As Gu Wanrou watched him stride into the bathroom, she became alert.

What is Li Zhanfeng trying to do? Don't tell her he's thinking...

Thinking of this, every cell in Gu Wanrou's body seemed to be awakened from its slumber. She quickly braced her slender arms against Li Zhanfeng's chest, her eyes full of resistance: "Wait, Li Zhanfeng, put me down!"

Li Zhanfeng thought she was in pain and scared, and his sinister eyes were filled with heartache and tears.

He tried hard to suppress the tension and lingering fear in his heart, and kept gently comforting Gu Wanrou with his hand: "Rourou, don't be afraid, I'll help you clean your wound and apply medicine right away, then it won't hurt anymore, okay? Be good, Rourou..."

Cleaning the wound? Gu Wanrou suddenly remembered that she was wearing this leather coat; to clean the wound, she would have to take it all off...

She immediately snapped out of her daze, hurriedly jumping off Li Zhanfeng's arms and retreating to the wall, her indifferent eyes filled with vigilance and defensiveness: "Li Zhanfeng, get this straight, I don't have any wounds on my body, this blood isn't mine!"

She didn't stand on ceremony with Li Zhanfeng. Since entering the Liuli Pavilion, the first thing she learned was to protect herself.

Five years ago, she parted ways with Li Zhanfeng. When she was hurt by those things, she deeply understood what it meant to rely on yourself rather than others.

No matter what, one's own life and safety must always come first. In the words of the leader, if one cannot even guarantee one's own safety and life, how can one talk about completing the tasks assigned by the organization well?

So over the years, she has no recollection of when she last got injured!

Her clear eyes were as lively as still autumn water; her gaze seemed delicate and fragile, yet it contained unparalleled stubbornness and tenacity.

But when that gaze landed on Li Zhanfeng's heart, it was like buckets of cold water piercing his heart, freezing him to the bone.

"So in your eyes, I'm so filthy that you'd rather suffer than let me touch you?" Li Zhanfeng's dark eyes surged with a cold, brooding aura. He forcibly suppressed the anger surging in his chest, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

That smile was so melancholic, yet it carried a strong sense of resentment and an aggressive, possessive nature.

Gu Wanrou's heart skipped a beat at the hint of information in his eyes. She subconsciously frowned, wanting to keep her distance from Li Zhanfeng.

"Li Zhanfeng, why are you doing this? When those things happened five years ago, you already knew that we could never have a future. Letting go now would only do us harm, not benefit either of us. At least we won't make things so awkward in the future..."

Let go in time? These words burned into Li Zhanfeng's heart like a branding iron.

The man's dark eyes flashed with a sinister undercurrent, and before Gu Wanrou could react, he forcefully and domineeringly leaned forward.

His muscular chest pressed Gu Wanrou tightly against the corner of the wall, his dark eyes seeming to want to devour her whole: "Let go now? Gu Wanrou, have you forgotten what our relationship is right now? You dare ask me to let go now?"

Gu Wanrou's heart trembled under his intense gaze, her eyes defiant:

"You saved me this time, and I will repay you in other ways, but between us..."

"Then what about our marriage certificate?!" Li Zhanfeng pressed forward step by step.

With a wall behind her and a soft sofa beside her, Gu Wanrou was forced to slide into the sofa against the man's possessive posture: "But do you think there's still a chance between us?!"

"Impossible? We haven't tried again, how is it impossible?" Li Zhanfeng's sinister gaze gradually turned wicked. He squeezed into the soft sofa, his firm chest pressed tightly against Gu Wanrou's chest.

His fingertips traced delicately across Gu Wanrou's fair neck and cheeks, his eyes growing increasingly wicked: "Rou Rou, ever since we got our marriage certificate, it seems you've never fulfilled your duties as a wife, have you?"

"Didn't you say we had nothing to do with each other anymore? Should I remind you what exactly our relationship is? Hmm?"

That voice was as gentle as a seductive poppy, utterly alluring.

The man's cold touch sent shivers down Gu Wanrou's spine like an electric current.

Gu Wanrou couldn't help but reach out and grab Li Zhanfeng's shoulder: "Li Zhanfeng, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?!"

Her drastic action undoubtedly provoked Li Zhanfeng, and a possessive and wicked lust ignited in his deep eyes:

"Rourou! I'm insane! From the day I returned to the capital, I wished I could die on you every single day! Do you know how tempting you are? Every time I see you, I want to devour you whole! I've waited five whole years for this day, five years! Do you know how I've survived every single day of these past five years?"

Gu Wanrou felt as if her heart was being struck by a heavy hammer. How could these past five years have been easy for her?

But she is no longer the Gu Wanrou of five years ago, nor is she a plaything that can be manipulated by anyone with just a marriage certificate!

"Li Zhanfeng, don't..." Gu Wanrou was about to speak when Li Zhanfeng's cool lips gently landed on her neck.

He caressed her most delicate skin, his voice even more doting than before: "Rou Rou, what's there to be shy about? Back at Mu Rou Manor, where didn't we do it? If you've forgotten, I'll help you remember every day from now on..."

Gu Wanrou felt her whole body aroused by him, and she was forced to tilt her head back slightly so that she could breathe freely.

This unintentional movement revealed her fair and sensual swan neck, making it appear like a work of art to Li Zhanfeng.

Just like its owner at this moment, it is full of sinful temptation, giving people the strongest visual impact.

Li Zhanfeng's slender fingers clasped Gu Wanrou's fingers tightly, greedily inhaling the fragrance emanating from her neck, his expression both sacred and devout.

"Do you know why the manor we have in the capital is called Mu Rou Manor? It's because once I'm there, I completely shed the dignified facade I put on in front of others and revert to my true, decadent, and lustful self. Just hearing the name of the manor is enough to make my imagination run wild. I want to feel the gentle caress and nourishment anytime, anywhere, and experience the sweetness of softness. No one can stop us from rolling around like this."

Every nerve in Gu Wanrou's brain seemed to awaken, and a deep disbelief even flashed in her eyes.

Wait, does Li Zhanfeng even know what he's saying?!

"Li Zhanfeng!" She subconsciously raised her voice, trying to wake Li Zhanfeng up.
