Wen Zhili couldn’t resist this forceful kiss at all. The sounds of lips and teeth mingled with hurried breaths echoed in her ears.
She was so ashamed that her entire body went limp, relying entirely on Huo Shengbai’s strong arms to support her so she wouldn’t fall.
Huo Shengbai was like a wolf starved for too long, eager to chew her clean and swallow her into his belly, merging her with him completely.
Meanwhile, Huo Cheng outside the door was still pounding heavily, growing even more agitated as he said, “Wen Zhili! Say something! Are you really asleep?!”
She realized that every time Huo Cheng spoke, Huo Shengbai kissed her more fiercely.
She immediately understood—this man’s possessiveness had flared up again.
He was still making it clear to her that she no longer belonged to Huo Cheng outside the door but to him!
He wouldn’t allow her to respond to Huo Cheng outside, nor would he let her agree to anything Huo Cheng said.
She didn’t dare struggle too hard, afraid of angering Huo Shengbai and also worried that making too much noise would alert Huo Cheng outside.
After knocking for a while, Huo Cheng finally gave up.
Fuming with rage, Huo Cheng said, “Wen Zhili, don’t you regret this. When the time comes, don’t beg me to sleep with you!”
With that, Huo Cheng stormed away angrily.
Only then did Wen Zhili clench her small fists and pound them against Huo Shengbai’s sturdy chest.
But it was useless.
Just as she was about to run out of breath, Huo Shengbai mercifully released her lips for a moment. However, his powerful hands still gripped her waist tightly, leaving her with nowhere to escape.
Wen Zhili looked into the man’s blazing eyes, her heart pounding wildly.
Now, she truly understood.
That night when she was reborn, the crazed and ferocious Huo Shengbai wasn’t like that just because he was drunk.
Rather, once he got involved in matters of the bed, he would turn into a hungry wolf, regardless of love or affection.
To put it simply, he was a proper gentleman with his clothes on, but a ferocious wolf with them off.
Wen Zhili continued to catch her breath, the corners of her eyes reddening. “Huo Shengbai! You… jerk!”
She covered her lips, afraid he might kiss her again.
Huo Shengbai forcibly restrained the madness within him and said gently, “Darling, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry.”
He was growing increasingly fond of hearing her call his name.
The louder she called it, the more it thrilled him.
Wen Zhili tried to push his chest away. “You can leave now!”
But Huo Shengbai still held her, not moving an inch.
He whispered gently, coaxing her, “Lili, I’ll sleep with you tonight.”
“What?” Wen Zhili’s eyes widened.
Huo Shengbai spoke even more softly. “I’m worried he might come back, maybe even with a key to unlock the door. I want to protect you.”
Wen Zhili was at a loss for words.
This man really was…
She had told him in the bathroom that she had given up on Huo Cheng.
And he seemed to believe it.
But it turned out that was only on the surface.
He still didn’t trust her, worried she might change her mind and rekindle her old feelings with Huo Cheng, just like before.
He wanted to keep an eye on her.
Wen Zhili turned her head away, refusing to meet his gaze, and said petulantly, “No!”
The next second, Huo Shengbai lifted her up as if cradling a baby.
With no support, Wen Zhili had no choice but to wrap her arms around him to keep from falling.
Wen Zhili asked nervously and confusedly, “What are you doing? Huo Shengbai!”
Huo Shengbai held her with one hand while the other reached for the doorknob and twisted it!With a click, the sound instantly jolted Wen Zhili’s sensitive nerves like a police siren.
Watching Huo Shengbai carry her out just like that, Wen Zhili was terrified: “Huo Shengbai! Put me down right now! I’m not going out!”
But Huo Shengbai looked utterly innocent as he said, “I was thinking, why not let everyone know about our relationship now? That way, we can sleep in the same bed openly.”
Wen Zhili bit her lip—this man was threatening her!
Huo Shengbai completely turned the doorknob, pulling the door open a crack.
Holding Wen Zhili, he took a step forward.
Wen Zhili, frightened into submission, finally gave in: “Alright, I agree! Tonight, you can sleep in the same bed as me.”
The corners of Huo Shengbai’s mouth lifted, and he immediately retreated into the room, quickly closing the door.
But Wen Zhili also warned, “You… you’re not allowed to do anything inappropriate. We’re just lying in the same bed, nothing more.”
Huo Shengbai looked pure and obedient as he complied, “Okay.”
As Wen Zhili lay in bed, ready to sleep, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Huo Shengbai was showering in the bathroom.
He would be out soon.
Wen Zhili’s fingers nervously clutched the bedsheet.
If he really intended to do something improper, what should she do?
She couldn’t fight him off!
She couldn’t escape!
And she couldn’t scream for help!
…
The memories of that night flooded her mind like seawater.
Tonight, would they really continue what they hadn’t finished that night?
Just as Wen Zhili’s thoughts ran wild and her face grew increasingly flushed, the bathroom door opened.
Wen Zhili looked over at the sound and saw the man’s healthy, wheat-toned skin, a white towel wrapped around his waist. From his waist upward, his body was defined by firm, beautiful muscle lines.
He not only had eight-pack abs but also a sexy V-line.
As he walked, the towel around his waist wasn’t wrapped tightly, hanging precariously.
Seeing this, Wen Zhili couldn’t help but swallow.
That night, she had been too scared, keeping her eyes closed most of the time, and hadn’t had the chance to see his physique.
But now, Huo Shengbai’s perfect, robust figure was almost entirely on display before her eyes.
Wen Zhili stared, not even blinking.
Huo Shengbai walked toward her, step by step, like a fierce hunting leopard closing in on its prey, yet unhurried, careful not to frighten the poor little rabbit.
Whether intentionally or accidentally, Huo Shengbai’s foot caught on the towel wrapped around his waist.
The white towel instantly fell to the floor.
