She knew he was doing it on purpose, yet she could not retort, as the hand clutching his arm gripped tighter due to that need within her.
Qin Sijue certainly felt it, as his kisses slowly began to move downward.
She felt like she was going to lose her mind.
"Don’t..." She couldn’t stand his teasing .
"Are you sure you don’t want it? Hmm?"
She was so flustered that she started to speak incoherently!
It wasn’t that she didn’t want it, but she didn’t want his teasing, that kind of sensation, as if her body was on fire, and he was the cold antidote.
Yet, he just wouldn’t give it to her.
"Sijue, I’m begging you..."
"Is that enough..." His voice was husky, looking down at her as she bloomed beneath him like a fiery red rose, he asked in a low voice.
He met her needs, careful not to touch her wounds as much as possible.
After their lingering embrace, the night fell outside the window, and the pitch-black sky, obscured by the falling snow, didn’t reveal a single star, casting the mountainside in darkness.
In the bed, Gu Qiangwei seemed exhausted, sleeping very deeply, oblivious to when Qin Sijue left.
When she woke up again, it was already 8:50 p.m.
The vast bed was half empty.
Opening her heavy eyelids, she sat up, her gaze was hazy at first; she glanced out of the window, then turned back, gathered her thoughts, and then swung her legs out of bed.
The moment she moved, that familiar soreness spread through her body, piercing every bone, making her frown uncomfortably.
After a moment, she got down from the bed again, slipped into her slippers, and walked out of the room.
First standing in the upstairs corridor, looking down, she didn’t see Qin Sijue, so she turned and headed to the study, where he was not to be found either.
Hearing footsteps, Butler Qin, who was still preparing in the kitchen, came out.
Since she hadn’t eaten dinner and wasn’t sure when she would wake up, Butler Qin had reheated the meal several times to ensure that Gu Qiangwei could have dinner whenever she got up.
"Young Madam, you’re up."
Seeing Butler Qin, Gu Qiangwei asked, "Where is Qin Sijue?"
"The Young Master went out when it got dark, and he hasn’t returned yet."
Upon hearing what Butler Qin said, Gu Qiangwei then remembered that he did say he had an engagement tonight.
"Young Madam, you must be hungry, right? Dinner is ready."
Looking at her, Butler Qin added another sentence.
Gu Qiangwei was indeed hungry, so she glanced at Butler Qin and nodded.
Then she stepped forward, heading towards the dining room.
Dinner alone wasn’t very appetizing. After a few bites, Gu Qiangwei put down her utensils, went upstairs, took a bath, and felt a bit more refreshed. Yet, the bath had also washed away her drowsiness.
Checking the time, it was 9:45 p.m. Lying in bed, she felt not a trace of sleepiness, on the contrary, her mind was even more alert.
Qin Sijue rarely stayed out so late.
Taking out her phone, she thought of calling him out of boredom, but then she hesitated, wondering if it might disturb him if he was in the middle of entertaining.
Upon reconsidering, she dismissed the idea.
After spacing out for a while, she felt that time was especially dragging tonight.
Taking out her phone again and staring at the screen for a while, she decided to compose a text message and sent it to Qin Sijue.
"Are you done with your business?"
She didn’t think Qin Sijue would reply, and just as she was about to lie down, her phone unexpectedly rang.
