“Really not thinking? But your performance just now didn’t seem like it.”
Gu Heng curved his dark eyes in ambiguous delight, staring at Zuo Shihuan’s face, red from either embarrassment or anger. His thin lips curled slightly as he said, “Shihuan, you don’t need to be shy with me…”
Zuo Shihuan ground his teeth. “I-am-not-shy!”
Gu Heng raised his brows indifferently and said, “All right, all right. Since you don’t want to admit it, I’ll be considerate of you, just like how I’ll be considerate that if you have any needs, you can come to me anytime, anywhere, and I’ll satisfy you, ”
Zuo Shihuan’s earlobes were about to turn so red they could drip blood. Teased by Gu Heng until he was both embarrassed and angry, unable to say a word, he acted on impulse and reached out to cover Gu Heng’s incessantly chattering, annoying mouth.
“Don’t say another word! B*stard!”
“Mmm… mmm…”
“I’m not shy, and I don’t want you either!”
“Mm… mm-hm?”
With his mouth sealed by Zuo Shihuan, Gu Heng still made teasing, protesting sounds. The raised dark eyes, full of mockery, seemed to be openly arguing with Zuo Shihuan.
Of course, Zuo Shihuan could see that even with his mouth shut, Gu Heng’s subtly teasing gaze stayed on him. Even if his mouth was closed, his heart was still unconvinced.
Arguing with him using his eyes.
Zuo Shihuan said indignantly, “I didn’t! It’s Gu Heng, you’re always misleading me. You’re the one who’s a bigger b*stard! I don’t need you to… satisfy me.”
Watching Zuo Shihuan argue and quarrel more and more, yet only reveal his lack of confidence, Gu Heng couldn’t help lowering his head slightly, biting his glossy red lips. The light-brown eyes filled with embarrassed moisture, instinctively avoiding Gu Heng’s direct stare.
This only deepened the smile in Gu Heng’s dark eyes, and he had no intention of putting up any resistance.
It made Zuo Shihuan think Gu Heng had been persuaded. He let out a small sigh of relief, then cautiously stared at Gu Heng for quite a while with his light-brown eyes.
All he saw was Gu Heng’s deep dark eyes filled with amusement and some strange, indescribable emotion, an indulgent, doting feeling, as if no matter what Zuo Shihuan did to him, he would accept it all.
Under that gaze, Zuo Shihuan found it even harder to resist. His face reddened who knew how many times as he quietly used his fingers to rub Gu Heng’s smooth, supple facial contours. Soft-hearted, he loosened his grip slightly.
Zuo Shihuan was angry at himself for being so spineless. Sometimes he felt that sooner or later, he would be completely controlled by Gu Heng’s good looks.
Maybe there was no need to wait for later.
Even now, he was already easily provoked and teased by Gu Heng, this overly handsome Beta, lured into an imbalanced heartbeat, unstable body temperature, and all sorts of subtle, abnormal physical reactions.
Speaking of which, his waist was still sore and numb, and his legs were still weak.
Whenever Zuo Shihuan recalled last night’s passion and madness, he still felt lingering fear. He had almost thought he was going to be worked to death by Gu Heng in bed.
Even when he passed out, a trace of relief and escape flashed through his mind.
He really didn’t know who the Alpha actually was.
Even though he was an Alpha who kept up regular fitness training, he still couldn’t withstand Gu Heng’s excessively vigorous and powerful stamina and energy.
Don’t let it happen again.
Just one more time and he really wouldn’t be able to take it.
Zuo Shihuan cautiously guarded against every move Gu Heng made. He slightly loosened the hand covering Gu Heng’s lower face, yet didn’t dare let go completely. When he met Gu Heng’s deep, smiling dark eyes, his heart trembled even more and his body involuntarily shuddered.
He really didn’t know whether Gu Heng was joking with him or not.
Because things Gu Heng said jokingly were things he truly had the ability to carry out.
Clearly, Gu Heng had also been exhausted for a whole night, yet he looked even more energetic than Zuo Shihuan did, which made Zuo Shihuan even more alarmed.
Zuo Shihuan considered himself to have relatively good stamina among Alphas, yet he had still almost been unable to get out of bed today, his whole body limp and numb, his legs weak.
The moment he heard Gu Heng say he would satisfy him, what Zuo Shihuan felt wasn’t desire surging up, but memories of having been exhausted all night, crying all night, so much so that even in his dreams he couldn’t escape Gu Heng’s all-night entanglement, a horrifying fear.
There was no escape at all.
Especially if Gu Heng was serious.
Zuo Shihuan couldn’t escape, nor could he resist Gu Heng’s seductive teasing, neither mentally nor physically. He would be easily aroused, falling into endless entanglement.
Zuo Shihuan felt his palms start to sweat. His light-brown eyes trembled slightly as he stared fixedly at Gu Heng, who was still covered at the mouth yet wore a lazy, unhurried posture.
On the surface, he seemed to be at a disadvantage, yet there wasn’t the slightest hint of panic or unease.
Both of them understood that at most it was just a bit of playful flirtation.
If Gu Heng got serious, no one would be his match. Or he might willingly lower his head and give way for Zuo Shihuan, but that would be in serious matters.
When Gu Heng became improper, no one could withstand him. Including Zuo Shihuan, he couldn’t stop him either, nor did he have the strength to stop him.
Zuo Shihuan could only slowly withdraw his hand, keeping a tense watch on Gu Heng, hoping he wouldn’t start messing around again.
And he fumed inwardly.
He planned to find time later to learn some martial arts, boxing, or sanda, at the very least, he couldn’t always be so easily suppressed by Gu Heng. He needed to have some ability to contend with him.
Fighting spirit suddenly flared in Zuo Shihuan’s eyes. He immediately looked at Gu Heng warily and said, “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll cover your mouth again. Do you understand?”
Gu Heng raised both hands in surrender and said, “All right, I’ll listen to Zuo Shihuan.”
Hearing that, Zuo Shihuan got angry again. He turned back and glared at Gu Heng, muttering extremely softly with a belly full of resentment, “Didn’t see you listening to me that much last night, b*stard, liar…”
Gu Heng naturally heard Zuo Shihuan’s extremely quiet words. A teasing, delighted light flashed through his dark eyes as he laughed foolishly and said, “Words said in bed are never trustworthy, Shihuan.”
Zuo Shihuan’s movements stiffened. His face flushed red as he clenched his fists. In the end, he endured it, turned his head sharply, and looked out the car window at the scenery. No matter how good-looking Gu Heng’s face was right now, it only felt punchable to him.
“How long until we arrive?” Zuo Shihuan deliberately changed the subject.
Gu Heng naturally understood Zuo Shihuan’s little intention to divert the topic. There was plenty of time ahead to tease him slowly, and if he kept teasing Zuo Shihuan now, he really was a bit afraid that an embarrassed and furious Zuo Shihuan would immediately demand to get out of the car.
Compared to brief intimacy with Zuo Shihuan, he valued today, their first official date, much more.
Gu Heng answered honestly, “A little over twenty minutes.”
Zuo Shihuan gave a muffled “oh” and stopped talking.
Gu Heng glanced sideways at him, then straightened up, the corners of his lips lifting slightly as if asking casually, “Shihuan, which mall do you usually go to? We’ll drive straight there in a bit.”
Zuo Shihuan rested his chin on his hand. “Any is fine.”
Gu Heng said, “Then let’s go to the mall in Central City. What do you think? And also, what brands and styles of clothes do you usually prefer to buy?”
Zuo Shihuan’s eyes flickered: “…I’m fine with anything. Most of it was chosen for me by the Zuo family’s housekeeper. As for brands and styles… just pick something cheaper.”
Zuo Shihuan suddenly remembered that he had run away from the marriage and currently didn’t have much cash on hand. The bank accounts provided by the family were definitely being monitored at all times by his father, Zuo Zoujian, and couldn’t be used.
If he still dared to use a bank account linked to the family, the Zuo family would certainly discover his whereabouts. It wasn’t that Zuo Shihuan didn’t have his own private accounts, but for the moment it wasn’t convenient to use them.
It had been a long time since Zuo Shihuan had experienced the feeling of being short on money. Lacking confidence, he said to Gu Heng, “…Could you lend me a little money?”
Gu Heng fell into a strange silence, gripping the steering wheel tightly. When he turned to look at Zuo Shihuan, the depths of his eyes, like thick black mist, seemed to churn with some unfathomably dark emotion, and then a flash of sadness and hurt passed through.
It made Zuo Shihuan wonder if he had said something wrong.
After a few seconds, Gu Heng let out a deep sigh. “Does Shihuan not hold me in your heart?”
Zuo Shihuan frowned and said urgently, “I… how could I not hold you in my heart?”
Gu Heng rubbed his brow and sighed. “Then why talk to me about borrowing money? If you need it, you can just take it from me. If something happened to me and I lacked money, and I asked you for some, what would you do?”
Zuo Shihuan pressed his lips into a straight line, but still said in a muffled voice, “I… I would just give it to you directly. I understand what you mean, Gu Heng.”
Gu Heng: “It’s good that you understand… Take this card and communicator. I already prepared them in advance and put money inside. You can keep your own communicator, Shihuan, but it’s best not to use it outside my range after leaving, its signal might be tracked.”
Gu Heng handed over a Federal identity ID card with a photo on it, along with a brand-new communicator. When Zuo Shihuan took the ID card and saw the photo and identity information on it, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Because the portrait photo on the ID card was exactly the disguised appearance Zuo Shihuan had just put on with the disguise device. Even the ID photo, address, and contact details were all there, as if this were truly a Federal citizen who existed.
If Zuo Shihuan hadn’t just seen his reflection in the car window, he might really have felt a little dazed, wondering whether such a Federal person truly existed in the world.
Curious and puzzled, Zuo Shihuan used the communicator to log into the account on this fake Federal ID card and saw all kinds of information about this false identity, birthplace, date of birth, hometown details, everything complete, even photos taken with friends and relatives.
He couldn’t help but ask in amazement, “Did this person ever really exist?”
Gu Heng did not hide anything and explained in detail, “The person of this fake identity does not exist. His experiences were fabricated to make him appear real. But some fake Federal identities did once belong to real people, we use benefits or other methods to have them conceal their names and hand over their public identities for us to use.”
Zuo Shihuan nodded as if understanding but not quite, then checked the bank account of this false identity. Immediately he saw a long string of zeros in the balance.
Having seen countless luxuries and wealth in the Zuo family, logically he shouldn’t be shocked by more money. But when Zuo Shihuan saw the amount in the bank account, he still felt an incredulous surprise.
He blurted out, “Gu Heng, won’t you get arrested for forging things like this?”
Gu Heng suddenly choked and coughed several times, then looked at Zuo Shihuan speechlessly. “Why would you think I’m forging? The money is real.”
Zuo Shihuan’s gaze shifted away. “The identity ID card is fake. It’s normal for the bank account and the amount inside to be fake too…”
Gu Heng held his forehead. “…The identity is fake, but the money is real. Even I wouldn’t dare casually forge or move money from the Federal Bank.”
Zuo Shihuan looked worried and pressed his lips together. “Gu Heng, you can tell me the truth. I’m just worried you might get thrown into a Federal prison for forgery. Maybe I shouldn’t use it…”
Sometimes, from the bottom of his heart, Gu Heng was impressed by Zuo Shihuan’s imagination. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a thick stack of Federal cash from the car’s compartment and handed it to Zuo Shihuan fiercely. “This is Federal currency in cash. You dare to use it now, right? And I really didn’t forge anything. I don’t need to go to the trouble of forging for this little bit of money!”
“Oh, alright…” Zuo Shihuan took the thick stacks of Federal bills half-believingly, feeling a bit flustered. He had never taken so much money at once.
Although the Zuo family would transfer money to him, it was always just a string of numbers in an account, without the feeling of real cash.
But soon Zuo Shihuan paused, his light brown eyes showing a complicated worry. “How about… Gu Heng, I’ll leave some for you.”
Gu Heng turned his head and frowned. “What is it, Shihuan?”
Looking at the large pile of Federal paper money in his arms, Zuo Shihuan sighed. “I finally have some real sense of your profession now. But this is money you earned through hard and risky work. I, I’m a bit reluctant to spend it…”
Gu Heng suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said as if nothing was wrong, “Go ahead and use it. And Shihuan, you don’t need to worry too much. I still have a lot of money myself.”
Zuo Shihuan frowned, planning ahead. “How about I help you save it?”
Gu Heng’s eyes moved slightly. The muscles in his arm tensed, veins standing out. Finally unable to suppress the surging excitement and intense love in his heart, he turned and suddenly cupped the back of Zuo Shihuan’s head.
He fiercely pressed a kiss onto his pitifully tender red lips.
Kissing Zuo Shihuan until his eyes widened, and amid slight struggling he sank deeper and deeper, his light brown eyes quickly filling with a layer of shy, moist haze.
He grabbed at the front of Gu Heng’s clothes.
Then weakly let go.
Panting.
Until at last.
Gu Heng gently bit Zuo Shihuan’s lip, his extremely deep black eyes, filled with profound, dark desire and love, gazing at Zuo Shihuan’s flushed face and his slightly swollen, enticing red lips, staring silently for several seconds.
Only then did he release Zuo Shihuan.
Gu Heng lifted a meaningful smile. Looking at Zuo Shihuan, who couldn’t help coughing and whose cheeks were flushed red after being let go, he curled his thin lips and said, “No need to save it… you’re my wife. It’s only natural for me to spend money on you.”
