As soon as the words fell, Shu Pan headed into the kitchen, and Gu Shaoting entered the bedroom.

When Gu Shaoting emerged, a steaming bowl of noodles was already served on the table.

Gu Shaoting saw Shu Pan setting the bowl at the dining table. He walked over and naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist. His firm chin rested on her shoulder, intimately pressing against her.

“Don’t play around. Eat quickly; it’ll get cold, and it’s already late,” Shu Pan gently protested.

However, the man, seemingly oblivious, continued holding her delicate waist, gradually moving upward. Annoyed, Shu Pan swatted away his hands.

“Eat quickly.” With that, she pried open his hands and returned to the bedroom to shower.

“Sulky little thing,” Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan, embarrassed but secretly pleased. After all, she had provoked his unhappiness today.

Shu Pan finished her shower, wearing a nightgown as she pushed open the bathroom door. To her surprise, she found Gu Shaoting lying half-reclined on her bed, evidently satisfied after a hearty meal.

She was startled. “Are you full?” Shu Pan asked.

“What do you think?” Gu Shaoting replied vaguely.

“Why are you in my room? Did you enter the wrong one?” Shu Pan asked, frowning.

Gu Shaoting raised an eyebrow. “I don’t want to be alone. I want to sleep with you tonight.”

“What?” Shu Pan thought she misheard, as he had never made such a request before.

“It means exactly what you heard,” Gu Shaoting teased.

“I don’t want to.” Shu Pan instinctively covered her chest with her hand, eyeing him warily.

Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan’s nightgown. It wasn’t a provocative style, but it was very attractive. She looked pure yet subtly alluring in it.

Looking at her fair and slender legs below the skirt, he couldn’t help feeling a bit heated.

Simultaneously, Shu Pan was sizing him up. He wore a two-piece satin pajama set, but no matter what, he exuded a dignified air. Even in pajamas, he looked noble.

Shu Pan was also a bit distracted. Why was her mind now occupied with the strong and defined lines under his pajamas?

“I promise I won’t do anything. Just sleep.” Gu Shaoting, aware of Shu Pan’s thoughts, spoke up.

Gu Shaoting sat up, then grabbed Shu Pan’s hand. Shu Pan, off-balance, fell into his arms.

Shu Pan was frightened; her heart skipped a beat. Her red lips were about to call out.

The man’s hand quickly covered her small mouth, silencing her calls. His handsome face approached hers.

His crisp masculine scent sprayed on her face, and Shu Pan felt a strange sensation in her heart.

“Gu Shaoting, let me go.” Shu Pan struggled.

Gu Shaoting chuckled, enjoying Shu Pan’s coquettish demeanor. The small bedside lamp illuminated her face clearly.

A pair of watery, intense eyes radiated passionate anger. A delicate, lovely nose, tempting for a kiss.

Shu Pan couldn’t break free, her pretty face blushing, glaring at Gu Shaoting.

Gu Shaoting smirked, and before she could process what was happening, a hand appeared behind her head. She helplessly watched as the man’s domineering kiss sealed her alluring red lips.

The man’s kiss, forceful yet lingering, left Shu Pan unable to push him away, making the world around her momentarily blank.

Shu Pan wasn’t an inexperienced young girl; she had an idea of what was to come next. Her strength seemed to be gradually drained away..
