With the deafening music, men and women were dancing. The charming laser lights kept flashing. Through the swaying red wine glass, she saw Jiang Kaiwei’s deep and blurred eyes. He obviously drank a little too much. His eyes were bright red, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He looked more lovely than usual like a big rabbit.

He showed her the text message on his cell phone. “Your brother said that you value a lover over your family. Your family has prepared a birthday party for you. But you didn’t go back. Instead, you ran out to drink with me.”

Xia Xiaowan smiled and said, “I like it.”

“Only the two of us? Is there anyone else?”

Xia Xiaowan hesitated for a moment and said, “Maybe Yajing will come. She said she would come later.”

Jiang Kaiwei seemed to be in a good mood. He laughed and said, “It will be better if she doesn’t come.”

When Xia Xiaowan heard him say this, she became happy and said, “Why? Don’t you usually like her?”

Jiang Kaiwei did not answer her but gave her a meaningful look.

Xia Xiaowan’s heart was beating fast. She held the wine glass with a nervous expression. Because she drank, her cheeks were red and hot. In the dim light of the lamp, she looked a little shy. “Jiang Kaiwei, am I beautiful?”

“Of course,” Jiang Kaiwei blinked his bright eyes. “You are very beautiful.”

Xia Xiaowan was still nervous, her hands sweating. But she looked at him bravely. “Then, do you like me?”

“Yes.” Jiang Kaiwei said casually, “You are Nanze’s younger sister, and I certainly like you!”

Xia Xiaowan was a little disappointed. “If I weren’t Xia Nanze’s younger sister, would you still like me?”

Jiang Kaiwei stared at her and suddenly raised his head to drink up his wine. His eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at her warmly. “I like you.”

She was stunned. Unprecedented ecstasy swept over her, drowning her. From the kiss in Hawaii at the age of sixteen until now, she had loved him for seven whole years. However, he had always played cold and hot and been indifferent to her. The more he was like this, the more fascinated she became. Many times, she struggled and said to herself again and again, “Forget it, I should just forget it like this.” However, she was so obsessed with him that she still went to see him.

She was the moth that darted to a flame, and he was her only light and heat.

“Then, shall we date?” Her hand holding the wine glass was shaking, and her heart was beating like it was going to jump out of her throat. But she finally said it.

Her face was simply red like a big apple, making people want to take a bite. Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, shining under the light. She looked at him expectantly.

He reached out and covered the back of her hand. He held it tightly and said in a low voice, “Okay, let’s date.”

It was so noisy all around. But she could hear her own heartbeat like dense drum beats, which were chaotic and disorderly.

When she was still in a daze, he had already leaned over and kissed her. She got dizzy for a moment and grabbed his clothes tightly. She felt like she was dreaming. She had waited for this moment so long in hesitation and struggle, thinking that she would be hopeless in this life. But in the end, it came. The heavens had treated her well and gave her the best birthday present.

His lips were as hot as fire and as smooth as a fish as if he had been thirsty for a long time. And she was a spring that perfectly poured down in front of him. So he hungrily took her while she gave an enthusiastic response…

All these years, he rarely kissed her. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would give her a light kiss like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Sometimes, he did not even get close to her lips. It was as if she was his taboo and could not be touched.

But now, he was so passionate that he ignited her as well. After kissing for an unknown period, Xia Xiaowan only felt that the oxygen was being extracted from her lungs bit by bit. She was about to lose her breath. Finally, she gently pushed him away, only to find that at some point in time, she was already in his arms, and his hand had already been in her clothes. Although she was lively and outgoing, she was still very conservative in this kind of thing. So she hurriedly got out of his arms. Her face was so red that it was about to drip blood. She did not dare to look at him. When she tried to hide her shyness by drinking the wine, she got choked in panic. She coughed so hard that it was earth-shattering. He patted her back gently with his hot hand like a considerate boyfriend.

“No,” Xia Xiaowan thought sweetly. “From now on, he is already my boyfriend.”

Jiang Kaiwei seemed very happy. He poured one glass of wine after another into his mouth. Xia Xiaowan was a little uneasy and urged him to drink less and reached out to grab his glass. However, he smiled and grabbed her hand to his lips and kissed it. She struggled to get rid of his grip, attracting the attention of the customers at neighboring tables. She had no choice but to give up struggling.

In fact, Jiang Kaiwei was already drunk. He looked at her with blurred eyes. But he could not admit that he was drunk. He only looked at her with a silly smile, making her lower her head.

By the time they left, he couldn’t even walk without her support. His arm was on her shoulder, trapping her in his arms.

Xia Xiaowan said, “Shall I call the driver to pick you up?”

Jiang Kaiwei casually waved his hand and said vaguely, “No need for trouble. Help me go upstairs. I have a room there.”

They were in the bar of Jinxiu Hotel at that time. Xia Xiaowan knew that Jiang Kaiwei had his own room on the top floor. So she helped him go upstairs and entered the room. Jiang Kaiwei fell on the bed, but he did not let go of her hand. He squinted at her and said, “Don’t leave.”

“I’m not leaving,” She coaxed him, “I’ll go and wring a towel to wipe your face.”

“Don’t do that. Don’t go anywhere.” He held her hand in an overbearing manner as unreasonable as usual. Xia Xiaowan could not dissuade him, so she could only let him hold her hand. But her heart felt sweet.

The man’s messy hair covered his forehead, showing a hint of childishness. His eyebrows got relaxed, and his usual domineering and arrogant demeanor was completely gone. Her gaze fell from his eyes and brows to his lips. Jiang Kaiwei had thin lips. It was said in books that the man with thin lips had a cold temperament. She had always felt that it was right because Jiang Kaiwei had many girlfriends. But he had never been with them for a long time. It seemed that he did not care about them. But tonight, she felt that he liked her. It could be seen from his eyes.

His lips suddenly moved and opened slightly as if he was waiting for something. Xia Xiaowan looked at his rosy lips and her heart began to pound again. Her face was burning hot. She raised her head and looked at the closed door. Then she quickly kissed his lips like a child who had done something bad.

Just as she raised her head, he suddenly opened his eyes. He hugged her and flipped her over. He pressed her under him and kissed her fiercely. Although she was shocked by his sudden action, she did not resist. Instead, she responded warmly to his kissing. However, gradually, she felt that something was wrong. Jiang Kaiwei did not just kiss her. His fingers deftly reached into her clothes, causing her to tremble.

She was very nervous and had an unprecedented panic. So she slapped him hard and struggled. “Jiang Kaiwei, don’t, don’t do that, Jiang Kaiwei, no…”

However, the man panted heavily and turned a deaf ear to her shouts. His arms were like iron clamps, firmly imprisoning her. His eyes were strange and terrifying but he kept calling her name. “Xiaowan, Xiaowan, Xiaowan…”

The man’s hot breath enveloped her and she finally lost herself…

Both of them got exhausted as if they had undergone a fierce fight. The man curled up his body and slept peacefully in satisfaction. She slowly sat up, put on her clothes one by one, and tiptoed out of bed like a kitten. Although she was a girl from a rich family, her upbringing was extremely strict. Thinking that she had never stayed outside so late in the night since she was a child and that she secretly slept with a man, she could not help but get panic. She put on her clothes and left the room as if she was escaping.

Xia Xiaowan naively thought that when she gave her most precious thing to Jiang Kaiwei, she could live a fairytale-like happy life with him from then on.

They had indeed been deeply attached to each other for a sweet time. But not long after, she found that she was pregnant. She happily ran to tell Jiang Kaiwei. However, he suddenly changed his face and ruthlessly ridiculed her.

She was stunned as if she had been slapped hard in the face. She felt dizzy and didn’t know what was wrong. Why did Jiang Kaiwei hate her when she had his child?

But what about her? What should she do being pregnant?

She had no other way because she couldn’t escape. She could only pester him again and again. However, she was ruthlessly ridiculed by him. Even Xia Nanze couldn’t bear this and persuaded her to forget it. He also said that Jiang Kaiwei was not suitable for her at all and she should find a man like Gu Nianbin. But she was obsessed with Jiang Kaiwei and only wanted him. She persistently entangled with him as if she was crazy. However, the more she pestered him, the angrier Jiang Kaiwei became at her. Their quarrel got out of control.

When they met the last time, Jiang Kaiwei uttered the heartless words and gave her a resounding slap before leaving in disgust. In the end, she despaired!

However, she still felt gratified. Even if she could not marry him, she could have his child. She wanted to secretly give birth to the child.

Her abnormality finally made Xia Nanze suspicious. She needed help, so she simply confessed to her brother.

Hearing that, Xia Nanze flew into a rage and wanted to settle the score with Jiang Kaiwei. She stopped him and threatened him with her life. So Xia Nanze did not go to Jiang Kaiwei. However, he didn’t allow her to have that child. His attitude was unyielding as he forced her to abort the child. She surely refused to do so.

Watching her get thinner while her child grew in her belly day by day, Xia Nanze did not dare to let his parents know the truth. He made an excuse of letting her go abroad to relax. At that time, her parents also knew that she and Jiang Kaiwei had a hard relationship. They felt that it was good for her to go abroad for a while.

When she was abroad, Xia Nanze still forced her to abort the child. In a fit of anger, she swallowed sleeping pills. Fortunately, she was rescued in time but the child was gone.

She suddenly went crazy. Why was the child gone? How could she miscarry? No, she wanted her child back, her poor child…

She became frantic and screamed hysterically. Then she felt someone hugged her. The embrace was very warm and the aura was very familiar. It must be Xia Nanze. Every time something happened, he would always stay by her side to protect her.

He called her name anxiously. “Xiaowan, Xiaowan, wake up.”

She was stunned for a moment. She only felt a chill ran down her spine. A chill spread from her heart to her limbs. It was not Xia Nanze. She could tell that it was Jiang Kaiwei’s voice.

She could not tell whether it was a dream or reality. She only knew that Jiang Kaiwei was hugging her and gently patting her back. He gently coaxed her. She half opened her eyes and looked at him with hatred. Then, she closed her eyes again.

She said, “Jiang Kaiwei, you are a demon.”

The man echoed in a low voice, “I am a demon.”

She added, “Jiang Kaiwei, you killed my child.”

The man’s voice became even lower, so soft that it could not be heard. “I killed your child.”

She shouted, “Give my child back to me. I’ll take your life in return.”

The man hugged her tightly and caressed her back, trying to calm her down. He said, “Alright, I’ll give you my life.”

She smiled coldly. “Do you think I don’t dare to take it?”

The man did not speak for a long time. He just kept stroking her. Xia Xiaowan was tired. When she was about to fall asleep, she heard the man’s low voice. “My life has always been in your hands.”
