Dream

Wu Jinyan gazed at the reflection of her face in the bathroom mirror before looking down at her naked body which resembled a galaxy of red stars.

Her face flushed red as she recollected how she persistently nodded her head despite his continuous warnings saying she could get hurt.

Nevertheless, she was ecstatic and contented. She knew there was no road called 'happiness without Pain' 

He's her husband. She had to satisfy him to be his dutiful wife. She wanted to live a peaceful married life with no complaints or complications.

Taking support from the walls, she entered the shower. With the gush of hot water flowing down her fair body, she felt her mind relax and recalled something.

"You idiot" She cursed herself for being a fool. Though she donated little blood...Though she got drugged only a little bit... she overestimated her body. She foolishly thought Gu Zichen was forcing himself when he was still recovering from his injury but in the end, it was her to lose consciousness midway. She was scared Gu Zichen would think of her for being weak.

She chuckled when she thought about how she escaped from that Young master Han and ended up on Gu Zichen's bed. A lot happened in a single day, she still had to wrap her head around everything.

She sighed as she stood under the shower to calm her heart. It wasn't her place to question the gods playing with her fate. She could only go with the flow.

She gave her first time to Gu Zichen just like that, that man who could shake the city with a finger snap.

She suddenly fell into a state of disbelief and rushed out of the bathroom to confirm once again. 

"No way....how can it be like this?!!" Wu Jinyan exclaimed. Everything in the room was clean and crisp.

Was it all a dream?

She clearly remembered everything. It all started in this room and right on this bed.

"WU JINYAN" a growl halted her from thinking further. 

What's wrong with her? She was suddenly feeling cold.

Wu Jinyan turned around and saw Gu Zichen dressed in his work attire. He was seated behind the coffee table in the room's corner and seemed to be reading the newspaper. She gazed at his throat as he gulped hard and then into his deep eyes that were staring back at her.

He appeared like a hungry wolf gazing at his prey. He spoke enunciating each word with a devilish smirk on his face "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Wu Jinyan "...."

She looked down to spot her naked body which was like a field of red spots and dew drops. 

Shit!! She immediately ran back into the bathroom.

...

Wu Jinyan walked down after drying her hair and getting dressed in an outfit with only her small face exposed. She saw him calmly sipping on some coffee in a sophisticated manner at the dining table as if nothing ever happened.

Gu Zichen noticed her walking towards the table but did not say anything. Both of them were served a simple breakfast and when they were done with it and with no one around them, Gu Zichen finally looked at her and asked "What happened?"

Wu Jinyan's heart pounded heavily with his sudden question. She knew what he was asking about.

"I thought what we did was all a dream..."

Seeing her dull eyes and slim figure trembling like a scared little lamb, Gu Zichen was amused and couldn't help but chuckle.

He didn't know it was her first time until he heard her pained scream. He knew he hurt her but under the waves of desire burning in him, he gave her pleasure until she lost her consciousness. How could she even think of it as a dream?

Wu Jinyan's ears turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment while screaming inside her head. 'Shit, Wu Jinyan. You completely lost your wits'

"I have some matters to settle outside the city and may not come home tonight. Don't wait for me" Gu ZIchen said before he walked away.

Wu Jinyan walked out and watched as the car left the villa's compound. She did not know the reason but her heart felt empty seeing him leave. She found it weird but soon ignored it thinking she was just not in a good condition with what she went through yesterday. 

She decided to call her friend Zhang Xiaoyuan and describe her unexpected adventure of getting married but soon remembered the text message she received a while ago. Her friend was out of the country for a medical conference. 

Shit..! There's none to listen to her. She cursed in her head.

She wanted to go to her company but was afraid of Lin Ran, so she dropped her idea and could only walk around the villa in boredom.

In the afternoon, she wanted to call and ask Gu Zichen if he had his lunch but dropped the idea as she did not want to disturb his work.

She struggled to sleep at night. Perhaps, it was because she was a newly wed wife and being in honeymoon phase, she missed Gu Zichen a lot even when she met him only a few days ago.

Thinking she could see him the next morning, she coaxed herself to sleep.

The next morning, she checked the whole house only to see the maids running around while cleaning. She was sick of waiting. Her mood was better only when she received a call in the afternoon from an unknown number.

She picked up the call and heard a humble voice "Madam.. I'm President Gu's assistant, Chen Fei. He asked you to bring a few items which I've already texted you. I'm worried you have to make a trip to the Gu corporation"

'Huh..? Gu Zichen's back. Then why didn't he come back home?' Wu Jinyan felt a little sad but still maintained her composure. 

"Hmm...it's okay. I'll come right away" She ended the call.

At the thought of seeing Gu Zichen, her body was no longer sick and she unknowingly hopped up the stairs like a happy bunny running towards carrot fields. 

She was always worried about her selection of clothes for men. However, when she entered the walk-in closet, she heaved in relief as she was in a world of clothing that was entirely in shades of grey and black.

Wu Jinyan picked some random clothes and other stuff her husband needed. As she walked out of the closet, she remembered something.

Like all others, she also saw only Chen Fei on financial news. She only heard but never saw the actual boss, Gu Zichen. Since Chen Fei was Gu Zichen's most trusted person, she wasn't worried about him knowing her identity.

But what if someone else at the company recognised her?
