They head out of the restaurant and Zichen told Shi Lian he will send her home. She objects but she already knows he won't be having no for an answer. Her head feels light and her throat a little sour due o drinking excess of that expensive wine.

"Didn't know you can master the art of drinking wine" he teases her and expects her mood to lighten as well. She sticks out her tongue but fails to show anger and laughs. Her laughter is soothing to his ears and he feels satisfied to make her laugh and a little less jealous of the waiter.

The car arrives out of nowhere as if it was waiting for them to show outside the restaurant. The driver steps out of the car and moves back to the passenger seat to open the car for them. Zichen lets Shi Lian enter first with care by putting his hand above her head as she enters while ducking the car to protect her head if she gets hurt somehow.

He closes the door and sits inside beside her closing the other side of his car as well. The driver drives after Zichen says to proceed.

Shi Lian snuggles in her side feeling a little uncomfortable because of the wine she had. She can feel the excess wine inside her belly doing summersault with the veal. She didn't want to let him see her being uncomfortable so she looks outside the window, opening the window pane.

"Are you alright?" his question startled her that she almost jumps from her seat. He didn't comment on that which she is glad.

"Yeah..um…I am fine. It's chilly at night" she half lies. She is feeling cold because the weather at night in Shanghai is chilly and her dress is nothing but a piece of cloth hanging just in the front portion of her body barely covering her back. The thought of her in that dress makes him go wild but at the same time, he wants to scold her for wearing such thin material. He resists scolding her. He removes his jacket and passes it to Shi Lian. "Wear this. You will feel less cold. I won't take it back" he says, his expression serious.

She opens her mouth but closes it back and takes the jacket from him. She hesitates at first but as she is feeling colder, she wears it. "Thank you" she whispers. To thank him, she is getting it hard to say it. She can no longer deny that she is attracted to him and the way he behaved today made him more charming.

To her utter surprise, Fu Zichen scoots closer to her. Leaning in closer, he whispers in her ear, "Your welcome." This made her face red and her heart pulsates like crazy. He is too close, too close to feel his breath in her skin, giving her goosebumps. Her breath becomes unsteady the pull between them intensifies. "You feel that too. Don't you?" he whispers again in her ears and damn it didn't make her squirm.

"Wh-what?" she asks somehow as she is too focused to control herself from not kissing him.

"The intense pull between us. It's hard, too hard for me to control now. Shi Lian."

she gulps and meekly turns her head to face him. He is too close. The look on his face is smoldering hot. His eyes look dark and sensual, his lips are slightly parted and the way he is staring at her is hella attractive.

He takes the window remote which is kept at Shi Lian's side without breaking eye contact. He closes the small window that connects the driver's area and drops the remote back to its place.

"You look breathtaking" he hisses. His lips touching the bare skin of her neck. He breaks his promise, again. when it comes to staying away from her, he can never keep his promise.

His words are a turn-on for her. His lips keep touching her neck and all she wants is more and more of him. She didn't resist, she let him do what he is doing. His jacket smells of him, he smells of fresh laundry. She never thought she would like this, someone getting too close to her other than Atian.

"I can never control myself when it comes to you" his hands reach her exposed calf, giving her goosebumps all over her body. "This dress…How can you be so sexy?" his hands run upward to her thighs up to where the silt was made.

"Mhmm.." she squirms under the seat, making a soft moan and the sound is a turn on which instantly made him hard.

"You want me..don't you?" he whispers, his lips closer to hers. Before she can reply, he presses his lips on hers and kisses her passionately. His tongue is a trained one and god knows how he is so good at kissing? The kiss is hot and passionate and presses more force as he is aroused as fuck.

She wanted him, in that moment she wanted him. When he pressed his lips on her, she didn't push him away as she did before, she kissed him back with the same hotness and force. She let the jacket fall behind her and her hands grasping his soft hair. His hands travel to the back of her bare skin and all he wants is to tear that piece of cloth from her.

"Mhmm.." she moans as she breathes in and continues kissing him. Her hands voluntarily move to open the buttons of his shirt.

He is way too aroused that he barely can see anything but her and her body. He breaks the kiss to get some air and lets her open his shirt. "In the car?" he asks huskily, his lips swollen and his face flushed.

She is too busy to open the buttons and all she did is nod. After she opens all the buttons he removes his shirt hastily like she cannot wait anymore. The sight shook her breath. His body is marvelous and well-built. he takes in, all of him, gulping every second of what she sees because it's too hot. He smirks and closing the small distance between them, he kisses her, holding her face in his hands.

"Kiss me" he commands and she obeys. She kisses the corner of his lips, his jaw, and does her continuous torture by kissing his neck. She is out of breath but she wants more and more of him.

His hands move to her back to where the dress's string was attached and in one single pull, he tears her dress. Thankfully, he didn't tear it. The upper part of the dress falls and stays to her buttocks, exposing her rosy fair skin. He gulps down and pulls his closer so that their body touches.

"You want it?" he asks, a little hesitant as he didn't want to do something which she dislikes. She stops kissing him and tilts her head up to look at him, her expression neutral.

"Yes," she hisses in his ears, biting his earlobe, and damn it made him harder. He got her consignment and now he doesn't feel any guilt. He is a hungry predator and she is his prey. She is a feisty cat who lays her claws on him and hinting that she wants him to. They didn't care what will happen after this, all they want it to enjoy the time they are having.

"Darling, you okay?" Sha Sha asks with concerns when Shi Lian enters with her face flushed with the shade of red.

"Yes, mother. I am…I am fine. Just tired. I'll go to my room and take a shower now" she says so fast that at one point Mo Sha Sha cannot understand what she just said. She didn't ask her further and let her go to her room. She asks nanny Zhang to made some chamomile tea and send it to Shi Lian's room.

Mo Zeng Yuan was in his room; he came one hour later Shi Lian left. Sha Sha told her about Shi Lian's whereabouts and he said that Ruxi had already informed him about it. He didn't ask much about the place, or who is this friend because he knows his daughter won't like it. She wanted privacy and freedom and he is working on giving her that.

Mo Sha Sha noticed a red mark on Shi Lian's neck when she arrived. Her mind goes straight to where she shouldn't let it go. She doesn't want to believe that her daughter will sleep with anybody or that she has a boyfriend out there without her parents knowing. She thought that she might have seen it wrongly. She shrugs off that thought and went to her room as well. She wanted to talk to her daughter about today's happening but the look on Shi Lian's face told her she isn't in the mood now and it's totally fine.

Zheng Yuan told her about the press conference which will be held tomorrow, about Shi Lian. When she heard it, she was concerned about her daughter, it may be too hard on her, she thought but her husband assured her that it will be fine. Their daughter is capable to run the company.

Everything is fine, it should be unless there's a hurricane approaching them.
