Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Asleep

"I’ll be in Ao City for the next few days," Fu Xingzhou pushed away the hair from the girl’s forehead and kissed her, "I’ll take you to work later."

"No need, I can drive myself. You do your thing."

"It’s on my way."

Ye Yan coiled in his embrace a little longer before trying to get up.

Though his pecs were both firm and comfortable, and men in the morning had a lazy charm that was irresistibly tempting,

if she lazed around any longer, she would definitely be late for work.

When she tried to rise, Fu Xingzhou suddenly wrapped one arm around her slender waist and pulled her back into his arms.

Forced to lie on his chest, her nose filled with the scent of hormones, she protested, "I’m going to be late."

He was the boss and naturally didn’t have to worry about getting docked pay, while she didn’t want to miss out on the attendance award or get her salary cut even though she didn’t care much about it.

"I’m not going to do anything, just hugging you for a bit."

The man’s mouth, deceitful as a ghost’s, Ye Yan didn’t believe him.

Luckily, he didn’t trick her and truly let her go after holding her for a while.

Ye Yan had just arrived at the hospital and hadn’t even had time to change into her white coat when she heard Xiao Xiao calling her, "Dr. Ye, there’s someone looking for you."

As she changed her clothes and walked out of the office, she saw a woman in a hat, skulking around the hallway. Upon seeing Ye Yan, the woman immediately rushed over and pulled her into the stairwell.

"Who are you?" Ye Yan was extremely puzzled.

"It’s me." The woman took off her hat and mask, revealing a beautiful but anxious face.

"Tiantian!" Ye Yan looked at her inexplicable disguise with resignation, "Dressed like this, what indecent thing have you done?"

"You need to write me a medical order, I need to get a checkup."

"What’s wrong with you?"

Meng Tian hesitated, but since she had come to Ye Yan for help, she knew she would have to tell her about it, so she confessed.

"I slept with Madman Tang yesterday."

Ye Yan: ????

"Don’t give me that look; it wasn’t voluntary."

"Is he even human to force you like that?"

"It wasn’t force."

Meng Tian, frustrated, tugged at her hair, "You know he was drunk yesterday, and after I took him home..."

Meng Tian thought everything was settled once she got Tang Jingyao to bed, but after she bathed and went to get some water, she saw Tang Jingyao sitting at the bar and drinking again.

Already so drunk, wasn’t he afraid of dying from drinking more?

Out of kindness, Meng Tian wanted to persuade him to stop, so as not to get alcohol poisoning and bear the responsibility as his housemate.

Somehow, the two started playing Truth or Dare.

By the time Meng Tian realized it, she had already drunk quite a bit.

Thankfully, the next day was a day off, so there was no work.

But she dared not drink more, fearing that drinking would lead to trouble.

Meng Tian underestimated her ability to hold her liquor, thinking she could just sleep on the table. Tang Jingyao, kindly, carried her back.

She wasn’t sure whether it was the night’s bewitching moonlight, his drunken unsteadiness, or perhaps she had lost herself under the influence of alcohol.

Anyway, Tang Jingyao tripped, and they both ended up on the same bed.

What happened after that, Meng Tian didn’t remember very clearly.

It wasn’t until she woke up in the morning, her body aching as if falling apart, that she finally realized what had happened.

Under the covers, not a stitch on her body, and still wrapped in a man’s muscular arm around her waist.

No wonder she had dreamt last night of being oppressed by a fire-breathing dragon, nearly suffocating.

She was a doctor and knew full well what her body was feeling.

She had slept with Tang Jingyao...

Just like that, in a confused haze!

Meng Tian had intended to leave stealthily to avoid the awkwardness, given that they each loathed the other and surely didn’t want to witness this suffocating scene.

But as soon as she moved, Tang Jingyao woke up.

It was clear that Tang Jingyao was even more shocked than she was.

Meng Tian felt uncomfortable under his gaze and tossed out a salty remark, "What, are you gonna start screaming now?"

Tang Jingyao’s mouth twitched, his gaze landing on her fair neck.

There, shocking to the sight, were densely packed marks.

The force he used last night was evident from these hickeys.

"Your first time?" Tang Jingyao asked in an annoyingly frivolous and presumptuous tone.

Meng Tian didn’t get angry with him. After all, she wasn’t a paragon of virtue needing to uphold a moral facade. It was just a one-time pleasure between adults.

"Does Pei Ye have problems in that department, to not have touched you for so long?"

Although Tang Jingyao was drunk, he remembered many of the tender moments from last night. He might not recall her face, but the pleasant touch of her body, her soft waist, and the heat that enveloped him were all too memorable.

Even now, the thought alone could induce a surge of heat in his lower belly, an uncontrollable desire rising within him.

But when he saw Meng Tian’s face, the fire was immediately doused considerably.

How could he have such improper thoughts about her? He should despise her to death and not deign to touch her.

Wasn’t the purpose of marrying her to make her live a lonely life, trapped here in misery forever?

"Tang Jingyao, I have a question for you," Meng Tian ignored his mocking and spoke seriously, "Do you have a disease?"

Tang Jingyao: ...

"With your promiscuous lifestyle, do you have any diseases at all?"

"It seems to me that you’re the one with a disease, in your brain," Tang Jingyao laughed out of irritation, almost wishing he could strangle her, "Can you police make accusations without evidence?"

Meng Tian scoffed, obviously not believing him.

Suddenly, Tang Jingyao flipped her over onto the bed, ignoring Meng Tian’s struggles, and forcefully pinned her wrists, "Since you’re so convinced I’m sick, wouldn’t I be letting you down if I didn’t infect you with my disease?"

"Let me go," Meng Tian attempted to break free, "If you dare force yourself on me, I’ll accuse you of marital rape."

"Forensic Doctor Meng has a good grasp of the law, but you should know that collecting evidence is very difficult, and your words alone won’t decide my guilt," he mockingly drew close, his crisp breath on her tender neck, "Last night, you seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. How can you accuse me after enjoying yourself? Isn’t that ungrateful?"

Meng Tian was left speechless by his remarks, mainly because she had completely forgotten about last night’s events.

He said it was black, so it was black; he said it was white, so it was white. She didn’t even have the courage to confront him.

Fortunately, Tang Jingyao was only trying to scare her and didn’t actually do anything to her.

Neither of them ate, and they parted on bad terms.

After hearing Meng Tian’s story, Ye Yan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Standing in her friend’s shoes, she would surely have to scold Tang Jingyao heavily.

But considering they had been intimate while drunk, it didn’t seem entirely Tang’s fault.

Besides, now that the two of them were married, even if this happened, it was somewhat reasonable.

Meng Tian couldn’t really spend her whole life as a widow.

"I heard from Fu Xingzhou that ever since Jiang Ying was put away, Tang Jingyao did change female companions quite frequently, but most were just flings, not someone who messes around," Ye Yan tried to comfort her friend, choosing her words carefully, "If you’re worried, I’ll take you for a check-up right now."
