Don't meet me in your next life.

Li Youzhe's eyes deepened as he put one arm around her slender waist and stroked her soft skin with the other.

Xiang Yi's heart stopped for a second.

What... does he want to do?

Li Youzhe's kiss, hot with breath, gently landed on her smooth, jade-like skin...

Xiang Yi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her whole body jolted, and she felt as if she couldn't breathe.

She tried to break free, but Li Youzhe's large hand tightened around her waist.

"Li Youzhe, what do you want to do! Let me go!" she screamed in terror.

Li Youzhe did not answer her.

He kissed her red lips, and a delicate rose scent filled Xiang Yi's mouth, making her intoxicated.

The kiss between them was so familiar.

Li Youzhe's large hand slowly slipped inside her skirt and grasped her slender waist...

His burning lips brushed against her ear: "Yi Yi, you are so beautiful, I can't help myself..."

"Let go! Let go of me!"

Xiang Yi struggled in a panic.

Ignoring her resistance, Li Youzhe placed her on the bed.

His muscular body pressed down on her, his arms bracing on either side of her. He looked down at her, his dark pupils burning with fury.

"You belong to me, Li Youzhe, and I will never allow you to betray me!"

"I don't!"

Xiang Yi shook her head frantically; she didn't know what was going on.

Didn't she and Li Youzhe meet through one transaction after another?

How could she possibly fall in love with him?

Their relationship is nothing more than a union of interests...

"Yi Yi, do you remember the deal we made?"

Li Youzhe's eyes were filled with pain as he looked out the window, as if he were seeing some unbearable memories.

"Yes, I don't deny it."

She won't forget!

"Since that's the case, I'll ask you one last time: are you willing?"

"Li Youzhe! I beg you... please don't touch me... I'm not as easy as you think..."

Li Youzhe ignored her words.

His hand had already covered her soft breasts.

His fingertips ravaged her body, inch by inch, filled with intense desire.

His eyes revealed a strong desire...

"I won't let any man touch me, including you."

Xiang Yi suddenly let out a cold laugh, "I understand, Young Master Li..."

Li Youzhe paused for a moment.

"Young Master Li is a noble man; you certainly wouldn't do anything to violate a woman..."

Xiang Yi got up from the bed, quickly dressed, turned around, and looked at Li Youzhe's back, her eyes gradually turning red.

"I know I'm not good enough for Young Master Li, and I won't ask for anything. I hope Young Master Li can give me a month's leave; I need to take care of something."

After gritting her teeth and finishing speaking, Xiang Yi didn't dare to look at him again, quickly opened the door and rushed out.

All of this happened so suddenly that she was caught off guard.

She never expected Li Youzhe to do this.

What kind of treatment is this?

Does he hate her that much? Does he really want her to be ruined?

Tears welled up in Xiang Yi's eyes.

She never imagined that Li Youzhe would treat her like this one day...

She didn't know what to do...

......

Li Youzhe only turned around slowly after hearing the door open and close.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

This is her.

The little woman he once loved so much.

That's how she made him lose control.

He has even lost his self-respect.

He never knew he would lose control because of a woman.

He didn't know why he cared so much about Xiang Yiyi.

Perhaps it was because she looked somewhat like that girl that he developed special feelings for her.

But he knew very well that he shouldn't develop feelings for a woman like that.

Li Youzhe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, took out the photo from the drawer, and looked at it. His expression became unusually solemn.

He knew who that girl was...

After leaving the apartment, Xiang Yi hid at the entrance of a nearby shopping mall, waiting for her driver to pick her up.

Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time.

She knew that Li Youzhe had begun to suspect her.

Li Youzhe must feel utterly disgusted with her now, so she can't stay any longer, or she'll cause trouble.

But she really couldn't bear to leave him...

She didn't know why Li Youzhe's attitude towards her had suddenly changed. Could it be that he was seeking revenge?

But why would he want revenge on her? She hadn't done anything wrong to him.

Xiang Yi's mind was in complete chaos, making it impossible for her to think.

Just then, she saw the driver come out, so she quickly ran over to him.

When Li Youzhe saw her, his eyes immediately turned cold.

"Young Master Li."

Xiang Yi stood in front of him and timidly called out to him.

His expression remained icy.

What are you doing here?

He asked in an annoyed tone.

"Young Master Li... I'm sorry, please give me a chance to prove myself..."

"I don't want to hear this nonsense."

Xiang Yi pursed her lips, her eyes reddening again. She gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and raised her head to meet his gaze: "What I want to tell you is that I don't want to deceive you. I like you, I've liked you for a long time..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Youzhe's face turned ashen. "I won't believe you!"

"But I really didn't lie to you!"

A resolute light shone in Xiang Yiyi's eyes.

A hint of panic flashed in Li Youzhe's eyes, and he avoided Xiang Yiyi's gaze.

"I don't care whether what you're saying is true or false, I'm in a hurry now, please leave."

"Young Master Li!"

Xiang Yi's voice rose a few pitches.

Li Youzhe's brows furrowed even more deeply. "Don't force me to kick her out. I don't want to lay a hand on a woman!"

"But I really didn't lie, Young Master Li. You might as well take a look; these are the photos I just took."

Xiang Yi took out her phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Li Youzhe.

She didn't want to show weakness in front of Li Youzhe.

She wanted him to see himself clearly.

Li Youzhe's gaze fell on the photograph, and the moment he saw that face, his pupils contracted...

Is this her?!

Li Youzhe stared at Xiang Yiyi, his face full of shock and confusion.

"Young Master Li, don't you remember? This was five years ago, the time we went on a blind date. You were drunk..."

"I'm drunk?"

Li Youzhe narrowed his eyes.

That blind date?

Xiang Yi didn't miss a single detail; she knew that this news would be a huge shock to him.

Does he think he's stupid for remembering something as embarrassing as being drugged?

"Young Master Li, if what I've said is true, could you please give me a chance to explain?"

Li Youzhe stared at the delicate face in the photo. Her eyes were filled with tears, but also with stubbornness.

Is it really her?!
