Huo Sicheng’s slanted eyes blazed with passion, his hand confidently resting on Gu Qingcheng’s back.

As Huo Sicheng’s large hand found its place on Gu Qingcheng’s back, a shiver ran down her spine, and her hand trembled involuntarily.

“You… Don’t make any impulsive moves…” Her heart raced like a startled deer, her voice quivering as nervousness gripped her. “Otherwise… Otherwise…” “Or what?”

“Do you see the cup in my hand?” Gu Qingcheng’s warning to Huo Sicheng was laced with determination. “If you try anything else, I won’t hesitate to splash water on your face.”

“You’ve given me a thought.” Huo Sicheng swiftly took the cup from Gu Qingcheng’s hand and casually tossed it away. He drew her in and brought her close.

Before Gu Qingcheng could react, she found herself lying on top of Huo Sicheng, their proximity making her acutely aware of his presence.

Their closeness was almost suffocating, and the fragrance emanating from her body was tantalizingly captivating.

That scent held a spellbinding quality, shattering his years of restraint and self-control. His heart fluttered, and he could no longer suppress his feelings. With his head lowering, his lips met hers, his voice husky and low. “I suddenly have a different thirst—one that’s not for water, but for you.” Boom!

Gu Qingcheng’s mind went blank, the shock evident on her face.

Huo Sicheng’s dominant aura enveloped her entirely, leaving her weak and powerless. She felt as though she were a stream of water, helplessly flowing beneath his overwhelming presence.

Seduction.

His allure left her utterly bewildered.

Huo Sicheng’s long legs shifted, and he gently parted Gu Qingcheng’s legs. His hand ventured under her shirt, and she tensed at his touch. His low voice instructed, “Relax.”

Gu Qingcheng was aware of Huo Sicheng’s seductive nature, but she hadn’t anticipated just how potent it could be.

His voice seemed to hold an enchantment, coaxing her into submission.

His touch left a trail of warmth wherever it grazed, igniting a fiery sensation throughout her body.

Just as Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng were about to take their connection further, a knock on the door disrupted the charged atmosphere.

“Madam.” Chu Yu’s voice echoed from beyond the door. “I’ve brought the

person.”

Wide-eyed, Gu Qingcheng snapped back to reality as if waking from a dream. Summoning all her strength, she pushed Huo Sicheng away.

“You…” She scrambled off the bed onto all fours. Her disheveled state fueled her embarrassment and frustration. “Huo Sicheng, you…” She stammered in anger, her words failing her. With reddened cheeks, she turned and hurried out of the room.

At that moment, Huo Sicheng’s brows furrowed, a chill coursing down his spine. He was visibly displeased by Chu Yu’s interruption.

Outside the door, Chu Yu deciphered Gu Qingcheng’s expression and deduced the situation.

He hastily pointed to the adjacent room. “Madam, she’s in this room.”

With that, he swiftly made his exit. Interrupting President Huo’s plans was a dangerous game, and Chu Yu knew better than to linger.

Frustrated and indignant, Gu Qingcheng stomped her foot as she glimpsed Chu Yu’s expression. She tidied her appearance, regained her composure, and entered the adjoining room.

Inside sat Li Jing’s nephew, Li Minglang. Clad in casual attire, his eyes held a mix of surprise and caution upon seeing Gu Qingcheng.

“Principal Gu.”

While the fiery memory of Huo Sicheng lingered, Gu Qingcheng managed to suppress her emotions. Approaching the table, she downed a glass of water, her inner turmoil untouched.

With a sigh, she gestured for Li Minglang to take a seat. “Call me Qingcheng. No need for formalities, Principal Gu.”

Li Minglang’s unease was palpable as he settled into the chair. He handed the

USB drive to Gu Qingcheng. “This contains the surveillance footage.”

Accepting the USB drive, Gu Qingcheng produced a card and placed it on the table. She slid it toward Li Minglang, gratitude in her voice. “Thank you for your help. If you ever encounter difficulties, feel free to seek my assistance.”

Unsure, Li Minglang hesitated before pushing the card back. “I can’t accept this, really. Your generosity is overwhelming. If you need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do what I can.”

“Everything in this world comes with a price tag,” Gu Qingcheng chuckled lightly, nudging the card back to him. “Please don’t feel obligated. I wouldn’t be at ease if you didn’t accept it.”

Li Minglang understood her unspoken message. A price tag could prevent future complications. After a brief pause, he accepted the card with both hands.

“Then, I won’t stand on ceremony. I appreciate it.”

“It’s well-deserved.” Gu Qingcheng smiled, pouring a glass of water for Li

Minglang. “Did anyone discover your involvement in what I asked you to do?”

Li Minglang responded, “I handled everything myself. No one else was aware, not even my wife.”

Satisfied, Gu Qingcheng nodded. “It’s best that only you know.”

“I have a question,” Li Minglang ventured, his curiosity evident. “Did you have prior knowledge of the Peach Lotus Cup incident?”

Gu Qingcheng shook her head, disavowing any prior knowledge. Her past life was a secret she hadn’t shared with Huo Sicheng, let alone Li Minglang.

She replied, “How could I have predicted an accident at the Peach Lotus Cup? If I could foresee the future, I wouldn’t have let my students participate. I wouldn’t have gone myself.”

She continued, “People value their lives nowadays. I value mine too, so I wouldn’t recklessly plunge into danger if I knew disaster was imminent.” Li Minglang nodded in agreement.

“Forgive my curiosity. I found it intriguing that you asked me to set up that specific surveillance route ahead of time, and then the Peach Lotus Cup saw a major incident.”

Fearing Gu Qingcheng’s anger, he quickly added, “Please understand, I’m not prying into your affairs. I handled everything on my own. Not even my aunt, Li Jing, knows the details. All the evidence is on this USB drive; I haven’t made any other copies. You hold the only one.”

“Understood,” Gu Qingcheng thanked him sincerely. “I appreciate this.”

After a casual conversation, Gu Qingcheng suggested that Li Minglang head home early.

With his departure, Gu Qingcheng felt the urge to review the USB drive’s contents. She recalled that Huo Sicheng had a laptop in his room, but the memory of their recent encounter left her conflicted.

She remained in her thoughts before finally seeking out Chu Yu.

Upon opening the door, she was startled to find Huo Sicheng in her path. Hurriedly, she tried to shut the door, but Huo Sicheng’s wheelchair prevented her.

In one fluid motion, he pulled her into an embrace, her struggles muted by his firm hold.

Gu Qingcheng’s body tensed as she fought against his grasp, yielding only when she remembered his injuries.

“What are you doing?”

Huo Sicheng locked eyes with Gu Qingcheng, his gaze intense. “And what about you?”

“Doing what?” Gu Qingcheng’s voice rose. “Tell me, which of your eyes saw me doing something?”

Huo Sicheng’s narrowed gaze held a knowing glint. “So, you didn’t run away. Then why did you close the door?”

“I…” Gu Qingcheng faltered, her anger momentarily surpassing her surprise. “I can close the door if I want. It’s none of your business.”

Huo Sicheng wheeled her out of the room, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. “Actually, it is my business.”

As Huo Sicheng pushed her along, Gu Qingcheng’s thoughts raced. The friction between them was undeniable, their connection undeniable.

Blocking her exit, Huo Sicheng’s determined expression dared her to contradict him. He held a wordless promise of something unspoken, inviting her to explore it.

As the moment hung heavy between them, Gu Qingcheng nervously questioned, “Where are you taking me?”
