Chapter 174 - Chapter 177: Out of Control

"All right, got it."

Gu Ruochu was dressed in a bright red branded long dress. As the sea breeze blew, her entire body seemed to flutter in the wind.

She was yet to recover from her earlier excitement.

Her snow-white legs were exposed as the hem of her dress blew in the wind. Huo Nanchen could not take his eyes off her. He looked up and saw that she was wearing safety pants underneath.

His expression did not change, but his breathing became more chaotic. The joints of his hand which was holding the food turned white.

However, he did not know whether she was aware of the effect she was having on him. When she moved closer, he could see the softness in her chest.

He had felt very good when he had caressed her chest before.

Suddenly, he received a call that saved him from his wild fantasies. Gu Ruochu saw that Huo Nanchen had stood up, and she sat up slightly.

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes."

"There's no need."

...

Huo Nanchen hung up after a few simple words. Gu Ruochu was a little curious about the identity of the person who had called him. Was it a girl?

Huo Nanchen returned and continued to roast the food on the grill.

"If it's something important, we can head back."

"It's nothing, you can eat." Huo Nanchen did not move. He was as handsome and as cold as ever.

Gu Ruochu played with a lock of her long hair and suddenly asked, "Who called you?"

"An unimportant person."

Huo Nanchen's reply made Gu Ruochu think of the girl's voice she had heard on the phone during their call a while back.

"Forget it, I suddenly don't feel like eating at this barbecue. It's boring, I'm leaving."

Huo Nanchen hugged her when he saw that her interest was waning. "Then let's go eat breakfast nearby. You're still hungry."

"I'm not eating, I'm not in the mood."

"Be good, eat a little. I'll take you to eat whatever you want." He coaxed her nicely.

"Mmm, help yourself to some food."

Huo Nanchen noticed that there was something wrong with her tone. She had been very happy just a moment ago.

He held her shoulders and turned her around. He looked at her eyes carefully. "Why are you angry?"

"I'm not angry." Gu Ruochu realized that she was indeed very sensitive, especially after she had gradually fallen in love with Huo Nanchen.

"You're not angry? Your face has the word 'wronged' written all over it. Why are you saying that you're not angry, you little liar." Huo Nanchen pulled her into his arms and a warm breath spread across her neck. "Little liar, how should I punish you?"

Gu Ruochu felt his soft kisses land on the delicate skin at the back of her neck. She felt extremely numb as if she had lost all her strength.

"Let go of me, didn't you want to eat breakfast?"

"Why are you so sensitive?"

Gu Ruochu closed her eyes and stopped looking at him when she heard his half-smile tone.

He had been searching for the sensitive spot behind her ear.

"Can I kiss you here?"

"No!"

"What about here?"

"No..."

He reached out to stroke her long hair and deliberately teased her. His magnetic voice rang in her ear. "Be good, call me husband and I'll forgive you."

"..."

Gu Ruochu was in a trance when she heard him speak to her in a doting tone. She could almost savor the sweet taste of passionate love.

Gu Ruochu had called him "husband" in the cable car. However, she had done it unconsciously. It would be a little embarrassing for her to purposely call him that now.

"Huo..."

Huo Nanchen lowered his head and forcefully sealed her lips. The force of his pinching showed that he had lost control.

He had always been a man with a strong sense of control.
