Chapter 242 Tempting
"Actually, I was your admirer in that world, and I've had a one-sided crush on you for a long time..."
After he finished speaking, he thought Su Qi would laugh at him, but Su Qi just stood there stunned.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Shen Chaohuai paused, then blinked: "Why would I lie to you... You are the emperor, and I am just an... insignificant little guard. It's normal that you don't remember that I like you."
"So many people like you, I probably wouldn't catch your eye."
Su Qi's brow furrowed, and her head began to ache again.
Although she remembered some fragments of her past in the Empire and was able to recognize that the man in front of her was her top officer, Executive Officer Fu, she couldn't recall anything about her past experiences with Fu Changheng.
Her memories of how she came into this world became increasingly hazy, and as time went on, she almost stopped caring about the past.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chaohuai quickly went to help her up.
"I'm fine." Su Qi smiled and looked at him, then turned her attention back to him.
Shen Chaohuai smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright."
He was about to get up when Su Qi stopped him.
Surrounded by green hills and trees, Su Qi climbed up, while Shen Chaohuai cried out in terror, "Not in a place like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, her lips covered his.
A tingling sensation surged through her body, and Shen Chaohuai could hardly resist. She had finally taken the initiative, and the flame in her eyes was instantly ignited.
He pressed down on her waist, turned her over, and deepened the kiss.
A moment later, the two lay on the grass, panting heavily, as if they had done something wrong.
“Shen Chaohuai, if you like me, you should show some sincerity. Don’t make me think you’re just saying it to dispel my concerns, or that you’re just trying to seduce me.” Su Qi lifted his chin, as if toying with him.
He took her fingers and brought them to his lips, kissing them lightly twice, then smiled slightly: "I will..."
“I didn’t seduce you.” He smiled, then suddenly realized something.
She was tempted too, but she was just being stubborn.
She stood up: "Alright, it's time to go back."
Shen Chaohuai stood up, instinctively pulled her arm into his arms, and kissed her again.
"It's time to eat. Where did these two go?" Xu Xiaowan came looking for them. Li Yancheng was helping to attract guests in the front hall, and Gu Xing also came out to look for Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai.
Realizing someone was coming, Shen Chaohuai not only didn't restrain himself, but also used his other hand to interlock his fingers with hers and pushed her hard behind him.
She felt weak all over, not knowing what was wrong with her, and even her legs started to tremble.
Gu Xing and Xu Xiaowan were shocked to see this scene. Xu Xiaowan turned her head awkwardly and said, "Wow, they are too bold. There are media in the front hall."
Xu Xiaowan quickly went out: "I'm going to help cover for you, I'm leaving now..."
"Gu Xing, you, you, you... call them!" Xu Xiaowan walked out in a panic.
Gu Xing was left alone to watch them, his expression shifting from disappointment to near despair, before finally turning away angrily.
Gu Xing knew his place. So what if he was jealous? He was only spared a major setback thanks to Shen Chaohuai's leniency.
He felt indebted to both Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi.
Su Qi realized Gu Xing's presence and tried to push Shen Chaohuai away, but Shen Chaohuai only hugged her waist tighter.
"Shen Chaohuai...please don't..."
"We haven't agreed to our relationship yet, so what does this mean..."
Shen Chaohuai buried his head in the crook of her neck and tilted his head to suckle on her neck.
A pain shot through Su Qi's neck, and he froze.
"Shen Chaohuai?!"
He stopped moving and Su Qi reached out to pull his jacket tighter, trying to hide the hickey on his collar.
Shen Chaohuai led Su Qi out, not forgetting to provoke Gu Xing: "Have you seen enough? Want to learn? But even if you learn, you won't be able to put it into practice."
Gu Xing slowly turned around, looking at the mark on Su Qi's neck that he couldn't hide no matter what he did, and couldn't help but frown: "I don't need to learn from you, Mr. Shen."
"Furthermore, Ms. Su is currently in the prime of her career. If you do this and it gets photographed, wouldn't it ruin her career?"
"I'm not you. I have plenty of ways to stop public opinion. Just treat it as a rumor." Shen Chaohuai walked out smugly.
Gu Xing took off his coat and found that the collar wasn't high enough, so he had to take off his shirt underneath: "You can trade me your t-shirt for this shirt. If you don't want to be seen by the media, then you'll have to listen to me."
She lowered her eyes and looked away. Shen Chaohuai turned and glanced at them: "Mr. Gu is still better than me at exposing his physique in front of her. Hmm, I'm ashamed of myself..."
Gu Xing ignored him. Su Qi took the shirt, turned around and put it on. The high neckline just covered the mark.
"Thank you."
Back in the lobby, the astute reporters noticed that Su Qi had changed into a turtleneck shirt, but they didn't know why, and everyone around them speculated.
[1L: Isn't today the funeral of the eldest daughter of the Gu family? Why does Su Qi look strangely dressed?]
[2L: Female celebrities' chaotic outfits? Is this the new fashion? But Su Qi hasn't worn leather pants with a jacket in a long time. The last time she wore them was when she wasn't popular. After she became famous, she always wore formal dresses to various occasions.]
[3L: Don't you guys think Su Qi's face is so red? I feel like my cool goddess is out of character...]
[4L: Is this true? I feel like Gu Xing, Su Qi, and Shen Chaohuai together are acting out a real-life version of "Burning Winter"...]
[5L: Strange, doesn't your sister feel uncomfortable with her collar being too high? I really want to reach out and help her unbutton her clothes...]
[6L: Be careful upstairs, what if there really is some secret downstairs... Don't just unbutton your clothes.]
Su Qi received a notification in the front hall that her popularity among the people had increased.
She covered her eyes with her sleeves to look at the screen, somewhat incredulous.
After the funeral, Su Qi got into Xu Qiyuan's car. It was Xu Xiaowan who insisted that her father take Su Qi home.
Su Qi felt something was missing because she couldn't get a ride in Shen Chaohuai's car.
She only realized what was happening when she suddenly discovered that she had brought Gu Xing's clothes home.
Oh well, I've already given Gu Xing the clothes I changed into before anyway.
Su Qi got off the bus and arrived home.
At the same time, Shen Chaohuai's car stopped at the door, and Su Qi turned around and saw him get out of the car.
Su Qi turned around, pretending not to see, but Shen Chaohuai suddenly called out to her, "You didn't even say hello? Even if you didn't agree to our relationship, you can't just take advantage of me!"
Su Qi frowned and said to him, "Are you just trying to get something for free? You're practically making a spectacle of it in front of the public. Mr. Shen, you're really good at scheming."
She deliberately pointed to the shirt she was wearing: "Mr. Gu is so thoughtful, knowing to change clothes with me to prevent malicious media from using it to gain traffic."
"And some people only care about their own immediate pleasure, without considering other people's feelings at all, and they still keep saying they like me... I'm so disappointed."
She deliberately said, "The strategy failed, please try again..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Chaohuai ran over and covered her mouth.
When they were kissing passionately again, her mind went blank.
"I'm sorry, I got too excited just now."
"You're so stupid. With my abilities, I wouldn't let anything happen to you..."
"I was able to do that, so I naturally accepted the consequences."
Su Qi's cheeks flushed slightly: "Don't think that just because you say that I'll accept you... It's still a long way off."
Su Qi stood there awkwardly, when Lynn's phone suddenly rang.
"Where are you? Cui Ying is coming back. I've gotten you a new script, so you need to sign it before she gets back, otherwise you'll have to split the earnings with Cui Ying, and she'll swallow most of it!"
