“You…”

Gu Jinglian immediately interrupted, “Shh, don’t speak.”

Chu He didn’t quite understand what he wanted. Even though she was being pinned down by Gu Jinglian, he was supporting part of his own weight on his arms so that he didn’t rest his entire weight on her. The man sized her up, inch by inch, with a rare gentle gaze.

Scenes flashed through her mind, like a revolving lantern.

The first time they met, she stood before him, respectful though aloof, and cold like a machine. At that time, Gu Jinglian could already tell that this woman was no ordinary person. Later on, he realized that she was an undercover agent sent by the Interpol to lurk around him, to gather evidence and track him. However he did not expose her in a hurry. He gave her a chance. If she had given up her identity as a spy, he would not have killed her.

Logically speaking, given his personality, he would definitely have killed such a woman for betraying and deceiving him. However, for some compassionate reason, he did not. Except, Chu He also did not abandon her duty as an Interpol officer.

Thus, he made his move.

At that time, he was cold and decisive and didn’t leave any room for retreat. Unexpectedly, she didn’t die and on top of that, was found to be pregnant.

It was his child.

Their reunion five years later was unexpected but not surprising..

He was taken aback that their child was already five years old. The child’s name was Baby Chu. When Gu Jinglian heard this name, he had no idea how to react. This name sounded a little old-fashioned although he eventually got used to it!

Later on, Chu He went to North Africa in the attempt to locate him. She came to him alone, amidst the crossfires of a war that had broken out.

Gu Jinglian was not expecting her. When he saw her, he was puzzled.

He thought that if he had died in North Africa, Chu He would feel relieved and leave the Gu family home with Baby Chu. Unexpectedly, she had come to North Africa to look for him.

The two of them fought for their lives as they made their way through North Africa.

At that time, on-board the vessel returning to the capital city, Gu Jinglian had already set his mind on her. He had decided that this would be his woman.

…

Gu Jinglian sized her up.

Chu He asked him uneasily, “What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like this?”

However, in the next second, Gu Jinglian’s thin lips gently covered hers and kissed her tenderly. He gently pried her soft lips apart and slid his tongue in. For the first time in his life, he took the initiative and kissed her so tenderly.

Initially, Chu He was frozen by the sudden kiss and did not dare to move. But gradually, she warmed to it and responded to him.

When they kissed, the chemistry between them was unparalleled. Sensing her response, Gu Jinglian deepened his kiss. He took her hands and slid them around himself. Chu He smiled and closed her eyes, taking his lead and deepening her kiss as well.

Gu Jinglian turned around and positioned her onto himself, placing his hands against the back of her neck.

Chu He’s black hair fell down and covered his eyes.

The room was beautifully lit.

On the bed, the couple embraced each other tightly as they kissed, as though merging as one…
