His cold and elegant face gently pressed against hers.

He held her tightly, unwilling to let go.

Actually, coming here tonight felt like a mystical force was guiding him, as if whenever he was in a bad mood, he would think of her.

Before, when she was at home, every time he came, there would always be a wall lamp left on in the living room, and seeing that lamp would fill his heart with warmth.

But this time, when he came and saw the room shrouded in darkness, his heart sank with a gulp, the sense of loss... was quite evident.

When he went to the kitchen and saw the freshly cooked porridge and the bowls and chopsticks on the table, he knew she hadn’t left, and his mood suddenly brightened.

Then later, he wanted to go out and look for her. Such a foolish idea, such a foolish thing, yet he wanted to do it!

Until finally, he saw her stepping out of another man’s car...

And now, she was in his arms!

Suddenly, a surge of impulse rose in Chu Mucheng’s heart.

This woman, he really didn’t want to let go so soon.

Thinking of this, his lips covered hers, the kiss becoming more intense, more domineering.

She could clearly feel his arousal.

Tao Zhixiang’s mind became clear, instinctively wanting to push him away, but the man before her was as steady as a mountain, unmoving, the searing kiss lingering and growing increasingly assertive.

Tao Zhixiang clung to the last bits of her sanity.

She made an effort to close her eyes, trying hard to retrieve her thoughts, preventing herself from completely succumbing to the allure of his masculine charm.

Damn masculine charm!

Damn... Chu Mucheng!

But Chu Mucheng had no intention of letting her go. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Haven’t seen me for so long, did you... miss me?"

He chuckled lowly, lifting her up, pressing her against the edge of the bathtub.

Tao Zhixiang’s resistance was in vain; she could only cling to him.

Yet, hearing him ask such a question left her somewhat speechless.

Did she miss him?

Of course... she did!

But when she thought of him, some unpleasant memories accompanied the thought, constantly reminding her of the distance between them.

So, when Chu Mucheng asked her this question, she bit her lip, unwilling to answer.

Her expression was so stubborn, yet proud.

"Did you miss me, hmm?"

Chu Mucheng asked again.

Actually, he was in a really good mood right now, and when in such a mood, he liked teasing her even more.

Seeing her frustrated and dejected look was a pleasure for him.

It really was a kind of... perverse pleasure!

Tao Zhixiang lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes masking a trace of loneliness in her eyes.

"No, I didn’t!"

Two words, crisp and decisive.

Only, Chu Mucheng took a deep breath, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"Ah, saying you didn’t miss me... you really are a little liar!"
