"I got a call from Si Yehan that you are missing," he replied.

Lu Mengjie couldn't see the man's reaction since she was facing the fire. Something was different in him. Even if her body finally relaxed at the warmth he was giving her, the way he made her feel was as if he was a different person. That was impossible unless he had a twin brother. At least that was what she thought. But even if Yong Liwei had a twin, she was confident that she would be able to tell them apart.

Even identical twins still had some physical differences. She has the special ability to differentiate people even if they're twins. The Lu family always had twins in each generation that was why her uncle Lu Yifeng had twin girls. If her mother was not barren anymore and if she was to have another with her father, it was probably going to be twins. But... Her instinct was telling her that he was still the same man so she had to ignore that doubt she had inside.

"But a call shouldn't be enough. How did you find me?"

The man was quiet for a few seconds before a sigh was heard from him. "I had a tracking device attached to your dress."

"WHAT?!" She slightly turned her body to look at him with wide eyes. "What do you mean by tracking device?!"

He calmly turned to her dress that was on the ground. "I have to make sure that I'll be able to find you if someone tries to kidnap you."

"Which actually came in handy now," she chuckled in response. "Thank you for looking for me, Liwei."

"Hn."

Her body trembled upon feeling the cold wind that blew inside the cave. She snuggled closer than she already was inside the man's arm. She could feel her head heavy.

"You're burning." The man's low voice was heard from behind.

"I-I'm fine…"

"My car is nearby… I will-"

"Don't leave me…" She pleaded as she looked at him with a weak gaze. He was the only person she could turn to. He was the person who found her, the person who made her feel safe during that moment.

He stared at her for a moment. It was as if he was contemplating something.

"You can't leave me here… naked." A small pout formed on her lips.

She could feel his chest rumble when he let out a chuckle. "Of course, of course."

Yong Liwei tightened his hold around her. "You should get some rest. Your body needs it."

"All my body needs is you."

"..."

She shifted her body just so she could fully face him. She placed her hands on his chest as she looked at him with eyes that yearned for him to kiss her. Her feelings may have wavered back then when she was with Si Hongqi but... she just couldn't find the strength to resist Yong Liwei. She wanted him. Badly. So so badly.

Since it already turned out this way, she rather be with Yong Liwei than be with her childhood friend. If she chose Si Hongqi and began dating him... despite all her principles in life, she might just end up cheating on him just to have a taste of this sinful man. If Yong Liwei tried to seduce her, she could never say no.

The moment their lips met, Lu Mengjie lost her hold on reality. She felt his arms slip around her and tightened their grip on her. He had a hot, engulfing mouth. He kissed her with everything he had—his lips and tongue—and she kissed him back with equal fervor. Her body had its own mind. Just like that night, she yearned for him, his touch, his kiss, his everything. The sensation he brought was something she couldn't ignore. Her hands slid up his chest and around his neck which caused her to hear a sound from him, deep in his throat. It thrilled her to the point that it prompted her to kiss him more.

Yong Liwei made her lay against the cold stone without breaking the kiss. He kissed down her neck, tracing her jaw with his lips. The pleasure made her gasp, arching her body against him.

"Liwei…" Her breath caught in her throat.

"Hn?" His fingers continued their feather-light stroke on her skin.

She let out a gasp when he slipped his hand under her panty just to cup her womanhood.

"What is it?" He stopped kissing her as he leaned back a bit. His eyes burned with passion as he stared down at her. His fingers were toying her below, stroking and circling.

She could feel her consciousness fading and she cursed her fever for that. She wanted to stay awake but as she had her release, everything went black.

…

Her body felt sore all over when Lu Mengjie regained consciousness. She squinted her eyes open only to see Yong Liwei on top of her, pinning her hands on either side of her head. She felt his hot rod inside her.

Not yet done?

It was then that she noticed that he was not moving. She was about to open her mouth to say something but he was quick to whisper, "shh. Don't move."

It only made her wonder why. She noticed that his attention was elsewhere so she followed his gaze.

"AA—" Her mouth was quickly covered by his hand.

"Shh! Don't move!" He whisper-yelled.

A snake! A snake was crawling near their naked bodies!

Tears welled up at the side of her eyes. She felt another surge of her adrenaline. She wanted to get up and run out of the cave but Yong Liwei was holding her down so she shut her eyes tightly.

She suddenly felt something slithering up to her tummy. She felt chills run down her body as it did.

It was the snake! The snake! She cried inwardly. She didn't move and she even held her breath until the snake passed by.

A minute passed before Yong Liwei finally released her. "It's gone."

"A-are you sure?" She stuttered in a whispering voice.

"Yes. It went out of the cave."

She finally opened her eyes. She slowly sat up, pushing and forcing her heavy body up. She roamed her eyes around the cave before she turned her gaze to him. "I-I don't want to stay here anymore."

"It's still raining." The man went to check if their clothes were dry.

"We can look for another cave!" She suggested.

"A cave where that snake could have possibly gone to." He returned to her side as he looked at her in amusement.

"Liwei!" She snuggled close to him. Her eyes were still filled with tears. Her body was aching and heavy but at the thought of the snake, she couldn't just faint again! "What if it comes back?"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to protect your cave."
