Chapter 36：Why Didn’t You Listen When I Asked You To?

Gu Haoting walked slowly into the room, his gaze still locked on the book in her hands.

Feeling guilty, Huo Weiwu shoved the book beneath her pillow and asked with a frown, "Why didn't you knock before entering?"

"Was there some reason I should have?" He walked across the room as if he owned it, casting a sidelong glance at her. Then, he tilted his gaze slightly and looked at her pillow instead. In an authoritative tone, he said, "Hand it over."

"What?" Huo Weiwu sat up.

He regarded her with clear eyes, his gaze taking in her outstretched arms.

Huo Weiwu tried to smack his hands as he reached for the book.

Her hands had just made contact with his palms when he caught her fingers.

His palms were frighteningly hot.

Huo Weiwu wanted to free herself, but to no avail.

"Fine, I'll hand it over," she said readily.

Gu Haoting released his grip.

Huo Weiwu slapped the book down on his palms.

Gu Haoting glanced at the book title, "Lying on the Bed."

He flipped to the first page.

Huo Weiwu's face grew red as her eyebrows knitted.

That immoral author had created a sexual situation between the male and female characters on the very first page, and his writing was very explicit.

"Do you enjoy reading books like this?" asked Gu Haoting.

Huo Weiwu forced herself to remain composed as she gazed at him. "I was just flipping through it. That's not against the law, right?"

Gu Haoting tossed the book back to her. He laid down on the bed beside her and placed his left arm beneath his head as he shut his eyes to rest.

His tall, broad frame dominated more than half of her bed.

Huo Weiwu was just about to protest when she heard him speak in a husky voice, "Read it to me."

Huo Weiwu was speechless.

The entire book was written in such great detail. It was explicit enough to make anyone squirm. Making her read aloud was like making her take on the job of a news anchor.

Huo Weiwu couldn't bring herself to do that. She slapped the book onto his stomach. "You can read it yourself."

Gu Haoting opened his eyes. They were as deep as the vast ocean, and as Huo Weiwu stared silently into them, her heart began to race.

"Do you want to listen to it?" asked Gu Haoting. His voice was low and husky and extremely seductive.

Huo Weiwu grew nervous.

"Heh," she laughed, and in order to extricate herself from this predicament, insisted stubbornly, "I'll listen to it if you read it for me. "

Gu Haoting picked up the book and flipped to the first page with his slender fingers.

Huo Weiwu lowered her eyelids, allowing her long lashes to conceal the joy in her eyes as she secretly peeked at him.

He was really scanning through the text line by line!

Huo Weiwu doubtfully wondered if he would actually read it out loud.

She found it hard to imagine those dirty words coming out of his mouth, and she wondered how dangerous and seductive they would sound.

Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable. She snatched the book away and threw it onto the bedside table, declaring stubbornly, "I suddenly don't want to listen to it anymore."

Gu Haoting's lips curled into a wicked grin. He reached out to grab her waist, pulling her into his embrace. "If you don't want to listen to it, does that mean you want to do it instead?"

"In that case, I'd rather listen," said Huo Weiwu as she moved to get the book again.

Gu Haoting flipped them over and pinned her against the bed. Without giving Huo Weiwu any time to react, his kiss landed on her lips and his red tongue slipped into her mouth, devouring her sweetness and beauty.

Huo Weiwu struggled and twisted her waist.

His muscular chest was pressing her down, leaving her no space to resist him.

Huo Weiwu turned her face aside and protested, saying, "I chose the option of listening to it."

Gu Haoting grabbed her chin and forced her to look directly at him. There was a smile playing on his lips as he said, "Did I ever say that I'd listen to you?"

"Gu Haoting, are you messing with me?" asked Huo Weiwu angrily.

"Yeah, and since you want to play, I'll give you a good game," Gu Haoting said. He immediately lowered his head to capture her lips in another kiss as his teeth scraped gently against her lip.

It had only been a day, but Huo Weiwu felt that he had grown even more dangerous.
