Although it was easy to tell that she wasnât actually reflecting on herself, the way she said it sounded so casual, as if it didnât matter at all.
However, when Heatherâs gaze shifted back, she suddenly looked in a certain direction and froze for a moment.
She abruptly raised her head to look at Nian Shen, her expression meaningful: "So... you werenât lying to me..."
"..." Nian Shenâs face darkened; he couldnât say a word.
"You really donât have any self-control!" Heather didnât even know what expression to wear anymore. She felt like laughing but couldnât, wanted to cry but knew that wasnât right, and even felt the urge to hit himâbut, of course, she couldnât!
But honestly, if you were the one barely holding yourself back, could you still laugh?
Nian Shenâs face seemed as though a few black lines had been etched on it. In Heatherâs eyes, it looked like he was recklessly fearless as he reached out and pulled her into his arms. Throughout the process, due to his injuries, she restrained herself and didnât retaliate, and so without suspense, she ended up in his embrace.
To Heather, he was the perfect embodiment of an overbearing CEO: domineering in tone and trying his best to suppress it as he muttered, "Who do you think this is because of?"
The position Heather was sitting in was... awkward, and at this moment, she didnât dare provoke a man "on fire." Besides, deep down, she couldnât help but feel a bit sorry for him...
If he was really "burning," she could definitely stop him, but that would leave him suffering even more.
She thought to herself that since his injuries were already partly her fault, she shouldnât add to his mental torment.
So now, she was in full compromise mode, not resisting at all. She simply lay in his arms, even raising her hands to show her compliance: "OK... Letâs calm down, Mr. Nian. Look closely, Iâm Heather, not Qu Leqi. Did you see that? Iâll carefully stand up now, trying not to touch you, and then..."
As she spoke, she paid no mind to Nian Shenâs darkened expression, smiling as she continued, "And then, weâre both adults, right? Go do what you need to do. The bathroomâs over thereâI wonât see you off. To avoid misunderstandings..."
What she didnât realize was that, at this very moment, her smile was an absolutely fatal temptation to him.
Unable to hold back any longer, he suddenly pushed Heather, who was about to get up, back down onto the bed. With no warning at all, he claimed her lips again.
And this time, Heather felt the sheer force surging through his body from the suddenness of his outburst.
It was a strength that caught her off guard, one she had never anticipated, as his grip locked tightly around her wrists, refusing to let her move.
When he suddenly pressed her down, she instinctively tried to twist and throw him off, but she quickly came to an unsettling realization: his strength was immense!
Unbelievably immense.
In that moment, the energy he exuded as he suddenly attacked her left her stunned.
This familiar presence, tinged with fear-inducing dominance, was something she couldnât mistake.
It was the feeling that only he could give her.
This was the very reason Heather found herself unable to resist. After being pinned down, she stared blankly at the man above her, her eyes filled with a shock she couldnât put into words.
Forget resistingâjust thinking about it, she suddenly realized, there was no way she could overpower him! The grip holding her down was just too strong.
Nian Shen no longer cared about anything. He kissed her deeply.
He had held back for far too long. He wanted her!
