"Protecting it so fiercely?" Because Jiang Yi was sitting on Qin Zezhou's lap, her knees on either side of his legs, she was slightly elevated. Looking down at him, she thought she saw a flicker of darkness in his dark eyes.

Her arms were around his neck, her hands fidgeting nervously near the nape of his neck.

She murmured, "Big Brother gave it to me."

This answered both his questions.

Qin Zezhou reached for the necklace, wanting to take it off.

Jiang Yi, thinking he intended to confiscate it, quickly said, a guarded look on her face, "No."

Qin Zezhou dropped his hand and captured her lips, kissing her deeply for several minutes. He only released her when her lips were pink, plump, and glistening, the frustration in his chest somewhat eased.

He had underestimated the young woman's effect on him. He knew she couldn't belong to him alone and had prepared himself to share her, but seeing her wearing another man's necklace, seeing her so protective of another man's gift, he couldn't control the possessiveness and intense jealousy that surged within him. He wanted to hold her tightly, to cover her in his scent, and his alone, not sharing even a sliver with anyone, not even his longtime friend!

But it could only be a fantasy.

He was a step behind Zhong Lin, with Zhong Cheng close behind, and who knew if there would be others in the future. He really wanted to lock her away!

"Why are you so good at tempting people?"

His eyes no longer held their usual lazy, roguish glint, but instead reflected a sharp, profound intensity. Just like Zhong Lin's expression when they first met.

Jiang Yi flinched, obediently lowering her head and tightening her arms around him, resting her chin on his shoulder.

Sensing her slight tremble, Qin Zezhou's heart softened. He couldn't bring himself to restrain her, to go against her wishes.

He suppressed the urge to rip the necklace off and instead took out his phone, making a call and instructing his driver to change their destination.

Jiang Yi leaned against his shoulder, listening intently to his conversation.

Qin Zezhou's hand slipped under her clothes, resting on her waist. "At home, do you tempt your brother to touch you every day?"

Jiang Yi shivered, his touch tickling her.

"No."

"Liar. Tell the truth."

Qin Zezhou's hand trailed along her waist to the edge of her br3ast, cupping it in his hand, molding her soft flesh.

He lowered his head, his lips finding the n1pple he had exposed, sucking and kissing it.

Jiang Yi's arms tightened, pulling him closer.

"I can see the marks," Qin Zezhou said, uncovering her other br3ast and noticing a glaring red mark on her fair skin.

Her br3asts were so beautiful, so soft and inviting, it was easy to lose control. Her skin was so delicate that even the slightest pressure left a mark.

Even so, it wasn't hard to imagine how passionate the person who left the mark had been.

Qin Zezhou lifted his face from her br3ast and asked, "Your Big Brother did this?"

The young woman's face was flushed with a drunken blush. She shyly nodded.

Qin Zezhou jiggled her n1pple, the fair flesh swaying enticingly. "Still saying you don't tempt him? Zhong Lin, such a serious and proper person, tempted by you to become so… indecent. Does he constantly suck on your n1pples and kiss you at home, rubbing his c0ck against your thighs? And Zhong Cheng, so cold and expressionless, has he been seduced by you into talking more? Does he hold you like this in the car, sucking your n1pples and grinding against you, every day on the way to and from school?"

Jiang Yi's face burned, her heart pounding. It felt like he had guessed everything correctly, but it really wasn't her tempting them!

Qin Zezhou continued, "And me. You approached me through my sister, came to my house as a guest, deliberately dressed so provocatively. You opened the door for me without wearing a br4, your n1pples practically bursting out, pointed right at me. Weren't you asking me to lick them? So naughty!"

Jiang Yi's eyes widened. "I didn't! Feifei invited me. I didn't approach you, I didn't even know you."

Qin Zezhou scoffed. "How do I know if you're telling the truth? What, now that you've seduced me, you want to throw me away? You've got me thinking about you day and night, my body aches when I can't see you, I can't sleep without touching your br3asts, my c0ck can't cum without you! Now you want to back out?"

Jiang Yi was incredulous. His words were getting stranger and stranger, blaming everything on her when it was clearly him who initiated their intimacy. And saying he couldn't sleep without touching her br3asts, that he couldn't… without her, it was so exaggerated!

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Qin Zezhou deliberately pressed on the red mark, and Jiang Yi winced.

Qin Zezhou frowned. "Zhong Lin pinched you so hard last night, you didn't feel it? Too busy enjoying yourself?"
