She lifted her fingers to rub her eyes and then realized her fingers were so soft they could hardly lift.
Is this a side effect of drinking?
Never again, she swore to herself. Getting drunk was really not fun.
Opening her prickling eyes, Ning Xiaofei squinted around the room; her gaze swept across the unfamiliar bedroom. She closed her eyes, wanting to sleep a bit more, but then suddenly flung them open.
Where was this?
Her best friend Ye Qiao had been heartbroken, dragging her out to drink. She only remembered at first she had comforted the love-lost Ye Qiao, and then it turned into the two girls cursing together that no man was any good.
Ye Qiao cursed her boyfriend, and she cursed her husband, Mu Tianye. Then they decided to hook up for a one-night stand, and then…
Ning Xiaofei looked around the room again, her eyes moving from the ceiling to the window covered with cheap gauze curtains, then back to the large bed she was on. Noticing the familiar white garment by the bed, she squinted doubtfully, recognized it as her own, and immediately screamed as she flung back the covers.
On the gray bedsheet, two naked legs stretched out; pale thighs marked with faint blue traces, some looked like bite marks, others like kiss marks, and some even resembled... handprints?!
Looking at her own dreadful legs, Ning Xiaofei felt a rush of indignation.
How long had this guy not touched a woman? Had she hooked up with a pervert?!
Only now did Ning Xiaofei realize— she really did hook up, and those dark red stains on the bedsheet eloquently declared that she had lost her virginity.
She was done for!
With both hands burrowing into her hair, Ning Xiaofei fiercely gripped her scalp.
What was she to do now?
After registering their marriage with Mu Tianye, the two hadn't slept together. On the day they got their marriage certificate, he was abroad for business; the photos on their marriage certificate were even photoshopped together.
At that time, he had entrusted his assistant to lay down the law with her—she mustn't touch him, mustn't fall for him, mustn't get into his bed.
During the month after their marriage, he hadn't appeared even once, and she lived alone in the big villa he had given her; quite a leisurely and comfortable life.
But no matter what, that man was legally hers, and what if one day he took a fancy to consummate their marriage, only to find out she wasn't a virgin? How would she explain it?
When the families arranged the marriage alliance, Mu Tianye had specifically requested that he wanted a virgin, and an untouched one at that.
If it hadn't been for that condition, given her Ning Xiaofei's bottom-of-the-rung status at home, how would such good fortune have fallen to her?
Never mind, she needed to leave this place first.
Her hangover-clouded brain was a mush, and Ning Xiaofei couldn't think of any good solutions. Shivering with pain, she put on her clothes scattered around the bed and on the floor. Pulling the hood of her sweatshirt over her head, she escaped the motel like a thief, hailing a cab and jumping in.
When telling the driver the address, she suddenly realized she hadn't asked for the name of the person who booked the room.
Forget it, it was just a one-night stand; she wasn't about to revisit old flames. Glancing at her still wobbly legs, a chill ran down her spine. She never wanted to encounter that pervert again in this lifetime.
Speaking of which, she wondered if that guy had taken any protective measures, or could she have caught a contagion?
She pressed her hands against her throbbing head, but couldn't recall a thing about the man from last night.
Her phone in her pocket suddenly rang, the shrill tone startling Ning Xiaofei.
