For a long time, she gave up her meaningless resistance, as if resigned, allowing him to do whatever he wanted with her.
Yan Jue thought for a long time, that he would turn the rice into cooked rice.
With an intimate relationship like this, even if Tang Xiaomin was more progressive in her thinking, what happened between them would be deeply imprinted in her mind.
That way, even if other uncontrollable situations occurred later, she wouldn't leave him, right?
He was too anxious, to the point of breaking his promise.
He desperately wanted to possess her, to have her. The feeling of her in his arms was so wonderful, so blissful.
It was like a person dying of thirst in the desert, suddenly encountering a cool, clear pool of water, wanting nothing more than to drink it all.
As long as his reason remained, he noticed the stiffening of the person in his arms.
Ultimately, he couldn't bear to take her precious first time in this situation.
He pulled away from her lips and saw her face full of grievance, her eyes red, with two crystal tears embedded in the corners of her eyes.
This scene made him suddenly hurt and feel self-reproach.
"Are you angry? I just... suddenly really missed you."
Even he didn't believe what he said.
Tang Xiaomin said nothing, only glared at him with a resentful gaze.
If looks could kill, this would be like a thunderclap for Yan Jue.
Fine, she was really angry.
He couldn't bring himself to force her, couldn't bear to see her wronged in the slightest, and even less could he bring himself to go through with it.
"I was wrong, don't be like this, okay?"
"I really know I was wrong. Why don't you hit me, or you can punish me however you want, just don't be like this, okay?"
"Hmph!" Tang Xiaomin snorted coldly.
But the tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to intensify, ready to fall at any moment.
This was clearly a sign of even greater anger.
Yan Jue ran a hand through his hair; the lust that had flared up moments ago had completely dissipated.
All he could think about was how to coax Tang Xiaomin back.
"I scared you, it's my fault."
Faced with Tang Xiaomin's situation, his intelligence also dropped significantly, and he didn't know what to do.
In the end, he hugged her tightly and kept apologizing, kept coaxing her.
It took him more than an hour to leave the hot springs and return to their room to rest.
This anger lasted until the next day.
Early in the morning, Tang Xiaomin packed her things.
"I'm going home."
Yan Jue certainly wouldn't agree to her leaving so soon.
"Minmin, but we booked the room for three days. How about we stay for another two days?"
Tang Xiaomin said irritably, "You stay by yourself. It's better for me to go home. My mom said it's not safe for girls when they're out, and she's absolutely right."
He had only been enthusiastic towards her, and hadn't done anything else to her. Now she was acting like a porcupine, wanting to distance herself from him.
This time, Yan Jue realized that haste makes waste, and it had only caused Tang Xiaomin's resentment. It was a loss.
He cherished the current peace, because he had a premonition that something was going to happen during the week-long meeting.
Therefore, he cherished the current peaceful moments very much.
"Minmin, the room fee has already been paid, and they don't give refunds."
"Then you stay by yourself. I'll have Tang Ye come pick me up."
Tang Xiaomin actually took out her phone and called Tang Ye.
"I give you half an hour. Come to Modu Hot Spring Hotel and pick me up to go home."
Tang Ye on the other end of the phone was busy, on a call in a meeting, and spoke with his head down.
"Xiaomin, I'm in a meeting, I'll pick you up later!"
"What! You're not coming? Then go to hell!"
"I'm in a meeting. I'm a boss now, you should be understanding."
"Get lost!"
*Beep beep beep...*
Tang Ye was stunned. He wondered how he could have such an unreasonable sister.
His company had just been established, and he was overwhelmed with work. Not only that, but he also had to pick up Tang Xiaomin.
He wished he could split himself in two, one to attend the meeting here, and the other to go pick her up, a perfect solution.
But that was ultimately just his wishful thinking.
At the moment, everyone in the conference room was staring at him with wide eyes, waiting for his instructions.
Tang Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
"Meeting adjourned. I'll give you notice this afternoon."
After saying that, he left a group of people behind and drove away himself.
"What's wrong with the boss? He's not even holding the meeting anymore."
"It seems like he's going to pick up his sister."
"He finally established his own company. Is work more important, or is his sister more important?"
"That's obvious. His sister is more important."
...
On the mountain road.
Tang Xiaomin walked forward with her usual steps.
Beside her, Yan Jue drove his car, following her slowly.
"Minmin, get in the car, please. Be good."
Ever since last night, she hadn't given him a good look, making him feel like a sinner.
"I'm timid, I don't dare to ride."
God, she was truly a tormenting little demon.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have acted that way towards her.
"Minmin, I was wrong. At worst, I'll go to the hospital and get it removed. As long as you want me to, I won't even frown."
When Tang Xiaomin heard this, she was utterly speechless at his shamelessness.
"I want some peace and quiet. You are not allowed to follow me anymore."
"Who is Jingjing?"
"Is it a man or a woman?"
"Minmin..."
No matter what he said, Tang Xiaomin pretended to be deaf and didn't hear him.
They stood in this stalemate for half an hour, and then Tang Ye finally drove along the road and encountered the walking Tang Xiaomin.
As soon as he stopped, Tang Xiaomin pulled open the car door and got in, her face looking as grim as if someone owed her millions and hadn't paid it back.
Seeing her like this, Tang Ye couldn't help but ask, "Xiaomin, what's wrong? Who upset you?"
Tang Xiaomin didn't say anything, implicitly admitting it.
And the one who upset her was naturally Yan Jue, who stepped forward and knocked on the car door.
Yan Jue, with a headache, knocked on the car door.
"Minmin, don't be angry anymore, okay? Get out of the car quickly, I'll take you wherever you want to go."
This was the first time Tang Ye had seen Yan Jue being so flustered by Tang Xiaomin.
This gave him an unprecedented sense of comfort, and he smiled slightly.
"Xiaomin, this guy upset you, didn't he?"
"Do you want me to get out and help you beat him up?"
Tang Xiaomin said coldly, "Then go ahead."
This...
Tang Ye was willing but unable. He was no match for a monster like Yan Jue.
He said sheepishly, "I wish I could, but I can't beat him."
"I told you long ago he's not a good person. Now do you believe me? We can't afford to offend him, so we can only avoid him. So, let's leave quickly."
He stepped on the accelerator, turned around, and left.
Yan Jue was left on the road, watching the car drive away silently.
He wanted to chase after them, but then he thought better of it and gave up.
It was good that she was angry. That way, she wouldn't attend the meeting, and there wouldn't be any danger.
He even regretted telling Tang Xiaomin about that matter. His mind was in chaos, but this was for the best.
For the next few days, he restrained himself and didn't go to find her.
