Lovely You: Sweet Love Forever

Later at night, at Sunrise Hotel in D City

Carolyn Jiang ran out of a deluxe suite. She was very nervous. Behind her five several strong men in hot pursuit.

"Hurry up! Catch her! She cannot escape!"

"If this operation gets screwed up, none of us will get a penny!"

Carolyn was forcefully fed some drug. The moment the drug began to affect her, she would lose her consciousness and these men could do her as much as they wanted.

At this moment, the drug was slowly working its way through her body, and she could feel its effect. She blushed as her delicate fair face turned red. She had watery eyes, long black hair, and wore a light-colored skirt. All these made her look light and charming.

When Carolyn passed by the elevator, the doors opened.

"God bless me! I am in luck!"

Carolyn immediately entered the elevator and shut it with the door-close button. Then, without thinking about what she was doing, she pressed the button to take her to the VIP floor.

The VIP floor was not accessible to ordinary people. But what was uppermost on her mind right now was to escape.

'I have no choice. I want to avoid capture. Those guys are dangerous!' Carolyn dwelled on those thoughts to comfort herself.

She was so frightened, which made her feel weak. Also, the unknown drug given to her made her body limp and her limbs weak. She felt boiling all over her body.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she heard the voice of the men chasing her. She couldn't stop and ran nervously towards the most luxurious room on the VIP floor.

Luck was on her side a second time. The door to Room 8888 happened to be open.

Benson Gu, the young president of Gu Group, was discussing some company matters with his assistant, Luis Tang.

"Sir! Please help me! Help me!" Carolyn grabbed Benson's sleeve.

Benson looked at Carolyn. She looked very innocent and delicate. She wasn't wearing make-up, yet she looked beautiful. Her eyes were watery, her lips pink and tender, and she had a pretty face with fair skin. He had long been reluctant to touch a woman, but he was much attracted to her right now.

Carolyn was looking up at Benson. She found his face fascinating. His short, neat hair was black and shiny. He had thick and well-defined eyebrows with bright, deep eyes that sparkled with intelligence. A gentle smile played on his thin lips at that moment, making him look more handsome.

Luis was stunned by what he saw. He had counted up to ten in his mind, but his boss allowed the woman to keep clinging to him.

'This is a miracle!' It was unbelievable as Luis watched with an open mouth.

"She is here!"

"We want her. Hand her over!"

The dangerous men caught up with her. They were determined to complete their mission. Otherwise, their employer would not give them any money.

"No! Don't! Please help me, sir!" The drug was almost making her unconscious at that moment. Carolyn held onto Benson's sleeve as if her life depended on it. She was afraid he would refuse to help her.

"Drive those noisy flies away," Benson said. His voice was cold.

"Yes, sir." After saying that, Luis walked out and shut the door.

Then she heard people scream behind the door. In seconds, everything became quiet.

When the voice of those men died, Carolyn sighed with relief. She was saved. She released Benson's sleeve.

At that very moment, she heard an indifferent voice speaking to her from above her.

"Who sent you here?"

Carolyn didn't understand what his question meant. She was confused and raised her head to look into his gorgeous eyes.

She wanted to open her mouth and answer him when he drew her close to his chest and held her tight in his arms.

"Hey! What do you want? Let me go!"

Carolyn tried to get away from him, but he held her more tightly. She could feel his body rapidly warming up, and the hot feeling in his body matched hers. 'Is he also drugged?' she wondered.

"Damn it!"

Benson cursed. He remembered the bird's nest soup that his grandmother specially ordered for him. It must have been drugged.

His desire rose again when he looked at the pretty woman wriggling in his arms. Then, leaning forward, he pressed her down on the bed.

"Ah! Please! Don't... Let me go! What do you want?" Carolyn was struggling with all her might.

However, the drug started to affect her, and she felt weak. When she pushed his chest, it didn't look to him like she was resisting. Instead, he thought she was flirting with him.

"Woman, it would do you good to lie still. Otherwise..."

Benson had his hands on Carolyn's sides. He frowned. He was trying his best to restrain his urges.

On the other hand, Carolyn was slowly moving into unconsciousness and couldn't hear what Benson said. She was still wriggling below him.

"Woman, you are asking for this!"

Finally, Benson could no longer control himself. The beautiful woman who lay under his body was a strong temptation he could not resist.

When she woke up in the morning, Carolyn felt sore all over. It was as if someone had broken her bones during the night.

She was about to turn over to stretch her body when she saw Benson's handsome face. He was sound asleep because he was too tired last night.

Her eyes flew open. Carolyn became frightened.

'Oh my God! What happened last night was not a dream! It was far from one!'

Carolyn was horrified, and she covered her mouth with her hand. She thought she just had a sexual dream last night!

'I had sex with a stranger!' The thought made her grimace.

Carolyn could recollect bits and pieces of what happened. After being drugged by someone the night before, she had escaped and came here. As for what had happened after that, she could not remember. She could not even recall who took the initiative to have sex, but the deed had been done. There was no going back.

Anyway, the man in front of her was not bad-looking. On the contrary, he was handsome, and she did not seem to dislike him at all.

She took a deep breath and quietly got out of the bed. She frowned when she saw the mess on the floor.

Her skirt and underwear littered the floor. She picked them up and put them on while enduring the pain in her body. She could not help but complain, 'This man is too violent. He has even torn my skirt!'

She pursed her lips and carefully inspected the skirt. It was a little broken but wearable.

When she finished dressing up, Carolyn turned around and looked at Benson. She took out two hundred dollars from her bag and then wrote a note. She placed them on the tea table before leaving.

When Benson woke up, he saw that the woman he slept with had gone. He sat up on the bed, revealing the vital and charming upper part of his body.

The woman had left a unique fragrance on his pillow. The scent reminded him of last night's escapade.

Benson frowned and rubbed at his forehead. As he was getting agitated, his eyes settled on the dark red stain on the white bed sheet.

'She was a virgin?'

Benson was a little surprised by this, but then his anger replaced the surprise of his discovery.

He saw the two hundred dollars and the note with delicate handwriting.

"What happened last night was just an accident. I don't want to see you again! From now on, we will never have any interactions with each other. In addition, this money is to compensate you for saving me. It's not much, but I appreciate what you did."

'How dare she run away after sleeping with me?

That was my first time. And it only cost two hundred dollars?'

Benson tore the note into pieces. His face became darkened.

Moments later, he picked up the phone and dialed his assistant's number.

"Find out who that woman was last night! I want the answer in an hour!"

At the villa of the Jiang family

Carolyn alighted from the bus and walked to the villa. She was so tired and felt dizzy. This villa belonged to her mother. It was the warmest and most comfortable place in the world when her mother was alive.

After her mother's death, the villa became a cold, unbearable cage.

Her stepmother had made her move to a small bedroom on the first floor while she lived in the most luxurious bedroom on the second floor.

When Carolyn entered the villa, she saw Reyna Jiang, her half-sister, eating sunflower seeds in a rattan chair in the yard.

Reyna was a bit surprised to find Carolyn safe and sound. She was shocked that Carolyn had a rosy complexion and lustrous skin.

'That's impossible! How could those five strong men be tender to her? I don't get it!'

"Gee! Carolyn, are you finally willing to come back home? Did you fool around with some men last night? You look taken!" Reyna said, trying to sound provocative.

"I was with Cohen last night. Sorry to let you down," Carolyn said. She smoothed her hair with her hand, trying to appear unflustered.

Cohen Zhao was Carolyn's fiance, and the Zhao family was considered second-rate in D City. Carolyn's father always wanted to be a member of the upper class, so he always tried to curry favor with people from that segment of society.

Carolyn was engaged to Cohen, but that was against her will. She didn't fancy him. However, it was challenging to disobey her father, so she agreed to the arrangement.

No one expected that Reyna would have a crush on Cohen. Carolyn believed that she was likely the one who drugged her last night.

"What? That's impossible! Cohen will never fall in love with you. Not in this life! You're a bitch!" Reyna shouted. She looked angry.

Last night, she received photos of Carolyn surrounded by five strong men. She did not know what happened after that.

'Did Cohen save Carolyn, and they later spent the night together?' Reyna thought, confused.

"Reyna, wake up. Cohen is just toying with your emotions," Carolyn sneered.

Reyna was infuriated. Jumping up with rage, she growled, "You're talking nonsense, Carolyn. Nonsense! You were fooling around with five men last night! And you were not with Cohen at all! I won't believe your nonsense!"

When Carolyn heard what Reyna said, her face became dark.

"It really was you!"

All along, Carolyn had suspected that Reyna was the one behind what happened last night. And now she was sure of it.

"Carolyn! How dare you?" When she realized she had fallen for Carolyn's trap, Reyna became even more infuriated.

"You're a bitch! You set me up. How dare you?" Carolyn roared at her, the veins on her neck showing.

"So what if I did? There is nothing you can do about it. I'm Dad's favorite girl. I've always been able to get whatever pleases me since I was a child. How dare you steal Cohen from me? You bitch! You deserved it!" Reyna replied, her tone arrogant and overbearing.

A chill ran through Carolyn. With fire in her eyes, she raised her hand before Reyna.

And with all her strength, she gave her a hard slap.

"Carolyn! You're so bold! How dare you! You dared to hit me?"

Reyna fell to the ground when Carolyn gave her the hard slap.

"So what if I beat you?" Carolyn rode on Reyna's body and kept hitting her with both hands.

"Dad! Mom! Help! Help! Come and help me!

Dad! Carolyn wants to kill me!"

Reyna was scared when Carolyn kept hitting her. She thought Carolyn was about to beat her to death.

Because of the protection of her parents, Reyna took the dare to bully Carolyn without any regard for her feelings.

When they heard Reyna's call for help, Harold Jiang and Daisy Wang rushed out. They saw Carolyn riding on Reyna and beating her, so they went to stop her.

"Carolyn, you bitch! Who gave you the guts? How dare you hit my daughter? I won't spare you!" Daisy roared fiercely. She then helped Reyna to stand up.

"Dad, look at my face! She disfigured it! If she ruins my face, how can I marry into a wealthy family?" Reyna said. She was crying as she spoke.

Harold looked at Reyna with eyes full of care, then he turned to Carolyn with an angry look. "How could you be so cruel to your sister?"

"Dad, I think you should first ask your dear daughter what she did before you question me!" Carolyn said in a cold voice.

Harold looked Reyna straight in the eye and asked her, "What did you do to her?"

Reyna became cowardly instantly. She went to hide behind her mother, Daisy. "I hired several men to make love to her. But she's okay now, isn't she? She hit me! How could she? Dad, you need to punish her."

"What? How dare you do that?" Harold glared at Reyna as his face turned red.

Her father's reaction made Carolyn happy. At least, for once in her life, someone showed concern for her.

When Daisy saw that Harold was angry, she rushed to Reyna's defense.

"Carolyn is fine. She is still alive, and nothing happened to her. But look at my daughter's face. See how swollen it is because of the blows and slaps from Carolyn."

To Daisy, Carolyn was a bitch. She would not care, even if the men had tortured her to death.

"You're just short-sighted! Carolyn is engaged to Cohen. If he knows that, he will call off the engagement. It's not easy to have a kinship with the Zhao family. Do you want to screw it up?" Harold said feverishly. Now, his anger was even more evident.

When Carolyn heard what Harold said, a chill ran through her, and her hands trembled. She always knew her father did not like her, but she had not expected his indifference to her plight.

He didn't care about her at all. She was just a pawn the Jiang family would use to curry favor for themselves and amass wealth from her marriage.

"Carolyn, you're a shameless woman! What you did might disgrace the Jiang family! You're an ungrateful bitch!" Daisy cursed.

"Dad, Mom, Carolyn was born to be a bitch, and she will always remain one. She is very good at seducing men. Even if I asked those men to pester her, she enjoyed it and did not resist," Reyna said in mockery.

"Of course, why would she resist? Look at how dissolute she looks. She enjoyed those men fucking her. Right, Carolyn, didn't you?" Daisy sneered.

"Tell me, were you deflowered last night?" Harold asked anxiously.

Carolyn just sneered at him. She wanted to ask God why she had such a father. 'He doesn't care about me and my feelings. He isn't even going to punish Reyna for her evil. What a father!'

Reyna had set her up, but they directed the mocking and questioning at her.

Her family was so shameless.

She did not expect this of them.

Just then, Carolyn's phone rang, and she looked at the screen. The caller was Cohen.

Carolyn ignored it, but Reyna excitedly grabbed the phone and answered the call when she saw the number.

With a sly smile, she pressed the hands-free button.

"Carolyn! You are such a shameless woman. You've been pretending to be chaste before me all this while, but you slept with men behind my back. I've even received photos as evidence! I'm disappointed in you. Very disappointed! I want to inform you that I have canceled my engagement to you officially!"

The photos Cohen was talking about were sent to him by Reyna. Although there was no substantial material to those photos, they were still proof that Carolyn had been fooling around with men.

After Cohen hung up the phone, Harold became gloomy. His plan had become unfruitful.

"You're nothing but trouble. And you're also a pest!" Harold roared, pointing his fingers at Carolyn.

"Dad, it seems you've forgotten something. I'm your daughter, and I inherited your traits and characters," Carolyn said with a sneer. "When you insult me, you are also insulting yourself, unless I'm not your daughter."

Full of anger, Harold slapped Carolyn in the face.

"You're a shameless bitch! Talking nonsense!" It was as if Carolyn had attacked him at his weakest point. Harold's eyes popped with rage.

"She's useless. You don't have to be so worked up because of her. Now that Cohen called off the engagement, what should we do?" Daisy said, pleased with the treatment Carolyn had received.

Harold had a worried look on his face. It had not been easy to kinship with the Zhao family, and now it was ruined by Carolyn.

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about it. Actually, Cohen and I have been in love with each other for a long time." Reyna blushed as she spoke. She could not help touching her face out of shyness.

"Really?" Daisy exclaimed. This was good news.

"Of course. Cohen must have broken his engagement to Carolyn because he loves me. He took this as the opportunity to break up with her," Reyna said affectionately.

"My daughter is such a beautiful princess. Everyone loves her!" Daisy said, beaming with pride.

Despite her strenuous efforts, Daisy had failed to get Cohen and Reyna together because he seemed infatuated with Carolyn.

Now, Reyna took Cohen away from her sister.

"Thanks, Mom. You were the one who made it possible."

Carolyn felt disgusted with Daisy and Reyna. The mother and daughter were so shameless.

"The two of you are ridiculous!" Harold said, frowning. "Reyna, why did you steal Cohen from Carolyn?"

Carolyn's eyes lit up. 'Maybe Dad isn't as bad as I thought.'

What he said next made her abandon her naive thoughts.

"The Zhao family is just a second-class family. I don't want such for you. You are better than that. Your goal is to marry into a first-class family! Besides, Cohen is notorious. He is a playboy. You will only suffer if you marry him!" Harold said.

Carolyn could not believe what she heard.

'So, Dad knew Cohen is a scumbag, and yet, he wanted to force me to marry him, ' she thought.

"I don't think you can do anything about it right now. We've already had sex. I don't care what anyone thinks about him. I love Cohen!" Reyna was head over heels in love with Cohen.

"Harold, forget it. Just let Reyna has what she wants," Daisy said in a soft voice that showed she was clearly in league with Reyna.

Since Reyna and Cohen had sex, Harold saw no point in pursuing the matter any further. Reyna could have her way.

"Carolyn, leave this family now! You will only ruin the reputation of our family if you stay. Don't come back, ever again! And don't call me Dad either!" Harold shouted.

Carolyn was totally disappointed with her father. She did not want to stay in this in this family anyway.

"I will leave, but first, I must take away the legacy bequeathed to me by my mother," Carolyn replied. She drawled her speech so that Harold would hear every word of what she said.

When Carolyn's mother was alive, she had left her a fortune in a will. But now, Daisy and her daughter were having it.

"No way! That's my dowry! No one, not even you, can take it away from me!" Reyna was the first to speak. She was already crying.

"It cannot be. That's wishful thinking on your part, Carolyn! You've been living in this house for twenty years. I haven't charged you for your accommodation. You're now talking about the legacy! What legacy?" Daisy refused Carolyn's request too.

"Daisy Wang! We need to make some facts clear! My mother is the reason why the Jiang family has a measure of glory today. She used her dowry to support the Jiang family through the crisis. If she hadn't, I'm afraid the family would have been bankrupt today!" Carolyn said harshly.

"Gee! Harold, your daughter has the nerve to call me by my name! Did her mother ever teach her anything about manners? What an ill-bred person," Daisy said sarcastically.

Slap! Carolyn gave Daisy a slap in the face.

"Don't ever slander my mother!" No one ever slandered her mother without facing the consequences. She would never allow that to happen.

"You bitch! How dare you!" Daisy was now covering her face with her hand. "Harold, it's time to teach your daughter a good lesson. Otherwise, this marriage is over. I will divorce you!"

"Shut up!" Harold snapped. The look on his face was severe. Daisy became frightened, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Carolyn, I was kidding. You are my daughter. I don't have the heart to drive you away. It was just a slip of the tongue," Harold said.

"Your joke was not funny at all," Carolyn retorted, her voice cold and her look fierce.

Harold knew he had to be shrewd with Carolyn. She was as aloof as her mother; she had never taken the initiative to please him.

The Jiang family business was going through rough times. If Carolyn took away her mother's legacy, the company would collapse. He would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Carolyn, I will never repeat such jokes," Harold said with a smile. "You must be tired. Why not go and have a rest?"

Carolyn sneered at him and walked towards her bedroom on the first floor.

"Harold! How could she be so easily forgiven? I became your second wife at a very young age. And I gave you a son and a daughter! Your ungrateful daughter just beat me up, and you won't stand up for me? I'm disappointed. I'm highly unhappy with you!

Reyna! When your brother is not home, your father don't take us seriously. This is too much to bear!" Daisy yelled at him like a shrewish wife. She was sitting on the floor, and tears were flowing down her cheeks.

"That's enough! Do you want our company to go bankrupt? Don't you want to enjoy a good life anymore?

Besides, she's our servant. She's been doing all the housework here for so many years. Otherwise, we'd have to hire a servant, which would cost money. She has saved us a lot of money," Harold said, emphasizing every point.

His words made Daisy stand up from the floor.

"Yes, you're right. I almost forgot. We can't waste a free servant!" Daisy realized how shrewd Harold was.

At Gu family in D City

Benson was taking a bath in his bathtub. He leaned back and rested his head on the edge of the bathtub, closing his sharp eyes.

Carolyn's pretty face and attractive pink lips were on his mind. They had dominated his thoughts. He felt addicted to the taste of her lips. It was so good.

"Damn it! I can't stop thinking of that woman. Why?"

He didn't have an answer to the question.

Minutes later, he stood up and put on his clothes. Within seconds, he was out of the bathroom.

"Benson! Why didn't you tell me that you were back? I have been expecting you."

Claudia, Benson's grandmother, came up to him happily.

"I alighted from the plane not long ago," Benson replied.

Just then, a Samoyed dog quickly ran to meet him.

"Bunny!" Benson was smiling as he saw his dog. He picked it up and gently stroked its soft white hair.

Bunny was also pleased with its master's return. It began to rub itself intimately against his body.

"You haven't seen me for a long time. Do you miss me? I missed you." The cute puppy was like a snowball.

"How ingrate you are, Benson. You are happier to see your dog than your grandma!" Claudia was envious.

"Grandma, don't be childish," Benson said, giving her his affectionate smile.

"You won't be leaving this time, will you?"

"No, I won't."

Claudia became serious. "When will you give me a granddaughter-in-law? And a lovely great-grandson?"

"You drugged me because of it?" Benson looked at her in disbelief.

Claudia wondered how he knew. "You made me do it.

You're 28 this year, and I'm pursuing 80. I only have a son, and that is your father. You are his only son..."

"Well, Grandma, I have some business at the company. I have to be gone." Benson could not stand the nagging from his grandmother. He put Bunny down and ran away.
