In the narrow space, Huo Nanchen pressed Gu Ruochu down so hard that she could not move. He kissed her, and she had nowhere to hide. She had just opened her mouth when he fiercely made his move.
"Are you sure you want to do this to me?"
"What do you think I'm going to do to you? Hmm?" He finally let go of her. He took off his tie and went around the car to get into the driver's seat.
The car was completely silent. They did not speak to each other again.
In less than half an hour, the car had arrived at the Huo family's door.
Gu Ruochu calmed her breathing and ran upstairs without another word. She closed the door behind her. She felt that both of them needed some space. In her panic, she heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.
Huo Nanchen pushed the door open and stood there with his arms by his side. He could not hide his anger.
Gu Ruochu took a step back and was about to change directions when he grabbed her.
"It seems that you have not realized your mistake."
Her world spun around as Huo Nanchen picked her up and carried her on his shoulders. Gu Ruochu did not struggle, but instead, waited for his anger to subside.
Huo Nanchen slammed the door shut and threw Gu Ruochu onto the bed.
Under the bright and blinding light, she saw him take his shirt off and even heard the sound of metal clinking as he removed his belt. Her entire body tensed up.
"Huo Nanchen, you're a married man."
Hearing her words, his eyes darkened, and the anger in his heart surged again. He jumped on the bed and kissed her passionately.
His destructive strength and anger tore at Gu Ruochu's heart. He forcefully interlocked their fingers and hugged her. His emotions were intense.
Gu Ruochu had been in a state of dilemma and sadness for the past half month. She was afraid that she would never escape from this relationship. If he were to reveal even the slightest bit of his sincerity, she would be utterly defeated.
Would she have the courage to walk away?
Her greatest fear was to fall in love with someone who did not love her. Falling in love with the wrong person was equivalent to eternal damnation.
"So you're saying that you're not willing now?"
After much difficulty, he finally let go of her. Gu Ruochu tugged at the bedsheet beneath her and said with a calm expression, "I think we should calm down."
"I'm f*cking calm."
He closed in, and a hint of pain appeared in his eyes, which were burning furiously. "Ruochu, are you sure you want to provoke me? Tell me, why did Jin Ye call you by your name? What is your relationship with him?"
"I don't know."
"Ruochu, I don't want a perfunctory answer!"
Huo Nanchen was paranoid and full of anger. He was willing to cripple Jin Ye so that she would wholeheartedly stay by his side.
"If you don't believe me, what else can I say?" Gu Ruochu was at a loss for words. He had already misunderstood her.
Gu Ruochu closed her eyes. She no longer cared about his reaction.
He could do whatever pleased him.
The room suddenly fell silent. Gu Ruochu buried her face in the blanket without a word. She did not want to talk to him anymore.
'She's ignoring me?' Huo Nanchen's eyes darkened, and the veins on his hands bulged.
At the same time, his heart ached. He felt powerless and confused.
Huo Nanchen lay beside her with his hands around her waist and pressed her against his body. He felt her move uncomfortably.
"You want me to believe you, but you can't even show me any sincerity."
"Then what do you want? I've already told you that I don't know why Jin Ye would call my name. There's nothing between me and Jin Ye."
Huo Nanchen did not speak. He relaxed his expression after hearing her explanation.
"Sorry."
