Chapter 92: 1.3.14: The Agreement (I)

"It's you!" She blurted out, astonished to see Zhou Ming again.

How did he find her?

"You?"

His eyes glinted with mischief, a handsome smile appearing on his face. His cold, black eyes seemed to reflect her as she found herself compelled to look at them.

She cleared her throat, "Yes, the one whose birthday is being celebrated."

She took a deep breath to leave, but he spoke again.

"Are you sure you don't recognize me from anywhere else?"

His footsteps that lingered closer and closer rung in her ears and she found a deep urge to run away.

"Y-Yes, where would I get to know the heir of the Zhou family?"

She was anxious and wanted to leave immediately.

By his words, she was sure he had already realized it was her from that night.

She gasped when she felt his arm wrap around her waist, pulling her closer.

In the dim, barely-illuminated room, his face was very close to hers.

So close that his cold, black eyes seemed to reflect her as she found herself compelled to look at them.

So close that his hot, minty breath made her shiver.

So close that she could smell the cologne.

So close that she could feel the danger radiating off of him.

Just like what she remembered of that night, this man was too good-looking for his own good.

She fell in a trance as she looked into his eyes.

Unlike last time, she was completely sane and not drunk.

But why was he acting this way?

Didn't he pretend that she was less than a stranger when he saw her earlier?

"Are you sure?" He breathed, a wicked smile gracing his face.

She raised her hands to push him off, but he used his other hand to grip both of hers.

Pulling them above her head, he leaned even closer and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"

Before she had the chance to answer, he captured her lips with his.

He kissed with every fiber of his being, as though he was trying to emphasize something.

"Perhaps that could ring a bell." He murmured once he raised his head, leaving her gasping for breath.

"You lost."

The moment he uttered those two words, she froze.

There was no salvation to this situation, for he recognized her and remembered their 'bet'.

"I don't... know what you're talking about." She mumbled, anxious to get away.

The only consolation she could give herself was the idea that she never agreed to their silly bet, thus, he could not hold her accountable for it.

"Oh?"

There was a glint of tease in her eyes, as though he enjoyed the inner turmoil she was going through.

As though he understood the complications he had brought upon her.

"Going back on your own words? How... disappointing."

He released his grip on her hands and moved back, but that only made Xiao Yunhua annoyed.

Without thinking, she blurted out, "It's not going back on my own words when I didn't even vocally agree to your silly bet!"

Once she said those words, she panicked.

She had fallen into his trap and said words she could not take back!

"So you remember. Good to know. Unfortunately," he wrapped a strand of her hair around his long finger, silently admiring her beauty. That night, she had been drunk and a little messy. Tonight, she was fully awake and was looking too tempting for him to resist. "you agreed silently. Whether you take responsibility or don't responsibility for your actions... You are mine."
