Chapter 200: The Reason (Part 3)

"Zhou Ming, you are my man, the only man in my life!"

On the big bed in the room at the Yanjing Hotel, Su Han lay in Zhou Ming's arms. She stroked Zhou Ming's chest while muttering unconsciously, and Zhou Ming held her slender waist, soothing her after the emotional high. Zhou Ming's eyes wandered to the side, where a few drops of crimson blood on the white sheets were as striking as blooming flowers, representing Su Han's purity and her complete surrender to him.

Recalling Su Han's determination earlier, Zhou Ming felt a surge of emotion. He lowered his head and kissed her, asking, "How are you feeling now? Are you better?"

Su Han shook her head lightly and looked up at Zhou Ming, saying, "Zhou Ming, from today on, I'm your woman."

Zhou Ming disagreed, "Do you think so? But I don't quite see it that way."

Su Han was surprised by Zhou Ming's response. She was momentarily stunned, her mood visibly depressed, and her eyes dimmed. "Is that so? I'm sorry, it seems I was overthinking. I…"

Zhou Ming wasn't concerned with what Su Han was saying. He continued, "No matter how you see it, Xiaohan, to me, you've been my woman for a long time. Or rather, you've always been my woman. It's just that back then, you hadn't planned to completely give yourself to me, right?"

Su Han's body trembled at his words. She looked up with tearful, misty eyes and asked, "Zhou Ming, are you… are you serious?"

Zhou Ming pinched her soft cheek and said tenderly, "Not only are you beautiful, but you're also gentle and can cook so well. A perfect woman like you is someone I've always dreamed of having. It's just that my situation was poor before, and I was even fired from the factory. So someone like you was always out of reach."

Women often become blind in the presence of their lovers, especially beautiful women, because their emotional nature makes them rely on what they hear.

Zhou Ming's words made Su Han feel as if her heart was filled with honey. Her previous sadness vanished instantly. She buried her head in Zhou Ming's chest and said coquettishly, "How could it be like that? I'm not as great as you say."

Zhou Ming knew Su Han had returned to her senses. The earlier situation had startled him. Although it's gratifying to make his woman lose herself in ecstasy, he was dealing with someone he loved, not a hired escort. If something had really gone wrong, he wouldn't forgive himself.

"By the way, Xiaohan, what made you decide to go shopping for clothes today?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

Su Han hesitated, biting her lip, and said, "Zhou Ming, please don't get angry, okay?"

"Just tell me. As long as it's not something apocalyptic, I'm fine with it," Zhou Ming said.

Su Han nodded and began to explain her thoughts in detail. After hearing her explanation, Zhou Ming found himself both amused and exasperated.

From Su Han's words, Zhou Ming realized she had developed feelings for him when they were involved in trading treasury bonds. He wasn't surprised, as Su Han's pure and reserved nature wouldn't have led her to request sharing a room with him if she didn't have feelings for him.

However, the appearance of Lin Muqing made her feel threatened. Lin Muqing was even more beautiful and confident, causing the timid Su Han to feel unworthy of Zhou Ming. Though she didn't want to give up, she tried to align herself with Lin Muqing's image.

Initially, after spending a few months at the 760 factory with him, Su Han felt she was winning his heart. But the experiences in Yanjing, including dining with the deputy director of CCTV and entering Zhongnanhai, made her feel increasingly distant from his world and less confident.

Seeing the embassy car and the exquisitely beautiful foreign girl there made her realize the reality. Although she was on the verge of giving up, she didn't want to do so without making an effort. This internal struggle led her to decide to fully commit herself to Zhou Ming, not wanting to leave any regrets in her life.

After hearing Su Han's explanation, Zhou Ming was at a loss for words. He finally understood why she was so insistent on going to Yanjing University. It wasn't just because she had never been there, but also because she felt she was unworthy and wanted to find a foreign girl who seemed to match his level.

This reasoning was hard to understand, but sometimes, women's thoughts are difficult to fathom.

Realizing this, Zhou Ming knocked Su Han lightly on the head and said, "I really don't understand what you're thinking. We've known each other for so many years, since middle school. Do you think I would abandon you?"

Su Han covered her head, feeling wronged, and said, "I don't know. My reputation is not good. I'm afraid you'd dislike me. And you're so capable and can earn a lot of money. I'm just a rural girl, ignorant about many things. You entrusted me with the 760 factory, and I almost lost it. I feel like there's such a big distance between us, and Muqing and that foreign girl named Caitlin are more beautiful than me."

"So that's why you bought clothes similar to Muqing's?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Yes, I thought you might like it. Even if… even if you see me as a replacement for Muqing or that foreign girl, it's fine," Su Han said.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "You're such a fool. How could I ever see you as a substitute for someone else? You are you, not anyone else. You are unique. Besides, the person you encountered today, Niu Jie, is not a good person at all. What if Du Peng and I had arrived a bit later?"

"I wouldn't have been bullied by him. Even if I die, I wouldn't let him bully me!" Su Han declared fiercely.

"That's not worth it!" Zhou Ming said. "Su Han, no matter how you think, you are my woman from now on. I won't allow you to do such foolish things again. I want you to be safe and free from danger, understood?"

Su Han looked at Zhou Ming's resolute gaze and nodded after a long while, "I understand."

Zhou Ming smiled, "That's my little woman!"

"I'm not a little woman," Su Han muttered.

"Right, right, my Xiaohan isn't little. She's just right where she should be," Zhou Ming chuckled, his hands exploring Su Han's curves, lightly pinching her delicate peaks, causing her breathing to become rapid. "Zhou Ming, stop, it's so sensitive…"

Su Han's words turned into a tantalizing moan.

This made Zhou Ming pause for a moment. After all, it was their first time, and it had a somewhat rushed feel. However, upon reflection, Su Han's body seemed exceptionally sensitive and couldn't handle much teasing.

To confirm his thoughts, Zhou Ming's fingers moved again, eliciting a muffled moan from Su Han as she arched her neck, her graceful, white neck resembling a swan.

After a while, Su Han recovered and, with an unsatisfied look, protested, "You're such a rogue!"

"I'm a rogue indeed, beautiful. Are you regretting enticing me?" Zhou Ming provocatively lifted Su Han's chin.

"I don't regret it. Even if you're a rogue, I still want to entice you!" Su Han replied defiantly, though her blushing expression betrayed her inner feelings.

Zhou Ming gazed at Su Han's flushed, beautiful face, her arched brows and misty eyes adding to her allure. Her slightly open, rosy lips revealed white, even teeth, and her full chest rose and fell with her breathing. Her entire body, now lightly swaying due to the teasing, was like gasoline for his desire.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming's heart raced, and he couldn't resist kissing her tempting red lips.

Facing her lover's advances, Su Han would not refuse. Whether Zhou Ming wanted to kiss her lips or savor her sweet tongue, she willingly gave herself.

With such a woman who had completely opened up to him, Zhou Ming wasn't limited to kissing. His hands traveled down Su Han's bare back, knowing how sensitive her body was. As his hands moved, Su Han's body subtly shifted, as if his touch were a hot iron, making her want to escape but also crave it.

Su Han's delicate skin reminded Zhou Ming of the stockings she had worn earlier and of his previous experience in Hong Kong with a top financial reporter.

Though Zhou Ming wasn't particularly fond of stockings, their smooth feel was captivating. He wondered what it would be like if Su Han wore those black stockings again now. Would she think of him as a pervert?

A delicate moan pulled Zhou Ming back to reality. With such a charming girl in his arms, why think about irrelevant things? Satisfying his woman came first!

With this thought, Zhou Ming flipped Su Han onto her back and pinned her arms to the bed, looking down at her beautiful face. "Beautiful, how do you want me to take you?"

Su Han turned her head away, unable to meet Zhou Ming's intense gaze. Her voice was soft and hesitant, "I'm already your woman. You can do whatever you want."

Su Han's voice was tender, like a kitten's meow, and it made Zhou Ming's rationality explode instantly. He lowered his head and kissed her lips aggressively, while his waist pressed forcefully, reuniting them once more.
