The flashlight’s beam faded, and the footsteps gradually receded. In the deep alley, the man and woman remained closely entwined, their ambiguous silhouettes outlined in the dim light.
Only after confirming no one was approaching from behind, and they were temporarily safe, Ji Wei finally exhaled as if relieved, "Mo Qian, they’ve left..."
The man showed no intention of letting go.
Ji Wei tried to move away from the man, yet Gu Moqian’s eyes burned hotly in the dark, and she felt his hand around her waist tighten further, pinching hard as if in punishment.
Ji Wei only managed a short scream before the man’s thin lips silenced her voice in her throat.
To convincingly deceive the men in black earlier, her upper body was disheveled, and his shirt had several buttons ripped off in the previous rush.
With them pressed so closely together, their skin touching, it was so hot it made her tremble all over.
A tingling sensation spread downward under the man’s fervent kisses...
Gu Moqian bit and kissed the woman all the way down her fair neck, stopping at her enticing collarbone...
"Mo Qian, no, not here..."
Gu Moqian nibbled on her earlobe and continued to hold her tightly, speaking in a deep and dangerous voice, "Feeling brave now, huh? Daring to sneak into the underground fight alone. Do you even know what kind of place that is? And you, a girl, aren’t you afraid?"
Indeed, the underground fight arenas were almost all filled with men, people from all kinds of unsavory circles. Gambling itself was risky, and many carried guns to prevent conflict.
Ji Wei wasn’t unafraid, but to find Gu Moqian, she couldn’t care about anything else.
"The risk was worth it, wasn’t it? I found you." Ji Wei’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes slightly dazed as she panted.
Gu Moqian had initially been angry at her recklessness, but seeing the little woman so alluring against him, his anger quickly dissipated.
Yet, to teach her a lesson, he released her with a cold expression, maintaining some distance between them.
Seeing the man suddenly turn cold, as she put on her clothes, Ji Wei was startled, hurriedly dressed and caught up with him. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ nοvelfire.net
The man walked quickly, his figure casting a long shadow under the dim streetlight.
Ji Wei, whose foot had been stepped on earlier, stumbled as she struggled to catch up.
The man finally stopped in front of an old apartment building, took out a key, and unlocked the door.
"Mo Qian, don’t be mad," Ji Wei mumbled with a pout as she stood behind him, tugging on the hem of his shirt.
Gu Moqian withdrew his hand, turned back to glance at her, his facial lines taut.
Ji Wei’s heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, he really is angry.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Gu Moqian beat her to it, "If you don’t come in, I’ll close the door."
Ji Wei hurriedly stepped inside.
Gu Moqian bolted the door behind her, then walked straight to the sofa, sitting down and leaning back with a lazy yet stern gaze at the woman in front of him.
Seeing his interrogative posture, Ji Wei subconsciously clenched her hands.
The woman’s eyes, strikingly black and white, were beautiful, though the heavy makeup made her look like a soot-streaked kitten, which was quite cute.
Gu Moqian nearly lost his composure, but he cleared his throat, his voice calm and steady, "Nothing you want to say to me?"
