"Ah? You... You scoundrel! Don't you dare take advantage of me!"

Zhang Yuxing was startled, embarrassed, repulsed, and angry as she struggled a few times.

But it was too cold, and the chill seemed to seep in with every movement, making her very uncomfortable.

Liu Zhizhong hugged her tighter and spoke with heartfelt sincerity, "Secretary Zhang, at this time, what's the point in caring about status, position, and dignity? If we don't do this, we might freeze to death. At that point, what would status, position, and dignity matter!"

"Imagine we freeze to death and someone finds us, huddled together on the bed. Oh dear, would your reputation sound good after that? Could the Zhang Family Members accept that?"

"What is the most precious thing to a person? It's life! You only live once, and staying alive is the most important thing. Tell me straight, do you want to live or die?"

"I..." Zhang Yuxing was left speechless by his words. Liu Zhizhong, this devilish creature, had hit the nail on the head with everything he said!

Seeing her reaction, Liu Zhizhong continued, "There we have it, right? We still want to live, don't we? There are so many good days ahead, aren't there? Come on, let's warm up with a kiss. After all, I'm a gentleman, just looking to stay alive, not to possess your body!"

"You... ah... mm... mm-mm~~~~"

In the darkness, Zhang Yuxing struggled a bit and her throat made stifled noises, because Liu Zhizhong had kissed her lips.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuxing's mind went blank, a tremor ran through her body, almost going stiff.

Liu Zhizhong was now thoroughly enjoying himself, those thin, little red lips, moist and cool, and delightfully fragrant, so satisfying.

Damn it, what about the Zhang Family? What about the women of the Zhang Family? Even if Zhang Yuxing was the proud representation of the Zhang Family women, so what?

Isn't it still necessary for me to kiss her, to touch her?

Hmm, and she's a member of the City Committee, a vice-ministerial level official. I'm just at a division level, but haven't I still got the upper hand over her?

After a moment of frenzy, Liu Zhizhong felt hot and restless, really wanting to strip Zhang Yuxing bare and take his fill of her.

But he also noticed that Zhang Yuxing was warming up, her body was getting softer, responding to him weakly and very clumsily. She still made a symbolic attempt to struggle, wanting to escape, but she couldn't break free.

Both of them were now sweating, and it was warm under the blanket, a seductive fragrance wafting about, driving Liu Zhizhong even more agitated, solid as iron.

Zhang Yuxing too was aware of his renewed vigor, and she felt his hands caressing her waist, back, and even her buttocks.

She was incredibly shy, quickly reaching out to move Liu Zhizhong's hands away, "Move away, don't touch me! I'm warm enough now, I don't need it anymore!"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled but was well-behaved, just holding her, "See, isn't my method effective? You might not need it now, but you'll definitely need it later."

"You bastard, shut your mouth, don't speak..."

"Let's keep talking, otherwise, we'll fall asleep and get cold faster. I've noticed, Secretary Zhang, that you don't know how to kiss. Have you never been kissed before? It felt like it was your first kiss, hehe..."

"Ah... you... jerk! Shut up!"

Zhang Yuxing was extremely irritated and punched him in the chest.

Indeed, at almost forty-one years old, there went her first kiss, extremely embarrassing.

Liu Zhizhong laughed heartily, "Eh? Is that so? My darling, you couldn't be an Old Chu Girl, could you?"

"Shut up! Your mom's the Old Chu Girl..."

Zhang Yuxing was in a furious frenzy, helplessly weak even in her insults.

Liu Zhizhong, being as shrewd as he was, caught on immediately, "Hehe, you really are an Old Chu Girl! I'm sorry for taking your first kiss. I'm very lucky, and I'll take responsibility for it."

"Take responsibility, my ass! What are you going to do, marry me?"

"Uh..."

Liu Zhizhong hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself that the age gap was too wide; he couldn't marry her, but he could still sleep with her, right? That delicate little behind of hers, he was quite fond of it, hehe...

This Old Chu Girl, haha... just the thought was exhilarating. Liu Zhizhong's blood boiled, and the feeling wouldn't go away!

However, he soon whispered magnetically into Zhang Yuxing's ear, "Secretary, what are you talking about? How could I possibly marry you? I have a wife, you know! Rest assured, though, you won't get cold tonight, and you won't die with me here. You'll be grateful."

"Grateful, my ass! You little bastard, only thinking of taking advantage of me!"

"What are you talking about? Look at you, you learned how to kiss from me, and you're pretty good at it now. Would you have experienced this wonderful part of the mortal world without me? Before, you never kissed your ex-boyfriend Luo Kejibai, did you? Hehe..."

Zhang Yuxing shuddered at his words, then said gravely, "How do you know about him?"

"Hehe..." Liu Zhizhong smirked, then sighed with emotion, "Ah... fate can be cruel, lovers who can't become spouses. I've heard about you and Luo Kejibai. It seems like Secretary Zhang has loved him all her life, never considering marriage because of him, truly touching! In times like these, it's rare to find a woman like you. Your existence makes me want to treasure you and care for you on behalf of Mr. Luo Ke."

"You... stop spewing nonsense, you're so shameless... ah..."

The next second, Zhang Yuxing let out a muffled cry as Liu Zhizhong kissed her lips again...
