Chapter 820 30 - Day Deadline

Long Jinjing became dazed after hearing Lu Zihao’s inconceivable words. She shook her head, not to deny what he said, but to clear her mind. She must be gawking at him like a red-faced idiot but her motor skills were unfortunately not working properly at the moment.

Moving his head closer to hers until their noses were almost touching but not quite, Lu Zihao pressed her chin up to close her gaping mouth. There was a slight seductive smile on his sinful lips.

"If this is what it takes for you to allow me to fuck you again, then so be it," he said in a low, mesmerizing voice. "I agree to your terms, Jinjing. But you also must agree to the terms that I said just now. What do you say?"

She almost nodded like a mindless, pecking chicken on instinct but fortunately there was still some good sense remaining inside her increasingly muddle-headed brain. Not much good sense left, to be honest, but enough to prevent herself from agreeing to everything he said without thinking.

"Thirty days," she whispered, looking away from his dangerously mesmerizing gaze.

"What?"

Swallowing hard, she forced herself to look at him straight in the eyes again to show that her words were serious and non-negotiable. "The duration of our girlfriend and boyfriend relationship if we’re able to finalize our negotiation and agree to both our terms. For thirty days, I’ll give you my body for pleasure, and in exchange, you’ll give me the respect I think I deserve as an official girlfriend."

A furrow formed between his brows as he thought about her new suggestion.

"We both know that whatever is going on between the two of us won’t last long," she continued saying. "It’s just lust. Nothing more. I’m sure that you don’t have any problem with it, but I’m not built the same way as you. Thirty days is the maximum length of time that I think I’ll be able to accept...having s-sex with you without expecting...for something more."

"Heh~ Interesting," he murmured. "What happens after thirty days?"

"We automatically break up. No hard feelings...hopefully. And then we return to our regular lives. Also, after our break up, I don’t want to have sexual relations with you any further in the future. Please stay as far away from me as possible because...because..." Her face turned crimson and she looked away again.

He used his fingers to pull her gaze back on him by her chin. "Because what?"

"Forget it."

"Tell me," he insisted.

She became even redder when she whispered her answer, "Because I might...I might f-fall in love with you. And both of us don’t want that to happen."

His fingers tightened on her chin. "I like your honesty."

She tried covering her tomato-red face with her hands but he stopped her. All she could do was to deal with her own embarrassment right in front of him.

"But don’t fall in love with me, Jinjing," he warned. "Falling in love with a man like me will be the worst decision that you’ll ever make in your entire life."

"I-I...I won’t!" she stammered. "And I already know that! You don’t have to tell me. That’s why we should s-stay away from each other after our...our...arrangement is over."

He made a sound in his throat but she wasn’t sure what it meant. Did it mean that he was agreeing? Or did he mean something else?

"Fine, then," he finally said. "I have no problem with your 30-day deadline."

She blinked. "R-really?"

"Yeah."

"Oh."

He narrowed his eyes. "Are we done negotiating?"

She was about to nod before stopping herself after thinking of something else. "Should we...uh, sign a contract or something?"

He scowled. "What for?"

"For our agreement."

"No need," he said, snorting at the idea.

"B-but—"

"No buts. I’m not signing any sex contract with you."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She glared at him. "It’s not a sex contract!"

"Oh, my bad. A 30-day relationship contract with sex involved." His mouth curved in a sinful smile yet again. "Lots and lots of sex."

Although her IQ was severely affected by his devilish smile, she still showed him her displeasure at the vulgar words he used to describe their agreement. "Wait, I have additional terms."

He released her chin and sighed. "Fine. Say everything now," he muttered while removing his coat.

The sight of him removing his coat distracted her, causing her to become unable to speak right away. Beads of sweat glistened on his neck and muscled arms. He was wearing a simple, black T-shirt underneath and it showcased his incredible figure.

"Like what you see?" his teasing voice interrupted her wild thoughts.

"O-of course not!" she immediately denied in embarrassment.

A devilish chuckle was his response. "What are your additional terms?"

"I..." She wiped her sweaty hands on her pyjama pants while clearing her throat. "I don’t want you to...have s-sex with other women while we’re in a relationship. If you do...I’ll break up with you even if the thirty days aren’t over yet. This is respect for me as an official girlfriend."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "Of course. Even I know that much."

She sighed in relief.

"And I want the same courtesy as well," he said. "Just try and sleep with another man...no, even if you just flirt with other fuckers, watch me, Jinjing. You don’t want to see me angry."

"I...I...of course, I won’t do that!"

She shivered and instinctively scooted away on the couch as soon as she felt his bloodthirsty aura.

"Good."

The dangerous aura disappeared, making her wonder if she imagined it. However, her goosebumps were telling a different story. She rubbed her hands over her skin to warm herself up.

"While I’m fucking you in these 30 days, it means that you’re my woman, Jinjing," he told her in a calm yet still threatening tone. "I’m territorial. I don’t like sharing. I hate it."

Despite the menace in his voice, she still raised her chin. "I-I’m the same. I also don’t want to share my...my m-man!"

"Heh~" His wicked, demonic smile was back as he teased her, "So does this mean that I’m your man now?"
