Chapter 46 - 46 45 Dreaming Again He Holds Her

?46: Chapter 45: Dreaming Again, He Holds Her 46: Chapter 45: Dreaming Again, He Holds Her The silence was terrifying.

Only the man’s cell phone continued to vibrate.

If he hadn’t controlled himself, he feared he might have strangled this woman to death.

Never before had anyone dared to provoke him like this, to enrage him.

And never before had anyone been able to stir his emotions so easily.

In front of Tang Xi, he seemed like a living person.

Not like the cold and indifferent man who always wore a mask.

The light slowly faded from the woman’s eyes.

Finally, there was only silence, as still as the surface of Mirror Lake.

Fu Tingzhou’s fingers couldn’t help but tremble.

He slowly released his grip.

Fu Tingzhou seemed to be suppressing his emotions forcibly, “You want to die?

That would be too easy for you.

I’ve already given you the money you wanted.

Don’t forget our agreement; there are still two months left.”

Tang Xi opened her eyes.

She coughed a few times as she touched the sore spot on her neck where she had been choked.

The temperature here was very low, and she shivered from the cold.

The moment the man’s coat landed on her face, she shivered again.

His coat was damp.

It was filled with moisture and cold air.

Uncomfortable against the skin.

But without the coat, it was even colder.

And she didn’t even have a single piece of clothing on…

Her gaze fell on the blue dress scattered on the ground.

Fu Tingzhou turned and strode out.

Watching his departing figure, Tang Xi instinctively opened her mouth.

If she were left here alone, she might freeze to death tonight.

But in her current state…

Gradually, the cold made Tang Xi’s consciousness blur.

She leaned against the bed, curling up and hugging herself tightly.

Consciousness slowly faded…

Suddenly, the cabin door was kicked open from the outside, as if bearing the impatience of its owner.

A soft and warm object enveloped her.

Tang Xi opened her eyes, appearing astonished as she looked at the man in front of her.

Hadn’t he left?

Why had he come back?

The clothes on the man were still wet.

He had a stern face, “What are you looking at?

Do you really want to freeze to death here?

If you can walk, then do so.

Do you expect me to carry you?”

Tang Xi held tightly onto the blanket on her body, finally feeling a little warmer.

She got out of bed, her feet seeming to have lost all sensation.

She had no idea when her shoes had disappeared.

The man walked a few steps and then stopped, “Dilly-dallying, can’t you walk faster?”

Tang Xi struggled to keep up with him.

Descending from the cabin, her feet touched the soft, damp sand.

She felt as if her whole body had been frozen, her feet stiff and unsure how to move.

Fu Tingzhou stood three meters away, scolding in a low voice, “Such a hassle.”

He walked over and hoisted her up in his arms.

From this angle, Tang Xi could see the man’s perfectly contoured jawline.

Tang Xi felt as if the entire night had been a dream.

She dreamed that she had fallen into the water and that Fu Tingzhou had saved her.

She dreamed that Fu Tingzhou had bitten her lip and forcefully taken possession of her.

And she dreamed that he held her and took her to a warm room.

–

After taking a shower, Fu Tingzhou stepped out of the bathroom with water still on his palms, which seemed to sting particularly at that moment.

He frowned.

Looking at the wound in his palm that had been soaked raw by seawater, white and devoid of fresh blood, it was a hideously torn mess.

He hastily patched himself up with the medical kit.

On the bed, the woman started to sleep restlessly.

Muttering sleep talk.

He frowned and walked over.

Only to hear her utter in her dreams…

“Xiao Chi…

Shiyue….

my brother, he…”

Fu Tingzhou clenched his fists, the wound that had been tended to began to bleed again, slowly staining the bandage red.

He really wanted to strangle the woman in her sleep right there and then.

Time and time again, she tested his limits.

Indeed so cheap, even in sleep not forgetting men.

Xiao Chi, Xiao Chi!

If she liked Xiao Chi so much, she might as well leave for good!

He actually found such a woman interesting, Fu Tingzhou, you must be insane.

The man stepped out onto the balcony, his pupils crimson, chain-smoking several cigarettes in a row.

This woman, to actually disturb his emotions.

Truly ridiculous!

Ridiculous, and absurd.

After a whole pack of cigarettes, the man returned to his usual indifferent demeanor.

–

The next early morning.

The woman lying in the bed opened her eyes.

Her blurred vision gradually became clear as she looked around at all the unfamiliar things.

The air was filled with a strange yet familiar masculine scent.

She was stunned for a moment.

Then she sat up, the thin blanket slipping off her, and Tang Xi, realizing what had happened last night, blushed.

Afterward, she looked at the bedroom in front of her, not her own.

It was clear that a man’s bedroom was even more upscale and luxurious.

The faint aroma of ebony lingered in the air.

Tang Xi knew this was Fu Tingzhou’s bedroom.

Only now, to her surprise, he hadn’t left her behind…

Instead, he had brought her back with him.

Thinking back to the events of last night, had he not saved her, she truly might have drowned in Mirror Lake.

A throbbing pain came from her forehead; Tang Xi raised her hand to rub her temples, her gaze sweeping the room.

The bedroom was decorated to suit a man’s tastes, probably his exclusive apartment; everything here was pervaded with a cold presence, just like him.

She got out of bed, trying to find some clothes to wear.

No clothes, how would she go out…

“Click” a sound.

The sound of the door opening, Tang Xi was startled.

The man walked out of the bathroom.

His smoke-colored bathrobe loosely tied around his waist, hinting at his well-defined abs.

He lifted his hand, casually wiping his hair.

His gaze, dark as ink, scanned over the woman’s fair skin, and his pupils darkened instantly.

Tang Xi, realising she was unclothed and marked with last night’s intimacy, blushed and almost the next second dove back under the covers, clutching the blanket tight to conceal herself.

“Hmph.” Watching her panic-stricken like a rabbit, the man scoffed disdainfully.

It wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen it before.

Remembering how this woman played around several men, he found her current demeanor nothing but hypocritical.

What was she pretending to be innocent for, thinking she could deceive him once more?

“Why…

why are you here?” The woman bit her lip firmly.

“This is my bedroom, you tell me why am I here?” Fu Tingzhou picked up a cigarette from the bedside table, lit it up, and his gaze brushed over the pale, naked curve of her back, where faint bruises were visible, recalling last night’s madness on the abandoned boat.

A shadow fell over his eyes but seeing her now, he felt an unequivocal physical desire.

On this matter, he had never had excessive desires, the only two times were with the woman before him.

Fu Tingzhou’s private life was exceptionally clean, and though he met many women, not one could arouse his physical interest.

But this woman he despised, so easily stirred different emotions within him.

Undeniably, he did not find Tang Xi’s body repulsive, in fact…

he was somewhat addicted.

Looking at her exposed skin, like white snow in the dark of night, her slender waist reminded him of last night…

The man took a harsh drag of his cigarette, the blue-white smoke veiling his face, “Remember to take medicine last night.”
