She found herself lying on the bed she had owned when she was still twenty-two, extremely happy because she had a good night's sleep. Ever since her marriage to Lu Shen, Hui Yin had either gone to bed late because of helping Lu Shen with his several work documents, or because she was being plagued with endless nightmares.
So she opened the door with a smile, which instantly dissolved once she saw that it was Lu Shen.
Lu Shen's forehead creased. He found that this girl had been behaving oddly since last night. Usually, she opened the door with a frown, but once she saw that it was him, it would quickly blossom into a smile.
Maybe...she was expecting someone else?
Hui Yin felt her waist being grabbed, but before she could protest, the words died in her mouth as Lu Shen's mouth covered hers.
She jerked her head away, but the arm around her waist tightened.
A hand grabbed her chin to keep her steady, and Hui Yin was helpless as Lu Shen kissed her roughly...his tongue tangled with hers, and the resolve she had made last night began to crumble.
Hui Yin was nearly out of breath when Lu Shen finally pulled away, and she looked at him with wide eyes. A second later, she began to feel uncomfortable, as something warm and hard began to press against her stomach.
Lu Shen pushed her away.
"Go inside and change," he said, his voice cold. "We're leaving in five minutes. Don't be late again."
Immediately after saying that, he walked away without looking back at her.
Hui Yin felt like he had slapped her.
So he had only kissed her to punish her. After being treated by him like a slave in her previous lifetime, had she still not learned her lesson?
Hui Yin bitterly laughed, hating herself for being so weak.
If she couldn't fight for herself in this lifetime, then what was the use of being reborn?
...
After she got into his car, they immediately drove off. As sceneries passed her by, Hui Yin realized that the route was starting to look familiar.
She looked at Lu Shen.
"Are we going to the airport?"
He didn't even look at her. "Yes."
Hui Yin remembered in a flash what had happened in her previous lifetime when Lu Shen decided to bring her with him to the airport.
He had told her in terse words that the girl he was going to pick up was his childhood friend, and that Hui Yin should better be nice to her, because they were close to each other.
The Hui Yin of that lifetime had felt excited that her fiancé was finally introducing his friends to her, so when they went to the airport, Lu Shen's precious 'childhood friend' instantly became Hui Yin's best friend.
She was even happy that the girl from abroad seemed so nice, always looking out for her...however, the Hui Yin of that previous lifetime did not notice the flash of intense jealousy on the girl's face when she realized that Hui Yin was actually Lu Shen's fiancée.
Because of that, Hui Yin had been completely vulnerable to the girl's devious tricks and plans...
As they arrived at the airport, Hui Yin's lips slowly curved into a sneer.
