Damonâs laughter echoed through the room.
âYou seriously want to sleep with the Minister?â he said between fits of chuckles.
âYes,â Renella insisted firmly. âWhatâs done is done. It doesnât matter if he doesnât like me. He has to take responsibility for me.â
Damon gave Renella an amused thumbs up.
âYouâre truly incredible,â he remarked.
âYou doubt me?â Renellaâs tone carried a hint of challenge.
âItâs not that I doubt you,â Damon chuckled, shaking his head. âI just think youâre absolutely amazing. You donât even fear death.â
Renillaâs expression soured slightly.
âIâve been with Brother Sicheng; he wonât harm me,â she retorted.
âYour Brother Sicheng is a germaphobe and avoids contact with women,â Damon reminded her. âYouâve known Sicheng for so many years. Have you ever seen him with a woman? When has any woman touched him?â
âUntil now, no woman has been able to get close to him. Not even a touch on his hand, let alone his clothes. Heâs either gay or heâs already committed to someone. Youâre not even on his radar. Give up,â Renella explained.
âBe cautious with the driver,â Damon advised earnestly. âOtherwise, neither Dad nor I can protect you. If you genuinely like him, pursue him fairly, but donât resort to manipulation.â
Renella acknowledged her brotherâs sincerity with a pout.
Damon offered comfort. âThe weather is pleasant today. Let me accompany you.â He glanced toward the officer, who was still resting. âMaybe heâll be in a better mood when he wakes up.â
Renella nodded, appreciating the gesture.
Time crept forward, and as night descended, Huo Sichengâs mind remained restless. He sought refuge in his study, diving into work to distract himself.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingcheng stood outside the seaside villa, tracing the path Chu Yu had outlined for her.
Yi Shuiâs phone rang when he spotted Gu Qingcheng, and he answered promptly.
âDonât hinder Madam,â Chu Yuâs voice advised. âLet her search for President
Huo. Only Madam can bring him happiness. Trust me, without his wife,
President Huo wonât find emotional stability.â Yi Shui studied Gu Qingcheng intently. âI understand.â
He ended the call, stepping away from the door.
However, Gu Qingchengâs head throbbed, her dizziness overwhelming. The flight had left her with a pounding headache, and sheâd turned to wine instead of medicine.
The intention was to numb the pain, but she found herself slightly tipsy.
Regardless, she had arrived at Huo Sichengâs location. Gazing at the picturesque resort, she muttered her frustration.
âDamn it! Iâm here, filled with concern and worry for you, while youâre vacationing so comfortably.â
A sense of injustice and discomfort swelled within her.
Having traveled so far to find Huo Sicheng, she discovered him at ease, and it irked her.
With a light stagger, she entered the villa.
Huo Sicheng, hearing the door open, assumed it was Damon. âBe prepared,â he warned in his usual cold tone.
Yet, Damon remained silent, and the scent of alcohol reached his nose.
Frowning, he questioned, âDamon, is thatâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, a strand of long, black hair fell onto his shoulder, accompanied by a strong aroma of alcohol.
He turned around.
In the next instant, a forceful kiss landed on his lipsâ¦
Huo Sichengâs gaze narrowed as he met Gu Qingchengâs captivating face and her watery eyes.
The kiss held both tenderness and dominance.
His cultivated calm shattered, work mode forgotten.
Some liken love to fine wine, only improving with time.
But for Huo Sicheng, the affection between them resembled fireâintense, fervent, and consuming. Heâd rather endure the pain of the flames than let go.
Gu Qingcheng was like fire, blazing for all, including herself and him.
He felt her kiss, sensing her anxiety and nervousness.
And in that moment, the formidable walls around his heart collapsed.
He was powerless against her.
She was his cataclysm.
And he was willing to make her his own.
He tenderly cupped her head with one hand and wrapped his arm around her waist with the other.
He responded to her kiss, surrendering to the intensity.
His lips felt slightly cool, the kiss both commanding and gentle, soothing her heart.
And it was beautiful.
To have found him, and to still have him.
Gu Qingcheng, who had reached Huo Sichengâs side barely coherent, felt lightheaded from his kiss.
âSicheng, Iâm ready,â Damonâs voice interrupted. âAre you ready? Can I leave now?â
Her mind spinning from Huo Sichengâs passionate kiss, her face carried a seductive allure.
Huo Sichengâs being blazed, powerless to resist her.
Damonâs voice stirred him. He extended his arms, drawing Gu Qingcheng into an embrace, causing her to straddle him.
Hidden from view, he spoke lowly, âLeave!â
âAhâ¦â Damon, by the door, hesitated. He stared at the chair that obscured his view.
âSicheng, is there a woman in your arms?â
