Chapter 52: Falling into His Arms

In an instant, the long-suppressed desires surged forth.

The pent-up emotions roared, breaking free from their cage, as if ready to consume the girl in front of him entirely.

Gu Chuan’s eyelashes lowered, his dark, intense gaze fixed on the girl in his arms.

Burning…

Scorching…

Jiang Mi, feeling a bit flustered, instinctively tried to withdraw from Gu Chuan’s embrace, but the next moment, the man forcefully pulled her back.

She collided with his firm, muscular chest…

Soft and trembling…

A tingling sensation spread through her body…

Jiang Mi’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and her waist felt weak.

Gu Chuan’s deep and husky voice, with a hint of teasing, brushed against her ear, “Baby, are you that eager?”

Jiang Mi’s body softened even more, and though she wanted to deny it, the only sound that escaped her lips was a soft, embarrassing moan. She quickly shut her mouth.

Gu Chuan let out a low laugh, his chest vibrating, which made the exposed skin on Jiang Mi’s body turn even redder.

Embarrassed and slightly angry, Jiang Mi snapped, “Stop laughing.”

“Yes, Miss,” Gu Chuan’s lips lightly brushed against her ear, “I’ll satisfy you, okay?”

His slightly drawn-out tone was unbearably seductive.

Jiang Mi’s body went completely limp, overwhelmed with embarrassment. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and buried her head in his chest, leaving only her flushed ears exposed.

[OMG, they really don’t care that we’re watching. The sexual tension is off the charts.]

[I’m dying! The bed is right there, go for it!]

[What did he say? I need to know!]

[I tried reading his lips, but the angle’s off. I could only make out the word ‘satisfy.’ Writers, start your engines!]

Unable to handle Gu Chuan’s teasing any longer, Jiang Mi coughed and tried to change the subject, “The moon is nice tonight. How about we go to the rooftop and watch the stars?”

“Sure,” Gu Chuan replied with a smile.

As they headed upstairs, a single look from Gu Chuan was enough to stop the camera crew following them.

No one dared argue—Gu Chuan was their big boss, after all!

The rooftop had already been tidied up. A gentle night breeze carried the faint scent of flowers.

Gu Chuan embraced Jiang Mi from behind, his gaze soft and tender, “The moon really is beautiful tonight.”

Jiang Mi’s eyes sparkled like the night sky, bright and luminous.

“By the way, what happened to Bai Ruoruo? Why did she end up in the hospital?”

Gu Chuan briefly explained the situation, and Jiang Mi shared what had happened between her and Shen Mingxuan. After that, neither of them mentioned those two again.

Maybe it was the gentle summer breeze, or perhaps the warmth of Gu Chuan’s embrace, but before she knew it, Jiang Mi had fallen into a light sleep.

Lu Yu, who had overheard the drama, initially wanted to discuss it with Jiang Mi and vent about those two jerks. But as she turned the corner, she saw Gu Chuan carrying a sleeping Jiang Mi down the stairs in a princess carry.

Lu Yu hesitated, lowering her voice, “Is Mimi asleep?”

Gu Chuan nodded and continued down the stairs with Jiang Mi in his arms.

Lu Yu became suspicious. The direction they were heading wasn’t towards either room B or C. Where was Gu Chuan taking Jiang Mi?

Two people, alone, with Jiang Mi asleep—Gu Chuan wouldn’t try anything inappropriate, would he?

Alarm bells rang in Lu Yu’s mind, and she quickly stepped forward to block his path. “W-Where are you taking Mimi?”

Gu Chuan frowned slightly but, seeing that she was concerned about Jiang Mi, he answered, “To the garden room.”

The garden room was a special place built by the villa owner, surrounded by flowers and perfect for relaxation. It had beds, bedding, and sofas, all fully equipped.

Gu Chuan didn’t want to take Jiang Mi to either of the two rooms.

Taking her to a hotel now wouldn’t be appropriate either.

So, he decided to let her rest in the garden room for the night.

Lu Yu was momentarily stunned by the mention of the garden room, and during her hesitation, Gu Chuan had already walked past her with Jiang Mi.

Lu Yu opened her mouth, about to say something.

But then she remembered that they were still filming the show, with so many people and cameras around. Gu Chuan probably wouldn’t do anything to Mimi, right?

Even if something did happen, they were a legitimate couple—why was she even worried?

After Lu Yu figured things out, she honestly shut her mouth.

Just as Lu Yu expected, Gu Chuan merely placed her on the bed, tucked her in, and then went to the sofa on the side.

The night passed.

Jiang Mi’s biological clock woke her up right on time.

She opened her eyes, feeling a moment of confusion.

Last night, she and Gu Chuan were stargazing on the rooftop, and she drifted off to sleep.

Because she had experienced deep betrayal, Jiang Mi had always been highly guarded and alert, but she unexpectedly fell asleep leaning against Gu Chuan.

It really is… men are trouble!

But after she fell asleep, where did Gu Chuan take her? Could it be…?

Her heart inexplicably began to race.

Jiang Mi looked around. The room was flooded with sunlight, filled with blooming flowers, breathtakingly beautiful. But where was Gu Chuan?

The space beside her was cold, clearly no one had slept there.

She quickly sat up and saw the tall man lying on the nearby sofa. Jiang Mi didn’t know whether to feel more happy or disappointed.

But soon, she shook off the inappropriate thoughts in her head. When she looked again, the tall man curled up on the small sofa appeared somewhat pitiful and a bit adorable.

Jiang Mi couldn’t help but smile, lifting the covers and walking over barefoot.

As she approached, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

They were deep and dark, like the vast night sky, mysterious and ethereal, with an extreme coldness.

But in the next moment, when he saw the beautiful woman’s face and her bare feet on the cold floor, he reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her onto the sofa.

Jiang Mi had been puzzled, as she seemed to see the boundless universe in his eyes just a moment ago.

But before she could think further, a sudden sense of weightlessness struck her.

The next second, she fell right into the man’s arms.

Caught off guard, her body pressed against his, she could feel his warm, firm chest muscles, slightly moving with his breath…

A faint blush spread across Jiang Mi’s cheeks as she coughed awkwardly.

At that moment, the man’s deep, hoarse voice sounded above her head, “Why aren’t you wearing shoes?”

No shoes?

Jiang Mi curled her slightly cold toes, realizing she had been so eager to get close to Gu Chuan that she forgot to put on shoes.

But she couldn’t admit to such an embarrassing thing.

Her toes curled uncomfortably as she tried to get off the sofa, but the sofa was small, and they were intimately close. With just a slight movement, she could clearly feel the heat…

Jiang Mi’s whole body stiffened, afraid to move. Her peach blossom eyes were tinged with a soft blush, “You, you…”

Gu Chuan’s arm around her waist tightened slightly, his voice low and sexy, “Baby, you provoked it first.”
