Of course, the reason she had repeatedly rejected him wasn't because of what he'd done to her at the start. It was simply that she felt they were from different worlds and that it would never work out.
But that didn't stop Shen Qing from using it to deliberately tease the "old man."
The man holding her suddenly raised a hand and caught Shen Qing's mischievous fingers. Though he tried to keep his voice calm, Shen Qing could still detect a hint of frustration and hurt. "Was that really why you kept rejecting me? If I hadn't come to you that time after being drugged, were you planning on never accepting me?"
Shen Qing paused, then tilted her head up to look at the man's handsome, chiseled features. Seeing his thin lips pressed into a firm line and his phoenix eyes cast down to stare at her, she couldn't help but smile. She rose onto her toes, gently kissed his chin, and whispered, "No."
That night he'd come to her, drugged, she had simply given herself a reason to stop resisting.
