The moment I flung open the door, I saw a tall, imposing figure standing there, and it felt like five bolts of lightning had just struck me simultaneously.
I stood there, stunned for what felt like an eternity, finally managing to croak out, with a breath as thin as a spider's web, "You... You weren't supposed to come until tonight, were you?"Gong Youqi stood there, equally dumbfounded. The person in front of him looked so unfamiliar, like a petite high school girl. He hadn't quite registered my question, and frowning, he asked, "Who are you?"My brain finally re-engaged. With a surge of strength, I tried to slam the door shut, chirping crisply, "Sir, you've got the wrong door."He instinctively took a step back to check the number on the door. I seized the chance, slammed it shut, and leaned against it, taking deep, shaky breaths. How could he just suddenly show up? And had he just seen my actual face?!If it were up to me, I'd always be caked in thick makeup around him. Not only does it fit my 'gold digger' persona perfectly, but it also means no awkwardness if we ever run into each other after the contract ends. He'd only ever seen my other, made-up face, after all.Outside the door, Gong Youqi felt a slow burn of anger igniting within him. The door number was correct, which meant the person inside just now *was* her! That brief glimpse, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt inexplicably cheated. Was *that* her true face, the one she'd been hiding all this time? It was truly a world apart from her usual flamboyant vampishness!He started dialing her phone while simultaneously fumbling for his spare key.I heard my phone ringing again, and it was utterly infuriating. If he was still outside, he'd definitely hear my familiar ringtone. I rushed to the sofa to silence it, when suddenly the door behind me swung open!I gasped and turned, seeing Gong Youqi leaning against the doorframe, his dark eyes like polished obsidian gems, fixed squarely on me.She was so utterly different from what he'd imagined. She was wearing a giant T-shirt, for heaven's sake? But, damn him, he actually thought it highlighted her petite, exquisite figure more than any sexy nightgown could. Her fresh, straight hair was slightly tousled, yet it looked a hundred times better than her usual rigid, cockscomb-like style. What shocked him most was that fresh, beautiful, bare face: those clear, sparkling eyes, a delicate, perky nose, and full, tempting, pink-red lips... Why did he suddenly feel that her usual makeup was purely an attempt to uglify herself?If before she had been a flamboyant turkey, now he thought he was looking at a pure, noble swan. Amidst his shock, tiny ripples of emotion stirred within him, unsure if it was the stunning revelation of her true face or a faint annoyance at being deceived."Miss, since my key can open this door, are you perhaps in the wrong apartment?" He stared at her, like a startled Bambi, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. If he hadn't made this surprise visit today, he probably never would have discovered her little secret."Ah... this... maybe I did go to the wrong door." I hung my head, truly playing the ostrich, and started to walk out. Fine, if he let me escape like this, it would be a win.As I neared the door, he stepped forward, blocking my path: "Going out dressed like that?" The men on the street would tear her to shreds.He lifted my chin, scrutinizing me left and right, his eyes holding an unreadable emotion: "Is this your 'unpresentable' true face?""Uh, I'll go change first." My brain felt like it had short-circuited. Hiding in the bedroom was probably a good idea, to let me think about how to face this. Could he have come early for... *tonight's activities*?Gong Youqi found this woman, in her current silly state, actually rather adorable, like a little girl. In two quick steps, he caught up to me and put his arm around me: "Didn't you say your back hurt? Why don't I carry you in?"He slipped one arm under my back, tilting me back, and hooked his other arm under my knees. The white T-shirt slid up my thighs, revealing creamy, luminous skin. He stared for two seconds before carrying me towards the bedroom.I felt a momentary dizziness again. Lying in his arms, I instinctively hooked my arms around his neck, only to come to my senses as he neared the bedroom and let out a shriek: "Ah – put me down! I... you can't go in there yet!"He stopped, looking down at me: "Why not?" It was the first time he'd observed her so closely. That delicate, smooth, heart-shaped face felt a little unfamiliar, yet so incredibly tempting."I-I-I... I haven't eaten yet!" Realizing this fact, I pouted, rubbing my stomach. The oversized T-shirt immediately flattened below, but above, two rounded peaks stood tall, even the two little 'pearls' at the tips visibly protruding under the fabric.My ears immediately burned. That's when I remembered, after my shower, I wasn't wearing a bra...Gong Youqi naturally noticed my delicate curves. His fiery gaze fell upon me. He assumed I was deliberately showing off, yet he spoke in a low, husky voice: "You little temptress!" And with a kick, he opened the bedroom door and carried me inside.I felt the world spin, tragically thinking: Ancient prisoners could at least die with a full stomach. Couldn't they let me have one good meal before my 'sacrifice'?He placed me on the bed, but didn't immediately make his move. Looking down at the still somewhat bewildered figure on the bed, Gong Youqi felt like he was observing a little angel who had stumbled into the human world."You certainly have some tricks up your sleeve," he said, folding his arms. "Even I found your allure hard to resist."Clarifying his meaning, I finally understood he thought everything was just my elaborate ploy to seduce him. Fine, that saved me the trouble of explaining why I was dressed like this.My beautiful eyes regained their usual cunning, and I propped myself up, smiling seductively: "Since Young Master Gong has seen through me, I can only admit it. To welcome your esteemed presence tonight, I've already started preparing. It's really not easy, you know.""So, dressing up as an innocent little girl was also to attract me?" His tone turned cold again. This woman's cunning really shouldn't be underestimated.That kiss last night, he had indeed indulged a little, which was why he was afraid of losing control and had hastily left without even looking back at her. He'd been almost absent-minded when driving Su Yingran home, unable to believe that a single kiss could disturb his mind so much. Was it really just that his long period of abstinence had made him overly sensitive? Perhaps it was better for him to confirm: was this gold-digger truly that charismatic, or had his resistance simply worn away?"What do you think?" I elegantly brushed my messy hair aside, neither confirming nor denying. I folded my long legs, licked my pink lips, and then gazed at him with wide, innocent eyes, batting them. If *that* was unavoidable, it would probably be more in character for me to take the initiative.Facing the irresistible beauty on the bed, Gong Youqi felt his throat go dry. A tiny spark within his body spontaneously ignited, threatening to become a raging inferno.I watched him, all tense, and felt a little amused. I wondered if he was going to pounce fiercely or storm out in anger. Perhaps, to some extent, I was playing with fire, even if it meant getting burned. I hadn't really planned my future, and I enjoyed living so freely and nonchalantly, playing around in this earthly realm. I wanted to try living the way I liked first. Maybe one day, if I wanted to settle down, I'd fold my wings and become an ordinary, law-abiding person.They were like opposing generals, one poised for battle, the other at leisure.A knock on the door broke their silence.One second ago, my charming, seductive expression suddenly transformed into one of pure joy, like seeing water in a desert. I was practically on the verge of tears: "My lifeblood has finally arrived!"Gong Youqi thought it was a terrible waste that she wasn't an actress. Seeing her about to get out of bed barefoot, he blurted out, "Wait, I'll get it."I froze for a moment, then happily curled my legs and sat back on the bed. Young Master Gong was actually willing to serve me himself? Why not?Just as I was foolishly wondering if he'd been bewitched by my 'pure' appearance into running errands for me, Gong Youqi walked in, carrying the food and rummaging through the KFC bag.He looked at my order – a chicken strip burger, a fruit salad, and a Sprite – and frowned slightly: "You like eating this junk food? You really are a child."I stared at the food bag, swallowing. I reached out for it: "I was so hungry, this was the only delivery number I could find."Then I watched as he took out that delicious-smelling burger and, with a beautiful throwing motion, tossed it straight into the trash can in the corner. He even said, feigning kindness, "Don't eat that stuff in the future. It's unhealthy."My arm was frozen in mid-air. My heart ached. I glared at him, barely containing my indignation: "Eating it once won't kill anyone! Especially not someone who's practically starving to death like me! You're wasting food and trampling on the farmers' hard work. You threw away my food and won't let me eat it, so do you expect me to eat *you*?"My words came out without thinking, but to his ears, they sounded like a blatant hint. His sexy, thin lips curled into a smile: "Whether you eat me or I eat you, we'll find out in a moment."I choked on his words, coughing twice, my face flushed. I got up and snatched the remaining fruit salad from his hand, clutching it tightly to my chest. I ripped off the lid and started eating directly with my hands, afraid he'd throw it away again before I could get a bite.Watching my utterly childish actions, his eyes and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but spread into a smile. While I wasn't looking, he snatched the small fruit box back, holding it high to avoid my pouncing hands. Facing my angry and wronged expression, he laughed like a teasing big boy and said, "Do you want me to feed you?"I grabbed empty air twice more, then stopped, fuming: "I have my own hands and mouth, no need to trouble you." Inwardly, I was already wailing. He wouldn't let me have a burger, and now I couldn't even have my after-dinner fruit? This teasing was practically abuse!Gong Youqi, however, was unusually interested in playing along. He found a small fork in the bag, speared a piece of apple, and dangled it in front of the little starving refugee: "Sit properly."The refugee looked at his teasing eyes, then at that sweet fruit covered in creamy salad dressing, and finally, succumbed to the screams of her stomach and the lure of food. I sat obediently on the bed, legs together, hands at my sides, like a good child listening to a parental lecture.Gong Youqi smiled in satisfaction, sat on the edge of the bed, and brought the food to my small mouth. He praised softly, "Good girl."I clenched my fist and glared at him, then immediately refocused on the food. Swallowing the apple in my mouth, I pouted slightly: "More." I didn't understand why he wanted to play house, but a temporary cooperation was easy enough for me.He speared another piece of banana and brought it to my mouth. The two of them were like birds feeding each other, one feeding the other, and the atmosphere became harmonious, yet strangely eerie. He noticed a drop of salad dressing on the corner of my mouth and gently wiped it away with his thumb.When he touched my lips, I instinctively flinched, hearing his soft chuckle: "Are you nervous?""What do I have to be nervous about?" I wiped my lips with my arm, glanced at the fruit that "Mama Bird" had just finished feeding me, and finally felt my stomach was no longer an empty void."Are you full?" He went to the trash can to toss the bag."Do you really think I'm a little bird?" That tiny bit of fruit barely lined my stomach."I'll make it up to you tonight," he said, loosening his tie and slowly pulling it off. "Now, it's your turn to feed me.""..." Watching him unbutton his shirt, I naturally understood what was about to happen. But I truly wasn't fully prepared. I was afraid my lack of skill would arouse his suspicion. I still wanted to keep up this 'vase' persona."But, it's still daytime..." I tried to struggle to the very end."Who says you can't do it during the day?" He had already unbuttoned his shirt, his healthy, tanned skin revealing his lean, well-toned physique.This time, it was my turn to feel my mouth go dry. I stared at the handsome man's powerful chest, licking my lips, and my brain neurons started screaming again. This handsome man was tempting me first, I couldn't blame myself... My eyes sparkled. I suddenly jumped up, completely forgetting my back pain.I drew the curtains, turned around, and smiled coyly at him across the bed: "Young Master Gong, do you really want to now?"With the sunlight blocked out, the room's dim light added to the intimate atmosphere. He watched as the wide neckline of my T-shirt slipped down, revealing one delicate shoulder, an infinite allure. His deep eyes blinked. He stood his ground, as if waiting for me to disrobe him."Come here. Let me see how skilled your methods are."I let out a soft, teasing "Oh dear!" "How could I have any 'methods'? I'm still so innocent." Heaven knows, I was telling the absolute truth. If I messed up later, he couldn't blame me for not clarifying beforehand.Gong Youqi stood still, his voice unusually calm: "Then let me see just how 'innocent' you are." At the same time, he prepared himself, testing whether he could resist her temptation.I took light, graceful steps towards him, but inside, I felt a sense of martyrdom. Since heaven had given me such a perfect opportunity to *seduce* a handsome man, I had no reason to refuse.With captivating eyes and pouting red lips, I walked with a cat-like stride, like Cleopatra reigning over the world, slowly approaching the Caesar about to be seduced by me.I circled a large arc along the wall, already at the wardrobe, just over a meter away from him. I struck a provocative pose, placed a slender finger on my lips, raised my chin, and blew him a kiss, about to move slightly closer.Just one step, and suddenly I tripped over something, letting out a gasp. My entire body pitched forward, directly towards the Young Master Gong who was waiting for me to unleash my full seductive arsenal.Heaven! Why did it have to make me make a fool of myself at the very moment I felt most charming?!As I fell, I closed my eyes and cursed silently in my heart: *Heaven, you're purely jealous! Jealous of my natural beauty, jealous of my boundless charm, jealous that I'm about to get a handsome man, and you're unbalanced... Heaven, you're so petty, what kind of heaven are you?!*
Just one step out of the Chinese restaurant, and I suddenly tripped over something, letting out a gasp. My entire body pitched forward, directly towards the Young Master Gong who was waiting for me to unleash my full seductive arsenal.I cursed heaven under my breath, thinking that I was about to make such a fool of myself. Gong Youqi would definitely laugh at me, my charm would plummet, not to mention ruining this rare, good atmosphere. If I had to start over, I really didn't know if I could pull off the seduction so naturally again.I waited a few seconds. When I landed, it didn't hurt. Ah, a carpet was good after all – but could a carpet be this smooth and warm? I slowly opened my eyes and saw my face pressed against Gong Youqi's warm chest.He was leaning back at an awkward angle, letting me land steadily on him. His voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, leisurely sounded above my head: "Is this your first move? The method seems a bit old-fashioned."I scrambled off him, but then gave a tender smile: "It might be a little old-fashioned, but thankfully it works." The handsome man indeed had a tender heart; he didn't let me make a complete fool of myself. I turned to glance at the culprit on the floor that had tripped me, my expression slightly rippled.Gong Youqi followed my gaze, and his eyes also took on a strange tint.A small bag by the wall had spilled out several small packets of different brands, proudly receiving the attention of the two of us.I felt a tragic sense of sacrifice in my heart, but my face remained composed. I picked up a few small packets and offered them to Gong Youqi: "Young Master Gong, which type do you prefer?"He glanced at them, then confiscated all of them, his voice flat: "You're truly considerate."I had long forgotten how to blush, only batting my innocent eyes and smiling flirtatiously: "If you praise me more, I'll get shy." Last night, I asked my sisters for various TT samples. I hadn't even had a chance to properly research which one was good. What a miscalculation.A large hand suddenly clasped my slender waist. I felt a blur before he dragged me half-spin onto the bed. A god-like handsome face appeared above me: "Continue."My heart pounded under the handsome man's gaze. I extended my soft, boneless little hand to lightly tug his shirt, pulling him closer. My jade fingers gently poked his lean, tanned chest muscles, and my clear, sparkling eyes shone even brighter. I hooked my arms around his neck, using the leverage to sit up, then with a powerful twist and tilt, successfully switched our positions to me on top of him.He was pressed onto the bed, unmoving, his gaze locked with mine, calmly waiting for me to show off my skills.I once again lay on top of him, my eyes gleaming, like a small grey wolf staring at a big white rabbit. My lustful paws were already impatiently roaming under his shirt. My mind was in a state of high excitement, lost in the thrilling fantasy of "I'm on top of a handsome man!"Then he poured cold water on me with a chilling voice: "Is that all you've got?"I choked. Only then did I realize the handsome man beneath me was completely unresponsive, his dark eyes showing not a hint of lust. I immediately fumed, letting out a frustrated "Hmph!" "This is just the beginning! Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even helped you undress yet!"With a strong pull, I stripped off his expensive designer shirt. He cooperated, extending his arms to let me pull it off, a slight, almost disdainful smile perpetually on his lips, fueling my fighting spirit. Today, I was truly going to challenge him. Let's see if I had enough charm to make him fall for me.Gong Youqi felt the soft, warm jade beneath him. Her waist-length hair spread out, strands sliding across his skin, a faint, elegant fragrance filling his nostrils. If he hadn't deliberately wanted to test his self-control, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist her teasing and would have flipped her over long ago.He stood up, watching me struggle clumsily for what felt like ages to unbuckle his belt. The tiny flame in his heart had already ignited into a bonfire. Yet, he knew perfectly well she was deliberately trying to act like a naive little girl, which brought him a sense of sobriety. When she finally managed to pull down his trousers with effort, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, those little hands lingering on *that* part of him, wrestling with his zipper, would have made things quite difficult for him.My cheeks were slightly flushed. I preferred to believe it was from excitement rather than shyness. I'd seen plenty of men at Xinyue spontaneously doing stripteases when they got into the mood, but their figures were miles apart from this man's. My tall stature only reached his shoulders. Staring at the handsome man's perfectly proportioned body, for a moment, I could only swallow, unsure where to even begin.Noticing I was starting to gape again, he waved a large hand in front of my eyes, slightly displeased: "I'm not here for a body exhibition."He then looked at my wide neckline, which had slipped down my shoulder, and inexplicably felt agitated by my hidden allure. With ill intent, he grabbed the two short sleeves and tugged, pulling the large neckline from my shoulders down to my arms, intending to pull it off completely.The neckline snagged at my high chest, trapping my arms. I gasped and swayed, and he steadied me."It seems your skills in bed are not as impressive as your other talents," he concluded, making it clear he was completely unaffected by me. Well, *that* was annoying.I was provoked. How dare he look down on me? I forcefully pulled at the stuck T-shirt, yanking it down. The taut neckline scraped harshly over my tender skin. A pair of pristine, full breasts sprang free from their confinement, the skin that had been violently brushed turning a pale pink, and the two pink cherries at the tips stood erect from my own rough tugging.I then slipped off my panties. My snow-white, slender body stood before him. I looked up at him with a fiery, challenging gaze, my voice seductive to the bone: "Young Master Gong, aren't you making your conclusions a little too soon?"Gong Youqi fell silent the moment he saw her curvy, devilish figure. Though he still watched her calmly, his outward composure couldn't suppress the raging desire burning within him. The pink blush on her fair skin, caused by the friction of her clothes, seemed like an airborne aphrodisiac, tempting him to caress the cute little thing before him.So, it was true that men could separate sex from love. Seeing a beautiful body indeed triggered an instinctive reaction."Young Master Gong, I'm going to start teasing you now, okay?" The temptress curved her lips and slowly approached him, her every movement exuding seductive charm.A pair of restless little hands began to tease him, sometimes tracing circles around his abdomen, sometimes pinching his earlobe. As he desperately fought an internal battle between willpower and desire, a pink little tongue suddenly wrapped around the small protrusion on his strong chest.Gong Youqi felt his entire body stiffen. Nerves from his feet to his head were electrocuted. He abruptly grabbed my chin.I slowly and innocently pulled away. When I looked up, my firm cherry nipples lightly brushed against his hard muscles, and I feigned sadness: "Young Master Gong, am I really that unattractive?"Gong Youqi didn't speak, afraid that if he moved, he would just pounce on her. In truth, even without any tricks, this woman's eloquent, alluring body was enough to make any man dizzy with desire.Just as my 'demonic' hand was about to push him down again, he finally moved. He swept over my light body like lightning, pressing me hard onto the bed. Looking at my slightly confused, beautiful eyes, he whispered, "I allow you to tempt me, but I will not allow you to pin me down again and again."My eyes shone, a captivating smile on my face. My hands and feet were pinned by him, but I suddenly lifted my head and stole another kiss from the handsome man.This man, so prideful. Did he think it would be a blow to his ego if she completely captivated him? No matter. Wasn't my role as his mistress from the start? I considered myself quite considerate, so I'd just admit defeat first.Before I could even begin my 'wolf kiss,' he had already taken the initiative again. Gong Youqi was inexplicably furious, kissing me with unusual savagery, giving me no quarter. He pursued my head as it twisted from side to side, pressing down tightly so I couldn't move, as if he wanted to release the surging heat within him through a single, frantic kiss.I couldn't breathe. I knew I had provoked him, but I also felt wronged. Hadn't he willingly let me tease him? And now he was taking his frustration out on me. Feeling like I was about to suffocate, I bit down hard on his hot tongue that was still plundering the last bits of air from my mouth. Only when he winced in pain did I turn my head and gasp for air.His dark eyes shifted between hot and cold, locking onto me with a gaze woven from ice and fire. He didn't move again, nor did he let me move.I felt his suppressed intensity. The burning heat pressed against my lower abdomen already revealed his intentions. Oh dear, wouldn't holding back like this cause internal injuries?I glared at him, then, my heart softening, I sighed: "Alright, Young Master Gong, I admit defeat. I can't believe I used all 108 of my tricks and only got one kiss from you. Your self-control will be my eternal admiration. I'll never dare show off in front of you again."Better for me to be magnanimous, right? Knowing I couldn't provoke him further, offering him a graceful exit was the least I could do.Gong Youqi propped himself up slightly, looking down at the fiery body beneath him, a body that made men's blood run hot. He began to examine me with a researching gaze. After a moment, his large hand covered the softness of my chest, and he leaned down to whisper in my ear: "This time, I truly want you."As he spoke, his hands were already wreaking havoc on the snow-like skin beneath him, gently pinching and rubbing, igniting the flames within his own body onto mine. He had changed his mind about maintaining abstinence, deciding to separate sex and love. The male hormones that had been dormant for two years surged forth. His gaze held a hint of pity as he looked at the woman beneath him, still oblivious. Let him fully enjoy her seduction this time.I could only try to accommodate him using the "never eaten pork, but seen pigs run" method, desperately trying to recall how actresses in adult films pleased men, afraid my cluelessness would arouse his suspicion. But a moment later, I discarded that notion – because I discovered that Gong Youqi's understanding of a woman's body was many times superior to mine.I just had to fully enjoy his caresses. He knew where a woman was most sensitive, knew how to stir up the deep-seated desire within a woman. When I found myself involuntarily groaning aloud, I saw his slightly smug chuckle."How was that? Was my teasing more effective?"I had lost all strength, completely limp in his arms, only able to think grudgingly: *If it weren't for me magnanimously giving you an out, you probably would have fainted from forcing yourself to hold back your pride.*Yet, I still found myself accommodating him, hearing his deep, alluring voice: "Are you ready? I've been waiting for a long time."My heart pounded. The burning heat pressed against my private parts instantly left me bewildered. A hint of fear in my heart was replaced by worry. As I was still thinking wildly, my body instinctively shuddered, and a scream expressed a pain that surpassed my own expectations.Gong Youqi's movements paused for a split second, a flicker of suspicion in his eyes. But in the very next second, I smiled seductively again, enticing him, making him move uncontrollably. My messy hair obscured the side of my face, so he didn't see the tightly furrowed brows on my pretty little face, or the expression of biting my lower lip hard to resist the pain.
