Chapter 197: I Missed You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Shen placed the thermos down, not in a rush to open it, and replied, “I heard the commotion outside, so I guessed it must be you.”

He hadn’t gone home last night due to the busy workload. He had asked Li Zhu to pass on a message to Gu Zi, yet he still felt indebted to her.

Reaching out, he pulled the woman close, settling her on his lap. Gu Zi enjoyed the feeling of being held by him. She voluntarily wrapped her arms around his neck.

Perhaps because they hadn’t met last night, the contact at this moment felt unusually satisfying to her.

Looking up at the man, his clean-cut features and stern look hinted at a wildness in bed, not to mention she had seen his defined abs, showcasing a sexually charged body.

Despite his noble demeanor, she sensed that his gaze was undressing her, especially considering he had seen more than just her clothing.

Lost in her thoughts, she blushed but boldly kissed the man’s lips, saying, “Su

Shen, I missed you.”

Su Shen held her even tighter, gently inhaling the scent of her hair, passionately kissing her earlobe, whispering, “I missed you too.”

She couldn’t help but be surprised. How had his kissing skills improved so quickly?

Su Shen continued to kiss the side of her neck. His hot breath made Gu Zi tremble uncontrollably.

A strong desire welled up in his heart. He really wanted to press this wild cat under his body and conquer her. He wanted to have her whole.

He felt like he spoke too soon, promising Gu Zi that he would wait until their wedding night. It was a matter of his confidence in self-restraint that he now questioned, as he felt he might lose control soon.

These few seconds passed nervously for Gu Zi. What did his intense and probing gaze signify? Could he possibly want to be with her right here in the office? For a person of the twenty-first century, that would be quite exhilarating!

In the next moment, the phone rang, breaking the intense atmosphere between them. Quickly, Gu Zi got up from where she sat on him, while Su Shen changed his expression promptly, answering the call.

Upon hearing the voice from the other end, Su Shen slightly furrowed his brows, questioning, “Why the sudden change in statement? Hmm, I see.”

Thinking it was work-related, Gu Zi opened the thermos for him, saying, “Here’s the porridge and pickled pork with cabbage I made. Finish it before you get back to work. I’ll head home first.”

Su Shen lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag, and mentioned, “It was a call from the Public Security Bureau. They said MO Li, Lin Miao’s classmate, has suddenly regretted her decision and doesn’t want to be a witness or make a record as evidence.”

Gu Zi was surprised. She hadn’t realized Su Shen was still invested in this matter. But why would MO Li suddenly change her mind?

She suddenly recalled how MO Li had left in a panic when she saw her yesterday. Her gut feeling was right; there indeed was an issue.

In this era, the internet was hardly reliable. Only with substantial testimonies and evidence could someone be convicted.

Initially, if MO Li had acted as a witness, it would have made things exceptionally straightforward. But now, it had gotten complicated.

Gu Zi inquired, “Perhaps Lin Miao had gone to see MO Li and offered her something?”

Su Shen replied, “Unlikely. The police have been keeping an eye on Lin Miao lately, and she hasn’t visited MO Li recently.”

Gu Zi’s expression changed slightly. If that was the case, it would be even more troublesome.

If Lin Miao had gone to see MO Li, she might have found some clues to handle this situation. But if not, it meant that MO Li, for some reason, wanted to help Lin Miao cover something up.

They needed to know what MO Li expected to gain from Lin Miao in this situation..
