Chapter 7: Confession

Chen Su’s hand paused as she was about to put on her helmet, then she began to play with her hair instead.

“Su Su,” Wen Zhi suddenly felt guilty, “this is our secret base. How did your brother find this place? Could it be that your ‘good girl’ image is about to crumble?”

Chen Su gave a forced smile, “Is it possible it already has?”

Wen Zhi was stunned. “Huh?”

Chen Su got out of the car and shoved the helmet toward Wen Zhi, watching Qu Bainan approach.

His attire was quite businesslike, standing there like the refined villain often seen in romance dramas—only when he took off his clothes would his true nature be revealed.

He came up to Chen Su. “Not done playing yet?”

When he woke up that morning, he had thought she was just sleeping in, so he deliberately hadn’t asked the servants to call her for breakfast.

But who knew she had left early.

After learning this from the servants, he immediately called her school, and the teachers, after asking around, found out where she had gone.

“Qu gege, you’re being way too controlling. I’m not your girlfriend.”

Chen Su still felt a bit guilty in front of Qu Bainan; after all, for over a decade, she had always maintained a good girl image around him.

Even their first time together, she had pretended to be hesitant and coy.

Now that she said she was tired of playing along, she naturally wanted to keep her principles.

She didn’t want to lose both heart and body before him, only to end up humiliated.

She put on the helmet. “Besides, I said last night I’m moving out. Wen Wen and I are going to look for a place. Qu gege, if you have the time, you should pay more attention to Miss Shen. After all, I’m only your sister.”

She deliberately emphasized the word “sister” as she spoke.

With the helmet secured, Chen Su turned to Wen Zhi.

“Not getting in?”

Wen Zhi snapped back to reality and reached out to take the helmet, but before she could, Qu Bainan effortlessly grabbed Chen Su by the waist, pulling her down from the car and removing her helmet.

Chen Su tried to struggle but the man said, “Looks like you weren’t tired enough last night. I really underestimated you.”

He held Chen Su and, ignoring everyone else, shoved her into the back seat of the Hongqi.

The driver, seeing this, wisely lowered the partition and started the car.

Chen Su’s face flushed hot, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled. “Good brother, I told you it’s over between us. Last night was an accident.”

“An accident?”

Qu Bainan removed his glasses, his long fingers tracing beneath the fabric at her waist.

He chuckled softly, “Want me to help you recall how you were crying out in my ear last night? Hmm?”

Without the lenses shielding him, the aggression in Qu Bainan’s eyes was unmistakable.

For a moment, Chen Su felt as if she were staring at a wild beast.

She quickly grabbed his hand, trying to keep her voice steady. “Qu Bainan, I’m just your adopted sister with no blood ties. Don’t you think you’re caring a bit too much?”

If only he were a little colder to her, she wouldn’t have been rejectedI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
