Chapter 11: Really Didn't Mean To Bite You

Seeing Jian Jianan’s fringe sticking to her sweat-drenched forehead, Gu Mocheng sharply withdrew his hand from their intertwined fingers. He stood, towering over her and looked at her condescendingly. “You’ve been asleep for two hours, crying and hollering for one and a half of it. You also kept grabbing my hand, biting it, and, from time to time, pinched it. What explanation could you possibly want from me?” Jian Jianan surreptitiously looked at the back of Gu Mocheng’s hand, and saw a series of bite marks and fingernail scratches. Several areas of tender skin had been peeled back into bleeding wounds, which was an especially ghastly and dreadful sight to behold. Searching his ice-cold and arrogant, but handsome, face, Jian Jianan’s heart suddenly registered, for a brief moment, an ache for him - she was touched, “I’m sorry, I had a bad nightmare. That’s why… but if it hurt so much, why were you so stupid enough to not do anything? ‘A nightmare huh? What kind of a nightmare could invoke such intense feelings of hate and resentment in her?’ he thought. Gu Mocheng was originally making calls in the living room, but rushed into the bedroom upon hearing screams. Drenched completely in sweat, she was struggling and grimacing in pain, muttering words non-stop like “it hurts” and “please don’t”, as if she was experiencing extreme torture and excruciating suffering, unable to save herself from the grueling ordeal. When she bit into his hand, it was so full of hatred and ferocity, it was like he was an irredeemably evil and despicable person. If he had not pinched her chin in time, the flesh on his hand would probably have been bitten off. On top of that, he heard her keep calling for “Han”… ‘Is that the man she loves? The man in the restaurant today? Ha… Is she calling his name in her nightmare so he would come save her from her torture? If she loves him so much, why is she here, aggravating him?’ he wondered. Catching Gu Mocheng’s darkening and gloomier expression, Jian Jianan knit her brows with worry, “Hey, I didn’t mean to bite you, I’m…” Without even waiting for Jian Jianan to complete her sentence, Gu Mocheng curtly and coldly, walked towards the outer hall. “Since you’re awake, hurry. Get up and leave now!” Jian Jianan, snorted with indignance, and murmured ‘This jerk is kicking me out again. Does he hate me that much?’. Remembering her nightmare, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were edged with icy hatred. She dreamt again of the moments before her tragic death in her previous life. The feel of the freezing scalpel, the evil, cruel Xiao Yihan and Qi Xiaorou’s expression of contempt and ridicule. Since her rebirth, Jian Jianan had already lost count of the number of times she had that nightmare. Each time she woke, soaked in sweat, she was relieved that she was still alive. With both hands clenched into fists, she was determined to never repeat the mistakes of her previous life. Calming her thoughts, Jian Jianan gently eased herself up. Her gaze ran through the interior of Gu Mocheng’s room; the furnishings and decorations were all in cold colors, evoking a feeling of distant aloofness - definitely that jerk’s style. The room and the duvets were strong with jerk’s scent, which was not so bad after inhaling for some time. ‘Wait, could this room possibly be Gu Mocheng’s bedroom? Did he actually bring her to his bedroom?’ she wondered. Jian Jianan instantly felt better, and the lingering negativity from the nightmare dispersed, for the moment. Just when she was about to get out of the bed, the door to the bedroom suddenly flew open. For a brief moment, Jian Jianan thought it might have been Gu Mocheng coming back again to urge her to leave. She never thought that from the moment the door opened would a ferocious suddenly lunge at her. “Ah…” As Jian Jianan screamed in terror, the behemoth, which was not quite a wolf but also not quite a dog, shoved her onto the bed and stared at her menacingly, like it would bite her head off at any second. Jian Jianan shrieked in terror and was frozen in fear. When she was younger, she was once bitten by a dog and had to be jabbed with five rabies vaccines. At that time, she was worried she might die from rabies, and has since been terrified of dogs. That huge beast did not hurt Jian Jianan. Instead, it licked her face after it sniffed the scent lingering on Jian Jianan’s body. Its paws mischievously padded towards Jian Jianan’s chest and breasts. Gu Mocheng heard Jian Jianan’s scream from the kitchen, and his expression changed as if he suddenly remembered something. He rushed into the bedroom, digesting the scene of Jian Jianan pinned on the bed, terrified by Mengmeng. Immediately, he angrily yelled, “Mengmeng, down!” The huge pet pitifully howled “Ao-wu” after being yelled at by Gu Mocheng. It bounced off the bed and scampered to sit Gu Mocheng’s side, tongue lolling as it continued to stare at Jian Jianan. Glancing at Jian Jianan’s pale and frightened face, Gu Mocheng sternly stared at Mengmeng, while the dog guiltily looked down at the floor. “Mengmeng is a retired police dog. He may look fierce, but he won’t bite people without a reason!” ‘Oh, it’s a retired police dog!’ she thought. But, Jian Jianan was unable to match the name Mengmeng to the ferocious-looking dog in front of her. Jian Jianan pressed her lips together, while still shaken by the huge pet. “I don’t think ‘Mengmeng’ is right for him at all. I’m calling him ‘Er Hei’”. “Ao-wu...” Mengmeng seemed to dislike the name ‘Er Hei’ and whimpered with dissatisfaction. “Er Hei, Er Hei, Er Hei…” “Ao-wu!” With Gu Mocheng there, Jian Jianan was a little bolder in pushing Mengmeng’s buttons. Mengmeng and her were not giving up on testing each other. Even Gu Mocheng had not noticed that he was smiling. Jian Jianan brought her gaze from Mengmeng to Gu Mocheng, her bright eyes, “Well well, if you were anything like your Er Hei, so quick to get on top of me, we would probably already have little monkeys. But for now…” “… I’m giving you a minute to get out of my room!” Gu Mocheng stormed out. Er Hei, like an idiot, trailed behind Gu Mocheng, secretly pleased as he glanced with provocation at Jian Jianan. “…” Jian Jianan was speechless. Under a minute, Jian Jianan walked out of the room. Strangely, her heels did not hurt as much anymore, compared to the afternoon. When she looked down to check, she noticed her bruise was fading and was getting better. Could it... Could Gu Mocheng’s bed have some sort of magical power? The bruises on her leg were better after sleeping for only two hours,’ she wondered. The living room and bedroom had adopted the same cool colour for its furnishings, elegant and modest but also exhibiting a similar sense of cold distance. The decorations and furniture were all expensive and invaluable, especially the art that hung on the wall. In a glance, Jian Jianan could recognize it was an authentic art piece by Fan Gao. This jerk was super rich! Suddenly, Jian Jianan twitched her nose, “Wow, what is that smell? It’s mouth-watering…” Glimpsing upon the delectable food set on the dining table, Jian Jianan’s eyes shone bright. She jogged happily to the dining table. However, the shadow of a huge dog leaped faster than she could move to the side of the dining table. His especially long fur caressed her calves as he slid past her, frightening Jian Jianan into a shriek again. She jumped, and found herself in Gu Mocheng’s arms. Carrying Jian Jianan, the fragrant and natural perfume that specifically belonged to her overwhelmed Gu Mocheng’s senses, causing him to freeze up. His handsome face instantly darkened, “Get down!” “I don’t want to! I’m scared of dogs!” Jian Jianan refused to let go, and instead hugged Gu Mocheng even tighter, their two bodies coming together, closely and intimately. Beside them, Mengmeng, thinking his master was being bullied, quickly dashed to the front of Jian Jianan and released a few fierce barks at her, seeming to order her to promptly let go of his master. Jian Jianan was already frightened out of her mind. She snuggled deeper into Gu Mocheng, refusing to look at Mengmeng, who was now baring his sharp teeth. In her panic, she kept repeating, “Go away! Don’t come near me!” Jian Jianan’s hips kept sliding around Gu Mocheng’s thigh, till he began to feel hot and aroused. He could feel an erection in his lower body. If not for Jian Jianan being truly terrified, Gu Mocheng would have really thrown her out of his house! “Mengmeng, go stand in the corner!” Mengmeng was very adept at reading his master’s expression. Knowing that his master was angry, he immediately and obediently scurried to the corner, his two eyes staring at Jian Jianan with jealousy. As Mengmeng stood in the corner with his two front paws up like a soldier, Jian Jianan could not help but laugh out loud at his antics. The fear and terror from a moment ago slowly disappearing. The saying was really true: There is always one thing to conquer another. “Get down, now!” Hearing Gu Mocheng’s low voice, laced with a hint of desire, Jian Jianan gazed up into his eyes. Looking into his deep eyes from this close, they were like the deep and wide night sky, like they could consume one’s soul in just a moment. As their gazes interlocked in that moment, the desire in Gu Mocheng’s eyes deepened. In that same moment, Jian Jianan also, vaguely, felt a hard and hot object protruding near her hips. Not only would 23 year-old Jian Jianan know what the protruding item was, this 18 year-old Jian Jianan was aware of what was happening. Gu Mocheng was having a physical reaction to her?
