The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Nian Jiezhen laughed lightly because of what he said. "You think so?"

"Yeah." He held her chin and pulled her face close to his. "Who knows, you might really be a princess in our previous life and me... a handsome young man who abducted you from your home?"

She frowned and pushed his face away, her face was burning red. "No wonder you turned out to be a girl in this lifetime! How dare you kidnap me from my home? This must be the reason why I badly wanted to be a detective... to catch men like you!"

He laughed out loud because of this. "You are only allowed to catch me, princess. You can just forget the others. I am now your slave, imprison me in your room and mistreat me, your highness." He grinned playfully at her.

Nian Jiezhen glared at him. Doesn’t he know how much his words were affecting her? "Bitch, do you want me to kick you out of my house instead?"

He pouted, "You’re no fun." He leaned and hugged her by her shoulders from the side. "Princess~"

She pushed his face away from her. "I’m not into girls!"

"But I am." He held her hand and kissed her palm which made her pull her hand away from him in an instant.

How can she forget that Ren Shiyuan was actually a lesbian? Of course, she wouldn’t mind hitting on girls!

"My parents would definitely vomit blood if they learn that a woman is after me."

He rested his chin on her shoulder. "Who cares about what your parents think? Did you care about what they think when you became a detective?"

"You’re a bad influence for me." She crossed her arms. "Really bad!"

He leaned and kissed her by her cheek, "How about a 100 days trial with me?"

She looked at him, "100 days trial?" She repeated.

"Yes. Let’s date for 100 days and see if things will work out for us. We have nothing to lose and besides, this is just a trial. At the end of the trial period, if things won’t go well between us then we can go back in our own lives. I won’t bother you and you won’t bother me. But if things went well between us at the end of the trial period, then we can continue on dating, right? By that time, it will be for real."

Nian Jiezhen didn’t know whether or not to accept his offer. She was not the type of person who would do such things and being in a relationship won’t work well for her since she knows that by the time she goes back to work, she won’t have much time to give him.

"I know that you still love Lu Yifeng. I’m the same, I still have feelings for Xiao Mei... Let’s just say that, this is one way of distracting ourselves from them. We share each other’s pain, we are the only ones that can understand each other... I’ll be here for you and you’ll be here for me." He caressed her cheek with his thumb.

Nian Jiezhen bit her lower lip, his offer was so tempting. If that was what he was offering her then... "F*ck my sexuality!" She grabbed her by her shirt before she pulled him to her. She caught him by his lips.

Ren Shiyuan was surprised by what she suddenly did. Before he can realize what she was doing, she pulled away from the kiss and looked at him straight in his eyes with a blushing face. "Make sure to keep your word or else I’m going to hunt you down!"

Meanwhile, Xia Meilin was in the room, unpacking her things and placing them in the closet. After she fixed her clothes she went to lie down on the bed. She was curious about what was happening outside her room but at the same time, she didn’t want to disturb the two. She was in no condition to peep at them. What if she got caught by them? Then she would ruin everything for them.

She took out her phone and decided to call someone that she hasn’t heard in a while.

The video call was answered and Li Bingbing’s face was seen on Xia Meilin’s screen. She was wearing a baggy shirt and her hair was pulled back by a headband.

"And here I thought that you’ve forgotten about me." Li Bingbing pouted.

"A lot of things happened, and I was busy."

"Yes, yes. Busy warming the bed for the boss." Li Bingbing smirked teasingly.

Xia Meilin’s cheeks went red because of what she said. "Don’t even start." She huffed. "By the way, how are you doing there? How’s gege?"

"So far, he’s doing well." Li Bingbing smiled a bit. "He’s currently in the kitchen, preparing food for dinner. You can call later and talk with him."

"Mm, I’ll do that." She smiled. "For now, any news between you too?"

Li Bingbing grinned with the question she asked. She showed her hand to her. There was a diamond ring around her ring finger. "We got married last week."

"Married?!" Xia Meilin was surprised by the sudden news Li Bingbing gave. "No way! How can you not invite me?!"

Li Bingbing rolled her eyes, "As if you invited me in yours."

Xia Meilin pouted, "My marriage with Lu Yifeng was forced, remember? Why would I invite you?" She huffed out. "I’m planning to divorce him then after that, I’ll marry him again. This time, everyone I know will be invited so it’s not fair that you didn’t invite us there."
