His kiss was so aggressive that it threatened to devour her whole, and Huo Weiwu had no choice but to bear it.
It made her feel so hot that beads of perspiration gathered on her forehead.
Three minutes later, he finally released her. She was breathless and panting. His strong hands were still gripping her arms and locking her in place.
His infinitely deep eyes locked on her cold ones, and he coolly commanded, "Keep this in mind: you are my woman."
That statement was delivered without a single shred of doubt or hesitation, and there was a warning in his tone.
He rose and walked toward the bathroom like a king.
Huo Weiwu frowned and sat down on the bed.
The sound of flowing water could be heard from the bathroom.
"Gu Haoting isn't really intending to do this while I'm bleeding, right?" Huo Weiwu wondered. "Right, why am I wearing a sanitary pad? Who put it on for me? Was it Gu Haoting?"
Just as Huo Weiwu's imagination was starting to run wild, a knock came from the door.
"Ting, are you there? Something's happened, Ting!" Cai Ya's voice was heard. She sounded frantic.
Huo Weiwu sighed.
"It really is one thing after another these days," she thought. "Once Cai Ya sees me here, I'm definitely going to have another fight on my hands."
"But for god's sake, I'm having cramps right now. I don't have the energy to do this with her."
Huo Weiwu crawled out of bed. She squatted and tilted her head. When she saw that the floor beneath the bed was rather clean, she crawled into the tight space under the bed to conceal herself.
Cai Ya's knocking grew increasingly urgent.
Gu Haoting opened the bathroom door. He swept his gaze across the bed, and his eyes hardened. He walked to the door and opened it calmly.
"Ting, we're in trouble. Mei Lin really attempted suicide this time, and she was sent to the hospital. She lost too much blood, so she's now in a coma now," said Cai Ya worriedly.
"Does that have anything to do with me?" Gu Haoting asked, unperturbed.
"General Mei only has one daughter, and if she dies, I'm sure he will pin it on you. Ting, what do you think we should do?" Cai Ya paced back and forth anxiously.
"If you don't want her to die, you should look for a doctor who can help her. There's no point in talking to me about it. On top of that, even if he blames her death on me, what can he do to me? Rather than worry about my affairs, why don't you take care of Jiaoxue instead? She's getting married to Wei Yanking next week, isn't she?" asked Gu Haoting nonchalantly.
"Yes, but I'm worried that General Mei will come after you," replied Cai Ya in a worried tone.
Gu Haoting's face was like granite. "You don't need to worry about me."
"Ting, why don't you just go and visit Mei Lin? When she recovers, you should marry her and become General Mei's son-in-law. He wouldn't blame you for her injuries at that point because you'd be family," suggested Cai Ya.
Gu Haoting looked out the door and commanded coldly, "Auntie Long, see the guest out."
"I got it, I got it, I'm leaving now," Cai Ya said tactfully as she turned around and left.
Gu Haoting kicked the door shut, then turned to glare at the empty bed with his hands curling into fists. He made a phone call and commanded, "Find Huo Weiwu in one day. Since she's so good at escaping, throw her back into the black pine forest. If you can't find her, you can go there yourself."
Huo Weiwu's felt a tremble in her heart.
"The black pine forest was terrifying," she thought. "I don't want to go there."
"Why are you so angry? I didn't run away," said Huo Weiwu as she crawled out from underneath the bed.
Gu Haoting was speechless.
As he watched her crawl out, he frowned and asked mockingly, "Are you a mouse? Were you digging a hole beneath the bed?"
Huo Weiwu heard the mockery in his tone and clapped her hands in scornful applause. "Isn't that what you men like to do? I was merely trying to avoid contact with an unknown entity!"
Gu Haoting snickered.
He approached her with slow and heavy steps. "Since you sound so sure about that, would I fail to live up to your high expectations if I didn't prove you right and start digging into a hole?"
