C2 Let's Discuss This Properly

Ann Xiaomin's mind was racing with one thought: escape from this nightmare. As soon as she broke free from Gu Junbai's grasp, she jumped off the bed and made a dash for it.

Gu Junbai, now thoroughly annoyed, chased after her. He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, looking every bit like a predator ready to pounce.

"Don't waste your energy. It's a fingerprint lock. No one can open it but me."

His words shattered Ann's last hope. She panted, retreating as he advanced, step by step.

"Stay back. We can talk this out..."

In the struggle, her dress had torn, revealing more than she intended. Her innocent face and clear, bright eyes made even Gu Junbai, who had seen his share of beautiful women, breathe heavily. The heat within him was becoming uncontrollable.

He was usually very disciplined, but something felt off. Suddenly, it hit him.

His grandfather, Gu Hong, had drugged him to ensure an heir. Damn it.

Gu Junbai had only meant to tease Ann, but now his eyes were filled with desire.

Ann could sense his rising tension, and her fear only grew.

"Stay back! I... I know Taekwondo, and I won't hesitate to use it if you come any closer."

"Is that so? Well, I guess I'll have to see for myself." Since things had escalated to this point, Gu Junbai wasn't about to hold back.

Ann Xiaomin watched him warily. As he approached, she turned to flee, but he was tall and quick, effortlessly catching her slender wrist.

Furious and indignant, Ann Xiaomin struggled. "Don't touch me."

"Tonight, I have to," he said, roughly tossing her onto the bed and leaning over her with surprising agility for someone supposedly still recovering from an injury.

If Ann Xiaomin hadn't been so panicked, she might have noticed that Gu Junbai's half-bared chest and strong arms were flawlessly smooth, especially his hands, which were long and clean, not at all like those of someone who had been burned.

"Gu Junbai, you can't do this to me."

Ann Xiaomin was in no way prepared to share a bed with a man she barely knew, even if he was her husband in name.

Gu Junbai's long fingers gently brushed her delicate, smooth cheek, making Ann Xiaomin shiver uncontrollably.

"This is called romance, and you started it. You're quite good at playing hard to get."

"Romance, my foot! Only a fool would play hard to get with you, you jerk. Let go of me right now."

Gu Junbai held her chin, forcing her to face him, his voice chilly. "Since you've married into this, be prepared to submit. Remember, you asked for this."

Unable to endure, Gu Junbai fiercely kissed her, catching her off guard, delving into her deepest being.

Tears welled up in Ann Xiaomin's eyes. His relentless kiss made her give up struggling. "I never expected you to still be a virgin. Enduring all this for this moment, or is there more to come?" His voice hoarse.

Judging from her reaction, he confirmed she was indeed a first-timer, but her stiff posture was disappointing.

Ignoring her resistance and her biting words, Gu Junbai smirked down at her. "None of your damn business."

To her surprise, Gu Junbai showed no anger. He leaned in, speaking wickedly in her ear. "None of your bird business."
