Chapter 83: Chapter 83: I Only Want to Show You

A scattering of stars twinkled, and the moon hung like a silver platter.

The late summer night sky, like ink-blue silk, gently draped over the city.

Within Huatai District, streetlights cast a warm, soft glow.

At that moment, a spotless Maybach GLS was parked by the roadside, its obsidian black body reflecting halos of warm yellow light.

"We’re here."

Gu Heng turned his head and reminded Luo Xiwen softly.

"Thank you, Chairman Gu."

"Well... I’ll be heading upstairs then."

Luo Xiwen didn’t dare to look Gu Heng in the eye. A blush spread across her cheeks as she replied in a low voice.

"What?"

"Just because we’re not drinking, does that mean I can’t come up for a bit?"

Seeing Luo Xiwen so different from her usual professional self, Gu Heng couldn’t resist teasing her. "Last time you invited me for tea, but by the time I left your place, I still hadn’t tasted what your tea was like~"

As he spoke these last words, Gu Heng deliberately leaned toward Luo Xiwen, his tone thick with teasing.

As Gu Heng’s words hung in the air, an amorous atmosphere instantly filled the car.

At the same time, their memories seemed to travel back in time, taking them back to that night of passion and confusion.

Though the air conditioning was on, Luo Xiwen felt an inexplicable heat begin to burn through her.

"Chairman Gu, then..."

"Would you... like to come up to my place again tonight?"

Luo Xiwen, after all, wasn’t like Xu Mo, a little girl who would just melt into Gu Heng’s arms and whimper. She took a deep breath, then summoned her courage and looked up at him, her gorgeous face covered in an alluring blush.

After a slight pause, she added softly, "I... I prepared slippers for you this time."

Gu Heng gazed at the dazzling beauty before him. He reached out his right hand, gently cupped the back of her head, and leaned in slightly, capturing her red lips with his.

Luo Xiwen didn’t refuse. The moment Gu Heng’s lips met hers, her hands subconsciously tightened on the strap of her handbag.

Unlike the rough intensity of that other night, Gu Heng was exceptionally gentle tonight.

Soon, Luo Xiwen’s body began to relax. She started to respond to him, a bit clumsily, and subconsciously reached up to gently stroke the side of his face.

Suddenly, Luo Xiwen’s hand froze, and her body trembled slightly.

She opened her watery eyes, and when she saw the hint of a smile in Gu Heng’s, she grew so shy that she quickly shut them again, her teeth gently nipping his lip.

The playful pressure only made Gu Heng kiss her with more force.

Amid her shyness, Luo Xiwen couldn’t help but recall the idle chatter of her former colleagues during breaks when she worked at the branch office.

’It’s true...’

’All men have hands with a navigation system as good as GPS.’

As the thought flashed through Luo Xiwen’s mind, her body only grew softer.

...

A long while later.

It wasn’t until Gu Heng’s left hand started to ache that the two slowly pulled apart.

"Some things don’t have to be done upstairs."

Gu Heng looked at Luo Xiwen with a grin and said softly, "They can be done just as well in the car~"

"Ah?"

"You want to... do that in the car?"

Hearing this, Luo Xiwen’s mind immediately went to the wrong place.

She thought Gu Heng wanted her to help him take care of things in the car, just like last time.

"That’s not what I meant just now."

"But if you insist, I suppose I could reluctantly oblige."

Seeing her expression, Gu Heng knew she’d gotten the wrong idea. A smile played on his lips as he teased her.

"I’m not insisting..."

Luo Xiwen said, her face flushed and her voice tinged with feigned annoyance.

"I’ll stop teasing you."

Seeing this mature and elegant woman, who was usually so poised and serene, now blushing like a peach blossom from his teasing, Gu Heng felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

If the unlocking challenge for the second level of the Golden Tower of Wealth hadn’t suddenly appeared, Gu Heng might have taken Luo Xiwen to the back seat. The challenge required him to clear his mind, restrain his desires, and focus completely on lowering his body fat for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, the suddenness of the challenge to unlock the second level of the Golden Tower of Wealth had caught him completely off guard.

When it came down to it, Gu Heng knew how to set his priorities.

Then again...

If Luo Xiwen weren’t on her period today, the outcome might have been another matter entirely.

At this moment, Luo Xiwen saw the clarity return to Gu Heng’s eyes and understood that he wasn’t just playing hard to get—he truly didn’t have that in mind.

Seeing this, Luo Xiwen breathed a small sigh of relief, but at the same time, an indescribable wisp of disappointment drifted through her heart.

"Xi Wen, why did you always hide them before?"

Gu Heng asked, his gaze drifting slightly downward.

"Because I didn’t want other men to look. I hated the way they stared."

Luo Xiwen replied in a small voice as she buttoned up her blouse.

"Then why didn’t you hide them today?"

Gu Heng twisted open a bottle of mineral water to wet his throat, alleviating his parched mouth.

Yes...

Literally parched.

"Because I wanted you to see."

Luo Xiwen looked up again, her clear, autumn-bright eyes shimmering. "From now on, I only want you to see."

At this, she seemed a little hesitant. "Do you like them? Aren’t they a little... a little too big? Do they look bulky?"

"How could I not like them?"

"I absolutely love them."

Gu Heng could actually understand Luo Xiwen’s lack of confidence.

Girls tend to develop early, and a girl as gifted as Luo Xiwen must have been the subject of gossip, or even ridicule, during her school years.

Such past experiences could leave them with a lasting lack of confidence in their own bodies.

"Xi Wen, you give a whole new meaning to the expression ’jaw-dropping’."

Gu Heng reached out and caressed Luo Xiwen’s delicate face, his voice unusually gentle.

"As long as you like them."

Luo Xiwen’s heart felt much more at ease.

As they were speaking, Gu Heng suddenly leaned over and opened the glove compartment, taking out a blue velvet jewelry box.

"I passed by a Cartier counter this afternoon and saw this necklace. Thought it was quite beautiful."

Gu Heng took a diamond necklace out of the box. It featured Cartier’s classic trinity design, with forty-two diamonds surrounding a central stone. Even in the dimly lit car, it shone with exceptional brilliance.

As he spoke, Gu Heng fastened the necklace around Luo Xiwen’s long, elegant neck, then pulled down the vanity mirror on the passenger-side sun visor.

"This..."

"This is too expensive."

Although Luo Xiwen didn’t know the price of the diamond necklace, just hearing the name Cartier and seeing the diamond-encrusted pendant told her it was undoubtedly worth a fortune.

"It’s beautiful."

Gu Heng didn’t respond to her protest. He simply gazed at her with admiration and said softly, "How can my woman’s neck always be bare?"

Faced with the deep affection in Gu Heng’s eyes, Luo Xiwen opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word. Instead, she cupped his face in her hands and passionately kissed him...
