An arm is no match for a thigh, so, the one to cook in the kitchen was still Jian Ran.The fridge was stocked with every ingredient needed, and all the utensils were brand new.
Jian Ran effortlessly whipped up a few of her specialties.
The villa had a clay pot, so she used it to stew a pot of spare rib soup.
The bright sunshine streamed through the window onto the busy Jian Ran, making the woman appear all the more gentle and warm.
When Gu Mochen entered the kitchen, he looked somewhat distracted.
Ever since he moved into Linhai Villa, the kitchen was practically ornamental; he had never cooked there.
Today, after picking up Jian Ran from the street, on a whim, he wanted to watch the woman cook in his home.
That feeling was indeed very warm and cozy.
Ever since his mother passed away, many years had gone by without such warmth.
It made him irresistibly want to step forward and take her into his arms.
After eating the meal Jian Ran prepared, even the cuisine from a five-star hotel seemed tasteless to him.
Gu Mochen quietly gazed at Jian Ran, not knowing how much time had passed.
After Jian Ran confirmed the soup was ready, she picked it up with a cloth, and as she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Gu Mochen’s figure.
The man’s deep, captivating gaze caused Jian Ran’s hand to slip.
“Ah…”
Caught off guard, the freshly cooked spare rib soup crashed to the floor, and part of it splashed onto Jian Ran’s legs.
The scalding temperature made Jian Ran in intense pain, causing her complexion to turn pale.
Seeing this, Gu Mochen’s expression tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to take Jian Ran directly into his arms.
“Don’t touch the wound, cool it down first.”
Jian Ran was rapidly scooped up by Gu Mochen around her waist and headed straight for the bathroom.
Upon reaching the bathroom, Jian Ran was quickly placed on the edge of the bathtub.
She then saw Gu Mochen use the shower head to spray cold water onto her injured thigh.
This…
“Gu Mochen, it’s not necessary, my skin is tough, no need to fuss over it.”
“If it’s not treated now, it could lead to a second-degree burn.”
“I…”
Jian Ran tried to say something but noticed the man frowning with a serious look, bending down to spray her legs with cold water, then using his slender, fair fingers to test the temperature.
Jian Ran felt somewhat in a daze, observing the earnest man – so disinterested yet so focused, all of which were charming.
After cooling for a while, Jian Ran quietly asked, “Is it okay now?”
“Yes, I’ll carry you to apply some ointment, and you’ll be fine after I apply it.”
“Okay.”
Her legs, dampened by the water, revealed perhaps a bit too much, causing Jian Ran’s face to blush slightly.
She quickly grabbed a towel to cover her legs, simultaneously drying them.
Gu Mochen then swiftly carried Jian Ran to the bedroom on the second floor.
As they entered the room, a scent of musk filled the air, identical to Gu Mochen’s own scent.
Originally expecting a typical room, she had not anticipated it to be Gu Mochen’s bedroom.
The man’s bedroom was decorated in a dark European style, simplistic and elegant, quite neat and professional.
Jian Ran’s complexion changed slightly, and she was directly placed onto the large bed by Gu Mochen.
Soon after, she heard the man’s magnetic voice.
“I’m going to cut open your pants now to apply the medicine; do you have any issue with that?”
Facing the man’s deep, hawk-like eyes, Jian Ran found herself at a loss for words for a moment.
“No.”
Jian Ran looked at Gu Mochen with sympathy as he cut open his own pants with scissors, slicing directly up to the thigh.
The originally fair skin was now a patch of red, and it was fortunate that Gu Mochen had quickly cooled it with water, or it may have blistered.
The skin was fair, as delicate as cream; Gu Mochen squinted his eyes and spread the ointment on his hands before gently rubbing it onto the woman’s thigh.
As Jian Ran gasped in pain, Gu Mochen softened his touch once again.
Even though it was an undeniably intimate act, the man’s expression was cold and serious, which made it seem all too normal.
“It’s done.
Remember not to get it wet after we go back.”
“Mhm.”
Jian Ran looked at what had been full-length pants now reduced to shorts, and her heart instantly cooled by half.
If it weren’t for Gu Mochen’s sudden appearance, she wouldn’t have slipped.
After all, it was the man who was the real culprit.
Today, she and Gu Mochen had really struggled over a pair of pants.
The medication hadn’t been a problem at first, but now after applying it, the atmosphere felt strangely ambiguous and awkward.
“Mr.
Gu, let’s go down to eat.
The food must be getting cold,” she said.
After finishing her words, Jian Ran tried to stand up, but her legs were so painful that she uncontrollably leaned backward.
Gu Mochen’s expression tightened as he prepared to help her up, only to be pulled down with her.
“Ah…”
“Be careful.”
Man on top, woman below!
Jian Ran’s mind went blank for a moment…
The man’s sturdy chest pressed against her, his muscles taut and lean.
Their gazes met in midair, and then Jian Ran heard the man’s playful voice by her ear.
“Mrs.
Gu, may I interpret this as an invitation from you?
Hmm?”
“I don’t know…
Mr.
Gu, your comprehension seems rather poor.”
Jian Ran forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, her long hair spreading over the soft bed, creating an enchanting and intimate scene.
Desire swirled in the man’s dark eyes, and Jian Ran’s heart skipped a beat as she frantically tried to struggle.
“Jian Ran, I am a normal man,” he said.
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran’s scalp tingled with the sensation of being a lamb trapped in a tiger’s den, with no escape.
The next moment, the man’s large hand grasped the back of her head, and then his thin lips descended.
Even more, Gu Mochen deliberately tilted her head up, making it easier for him to take what he wanted.
Jian Ran clenched her teeth, and the next moment felt the man’s hand on her waist tighten.
Certain images flashed through her mind, and Jian Ran felt the man’s intense gaze envelop her.
Jian Ran wanted to flee, but was pressed closely by the man’s robust body.
Jian Ran’s complexion shifted slightly, but the man kissed her deeper still.
The temperature in the room suddenly rose, growing hot…
The next second, Gu Mochen’s hand rested on the woman’s waist, tearing open the buttons of her business suit.
Jian Ran: “…”
