Chapter 68. He was infatuated with her.
Gu Junsheng held her in his arms, his large hands supporting her waist to prevent her from completely collapsing.
His Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing became slightly disordered and rapid, and he pressed heavily against her.
Chu Ruofu's eyelashes trembled, her eyes were flushed, and her eyes were moist. Under his guidance, she responded boldly.
A tingling sensation shot through her waist, like an electric current, up to her neck and the back of her head.
Chu Ruofu was immersed in this gentle yet forceful kiss, her heart pounding so hard that her whole body went numb, her breath mingling with his.
Gu Junsheng tensed up, his strong arms tightening around her, holding her tightly in his embrace. The hand that had been stroking her face turned to hold her neck, deepening the kiss.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, and the sound of water could be heard in the hotel room.
After kissing for a while, Gu Junsheng saw that her eyes were dazed and she looked pitiful, as if she couldn't breathe due to lack of oxygen. He took pity on her and let her go for the time being. He adjusted her position and made her sit up straight.
Chu Ruofu placed her hands against his chest, gently clutching his suit jacket, her face flushed and panting, staring down at him.
Gu Junsheng's handsome face was cold and aloof, his beautiful black eyes were dark and inscrutable. She wasn't the only one who was infatuated with her; he was also infatuated with her and immersed in her charm.
Chu Ruofu felt his excitement; the heat emanating from the fabric made her almost jump up.
He wouldn't allow her to back down at the last minute. His large hand gripped her waist tightly, his gaze fixed on her. With his glasses off, his cool and handsome appearance was even more captivating.
Her heart was pounding, and even though she had just drunk water, her throat felt dry again.
The early autumn nights don't require air conditioning, yet the indoor temperature is as hot as summer, sticky and humid, making you feel scorching hot all over.
Gu Junsheng stared at her dazed face, the veins on his hand controlling her waist bulging, showing restraint and forbearance.
Chu Ruofu was captivated by him. His mature and noble demeanor was aloof, making people want to break through his calm exterior and reveal his unique and alluring charm.
Like a playful, clingy kitten, her fingers traced along his suit, gradually moving upwards, tugging at his shirt collar, fiddling with his tightly buttoned collar. Her fingers were fair and slender, while his prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
Gu Junsheng swallowed instinctively. There was a wild beast imprisoned within him, wanting to break free of its cage, but he suppressed it and hid it in the shadows.
Gu Junsheng tightened his grip on her waist, his voice low and husky: "Help me unbutton my collar."
"Hmm." Chu Ruofu gently unbuttoned the top button of his collar.
Their eyes met, and they drew closer and closer. Suddenly, the phone rang in the room, and Chu Ruofu immediately tried to get up in a panic.
Gu Junsheng said calmly, "It should be an intelligent robot that delivers the food."
He released her and let her off his lap.
Chu Ruofu's legs felt a little weak. She sat back on the sofa and watched Gu Junsheng get up to answer the phone and open the door to get the food.
The intelligent robot was particularly smart and cute. It delivered the meal to the guest room, politely said goodbye, and then left.
Gu Junsheng placed the delivered food on the table and said, "It's not suitable to eat oily or spicy food at night; it's bad for your stomach."
Chu Ruofu hummed in agreement, looked at the food on the table, picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. Gu Junsheng watched her eat, his gaze gentle.
After taking a few bites, Chu Ruofu asked him, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Gu Junsheng said calmly, "I'm not hungry."
Chu Ruofu, being watched by him while she ate, couldn't help but pay attention to her dining etiquette, making it difficult for her to eat freely. Gu Junsheng seemed to notice this, put his gold-rimmed glasses back on, looked down at his phone, and replied to a few messages.
With no one watching her eat, Chu Ruofu had a huge appetite and almost ate until she was stuffed.
After finishing his meal, Gu Junsheng put down his phone and tidied up the table briefly. It was already past eleven o'clock, and he had things to take care of tomorrow, so he got up.
"I'm going back next door. Call me if you need anything, and I'll come over."
Chu Ruofu looked at him with slight surprise. She thought something was going to happen, but Gu Junsheng actually wanted to go back to the next room after she finished eating.
"good."
She escorted Gu Junsheng to the door.
Before leaving, Gu Junsheng instructed her: "Lock the door, and remember to fasten the inner lock."
Chu Ruofu nodded: "I know, goodnight."
"Good night," Gu Junsheng said.
After closing the door, Chu Ruofu went into the bathroom and saw a woman in the mirror with slightly flushed cheeks and moist eyes. There's a saying that's true: a well-nourished woman is charming and beautiful.
After taking a shower and putting on a clean bathrobe, Chu Ruofu asked the waiter to come and take away her clothes. She lay on the bed, thinking she would have trouble falling asleep, but she quickly drifted off into a deep sleep.
She forgot to set an alarm to wake up, and the next day she woke up naturally. When she picked up her phone, it was 9:30 in the morning. She quickly sent messages to Gu Junsheng and the hotel staff, and then ran to the bathroom to wash up.
Not long after, someone brought back the clean and dried clothes. Chu Ruofu changed her clothes, and then there was a knock on the door.
Gu Junsheng timed it perfectly; she had just finished getting ready when he arrived.
"Good morning." Gu Junsheng asked casually, "Would you like to eat at the hotel, or somewhere else for breakfast?"
Chu Ruofu, still having some unresolved matters to attend to, and unwilling to go far, said, "Let's just have some breakfast at the hotel."
Gu Junsheng nodded: "Let's go."
After having breakfast at the hotel, Gu Junsheng drove her to the hospital and they visited the driver who had been arranged by the company. He had a mild concussion and was not in serious condition.
Xue Fangfei was completely relieved to know that Gu Junsheng was with her. She asked Gu Junsheng to accompany her to look for a house first, because she had been followed by a stalker yesterday, which led to a car accident. The video had caused a stir in the media, and she needed to deal with that.
She earned some money from appearing on a dating reality show, plus a magazine shoot and a small advertising endorsement. Now that she has a little more money in her pocket, she can consider moving to a place with a better environment and security.
The dating reality show became a huge hit, and her status rose. The company intends to find her an assistant, and the salaries of the driver and assistant will be deducted from her salary, which is a considerable expense every month.
She can't afford the expensive houses in good locations, and the cheaper ones don't offer enough privacy or security. She has to carefully consider both her travel and living environment. She's in a hurry to move, and it's difficult to find a place to settle down within a day.
Leaving the hospital, Chu Ruofu's face showed worry.
Gu Junsheng didn't start the car. He looked at her and asked in a gentle and calm tone, "What type of house are you looking for?"
He lives in Beijing year-round, and if possible, he hopes she will move there to develop her career. He owns several properties in Beijing, and he can put them in her name if she wishes.
Chu Ruofu may appear weak and obedient, seemingly easy to bully, but she is actually very stable at heart. When it comes to making important decisions, she is decisive and never makes a mistake.
Their relationship isn't deep enough right now, and she won't agree to become completely dependent on him.
"The floor shouldn't be too low or too high," Chu Ruofu said after careful consideration. "The price should be under five thousand, with good ventilation and lighting, close to the subway, and surrounded by shopping malls and supermarkets."
She looked at him and said, "Finding a house like this must be quite difficult."
Haicheng has high costs of living and expensive housing. She can't afford to buy a house right now. At best, she can rent a place for less than 5,000 yuan to make ends meet.
Gu Junsheng asked her to wait a moment, got out of the car, dialed his assistant's number, and put forward the conditions that Chu Ruofu wanted, asking his assistant to contact the real estate development boss he knew in Haicheng.
Soon, the assistant called back, saying that he did indeed have properties available and that Mr. Gu could have as many as he wanted, which would be given to him directly.
When someone is in a high position, whatever they want, people will automatically come to them and do everything they can to get it for them.
Gu Junsheng gave a few instructions over the phone, then returned to his car and said to Chu Ruofu, "I have a friend who happens to own several houses. I'll take you to see them now."
Chu Ruofu's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, "Are there really suitable houses?"
Gu Junsheng said gently, "My friend has a house that's currently vacant and he wants to rent it out. If you think it's suitable, you can sign the contract and move in today."
"That's wonderful!" Chu Ruofu was overjoyed.
Gu Junsheng's friend indeed owned several riverside apartments. The apartment was on the ninth floor, with two bedrooms and a living room. One bedroom was used for living, and the other could be used as a walk-in closet or study. The apartment was bright and airy, facing south, and offered a panoramic view of the city's nightscape.
The monthly rent was her estimated price, so she immediately signed the contract and could move her things over that afternoon.
Chu Ruofu directly called a moving company, and the professionals efficiently helped her move her things to her new home. Gu Junsheng was busy with his own business during the afternoon move, but he drove to her new home in the evening to pick her up for dinner.
Unlike in dating reality shows where one needs to consciously pay attention to their image and emotions, Chu Ruofu and Gu Junsheng are now familiar with each other and get along exceptionally naturally.
Gu Junsheng's business trip is over. He will stay in Haicheng for one more night and return to Beijing the next day.
After having dinner, the two took a walk along the river. Gu Junsheng drove to her new apartment building. When they parted, Chu Ruofu, as if possessed, asked him to stay at her new home.
As soon as she said it, she remembered that her house was a mess, with several cardboard boxes piled up in the living room.
Inviting a man to her home under these circumstances was clearly a deliberate and suggestive gesture. Her face flushed red, and she dared not look Gu Junsheng in the eye.
Gu Junsheng paused for half a second, then got out of the car and walked up to her with a calm expression.
"Let's go, I'll take you upstairs."
Chu Ruofu lowered her eyes and walked somewhat hurriedly. Gu Junsheng stretched out his long arm, grabbed her soft hand, and held it in his hand.
The two stood together in the elevator, their figures reflected in the mirror, making them look like a perfect couple.
Back at her new home, Chu Ruofu looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I haven't had time to tidy up yet, the house is a bit messy."
Gu Junsheng took off his suit jacket and draped it over his arm, saying, "It's still early, let me help you get ready."
Gu Junsheng was very efficient. He put his coat on the sofa, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and started doing the work for her. He quickly put the sorted items in their proper places.
Both of them were covered in sweat.
Chu Ruofu picked up a nightgown and said softly, "I'm going to take a shower."
Gu Junsheng asked her, "Where are the keys? I'm going out for a bit."
Chu Ruofu thought he was going out to get clothes, so she told him the key was in the entryway. After he took the key and went out, he went to the bathroom to shower, washed himself, applied lotion, and felt soft and fragrant all over.
There was a noise at the door, and Gu Junsheng returned carrying a bag.
Chu Ruofu peeked out of the bedroom, glanced at him, then retreated back into her room, lay on the bed for a while, leaving only a bedside lamp on in the bedroom.
With a click, the bedroom door closed.
Chu Ruofu was covered up completely, with only her head showing. Through the warm light, she looked at the tall, slender man, whose handsome face looked aloof and ascetic.
She actually brought a man home.
Chu Ruofu suddenly felt a little ashamed. Would he think she wasn't reserved enough? How could she have lost her mind? Perhaps Gu Junsheng had been seducing her all along. He could have gone back to Beijing today, but he still took her out to eat, went for a walk, and sent her home, then said he would go back to Beijing the next morning.
She was reluctant to see him leave.
She immediately closed her eyes when she sensed the man approaching.
Gu Junsheng saw the little bundle curled up on the bed, sat down beside it, and looked down at her: "Asleep?"
In the dim light, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing her nervousness.
Gu Junsheng's heart softened. He stroked her face, lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips, asking in a low voice, "Have you tried this before?"
Chu Ruofu opened her eyes: "...No."
Gu Junsheng pulled the blanket over her and said, "I don't have any either."
His kiss was gentle and caring, soothing her nervousness. Her eyes gradually became blurry, and her breathing became rapid and disordered.
Gu Junsheng's gentleness was tinged with a strong, unyielding nature.
Chu Ruofu felt like a small boat on the sea, uncontrollably being lifted up by huge waves and thrown high into the air, drifting with the current, constantly rising and falling.
He said he had never tried it before, so why did it take so long?
