Volume One, Chapter 31: Someone Is Outside—Hide Yourself First

Qiao Nian'an was completely subdued by him.

She couldn't break free at all. Even moving was a struggle. It felt as though he were welding her to the wall, leaving her drenched in sweat. This man truly knew exactly how to break her down, step by step. He whispered against her ear without pulling his body away from hers. It was truly a testament to the old saying: Fu Yunzhen, that high-mountain flower, was lethal to whoever dared to pluck him.

Wrapped tightly in his arms, standing against the wall for so long, Qiao Nian'an began to reach her limit. She could barely catch her breath. "Fu Yunzhen, let me go. You're making me feel so uncomfortable..."

Fu Yunzhen loosened his grip slightly but had no intention of letting her go. She tilted her head back, and his handsome face, inches from her own, left her feeling dazed. Her lips brushed against his thin ones, their breaths tangling together.

"Baby, tell your husband, let me help you..."

Qiao Nian'an’s entire body stiffened. Had this man become this shameless? In public, he was the cold, untouchable, stoic bureaucrat. In private, he was nothing but a beast! Just how hungry was he? Hungry enough to resort to seducing her?

"Stop acting like a hooligan and let me go!" Qiao Nian'an struggled in a desperate, final attempt.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yunzhen kissed her lips and asked in a husky voice, "What were you and Fu Jingchuan talking about that made him shout so loudly?"

Qiao Nian'an tried to push him away, but he only kissed her deeper. "If you want to know why he was shouting, go ask him yourself. Why are you asking me?"

Fu Yunzhen gripped her restless waist firmly. "Don't move around. If you stir up a fire, you’ll be the one responsible for putting it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her obediently settle into his arms, ceasing all movement. He was so amused by her reaction that he let out a short, frustrated laugh.

"Before, when I told you not to move, you insisted on it, constantly challenging my limits. Now that I want you to move, why aren't you moving?" His mind was filled with memories of her past assertiveness. She would always ignite his desire and then leave him to deal with the aftermath, forcing him to cling to her to extinguish the flames.

Qiao Nian'an said, "If that's all you have to say, then hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my sleep."

"Niannian, let me into your room. I know you feel something special for me. Look, you didn't let Fu Jingchuan in, which proves that I am a very special existence to you." Fu Yunzhen’s voice was muffled, yet carried a hint of imperceptible joy. "You say you're going to sleep—can I take that as an invitation for me to sleep with you?"

Qiao Nian'an took a deep breath. "I think you’re seriously ill! You’re young, not eighty years old, so why are you hard of hearing? Can’t you understand what I’m saying?"

"I told you to get out."

Were all the people in the Fu family crazy? Every one of them was so fanatical... Right now, the Fu family assumed she was Fu Jingchuan’s fiancée. If they found out that Fu Yunzhen was her ex-boyfriend and that he was currently in her room trying to seduce her, there was no telling what kind of storm it would stir up within the family.

If this man stayed any longer and continued to seduce her, she couldn't guarantee her own self-control. He was her first, and she had given him her innocence; they were perfectly matched, and with every encounter, that compatibility only grew. Between them, there were no limits.

"Baby Niannian, if I leave, will you be able to sleep?" Fu Yunzhen asked with a wicked charm.

Qiao Nian'an: "..."

It was maddening! Six years later, she still had a physical reaction to him... With shoulders that broad, a narrow waist, a height of one-ninety, and such a handsome, refined face—he was overflowing with sexual tension. Which woman could resist that?

She was being broken down by him, bit by bit. Just as Qiao Nian'an resigned herself to being at his mercy, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.

Terrified, Qiao Nian'an went rigid. She glared at him fiercely, trying to force him to stop. She signaled with her eyes that someone was out there and he shouldn't move. But Fu Yunzhen didn't care about any of that. He continued to kiss her. He knew her defenses had already been mostly dismantled by him. Who was this person, so oblivious as to come and disturb him now?

*Knock, knock...*

A knock came from the next room. "Brother Yunzhen, are you asleep? It’s Yunzhu. I’m late..." It was a high-pitched, affected voice.

Fu Yunzhen ignored it entirely. When Qiao Nian'an heard a woman looking for him, her expression fell, and she angrily pushed at him. So, his fiancée had arrived.

Fu Yunzhen looked at her pouting face and found it incredibly cute. He knew it—she still cared about him. If she didn't, why would she be jealous? Why would she be angry? It simply meant she still loved him.

*Knock, knock...*

Qiao Nian'an's door was also knocked upon. "An'an, it's Grandpa. I hope I’m not disturbing your rest? I wanted to talk to you about something; I was afraid I’d forget by tomorrow."

Qiao Nian'an hadn't expected that after Fu Jingchuan visited her, Luo Yunzhu would seek out Fu Yunzhen, and now it was Grandfather Fu’s turn to look for her.

Fu Yunzhen was right there in her room, and the two of them were still pressed tightly together. If the door were opened and this scene were revealed, wouldn't it be a classic case of being caught in the act? Such a thrilling scenario reminded Qiao Nian'an of when they first started dating, when they would sneak around just like this, as if they were having an affair.

Fu Yunzhen clearly sensed her tension. He hugged her lightly and whispered, "I'm here. Don't be nervous."

Qiao Nian'an was so frustrated she was on the verge of tears. "It’s precisely because you’re here that I’m nervous and guilty! Hurry up and find somewhere to hide!"

Qiao Nian'an's words made Fu Yunzhen pause, his mind instantly flashing back to their college days. Whenever they were getting intimate at home and a classmate would suddenly drop by, she would make him hide to keep their relationship a secret. He had hidden in closets, under beds, in bathrooms... he had hidden everywhere.

He didn't want a single day of this "secret affair" life. But she loved it, and he had no choice but to indulge her.

The knocking came again from outside. "An'an, are you asleep? Grandpa has something very important to discuss with you."

Qiao Nian'an's heart was pounding in her throat. Seeing that he remained unmoved and had no intention of giving up the chance to kiss her, she had no other choice. She responded to his passionate kiss, tangling with him for a long moment. Then, looking at him with watery, pleading eyes, she whispered:

"Go hide first."
