Chapter 118: A Slight Buzz

“Mr. Gu Chuan, are you satisfied?” Jiang Mi asked softly as she took long strides toward Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan’s gaze fell on her stunningly beautiful face, his Adam’s apple moving as he gave a quiet “Mm.”

Jiang Mi stepped closer, almost pressing against him. “So, are you satisfied with the dress or the person wearing it?”

The small black mole at the corner of her eye seemed to sway with the sea breeze, adding to her allure, making her seem like an enchanting figure from the night.

Gu Chuan’s dark eyes deepened. He tugged at his tie, his voice low and husky as it merged with the sea breeze, “It pleases me because it’s you wearing it.”

No matter how expensive or beautiful the dress was, to Gu Chuan, it was just a piece of clothing. But because Jiang Mi wore it, it became vibrant and beautiful, giving it meaning.

Surprised by his spontaneous, flirtatious line, Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow, grabbed his tie, and gently pulled him toward her.

Gu Chuan naturally leaned in closer.

In that instant, their eyes locked, creating an atmosphere full of tension and intimacy.

“Mr. Gu, your tie pleases me as well.”

“Alright, cut!”

The temporary director nearby shouted excitedly.

Perfect, just perfect!

When Jiang Mi tugged on Gu Chuan’s tie and they leaned in closer, it felt like they were doing everything and nothing all at once.

Not to mention their dialogue—it was a back-and-forth of “Are you satisfied?” and “Does it please you?”

The way they teased and pulled at each other was masterful!

But the next moment, the overjoyed temporary director suddenly felt two extremely dangerous gazes on him. He shivered and asked nervously, “What…what’s wrong?”

Jiang Mi narrowed her eyes, her tone laced with coldness, “Why are you here?”

The temporary director weakly raised his hand, “I came to help you film the video.”

The video content was indeed up to the guests to decide. However, the showrunners didn’t completely leave them to their own devices; each pair was assigned a temporary director to assist with filming and editing.

The showrunners had good intentions, but they hadn’t anticipated…

Jiang Mi took a deep breath, “Set up the cameras on the beach, then you can all leave. Gu Chuan and I will handle the rest of the filming ourselves. We don’t need your help.”

The temporary director was shocked, “Didn’t we just finish filming?!”

Jiang Mi frowned. Did this director have a problem with his ears or brain?

At that moment, Gu Chuan shot him a glance, and the temporary director immediately agreed, “Alright, alright, I’ll have the equipment set up right away.”

He quickly took the cameraman and left in a hurry.

What the heck!

He had thought they were filming a video the whole time, considering how the lines and actions had been perfectly choreographed.

But now they were telling him that it wasn’t a video shoot, just a normal conversation?

How could a casual interaction be so full of tension and flirtation?

Wait a minute—Jiang Mi wanted the cameras set up but all the crew to leave? The content must be too intense to even broadcast!

The temporary director panicked, wanting to rush back and warn them not to go too far, but something held him back.

If the sky falls, let the big shots deal with it.

What’s there to worry about?

Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan walked to the already prepared beach area. The temporary director and the cameraman had vanished.

Soft yellow lights evenly bathed the beach, where the platinum-colored sand sparkled like tiny stars—absolutely beautiful.

A few dining tables were scattered on this small section of the beach. The elegant, luxurious tablecloths swayed gently in the sea breeze.

It was a romantic, dreamy beachside restaurant at night.

But…

Gu Chuan asked, puzzled, “Didn’t you eat enough dinner?”

Jiang Mi pushed Gu Chuan to sit down in his seat, then sat across from him, raising an eyebrow at him. “I thought you’d ask about the video theme.”

Her bright eyes seemed to be both challenging and enticing.

Gu Chuan’s dark eyes gleamed with a mysterious light. “I’m more curious about how daring it will be.”

Under Gu Chuan’s gaze, full of aggression and desire, Jiang Mi felt a tingling sensation all over.

But quickly, she pushed her long hair back over her shoulder, revealing her elegant, slender neck, and smiled provocatively, “It’ll barely be within the bounds of what’s broadcastable.”

Daring enough… to just make the cut.

That single sentence felt like dancing on a tightrope over Gu Chuan’s tightly wound nerves.

It was full of flirtation and temptation.

Gu Chuan’s lips curled into a slight smile, “Mimi, you’re playing with fire again.”

His voice was so deep and rich that it was almost too alluring.

Half of Jiang Mi’s body tingled from that one “Mimi,” and she coughed lightly, trying to remain composed. “Maybe.”

Are we playing with fire?

We’ll find out soon enough.

Jiang Mi didn’t bring up the video shoot again, instead sipping her wine and chatting with Gu Chuan about other things.

Since Jiang Mi didn’t mention it, Gu Chuan didn’t ask.

He was like a lion stalking its prey, full of the patience needed for a perfect strike.

Jiang Mi lifted her wine glass, tilting her head in invitation, “Shall we toast?”

A crisp clink echoed in the air.

Jiang Mi swirled her wine, tilting her head back to take a sip. Her cheeks flushed a delicate pink, and her eyes became slightly hazy as she felt a light buzz.

Suddenly, a breeze blew in from the sea, causing Jiang Mi’s graceful shoulders to shiver slightly as if she were cold.

Gu Chuan immediately set down his wine glass, “Are you cold?”

“Maybe a little.” Jiang Mi blinked, looking at Gu Chuan with a smile.

Gu Chuan sighed, about to take off his jacket to drape over her shoulders.

But then, a strand of her hair floated into his line of sight.

The wind had lifted a lock of Jiang Mi’s hair, brushing it lightly against Gu Chuan’s neck, creating a delicate, tingling sensation.

Gu Chuan paused mid-motion, raising his eyes to see her slightly flushed face.

His voice, now impossibly hoarse, broke the silence. “Mimi?”

Jiang Mi softly replied, “Mm.” The next moment, she arched her hips to create a seductive curve and slowly sat down on his lap.

“Brother, I’m a little cold.”

“Warm me up, won’t you?”
