Kiss Me Where No One Can See

The year Lin Zhi turned fourteen, she met Jiang Yanci for the first time.

The boy was so beautiful that she believed angels really existed.

Years later, when Lin Zhi looked back on the moment she first met Jiang Yanci, all she could think was that it had been payback.

At A University, Jiang Yanci was a campus celebrity, a dazzling prodigy and a regular feature on the confession wall. Everything he did could spark a huge thread on the school forum. Lin Zhi, by contrast, was quiet and reserved, barely noticeable.

At the Jiang residence, Jiang Yanci was the sole heir to the Jiang Group and the master of the house. Lin Zhi was merely the daughter of one of the many servants working for the Jiang family.

They seemed worlds apart, with nothing in common.

But no one knew that every weekend morning, she woke up in Jiang Yanci's bed, aching all over.

Jiang Yanci contentedly held her in his arms, his voice languid. "Baby, why didn't you come to my match the day before yesterday? Didn't I send you the time? Hmm?"

"And the guy sitting behind you in your elective today, the one you turned around and smiled at. Who was he?"

Lin Zhi turned her head away in a sulk. She didn't want to answer, and she didn't have the strength to.

Jiang Yanci smiled. "Not talking?"

He clicked his tongue and pushed her down onto the bed. "Then let's keep going."

If she had known that once she got involved with Jiang Yanci, she'd never be able to escape the madman, she wouldn't have recklessly provoked him. And she certainly wouldn't have gone to him for help with her mother's situation, then agreed to his outrageous demands.

She had always been looking for a chance to get away from him. So when the time was right, she chose to vanish without a word on graduation day.

She thought she and Jiang Yanci belonged to different worlds, and that this was the best outcome for both of them.

After pulling herself together, Lin Zhi found a job without much trouble. It wasn't exactly easy, but the company had a bright future, the pay was good, and her boss and coworkers were nice. It seemed like everything was finally going well.

Until one day, word spread in the break room that the company had been acquired.

The new CEO was said to be from the Jiang Group. The female employees gathered together, talking most about his looks.

Lin Zhi's heart tightened.

Later, in an empty conference room, Jiang Yanci pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling window. Her cheeks were flushed, and she trembled with shame, clinging to his shoulder without strength as she heard him chuckle happily by her ear. "Shh, keep it down. You don't want your coworkers to hear us, do you?"

He gently bit her ear and murmured, "Zhi Zhi, I'm very unhappy because you haven't been good."

"Tell me, how should I punish you this time?"
