once more, taking away the possibility of her happiness!
All the beautiful things she had been looking forward to had turned into a dream that could never come true.
He marked her with a brand that belonged only to him, with dominant plundering and possessive intentions spread across her entire body.
At last, he said to her, "I will take responsibility."
Take responsibility?
Did he think that just by saying he would take responsibility, he could smooth over the harm he had done?
Was she supposed to kneel and thank him graciously?
Sheng Qianxia felt as though she had heard a huge joke and roared furiously:
"Gong Beiyao, just how much more must I despise you? Ruining my life is amusing to you, isn't it!"
His expression cold as ice, "Do you know that ninety-nine percent of the women in City A are waiting to sleep with me, and you call sleeping with me ruining you? You really think you're the top socialite in City A?"
"Keep your bed for that ninety-nine percent!"
Sheng Qianxia picked up her shattered clothes and put them on, intending to leave.
If possible, she never wanted to have anything to do with him again!
"If you hope to receive the sheets we rolled in last night at your engagement party, then go ahead and walk out." His tone was icy.
Her spine stiffened instantly.
"What do you want to do!?"
"Marry me."
"Ha." Her lips curled mockingly, "Keep your marriage for that ninety-nine percent as well!"
"Don't want to marry me?"
"What makes you think, just because I slept with you once, that I have to marry you?!" Sheng Qianxia angrily tried to leave.
Rage flickered across his face, his lips curling into a sinister smile.
"Are you so sure that your fiancé wants someone I've used before?"
His voice was so enthralling, yet the words he spoke were like a needle, painfully piercing the softest part of her heart.
Why must he hurt her?
It was like this before, and it was still the same now!
Her body trembled inexplicably, her voice even quivering slightly: "Gong Beiyao! You think everyone is as shallow as you!?"
"Shallow?" A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the performance of your 'meaningful fiancé' when he receives the sheets. I'm sure he'll want to know what the red on the sheets is."
Sheng Qianxia felt as if she had been plunged into an ice cellar.
She bit her lip fiercely and said with every word deliberate, "Coming here today is the biggest regret of my life! We should have disappeared from each other's worlds forever, just like the past three years, never to deal with each other again!"
Gong Beiyao's body was as rigid as iron.
Once, he had confessed his feelings to her, only to be told never to see her again!
Once, she had mercilessly told him that they could never be.
—I would never like you! Not before, not now, not ever, and never in the future!
Gong Beiyao's heart felt as though it had been crushed by a boulder.
Even after many years, that intense pain was still so vivid!
Then, he snapped back to reality and scoffed, "I remember, you just now quite enjoyed the feeling of being with me. Changing your tune so quickly to regret, do you want to experience it again?"
He yanked her body, pinning her against the cupboard.
