Chapter 21

As she was about to lash out, he lowered his head and sealed her lips that were about to speak. When she struggled to escape from his grasp, his hand moved to hold the nape of her neck as he slid his tongue through her lips, savouring the taste of her.

“Uh…!” With her heart pounding like crazy, Anhao hammered his shoulders in a panicked state. “No… No… Uh…”

The man held her down tightly, but she relentlessly hit him back. After struggling for a couple of times, Anhao vaguely felt that the pajamas she was wearing were being taken off.

One by one, he neutralized all of her attacks, which greatly pissed her off. This in turn caused her to give him a stinging bite when he was kissing her.

Anhao did not realize how hard she had bitten him until she tasted blood in her mouth.

But lucky for her, her tactic worked somehow as Zuo Hancheng let go of her lips. She quickly turned away, avoiding his gaze and his kiss, choking on her words as she said, “I told you that I would listen to you, but I’m not ready yet! Zuo Hancheng, how could you do this to me?!”

The man who was suppressing her stopped what he originally intended to do. With bloodshot eyes, Anhao pushed him away with all her might. “Get off me…”

Below the man, the girl’s forceful resistance was the seed that truly ignited his desire. Witnessing the redness of her eyes, Zuo Hancheng finally realized what he had just done to her.

Intending to tease her at first, he failed to realize that he got too carried away, lost in his lustful desires. He had always been a man that was able to control his desires well, yet just moments ago he had almost taken her right there and then against her will.

Anhao thought that there was no way for her to escape. After all, she was his wife, and acting like this was not something a wife should do. However, she was truly not ready. Besides… Besides…

Besides, she had a reason that she had kept to herself all these years, one that she did not even want to think about.

She felt the man bury his head between her neck and collarbone, his scorching breath peppered on her neck, making her all tingly and numb. At this moment, she had no idea what she should do.

Until he had stabilized his breathing; until he withdrew himself from her body all of a sudden.

When her body felt a sudden chill, Anhao then instinctively gathered up both her clothes and blanket before sitting up.

In a state of confusion, Zuo Hancheng left the bed in an instant after seeing her in that seemingly helpless state. She did not expect him to actually stop what he was doing, she hugged herself under the blanket while watching him walk out of the bedroom.

Then, she touched her lips, and on it was his blood that had flowed out when she bit him just now…

Anhao could not help but shiver upon thinking about how hard she had bitten him, realizing that she might have gone slightly overboard.

However, if she did not do that, then perhaps Zuo Hancheng would have made a real woman out of her. After all, she saw the self-control and forbearance in his eyes the moment he got up from the bed.

While alone in her thoughts, she was stunned as she suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and proceeded to turn toward the door. ‘Is he… taking the legendary cold shower?’

When Zuo Hancheng walked out of the bathroom, Anhao had already straightened her pajamas and was cowering under the blanket with only her eyes and forehead visible, covertly glancing at him.

She was relieved upon noticing that the wound on his lip did not seem too serious. There were no traces of anger on his face either, like he had already calmed down. By the time he returned to the bed, she could feel the coolness of his body. Without much thought, she gently tugged at his sleeve and asked, “You… you… you took a cold shower?”
