Chapter 120: Slander To His Face

Gu Zi nodded, wrapping her arms around his waist, responding to his query with action.

His arms encircled her in return, feeling the warmth and softness of her body. The embrace involuntarily tightened a bit.

If Gu Zi had a third-person perspective at this moment, she would have seen the usually stern-faced man smiling brightly, displaying an aura of complete possession.

"Su Shen, you... you feel a bit hot!" Gu Zi sensed the high temperature emanating from Su Shen's body. Even through the fabric of their clothes, she distinctly felt the heat of his body.

Her breath grew erratic, and she gently pushed him away. But soon, Su Shen pulled her back into his embrace again, his tone carrying strong restraint. "Gu Zi, please don't push me away for now."

This time, Gu Zi felt more like she was being captivated in his arms. His head buried in the nape of her neck, emitting warmth.
