Chapter Nine, I am willing.

Mingming wanted to express his heartfelt feelings to her, but for some reason, upon hearing her voice, it felt as if something was blocking his throat, rendering him unable to utter a single word. All he could manage was a simple "oh" and just before hanging up, he remembered to say: "The board meeting is tomorrow, and I will be going to Beijing the day after."

What are you doing

Xie De's body pressed down like a mountain, leaving her no room to resist, and even less room to refuse.

"Are you a vampire?" Xin Yitian tilted his head and pushed him hard

Xie De issued a primal scream that was both painful and joyful, resembling the cry of some kind of animal

The sudden light caused Xin Yitian to instinctively close his eyes. Seizing the opportunity, he lowered his head to kiss her, initially with a tentative heart. Seeing that she did not resist, his heart began to race rapidly.

Xinyi Tian's entire body turned red, suspecting that he was a sadist. She leaned against the door, being turned over and over by him, tears almost bursting from the pain. She reached out and slapped him hard, with considerable force. However, he did not mind; the pain only fueled his primal instincts further. She could only plead, "Take it easy... I am human, unlike you, not an animal..." After a while, she cried out in anger, "How long are you going to keep this up?"

Xin Yitian seemed not to have heard, still standing crookedly, dozing against his arm. With a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened. The person beside him had their eyes closed and showed no reaction. Xie looked at her helplessly, a mischievous glint flashing in his eyes.

She awkwardly freed one hand, looking as if she had just woken up. As her shoulder slipped, the bag fell to the ground

He remained silent, burying his head in one side of her neck and sucking forcefully.

Then, I will pick you up after work

Xin Yitian detected his voice and furrowed her brows, saying: "I am at work"

He gently shifted his body, resting her head against the elevator wall without waking her, then stepped out in a swift motion, allowing the elevator doors to slowly close before him. The person inside, eyes closed and head tilted, stood in the corner holding a pile of clothes, completely unaware in their slumber

Oh. She could not stop him from whispering in her ear, so she could only respond perfunctorily. She caught that familiar scent from him again, clear and intense, lingering at her nostrils, which left her somewhat dazed. Sweet almond! A flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she suddenly remembered. Yes, it was the scent of sweet almond! The problem that had troubled her for months was resolved, and she felt a sense of enlightenment.

"Endure it." At this moment, Xin Yitian felt overwhelmed, not wanting to face him at all

In the end, she still hurt him

Xin Yitian was shaken to the point of almost falling apart, and in an instant, she became furious, shouting at him: "Isn't your happiness enough? I'm about to die! If you don't let me sleep right now, I'll show you what dying looks like!"

He reached out to grab the watch on the bedside table, "nine fifty-five"

Through the hints revealed in Wang Yishi's words, Xie Dehou gradually understood the reason behind Xin Yitian's unusual behavior that night. He naively believed that her relationship with Wei Xian had deteriorated, and specifically set aside an evening to travel a long distance to find her, filled with consolation and hope.

Xin Yitian's body was mostly pressed against the bed by him, her head buried in the quilt, making it difficult to breathe. She turned her head to indicate that she did not like this. Xie extended one hand to her face, turning her head to kiss her, while the other hand removed the lonely bra hanging from her shoulder. Xin Yitian felt as if her neck was about to break, and she waved her hand to hit his face, shouting, "Enough!" She struggled to turn over.

I am taking a bath

That depends on whether you are willing to cooperate

After a while, he urged again: "Hurry up!" Seeing that the people inside ignored him, he simply said: "I need to use the restroom."

She turned her head to look at him, "Aren't you going to work?"

Hmm?" she replied in a daze

There is nothing else, I will hang up. The students are still waiting outside

She shook her head, her entire face buried in the pile of clothes due to exhaustion

The unexpected joy that descended from the heavens immediately drove him into madness

Xie walked over and turned the door lock, seeing that she had locked it from the inside, he could only knock on the door and say: "Are you ready?"

He does not speak

Xie was pleased to see her smiling silently. He pulled her hands out from under her face, gripping both of her wrists with one hand and stretching them straight over her head. This position caused Xin Yitian's body to tense up. She gritted her teeth to endure the discomfort, hoping he would finish quickly. Sensing his intention, she quickly turned her head and warned him sternly: "Do not do it inside"

Thankful for her quick reflexes, he blocked with his arm and grumbled, "Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!" He closed the door with his foot, picked her up horizontally, and strode toward the bedroom, throwing her onto the bed as if to vent his dissatisfaction

"What are you doing?" she scolded, still in a state of shock

She furrowed her brows, letting out a painful moan. Unable to stop Xie De's actions, she could only lie there, her hands crossed under her forehead to alleviate the discomfort. When she could no longer bear it, she turned her head to glare at him, only to see him leaning in to kiss her again, which frightened her into quickly burying her head in her arm

Wei Xian remained silent.

A voice in her subconscious was condemning her: she had cruelly hurt another person's infatuation

Two people are standing in the corridor waiting for the elevator

Well then—he did not fight her for the blanket, but simply pulled out the mattress and laid it on the carpet in the room

"How many layers?" he asked, pressing the metal button with his right hand

Xin Yitian shook his head

A chance encounter, it suits my wishes

Xie was so furious that the veins on his forehead bulged out one by one, and the blood vessels in his body seemed as if they could burst at any moment, which was terrifying. Each word was squeezed out from between his teeth, "Yes, the most despicable thing about me is that I like you!"

She impatiently asked, "How exactly did you speak to her?" Seeing that he remained silent, she changed her approach and asked, "Then tell me, what did she say?" She pressed on with this question, her tone becoming somewhat aggressive.

Seeing her lost in thought, she was completely oblivious to what he was saying, which made Xie angry. "Do you even understand?" he said, shaking her body forcefully as he spoke.

Xin Yitian confirmed that the bathrobe was worn tightly and securely, ensuring that nothing would be exposed. Only then did she open the door, performed a kneeling bow, and said with annoyance, "Sir, please help yourself!"

Xin Yitian hung up the phone, and a tear silently slid down her face. She did not understand why she suddenly felt so sad. When she learned of Wei Xian's betrayal, she did not cry at all

Xin Yitian suddenly sat up, gasping for breath.

Xin Yitian paused for a moment and said, "I need to go to work"

His hand reached behind her, pulling the zipper of her skirt while observing her expression. Noticing her compliance and the absence of any reluctance, he finally realized what this night was about to signify

Xin Yitian took her wallet out of her bag, intending to open another room. Just as she reached the door, Xie darted past her like a leopard, swiftly pinning her against the door. He did not allow her any chance to resist, methodically stripping her of her clothes, his actions slow and deliberate, despicable and lewd.

After finishing work, Xin Yitian saw him waiting downstairs. After a moment of surprise, her expression turned indifferent. He walked over and asked her what was wrong, "Aren't you happy to see me?"

Xie De's car was parked at the entrance of the hotel, and he was sulking. "We have arrived!" He rudely shook awake the person who was sleeping soundly in the car. Xin Yitian opened her eyes and, still groggy, pushed open the car door and walked forward.

This is truly bizarre! She sat up in shock. She discovered that Xie was sitting in the chair opposite her, silently watching her, wearing a bathrobe, with his hair still wet, likely just having finished a shower. He appeared dazed, his eyes unfocused as if he were recalling something.

Oh, good. She stood there rubbing her eyes and holding her clothes, looking both obedient and well-behaved

Xin Yitian is conducting one-on-one interview training for a student studying in France. A young lady at the front desk hurriedly approached her, saying, "Teacher Xin, there's a phone call for you." She quickly apologized to the student and rushed to her seat to answer the phone, saying, "Hello, this is Xin Yitian." There was a moment of silence on the other end, and she took the receiver down to take a look, thinking it might be a poor signal, and raised her voice, saying, "Hello? Can you hear me?"

Xin Yitian was exhausted and signaled for him to carry her to bed to sleep. Xie, seeing that she could still fall asleep, felt a sense of unwillingness and slowly slid down, his dark head coming between her legs. Xin Yitian suddenly woke up, raised her foot, and kicked his shoulder with force, angrily saying: "Shut up!" He turned a deaf ear to her.

Xinyi Tian was initially startled and screamed, heavily sinking into the bedding. Subsequently, she curled her legs and lay on her side, maintaining the same position without moving, her back turned to him. Xie De walked over, sat down beside her, and seeing that she did not respond, he turned her body to face him.

Xin Yitian let out a soft sigh, allowing him to sit there alone, entangled in his struggles, while she seized the opportunity to catch some sleep. Unfortunately, the phone's ringtone woke her up once again. Seeing her eyes tightly closed and her lack of movement, Xie asked, "Aren't you going to answer?" Xin Yitian gestured for him to hand it over, took a glance, saw an unfamiliar number, and after a moment's thought, pressed the call button.

We have been unable to reach him. Since yesterday afternoon, there has been no news from him, and until now, he has neither returned home nor come to the office. Mr. Xie has never behaved this way! We are concerned that something unfortunate may have happened to him

I can no longer go out to dinner with you. Xin Yitian did not look at him, turning her head away and slowly saying: Tomorrow is the weekend, I am going to the Wei family for dinner, it has been agreed upon for a long time

No! She rejected it swiftly and decisively, then immediately changed to a pleading tone: "Don't come to pick me up. I... I am very confused right now. Please let me think it over."

"I am sorry," she murmured into the phone, the meaning of her words known only to herself. "I do not want to appear so hysterical and unapproachable; I am just, I am just too sad."

Xie did not take a shower, but instead turned around and came in, reaching out to pull her blanket.

Xie De allowed her to fumble around for quite some time, until she finally walked over slowly to the front desk to find the attendant, holding the room card up to the sensor lock. With a beep, the door lock opened automatically. He reached out and gently pushed the door, which opened silently. Xin Yitian glared at him with gritted teeth, kicking the door when she entered, throwing her clothes and bag onto the floor, and snatching the key in an attempt to lock him outside.

Xin Yitian let out a weak moan, realizing that all her previous attempts at concealment had been in vain

Xin Yitian hummed and said: "Your guarantee is placed here for now, and we will verify its value in the future. However, have you really made it clear to her? She won't cling to you and then harass me, will she?"

He finally carried her to the bed, but did not allow her to leave him. Their lower bodies were tightly pressed together. Xin Yitian felt extremely uncomfortable and struggled to get up. He pressed his hands on her waist and threatened in a hoarse voice: "If you don't sleep now, it will be dawn soon. Or do you want to go another round?"

She held the mindset of "If the enemy does not move, I will not move." When she saw Wang Yishi raise an eyebrow at her indifferently, she quickly nodded as a greeting, and both parties passed each other while pushing their carts. Her already poor mood plummeted to rock bottom; fearing another encounter with Wang Yishi, she decided not to buy anything and immediately checked out to leave.

"I am sorry," he apologized insincerely, burying his head in her neck and murmuring, "I didn't mean to..." He seemed to enjoy this action, licking and sucking his way down from the side of her neck

Xie departed, carrying with him resentment, anger, and despair.

He stood there without leaving, and soon pressed the down button. After a while, the elevator arrived again. Xin Yitian stood at the door, wide awake, glaring at him with a hint of anger on her face. She strode forward in a huff, rubbing her forehead repeatedly with her right hand, which was free of any clothing. Xie followed behind her, pretending to be concerned as he asked, "What happened? Did you bump into something?" His eyes were filled with the delight of a successful prank.

I told her over the phone. She didn't say much, just let out an "oh" and hung up

Xin Yitian ignored him, clutching her clothes with her arm and chin, her hand rummaging through her bag in search of the keys, but after a long time, she still could not find them. After confirming that they were not inside, she stood there wondering where the keys had gone.

She jumped out of bed, picked up the blanket to cover her chest, and asked warily, "What do you want to do?" Rubbing her arms covered in goosebumps, she couldn't help but curse, "Why is the air conditioning set so low? Don't you know I would be cold?" Unexpectedly, these few simple movements caused her to gasp in pain, and she was reluctant to look at how many bruises and love bites were on her body. Avoiding the sight, she rolled and crawled back to bed, burying her head deep into the blanket.

Go! Thank you for being a gentleman out of unwillingness and resentment, which has made me quite angry. I walked ahead, lost in my own thoughts. After taking a few steps, I turned back uneasily and saw her following behind with her head down. I left her behind again and pushed open the door to enter the hotel lobby. My temper was unpredictable, and my emotions were difficult to gauge.

She was awakened by the bright morning sunlight. Instinctively, she raised the back of her hand to shield her eyes, only to realize that she was completely unclothed. There were no clothes, no blanket, entirely naked, her body bent into a "bow" shape lying on her right side, one hand resting on her waist, the other casually placed beside her face, her hair fanned out—clearly, someone had arranged her sleeping form into this position.

Xie De could only crawl up from the warm and soft bed, putting on his clothes while asking, "When are you leaving?" Seeing that she was ignoring him, he raised his voice and asked, "What day are you going back to Beijing?" The reason he had dropped everything to find her yesterday was that he had learned she was going back, back to Wei Xian's side.

Miss Xin, I apologize for the interruption. May I ask if you have seen Mr. Xie?

He exerted great effort to control the emotions that were about to erupt, using all his strength to feign an indifferent expression, and casually said: "But it doesn't matter. You can marry whoever you want, it has nothing to do with me! Why should I demean myself when I am doing just fine?"

Xie was becoming impatient and banged on the door, "How long are you going to stay in there?"

Xin Yitian secretly cursed in her heart: "You are quite ruthless." In the end, she still fell asleep while feeling uncomfortable.

Well then—he took out his phone from his pocket, turned it on, and called Dong Quan, asking him to come to the "Jingxin Hotel" to pick him up

It is me, " said Xie De slowly.

Xin Yitian glared at him angrily, snorted coldly, and said with a disdainful expression: "Do you think you are so great? Weren't you also fooling around with her before?"

The curtains were drawn, and the light in the room instantly dimmed. She poked her head out and changed to a more comfortable position, the warm bedding making her feel drowsy again

She took out a few tissues and casually tidied herself up, lifting the quilt to put on her clothes one by one. Xie lay crookedly at the head of the bed, watching with great interest the vivid scene before him, akin to a lively "Spring Palace Picture".

In a couple of days. A muffled murmur came from under the quilt.

Dong Quan is probably really anxious, as even Xin Yitian on the other end of the phone can sense his worry. "Mr. Xie, we are certainly not worried; we are just afraid that someone may be detrimental to him"

Xin Yitian sensed the danger of this action, quickly covered his mouth with his hand to divert his attention, and asked, "What time is it?"

Xin Yitian glanced at a certain person who was as still as a mountain, sniffed, and asked: "What happened? Is there something wrong?"

Xin Yitian felt a sense of emptiness and, after hastily offering him a few words of comfort, quickly hung up the phone. She turned to someone and said: "Did you hear that? If you don't show up soon, the sky is going to fall!"

The bed is not good; place the quilt on the floor

Well then, let's put this matter to rest. But don't think that I will let it go so easily—" As she recalled Wang Yishi humiliating her for being frigid, a surge of anger erupted within her. Immediately, the image of Xie burying his head in her neck and sucking came to her mind, and a sense of guilt towards Wei Xian arose.

Upon returning to his residence, Wei Xian's call finally came through. He stated that he had clarified everything with Wang Yishi and assured that he would never again do anything to wrong her

Xin Yitian stood in the corner of the room holding a blanket, watching him busy himself without intervening. When he finished, she said: "Perfect, you sleep on the floor and I sleep in the bed." After saying this, she quickly got onto the bed

Xie tightly embraced her from behind, calling her name over and over, "Xin Yi, Xin Yi—"

Xin Yitian did not want others to know that they were together, so he said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. He is a grown man, not a child, he won't get lost."

I have never been this happy, it feels like a dream... He is so happy, so happy that it makes him feel afraid, worried that it will all disappear the moment he opens his eyes

He remained silent, wearing a hesitant expression

He went on a business trip to Hong Kong, and when he called her again, it was already two days later. However, no one answered her phone. He recalled that she had mentioned last time that she left her phone at home, and lacking the patience to wait for her to finish work, he took out the business card she had given him from his wallet and dialed her company's phone number

It turns out that she is not the only one who is deeply invested in this matter; she also struggles and wrestles with it for him. Xie felt a sudden lightness in her heart and said softly, "Alright, but please do not keep me waiting too long"

Before she could climb onto the bed, Xie grabbed one of her feet and pulled it outward, nearly causing her to fall. He reached out his hand and effortlessly pulled her into his embrace

"I am the one to blame." Wei Xian's voice sounded both remorseful and dejected, "I should not have let you down."

Xinyi Tian, upon hearing him say this, thought that as long as she satisfied him, she would be able to sleep peacefully. Therefore, she endured and made every effort to cooperate with him.

Key

Package

Xin Yitian returned to Beijing a day early, so when Xie De went to the hotel to find her, he found no one there. He was quite unhappy and called her. She responded with a simple "I'm tired" and hung up without any explanation. He suppressed his displeasure, understanding her fatigue from traveling back and forth, and hoped she would take the time to rest and recover her spirits.

The air conditioning in the room was set very low, and she shivered as she jumped into the blanket

Xie De's face turned a shade of iron blue as she realized her decision, and with a blade-like sharpness in her words, she mercilessly questioned her: "He is already fooling around with Wang Yishi, and you still want to marry him? Are you out of your mind?"

Xin Yitian was stunned at the scene. Is it true? Did she really call out that name in her dream? A wave of intense dizziness struck her, and she recalled that phrase again

Xie lay at the foot of the bed, raising his head to look at her with an innocent expression, his eyes gleaming with ferocity and full of energy. She immediately understood that as long as the two of them continued to be together, she would not have a moment of peace tonight

Xie did not care at all, his tongue gently licked and kissed her neck, soothing her by saying: "Don't be nervous—doesn't this feel nice?"

After someone succeeded, Xin Yitian pushed him away and sat up, pulling down only half of the silk stockings from her knees. She picked up the clothes from the floor to cover her chest and walked towards the bathroom, glaring at him fiercely and saying, "Do not come in!"

You really don't know where he got such a strange hobby. Xin Yitian naturally refused to comply, saying, "No! I want to cover it."

She felt someone lying down beside her, so she simply turned her back to him and closed her eyes. The other person was tugging at her blanket, and she pressed down on it with one hand, saying, "Pull the curtains shut." After speaking, she yawned. She was as tired as if she hadn't slept all night, lacking any strength. Her nose was stuffy, showing signs of a cold.

Despite his proud words, the unwillingness, resentment, and injustice deep within him could not be suppressed no matter how hard he tried. He was about to leave, but unable to contain his anger, he turned around and shouted: "Do you think you truly love Wei Xian? You don't even care about his infidelity! You only want to get married! You even deceive me by saying it's a secret crush, yet you whisper his name in your dreams! All along, the one you have loved in your heart is only him!" You even deceive me by saying it's a secret crush, yet you whisper his name in your dreams! All along, the one you have loved in your heart is only him!

Although Xin Yitian felt confused inside, she regarded the events of that night merely as an accident. She returned to Beijing, and Wei Xian neither sought her out nor called her, which infuriated her. To make matters worse, she ran into Wang Yishi while shopping at the supermarket after work that evening. There was only one large supermarket in the nearby community, and as Wang Yishi approached with her cart, the two encountered each other on a narrow path. Xin Yitian insisted on pretending not to see her, but that was simply too much of a self-deception and an act of burying her head in the sand.

Xie sighed and picked it up. He found the key inside, glanced at the room number on the door card, and hung the bag on her wrist. The elevator arrived, and there was no one inside. He pushed her forward and said irritably, "Stand still, you need to sleep back in the room."

Clothes! He forcefully pulled the clothes out from the back seat and shoved them into her hands

He pressed her sideways to the ground. Xin Yitian was unable to move, her thigh forced to rest on his arm. After futile resistance, she had no choice but to compromise, saying: "Alright, just this once, let's finish and then sleep."
