Chapter 1153: Extra Chapter Eighteen

The woman’s soft body collided firmly with the man’s solid frame.

Huo Chengyi pushed her away and stepped back, increasing the distance between them.

"Ms. Sheng, please show some restraint."

"I am very restrained, fully valuing my inner needs, which is why I follow my heart’s desires without leaving any regrets," Sheng Wushuang candidly stated.

"That’s twisted logic," Huo Chengyi frowned coldly.

"It’s not twisted logic, it’s the truth. I like you, in the way a woman likes a man, clear and simple," Sheng Wushuang’s eyes were seductive, yet her voice was sincere.

Sheng Wushuang rarely admitted to liking someone; she had never even been in a relationship before.

But now, she had met someone who stirred her heart and, even for the first time, she did not hold back.

She didn’t like to hide her feelings. If she couldn’t express her thoughts freely, what was the point of living?

"If you’re referring to that incident, I think there’s no need to dwell on it. It was just a helping hand, nothing more," Huo Chengyi explained.

The complicated relationship between Huo Chengyi and Sheng Wushuang began two months earlier, at a cruise event attended by business elites, which both of them had attended.

Sheng Wushuang was unlucky that day, harassed by a spoiled second-generation rich kid, and in the scuffle, she fell into the cruise ship’s swimming pool.

Her dress clung to her body when it became wet, revealing her figure completely, and Huo Chengyi, ever the gentleman, helped her out of the pool and draped his jacket over her.

Huo Chengyi could never have imagined that such a gesture would cause Sheng Wushuang to latch onto him.

Sheng Wushuang was wealthy, influential, and capable, with a strong and decisive personality; everything she did was swift and effective. Huo Chengyi had heard of her before, and had even once expressed admiration for her approach.

But he had never anticipated that one day, this powerful woman whom he had praised would suddenly pursue him, which somewhat troubled him.

Sheng Wushuang responded, "Some things are just so wonderful. Your action that day wasn’t particularly moving, but it stirred something in me in an instant, and I couldn’t control it. I can’t fully explain why, but I want to follow what my heart tells me and do what it desires."

"No matter how you think of it, it’s meaningless. I have already said I won’t get married again. And if I remember correctly, Ms. Sheng, you’re against marriage," Huo Chengyi stated clearly.

"I didn’t say I wanted to marry you. I don’t need you to take responsibility for me. I just want to date you. Dating is dating, marriage is marriage; they are two different things."

Sheng Wushuang didn’t see this as a problem at all.

"Even so, it doesn’t have to be me. I believe with Ms. Sheng’s charm, if you wished, plenty of people would be willing to have a no-marriage relationship with you," Huo Chengyi said with a serious expression, trying to dissuade her coldly.

"But I’m only interested in you, only you make my heart race," Sheng Wushuang did not hide her true feelings.

Such phrases, which other girls might be too shy to say, she could say without any pressure.

During the conversation, Sheng Wushuang stepped forward, her eyes lifted and brimming with allure, her demeanor coquettish.

"So, Mr. Huo, why are you avoiding me? Is it because you don’t like me? Or because you’re afraid of falling for me?" Sheng Wushuang countered.

"Sheng Wushuang, stop this nonsense!" Anger tinged Huo Chengyi’s face.

Far from being intimidated, Sheng Wushuang revealed a coquettish smile: "Huo Chengyi, you’re actually drawn to me, aren’t you?"
