Chapter 553 - 249.
When the man silently embraced Wanxia, her body momentarily stiffened as if frozen by ice from head to toe, even her breathing paused.But she quickly regained her composure.
She turned around lazily and leaned against the glass.
He only wore a towel around his waist, his short hair still dripping with water, perfectly revealing his abs, still glistening with moisture.
"I’m not that greedy," she met the man’s intense gaze, lightly licking the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, her smile sweet and charming, "After all, countless heiresses are eyeing Mr. Gu like a piece of meat, and since I’ve jumped the line, I should make room for them."
After bathing, the woman’s delicate features were free from makeup, clean and pure.
Her half-wet long hair fell slightly disheveled over her shoulders, with strands sticking to her face, adding a touch of gentleness.
But due to the alcohol, her exposed skin blushed a charming red in the air, her drunken eyes easily igniting the man’s most primal impulses.
Gu Shaozhi chuckled softly, his arm circled her waist and lifted her, both falling into the soft bed.
His tongue gently curled, capturing her delicate earlobe, his voice hoarse, "Then shouldn’t I savor this ’rent’ a little bit at a time?"
Holding her fragrant and warm body in his arms, the hollow space hidden for four years inside his chest felt slightly satiated.
Once the dizzying feeling of weightlessness faded, Wanxia lightly laughed, "Can I start stating my first condition now, Mr. Gu?"
The last words were drawn out with a particularly long tone.
Only a bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, the dim light adding some allure to her already ambiguous tone.
The air was filled with the rich scent of wine, and Gu Shaozhi seemed bewitched by this ancient fox demon; even if she were to stab a knife into his heart, he would still agree.
Dense kisses landed on her neck, spreading from her collarbone all the way to her ear, his voice hoarse, "Go ahead."
The entire bottle of red wine was nearly poured into Wanxia’s stomach and was now slowly fermenting.
Her vision began to blur, her voice weakening, soft and gentle, "Help me find someone, the intern I was in charge of when I worked at YK, Song Mingyang, you’ve met him."
For Shen Weiyi, only by using this man’s hands to unearth those pieces of evidence could be the sharpest blade.
Gu Shaozhi seemed to be savoring a red wine cake, his lips and tongue unwilling to leave any inch of her skin.
His slender fingers gradually moved towards the belt of her nightgown, "At the latest, I’ll have him in front of you in a week."
Wanxia was deeply pressed into the soft mattress, her fine white fingers tightly gripping the sheets beneath, her gaze dazedly watching the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
At the corner of her eyes appeared a faint smile, seeming both mocking and derisive.
She closed her eyes, raising her hand to clasp the man’s shoulder.
To get something, a sacrifice must be made; that’s an unchanging rule of society.
Ji Wanxia was drunk, her eyes blurred, but Gu Shaozhi was sober.
So, before completely sinking into the abyss of desire, he clearly felt that the hand the woman placed on his shoulder, each finger suddenly tightened at the most intimate moment.
Her mind clearly resisted him, and even numbed by alcohol, she still rejected him, every nerve strained tightly.
Yet she forced her body to accommodate him.
Manipulation or revenge?
Ha...
Who cares?
That night, Gu Shaozhi had a dream.
His Mrs. Gu wore a loose hospital gown, standing with her back to him on the hospital rooftop, her hoarse voice filled with endless disappointment.
"Knowing it was an abyss I couldn’t climb out of, I still stepped in. No one forced me, so... I can’t blame anyone else; if blame is needed, I can only blame myself for being blind."
Even though she was right in front of him, he couldn’t catch her, and his palms grasped only air.
Barren, distant.
"But it’s okay, everyone is blind when they’re young, the future is long, and I’ll meet many people. You, Gu Shaozhi, will eventually become my past."
After the chill, there was a light, carefree laugh.
She turned to look at him, her long hair wildly blown by the wind, her pale lips curved upward, with a smile that seemed both mocking and derisive.
"You better take good care of Miss Shen and keep her safe, or by the time I make my move, she might already be gone."
That day, a torrential rain fell on An City, seemingly capable of submerging the entire city.
