Revenge Sevenfold - Chapter 175 They Weren’t Hers

Lu Shen inhaled deeply, watching the stars light up the night sky through the haze of cigarette smoke. Ash sprinkled across the floor when he flicked the filter, each floating piece a remnant of his former self.

The comfort he ached for had finally returned.

Stubbing out his cigarette into a nearby ashtray, he picked up his cognac glass of wine from the wrought iron table and strode into his bedroom.

The curtains fluttered with the night breeze, but became still when he closed the French doors. Tipping the glass into his lips and draining the wine inside in one gulp, Lu Shen unbuttoned his collar and collapsed on the bed. He raised his arm and covered his face. Only by doing these vices could he finally fall asleep.

This time, his dream was one of the good ones.

She lay beside him, peacefully sleeping. He touched the ragged edges of her hair and deeply sighed. Looking at the dark-blue bruises underneath her eyes, he could only show his weak side to her when she was unconscious. His fingers trailed over her skin, feeling as if she was as fragile as glass. Her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, her lips slightly parted.

Lu Shen's fingers traced her lips, feeling their softness against his skin.

Hui Yin stirred. Her eyes gradually opened, revealing the brightness that could captivate a person's soul. He stared at her side profile, feeling as if his throat was being choked by something.

His hand coiled around her slender waist, while his other hand propped up her nape to give her a deep kiss. She gasped, surprised, but Lu Shen didn't miss the chance to sweep his tongue past every corner of her mouth, indulging in her sweet taste.

Her cheeks were stained with red, her eyes nervous. But she didn't refuse his kisses, and soon his kiss that began as something sweet became rough and scalding.

His entire body was scorched with heat, and he slowly shifted her weight so that she straddled him. Hui Yin pulled away and glanced at him. His darkened eyes were burning with passion, his hands becoming restless, roaming over her body. Although her hands suddenly grabbed his wrists and stopped them, there was no rejection in her eyes.

Hui Yin slowly leaned over and kissed him. She nipped on his lips lightly, teasing him. Lu Shen groaned and flexed his hands that she captured. Feeling his hardened arousal underneath her, Hui Yin laughed lightly against his lips before grinding teasingly against that bulge. She ignored his hungry gaze and continued to play hot and cold with him.

Unable to suppress his surging desire, Lu Shen's body trembled and his breathing became accelerated. Some of his heat had also transferred to Hui Yin as her kisses slightly increased in fervor. Just as he felt his body became taut and he wanted to press her underneath him to satiate his lust, Hui Yin opened her mouth and moaned, "Lu Shen…"

Lu Shen's eyes flew open.

Instantly broken out of his fantasy, he could not contain his anger as he pushed off the woman on top of him violently. He used enough force for her body to roll out of the bed and fall into the floor with a hard thump.

Turning on the lamp, he saw the face that was similar to the girl in his dream look up at him with teary eyes. But those eyes…they weren't hers.

Rage made him clench his fists until his knuckles cracked. In a bone-chilling voice that could form frost, Lu Shen asked, "Why are you here?"

Looking at her lips that were still swollen, it was obvious what she was doing before he woke up. Lu Shen wanted to kill her. It was so rare for him to have a good dream like this, and yet she had dirtied it. How long had he imagined that she was her?! Thinking of all those kisses in his dream that had now been muddled by suspicion, Lu Shen couldn't help but walk over and forcefully grip the girl's arm.

"Get out!"

Bao Bai bit her lips to avoid yelping from the pain. Lu Shen dragged her out of his room and without any gentleness, he threw her limp body into the hallway and slammed the door. She dared to actually trespass into his room and do that kind of shameless thing! If he hadn't heard her voice and woke up, he couldn't imagine what would have happened.

If that girl wasn't the one who could lead him towards the owner of that car, he would have ripped her face apart. Did she think that he would mistake that fake face for her?

Lu Shen closed his eyes into a half-mast as he sat on the bed with a tense body. The illusion in his dream vanished without a trace, so he could only lean back against the headboard and try to imagine her again. Unable to stand his overwhelming desire, his hand moved down, and low pants slipped out from his lips.

His movement sped up until a groan broke the silence of the room, and the man's voice hoarsely whispered the name of the girl that he wanted to see for so long…
