Chapter 18：I Never Forced Women

Gu Xi jolted out of her sleep while looking rather uncomfortable under the dim lighting.

Pei Qian gently caressed her face and slid his hand under her blanket, under her watchful gaze…

She did not dare to move and only lowered her eyes.

Her body turned stiff upon feeling his touch and her long eyelashes trembled in fear.

"Scared?" His hand casually roamed her body while he admired her many expressions.

Gu Xi shut her eyes and grabbed a handful of the bedsheets.

He, on the other hand, did not know when his hand moved towards the upper part of her body. With one hand cupping her breast, he played around her body with his other hand.

His black eyes watched her in silence, refusing to miss any changes in her expression.

The strength of his fingers relaxed, making it seem like he was being lazy, and finally, he let his hand rest on her stomach.

Retracting his hand, he curled his lips up. "I never force women to do things they are not willing to do."

Gu Xi opened her eyes and looked at him in astonishment.

Pei Qian gave a light chuckle and turned around to lay beside her. He then reached out to pull her into his embrace.

Once again, her back was pressed against his naked upper body…

"Don't you want to wear some clothes?" asked Gu Xi in a soft tone of voice.

She really could not get used to it!

Pei Qian's big hands slid to a certain body part of hers and held it. "If you don't want me to continue, you should just stop talking!"

Gu Xi closed her eyes and ordered herself to go to sleep, but regardless of how hard she tried, she just could not fall asleep with a hand placed on her chest.

This also made her realize that she was wearing nothing but her underwear.

He suddenly kissed her earlobe and asked in a deep and rough tone of voice, "What are you thinking?"

His voice was very attractive, especially in this dark night. His voice even made a cold and unfazed person like Gu Xi to have her heart flutter.

She tried to ignore his hot lips on her body. She tried to ignore the muscular and toned body behind her. She even tried to ignore the thing that was poking her back.

In a weak and trembling voice, she replied, "Nothing."

Pei Qian did not say a word anymore and turned off the lights.

Gu Xi immediately felt a little flustered as she listened to his peaceful breathing sounds.

He did not touch her that night… It was really just as he had said—they only ate dinner together.

Of course, he kissed and touched her body, but she was not that innocent of a woman. She obviously knew that he could take things further if he wanted to.

But why didn't he touch her?

He gave her company shares which were worth tens of billions of yuan. Yet, he did not touch her… Obviously, Gu Xi was not so innocent to think that he was that generous of a person.

However, she really could not understand why…

After all, she still considered herself to be pretty…

Just like that, she drifted off to sleep. She was completely unaware that the man behind her pulled her closer into his embrace. Taking a deep breath, he kneaded his body against hers for a few times before removing the blanket and walking towards the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, he lay down on the bed again with a cold air surrounding him.

Gu Xi shifted away from him. However, after his body warmed up, she snuggled back into his arms like a little cat upon feeling his warmth.

Pei Qian watched her with a gentle gaze while he caressed her black hair with slender fingers.

Gu Xi was perfect and there was not even a single flaw on her body. As much as he acknowledged that she was a natural beauty, her comfortable lifestyle also played a part in allowing her to maintain her body so well.

He really liked her soft and smooth skin and loved to fondle her body. This was an experience he never had before!

Pei Qian blinked his eyes and let go of her…

Unfortunately, he hated the idea of being obsessed with something and that applied to women's bodies as well.

Especially… Gu Xi's body!

Perhaps she was too tired, Gu Xi slept very soundly.

She did not even notice that he went to the bathroom.

Pei Qian walked towards the French window and saw a car silently parked outside the villa.

He curled his lips up and stared at it for a while before going back to bed.

When Gu Xi woke up, she felt a little uneasy since there was not even a single piece of clothing on her.

However, Pei Qian did not seem bothered by it and did his tie before proceeding downstairs. She thought that he was going to his office and heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the time, she realized that it was still early. Hence, she took her time to wash up before going downstairs.

Much to her surprise, Pei Qian was still in the dining room.

They served a scrumptious breakfast on the dining table in front of him. It was a western-style breakfast and he had not dug in yet.

He was reading his newspaper when he saw her coming down the stairs. He put his newspaper away. "Let's eat breakfast together."

His voice was very calm as if he had said it a thousand times before.

Gu Xi sat down and looked at the breakfast… There was a bowl of porridge and a few light dishes in front of her.

She furrowed her eyebrows. Why was he given a western breakfast while hers was Chinese food?

He seemed to have sensed her unhappiness and while eating his breakfast, he said, "You have a weak stomach."

Gu Xi ate her porridge and said in a weird tone of voice, "Thank you so much for your concern."

Hearing her words, he furrowed his eyebrows, but he did not carry on the conversation.

Gu Xi ate very slowly and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead because the porridge was hot. Her face was flushed into a healthy red color, which made her look more beautiful than usual.

Pei Qian silently stared at her yet Gu Xi did not take notice of it.

After they were done with their breakfast, Pei Qian stood up to leave, only to bump into Song Yazhan. The latter waved at Gu Xi. "Miss Gu!"

Gu Xi pursed her lips.

Pei Qian took his working bag and walked a few steps before turning around to face Gu Xi. "I will send you off to work."

Gu Xi shook her head with hesitation. "I drove here!"

Pei Qian smiled. "I sent your car for maintenance last night."

Hearing his words, Gu Xi froze.

"I will get someone to return your car to your office's car park in the afternoon." With a smile on his face, he waited for her at the door.

The villa was quite a distance away from the city and she did not even have a car.

Gu Xi hesitated for a while before quickly finishing her breakfast. She wiped her mouth and followed him after taking her bag.

After she had entered the car, she immediately faced the window in an attempt to prevent talking to him…

With the morning rays shining on her face, Pei Qian could clearly see the tiny hairs on her face.

It looked surprisingly cute!

Song Yazhan, who was driving the car, gently smiled. It seemed that things have progressed well after sleeping together for two nights.

He did not know that the President could look at someone so gently.

However, Song Yazhan did not dare to stare at him, for he was afraid that he might throw a fit at him.

The flower carved iron gate slowly opened and Song Yazhan drove the black camper van away.

The car window was rolled down, and through it, Gu Xi immediately noticed the white sports car that was parked outside. It looked very familiar.

The person sitting in the car was… Qin Mo!

When Qin Mo saw Gu Xi's face, he immediately alighted from his car.

Song Yazhan asked Pei Qian in a soft tone of voice, "President, do I stop the car?"

"Continue driving." Pei Qian gently pressed on a button and the window rolled up, preventing people from looking into the car.

Qin Mo could only give a few hits on the car and the car left in a huff.

He chased after them but realized it was futile and so he got in his own car and furiously stepped on the accelerator.

Pei Qian looked at Gu Xi's expressionless face and faintly asked, "You feel sorry for him?"

Although Gu Xi was not that smart, she immediately figured out the reason he sent her car for maintenance as well as the reason he decided to send her to work…

She gently turned around to face Pei Qian. "I am very curious about your motive. Is it me or… Qin Mo?"
