Suddenly, Shu Pan raised her hand and began pushing him haphazardly.

Caught off guard, he nearly toppled off her body.

Gu Shaoting was a little annoyed. What happened? Had she really gotten bold?

She struggled even harder.

Gu Shaoting cursed under his breath, fueled by the alcohol, he grew even more infuriated.

“Let go of me, Gu Shaoting…”

Gu Shaoting didn’t pay any attention to what she was saying.

But just as their lips touched, before he could even slip his tongue into her mouth, she suddenly went crazy. She opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on his tongue. She bit down with such force, as if she wanted to tear his tongue off.

A sharp pain shot through Gu Shaoting’s back, causing him to instinctively reach out and firmly grip her jaw.

The pain brought him back to his senses instantly. Frustrated and filled with anger, he couldn’t help but yell at her, “Why did you bite me? Are you out of your mind?”

What was wrong with this woman? Had she gone nuts?

The sharp pain from his tongue made Gu Shaoting involuntarily take a sharp breath.

Then it finally dawned on him just how excruciatingly painful it was. He felt a numbness in his tongue, accompanied by a prickling sensation.

Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows slightly and slowly shifted his gaze to the woman beside him.

Her lips, which he had just kissed, were unusually red, like a blossoming and vibrant flower. She looked pitiful, like an abandoned kitten.

Gu Shaoting felt somewhat at a loss, and there was also an indescribable twinge of heartache.

He couldn’t make sense of his conflicting emotions.

He thought her voice would be choked with tears, but to his surprise, it carried a very calm and composed tone. “I’m a bit tired tonight and want to rest. Can you leave?”

Gu Shaoting’s body trembled intensely, and he was somewhat stunned, unable to react to her calmness. In her face, he seemed to detect a trace of despair.

“Can you?” she asked again after he remained unresponsive for a while, her voice trembling slightly, unable to control the wavering emotions.

That barely noticeable tremor caused a sharp pang in Gu Shaoting’s heart. He tightly pursed his lips, said nothing, and simply rolled off the bed, opened the door, and walked out.

The room immediately fell into silence.

Shu Pan pulled the blanket with her hand, curled up her body, and her trembling eyelashes were moistened with a few tears.

How did it come to this? What did she do wrong? Why did he treat her like this?

Was it wrong to love someone? She truly felt exhausted, questioning the significance of enduring silently like this.

Not long after, she heard a loud door slam from the adjacent bedroom. It must be because he was in a foul mood.

Gu Shaoting was undoubtedly unhappy. That woman was becoming more and more unbearable.

Gu Shaoting was now completely sober, and as he entered the bedroom, he swiftly went into the bathroom.

He took a cold shower, wrapped a towel around his body, and emerged from the bathroom into the bedroom. In the end, he irritably lifted the blanket and covered his eyes with it.

At this moment, he couldn’t calm down. Was he under some sort of spell? Why did he lose control every time he faced Shu Pan? In reality, countless women would throw themselves at him if he wanted, but it was only Shu Pan who evoked different emotions in him.

When did he start feeling this way?

Gu Shaoting’s mind was currently in turmoil, unable to fall asleep. He regretted his actions.
