His eyes seemed to bore into her soul, but she stood her ground, her heart pounding in her chest," di...d you plan to touch me," she stammered. His expression softened as he took a step back," I promise, gu sheng sheng, I won't touch you until you fall in love with me, " he said, his voice husky as he sighed.
Her eyes widened in surprise; no one had ever made her such a promise; she felt a glimmer of hope maybe the marriage wouldn't be so bad after all.
Just then, a knock at the door broke the tension," come in," No Qingcheng called out. The door opened, and a tall, imposing figure stepped inside.
"Sir, I've brought the tea that you requested," he said, his voice deep and smooth.
Her eyes landed on the newcomer, and she felt a sense of curiosity, who was this man?
"Ah, Alan, thank you," he said, nodding at the man. "Gu sheng sheng,this is bulter Alan. He's been with me for many years,"
Gu Sheng Sheng smiled hesitantly at Alan, who bowed his head slightly in response.
"Drink this,i will help refresh your body," Mo qingcheng said,handing over a delicate,antique China cup filled with steaming hot rose tea. The fragrant aroma of rose petals wafted up,enticing Gu shengsheng to take a sip. The tea's soft pink hue seemed to glow in the dim light and the delicate petals floating on its surface added a touch of elegance.
Gu Shengsheng's eyes widened slightly as she took the cup from Mo Qingcheng. The delicate handle felt warm to the touch, and the aroma of rose tea enveloped her senses. She brought the cup to her lips, feeling a sense of trepidation. What if she didn't like the taste?
But as she took a sip, she was surprised by the subtle sweetness and gentle flavor of the rose tea. It was soothing and calming, and she felt a sense of relaxation wash over her. Mo Qingcheng's eyes seemed to gleam with satisfaction as he watched her drink.
"Feel better?" he asked, his voice low and husky.
Gu Shengsheng nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. "Yes, thank you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Mo Qingcheng smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm glad you like it," he said. "Rose tea is one of my favorites. It's said to have calming properties, and it's perfect for soothing the nerves."
As they sipped their tea, the tension in the room seemed to dissipate, replaced by a sense of calm and tranquility. Gu Shengsheng felt her guard drop slightly, and she began to see Mo Qingcheng in a new light.
But as she looked into his eyes, she saw something there that made her heart skip a beat. A glimmer of intensity, a hint of passion. It was a look that made her feel like he could see right through her, to the very soul of her being.
And in that moment, Gu Shengsheng knew that she was in trouble.
