Ding Hanhan simply stood in front of him and began to undress slowly and deliberately.

Good heavens... what are you doing? Changing clothes? You can't be that reckless, can you? I'm standing right here, are you really treating me like I'm invisible?

Gu Feng was dumbfounded. Miss Ding's move had caught him completely off guard, and he hadn't been prepared at all.

"What...what are you doing?" Gu Feng stammered.

"Stop pretending. Didn't you say it yourself? Didn't you see clearly last night?"

Ding Hanhan's hands didn't stop moving for a moment, nor did she hesitate for a second.

In the blink of an eye, all the buttons on her black top were undone, revealing her fair and delicate skin!

Gu Feng was completely speechless.

When he said he "didn't see clearly," he was clearly referring to not having looked closely at the room's layout last night. As for her delicate skin, he could see it clearly and plainly.

But right now... it's great to admit your mistakes and correct them, but the problem is that Gu Feng would never correct this kind of mistake, even if you killed him.

Before long, Ding Hanhan had stripped down to only a light three-piece bikini.

Just then, Gu Feng grabbed her hand.

"Don't you want to watch anymore?" Ding Hanhan asked, her eyes filled with doubt. Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat at those words.

"I want to see it, I really want to see it. But I think—it's best to do it another day." Gu Feng managed to squeeze out the words from his throat.

Ding Lisheng figured he'd be back soon. It was enough for him to believe that he and Ding Hanhan had already consummated their relationship; there was no need for him to think of him as a complete lecher.

Ding Hanhan's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she cursed inwardly: What a rogue among rogues! How dare you say such things so openly? Last night you were pretending to be righteous, but today you've shown your true colors.

"Hey Gu, aren't you pushing your luck a bit too far?" she said, somewhat annoyed.

Seeing her expression, Gu Feng suddenly realized what was going on. He wanted to explain, but that wouldn't be right with his personality. Since he was in the wrong anyway, he decided to provoke her: "You dared to do it last night, but you don't dare to today?"

"Of course I... wouldn't dare!" Ding Hanhan tried to be defiant, but she just couldn't bring herself to be.

"You don't dare, but I do. Get up on the bed." Gu Feng gestured with his chin toward her big bed.

"You...really want...me..." Ding Hanhan was truly panicked this time.

"Why are you babbling so much? Just lie down." Gu Feng adopted a domineering demeanor. Seeing her standing there with gritted teeth, as if she was about to rush over and bite him at any moment, he felt a chill and decided to take the initiative. He leaned forward, reached out and pushed her onto the bed with ease.

"Ah..." Ding Hanhan cried out softly, and as she fell, Gu Feng followed closely behind.

She struggled to get up, but Gu Feng reached out and pressed her down.

"Ah..." Ding Hanhan screamed again!

"Uh, sorry!" Gu Feng quickly withdrew his hand!

Ding Hanhan simply kept a cold face and even closed her eyes, thinking bitterly to herself: Hmph, if you really dare to force me... I'll give in.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

She couldn't help but peek out, only to see Gu Feng already holding a silver needle, preparing to pierce her body.

She suddenly understood everything—this guy didn't want to push her down, he wanted to stab her with needles. While she breathed a slight sigh of relief, a strange sense of loss and melancholy welled up inside her.

She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand what this man was thinking.

When he first came in, he was full of suggestive remarks and his eyes were practically spitting fire when he looked at me. But just when I had mentally prepared myself and he was about to take things a step further, he would suddenly pull back from the brink, leaving me with a pounding heart and nowhere to turn.

Sometimes, she really wanted to yell at him: "Don't always treat me like I'm so high and mighty, so serious, so sacred and inviolable, okay? I'm just a poor little thing who needs to be coaxed, loved, and pampered."

However, Ding Hanhan would rather die than utter these words.

Although she was cold-hearted, she wasn't stupid. No matter how the world changes, men and women are ultimately different.

If men are the hunters, then women are the prey. It's always the hunter chasing the prey; there's no such thing as prey willingly coming to you. That's not just being foolish; to put it bluntly, it's suicide. Tell me, what hunter would be stupid enough to feed a fish that's already hooked?

Gu Feng inserted one silver needle after another into her body, and soon she no longer had the mind to think wildly.

She was overwhelmed by that strange feeling again!

When Ding Lisheng returned home, there was another person with him, but it wasn't his advisor; it was a young man who bore a striking resemblance to him.

However, the gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose made him appear less rugged than Ding Lisheng, adding a touch of gentle refinement. Especially those two reflective lenses, as if no one could see what was hidden behind them.

The maids glanced at him and immediately understood – this must be the legendary Second Master, Ding Lizhi.

Indeed, the maids were right. This man was none other than Ding Lizhi, the second master of the Ding family, who had just flown back from France.

"Butler, has the old master woken up?" Ding Lisheng asked.

"Not yet." Butler Du shook his head, glancing at his watch. "According to the old master's schedule, it'll probably be another half hour. Should I go upstairs and wake him up, telling him that Second Master is back?"

"No need," Ding Lizhi said quickly and politely, "Butler Du, I need to talk to my brother for a bit. You can go ahead and get back to work, okay?"

"Yes." Butler Du nodded in agreement, but inwardly he thought: As expected of someone who has received higher education abroad, his speech and manners are different, exuding a gentlemanly air.

However, compared to the second master's polite manners, Steward Du was more used to the master's loud, grumbling voice.

At least that way, he won't feel like an outsider.

After Butler Du led the maids out, Ding Lizhi finally spoke up: "Brother, Father had such a serious accident, why didn't you tell me? If I hadn't called home and asked the maid, I would have thought Father was busy preparing for Hanhan's birthday and had no idea he was sick."

It's harder to find you than to find the Premier. Where am I supposed to notify you? Ding Lisheng didn't actually say that sarcastic remark.

Faced with his younger brother's reproachful tone, he was not angry at all, but instead looked ashamed: "Brother, when Father fell ill, I happened to be out of town, and Hanhan couldn't contact me either. I only found out about it when I came back. I was going to tell you, but Father stopped me, saying that you were busy with that big project of the Jin Group, and told me not to bother you."

"Sigh, brother, how can you let Father do whatever he wants? No matter how big the matter is, it can't be bigger than Father's health. Father is sick, and as his son, I have to do my best to be filial." Ding Lizhi frowned deeply.

"Brother, I didn't think this through." Ding Lisheng's face turned red for once, which was rare for him.

"Brother, no matter where I am, or how long it's been since we last contacted each other, we're still family." Ding Lizhi sighed.

"But I haven't heard from you at all..."

Ding Lizhi smiled and said, "Brother, haven't you heard the saying, 'No news is good news'? We're family, not business partners. Do you think we'll forget each other if we don't keep in touch for a while?"

"Uh, yes, that makes sense." Ding Lisheng laughed along.

"Brother, where's Hanhan? Hasn't she come back yet? I remember the last time I saw her, she had two tubes of snot hanging from her nose." Ding Lizhi changed the subject.

"She should be back by now. Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to her boyfriend later." Ding Lisheng's face immediately lit up with a smile when he mentioned his daughter's boyfriend.

"That girl already has a boyfriend?" Ding Lizhi asked, quite surprised.

"Yes, she's all grown up now," Ding Lisheng replied with a smile.

"Brother, you really need to keep a close eye on Hanhan's boyfriend. We don't care about social status, but we can't let her choose someone who's not respectable and only chases after those unsavory characters who can't afford to eat or drink," Ding Lizhi said with concern.

"Hehe, don't worry, I personally picked out her boyfriend. You don't even trust your brother's judgment?" Ding Lisheng put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "I might not have the best eye for good people, but I'm always right when it comes to bad ones. Han Han's boyfriend doesn't have the potential to be a bad guy."

Perhaps because he was not used to being so intimate with his brother whom he had not seen for a long time, a trace of awkwardness flashed across Ding Lizhi's face.

Fortunately, Ding Lisheng quickly released his grip and pressed the summoning bell.

A moment later, a maid knocked on the door and entered, respectfully greeting, "Master, Second Master."

"Has Miss returned?" Ding Lisheng asked.

"She's back. She and Young Master Feng are in the room," the maid replied truthfully.

"Go and invite them over." Ding Lisheng's smile widened. Young people, after all, are prone to being affectionate and clingy; as someone who's been through it all, he couldn't understand it better.

"Yes, sir." The maid responded and left.

"Brother, they're in the room...this..." Ding Lizhi frowned, his words trailing off.

"It's alright, it's alright." Ding Lisheng knew what his younger brother was worried about, and waved his hand calmly.

For him, it was a good thing that the two young people were willing to hang out together; if they weren't, that would really worry him.
