Chapter 12: Fu Hanning Prefers the Proactive

Gu Yining bit her lower lip, her heart racing uncontrollably.

Even though there was no love between her and Fu Hanning, tonight was undeniably their first night together.

She was about to undergo a transformation from a girl into a woman, and to say she wasn't nervous would be a lie.

As Fu Hanning's tall figure drew closer, he effortlessly lifted her in his strong arms.

Instinctively, she tightened her grip around his neck, her gaze fixed on his chiseled jawline.

Every contour of his face seemed like a masterpiece sculpted by the hands of a divine artist—mesmerizing and striking.

As he drew near, a subtle fragrance of gardenia wafted into his senses.

It was coming from her.

"What perfume are you wearing?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Gardenia No. 1. If you like it, I can give you a bottle," she replied generously, offering a smile.

"Do I look like I'm lacking for fragrances? The Fu family brand has thousands of lines; one more bottle is meaningless," Fu Hanning scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain.

"But you can only smell the one I've made, right? Everything else is like water from a stinky ditch to you," she countered, her eyes sparkling with challenge.

"You win this round," he conceded, raising an eyebrow as he carried her effortlessly to the bed.

With a gentle motion, he laid her down on the soft European-style mattress.

Gu Yining tightly shut her eyes, bracing herself. "Come on, I'm ready. I have no special requests—just go easy on me."

Standing at the edge of the bed, Fu Hanning scrutinized her, a hint of a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Yet, after a prolonged pause, he made no further moves.

Startled, Gu Yining opened her eyes wide, sitting up on the bed and cautiously asking, "You're not…unable, are you? Should I give you a couple of acupuncture shots? I promise you'll last longer."

A strange impulse surged within Fu Hanning—he felt like twisting her head off and using it as a ball.

"Oh, I see now! You prefer someone who takes the initiative," Gu Yining declared, determined to bring their baby into the world sooner rather than later. She stood up on the bed, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Now at almost the same height, she leaned in for a kiss, their lips almost touching.

But just as she was about to make contact, his hand swiftly covered her mouth, and in the next moment, everything spun around her.

With an assertive motion, Fu Hanning pushed her back onto the bed, his tall figure looming closer, a wave of potent masculinity enveloping her.

Gu Yining blinked her clear eyes, captivated by his striking features.

She felt breathless—how could someone be so handsome?

She found it impossible to resist the allure of this striking man; after all, she was a natural beauty lover.

Her mischievous hands slid over his white shirt, exploring the fabric as he gazed at her, his deep-set eyes revealing no intention to stop her.

His strong chest was undeniably impressive.

Clearly, he had dedicated years to fitness, boasting perfectly sculpted muscles that were both striking and enviably fair.

As her delicate fingers brushed against his chest, a rush of warmth surged through her, igniting her senses and causing her face to flush.

Suddenly, he leaned closer to her ear, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. In a deep, husky voice, he asked, "You've never done this before?"

"Of course I have," Gu Yining shyly turned her face away, her ears burning with embarrassment.

His breath against her skin made her feel a tingle.

"You don't look like someone who has," he teased, his gaze unyielding.

"I'm just eager to have a baby! If you don't believe me, you can verify it personally," she shot back, arching an eyebrow, her beauty radiating beneath the fabric of the shirt.

Fu Hanning's Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed, an unexpected tightness gripping him.

Seizing the moment as his interest piqued, Gu Yining closed her eyes and cupped his face, leaning in to kiss him again, her heart pounding with anticipation.

This time, she would embrace the evening, ready to dive into the unknown depths of their newfound intimacy.
