Volume One, Chapter 18: Right Now, I Want You

Page 1 of 3

Lin Qi supported Fu Beichen as he walked into the cabin, then quietly asked, “Mr. Fu, do you need a doctor?”

“And her?”

“The young madam is resting in the V8 lounge. The old master just went to speak with her.”

Fu Beichen’s brow relaxed slightly. It seemed she hadn’t secretly met with Lu Lie.

Inside the V8 lounge, Gu Xingnian was on the phone.

On the other end came Sheng Weiwei’s triumphant laughter:

“How’s that? Using the ‘disaster diversion’ trick—it's a triple win, absolutely thrilling! Too bad you weren’t there, but I recorded everything. I’m going to make her famous nationwide!”

Indeed, the move was a triple threat: first, it didn’t ruin the Fu family banquet; second, it dealt a heavy blow to Gu Shaoheng; and most importantly, it utterly humiliated Jiang Kexin.

Gu Xingnian’s tone carried a hint of reproach: “You’re too bold, girl. When you get back, Godmother will definitely lock you in the black room!”

“Haha, I settle scores on the spot; I never let grudges linger overnight. What’s there to fear about the black room? Just remember to bring me my meals.”

Gu Xingnian chuckled: “Alright, alright, I promise you won’t go hungry.”

“In a good mood now, come have a couple of drinks to celebrate, quick, quick!”

“Okay!” Gu Xingnian hung up and was about to leave.

The cabin door opened, revealing a tall man standing there, his handsome face dark and heavy with gloom.

Seeing Lin Qi supporting him, she guessed he had probably drunk too much at the social gathering tonight.

“Madam, the eldest young master is feeling unwell. Please take care of him.”

Lin Qi helped Fu Beichen into the suite, then slipped away swiftly.

Gu Xingnian said lightly, “I’ll have someone bring you some hangover tea. Rest a while first.”

After saying this, she turned to leave. Fu Beichen suddenly reached out, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly.

That familiar scent from her body stirred a dizzying confusion within him.

The air inside the cabin was stifling, almost suffocating.

Gu Xingnian was startled, trying to break free from his embrace, but only found herself held even more tightly.

His arms were like iron bands, gripping her painfully with no sign of letting go.

Fu Beichen pressed her firmly, like an immovable mountain, as if trying to crush her and fuse her into his very being.

She could even smell the strong scent of alcohol on him, mixed with an unfamiliar, unsettling heat that made her heart race.

Suddenly, his scorching breath brushed against her neck, then an aggressive kiss landed hard on her crimson lips.

Gu Xingnian’s pupils constricted sharply, shock and humiliation instantly overwhelming her reason.

Instinctively, she bit down hard!

“Smack!”

A faint metallic tang of blood filled her mouth, accompanied by the sharp crack of a slap echoing in the cramped space.

Gu Xingnian broke free from his grasp and took a step back, her chest heaving violently, voice trembling with uncontrollable fury:

“Fu Beichen, you’re insane! Know clearly who I am!”

Fu Beichen turned his head away, burning with pain on his face. His lip was bitten and bleeding.

He slowly turned back, his eyes terrifyingly red, swirling with insane possessiveness and wounded rage, glaring at her fiercely.

His voice was hoarse, laced with ruthless resolve.

“Gu Xingnian, you dare refuse me? You’ve only just started flirting with Lu Lie for a few days, and suddenly I’m not allowed to touch you? Your virtue is a fast-built facade!”

Those insulting words stabbed into Gu Xingnian’s heart like knives.

She trembled with rage, refusing to back down as she retorted sharply:

“We’re getting a divorce! Get your facts straight!”

“Hmph.” Fu Beichen chuckled darkly, his laughter filled with icy shards, suffused with reckless obsession.

“I haven’t signed the divorce papers. Until I sign them, you’re still my wife, Fu Beichen’s wife!”

He stepped closer, his imposing figure radiating intense pressure.

“Right now, I want you.”

Those words were slow and clear, spoken as if stating an undeniable truth.

Before she could respond, he bent down again, kissing her lips with an irresistible, more possessive hunger.

Gu Xingnian struggled but couldn’t break free. His hot breath whispered softly in her ear:

“Help me… baby…”

That one word, “baby,” carried an unusual yearning and pain that made her heart skip a beat.

Only then did she clearly sense something was wrong with him—his body burning with feverish heat, his eyes unfocused yet filled with fierce desire, completely unlike the usual Fu Beichen.

Could it be… he had taken something impure?

The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

No doubt, it had to be Jiang Kexin’s doing.

She pushed him away forcefully as his chest pressed closer, a flood of disgusting words from Jiang Kexin flashing through her mind:

“When you had the miscarriage, Brother Beichen was on my bed…”

A strong wave of revulsion surged within her. Gritting her teeth, she spoke each word clearly:

“Have Jiang Kexin help you! I find you filthy!”

Fu Beichen’s movements suddenly froze.

He lifted his head, a flicker of hurt passing through his bloodshot eyes, quickly swallowed by an even deeper desire.

His gaze was unbearably serious as he spoke each word deliberately:

“I never slept with her. From beginning to end, there’s only you, one woman. Nian Nian, don’t refuse me…”

Gu Xingnian was utterly stunned.

What did he say?

He and Jiang Kexin never…

How could that be possible?

In the moment she blanked out, Fu Beichen suddenly spun her around, pressing her heavily against the cold cabin wall.

He pressed tightly from behind, his burning body heat searing through her thin clothes, making her shudder.

A strong hand reached around to restrain her struggling arms, lifting them high above her head and pinning them against the wall.

The other hand began roughly unbuttoning his own shirt, the sound of buttons popping sharply.

The icy wall contrasted starkly with the scorching heat behind her, leaving her nowhere to escape.

He lowered his head, his burning lips beginning to kiss her smooth, pale back.

This beautiful jade-like back had haunted his thoughts countless times tonight.

The moist, heated touch sent chills down her spine. She screamed in terror:

“Fu Beichen! Let go of me! I don’t want this!”

But he ignored her cries and struggles, as if controlled entirely by instinct—a wild beast.

Her screams only intensified his arousal.

Because Gu Xingnian struggled so fiercely, the wound on Fu Beichen’s hand was torn open, bleeding.

But he didn’t care. The only thing he cared about was her, as if he wanted to tear her apart and consume her whole.

The thought of her ambiguous interactions with Lu Lie tonight was driving him mad.

“Fu Beichen!” Gu Xingnian’s voice cracked with tears, desperation thick in her tone:

“It’s not even the twenty-fifth yet! Please, come to your senses!”

Those words seemed to strike something.

Fu Beichen’s movements paused for a moment.
