Chapter 14: A Moment of Tension

Chapter 14: A Moment of Tension

Yun Mu pretended to apologize with a look of fright, yet her eyes were still fixed on the "scenery" ahead.

Unfortunately, the captivating view was soon blocked by Huo Tingcheng, who turned around fiercely.

"Courting death?"

Huo Tingcheng's voice was icy cold, his sharp gaze locking onto Yun Mu's slightly smug face.

Did the bastard get angry?

Yun Mu composed herself and composed her expression. "I already said it was an accident. Besides, it's not that big, nothing to see here..."

As she spoke, she hastily stood up, ready to make a getaway.

Unexpectedly, a man suddenly reached out with his long arm, scooped her up by the waist, and threw her onto the bed.

The coldness in the corner of Yun Mu's eye turned to anger, just as the man's scorching body suddenly pressed down upon her, completely covering her.

"Offend me and you think you can escape?" The man's voice was chilling.

Yun Mu's breath hitched, her brows furrowing as she looked at the man on top of her, scoffing softly, "What do you want? Are you trying to get a closer look?"

Outside the window, the sun shone brightly.

A beam of light with a faint golden hue filtered through the curtains, casting an intimate entanglement of two figures on the bed, provoking imagination.

Huo Tingcheng's long legs were pressing against Yun Mu's fair limbs.

Their eyes met, their breaths intertwined...

Huo Tingcheng's body temperature rose once more.

Noticing the increasingly peculiar gaze he cast upon her, Yun Mu's heart pounded in her chest.

Maintaining a calm facade, she instinctively tried to create some distance, "Hey, you can't possibly be serious about that, right? Where's your sense of propriety?"

The woman beneath him exuded a delicate fragrance, her mature voice laced with an alluring charm.

It had to be said that this woman was a bit unattractive, but in other aspects, she was truly alluring.

With narrowed eyes, he took a deep breath to suppress the heat surging within him, "A taunt? You indeed have ulterior motives for me."

Yun Mu clicked her tongue, "You're unbelievably conceited!"

"As you wish!"

The man threw out these four inexplicable words and then, surprisingly, began to tear at Yun Mu's collar.

What the hell? !

Yun Mu flew into a rage, "If you move again, believe me, I'll leave you paralyzed from the waist down!"

To her surprise, not only did the man not stop, but he buried his face in the crook of Yun Mu's neck, his breath warm and his voice low and seductive, "Acting!"

Yun Mu's gaze shifted towards the door, and she immediately heard rustling sounds coming from outside.

Damn it!

Once feared and influential, the patriarch of the Hao family was actually eavesdropping on his grandson's conversation!

What kind of peculiar family was this?

Yun Mu immediately blocked the man who was persistently provoking her with a cold snort. "I don't have such a hobby in broad daylight. Play your own game! I won't join!"

What if they really crossed the line?

This man might be a bit dog-like, but he was indeed irresistible!

As Yun Mu was about to turn and leave, she didn't expect the man to sneak an attack.

"Ahh!" Yun Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Are you pinching my waist? How childish!"

Hao Tingcheng's hand, which was around her slender waist, exerted more force as he leaned in, sneering, "Don't you know how now?"

Simultaneously, he whispered threateningly in her ear, "This is also part of playing the role of the Hao family's young madam. Anyway, I won't mind canceling the collaboration."

"You—"

This man is truly insincere!

"Quickly, don't blow our cover!" the man's husky voice urged in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Yun Mu flipped over, turning defense into offense. She laid on her side next to Hao Tingcheng, her cascading curly hair flowing down as she smiled alluringly.

"Acting, huh? Who can't?"

Her slender fingers gently caressed the man's bare chest, teasing and igniting desire.

At the same time, her voice was sweet and languid, trailing off with an enticing note.

"Tingcheng, your physique is truly amazing... I love this pectoral muscle so much...” It was the honest truth!

Hao Tingcheng's entire body stiffened.

"Tingcheng, be gentle, your pectorals are so firm... Everywhere is hard!" As she spoke, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of a certain part of the man's anatomy.

Hao Tingcheng's breathing grew labored.

Noticing the male's sinister gaze, Yun Mu chuckled seductively. "To think you're still bashful. I didn't expect Ting Cheng's body to be so capable..."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to press the tip of her foot against the headboard, swaying rhythmically and creating an alluring creaking sound that stirred imagination.

Outside the door, Grandpa Hao clasped his hands together in relief.

"Thank heavens, my grandson likes women! It seems that soup really did its job. I'll soon have a great-grandchild to hold!"

With a joyous heart, Grandpa Hao headed to the kitchen to instruct the servants to continue preparing the soup...

In bed, Yun Mu ceased her actions upon hearing the commotion. She raised her eyebrows and laughed softly. "Not bad, huh? No need to thank me! However... the act is over, you can let go now."

Seeing no response from Hao Ting Cheng for a while, Yun Mu lowered her gaze and noticed his rapid, uneven breathing.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hao Ting Cheng abruptly asked, "You seem quite experienced in this area, don't you?"

Yun Mu's eyes narrowed, exuding elegance and arrogance. "Could it be that Young Master Hao is still inexperienced?"

It was just a casual question, but the man suddenly tightened his grip around her waist, pressing his body against her fragrant scent. He spoke in a low, husky voice, "Want to find out?"

Yun Mu found the situation amusing and chuckled. "I'm not interested!"

The woman before him laughed delightfully, with an alluring figure.

The slightly open collar revealed a hint of snowy cleavage, captivating anyone who laid eyes upon it.

The familiar fragrance reminded him vividly of that young girl from that night.

Hao Tingcheng's rationality blurred once again, blending reality and dreams as he roughly tore off the clothes of the woman beneath him.

Feeling a chill on her chest, Yun Mu's expression turned cold instantly.

"Hao Tingcheng, are you being serious?"

Reaching out to stop him, Yun Mu's fingers touched the man's abnormally hot skin, causing a shiver down her spine.

This man's condition is clearly the result of being drugged!

Her sharp gaze swept to the bowl of soup on the side table, untouched and still waiting to be consumed.

There's something amiss with the soup!

Mr. Hao, you've really crossed the line for someone of your age, to actually drug your own grandson and granddaughter-in-law?!

Fortunately, I didn't drink it myself.

Amidst the intoxication, Hao Tingcheng seized the delicate face of the woman before him. The more he gazed into her clear, translucent eyes, the more they seemed to resemble someone else's.

His voice was enchantingly hoarse, "I've finally found you."

Yun Mu was taken aback.

The man's gaze was a deep crimson, brewing with tempestuous emotions - it conveyed madness, possession, dominance, and wilfulness...

Yun Mu, who should have pushed him away, found herself mesmerized instead.

"Stop pretending, I know it's you..."

As he spoke, the man's slender fingers began to massage Yun Mu's scar on her cheek with increasing force!

Yun Mu's heart trembled instantly!

Could it be that this man had already discovered her disguise?

"Well, you leave me no choice."

In the next moment, he swiftly turned his palm and struck forcefully!

Before Huo Tingcheng could react, his vision darkened, and he collapsed onto Yun Mu's body, unconscious...
