Let Me Go

"Let go of me! You better let go…" Shi Xiaonan struggled and stepped on his shoes during the fray.

Gong Ou frowned. Her soft, bare feet were of no threat to him but he was still provoked, causing his anger to grow exponentially.

"Since you like talking about the matters of that night so much then…" Gong Ou narrowed his eyes, pulled her in close, and spoke with a low growl, "Fine, Shi Xiaonian. Let's talk."

"..."

Shi Xiaonian froze in terror as their eyes met. She could feel the boiling anger within that was threatening to scorch her alive. The tightening grip on her arm distorted her facial expression.

"The events of a week ago weren't anything major. Isn't it just an inevitable natural occurrence that happens between a man and a woman, especially when they stay in the same room together?" Gong Ou pressed his lips against her ear, "You seemed to have enjoyed yourself quite a bit back then."

"Y-you shameless..."

Shi Xiaonian didn't expect to hear those words from his mouth at a time like this. Her struggle intensified by a notch.

Currently, she was only wearing a short-sleeved steaming suit. Its pure-white colour draping her pale-pink skin made her particularly charming. In addition, she wasn't wearing any underwear and due to the fierce struggle, her garment's neckline continuously loosened.

Gong Ou was, after all, a normal man; his throat tightened and his breaths grew roughened and irregular.

He was never a man to forcefully restrain himself so he pulled Shi Xiaonian into his embrace before carrying her up the steps, further into the resplendent bathroom hall. Objects blocking his path were all kicked aside.

In the hall, countless sprinklers scattered fountains of sparkling water. The air was fresh and white mist coiled about.

"What are you planning to do?"

Shi Xiaonian, who was constricted firmly into his chest by his strong arm, twisted and squirmed in a desperate attempt to free herself. She felt like a captured bunny being preyed upon by a hungry snake and was about to be eaten.

Bang~

Gong Ou pushed her roughly against the wall, causing his hand to accidentally brush by her chest.

The softness transmitted through his arm alone ignited the spark within him, triggering the outbreak of an uncontrollable wildfire that spread throughout his body. The woman in front of him seemed like the only antidote.

He gripped her shoulders and snarled sullenly, "I gave you a week to hand over the child but you kept going on blind dates instead. Since you are openly showing such contempt towards me, let me remind you of my prowess so you can understand how capable I truly am!"

Even as his words fell, his big palm slipped into her clothes, imprinting the outline of a hand over her left bre*st. Shi Xiaonian stifled a groan and began to struggle with renewed vigour.

This wasn't like before where she was weak, trapped and groggy in the hot luxurious room— she was fully awake and sober.

She was sober yet the ending was the same: she couldn't resist the man in front of her.

"No, let go, let go…" Shi Xiaonian pushed against him desperately and in a reckless manner, causing her shoulder to hit a knob that was fastened to the wall.

A sprinkler came to life, spitting a shower of water onto Gong Ou's head. His body got soaked and his hair stuck closely to his forehead, blocking parts of his vision. Water slid down the angular contours of his face, sketching an overly attractive sight.

Gong Ou subconsciously raised his hands in order to wipe his wet face. While he was distracted by this action, Shi Xiaonian took the opportunity to escape towards the door. Hearing her footsteps splashing against the wet floor, Gong Ou's hand sprung outward and grabbed her before she could get far. He pressed her against the wall again.

"Shi Xiaonian, why are you pretending to be a pure maiden in front of me? Weren't you the one to willingly climb into my bed three years ago?" Gong Ou's eyes glared daggers at her.

"What nonsense are you gibbering? I have never in my life met you before now. Let me go!"

Shi Xiaonian tried to kick him with her foot, but he only pressed harder against her chest.

She didn't know if the building heat in her body was due to anger or...due to the infectious spread of heat from the man pressing against her.
