Chapter 24
The bedside lamp was dimmed so Mu Ci couldn’t see clearly the slight change in Gu Huai’s face. He pinched his fingertips nervously and continued, “Mr. Chen already promised me last time that I can go to work.”
“Oh?” Gu Huai looked at him with a little interest, “But have you forgotten something?”
Mu Ci raised his head blankly, Gu Huai reminded him kindly, “I said that after you sign the engagement letter, I will treat you as my fiancé. If you don’t sign it, you will be my little pet. If my pet comes to work, it would be a slap in my face. It’s very difficult for me to handle.”
Gu Huai was still smiling when he said this, but Mu Ci felt a chill from his back. It turned out that it had been the same since ancient times, the bullying of the weak but the powerful never stopped.
“In the end, what do you want?”
“I think I made it very clear.” Gu Huai’s eyes shone sharply under the light, and his eyes were like needles piercing Mu Ci.
Mu Ci was suddenly very scared. It was a very deep fear, he realized that his nightmare was coming back again.
“If I don’t sign it… you won’t let out ever again, don’t you?”
“What do you think?” Gu Huai didn’t say yes or no, he just asked the question back to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci’s voice was a little trembling. He clutched the sheets beside him tightly and whispered, “Gu Huai, if you do this and force others to do things like this. You will be punished sooner or later.”
Gu Huai shrugged nonchalantly, “I’ve done things dirtier than this, and my hands are never clean. I don’t care if I add another one on the list.” Then he smiled again, “Mu Ci, in fact, among my many enemies. I am still very kind to you.”
He suddenly took Mu Ci’s waist and brought him closer to his chest. His slightly rough fingers slid on his neck, “You have been here for so long and there is not even a scar left on your body. I have never given you any addictive drugs or medicine. I have been gentle to you, so much, Mu Ci.”
Mu Ci’s body froze unconsciously. He had seen in on the TV, the hungry and crazy eyes of those who were tortured by the drugs. It was worse than death. He was frightened.
“Would you do that to me?”
Gu Huai pinched Mu Ci’s cheek with his finger and said half-seriously, “I don’t know. You know, I am quite a bastard. If you keep resisting me like this, I might really get angry one day. I would do terrible things to you but if you sign the contract, it would be your life-saving talisman.”
Mu Ci’s face darkened and he gritted his teeth as if suppressing violent emotions, “…. I understand. I will sign it.”
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows; he really didn’t expect for it to go smoothly. But since Mu Ci personally agreed, he would not regret it. So, Gu Huai wasn’t in hurry and hugged Mu Ci, kissed him twice.
“Really? That’s good. Let’s sign it tomorrow, now be good and put on the ring.”
Mu Ci turned his head away indifferently, his light brown eyes as dark as the abyss.
What Gu Huai didn’t know was what he did today had strengthened Mu Ci’s thoughts. He wanted to leave. No matter what method he used, as long as he could leave and escape to a place where Gu Huai couldn’t reach, he would be able to live a new life.
He could slowly learn to protect himself, who had been hurt so much but never learns to guard against it. No one could wantonly insult him anymore and trample his body and dignity.
But he couldn’t do it now, as an adult man, he was still too fragile to protect himself again other man. Gu Huai pounces on him like a hungry wolf that had been wandering for a long time. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Ci’s forehead with enthusiasm. The hair on the temples finally touched his lips and teeth, passionately entangled.
Mu Ci was frightened by the sudden forced kiss. He raised his head almost in daze and accepted it stiffly. His thin neck was exposed. His skin very white with his cyan pulse faint visible.
“You know, I have been waiting for this day. For a long time.” Gu Huai babbled as he unbuttoned his pajamas, “It feels so damn good, even better than signing a big deal before. Mu Ci, you should be happy, I actually think your signature is worth better than a contract of tens millions of dollars.”
Mu Ci really didn’t expect that Gu Huai would suddenly attack. He hid back in fear and tried his best to turn over and crawl into the bed. Gu Huai grabbed his calf and pulled him back, pressing him heavily into a pile of quilts.
“Why are you running away? I won’t eat you.” Because Mu Ci agreed to sign, Gu Huai was in good mood and didn’t care about Mu Ci’s little attempt to escape.
He stroked Mu Ci’s arm all the way up, placed his big hands on the slim back, lifted him up slightly and lowered his head to kiss the collarbone.
Mu Ci opened his eyes wide, panting and pushing him, almost crying, “I don’t want to do it, not today, can’t I say no? Gu Hua, stop it!”
“No, I want you today.” Gu Huai’s tone was like a wilful child, but a child was never this scary. A child wouldn’t cover the sky with one hand nor would he suppress someone until they couldn’t move. He was like a murderer with red eyes, a hunter who wouldn’t stop until they saw blood!
Mu Ci was caught off guard for a moment before his soft cotton trousers were peeled off and his two slender legs were trembling slightly on the air.
After Gu Huai stripped him naked, he slowly took off his own clothes.
His body was very strong and his muscle was powerful. This wasn’t just achieved in the gym -when Gu Huai was a boy, he practiced fighting with mercenaries and was thrown to the concrete floor so hard that he almost vomited blood. Mu Ci was no match for this kind of skill developed from dealing with guns, putting aside his skills, he was completely defeated in terms of strength alone.
The only thing the fragile Mu Ci could do was tightened his body and beg in a soft voice, “No, Gu Huai. I’m very tired today. I don’t want to….”
He was really miserable and begged for mercy. He had always been the proud prince before and never been like this. Being knocked down from the clouds. He was naked and begging other man with tears in his eyes.
But the cold-blooded Gu Huai remained unmoved. In fact, he never paid attention to Mu Ci’s pleas and objections. He always acted wantonly to satisfy his own selfish desires.
This night was a nightmare for Mu Ci but for Gu Huai, it was very romantic and charming night.
This was the second time he and Mu Ci done the deed. The first time was after drinking but this time was after Mu Ci agreed to sign the contract.
Then in Gu Huai’s mind, they were legal couple. When he was doing it, he thought, the person underneath him was his fiancé. He couldn’t hurt him, so he had to do it slowly. They had many days to come.
However, in Gu Huai’s memory, Mu Ci was crying from the beginning to the end. He seemed to cry easily during making love. But usually, he didn’t cry much when they talked with each other.
But last night, no matter how gentle Gu Huai done it, the tears wouldn’t stop failing. Even when Mu Ci almost passed out the sobbing sounds didn’t stop at all.
“Are my skills so bad? Did it hurt so much?” Gu Huai stood beside Mu Ci and played with a piece of his hair.
It was already seven o’clock in the morning. In fact, Gu Huai only slept for four hours but he was in a very good spirit. Mu Ci on the other hand, was still sleeping.
The corner of his eyes was pink and there was a faint cyan mark underneath his eyes, making him looked very haggard.
Gu Huai put his hands into the quilts and touched the young man’s buttock. When he looked at it through the sunlight coming behind the curtains, he couldn’t help but sign with guilt.
His fingertips were red with blood, he had done too much yesterday, Mu Ci actually bleed.
Putting his fiancé in such miserable state. Gu Huai’s male self-esteem was very frustrated. While Mu Ci was still asleep, he took the young man into the bathroom and cleaned him up. Then he gave him the medicine for his injury and stuffed him gently into the soft quilt. Praying that the injury wouldn’t be discovered by the person.
