‘Neanderthal?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked.
‘If you’re not a Neanderthal then who is?’ Qiao Tan Yuan asked. ‘What right do you have to hit someone? Who do you think you are? You’re only my ex-husband…’
Gu Jiao Wu lifted Qiao Tan Yuan up against the door, wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed her.
‘I’ll show what a Neanderthal looks like,’ Gu Jiao Wu whispered in Qiao Tan Yuan’s ear.
Gu Jiao Wu turned Qiao Tan Yuan around, carried her to a bed and ripped off her clothes…
In the middle of night, Qiao Tan Yuan fell asleep after Gu Jiao Wu exhausted her body. She left her phone in her bag, which was still in her unlocked car so her sleep wasn’t disturbed.
Gu Jiao Wu was satisfied after three rounds with Qiao Tan Yuan. He thought about their first time in his car. His car was too cramped, and Qiao Tan Yuan had an ankle injury so he held back. But on a s.p.a.cious bed he didn’t need to hold back. He could take Qiao Tan Yuan in any position… he stopped himself from thinking about how he moulded his body against her body otherwise he would want another round. He turned on the ceiling light, and looked at her sleeping face. Her eyelashes looked like two tiny fans. His kiss marks were on her milky soft body. He stroked her bare shoulder, and both his libido and stomach woke up. He reluctantly let go of her, and got out of bed.
The apartment Du Lei Xin gave Gu Jiao Wu had three bedrooms. He walked out of the master bedroom to a guest room, and called the front desk to deliver food to his apartment. Then he had a soothing hot shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist, walked out of the bathroom and heard a door knock. A young man delivered the food he ordered, and left. He returned to the master bedroom, Qiao Tan Yuan was still asleep. He sat on the bed, and smiled to see her relaxed sleeping face.
‘Tan Yuan…’ Gu Jiao Wu called. ‘Wake up and eat a meal.’
Qiao Tan Yuan pouted her lips, rolled over on the bed and continued to sleep. Just looking at her body made him feel like a hormonal boy. He realised he would always have an insatiable appet.i.te for her.
Gu Jiao Wu stood, and let Qiao Tan Yuan sleep a little longer. He walked to the living room, and ate his portion. He heard another knock at the door, and frowned. He checked the master bedroom, luckily the knock didn’t wake Qiao Tan Yuan up. Afterward he walked to the door, and was surprised to see Du Lei Xin standing behind the door.
‘What is it?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked.
Du Lei Xin looked at the towel wrapped around Gu Jiao Wu’s naked body then he looked over Gu Jiao Wu’s shoulder.
‘I heard you brought a woman here,’ Du Lei Xin said.
Du Lei Xin was curious who the woman was. It was the first time Gu Jiao Wu brought a woman to the apartment he gave Gu Jiao Wu.
‘Is there a problem?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked.
‘No problem,’ Du Lei Xin said. ‘OK, I admit I’m curious. I want to see who’s the special woman that you made an exception for by bringing her here.’
‘No,’ Gu Jiao Wu said.
Gu Jiao Wu didn’t let Du Lei Xin step into the apartment.
‘OK, if you’re not going to tell me then I won’t ask,’ Du Lei Xin said. ‘Later you can bring your woman to the master bathroom, and have a good time in the Jacuzzi.’
Gu Jiao Wu saw Du Lei Xin’s sly smile, and closed the door.
Gu Jiao Wu returned to the master bedroom, sat on the bed and Qiao Tan Yuan stirred awake. She opened her eyes, and looked blankly at the ceiling. Then she looked around the room, and saw Gu Jiao Wu’s wide grin. She immediately sat upright on the bed, and vivid memories of their bodies joining floated in her head. Her body ached too much for her to sit so she laid back down on the bed again.
‘Gu Jiao Wu, you…’ Qiao Tan Yuan said and raised her hand to slap Gu Jiao Wu.
Gu Jiao Wu caught Qiao Tan Yuan’s hand.
‘You still have energy?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked. ‘It appears I didn’t keep my promise by showing you what a Neanderthal I can be.’
‘You… AH!’ Qiao Tan Yuan cursed.
Qiao Tan Yuan’s chest was heaving from anger. She glared at Gu Jiao Wu, and noticed he was staring at her exposed b.r.e.a.s.t.s. She blushed, and pulled the bedsheet over her body.
Gu Jiao Wu smiled at the way Qiao Tan Yuan covered her b.r.e.a.s.t.s that he had memorised.
‘Are you hungry?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked. ‘Do you want to eat something?’
‘Stay away from me!’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
Qiao Tan Yuan didn’t know what she and Gu Jiao Wu were thinking. How could they make the same mistake, and tumble together in bed?
Qiao Tan Yuan looked around the bed for her clothes… her ripped clothes on the floor were reflected in her eyes. She felt another wave of body aches, and wanted to submerge her body in hot water. She wrapped the bedsheet around her naked body, and got out of bed. Her limp body staggered forward, and Gu Jiao Wu wrapped an arm around her waist before she fell onto the floor.
‘Let go of me!’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘What do you want to do?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked.
‘Shower,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said. ‘Let go of me!’
‘You want to shower?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked and smiled.
Gu Jiao Wu remembered Mr Little Du Demon’s advice. It was a good opportunity for him to test out the Jacuzzi for the first time with Qiao Tan Yuan.
‘What do you want?’ Qiao Tan Yuan asked.
Qiao Tan Yuan sensed the bright gleam in Gu Jiao Wu’s eyes would prolong her body aches. She ran outside the master bedroom. But he caught her, the bedsheet fell on the floor and carried her into the master bathroom. When her hands touched his hot skin, she realised he was naked under the towel.
‘Gu Jiao Wu, put me down!’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘If you still have energy, let’s have another round together,’ Gu Jiao Wu said.
Another round? Qiao Tan Yuan feared for her aching body. Gu Jiao Wu put her down in the Jacuzzi, and turned on the tap. He started another round with her before the tub was full of hot water.
After Gu Jiao Wu took full advantage of the Jacuzzi to pleasure Qiao Tan Yuan and himself, he dried their bodies, wrapped a towel tightly around her body and a towel around his waist. Then he carried her to the sofa in the living room.
‘What do you want to eat?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked.
Qiao Tan Yuan looked at the plates of food on the coffee table then she looked out the window at the dark night sky. She remembered her car was left unattended with her bag and phone. It was past midnight, and she was worried about Xiao Bao.
‘Take me home!’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘Even if I take you home now, Xiao Bao would be asleep,’ Gu Jiao Wu said. ‘Eat a meal first.’
‘How can you be so blase?’ Qiao Tan Yuan asked.
Didn’t Gu Jiao Wu know how to be embarra.s.sed? Qiao Tan Yuan was in no mood to eat the food Gu Jiao Wu ordered for her.
‘Take me home!’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘Um, I’ll take you home if you don’t mind walking outside in your attire,’ Gu Jiao Wu said.
‘You…’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
Qiao Tan Yuan didn’t have her bag or house keys. If Gu Jiao Wu drove her home, she would need to wake up her family. She wouldn’t know where to hide if her parents saw her and Gu Jiao Wu half naked together.
Qiao Tan Yuan was angry, but her stomach was hungrier. She tried to pick up one of the plates of food on the coffee table, and failed because she didn’t have enough energy. Gu Jiao Wu picked up a plate of food for her, and fed her. She didn’t thank him for feeding her, it was his fault her energy was depleted.
