Gu Moqian was lounging casually on the sofa, his fingers lazily picking up a pink novelty handcuff from the open box. His refined brows arched slightly: "Gifting me something , what were you thinking, hmm?"
Ji Wei covered her face, already so embarrassed she wished she could vanish into thin air.
Seeing her remain silent, the man suddenly stood up and walked closer to her. "Are you implying I’m not... strong enough in that area?"
"No, absolutely not!" Ji Wei peeked at him nervously through her fingers, her face burning red as she explained, "I just wanted to make amends... so I... I..."
"So you decided to reward me with a box of this stuff?"
"If you don’t need it, then just throw it away." Ji Wei dropped her hands from her face and sincerely suggested.
She regretted it terribly in her heart. If she had known Gu Moqian would forgive her so quickly, what was the point of going all out late at night to a novelty shop?
When she made the purchase, she had even told the male sales clerk that she was buying in bulk for business purposes.
But the sales clerk looked at the luxury Maybach parked outside and clearly didn’t believe her excuse.
To be able to afford a car worth tens of millions, why would anyone be peddling novelty items? Maybe... it was just a personal hobby?
"Throwing it away would be such a waste," the man drawled with a lazy, almost indifferent tone.
That drawn-out, casual tone carried an undercurrent of danger that made Ji Wei’s spine stiffen reflexively. The next second, there was a sharp *click*, and the pink handcuffs had already locked around her slender wrists.
Ji Wei’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the man, utterly dumbfounded.
Gu Moqian, holding the other end of the cuffs, tugged her straight into his arms. His low, seductive voice teased against her ear, "Tonight... you’re my prisoner."
Ji Wei’s mind exploded like fireworks, leaving her completely incapable of coherent thought.
By the time she regained her senses, she’d already been pushed onto the bed by the man.
"Mo Qian... what are you doing?" She asked, though she already knew, her heart pounding wildly.
"Giving myself the gift I truly want."
As he spoke, he moved with practiced ease, unbuttoning his shirt with one hand.
Ji Wei understood instantly. Propping herself up on her arms, she tried to get up. "You’re injured. Don’t do this."
Gu Moqian didn’t seem to care, the corners of his lips curving into a knowing smirk. "Why worry? If I don’t move, then you will."
Ji Wei was at a loss for words.
It took her a long while to nervously lick her lips and murmur, "But I’m still concerned about your wounds..."
Gu Moqian tugged on the end of the cuffs and flashed a grin as predatory as a tiger’s. "You’re not escaping from the palm of my hand tonight."
Ji Wei woke up and opened her eyes, only to find her entire body aching as if she had been run over by a truck.
As her awareness gradually returned, she recalled how she hadn’t gotten off him all night, finally understanding just how exhausting "riding" could be. And because she’d been trying so hard to avoid his injury, she had pushed herself to the limit until she’d collapsed from exhaustion...
Lying in bed for a while longer, Ji Wei finally dragged herself up reluctantly.
However, as soon as she lifted the blanket, the glaring sight of the pink handcuffs caught her attention, making her facial muscles twitch violently.
She really wanted to slap herself. Of all things, why the hell did she buy handcuffs?
There was no way she could go to work wearing these things!
It was already morning. Why hadn’t Gu Moqian come to unlock them for her yet?
Ji Wei climbed out of bed, struggling with her handcuffed wrists as she washed up and got dressed.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door. "Ma’am, are you up? Mr. Gu asked for you to come downstairs."
"Okay, I’ll be down right away." This content belongs to noveⅼfire.net
Ji Wei pulled on a long-sleeved knit sweater to hide the handcuffs under its sleeves before opening the door.
