The Beloved and Pampered Girl
Chapter 279  Fatal Temptation

279  Fatal Temptation

But to Chu Liyuan, this was torment now! Absolute torture!

Just as he was about to lose control, he took off his jacket and draped it over Jian Dan. He did not dare to look at her, not even for a moment. "I just remembered that I still have some work to do. You go to bed first!"

With that, he left the bedroom as if he was fleeing…

After Chu Liyuan left, Jian Dan was left alone in the room. She stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, dripping onto her collarbone.

She had already done so much, but Chu Liyuan continued to pushed her away. When a man did not even want to touch a woman, did that mean that woman no longer had a place in his heart?

Chu Liyuan went to the study after escaping from the bedroom… He leaned against the study door and closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. However, he could not calm down no matter what. His mind was filled with the scene just now. He could not forget it or chase it out of his mind…

Not only did it not calm him down, but it also made his body increasingly hotter to the touch.

He tore off the tie around his neck—turned around—and went to the ensuite bathroom in the study. He turned on the shower, and cold water rained on his body…

However, the cold water seemed unable to extinguish the fire in Chu Liyuan.

After standing under the cold shower for more than an hour, the heat in his body subsided a little.

That night, both of them did not get any sleep…

Chu Liyuan stayed in the study for the entire night while Jian Dan curled up by the bed. She hugged her legs tightly with both hands and rested her chin on her knees. Her tears flowed uncontrollably like a broken dam…

Was she not as important to Uncle as she had thought? Why did Uncle get tired of her after just a few months of marriage?

Was Uncle still angry over the matter with Uncle Simiao? Although Uncle said that he wasn't angry anymore, he didn't forgive her at all deep down!

Or perhaps…
