The man's sudden move made Xu Weilai scream in surprise. Her black eyes widened and said, "You..."
She only managed to utter one word before the handsome face of the man loomed large in front of her eyes. Then, the man's lips landed on hers.
The rest of Xu Weilai's words got stuck in her throat. The depth of her eyes was brimming with astonishment, and she appeared a little stunned.
She had no choice but to accept the kiss. It felt as though only a second had passed, but all the same, it felt more like a century. The man only released her when she thought that she was going to suffocate from lack of oxygen. His breathing was slightly uneven, and the flame in his eyes seemed to have the energy to devour everything.
Gu Yu gently rubbed Xu Weilai's swollen lips with the tips of his fingers. He opened his mouth; his voice was low and hoarse. And it was enchanting and mesmerizing. He emphasized every word, as he said to her, "This is my token of gratitude."
