"It's you!" She blurted out, astonished to see Zhou Ming again .

How did he find her?

"You?"

His eyes glinted with mischief, a handsome smile appearing on his face . His cold, black eyes seemed to reflect her as she found herself compelled to look at them .

She cleared her throat, "Yes, the one whose birthday is being celebrated . "

She took a deep breath to leave, but he spoke again .

"Are you sure you don't recognize me from anywhere else?"

His footsteps that lingered closer and closer rung in her ears and she found a deep urge to run away .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Y-Yes, where would I get to know the heir of the Zhou family?"

She was anxious and wanted to leave immediately .

By his words, she was sure he had already realized it was her from that night .

She gasped when she felt his arm wrap around her waist, pulling her closer .

In the dim, barely-illuminated room, his face was very close to hers .

So close that his cold, black eyes seemed to reflect her as she found herself compelled to look at them .

So close that his hot, minty breath made her s.h.i.+ver .

So close that she could smell the cologne .

So close that she could feel the danger radiating off of him .

Just like what she remembered of that night, this man was too good-looking for his own good .

She fell in a trance as she looked into his eyes .

Unlike last time, she was completely sane and not drunk .

But why was he acting this way?

Didn't he pretend that she was less than a stranger when he saw her earlier?

"Are you sure?" He breathed, a wicked smile gracing his face .

She raised her hands to push him off, but he used his other hand to grip both of hers .

Pulling them above her head, he leaned even closer and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"

Before she had the chance to answer, he captured her lips with his .

He kissed with every fiber of his being, as though he was trying to emphasize something .

"Perhaps that could ring a bell . " He murmured once he raised his head, leaving her gasping for breath .

"You lost . "

The moment he uttered those two words, she froze .

There was no salvation to this situation, for he recognized her and remembered their 'bet' .

"I don't . . . know what you're talking about . " She mumbled, anxious to get away .

The only consolation she could give herself was the idea that she never agreed to their silly bet, thus, he could not hold her accountable for it .

"Oh?"

There was a glint of tease in her eyes, as though he enjoyed the inner turmoil she was going through .

As though he understood the complications he had brought upon her .

"Going back on your own words? How . . . disappointing . "

He released his grip on her hands and moved back, but that only made Xiao Yunhua annoyed .

Without thinking, she blurted out, "It's not going back on my own words when I didn't even vocally agree to your silly bet!"

Once she said those words, she panicked .

She had fallen into his trap and said words she could not take back!

"So you remember . Good to know . Unfortunately," he wrapped a strand of her hair around his long finger, silently admiring her beauty . That night, she had been drunk and a little messy . Tonight, she was fully awake and was looking too tempting for him to resist . "you agreed silently . Whether you take responsibility or don't responsibility for your actions . . . You are mine . "
