As soon as the voice fell, Zhong Ning immediately started struggling. She was extremely flustered, thinking that it was some lecher who had come out of nowhere.

When she looked up, her cry for help was suddenly caught in her throat.

“Gu Sheng! Why are you here?”

Zhong Ning looked at the hand on her shoulder and tried to break free.

Of course, Zhong Ning could not break free from Gu Sheng’s grip. She looked at Gu Sheng’s dark eyes and was terrified.

Her voice was still broken from her tears, and she begged for mercy.

“Don’t scare me…”

Gu Sheng raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. His rough fingers landed on Zhong Ning’s smooth skin, making her shiver.

Zhong Ning’s action made Gu Sheng’s gaze darken. The next second, he grabbed Zhong Ning’s chin and kissed her.

Their lips and teeth collided. It was not a pleasant bump, but it sent shockwaves through their hearts.

Zhong Ning was stunned. She felt numbness from her head to her tailbone. Her hand was soft and boneless as she pressed it against Gu Sheng’s chest, her fingers slowly finding purchase.

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, with only a few faint sounds coming from behind the curtains.

After the kiss, both of them were left panting.

Zhong Ning took a deep breath of oxygen and felt her muddled brain slowly clear up. She only realized what she had just done.

She had actually done that kind of thing with Gu Sheng!

Zhong Ning looked at the culprit in front of her in disbelief. When she saw the lipstick on Gu Sheng’s lips, she was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Zhong Ning’s tears, which had just stopped, started to flow again. Her eyes were red. The grievances she had suffered today had almost reached their peak. She lost control and cried out loud. She clenched her fists and hit Gu Sheng hard.

“Even you are picking on me!”

Zhong Ning repeated the same sentence repeatedly as she broke down. Her fists kept raining down on Gu Sheng’s chest.

Gu Sheng stood firm and let Zhong Ning vent her anger on him. This lasted for a few minutes, and Zhong Ning soon poured her heart out. Her fists started slowing down.

When he saw Zhong Ning’s rabbit-like eyes, Gu Sheng let out a chuckle. Zhong Ning looked up and glared at him.

Gu Sheng ignored her gaze. He grabbed Zhong Ning’s hand and looked at it. It was red. He said helplessly, “Are you done? Don’t hurt yourself.”

Zhong Ning mumbled, “It’s all because you’re too hard.”

Gu Sheng’s body froze, and he felt his mouth go dry. He put his hand on Zhong Ning’s back and pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t you want to consider what I said just now?”

Zhong Ning’s face turned red at the thought of what Gu Sheng had said.

Before she could react, Gu Sheng continued.

“Shen Li has already said that she supports you in remarrying. If you want to remarry, then marry me. I may not be able to provide you with great wealth, but I can make sure that you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”

Zhong Ning did not know what to do with Gu Sheng’s straightforward words. She had never thought about remarrying before.

“Why would you want to marry me?”

Gu Sheng lowered his head and moved closer to her ear. Perhaps he was embarrassed to say such words, so he only spoke in a whisper.

“Naturally, it’s because I like you. Otherwise, I would have left when the three-year period was up.”

The back of Zhong Ning’s neck turned red as she spoke incoherently.

“You… Don’t talk nonsense. How am I worthy of your love?

“Besides, you haven’t recovered your memory yet. What if you’ve already married and had children?”
