Chapter 49

Gu Anhao seemed to be totally ignorant of what had happened even though Zuo Hancheng threw the cell phone at the corner of the sofa. Gu Anhao leaned her head against Zuo Hancheng’s chest in a confused state.

When Zuo Hancheng picked up the ice pack and applied it against her cheek, Gu Anhao shuddered and frowned before she buried herself in his arms as she mumbled, “I am sorry…”

Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Anhao who was resting in his arms. Gu Anhao should feel grateful that she was drunk. Otherwise, he did not know how she was going to sleep tonight!

“Who are you apologizing to?” Gu Anhao could hear a lukewarm voice coming from above her head.

Anhao sniffled as she raised her head to look at Zuo Hancheng. After that, she raised her hand and touched his face as she grinned, “I am apologizing to you.” Zuo Hancheng glared at her with a cold expression on his face because he was amazed that she could still lie when she was already drunk.

Was she already sober?

“Sit up straight and look at me,” Zuo Hancheng instructed.

However, it seemed as though Gu Anhao really did not have any strength to raise her head at all. She could only lean against him in a weak and helpless manner.

Zuo Hancheng lifted up her chin, forcing her to look right into his eyes. Gu Anhao could not stop herself from shivering when she looked into his cold and indifferent eyes. She turned her head away so that she could free her chin from his hand and rubbed her eyes before closing it. “I am so sleepy…”

Zuo Hancheng let out a huge sigh before he grabbed her by her bathrobe and pulled her up from the sofa. “Go to bed and sleep if you are tired. Come, let your husband coax you to sleep.”

Zuo Hancheng brought Gu Anhao to his bedroom as though she was a little lamb. This time, Gu Anhao was holding her bathrobe tightly against her body so that it would not come loose again.

However, as soon as the both of them arrived at the bedroom door, Zuo Hancheng stopped in an abrupt manner.

Gu Anhao subconsciously raised her hand to push the door open as she was about to walk in. As soon as she touched the door knob, she was suddenly turned around by a strong force.

Gu Anhao was so startled that she turned pale immediately as her body was forcefully pressed against the wall. She was staring right into Zuo Hancheng’s cold and handsome face.

She instinctively raised her hands to defend herself so that she could put some distance between the both of them but she could not push him away. Therefore, she was forced to look right into his eyes.

“When did you sober up? Were you pretending to be drunk all this while?”

Zuo Hancheng looked down at the young girl who was pressed against the doorway. Gu Anhao’s body was stiff and she looked extremely pale because she was feeling so nervous. Her red and swollen left cheek contrasted with the overall fairness of her face. Moreover, Gu Anhao raised one of her hands to block their bodies from touching as she desperately held onto her bathrobe with her other hand, out of fear for what he might do to her.

“Weren’t you blatantly trying to seduce me earlier? What is going on now? Are you sober already?”

Zuo Hancheng increased his grasp on her chin and Gu Anhao could only wince in pain before she replied, “I woke up… when I fell off the sofa…”

Zuo Hancheng stared at her with a cold and indifferent expression on his face as he said, “So, you heard everything that I said on the phone?”

Gu Anhao could not avoid his gaze and she had no choice but to nod her head. “Yes, I heard everything.”

“Very good. This means that I do not need to wait until morning to listen to the lies that you are going to tell me.”

After that, Zuo Hancheng trapped Gu Anhao between his body and the doorway leading into the bedroom.

Gu Anhao felt as though Zuo Hancheng was a vicious villain who was oppressing her but she knew that she would not be able to get out of this situation. She could feel his cold eyes staring right at her.
