Revenge Sevenfold
Chapter 13 Her Dreams

In truth, Lu Shen had not completely lost all semblance of control.

It was a thin thread, but it gave him enough awareness that they were in a public place. Otherwise, he would have taken her then and there.

When he finally broke the kiss, Hui Yin gasped for air.

Her heart was racing inside her chest, and she took a minute to gather herself before saying angrily, "Lu Shen, have you completely lost your mind?"

She was not falling for his trick again!

Lu Shen was instantly furious. "You are my lover. It is only my right to kiss you!"

Hui Yin laughed. She felt like she was going crazy.

"Oh, I'm your lover, is it? Then is Nian Zhen your lover too?"

Lu Shen was confused. "What about Nian Zhen?"

Hui Yin curled her lip. "Forget it. We aren't going to be engaged for long anyway. I wish you luck with your future bride!"

She took a step forward, but Lu Shen grabbed her arm.

His expression looked frigid, and the control he had just gotten back was already quickly disappearing.

"Are you not my future wife? Or are you saying you'd rather be with another man?"

Hui Yin could not make sense of what this man was saying, and she creased her forehead. Did he really just accuse her of cheating?

Finally, her eyes could only focus on the hand that was wrapped around her arm like a vise.

"Let me go!"

"No."

Lu Shen's expression was stony, and Hui Yin could feel her panic rising as she realized that Lu Shen did not plan on releasing her.

Fortunately, an old lady decided to go to the women's restroom at that exact moment, and her bewildered glance at the two of them made Lu Shen finally drop his hold.

Hui Yin fled.

...

Later in the day, after being driven back to her apartment, Hui Yin made sure to lock the door. She even tested the knob a few times before she finally relaxed.

What a rough morning!

After they had gone back to their table, Nian Zhen was like a tiger that grew wings. She clung to Lu Shen's arm even after they had finished eating and had gone back to the car, rubbing her body against him like a dog in heat.

For the first time, Hui Yin was glad that Nian Zhen was there.

It made her able to return to her apartment safely, since Lu Shen was distracted by Nian Zhen's endless public display of affection.

Maybe because of nerves, Hui Yin could almost feel his intense stare drilling a hole on her back before the car turned around the corner and vanished from view.

She had already expected it, but her opponents were incredibly formidable to crack. She had to make sure she would be more prepared for the next time they meet!

Hui Yin slipped out of her dress and went inside the bathroom, humming softly under her breath.

As she studied the young girl with bright eyes that was reflected on the mirror, Hui Yin already knew what her next step should be now that she had been given a second chance in life.

It was to recover what she had lost, what she had exchanged for the approval of the Lu family to allow her to marry Lu Shen—her dreams!
