"Mm..."

Jian Ran was kissed by Gu Mochen into a blissful daze...

The kiss marks on her body always a fresh layer atop an older one.

It never completely faded away...

Jian Ran didn’t realize that Gu Mochen wasn’t kissing her too hard... it was just that her skin was too delicate, so a slight lack of caution would leave a mark.

This... caused Gu Mochen quite a headache as well.

Unable to help herself, Jian Ran reached out a small hand to clasp the man’s larger one, whispering softly.

"Gu Mochen... I’m so tired, can we... not do this..."

At her words, Gu Mochen’s lips thinned, his gaze fixed on the woman beneath him, at the small plea in her beautiful eyes.

And it was this frail appearance of hers that doused his fire.

Gu Mochen... was not a man known for his self-control.

But...

He knew that Jian Ran had indeed been tired these past few days.

"Alright... I’ll let you off today, but after we return to the country, remember to compensate me properly, okay?"

Jian Ran: "..."

So, Mr. Gu meant to settle accounts in the autumn?

Although it was a deferred reckoning, she had narrowly escaped for the moment.

At his words, Jian Ran nodded vigorously, allowing Gu Mochen to scoop her entirely into his arms.

"Jian Ran, don’t you feel this room is very familiar?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Lying on the bed with Gu Mochen... yet not doing anything.

Even though the man had verbally promised, Jian Ran’s heart still felt gripped.

Thinking carefully, she nodded.

"There is... a familiarity."

A nameless sense of recognition lingered in her heart. If she were pressed to say why it felt familiar...

Jian Ran couldn’t quite articulate it.

Perhaps... she had drawn too many designs for houses, both big and small, over the years.

So... upon seeing the actual object...

She suddenly felt... as if it had left no impression.

At this thought, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly...

Her gaze locked onto the chandelier above her head, some fragmented details overlapping with the images in her mind.

"Gu Mochen... could it be..."

"Yes... just as you’ve guessed."

Gu Mochen’s doting lips pressed against the delicate lobe of her ear, his words seductive.

"Jian Ran, this room’s decor was constructed using your senior year graduation design project... except, yours was a design, and what I present to you is the real thing."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran’s eyes quivered...

Every designer hopes to see their work realized.

That was true for Jian Ran as well.

But...

Serious discussions were still ongoing with both Dongheng International and the Han Family’s new building...

She hadn’t expected that Gu Mochen... would be the first to present her with the real thing.

Jian Ran laughed softly, unaware that her eyes had reddened slightly, and she spoke in a choked voice.

"How did you get my senior year design project?"

"What I want... or who, there’s nothing I can’t have."

As he said this, Gu Mochen’s lips brushed casually against Jian Ran’s soft, pale earlobe, his tone effortlessly bewitching.
