"How about this?" He leaned down and bit her, unsatisfied, again and again. "Do you remember now?"
"Um..." At that moment, she had no capacity for thought and could only respond vaguely.
However, Qin Xian was clearly not satisfied with this answer. Suddenly, in a mischievous manner, he bit down hard on her swollen red lips that he had kissed.
"Hiss..." Shu Ran winced in pain, coming out of her daze.
He asked her again, stubborn and childish, "Do you like me?"
Shu Ran found herself at a loss for how to deal with him. In order to avoid wearing a mask when she went out later, she finally reached out and gently touched his serious face, pouting helplessly as she said, "I like you."
Smart as he was, he should understand the meaning behind her gesture and the truthfulness of her words.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Qin Xian's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up. "Say it again. What do you like?"
Shu Ran lightly poked his solid chest, which explained why it hurt so much when she bumped into him.
Feigning ease and ignoring her rapid heartbeat, she slowly repeated, "I like you."
She had already remembered; in the heavy darkness of the night, his deep and hoarse laughter echoed in her mind along with their ambiguous kiss and their bodies burning with heat.
Just thinking about it made Shu Ran's mouth dry and her whole body feel weak and numb as if all strength had been drained from her.
However, what followed was his overwhelming kisses—dense and relentless—intent on making her submit.
The entire beautiful morning was wasted like this. Again and again, he kissed her deeply, moving from her lips to her ears and then trailing down to her snowy white neck.
Like a hungry wolf capturing delicious prey, he couldn't bear to let go.
He was truly struggling, enveloped by desire, his lower body already as hard as iron. Yet he could only kiss her, unable to do anything else.
However, when she inadvertently moved her legs and accidentally touched a certain part of him.
In that instant, Qin Xian's kiss came to an abrupt halt.
Their lips and tongues suddenly separated, and Shu Ran, who had been shyly keeping her eyes tightly closed, slowly opened them in confusion.
She saw Qin Xian's throat bobbing up and down, his gaze growing darker, with a hint of desire swirling in his eyes.
In the next second, a pair of large hands grasped her shoulders, gently flipping her over, instantly changing their positions.
He was below, and she was above.
Her soft body pressed against his hard chest, their body temperatures intertwining, creating an intimate closeness.
Their eyes met; she was astonished, while he was filled with desire.
Before she could say anything, his hot hand quietly slipped around her snowy neck, slowly caressing her back through a thin layer of fabric.
Like fire, it ignited her bit by bit, urging her to kindle the flames of desire for him.
"No! Qin Xian, no!"
Shu Ran grabbed his hand, forcefully stopping his restless movements.
She shook her head, looking at him with determined eyes, resisting, "No!"
Even if she were naive and ignorant, she could not possibly misunderstand the meaning behind a man's gaze and these actions.
Qin Xian was consumed by desire, having lost all reason, with only one thought filling his mind: he wanted her.
The disparity in strength was evident; with a slight effort, he easily broke free from her grasp.
Regaining his composure, he continued to launch an attack on her.
Shu Ran helplessly bit her lip, watching him as he resumed his aggressive actions. Anxiously, she exclaimed, "I'm scared!"
His hand, which was about to slip into her sleeve, paused as he looked at her with indifference.
Seeing that his movements finally showed a moment of restraint, she hurriedly added, "You promised me you wouldn't bully me."
Her delicate face was tense, brows slightly furrowed, eyes filled with panic and fear, as if returning to the moment they first met.
She had worn the same expression then.
Qin Xian silently cursed himself for being unable to control himself again.
For so many years, there had been no woman by his side.
It wasn't that he didn't want one; at his age, how could he not desire companionship?
Only he knew how intense his desires were.
With his background and looks, it was impossible for women not to be drawn to him.
Yet strangely, he found none of them interesting.
Why was it that in front of her, he lost all reason and completely succumbed to her?
A glance from her, a movement, a smile.
Unknowingly, it all seemed to entice him into doing something uncontrollable.
But in the end, he stopped his actions, slowly retracting his hand, unwilling to frighten her.
Shu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in her emotions dissipating.
However, Qin Xian was not one to easily give up. "I can choose not to bully you," he said.
He touched her delicate and beautiful face, the face he had longed for, with a mischievous expression. Raising an eyebrow playfully, he said slowly, "You kiss me, and I'll let you go."
Qin Xian thought Shu Ran would hesitate for a long time before deciding whether to kiss him or not.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Shu Ran leaned in on her own accord, pressing her lips against his for a gentle kiss.
After the kiss, before he could react in any way, she used all her strength to break free from his embrace, curling up her arms to support herself as she quickly got up.
Then she hurriedly ran into the bathroom as if a fierce tiger or hungry wolf was chasing after her.
Qin Xian vaguely heard the sound of the bathroom door locking and lay on the bed feeling both amused and exasperated.
Her lingering scent still clung to him—fresh and sweet, flooding his senses with a penetrating sweetness.
He gently touched the corner of his lips where she had kissed him and smiled contentedly.
...
The two of them had been at it for over two hours, and by the time they went downstairs, it was already nine-thirty in the morning.
Fortunately, Shu Ran didn't have to work today; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sit at the dining table eating breakfast at this time.
Shu Ran had originally planned to change her clothes and sneak back home, but Qin Xian wouldn't allow her to do that. He insisted that she finish her breakfast before leaving.
Under his serious gaze, Shu Ran could only sit in front of him, focusing on her meal.
The person across from her, however, was leisurely enjoying his meal, occasionally flipping through a few pages of the financial newspaper on the table.
Standing beside the dining table was someone reporting work to him.
After the basic work report was finished, Chen Jin brought up another matter.
"By the way, regarding Young Master Qin's case, the other party has hired a lawyer."
"That lawyer is very aggressive and is firmly holding onto Young Master Qin's weaknesses, making this matter quite tricky."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xian coldly lifted his eyes from behind the newspaper and asked, "Which lawyer?"
"Xu Yanying from Eastern District Huazhong Law Firm," Chen Jin replied.
Just as Shu Ran was about to reach for the milk, she paused in mid-air upon hearing this.
