He suddenly leaned over and covered her mouth with his thin lips . His tongue hooked and suckled on hers seriously and carefully . He then took another rough bite at her lips, asking, “Why? You seem to like him?”

She hurriedly shook her head .

She had never entertained any ideas about Gu Xingze .

The man gave her an eerie laugh before he aimed a bite at her lip corner . She retracted in pain but was pulled even closer to him by his arm .

“Don"t let him touch you again, then!” Gloom exuded from him and from his every word .

Her lashes flickered in fear as he continued frostily . “You had better remember that you are my woman . I don"t like anyone touching my woman! This is not allowed even if it"s for your job!”

“I… I understand . There won"t be a next time!” Her voice was quaking .

“There won"t be a next time!” He barked another warning .

He looked over his shoulder and put the car in reverse with a strong jerk .

Her heart, which was hanging in suspension, seemed to "return" to safety on the road together with the car .

Once the vehicle hit the safe zone, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door to get out, and fell sitting on the ground . Her knees then propped her chest as her legs gave way .

Her tummy had churned upside down with the crazy speeding .

It felt terrible . She clapped her chest to regurgitate, but she only felt gastric juice climb up to her throat each time .

Along with the acidic juice in her throat, tears flooded her eyes without hesitation . She was in a really bad shape .

The man pushed open the car door and walked out slowly . He turned to look at her and then walked over in her direction!

She heard the footsteps behind her and quickly flung up from the ground . Her eyes watched him guardingly as she backed away from him .

The cold mountain wind ruffled and messed her hair .

He stood before her with his long and lean body, his black shirt almost integrating with the darkness of the night .

The foggy light from the coupe was especially glaring .

Against the lights of the car and the moonlight, the man"s distinct silhouette cast a dense shadow on the ground . His icy eyes, which were directed on her, shone through his tousled fringe .

Although it was still in June, the wind in the hinterland was cold and biting at night .

Still, the wind was not as cold as the icy glint in his eyes .

The hilly roads were barricaded, and except for them, no one else allowed to enter .

Here, he was the ruler .

He walked over to her, bowed slightly, and tried to grip her wrist .

Due to her subconscious fear, she abruptly avoided his action and slapped off his hand the moment his cool fingertips touched her skin .

SMACK!

His hand was slapped to one side .

It was as if her submission earlier was just an act to defuse his anger .

Looking at the man"s cold and menacing face, she kept retreating from him . Thoughts of his despicable behavior and Mu Wanrou"s taunting flashed across her mind . Her heart hurt as her hatred for him intensified .

His face changed instantly . “What?”

“Don"t touch me . ”

She put a distance between them, thinking of making a clean break with him once and for all!

Pursing his lips tightly, he ignored her words and moved closer to her .

“Don"t come near me!”

She backed a few more steps and broke down in distress, screaming, “Don"t touch me, Mu Yazhe! I don"t want you!”
