Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 35

“You lived in America for five years, right?”

“Excuse me?” she asks again to make it sound less shocking.

“You graduated from a prestigious college in America. Due to some urgency you have to come here, in Shanghai and I guess it must be related to the company” he reveals the information, swirling his wine glass with his right hand.

“So Mr. Fu investigated me?” she scoffs.

“…”

“Tell me, what’s your motive for agreeing to my proposal?” asks she, placing the menu card aside and looking straight to his face. ‘Sure enough, he has an ulterior motive for accepting my proposal or why would he be that generous after rejecting their proposals many times.’

“What do you think?” he sneers, sipping the white wine from the glass.

“I am not a mind reader, so I can’t tell what’s in that mind of yours”

He finishes the wine and keeps the empty glass on the table, then he searches for something in his coat pocket.

Shi Lian just observes what he is doing, waiting for him to speak. Taking his palm out of his coat pocket with something inside it, he shows it to Shi Lian. He opens his palm and shows a thing, a piece of diamond earring.

“Remember something, Miss Mo?” he smirks, showing her earing in front of her. It is the same earring she wore that day, the day when she first encountered him. Her one earring was left on the bed and she was unaware of this fact. She almost forgot about it but now, she is reminded of it again.

“Earring? What’s that supposed to mean?” she questions him, arching an eyebrow.

“Look close, maybe it will remind you of something”

She brings her forward to see the earring more closely. ‘What is he up to? Why is he showing me an earring…-‘ Her eyes go wide when she identifies that the earring is hers. She looks at him, panic in her eyes, and asks, “H-How did you get this?”

“In America” he states.

“When did we ever meet?” she accuses with disbelief. ‘Wait…..don’t tell me he is…’

“Did you remember something?” he asks when he notices her facial expression.

“Y-You….You are…” she shudders as she remembers about that night.

“Looks like you have?” he smiles with satisfaction.

“You jerk!” she yells at him with rage. She is on her feet now, she moves from the table and takes a step towards him. She raises her hand to slap him but he grabs her hand and pulls her closer.

“You are quite bold, Shi Lian” she smirks as he looks into her eyes closely.

She struggles from his grip, “Let me go” she says through her gritted teeth.

“Not this time” he whispers in her ears. He forcibly made her sit on his lap which she objects but he is not going to listen to any of her struggles.

“You jerk! How dare you appear in front of me?” she screams while struggling to get away from him. He frowns, his jaws are set in a hard line, which means he is getting angry.

To her extreme surprise, he touches her chin and kisses her, hard. His one hand travel through her back, to her curvy waist, then to her neck, and the other holding her stubborn hands.

When his lips meet hers, there some unknown current between them, the force that attracts them together. His tongues explore her mouth, exploring it and tasting every inch. She tries to resist but he is stronger than her.

She wants to be far away from him but eventually for a moment she stops struggling and just indulges in him, closing her eyes. He let loose of her stubborn hands as she stopped struggling. He puts his hand at her waist and pulls her closer, kissing her more passionately.

“Mhmm…” she is out of breath now. Shi Lian s opens her eyes immediately when she comes to her senses. She bites him and untangles herself from him, standing at a distance from him. Zichen narrows his eyebrows as she does this stunt.

“You sure are a wild cat,” says he, licking his lips. He touches his lip which is swollen and a cut through which blood shows itself. He takes out his handkerchief from his pant pocket and wipes the blood on his lips.

Shi Lian angrily marches to her table to take her purse and in an attempt to leave when Zichen grabs her by her wrist.

“Let me go!” she yells in fury. She is not crying, she won’t, not in front of him. She is humiliated, he humiliated her and that’s making her anger more and more.

“You want to leave again? Just like how you did before?” he says firmly.

“Yes!” she barks.

“Wild kitty, you don’t know with whom you are messing with” he smirks, getting closer to her. Shi Lian steps back as he steps closer to her; she reaches the end of the room and is encountered with the wall behind her. He comes closer and closer, leaving no distance between them.

“You do know you seduced me first, right?” he whispers in his dark musky voice, up close to her face, which makes Shi Lian blush from her head to toe.

“Wh-What nonsense are you spouting?” she denies, turning her head to her left in an attempt to not face him, his eyes are insanely attractive; if she looked into them for a while she might be on top of him.

“You said you W.A.N.T me..” he coos in her ear, making her legs feeble.

“You touched me….here….here and every inch of mine..” he teases her. He takes her hand and points to parts where she touched him (almost everywhere), craving for him with hunger and passion in her eyes.

“Y-You….” She makes a moaning sound as she is getting effect by his words.

“You were…craving…” he groans, tracing her jawline and continues, “For me…for me.”

“Mhmm….” She moans as he continues teasing her. She doesn’t know why she cannot push him away or why is feeling turned by him?

Shi Lian moans making Zichen turned on; he is blushing as he watches her, her face in the sexiest expression, only for him, her body wanting to dive into him.

“You want me…don’t you?” he breathes, kissing her exposed cleavage. His hands holding her hands pinned to the wall as he continues teasing her.

“Mhm….no…mhm…” she moans denying, but her body already gave in. She is losing her control, she couldn’t think straight anymore.

Your body is more honest than you…Shi Lian..” he hisses her name, observing as her legs getting feeble and body squirm.

“Mhm…no..” she still as stubborn as ever.

She has never felt like this, getting teased and making turned on. With Atian, she never felt this way. He isn’t like Fu Zichen, domineering and seducing. She does love him but she never experienced this amount of passion and hunger for him like how she is feeling with Zichen.

“Still lying..” he cups her face and kisses her gently. The kiss is gentler than before and hotter. He holds her by her waist, pulling her closer, leaving no space between them. she fell into his trap and lost control. Her hands trail behind his back as she kisses him back passionately.

“Mhm…” she moans, craving for him.

He ways her hand to her thighs, giving her goosebumps and making her squirm. He then kisses her jawline, her neck, and exposed cleavage which has turned him on, the moment she stepped inside.

“You look so sexy in this dress…” he groans, kissing her rosy plum lips back.

His tongue exploring every inch of her hers and possessing it as his. Nothing mattered at the moment, no business, no motives, just him and her.

*Knock* *Knock*

Shi Lian hears a knock on the door and instantly propels Zichen back. She straightens her hair and dress and gains her composure back but her face is still red as a tomato and she avoids Zichen who is cursing at the person who knocked at the wrong time. “Come in!” he calls out in anger.

The waiter who knocked comes inside and his body trembles when he sees Zichen glaring at her.

‘Wh-what have I d-done?’ he thinks with fear. “S-Sirr…y-your order..” he shudders while explaining.

“Keep it on the table” he snaps. He does as he told.

Shi Lian stands on the corner, looking down at her floor because she is embarrassed to up to him after whatever they have done together.

“Ma’am, your order?” he asks politely.

“No, thank you,” she says with an awkward smile.

“I will take my leave! Goodbye!” she flees without looking at Zichen and exits through the door.

“Get out!” Zichen barks to the scared waiter with irritation. The waiter runs away with fear and Zichen is left alone in the room. He sits on the chair, his cheeks are flushed and still, he is turned on. “What are you doing to me, Shi Lian?” he hums, touching his swollen lips and the mark she gave.
