Chapter 14
14: 14 Apologies Are Not Enough 14: 14 Apologies Are Not Enough An Ruo was 167 cm tall, which was considered quite tall among girls.
Yet, standing in front of Tang Yuchen, she was still a lot shorter than him.
The man looked down at her from above, his eyes dark and heavy, “Move aside, don’t waste my time.”
“…I’m sorry, would an apology from me work?” An Ruo said submissively.
She thought that by showing weakness, Tang Yuchen would accept her apology.
Her chin was pinched by the man’s slender and strong fingers, forcing An Ruo to look up and meet his gaze.
Tang Yuchen’s mouth curled into a smirk, his eyes filled with naked mockery.
He was mocking her, mocking her current submission, mocking her compromise and weakness.
An Ruo was embarrassed, her face slightly red, and her eyes uncomfortably flickering.
“An Ruo, aren’t you usually stubborn, good at opposing me?
Now you come to apologize, where are your self-respect, your pride, your stubbornness?”
His words were really unpleasant!
An Ruo was both embarrassed and angry.
She glared at him and said angrily, “Do you think I want to beg you?
It’s you who forced me to beg.
You deliberately terminated the contract just to see me bow down.
Now that I have bowed, aren’t you satisfied?”
“Not bad, still so feisty.
Is this how you beg someone?”
An Ruo bit her lip, feeling somewhat regretful.
“Then I apologize to you again, I’m sorry, please forgive my rudeness.”
“Not sincere enough.”
An Ruo bowed respectfully to him, “I’m really very sorry!”
Tang Yuchen crossed his arms, raising his eyebrows, “An Ruo, just apologizing is not enough.”
An Ruo looked up, knowing he was deliberately making it difficult, yet she was helpless.
“What else do you need me to do?”
The man suddenly leaned close to her, his strong physique bringing an intimidating presence.
An Ruo instinctively wanted to avoid him, but she forcibly held herself back.
She stared into Tang Yuchen’s eyes, her gaze not daring to drift down, not daring to look at his bare chest.
Tang Yuchen’s dark pupils also stared at her, eyes carrying a profound heat.
What his gaze implied, An Ruo could not possibly be unaware.
She felt like a prey under the claws of a beast, fearfully awaiting the death sentence.
Just when she thought of backing away, a strong arm forcefully wrapped around her waist, cutting off her retreat.
Tang Yuchen’s arm was very strong; even though he had just come out of the water, the burning heat from his hand, transmitted through her thin clothes, almost scorched her skin.
An Ruo was tightly held in his embrace, smelling his unique scent, feeling his warmth and his strength.
Her heart panicked, struggling uncomfortably.
“Young Master Chen, what are you doing?” Her voice carried a tremor she herself didn’t notice.
Tang Yuchen lowered his head and dropped a light kiss on the corner of her mouth, causing An Ruo to shudder, frozen stiff.
“Woman, don’t you understand what I want to do?” he whispered in her ear, his breath hot, his voice low and ambiguously.
“…”
“Honestly, you taste quite nice.
One night in exchange for a partnership with the An family, how about it?”
An Ruo’s body trembled faintly.
Tang Yuchen tightened his grip, holding her even closer.
One hand wrapped around her waist and the other gently caressed the back of her head, whispering tenderly like a lover.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s just one night.
We’re already husband and wife, you should let go a bit.
Besides, whether it’s once or twice, it’s all the same.
I really don’t understand what you are fussing about.”
