Chapter 484: The origin of the name

Even though Gu Ruochu had clashed several times with Zhang Yuan, she did not harbor any hatred towards Ning Tang.

After discovering that they were her parents, Gu Ruochu felt a little depressed.

Huo Nanchen had settled her dispute with Zhang Yuan.

However, Gu Ruochu did not know if her relationship with her biological mother could be salvaged.

Huo Nanchen looked at Gu Ruochu's fleeting gaze and held her hand gently. He then lifted her hand and placed her on his knee.

"Are you trying to figure out how to face them?"

"Yes."

Gu Ruochu awkwardly pushed his hand away. She wanted to return to her seat, but he would not let her. Fortunately, there was no one around to see them. She leaned against his chest and thought about her predicament.

"If you don't want to see them, you don't have to. You don't need them anyway. You're already the most beautiful woman in my family. They want to snatch you away and make you their treasure. I won't allow it."

Huo Nanchen gently stroked Gu Ruochu's long hair and comforted her.

"Don't flatter me!"

"I'm not flattering you, so don't be sad. "

Gu Ruochu could no longer hold back her laughter when she heard his teasing tone. She buried her face into his shoulder.

Huo Nanchen also laughed when he saw her reaction.

Gu Ruochu slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. Just as she leaned her head down, Huo Nanchen suddenly kissed her. Gu Ruochu tightened her grip on his neck.

"Ah..."

Huo Nanchen passionately kissed her, and his intensity took Gu Ruochu by surprise. Her breathing became more chaotic, and she felt as if she was about to lose her sanity.

Gu Ruochu's desire for his kisses grew stronger.

Huo Nanchen did not relent, and his passion was unbridled. Gu Ruochu finally felt that something was wrong. Her hand grabbed his short hair, but it kept on slipping away.

"Huo Nanchen, get up!"

Huo Nanchen disobeyed her and continued to kiss her collarbone and her neck.

"Huo Nanchen!"

He pressed her down, and she did not have the strength to resist him.

Huo Nanchen carried her in his arms and said, "Let's go upstairs."

Gu Ruochu looked around and was relieved to see that there was no one around.

When they reached the bedroom, Huo Nanchen placed her gently on the bed and looked at her small white feet. He shifted his gaze away from her feet and pressed his body against her.

With a seductive look on his face, Huo Nanchen whispered, "Why are you that sensitive? Look at how shaky you are.

"Don't be anxious. I'll be gentle."

"..."

When Gu Ruochu returned to her senses, Huo Nanchen was hugging her tightly. A bright light lit up the room with a dreamy glow. In her daze, she felt as if that moment would last forever.

"Get up. It's almost time for you to get back to work," Gu Ruochu said as she glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed. It was already two in the afternoon.

"Madam Huo, have you ever seen me go back to work at two o'clock?"

"Don't you have some matters to attend to?"

Huo Nanchen looked at her with his pitch-black eyes and unbuttoned the sleeves of his shirt.

"What's this?" Gu Ruochu looked at the golden bracelet on his hand and remembered that she had seen it before. It was Zhou Yunxi's golden bracelet.

"This is yours. Keep it well."

"Mine?"

Huo Nanchen saw her puzzled look and bent down to stroke her head. "This is the golden bracelet that Zhang Yuan put on your wrist when she had carried you to Gu Bo. The line of poetry engraved on it is the origin of your name."
