Chapter 148: Next Time, I’ll Be a Little Harder

Eat?

Jiang Mi’s gaze couldn’t help but drift down to the man’s crotch. Her eyelashes fluttered as she recalled her words from yesterday. She wanted to take them back. Not just eighteen… twenty at the very least!

That big!

How could she handle it?

Her heart pounded heavily in her chest, and she couldn’t bear to look any longer. With a swift motion, she pulled the blanket over her head, covering herself tightly.

Gu Chuan chuckled softly at the sight—his greedy little girlfriend.

But he didn’t tease her further. After dressing, he headed downstairs.

When the door clicked shut, Jiang Mi let out a long breath, but she couldn’t help thinking more about last night.

The whole time, she had felt dizzy, like she was floating on clouds, then plunging deep underwater, the line between pain and pleasure blurred. She couldn’t even tell if it was a dream or reality, clinging harder to the man’s shoulders.

It all ended in a blur. But what happened at the very end?

Jiang Mi poked her head out from under the blanket to take a breath of fresh air, and suddenly remembered. At the very end, she had collapsed from exhaustion and passed out.

Wait.

Jiang Mi froze as if struck by lightning. Although her current body wasn’t the same as the original warrior goddess she had once been, it had recovered about 70-80% of its strength.

But she had been rendered unconscious.

Could she really be that delicate?

So easily overwhelmed?

No, last night was just an accident. Definitely an accident.

As the empire’s number one warrior goddess, even in bed, she couldn’t allow Gu Chuan to dominate so easily. She had to take back control.

Filled with determination, Jiang Mi tried to move, but as soon as she did, a wave of soreness washed over her entire body. Her waist went limp, and she collapsed back onto the bed.

Jiang Mi: “…”

Since entering this new world, Jiang Mi had been working out regularly, significantly improving her physical strength.

After a lazy breakfast, her body had finally started to feel better.

At that moment, she received a message from Lu Yu, telling her that they were preparing to leave the island with the show crew and asking when Jiang Mi planned to head back.

Jiang Mi had already received a message from Zhang Lan the day before, informing her of a luxury perfume advertisement shoot in F Country. Since she had a few days off from the romance show, she would head directly to F Country from the island instead of returning to China with the crew.

However, as the hosts, both Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan accompanied the show’s team to see them off.

Jiang Mi wore a pure white long dress, with an elegant silk ribbon tied around her slender neck, giving her a relaxed and laid-back appearance.

Lu Yu ran over, smiling warmly but also looking a bit puzzled. “Mimi, why are you wearing a long dress today?”

Jiang Mi instinctively tugged at the scarf around her neck. “Why? Does it look bad?”

“Of course not,” Lu Yu shook her head. “You’re tall and slim, you look good in anything. I’m just surprised, since you don’t usually wear vacation-style long dresses. Plus, isn’t it hot today? Aren’t you uncomfortable in a long dress?”

Lu Yu asked the question innocently, but Jiang Mi felt self-conscious.

Her cheeks turned slightly pink, and she coughed lightly. “Little Yu, the flight’s about to take off. You should hurry and get on board.”

Lu Yu yelped, noticing everyone was already boarding. After saying goodbye to Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan, she rushed to the plane.

As the chattering Lu Yu disappeared into the plane, Jiang Mi grabbed Gu Chuan’s firm waist. “You’re still laughing? Who left all these marks on me?”

Even her inner thighs and the back of her ears—those intimate places—were covered in marks left by the man. She could only imagine the other spots…

Gu Chuan pulled her into his arms, his deep voice teasing, “Hmm, I’ll be gentler next time.”

Jiang Mi’s ears tingled with the sensation, and instinctively, she wanted to flee. But some strange sense of competitiveness flared within her, stopping her from retreating. “No. Next time, I’ll be the one who’s a little harder.”

That word “harder” carried a lot of meaning.

Gu Chuan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Oh? And how do you plan to do that?”

With just one night of practical experience, Jiang Mi had no idea what to do. She was only bluffing and hadn’t actually figured it out.

As she pondered what to say, she suddenly felt a cold, piercing gaze on her.

Jiang Mi turned and locked eyes with Shen Mingxuan, who was standing not far away, staring at her with a malicious, mocking look.

Gu Chuan noticed the direction of her gaze and glanced coldly in Shen Mingxuan’s direction.

Shen Mingxuan’s face was dark, his heart filled with anger and resentment.

Last night, he had waited for Gu Chuan on the beach the entire night, but Gu Chuan never showed up.

He had wanted to discuss the arranged marriage with Gu Chuan, but if Gu Chuan wasn’t going to cooperate, then Shen Mingxuan would be ruthless.

In the future, he would make sure that Gu Chuan begged him for mercy!

His thoughts were wild, but his mouth remained silent. All he could muster was a heavy snort before he turned and angrily boarded the plane.

However, after a whole night in the cold sea breeze, Shen Mingxuan’s body was weak. His steps faltered, and he stumbled embarrassingly on the boarding stairs.

Jiang Mi couldn’t be bothered to spare him another glance, commenting dryly, “After one night, he seems even weaker.”

Gu Chuan’s voice was cold, “He’s done.”

It wasn’t just a comment. It was a prediction of Shen Mingxuan’s tragic end.

Gu Chuan’s usual method would be a swift and brutal resolution, but somehow, Jiang Mi had the feeling that this time he wouldn’t be so straightforward.

Curious, she asked, “What are you planning to do?”

“I’ll handle it the way you like.” Gu Chuan answered bluntly.

Jiang Mi blinked in surprise. The way she liked?

That would be…
