Fu Shinian originally had no intention of demanding anything from Su Mu tonight, as he was also tired. However, Su Mu was like poppy to him, irresistibly tempting once encountered. Even though his desire was ignited by her, he eventually stopped at the last moment. With hard-won progress at stake, he couldn't ruin it all on a whim.
As long as he could make Su Mu accept their relationship, he would be free to do what he wanted, whenever he wanted. But if he forced her today, they might never get past this point.
He kissed her fiercely and then lay down beside her:
"Let's sleep. We'll talk about the things you mentioned once we get back to Shen City."
Su Mu lay quietly for a while, gathering up her bathrobe. Despite not liking sharing a bed like this, she seemed to have no escape. At least for now, Fu Shinian didn't seem to intend to let her go. Thinking about the work she had the next day, Su Mu didn't want to struggle over this with Fu Shinian any longer and closed her eyes.
