Sweeter than Fiction

It's the devil's hour. Two luxurious cars arrived at a high-end residential area. The guards recognized Guan Ning's car and opened the gates.

"She's with me," he uttered as he saw the suspicious look between the guards' faces towards the car next to him. Both of them nodded and smiled at him.

Their cars stopped in front of Guan Ning's house. After opening the gates to his house, they parked into the court yard. He punched the code while Giselle is hugging his waist.

He opened the lights and it illuminated the whole living room with a hint of loneliness in it.

"Hmm, neat," Giselle commented as she spun her sight around the house. "Su Bin is not living with you?"

"No, he said he'd prefer living alone…and I do, too," Guan Ning quietly said while through rummaging his fridge, found a beer, and passed it to Giselle.

They took a seat on the couch next to each other. Giselle puts her beer on the table and leaned on Guan Ning's chest. The latter didn't protest and leisurely continued drinking his beer.

After a period of silence, Guan Ning spoke. "What brought you here?"

"Daddy has some business here. So, I took the opportunity to go with him to see you. I miss you," she answered while playing circles on his chest.

Guan Ning chuckled, "You little stalker."

Giselle stopped what she's doing and looked at him. Then she pounced at him and pinned him on the couch, surprising the man. "Don't you miss me?"

He burst into laughter and felt helpless. He amusingly looked at her in the eyes and nodded, adding, "A bit."

Giselle took it as a cue and kissed him passionately on his cold lips. Guan Ning accepted the kiss willingly and takes the lead as he flipped his body, making him on top of her. His foul mood uplifted once again and a fire ignited inside him. Yes, maybe this is what he needs right now.

Guan Ning vented all his frustration on sex. Giselle felt he was a bit rash but she didn't mind as long as it's him; he's doing it with her. Even though she knew deep in her heart that they're doing it just for fun, she's okay with it, as long as it's him.

They've been 'friends with benefits' for years now. They did it especially when Guan Ning is bored playing with his other girls. He thought that it's only casual sex – just a physiological need, but behind his back, Giselle had been taking it seriously.

She thought, no matter how many girls he dated, they are all going to be his toys, and at the end of the day, he'll still come running after her.

After their release, Guan Ning collapsed on top of Giselle, both of them gasping for air. As her breathing steadied, she asked, "What's wrong?" as she caressed his nape.

Guan Ning eased out of her, sit up, and lit a cigarette, not answering her question. He stood up naked and went to the counter to pour him some glass of water. After drinking, he came back while puffing his cigarette off.


Giselle just watched his every action, admiring the naked beauty in front of her, and didn't ask any further.

"If you want to stay here you can use the room next to mine. It's on the left," Guan Ning casually instructed while gathering his clothes thrown on the floor and went straight to his room.

Giselle was flabbergasted and did not react on time. As she regained to her senses, Guan Ning was already inside his room. She stood up angrily, picked her clothes and went to the room as he instructed, closing the door with a bang!
