Chapter 392 - You’re My Girl (3)

The bathtub in the apartment was a freestanding retro-style with double insulation and self-cleaning functions. It was a little boat built on a solid wood base. If necessary, the base could rock the tub like a cradle and the user would be submerged in the bath and rocked like a baby. Gu Nianzhi rubbed her back as she put out a hand to test the water temperatures. Suddenly, a solid warmth enveloped her from the back—Huo Shaoheng was hugging her from behind. He bent down and began kissing her fiercely on the back of her neck. Although they just had been intimate, Gu Nianzhi was still not used to being so close to him. Prying his large hand off of her waist, she stammered, “I-I want to take a bath; can you let go for now?”

“No.” Huo Shaoheng relentlessly peppered kisses on her back, from her delicate neck to her shoulder bones, trailing down further and further—he was patiently and slowly showing his affection. Huo Shaoheng found Gu Nianzhi’s back to be very attractive: she had a small frame and her full figure was pleasantly plump. The skin on her back was soft and a gentle groove where her spine was gave it the appearance of a leaf stem. A small dimple was at the bottom of her spine. Huo Shaoheng left bright red love bites down her back until he stopped at the dimple.

Gu Nianzhi grasped the edge of the bathtub with both hands, gasping, the rough and tender kisses from his playful lips causing her to arch her back. “No...stop it. I...I want to take a bath...please.” Her body was slick with the sweat from their love making and she wanted to wash it off immediately.

“Take a bath? You can do that later; why bother with it now?” Huo Shaoheng murmured as he pulled her to him. He was done resisting her.

Gu Nianzhi completely relaxed with Huo Shaoheng. Her body stretched and twisted, the happiness of connecting their bodies so passionately mutual to Huo Shaoheng as well. Fireworks seemed to bloom in her head as he pinned her down and they moved faster; Gu Nianzhi’s body shuddered at her heightened sensitivity to his insistent touch, his unyielding grasp locking her within his hot embrace. She cradled his head as her hips pressed into him. She could see the light, the stars even, and finally saw Huo Shaoheng’s face as she stood on the precipice of happiness. Tremulous pleasure rippled up and down her body and she gave out a long, broken moan as he groaned into her ear. Reaching out to touch him more, she lost her balance and found herself leaning against the bathtub, wilted. Huo Shaoheng blinked away the lust from just before as he realized that Gu Nianzhi had let go. Quickly supporting her waist, he held her in his arms and then stuck his hand into the bathtub to check that it was full. He placed Gu Nianzhi into the water and when they both sat in the tub, the water overflowed everywhere. Fully exhausted, Gu Nianzhi had no energy to be concerned about the cleanliness of the bathroom.

Leaning against Huo Shaoheng’s chest lazily, she whimpered, “I can’t anymore.” Huo Shaoheng ignored her and took out a bath sponge to clean her. Anxious by his touch, Gu Nianzhi asked, “What are you doing now?”

“Stop moving. I’m just cleaning you.” Huo Shaoheng’s voice was especially low; if they hadn’t been so close together, she wouldn’t have noticed his own erratic breathing. So there were times when he was riled up too... Tenderness surged in Gu Nianzhi’s heart. She relaxed her body and gripped Huo Shaoheng’s hand before saying gently yet firmly, “I’ll do it myself.”

Huo Shaoheng paused. “Ok.”

Gu Nianzhi struggled out of his grip frantically and said shyly, “I’ll have to take a shower after, ok?”

Huo Shaoheng finally let go when he turned around to see that even her ears were red. He leaned back on the bathtub headrest, unable to take his eyes off of Gu Nianzhi’s back. Wrapping an arm around Gu Nianzhi to stop her from moving about on his leg, he laughed quietly. “What? Are you uncomfortable?”

“No...” Gu Nianzhi adjusted herself on Huo Shaoheng’s leg to find a comfortable spot. She grumbled, “Can you leave?”

Huo Shaoheng smiled and leaned forward to nip at her ear. “You don’t want me to stay? Hmm?”

Gu Nianzhi blushed and her heart hammered madly from the flirtatious words. If her waist hadn’t been captured by his annoying strength, she would have already turned around and jump on him instead. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the stamina. She turned around to sit face to face with Huo Shaoheng and leaned into his chest, their foreheads touching. Caressing his face from his forehead down to his sculpted nose and full lips, she whispered, “I’ve always thought about how you’d have me but... I had never expected it to be like this.”

Huo Shaoheng pecked her fingers with his lips. “You don’t like it?”

“I do.” Gu Nianzhi drew out. “But what I would like even more would be to take take a shower... in private.”

“Then we can do it again after you wash up.” Huo Shaoheng “agreed” to her request fluidly.

“As if!” Gu Nianzhi raised her brow, “I can’t anymore today, Huo Shao!” Gu Nianzhi turned away, incredibly embarrassed. “My waist hurts..”

Huo Shaoheng could only quell the desire in his heart as he carefully said, “Another day then.”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes grew misty at the thought of having sex with him again.

Huo Shaoheng kissed her nose. “Don’t look at me like that, otherwise I might lose control.”

Quickly averting her gaze, Gu Nianzhi smiled secretly. She leaned against Huo Shaoheng’s chest and wrote with her finger on his skin, pouting sadly. “My first time was in the shower.”

“Why are you so hung up your first time?” Huo Shaoheng shook his head, “I don’t care about that.”

( .c om ) “You don’t care?” Gu Nianzhi looked up. “Even if my first time was with someone else?”

“How could that be? Your first time was with me.” Huo Shaoheng tried to ignore his annoyance and calmly interjected, “It’s fine as long as I know it was your first time.”

“But, I heard that girls bleed after their first time.” Gu Nianzhi frowned. “I couldn’t even see if I bled just now.”

Huo Shaoheng was careful not to disclose the fact that he had, in fact, been her first time. She wouldn’t be ready for that knowledge just yet. Instead, he silently shook his head as he stroked her hair.

” You really don’t care?” Gu Nianzhi shot him a sidelong glance. “It really was my first time!”

“I know.” Huo Shaoheng composed himself and hugged her. “Actually, you can go ask Chen Lie. Not all women bleed when the lose their virginity.”

Gu Nianzhi grew anxious, “What? Who told you that?”

“Scientific research shows that only 75% of women bleed after their first time, while 35% don’t. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t virgins.” Huo Shaoheng smiled. “So you don’t really have to use whether you “bled” or not to prove if you are a virgin. Besides, don’t you already know that for yourself?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course I do.” Gu Nianzhi pouted. “I just wanted you to truly know.”

“I know as well.” Huo Shaoheng thought about it and leaned over to whisper in Gu Nianzhi’s ear. “I know everything, really.”

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help lowering her head to look at Huo Shaoheng’s private area.

“No point in looking. I already washed it off earlier,” Huo Shaoheng said brazenly. “Can you relax now?”

“As long as you know.” Gu Nianzhi smiled sweetly before falling in his arms again to enjoy their intimacy. “Do you like being with me?” She asked quietly, trying to gauge his reaction.

“Why would I be with you if I don’t like you? Am I stupid?” Huo Shaoheng rubbed noses with her. “Also, I don’t have that much time to date. Are you willing to be with me and not mind how boring I am?”

“How could that be?” Gu Nianzhi immediately launched into a speech: “Huo Shao is handsome and capable, funny and flirty, and you’re also so good at sex—”

“Little brown-noser.” Huo Shaoheng laughed and kissed Gu Nianzhi’s lips. “Remember that we’re together now, so don’t mind what people say. If the words get ugly, argue with them. If there’s trouble, have them find me.”

Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed by his words and hugged him tightly, her body entwined around him. She whispered honeyed words in his ear and finally announced that she wouldn’t embarrass him.

Huo Shaoheng pat her face gently and closed his eyes in relaxation. After the bath, he lifted her out of the bathtub. Snuggling into the blankets, Gu Nianzhi took out her black long sleeved T-shirt to wear and turned around to see Huo Shaoheng put his belt on. She froze. “Huo Shao, are you leaving?”

Huo Shaoheng looked at her curiously. “Aren’t you hungry? Let’s go have dinner.”

Not even the slightest bit hungry, Gu Nianzhi was still feeling excited and her hunger was completely quashed by her raging hormones. But if Huo Shaoheng said they were going to dinner, they’d have to go. Gu Nianzhi didn’t dare talk back to him about these things, otherwise he’d strictly control her snacks in the future and make things miserable. After rolling around in bed for a bit, she said to Huo Shaoheng, “Can you leave first, I have to change.”

Huo Shaoheng walked outside and checked his phone. Fortunately, there were no new issues with the central control system—the people across the ocean were probably still celebrating Valentine’s Day.

...

Gu Nianzhi changed into a light pink cashmere shift dress, over-the-knee shearling lined boots, and cashmere leggings. She put her hair into a bun using a pearl hair net and wore a pair of diamond earrings. The dress was high-necked and her neck was left bare, the only accessory being the couple’s watch from Huo Shaoheng on her wrist.

“Huo Shao, can we go now?” Gu Nianzhi put on her down coat and saw Huo Shaoheng playing on his phone while sitting on the sofa, his legs stretched out. He turned around to see Gu Nianzhi’s radiant face, her skin glowing. She wore no makeup at all, not even a swipe of lipstick. She exuded a natural beauty and vitality that made people happy when they saw her. He reached out for her hand. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to a nice place for dinner.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch and saw that it was already 9:30. “Could we even get a spot right now?” Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, “Is it Jiuloufengyue?”

“No, someplace else.” Huo Shaoheng thought about it. “Little Ze and Big Xiong said there’s a three Michelin star restaurant that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. “Ok, let’s go take a look.” The restaurant was located in a 48-storey high building in the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital. It rotated so diners could see the full view of the city at the night, as well as the most famous imperial palace. The pair walked into the restaurant and the hostess took them to their reserved table. She set down the menus for them to look through slowly. Gu Nianzhi peeked around and saw it was a relatively secluded corner where two screens blocked off their table from the sights of other diners. But this didn’t stop her from looking outside. Looking around the whole place, she found someone she knew. Zhao Liangze wore a suit and tie to appear proper and handsome. He sat alone at a table for two and scrolled through his phone in boredom. It looked like he was waiting for someone. Gu Nianzhi looked right to see the owner of Jiuloufengyue who she’d met twice, Xue Jingjiang. He sat with an elegant and demure woman who appeared plain at first glance, but absolutely breathtaking at the second look. The pair appeared to have eaten for some time already and the dishes were picked through. They chatted happily and seemed to have lots in common. Gu Nianzhi watched that woman for awhile and thought she was familiar, but couldn’t pinpoint how so. She finally looked away.

Huo Shaoheng’s phone buzzed and he picked it up to check, “I have to go take a call.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and sat at the table, ready to order. Huo Shaoheng exited the restaurant with his phone in a rush and stood in a quiet area. He spoke to a member of the staff before relaxing and coming back to the restaurant.

Due to the commotion he made, Xue Jingjiang spotted him. He watched Huo Shaoheng walk to a private table and said to his female companion, “Miss Gu, I just spotted a friend. Can I go say hi?”

The woman was Gu Yanran, who was doing business with him. She also saw Huo Shaoheng and recognized him. Nodding her head, she said, “Can I come along with Mr. Xue? Major General Huo helped me alot in the past and I want to personally thank him.”

“Oh? Ok! Ok!” Xue Jingjiang agreed happily and walked over to Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi’s table with Gu Yanran.

“Huo Shao, what a coincidence!” Xue Jingjiang thumped Huo Shaoheng’s shoulder, “Are you having Valentine’s dinner with Little Sister Nianzhi?”

Huo Shaoheng merely smiled and stood up to nod at Xue Jingjiang before speaking to Gu Yanran, “When did Miss Gu come to our country?”

Gu Yanran extended her hand with a smile, “I didn’t think Major General Huo would remember me, what an honor.”

Huo Shaoheng shook hands with her briefly and replied politely, “You’re too kind.”

Xue Jingjian didn’t intend on intruding on their dinner but spoke when he saw Gu Nianzhi standing with a smile, “This is Miss Gu Nianzhi, a child from the Huo family.”

Gu Yanran’s pupils constricted briefly when she heard this name, but quickly composed herself and surveyed Gu Nianzhi. So she actually had this name as well...
