Chapter 103: I Was Not Causing a Scene
“Ah—!”
Ruan Cha opened her mouth without the slightest politeness. She had not even clearly seen who stood before her before she was ready to scream for help.
But the moment she opened her mouth, a large hand clamped over it.
Ruan Cha’s heart lurched.
Damn it.
He wasn’t going to... was he?
Just as that thought flashed through her mind, she unexpectedly met a pair of eyes dark as ink.
“Gu Zhenzhi...?”
A muffled sound slipped from behind the hand over her mouth.
She blinked, and in the next instant a fleeting image flashed through her mind. Without another thought, she hooked her slender legs around his waist!
What had been a rather miserable scene was suddenly tinged with a faintly seductive air.
Especially since, to keep Ruan Cha from falling, Gu Zhenzhi had braced himself on the floor with both arms, and Ruan Cha was practically hanging off him.
Her thin arms were looped around his neck, and her legs were wrapped around his waist.
Gu Zhenzhi’s eyes darkened.
The violent thud in his chest shook his gaze into stillness.
“Let go.”
“I won’t!”
Gu Zhenzhi slowly rose, still supporting himself on the floor, but Ruan Cha remained clinging to him. No matter how hard he tried to pull her off, she would not budge.
“My patience has limits.”
“My bathroom is not for other people to enter! Gu Zhenzhi, you came into my bathroom—are you coveting me? Do you already like me? So you really do have those kinds of thoughts about me, sob sob sob...”
Ruan Cha pouted, her bright, watery eyes shrouded in mist.
It seemed as though she might burst into tears the next second, but then her tone abruptly changed. “If you really do have those kinds of thoughts about me, you should have said so earlier! I’m coveting you too!”
Gu Zhenzhi’s expression turned icy in an instant.
His brows drew together tightly, his gaze cold and indifferent, his whole presence so chilling it was alarming. “Ruan Cha, is this how you act with every man?”
His husky voice was packed with fury, and the scene he had seen that afternoon rose again in his mind.
His fingers tightened unconsciously.
The two of them moved to the side of the bed in the bedroom. Gu Zhenzhi yanked Ruan Cha’s hands away.
Ruan Cha fell heavily against the edge of the bed. Dazed, she looked up, unable to understand why Gu Zhenzhi had suddenly flown into such a rage.
Yet when Gu Zhenzhi looked into her innocent eyes, the fire in his chest only burned hotter.
He raised a hand, his fingers languidly settling on the tie he had not yet removed from over his shirt. His pale fingers had no trace of color, and he gave it a rough, impatient tug.
“Ruan Cha—”
Gu Zhenzhi bent down, one arm braced beside her ear, the curve of his lips mocking to the extreme. “Do you think it’s fun, fooling me around as though I’m some idiot?”
Ruan Cha’s heart gave a sharp jolt when she heard this.
She lifted her eyes and met Gu Zhenzhi’s face, as exquisitely handsome as ever, beautiful enough to make the heart race.
Her heart thudded hard.
“Gu Zhenzhi...” Her slender voice was distinctly hoarse. “I never thought you were an idiot, I...”
In Gu Zhenzhi’s cold eyes, there was not the slightest ripple.
“Enough.”
The man’s cool, stern face came closer, so close that Ruan Cha could almost touch the tip of his nose with hers.
Their breaths tangled.
The skin at her cheeks and the tips of her ears grew slightly warm.
Her gaze flickered.
Her heartbeat was like a drum.
“Ruan Cha, leave when you’ve had enough nonsense. Don’t challenge my bottom line. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay the price...”
Ruan Cha’s eyes immediately stung.
All she could see now were Gu Zhenzhi’s thin, heartless lips.
“I’m not making a scene...” she said in a small, husky voice, her grievance so deep even her shoulders trembled faintly.
Gu Zhenzhi’s lips were just about to curl into a cold smile.
Then Ruan Cha suddenly leaned forward.
And pressed her lips to his.
