Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

Luxury private apartment in downtown L.

A fierce wind was blowing outside the window, and the indoor air temperature continued to rise...

Blinded by jealousy and rage, the man disregarded everything and, upon entering the room, pressed down on the delicate little vixen and gave her a wanton, deep kiss, groping her all over. Yao Gongyue had absolutely no strength to resist.

"Ugh... Hong Jin..." she struggled with her eyes closed.

But this man went completely mad, his usual aloofness vanished, and he resembled a ravenous beast that had hunted down a delicious lamb.

The intense, hot breaths made her scalp tingle. In the spacious, quiet room, the sounds of passionate kisses were like a gluttonous feast.

"Are you going to eat me...?"

The girl in his arms, Nai Su, murmured like a kitten, igniting the man's desire.

"Yes, I really wish I could swallow you whole..."

Hong Jin's forehead veins bulged, his body was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and he was panting heavily, so angry he felt itchy all over.

"Yao Gongyue, you've got some nerve, daring to flirt with other men right in front of me, huh?"

His large hands were restless, gently caressing the girl's slender waist through the thin fabric. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms, her body heaving and pressing tightly against his hard chest. His long fingers parted her waist-length T-shirt, and his burning hot hands moved up her spine, committing all sorts of mischief.

Yao Gongyue pushed the man away with her delicate hand, her embroidered eyebrows furrowed, her large, glassy eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear. "You, you can't do this, I, we've already broken up..."

Hong Jin felt his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs tremble with rage at the mere mention of those two words. He took two deep breaths, withdrew his large hand, and placed it on her slender shoulder. "Yuebao, is this breakup really so hard to let go of? I've already admitted my mistake and apologized. How long are you going to keep making a scene? Hmm?"

The beautiful girl lowered her head and said, "I didn't make a scene. If we've broken up, we've broken up cleanly. We shouldn't contact each other again, see each other again, or even be friends!"

As if she had made up her mind, the usually timid yet pragmatic girl suddenly raised her moist, bright eyes to meet the man's sharp gaze. She loosened her tightly clenched lower lip and said earnestly,

“Hong Jin, the reason I came here with you today is to make things clear to you. Since we've broken up, we should be strangers from now on and wish each other well. We shouldn't interfere in each other's lives anymore, because that's not good for anyone.”

We were together for over a year, and you should have sensed that we weren't a good match. Breaking up like this is for the best!

"What's inappropriate?" Hong Jin's mind was on the verge of collapse. His eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth, restrained himself from shaking her shoulders, and roared in a low voice, "Tell me, what's inappropriate? Huh? You said you're a Pisces and I'm a Scorpio, that we're a match made in heaven. How long has it been, and you've already changed your mind, huh?"

Yao Gongyue hadn't expected that he would actually take the casual words she uttered to make him happy during her "business" session seriously. She gave an awkward, forced smile.

"Well, astrology isn't accurate. In China, we all believe in the Eight Characters (Ba Zi). Yes, I had a master analyze it, and it turns out we're completely incompatible, our Eight Characters don't match. If we keep getting entangled, it could easily lead to bloodshed."

Hong Jin watched as this cunning little devil didn't even blink, spouting nonsense in front of him. He felt a tightness in his chest, difficulty breathing, and a stinging pain in his temples, as if he were being pricked by needles.

"Shut up!" The man closed his eyes tightly, desperately suppressing the urge to strangle her. After a full minute of silence, he opened his eyes again, meeting her bright, beautiful gaze. He gently cupped her rosy cheeks in his large hand, his tone tender and affectionate.

"Baby, I was stupid last time and made you angry. I sincerely apologize, okay? You've been angry, you've made a scene, and I've seen your bad temper. I really know I was wrong. Let's just let this go, okay? I promise I'll never lose my temper with you again. After you graduate, I'll take you back to Japan, we'll get married, and live a good life together, okay?"

This man has always been arrogant and domineering, with his head held high. Even when the two were at their best, she was the one who had to coax and indulge him most of the time. Yao Gongyue had never seen him lower his stance like this to coax someone, and she felt a little flustered for some reason.

"You, you can't do this, Hong Jin!" She turned her face away uncomfortably. "You've had so many women before, didn't you just break up with them without a second thought? You never bothered me. I'm just one of your many ex-girlfriends. You, you have no reason to..."

"No!" Before the girl could finish speaking, Hong Jin didn't want to hear any more. "Yuebao, you're different from them!"

The man nervously took her slender, white hand and placed it against his heart, explaining earnestly.

“I’ve been harassed by all sorts of women. At first, I was really fed up with it. To get rid of those troubles, I created the illusion of being a womanizer. Baby, I’ve never touched any of those women, and I don’t even remember what they look like. Only you, Yuebao, have always been the only one in my heart. You are the woman I want to marry and take home as my wife. Not for entertainment, not as a plaything. You are the only woman I’ve ever been moved by in my twenty-five years!”

The more he spoke, the closer he got, his dark, handsome eyes trembling violently, gleaming with a dazzling light, like a knight swearing loyalty, awaiting the princess's blessing of a smile and trust.

Yao Gongyue's mind went blank at that moment, and she didn't know how to react to the man's passionate confession.

What is he saying?

He is Hong Jin, the pride of the Royal Academy of Economics, the dream man of countless girls, and the unattainable beauty in the hearts of all the socialites and ladies in L City. He should be proud, noble, aloof, and arrogant. How could someone like him possibly talk about feelings?

Knowing that he never talked about feelings, only about value, she went to seduce him and play emotional games with him when she first arrived in L City and was at her wit's end.

Yao Gongyue always thought that to Hong Jin, she was nothing more than one of the many flowers among the many women he encountered while riding through the mortal world.

She provides emotional value, playing the role of a spoiled little girlfriend, and he spends money to buy her fun and spice things up. That's all. Once they separate, the transaction is settled, neither of them owes the other anything, and ideally, they should never see each other again.

But today, this man angrily raised his fist and punched the man she secretly loved, and then confessed his love tenderly, which really caught her off guard and she never expected it.

"Hong, Hong Jin!" Her eyes darted away, she gave a dry laugh, and pushed the man's large hand away. "You, you're not playing this kind of joke on me!"

“I know we’ve been together for quite a while, so it’s normal that you’re having a hard time accepting this sudden separation,” she tried to persuade the man in front of her.

“But you are Young Master Hong. With just a wave of your hand, countless women will flock to you. Soon, you will forget about me. So,” she said, a little guilty, glancing at the icy man beside her, and finally gritting her teeth to say the last sentence, “So, try to think more positively!”

Hong Jin felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest and fried in boiling oil, sizzling and steaming. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat and almost grind his teeth to pieces.
