Gu Yunzhi’s body stiffened. Her words seemed to awaken the nerves and facts that had been lost in her tenderness. He slowly removed her hands, slowly creating distance between them, and said with a bitter smile, “As you saw, I have a family, a wife. Little Ye, I can’t hurt you…” Despite the fact that the girl in front of him was so captivating!
However, during their second unexpected encounter in Zhuhai, her ability to be both dynamic and static, her unpretentious demeanor, and her pure and clear state of mind left a deep impression on him. Especially after hearing from Yun Lei that this young girl had been supporting herself by writing books and articles all these years, he felt an inexplicable tenderness. When he saw her so fragile and touching, constantly calling his name while burning with fever, he involuntarily developed a desire to protect and care for her. With this thought, their fourth meal together became natural. The warm scene of her tying an apron and serving him soup made him secretly fall for her. That warmth, that tenderness, made him linger and yearn.
However, he was rational and mature. Given his age and experience, he knew that their relationship couldn’t continue like this. Not to mention the moral issues, with his status as a married man, their love could never bring happiness to Chu Ao. So, he could only withdraw.
“Chu Ao, you’re too young, and I no longer have the qualifications for romance. So,” he frowned, “we can’t continue like this…”
“Chu Ao stood stunned, bitterness growing in her heart.
Seeing her desperate eyes, Gu Yanzhi felt a painful twist in his chest. But he turned away in silence.
As he reached the door, Chu Ao suddenly rushed over. Before Gu Yanzhi could react, she tightly embraced him. He struggled, “Little Ao, don’t do this…”
But Chu Ao didn’t let go. She stood on tiptoe and unexpectedly kissed him, knocking their teeth together and causing him to groan. Taking advantage of this moment, she deepened the kiss, passionately kissing him with her eyes fixed on his surprised gaze.
Gu Yanzhi was bewildered. He hadn’t expected Chu Ao to be so bold. “Girl, you’re playing with fire!” He broke free from her, his breath uneven.
