From his line of vision, he could see straight up her dress.
Huo Weiwu noticed his gaze, but then he had the cheek to casually look away as if the sight was completely uninteresting to him.
In her frustration, Huo Weiwu sent a fierce kick toward him.
But Gu Haoting was a legend in the military world, and he was invincible when it came to ability, strategy, and skills.
He shifted back and avoided her attack.
Just when Huo Weiwu was about to send another kick his way, he grabbed her foot and twisted it outward.
Pain spiked up Huo Weiwu's leg so strongly that her body thrashed on the bed. Before she had time to swear at him, he sealed her lips with a kiss.
His kiss was strong and overbearing, and at the same time, it carried a tinge of wildness that made it feel something like a punishment. It seemed as though he wanted to burn his scent into her blood and bones.
Huo Weiwu resisted him like it was a matter of life and death, but her strength was insufficient to push him aside. Recalling the spot where all men were weak, she raised her knee and brought it toward his crotch.
Sensing what she was about to do, Gu Haoting pinned her down by sitting on her abdomen. There was a savage glint in his eyes.
Unable to summon enough strength in her legs, Huo Weiwu instead used her arm to reach for his crotch.
Unexpectedly, she managed to grab it.
His member felt like freshly forged steel—it was magnificent, and it gave off heat so intense that it felt like it was about to burn her palm.
Huo Weiwu hesitated for a second, and that was all it took for him to tear her hand away and pin it above her head. He looked like some magnificent jungle cat as he leaned over her.
"What are you trying to do!" he demanded harshly.
"Don't you know what I want to do?" retorted Huo Weiwu, her voice dripping with disdain.
"If not for your period, I would screw you until you couldn't get out of bed. We'd see who was the last person standing by the end of that!" Gu Haoting roared furiously.
Huo Weiwu glared at him defiantly. Her body was trembling in anger.
She knew that Gu Haoting wouldn't have agreed to the marriage so easily if he didn't have something else in mind.
He wanted to monitor her and torture her; he wanted to get back at her on his sister's behalf.
"Your sister was the one who stole my man and kidnapped me! You guys are the ones at fault!" Huo Weiwu exclaimed suddenly, her eyes reddening.
Gu Haoting grabbed her chin and asked sternly, "Who are you referring to as your man? Explain it to me!"
Huo Weiwu pursed her lips tightly, using the same force as she would have if she were hanging from the edge of a cliff.
Gu Haoting pursed his lips as his gaze grew cold. One of his large hands wandered along her waist as he said in a sinister tone, "Alternatively, if you want to start a fight when you're already bloody, that's fine too."
Huo Weiwu's eyes widened in shock. "You're an animal!"
Gu Haoting bent over and nipped at her lips. When he spoke, his voice was low and cruel. "If you continue to disobey me, I'll show you what it really means for me to be an animal, and worse than that! Tell me, who were you calling your man?"
Huo Weiwu's nose wrinkled as tears filled her eyes.
She had always assumed she would marry Wei Yankang.
Wei Yankang had appeared when she was at her loneliest and lowest. He stayed by her side through the most rebellious phase of her life, and he fulfilled his promise to accompany and take care of her.
For the sake of Wei Yankang, she ran away from her arranged marriage, angering her father greatly, and gave up on her own career. And after all that, Wei Yankang spent the last year of their seven-year relationship cheating on her with Gu Jiaoxue.
She no longer believed in love. In order to avoid a confrontation between her two older brothers and Gu Haoting, she had no choice but to propose marriage to Gu Haoting as a means of settlement.
However, if given a choice, she would never have chosen to have any dealings with Gu Haoting.
Huo Weiwu sniffled and tried her best to hold back her tears. She said in a clear voice, "My man is a hero, and he's capable of rescuing me whether I'm being drowned or burned alive. He can offer me warmth and reliance. He can make me feel less lonely, and he gives me no reason to ever doubt him. Wei Yankang has proven himself not to be that person, but are you?"
Gu Haoting bent over and kissed her lips aggressively…
