Night Fire Lingering

The car was silent for several seconds.

Only the breath felt unbearably hot.

Whether out of anger or provocation, Gu Yanci chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Wen Zhizhi, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Hmm?"

The last word rose in pitch, carrying a hint of threat.

Wen Yan smiled like a sly little fox, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned in to kiss his lips, saying, "Isn't this a reward for you? The woman took the initiative, in the car, no condom... Isn't this what you men like?"

Gu Yanci gritted her teeth and said, "Who taught you that? Who are 'them'? Besides me, what other men do you have? I didn't teach you any of this."

Before he finished speaking, he pulled his suit jacket over Wen Yan, wrapped her up, opened the car door, and carried her into the villa.

This is a private villa, and there can't be anyone else in the underground garage, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get out of the car today.

“Honey,” the man said as he walked, “I’ll take the reward I want myself.”

He lowered his eyes, his gaze dark and deep, looking at Wen Yan as if she were his prey: "Tonight, you'd better not beg me to let you go."

Wen Yan: "..."

The last time Gu Yanci said something like that, Wen Yan's consequence was that she cried and begged him to let her go.

Wen Yan was a little scared. She was thrown onto the big bed in the master bedroom by the man. When she saw the open drawer of the bedside table, she began to regret it.

This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!

"Hey, wait..."

Gu Yanci easily clasped Wen Yan's hands together and placed them on his head.

"Wait for what? A suspended death sentence?"

"..."

"Wait, wait!" Wen Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide and pushed him away. "Really wait! I... I'm feeling a little unwell..."

Gu Yanci looked at her with a dark expression.

When the arrow was on the bowstring, she said, "Wait!"

But she said she wasn't feeling well, so Gu Yanci took a deep breath and patiently asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"

"My stomach..." Wen Yan touched her lower abdomen, "I... I might be getting my period soon..."

Wen Yan's period is not very regular and is often delayed. Gu Yanci calculated the time and realized that she hadn't come this month, so it was normal for her to come now.

The man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. After leaning against Wen Yan for several seconds, he closed his eyes tightly and said, "Wen Zhizhi, I'll remember this debt!"

After saying that, she resignedly got up and went to the bathroom.

Wen Yan blinked and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been granted a pardon.

She went to the bathroom and checked; it was clean, so it wasn't her period.

Did they eat something bad?

Wen Yan was somewhat puzzled, and felt a vague, inexplicable discomfort in her lower abdomen.

Hearing the soft sound of water running in the bathroom, she walked over and knocked on the door: "Um... how about I help you?"

After all, she's the one who started this trouble...

A low, husky, and annoyed voice came from inside: "If you're not feeling well, go back to bed!"

She'll feel even more uncomfortable after being splashed with cold water.

Wen Yan touched her nose guiltily.

The next day.

The senior executives at the Gu Group headquarters tacitly informed each other: President Gu is in a bad mood today, so please be careful with your words and actions!

Zhou Qi was not surprised at all; he knew without even guessing that it was most likely related to the president's wife.

Don't be curious, don't ask questions, let's all be friendly!

“President Gu, Young Master He has arrived.” Zhou Qi thought for a moment before saying, “Young Master He looks… somewhat haggard.”

He looked more than just haggard; He Tingchuan hadn't shaved his stubble, his hair was unkempt, and he looked like he'd been up all night for several nights in a row.

He Tingchuan, who arrived uninvited, sat down in the chair opposite Gu Yanci and asked bluntly, "Where did you take Luo Beiqing?"

He didn't ask about his son at all, only about his ex-wife.

Gu Yanci knew he was coming back and asked, "Young Master He, are you planning to kidnap him or chase after him?"
