Men were indeed liars.

  Tang Xi hugged her slender waist but the very next second, Ling Hui pushed him away.

  “Tang Xi, don’t push your luck. I’ll beat you up!”


  “Even if I die and become a ghost, I’ll still be a playboy.”


  Ling Hui turned around and threw a pillow toward his face and body.

  Tang Xi let her hit him for a while before he pulled the pillow away. He held the back of her head and pressed her down.

  The tip of her nose was almost touching his.

  Their eyes met.

  “Princess, it seems like you’re still energetic.”


  “Believe it or not, I can strangle you to death!”


  Tang Xi was not afraid at all and raised his eyebrows. That hateful and annoying look seemed to be taunting her to pinch him if she dared to.

  Ling Hui really did not know what to do when faced with such a shameless and fearless bastard!

  She did not have the energy to continue fighting with him. She realized that this person said that he liked her byt he was not willing to give in to her in certain aspects.

  Looking at his shameless appearance, hatred grew in Ling Hui’s heart and she hit his shoulder several times. “Tang Xi, you’re a bastard. A stupid bastard!”


  Tang Xi was amused by Ling Hui’s words. His thin lips curled around Ling Hui’s earlobe and he knew that she was very tired. He pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. “Princess, go to sleep. Okay?”


  Ling Hui had not vented her anger and kicked his firm calf again.

  Tang Xi’s laughter came from above her head. “Princess, you’re so cute.”


  She was cute?

  Ling Hui replied him with a word. “Scram.”


  She was extremely tired after all. In his embrace, Ling Hui’s eyelids became heavy.

  After a while, she fell asleep.

  Tang Xi looked down at the woman in his arms. Her eyelashes were long and dense, like a Barbie doll’s. Her nose was tall and slender, and her red lips were beautiful and full.

  She looked more obedient when she was asleep than when she was awake. She was like a delicate little girl, making people’s hearts ache for her.

  Tang Xi pushed away the strands of long hair by her cheek and kissed her cheek. Although she was covered in thorns and looked like a rose, he knew that it was just her protective shell.

  After experiencing a tumultuous marriage, it was impossible for her to immediately throw herself into another relationship. Besides, she had gotten afraid and disappointed in men.

  “Princess, don’t worry. You can always lean on my shoulders.”
……

  The next day.

  Ling Hui woke up in pain.

  After opening her eyes, she felt confused for a few seconds. She was at a loss, not knowing where she was.

  The curtains were drawn tightly and the room was dark without any lights on.

  Ling Hui took the phone by the bed and glanced at it. It was almost seven.

  She sat up on the bed.

  She hurriedly wrapped herself in the blanket and glanced at the bed. The man was no longer there and she did not know when Tang Xi had woken up.

  This was probably the difference between a man and a woman’s stamina.

  Ling Hui put on her robe and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

  After coming out of the shower, she changed into her yoga clothes.

  She opened the bedroom and was about to go out when she saw the door of the gym diagonally opposite her opening.

  A man wearing sweatpants walked out.

  There was a towel around his neck and his hair was wet as it rested on his forehead. His face and muscular chest were covered in sweat.

  He looked like he had just finished exercising.

  He was slender and well-proportioned with well-defined lines. He did not have any fat on him, his shoulders were broad, and his waist was narrow. He did not have an excessively muscular build but his chest and abdomen were firm, his back muscles smooth, and his collarbones were so exquisite and sexy that even women would be jealous of him.

  Tang Xi saw Ling Hui coming out of the room and a smile appeared on his lips. The rays of the morning sun shone in from the corridor window and landed on him. That face was extremely handsome and charming.

  Putting aside her prejudice against him, Ling Hui had to admit that he was really handsome.

  He was exquisite and devilish handsome.

  “Why don’t you sleep for a little while more, Princess?”


  Ling Hui looked away from Tang Xi’s face. “I’m used to it.” With that said, she walked downstairs.

  Tang Xi walked forward and picked her up.

  “Since you’re not feeling well, don’t do yoga. I’ll carry you down for breakfast.”
