66: Not here, go to my room (Bonus chapter for the King of Gifts)

"Do you want to refuse?" he asked, his voice lower than before. "Of course, you have the right to refuse."

Qin Lu's breathing became even more erratic.

Yu Heng leaned in closer. "Don't worry, I won't force you. I'm waiting, waiting for you to say yes."

Qin Lu trembled all over and suddenly shrank back. "Then stay away from me..."

"You can push me away," he said, his tone sounding almost innocent. "I'm not tying you down."

Qin Lu's hands were still propped up at her sides, as if they were fixed in place.

"Bastard..." she finally cursed, "Your hands are so cold! Take them away!"

"It's not that my hands are cold," Yu Heng laughed softly, staring into her eyes, "it's that you're too hot here. Are you really not going to say it? Your body can't wait anymore."

Qin Lu closed her eyes.

A battle was raging within her.

"Not here," after a long while, she murmured, her eyes slightly moist, "Go to my room."

"Okay," he said.

Then he stood up and reached out his hand to her.

Qin Lu looked at that hand, hesitated for a second, and then placed her own hand in it.

Yu Heng gripped it and pulled hard, lifting her up from the sofa.

Qin Lu's legs went weak for a moment, and she crashed into his chest.

Yu Heng took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist, supported the back of her knees with his other hand, and picked her up horizontally in a princess carry.

"Ah!" Qin Lu let out a low cry, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing..."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to walk," Yu Heng said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, carrying her toward the bedroom.

Qin Lu's room was at the very end, and the door was slightly ajar.

Yu Heng pushed the door open with his shoulder, carried her inside, and then kicked the door shut with his foot.

"Turn off the light."

Yu Heng didn't turn off the light.

"I want to see you clearly."

"You..." Qin Lu wanted to curse him.

"Don't be nervous," Yu Heng said in a low voice.

"Did you..." Qin Lu started to speak, "have experience before?"

"Was Qin Ya really born to you? It doesn't look like you've given birth..."

"Shut up!"

Over an hour later.

"Wait..." Qin Lu tried to push him away, "Don't!"

It was too late.

Qin Lu's eyes were fixed on the ceiling, her chest heaving violently.

Then she sat up abruptly.

"You..." She turned her head to glare at Yu Heng, her voice trembling with anger, "You bastard!"

Yu Heng was lying on his side, one hand propping up his head and the other resting on her leg, looking satisfied and lazy.

"I couldn't help it," he said confidently. "There won't be a next time."

Qin Lu practically wanted to slap him. "Get out, there is no next time!"

Seeing her exasperated look, Yu Heng reached out and pulled her back onto the bed. "Are you angry?"

Yu Heng hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Qin Lu struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she simply gave up.

She lay there with her back to him, not saying a word.

She was angry, but mostly she was angry at herself for being so weak-willed and letting him have his way.

Moreover, she had been so lost in the moment just now, like a shameless harlot.

"Don't touch me." She suddenly grabbed his wrist. "What are you doing!"

"Checking," Yu Heng said solemnly, "to see if you're hurt."

"I don't need you to check!" Qin Lu's face turned beet red. "Get off, I want to take a shower."

"What's the rush to shower?"

"I need to go rinse off! You bastard!"

Yu Heng couldn't help but smile and let go of her hand.

Qin Lu immediately scrambled up and went into the ensuite bathroom.

After a while, she walked out and looked at Yu Heng, saying, "As for tonight... let's just act as if it never happened."

Yu Heng laughed. "Do you think that's possible?"

She knew it wasn't possible. The marks on her body could be washed away, the sheets could be changed, but what had happened had happened.

"Even if it's impossible, it must be," Qin Lu said with a cold expression. "You should leave. I'm tired and want to be alone for a while."

Yu Heng was taken aback by her expression. He pursed his lips, got up, and began to get dressed.

"Fine, I'm leaving." Once fully dressed, Yu Heng walked to the door. "Don't feel ashamed; this isn't your fault."

"Get out!" Qin Lu said with a frown.

Yu Heng sighed, walked out, and closed the door.

Qin Lu slumped onto the floor, clutching the hem of her nightgown and cursing softly, "Little bastard, doesn't know any restraint..."

Walking into the living room and seeing the messy sofa and coffee table, Yu Heng's lips curled.

He turned and walked to the sofa, leaned over to pick up the cushion Qin Lu had kicked onto the floor, casually patted off the dust, and put it back.

On the coffee table, there was still the empty bottle of red wine and several beer cans.

Yu Heng picked them up one by one, took them to the kitchen to throw in the trash, and then wiped down the coffee table.

Having done all this, he checked the time.

Ten-thirty at night.

Qin Ya's room door was still closed, and there wasn't a sound coming from inside.

Yu Heng walked to her door, just about to open the main entrance to leave.

A rustling sound came from inside Qin Ya's room. After a few seconds, the door opened a crack.

Qin Ya poked half her face out from the crack, her eyes wide and round. "Is it over?"

"..." Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. "You're not asleep yet?"

"You guys were making so much noise, how could I sleep?" Qin Ya curled her lip, opened the door a bit wider, and looked him up and down. "Where's my mom?"

"She said she's going to sleep."

"Oh." Qin Ya nodded, her eyes glancing toward the master bedroom. "How was it?"

"How was what?" Yu Heng narrowed his eyes.

"My mom!" Qin Ya winked at him. "Was it good?"

"Tsk, just go to sleep!" Yu Heng clicked his tongue. "You have a livestream tomorrow."

"I know," Qin Ya muttered. "What about you? Are you leaving?"

"What else would I do?" Yu Heng said. "Your mom told me to get out."

"She's just being shy." Qin Ya smiled and asked, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. "To do what?"

"To see my mom!" Qin Ya said as if it were obvious. "You have to strike while the iron is hot for this kind of thing!"

"Strike while the iron is hot?" Yu Heng laughed. "Your mom just said there won't be a next time."

"She's just being stubborn." Qin Ya rolled her eyes. "When a woman says no, she means yes; when she says she doesn't like it, she means she does; and when she says there won't be a next time, she means she wants another time. Don't you even understand that?"

Yu Heng was stunned by her theory for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Where did you learn all this nonsense?"

"I saw it online." Qin Ya said confidently. "Besides, don't I know what kind of person my mom is? If she really didn't want to, she would have called for help long ago. Would she have let you into her bedroom?"

That actually made sense.

When Qin Lu was in the living room earlier, although she was cursing fiercely, she really didn't resist at all.

Not only did she not resist, but after returning to the room, she was even quite cooperative.

What she said and how she acted were completely different.

"Alright, kids shouldn't worry about adult matters." Yu Heng patted her shoulder. "Go back to sleep."

"Oh," Qin Ya responded, but she remained standing where she was.

Yu Heng looked at her. "Anything else?"

"Um..." Qin Ya scratched her head, her voice suddenly getting a bit quieter. "Is my mom okay?"

Yu Heng was startled for a moment.

This girl, despite talking so bluntly, was actually worried about her mother.

"She's fine." Yu Heng's tone softened. "She just drank too much. She'll be fine after a night's sleep."

"That's good then." Qin Ya breathed a sigh of relief and finally retreated into her room. "Then I'm going to sleep. Be careful on your way back."

The door closed.

Yu Heng stood at the door for a few seconds before turning to the entryway.

He changed his shoes, opened the door, and looked back once more.

The living room was very quiet.

The master bedroom door was tightly shut, and there wasn't a single sound from inside.

Qin Lu probably really was resting.

Yu Heng closed the door, and his footsteps gradually faded away in the hallway.
