nJade Condos stood like a pillar under the painted blue sky glistening with golden rays of light from the rising sun.

nInside Yue Ling's penthouse, she woke up exactly at 7am. Her arms stretch out and she purr like a cat on her soft and comfortable king sized bed.

nSitting up, the blanket covering her slid down revealing her naked upper body. However, her attention was not on herself, but the empty spot next to her.

nThere was no sign of wrinkles at all.

nRecalling the image before she doze into slumber, Yue Ling scoff in self-mockery.

nSo, after last night's 'deed' he really did leave..

nBut what could she have done? Ask him to stay?

nNo, she wouldn't let that happen. It was partly her fault for letting things get out of control too.

nShe had already decided that if he was to leave, then she wouldn't blame him.

nShaking the thoughts away, she lift the blanket and sluggishly makes her way to the bathroom.

nShe pursed her lips in frowning and cursed inwardly at Lu Tian for not even showing her a tiny bit of mercy.

n'That damn man! How can he have so much stamina?!'

nHer body ached all over, even in the places that shouldn't hurt.

nAfter Yue Ling finished with the toilet, she washed her hands and reach for her toothbrush. Squeezing the toothpaste, she glance at her reflection in the mirror and her entire body turned into a statue.

nThe ends of her mouth twitch and her eyes fell out of their sockets.

nWas this really her? Had she always looked like this in the morning?

nFor gods sake, even she couldn't recognize herself in the mirror.

nHer hair that was supposed to be in a bun, now looked like a birds nest. It looked like she had gotten into a cat fight!

nHer lips were swollen red and her fair skin was covered in red love marks, especially on her neck and chest.

nShe let out a long sigh and put her hand holding the toothbrush on her hip, while she lift her other hand and pinch the space between her brows.

nEvery time she wakes up in the morning, she never cared to look carefully at herself in the mirror.

nBut now that she saw herself, she really envies those women in movies who would wake up in the morning and still looked on point.

nThinking of something, she chuckle in her own foolishness.

nNo wonder he left. If she was him, she would probably leave too. Who would want to wake up first thing in the morning to see a crazy looking person next to them.

nIgnoring her crazy appearance, she brush her teeth and step into the shower.

nLast night, she didn't get to shower because after Lu Tian ate her tofu, she was too exhausted and fell asleep right away.

nWhile showering, the warm water from the shower head pour onto her skin, making her body relax.

nHer mind drifted to how she saw him leave out of the room and how she woke up alone on the lonely king size bed.

nIt was clear that the man had gone back to his penthouse. The wrinkle free side of the bed was proof. Right?

nYue Ling vowed to bury last night's activity deep in the back of her heart. She will not let herself be tempted by him or any other man again. She felt humiliated for letting him eat her and just disappear without a word. How foolish of her!

nAfter she washed up and dried her hair, she put on a light gray t-shirt dress.

nKnowing that it was still early in the morning, she decided to cook herself breakfast.

nWalking towards the kitchen, the faint aroma of bacon enter her noses with the sound of flowing water, as if someone was washing the dishes.

nShe frown at the smell and sound.

n

"Did I forget to turn the tv off?

"

nstepping into her kitchen, she halted with her mouth open into an 'O' and her eyes widely open.

n'Holy crap! Why is he here?! Didn't he leave?!'

n

n

nStanding in her kitchen was a tall figure with his back facing her.

nThe man had the perfect body structure, even from behind he still looked good! The plain black T-shirt on him outlined his upper body nicely and the light grey lounge pants wrapped around his legs like an armor.

nHe looked comfortable, like he was standing in his own home.

nThe water shut off, and Lu Tian turns around. Seeing Yue Ling standing in a daze, his heart melted at the sight of her.

n

"You're awake. I've already prepared breakfast, come eat. You need all the energy you can get after experiencing an intense workout.

"

nYue Ling pout her lips and glare at Lu Tian with inexpressible eyes.

n'Workout' your head!! After eating me, you want to eat my food too?! Hmmf! No shame at all!!'

nGlaring at Lu Tian, Yue Ling suddenly felt that the man was somehow treating her like a guest and he was owner.

nShe frown at the thought, then letting out a deep breath, she pinch the space between her brows for the second time.

nRaising one palm out, she asked,

"Hold on. What are you doing?

"

n

"Cooking.

"

n

"I can see that, but what I mean is, what are you doing in MY house? Why are you still even here? Shouldn't you be next door at YOUR own place?

"

n

"Because I'm cooking.

"

n

"....

"

nYue Ling's mouth twitched.

nShe suddenly felt speaking with Lu Tian just made her IQ and EQ drop into one digit.

n

"I will compensate you for your time, so you can go now...

"

n

"....

"

n'Wait, that doesn't sound right..'

nHer words sounded like she was paying a male prostitute after she had her way with him.

nShe looks at the man and she didn't know what to say at all!

nLu Tian squint his eyes and glare at Yue Ling. He clenched his teeth and growl in a low voice,

"You're telling me to leave?

"

n

"...

"

nA slight chill crawl on Yue Ling's skin making her gulp when she heard Lu Tian's words.

nWhy does he sound so angry? Did I offend him by making it sound like he was a cheap male prostitute?

nTaking a deep breath, Yue Ling tried to reason with the man. However, seeing his dark and dangerous eyes staring into her soul, she was at a loss for words.

n

"....

"

nIn the end, she could only ask him directly,

"What do you want then? If it's within my reach, I can give it to you.

"

n

"You know what I want.

"

nLu Tian's voice sounded deadly and murderous, like someone had offended him badly.

n

"....

"

nYue Ling wanted to cut open the man's skull and see if his brain was still working properly.

n

"I wouldn't be asking you if I knew what you want.

"

nLu Tian stare intensely at the woman, he was angry that she wanted him to leave. He knew just by looking at her eyes. However, since she didn't know what he wants, he'll say it loud and clear.

n

"Take responsibility.

"

n

"Fine, I'll— Eh?! What?!!

"

nYue Ling was tongue-tied, her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish.

n

"W-wait.

" She pinch the space between her brows for the third time,

"You want me to take r-responsibility? Why are you saying it like I raped you? It was clearly mutual between us when we had se—-..

"

nHer cheeks turned crimson red realizing what she was saying.

n'Dammit! How can someone know no shame?!'

nLu Tian looks at Yue Ling with his mastered supreme poker face,

n

"You agreed to be mine. So naturally, you have to take responsibility. If not, then I'll take responsibility since you are mine.

"

n

".....
