A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 55

“Hiss… it hurts, be gentler.”

Luo Panzhi let out a low groan, his voice deep but the words themselves were quite delicate, causing his chest to resonate.

Gu Yuxi spread the cool ointment onto his palm and began rubbing it over Luo Panzhi’s chest muscle. Feeling how tightly the muscle was wound and unable to relax after being tense for so long, he applied a little more force. “You’re the one who said it hurts. If you complain again, I won’t help you rub it anymore. You’re so delicate.”

Under his palm was the texture of Luo Panzhi’s pectorals. It felt as if he was holding onto the masculine hormone covered by the skin and flesh. The thought that Luo Panzhi had endured two hours of boxing for his sake—this Alpha’s sincerity and passion—undoubtedly gave Gu Yuxi greater courage.

His partner was the young President Luo of the Galaxy Group. It was conceivable that one day in the future, Luo Panzhi and he would become a much-watched couple, not to mention the fact that he, an Alpha, could become pregnant.

He was bound to become the focus of public attention once again, just as he was the first patient with a secondary differentiation genetic defect.

But it didn’t matter. Luo Panzhi was his confidence.

He was also the courage he needed to have this child.

Luo Panzhi inhaled deeply, adjusting to the sour pain transmitted by his muscle: “Hoo… who’s delicate?”

He turned his gaze to look at Gu Yuxi sitting beside him, helping to massage his chest. With his eyes cast down, Gu Yuxi was as serious and meticulous as if he were working, even while giving a massage. Feeling the warmth transferred from the palm, his heartbeat seemed to thud heavily with every rub.

“What are you looking at me for?” Gu Yuxi could feel Luo Panzhi’s gaze even without looking up. His hands continued to rub downward over the tight muscles. “Relax.”

Luo Panzhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud at Gu Yuxi’s reprimand.

His laughter was deep and gentle, carrying an indescribable indulgence. Gu Yuxi felt the muscles under his palm vibrating with the laughter, making his fingertips feel a little numb. “…What are you laughing at?”

“I’m thinking, what am I going to do?” Luo Panzhi reached out and pressed down on the hand Gu Yuxi was using to massage his abdominal muscles, covering the back of his hand. “You’re having a baby, so I’ll have to sleep in an empty room for ten months.”

“Hmm, bear with it then,” Gu Yuxi felt a little tired sitting this way and changed to a kneeling position.

He was completely unaware that Luo Panzhi’s eyes had deepened, his gaze utterly captivated by Gu Yuxi who was now kneeling beside him.

The long legs, clad in suit trousers, knelt on the dark bedding, with his white, slender feet tucked under his hips. As he pushed the muscles from top to bottom, the moment he slightly lifted his body, the curve of his waist and hips instantly stretched, outlined perfectly by the white shirt tucked into his waistband.

In Luo Panzhi’s eyes, it was a visual sniper shot, so sensual it was almost suffocating.

“Baby,” he called out, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he restrained the surging emotion.

Then he saw the corner of Gu Yuxi’s lips turn down slightly, and immediately afterward, Gu Yuxi lifted his head. Their eyes met. As if captured by this man’s vision, Luo Panzhi fell into a daze.

Just then, a tingling sensation came from the fingertips tracing over his abdomen, and his muscles tightened.

“Young President Luo, you need to relax.” Gu Yuxi’s hand pushed upward along the sexy shark lines. As if sensing the tension in the lines, his gaze followed upward, finally settling on Luo Panzhi’s profound and concealed expression. As if inadvertently, he lowered his gaze again, hiding the smile in his eyes: “If you don’t relax, I really won’t do this anymore. After all, I’m just a lawyer, not a masseur.”

Luo Panzhi quickly pinned down the naughty, provocative hand, used the leverage to sit up, leaned back against the headboard, and smoothly pulled Gu Yuxi into his arms, making sure to protect his lower back.

Gu Yuxi seemed to have anticipated this move and, maintaining a calm expression, placed his hand on Luo Panzhi’s chest.

The distance between them was instantly closed.

“It’s nighttime. Don’t provoke me, really. Don’t casually provoke me for these nine months.” Luo Panzhi laced his fingers through Gu Yuxi’s, yet his eyes couldn’t leave that face.

Perhaps the storm of love came too fiercely. They were not only caught in the storm, but the crystallization of their love had already appeared. Even though they were still in the passionate phase of their romance and hadn’t fully enjoyed it, they had to stop abruptly.

How could they willingly stop when they hadn’t had enough?

“A kiss is fine,” Gu Yuxi leaned forward, bit Luo Panzhi’s lower lip, and slightly looked up. The light reflected brilliantly under his glasses, scattering a sensual allure wrapped in slyness within his eyes.

Luo Panzhi thought, who could resist this?

Since he couldn’t go all the way, then kissing for an hour should be acceptable, right? It wasn’t like they hadn’t kissed for an hour before.

He gently cupped the back of Gu Yuxi’s neck with his palm and deepened the kiss.

— The One-Hour Kiss Divider —

It was almost a cycle of stopping to rest, then kissing, then getting addicted again. Being two Alphas, their expression of emotion was direct and passionate. However, due to the baby, they couldn’t be reckless anymore and finally had to call it quits.

Young President Luo expressed his grievance.

What kind of thing is it to get pregnant on the very first try?

Seeing how utterly wronged his Young Boss was, Lawyer Gu reluctantly said, “Shall we go shower together?”

Young President Luo’s eyes suddenly lit up. As if he remembered something, he sprang off the bed, yelped from the resulting muscle pain, but didn’t let that stop his urge to find something: “Wait for me!”

Gu Yuxi: “…” Why is he so excited?

Within a few minutes, Luo Panzhi walked out of the cloakroom, holding a fluffy, long-eared bunny ear headband. Its style bore a striking resemblance to the Doberman dog ears from last time.

Gu Yuxi’s expression shifted: “What are you doing with that?”

Honestly, he couldn’t play these games anymore. He found Luo Panzhi’s temptation hard to resist.

“Jian Wenxing gave me two sets of ears last time. I never got around to using this bunny ear one,” Luo Panzhi walked to the bed, stroking the bunny ears, and looked pleadingly at Gu Yuxi: “Wifey, wifey~ Could you wear it for me to see?”

Gu Yuxi: “…?!?”

Does this cousin always play with this stuff?

Luo Panzhi sat down next to Gu Yuxi, hugged his arm, and rubbed his head against his shoulder, attempting to use cuteness to commit an evil act: “Just wear these white bunny ears and my shirt, okay?”

Inner pervert roared: Preferably one that makes it look like you’re not wearing pants!!

Gu Yuxi expressionlessly pushed Luo Panzhi’s head away: “Why don’t you wear it? If you want to wear it, put it on yourself.” However, his ears involuntarily turned red. Being asked to wear those fluffy bunny ears—no way!

“I also wore the Doberman dog ears for you last time,” Luo Panzhi decided he wouldn’t stop until he achieved his goal. He was ready to talk his mouth raw if he had to make Gu Yuxi wear it just once.

“Why did you wear it last time? Don’t you know yourself?” Gu Yuxi snatched the bunny ears from Luo Panzhi’s hand, stuffed them under the pillow, flipped out of bed, and headed to the bathroom: “If you’re not washing, I’ll wash by myself.”

Luo Panzhi stared at the bunny ears peeking out from under the pillow, his eyes dark. Could he force his wife to wear the fluffy things?

He dared not.

“I’m coming to wash with you!!”

In the bathroom, under the shower, a foamy hand ran through wet hair. The warm water flow softened the lather, which slid down the shoulder blades and finally disappeared into the drain under the marble.

Gu Yuxi closed his eyes, allowing Luo Panzhi’s impulsive desire to wash his hair, and felt a gentle fingertip wipe away the foam that was about to fall into his eyes: “Do you have any leads on Mo Wenbin?”

Luo Panzhi’s fingers, rubbing the hair, paused: “We are taking a lovers’ bath right now. Why bring up that repulsive person?”

“The court can’t open for trial until Mo Wenbin is caught, concerning the Ruixing Hospital case, and the case where Mo Wenbin coerced Song Yinling into intentionally harming me. I feel uneasy until this matter is resolved,” Gu Yuxi thought of how the police had contacted him multiple times over the past half-month to identify suspects, all to no avail: “I’m very worried about what else he might do.”

Mo Wenbin had already used the vicious means of sexual assault to coerce two people into death due to secondary differentiation. Since not everyone has this genetic defect, Gu Yuxi couldn’t imagine what Mo Wenbin had done over the years.

He was also uncertain if Mo Wenbin’s goal was entirely aimed at him.

Regardless, a thousand cuts would not be enough to atone for the crimes Mo Wenbin had already committed, including the incident where Gu Yuxi became an Alpha and almost lost his child.

He tried to open his eyes as he spoke, but Luo Panzhi pressed down on his eyelids with his fingertip.

Warm water flowed from the top of his head.

“Speaking of which, I have to criticize you. Why didn’t you tell me about your back pain this half-month? If Xu Wen hadn’t told me you went for a physical and needed a lumbar CT, I wouldn’t have known about your back pain. If you had taken the CT scan, this child really wouldn’t have been viable, and crying wouldn’t have helped.”

Through the sound of the water, Gu Yuxi heard Luo Panzhi’s sternly critical voice and felt inexplicably guilty. He was genuinely scared; if the doctor hadn’t been suspicious, he might have actually undergone the CT scan.

But there was a reason he hadn’t mentioned the back pain.

“You were away on a business trip for eight days this half-month. You weren’t here when it hurt, and it stopped hurting when you came back, so I didn’t think it was a big deal,” Gu Yuxi said, and then heard the water stop abruptly. A soft, large towel covered his head.

“So you’re saying I don’t care about you enough,” Luo Panzhi covered Gu Yuxi’s head with the towel, then wrapped another towel around his lower body, pulled over a large bath towel for his own lower half, and began drying Gu Yuxi’s hair.

Gu Yuxi opened his eyes. The wet strands of hair in front of his forehead tickled his vision as the towel rubbed, and he heard the apology in Luo Panzhi’s tone: “No, I just felt it wasn’t something worth mentioning. Luo Panzhi, I’m an Alpha, after all, not that fragile.”

“Our Luo family men just dote on their wives like this. I just can’t bear to see you suffer. Even if you told me you accidentally bumped into a table and said you weren’t hurt, I’d still cry, believe it or not?”

Gu Yuxi looked at Luo Panzhi’s serious expression, who looked like he could genuinely cry in the next second, and pursed his lips to keep from laughing out loud.

Luo Panzhi paused in drying his hair, saw Gu Yuxi suppressing a laugh, and frowned: “What are you laughing at? I’m being very serious with you right now.”

“I actually quite like seeing you cry,” Gu Yuxi couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing that Gu Yuxi dared to make fun of him, Luo Panzhi put his palm over his head and gave it a rough rub, messing up the smooth hair he had just dried: “I care for you so much, and you still make fun of me. You heartless Alpha, I’m mad now!”

“Then be mad,” Gu Yuxi’s eyes felt a little itchy from his hair, so he blinked to avoid it, unable to hold back his laughter: “You are adorable when you cry and when you’re angry, like a delicate little princess.”

Luo Panzhi looked incredulous, as if this was the first time he realized his image in Gu Yuxi’s mind was that. He wrinkled his face: “No way, I’m very mighty, aren’t I? I can’t be a little princess.”

The tail end of his voice trembled with uncertainty as he said mighty.

Then he saw Gu Yuxi holding his shoulders and laughing so hard he couldn’t straighten up. He originally wanted to salvage a bit of his image, but Gu Yuxi’s smile dazzled him.

This naturally cool-looking face was already handsome. Even his usual slight smiles were cold in his eyes, but this laugh was like a winter snow falling onto a pear blossom on a tree, shaking the petals until they fluttered down—no, until they fell into his heart.

Clear and cheerful laughter echoed in the bathroom, without any restraint; he was completely relaxed. Luo Panzhi had never seen Gu Yuxi laugh this happily.

Luo Panzhi’s heart conceded, and he chuckled: “Fine, I’ll be your princess.”

As long as it made Gu Yuxi happy, he didn’t care what he was.

Gu Yuxi was still laughing. He pulled the large towel off his head and placed it on Luo Panzhi’s. He reached behind Luo Panzhi to grab the bath towel around his waist, pulled him close, and kissed him without a word.

The towel was large, blocking out the surrounding light. The kiss was concealed in the shadow created by the towel, like a secret that neither was willing to share, not even the sound of their breathing.

“I’m very happy today,” Gu Yuxi said after the kiss, resting his hands on Luo Panzhi’s neck and pressing his forehead against his: “Meeting you is the happiest thing that’s happened in the thirty years I’ve lived. How is it that I love you so much?”

Luo Panzhi smiled softly, leaned forward, and kissed his eyelids:

“Because I love you, too.”

Because he loved Gu Yuxi, Gu Yuxi could love him this much.

Only by providing each other with enough security can love transform into an even deeper affection for one another.

Gu Yuxi hugged Luo Panzhi tightly, placing his lips close to Luo Panzhi’s ear: “Since you’ve been so well-behaved, I’ll wear the bunny ears and your shirt for you to see.”

Luo Panzhi froze for two seconds, then the corners of his mouth shot up wildly. But he didn’t want to show his excitement too obviously, so he slightly pursed his lips:

“Oh, really?”

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

“You don’t want it?” Gu Yuxi pulled off the towel, released Luo Panzhi, turned, and walked out of the bathroom, his eyes filled with a smile.

“Want it, want it, want it~~~” Seeing him about to leave, Luo Panzhi quickly hugged him from behind, shaking his shoulders: “Baby, I want to see your little bunny~~ Please~~”

The two of them, still clingy, walked into the cloakroom.

“The bunny ears and just your shirt are enough?” Gu Yuxi walked to the closet where perfectly ironed, uniform shirts hung, and casually picked one out.

Luo Panzhi’s eyes lit up. Could he possibly propose an even bolder request?!

Gu Yuxi turned around with the shirt, smiling as he counter-questioned: “Don’t you like the no pants look?”

Luo Panzhi’s breath caught. Facing the tempting smile in Gu Yuxi’s eyes, his heart leaped wildly in his chest. Gu Yuxi truly had a complete grasp of all his preferences; how could this man perfectly capture his thoughts? His heart fluttered, and he cupped the back of Gu Yuxi’s neck, leaning down to plant a fierce kiss on him.

“Baby, I’m completely in love with you.”

Only Gu Yuxi understood him best.
