Chapter 307: Chapter 244: Ahead of Schedule

Forcing back her embarrassment, Lin Qingge asked Gu Heng once more.

"No."

Gu Heng shook his head, his reply crisp and direct.

"Really?"

"You’re not lying to me?"

Upon hearing this, an immense wave of surprise washed over Lin Qingge.

"I wouldn’t stoop to lying about something so trivial."

Gu Heng said with a faint smile, a touch of defiant pride in his eyes.

"Then when you specifically said ’not that night,’ you were doing it on purpose!"

Lin Qingge finally realized Gu Heng had said that because he’d known she would keep asking. He wanted to use the opportunity to make her say that mortifying word out loud again.

"You could have chosen not to ask, you know."

Gu Heng replied with a grin, raising an eyebrow at Lin Qingge.

"So, are you saying nothing happened between you and Yiyi that night?"

Lin Qingge pressed on.

"I never said that."

Gu Heng held up a hand. "Ah, I only said we didn’t *do it* that night. I never claimed that nothing at all happened between Yiyi and me."

"Then what did happen?"

Lin Qingge bit her lip, pressing him for an answer.

"Guess~"

Gu Heng continued to tease her.

"Was it... like what we just did?"

’My emotions are completely at his mercy.’

’One word from him and I’m a nervous wreck.’

’The next, I’m overjoyed.’

"Compared to what we just did..."

Gu Heng replied softly, "...it was much more intense~"

Hearing this, Lin Qingge’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but widen.

’She felt that what they had just done was already going quite far, but she never imagined that what he and Liu Nanyi did that night was so much more intense.’

Instantly, countless racy scenes flashed through her mind.

’The kind of scenes that would make a group chat explode if you posted even one of them.’

’To think Liu Nanyi was already so far ahead... even if they hadn’t broken through that final barrier, they had to be close.’

"Chairman Gu..."

"Would you... like to come upstairs for a bit?"

As she asked this, Lin Qingge’s pretty face was completely flushed crimson.

Late at night. A man and a woman, all alone.

At a time like this, inviting a man upstairs was barely a step removed from a direct proposition—just a slightly more tactful way of putting it.

Gu Heng looked at Lin Qingge’s deeply blushing face. Her words just now felt strangely familiar.

"It’s too late today."

"Your group just had its debut performance."

"If I go upstairs with you tonight, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Though Gu Heng was tempted, he remained rational. "When you have a day off, tell me in advance. I’ll definitely come over for a visit then~"

"But I want to fast-track things tonight..."

Lin Qingge mumbled, her face flushing.

’Fast-track things?’

Gu Heng gazed at Lin Qingge’s radiant, lovely face. This time, he was truly tempted. Besides, he couldn’t seem to find any reason to refuse.

’It wouldn’t affect her dancing, after all. At worst, she’d just have to talk a little less tomorrow and keep her thank-yous short. It would barely affect their group stream the next day.’

"You really want to?"

Gu Heng’s gaze drifted to Lin Qingge’s lips, now rosy once more, as he asked softly.

"Yes! Yes!"

"We have to!"

’She was afraid that after tonight, she’d lose her nerve. So she had to push things forward, to secure a more important place in Gu Heng’s heart.’

"As you wish, then~"

With that, Gu Heng whispered a few words in Lin Qingge’s ear.

"I..."

"I don’t know how."

Lin Qingge’s face was so red it looked like it might burst. She lowered her head and mumbled.

"It’s fine~"

"Practice makes perfect~"

’He felt like the Big Bad Wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood. Even to his own ears, his voice sounded dangerously seductive.’

A moment later, the back of the car fell completely silent.

The only sound was the cold midnight wind, howling ceaselessly outside the window...
