Fatal Attraction: Hunger For Your Love And Affection

"Wendy, it's your turn. Are you brave enough to try something exciting?" Jackson Liu nudged her as he sat beside her.

Upon hearing this, Wendy Gu curled her lips and said in her enchanting but cold voice, "What do you mean?"

"Look at the door," Jackson answered as he pointed at the entrance of the bar. "Soon, the guests will come flooding in. The rule of the game is that starting now, when the first man comes in, you have to unbutton his shirt. If you manage to do that, I'll drink this whole bottle of liquor. But if you can't do it, you're the one who has to drink!"

"How many buttons do I have to remove?" The others with them were so excited that they started whistling and shouting.

"At least three!"

Intuitively, Wendy was about to refuse. Jackson had expected this reaction from her, so before she could, he added, "Wendy, do you care that much about your fiance that you wouldn't even dare to play the game?"

Did Wendy really care about her fiance?

No, she didn't even love him. Why would she care?

But even if they didn't love each other, they were still engaged.

Jackson's bold proposal left people on the edge of their seats. However, Wendy wasn't one to easily admit defeat. After calming her nerves, she flashed a grin. "Okay. Watch and learn!"

At that moment, everyone was in high spirits.

Slowly, Wendy stood up and walked towards the door.

She was a tall woman with an elegant air. She was pure, sweet, and had just the right amount of coldness that made her uniquely impressive.

When someone came in, the dim light flickered.

The person had a strong, masculine figure. His sexy lips were pursed, he had a great body, and he had an air of mystery and nobility about him.

"Sir."

Upon calming down, Wendy halted him.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her. His eyes were as deep as the bottomless ocean.

"Those buttons on your shirt are particularly chic. May I take a closer look at them?" This man was wearing a dark suit, and even his shirt was dark in color, his overwhelming aura quietly permeating throughout the whole room.

It looked like he was not an ordinary man; but a dangerous one.

Although she had some difficulties talking at first, she still managed to speak.

With his eyebrows still raised and lips quivering, it appeared as though this request caught him off guard. However, it piqued his curiosity, so he walked up to her.

Every step he got closer made Wendy's heart beat faster for no apparent reason. The temperature around her lowered drastically, and she smelled the faint scent of tobacco from the man.

At last, the man stopped one pace away from Wendy.

"How do you want to see them?" the man asked flatly.

Subconsciously, Wendy looked at his chest. "Unbutton your shirt."

His eyes narrowed when he heard her.

The next second, he held Wendy in his arms. The pleasant smell of musk pervaded, and her body suddenly trembled, because the man had placed her hand on his chest. His masculine breath engulfed her, and it felt strange and dangerous.

"Let me go!" Reflexively, she tried to push him away.

"Weren't you the one who asked for it?" His breath seeped into her skin, like gusts of wind blowing across water. It felt cold and malicious, but it somehow felt elegant. "So, now that you're scared, you changed your mind, huh?"

"Of course not," Wendy denied as her heart was beating like a snare drum. He took her hand and placed it on the buttons of his shirt. For a second, her fingers touched his skin, and it made her tremble.

"It seems that you're not as open as you appear to be. You're still young and inexperienced, girl." There was a hint of taunting in his low voice. It wasn't a frivolous voice, but it was steady, calm, and deep.

Enveloped by his warmth, Wendy felt the powerful beating of his heart.

She subconsciously moved away from the man's warm breath and quickly unbuttoned three buttons from his shirt. "Thanks."

When she finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk away, he stopped her.

Stunned, Wendy stared into the man's deep and dark eyes with confusion.

Alex Mu gazed at the woman in his arms. There was a faint fragrance coming from her body. It was so amazing that it deeply turned him on. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Since I've helped you, how will you reward me?"

"What?"

"Do you want to be my woman?"

Wendy's eyes widened at once.

In that moment, she became more certain that this man was as dangerous as a jaguar.

Upon seeing her panic, his eyes dimmed as he looked down.

Before long, someone respectfully approached the man. "Mr. Alex, they're waiting for you upstairs. Would you like to go upstairs now?"

Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows and released his grip on Wendy. "We'll meet again, trust me!"

Afterwards, he walked away before Wendy had the chance to react.

Would they really meet again?

That man sounded so certain, and he had a triumphant tone, which made people think that he was so... mysterious!

Wendy watched him as he went upstairs. The features of his face were defined, his eyes were deep, and he had a strong aura that easily attracted other people's attention. His high nose looked like a work of art, and his thin lips were beautiful. It seemed that he had some sort of power that nobody would dare to desecrate!

On her fingertips, she could still feel his warmth. She snorted coldly and went back to the bar counter, tossing aside what the man had just declared.

The game of Truth or Dare continued. It was a lively party because it was a gathering between classmates before they went their separate ways, so everyone was drinking alcohol.

A few glasses of wine was enough to make Wendy tipsy.

There was no bathroom on the first floor, so she staggered her way to the second floor. Her eyes had gone blurry as she pushed open the door of one VIP room.

All of a sudden, the people in the room stared at her, knowing that she was an "uninvited guest". The man in the middle squinted when he saw Wendy.

His strong arms were resting on the sofa as he looked nonchalantly. His tall body had an air of nobility and mystery, and his eyes that resembled an eagle's were astonishing. He waved his hand, and at once, everyone left the room.

When Wendy rubbed her eyes and blinked several times, she realized that she had gone to the wrong place.

The man's husky voice reached her ears then, and it sounded particularly enticing.

"Are you here for me?"

"Sorry, I had the wrong place." After blurting this out, she finally came to her senses. Then, she turned around and was just about to leave.

Slightly raising his thin lips, Alex said in a deep voice, "Are you really going to come and leave just like that?" He stood up. His tall frame moved closer to her, giving off such an intimidating aura, which made Wendy panic. Then, he said, "Are you playing hard to get?"

Trying to remain composed, Wendy flatly replied, "I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding." To prevent the man from reading too much into it, Wendy explained, "I just want to go to the restroom."

"If a woman unbuttons a man's shirt, do you think that's going to make him lose his mind?" After saying these words, he slammed the table with his knuckles. It made such a loud noise that Wendy's heart started pounding loudly in her chest.

Pulling herself together, she said in a rather cold tone, "We were just playing Truth or Dare. I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. If I caused you any trouble, I hope you can forgive me."

Hearing this, Alex raised his eyebrows slightly, curling his thin lip. Then, in a hoarse and magnetic voice, he said, "I thought you were throwing me hints or something!"

Looking straight into the man's deep gaze and his handsome face, which was glimmering in the light, Wendy furrowed her eyebrows and curled her lip as well. "I'm not interested in men who are old enough to be my uncle."

Wendy only said this to stop the man from having any weird ideas.

She just really wanted to keep him from getting his hopes up.

"Uncle?" Alex frowned a little when he heard this, and his bright eyes darkened a little as well, revealing a hint of mystery in it. "Do I really look that old to you? Or is this just how girls flirt with guys these days?"

He didn't look old at all.

It was just that he gave off a mature, elegant, and masculine vibe, which girls liked very much.

She couldn't help but feel that he was just too strong. No matter what she said, he could easily refute with only a few words, leaving her unable to say anything else.

In the end, Wendy straightened her clothes and said, "See you later!" Simply put, she didn't want to have anything to do with this man anymore.

He smirked and said, "Does that mean we're going to meet again someday?"

The smile on his face looked so attractive. In fact, it would probably be enough to enchant a lot of women.

Wearing a deep frown, she downright refused him before leaving, and she said, "Never again!"

As he watched her receding figure, Alex's mysterious eyes narrowed slightly. Whether they were going to see each other again or not was not up to her. For as long as he wanted, he could see her at any time.

Alex's assistant, Jim Tan, came in and politely handed some documents to him. "This is all the information we could get about her, Mr. Alex."

"Wendy Gu, Ace Tang's fiancee..." As the blue flame rose, Alex lit up a cigarette. It was hard to read the expression on his face, however, he said to his assistant in a rather flat voice, which seemed particularly complicated, "Have you booked the ticket?"

"Everything is ready. You may leave at any time." Upon saying this, Jim Tan asked Alex, "The secretaries have booked a hotel there. Will you check in directly or..."

"I heard that he has been staying at the hotel and having the time of his life, surrounded by pretty women. Isn't that right?" Before Jim Tan could finish his words, Alex abruptly cut him off.

Even without asking, Jim Tan knew who Alex was referring to. So, he quickly answered, "Yes, he's staying at the NC Hotel."

"I'll go and meet him first." His cold voice echoed in the room as he stood up, revealing the light that was hidden before. The light had been covered by his figure. And he gave off a naturally imposing aura.

Soon, a day had passed.

The flight was right on schedule and went smoothly. The plane landed safely in A City. After dragging her suitcase out, Wendy took a deep breath.

Someone was walking towards her.

"Hello, Miss Gu. I'm the driver of the Tang family," the driver greeted her and introduced himself. Then, he reached out his hand to take the suitcase from Wendy and politely said, "Mr. Tang asked me to pick you up. The car is ready outside."

"Thank you," Wendy replied. Then, she went on and said, "I can do it myself."

"Miss Gu, you are welcome..."

After leaving the airport, the driver put her suitcase in the trunk and started the car. And the two of them headed to the villa of the Tang family.

At the age of eight, she was brought back to the Tang family by Barry Tang, and she could barely remember anything about that time. At the age of eighteen, she was engaged to Ace under the request of Barry Tang. After that, she decided to further her studies abroad and didn't return until today. Now, she came back to the Tang family as the future daughter-in-law. Wendy couldn't help feeling weird because of it.

The villa was about an hour away from the airport. As soon as they arrived, the driver politely helped Wendy take out her suitcase. After taking a good look at the villa in front of her, she finally walked in. Before she reached the living room, she heard a sharp female voice.

"What? Are you crazy, Barry Tang? How can you let a wolf into our family?"

"And why can't he come back?" a man's voice echoed in the room.

"He has been away for so many years, and now he intends to take over the Tang Group. Are you seriously going to leave the Tang family in the hands of an outsider?" the woman exclaimed again.

A deep frown appeared on Wendy's face. She could recognize the voices before she even saw them.

The calm male voice belonged to Barry, Ace's father. As for the sharp female voice, it belonged to a woman named Joy Chi.

"Take over? An outsider?" Barry Tang snorted, "He's a member of the Tang family, not an outsider. As for the company of the Tang family, you shouldn't underestimate his abilities. He has achieved a lot of things in his career. Now, he's willing to return to the company of the Tang family. I don't think it's a bad thing. Simply put, he's capable of leading the Tang Group to a higher level."

"Barry Tang, why do you think so highly of him? Do you want him to take Ace's place?"

"Ace's position isn't going to change. As for him..."

Waiting for what Barry Tang was going to say next, Joy Chi looked at him anxiously.

Barry Tang then said word by word in a firm tone, "He will take over my position."

Standing at the door, Wendy was shocked.

Did Ace have a brother?

She had stayed in the Tang family for so many years, but she never heard anything about this. Now, after hearing about it for the first time, she found it so hard to believe.

However, considering Joy Chi's response, Wendy realized that this "brother" was not Ace's biological brother, but his half-brother.

"What?" Joy Chi exclaimed in astonishment and couldn't believe her ears. Looking Barry Tang straight in the eye, she asked, "Have you lost your mind?"

Barry Tang simply snorted and completely ignored her question. Then, he walked towards the door and seemed to have seen something. "Wendy?"

When she saw Barry Tang in front of her, Wendy greeted him, "Uncle Barry."

In the entire Tang family, Barry was the only one who treated her nicely.

"How long have you been there? Why didn't you come in?" Barry Tang welcomed Wendy with a kind smile and seemed much more approachable compared to when he was arguing with Joy Chi.

When Joy saw Wendy, she sat on the sofa without saying a word. Needless to say, she didn't want to welcome Wendy to her home.

"I just got here," Wendy replied. When she glanced at Joy, she wasn't bothered by her attitude at all. In fact, she casually walked up to her and greeted her in a rather flat tone, "Aunt Joy."

Joy Chi sneered and just ignored Wendy.

Several years ago, when there were talks about the engagement, Joy Chi was completely against it. However, Barry Tang had already made up his mind. Because of the inheritance right of the Tang family, Joy Chi didn't want to have a fall out with him. That being said, it didn't mean that she would let Wendy become her daughter-in-law.

Barry Tang wore a deep frown. Afraid of embarrassment, he softly said to Wendy, "You're probably tired after the long ride, right? Why don't you go upstairs and have some rest? I'll ask Ace to come back later."

Ace must have known that Wendy was coming back, but he didn't show up. This must be his way of telling her that he was totally against this marriage.

But, that was exactly what Wendy wanted.

Truth be told, Wendy came back this time with the intention of calling off the engagement.

"Ace is busy. He won't be back anytime soon," Joy said coldly.

Barry Tang shot her an intense glare.

"Uncle Barry, if there isn't anything else, I'll go back to my room now and get some rest."

Wendy entered her own room. It was well-decorated, delicate, and beautiful, but she wasn't pleased with it at all.

After taking a shower, she felt much better.

Knock, knock, knock.

She heard three knocks on the door. Before she could even say anything, someone pushed the door open and came in.

Wendy was slightly surprised to see Joy there. She thought, Joy didn't even like to see her.

"Aunt Joy, what's up?" She asked Joy indifferently.

Joy gazed at her sharply and raised her hand, holding a bag. "I want you to send something for me."

Did she just ask her to deliver something for her?

Looking at the gift bag, Wendy's lips twitched before she asked, "Don't we have a driver at home? Why don't you ask him instead of asking me?"

The driver could do trivial tasks like these. Why did Joy come to her?

"Ace is waiting for it. Take it to him!" Instead of answering her question, Joy said harshly, "Wendy, don't forget that you are going to marry into the Tang family. Why can't you do something for me without any question? As your elder, I expect this much obedience from you."

"But when we were downstairs a while ago, you weren't even nice to me. You treated me bitterly and didn't want to see me here. You weren't as kind as an elder should be." Wendy pointed out with a feigned innocence.

"You..." Joy was about to snap but stopped herself and took a deep breath to calm down.

Wendy smiled complacently while smoothening her hair. Then she took the bag from Joy and asked, "What is the address?"

She also didn't want to argue with Joy anymore. Coincidentally, she too had something to talk to Ace.

Joy pursed her lips seeing Wendy agreed sooner than she'd expected to deliver the bag. With a single nod of endorsement, she told her the address, "The driver will take you to a specific hotel. You'll have to go to the room number 1202."

"Okay."

Wendy nodded understandingly then went downstairs with the bag. She wasn't least interested in what was in it.

The driver dropped her to the gate of the NC Hotel and from there she went in by herself.

Meanwhile, on the sixteenth floor of the hotel, Alex came and stood in front of the glass window that overlooked the busy street below. He spread his arms like an eagle and looked down at the busy street. Suddenly his eyes narrowed as he saw someone familiar among the crowd.

Jim was standing behind, reporting to him, "Mr. Alex, Ace is a typical playboy. He spends most of his time clubbing and having romantic affairs. He is quite ignorant and has no ability to compete with you. Right now, he is enjoying the same way in one of the suites downstairs."

"Seems like, we are going to meet again so soon. Interesting," said Alex suddenly, with a faint smile. His eyes were still on the woman who had just entered the hotel.

"What?" Jim was puzzled with Alex's response. He stepped forward and followed his gaze before asking, "Mr. Alex, are you really interested in her?"

Alex smirked. "Are you doubting me?"

Jim was flabbergasted. After a momentary pause he replied, "But she is going to be Ace's wife. Do you want us to keep an eye on her?"

"Jim, I think their marriage will not happen." Alex shifted his gaze on Jim for a quick second before he went towards the door. "Go downstairs and have a look. I don't want to upset her feelings."

Jim was shocked listening to Alex. Did he really fall in love with Wendy?

In the meantime, Wendy found her destination. Room number 1202.

But before she knocked on the door, she stopped abruptly.

There was no denial that the sounds that came out of the room were of a man and a woman making love to each other.

It was so obvious that they were having sex. Weren't they aware that they were too loud?

"Baby, how are you feeling?" A deep male voice asked. Wendy could tell it was Ace's voice, her future husband.

Apparently, he was enjoying too much.

She felt awkward to just stand there and listen to them. Although this was not her first time to hear such a sound, her face flustered out of embarrassment. But she felt more disgusted than embarrassed.

So, this was the reason why Joy asked her to send the gift bag to Ace personally.

Although it didn't matter to her, she felt disgusted.

After a few minutes, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. The sounds inside stopped soon. The sound of a woman panting came out followed by her sweet voice. "Ace, someone is knocking on the door."

"Leave it. Let's continue,"

he said huskily, but his voice held no emotion, not even lust.

A realization washed over her.

Maybe the reason why Ace asked her to come here tonight was to humiliate her on purpose. Wendy wanted to talk with him regarding the cancelation of their engagement, but now the time wasn't convenient. Wendy decided to talk to him some other day.

After deciding this she turned around and left hurriedly. She was so engaged in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the person coming from the opposite side and bumped into him directly at the corner of the corridor.

The person had a sturdy, masculine chest. The aura came from him was dangerously powerful. As she was losing her balance, he caught and steadied her. The familiar cologne hit her nostrils while she could feel the warmth radiating from him. It tingled her bare skin where his breath fell. It was a strange and new sensation to her.

She looked up after calming her nerves and found it was Alex. Wendy was surprised to see him there. "What are you doing?"

"Well, as long as I can recall, it was you who bumped into me." With an elegant smile and charming voice, Alex asked, "Are you throwing yourself at me?" It was just a simple bump, but his flirtatious words made it look intentional.

Wendy scowled. "Excuse me!" She stepped back.

Alex's eyes fell on the bag in Wendy's hand. "Are you here to give someone a gift?"

At the mention of the gift, Wendy's mind replayed the recent memories she just encountered a few minutes ago. Out of hatred towards Ace, she raised her hand and gave the gift to Alex. "No. I've brought it for you, as a thanks gift for the last time when you helped me."

He indeed had asked her to repay him. She felt relieved having to dispose of the gift that was meant for Ace.

Out of curiosity, Alex immediately opened the bag and took out the gift. He stared at the box in his hand flabbergasted then shifted his gaze on her. "You really want to give me such a gift?"

Wendy wasn't even looking at him. But when he asked that, she looked up and saw the box in his hand. Her eyes widened immediately and face took a shade of red.

It was a pack of­- condoms!

There was brief description written on the box that told users about the product. To prevent unwanted pregnancy, condoms were used by a man during sex.

As she wasn't interested to see what was inside the bag, she didn't have a peek at it. She only wanted to throw it at Ace. But she didn't expect that Joy would give her a pack of condoms and ask her to bring it to Ace.

By doing this, Joy openly made her realize that she didn't like Wendy as her daughter-in-law. She didn't even mind her son messing around with other women. Actually, she was even encouraging it.

Ace didn't like Wendy either. So, he deliberately embarrassed her when she came to the hotel.

Alex looked at Wendy with his dark but calm eyes. When he saw her frightened look, his eyes flashed a strange emotion.

"Sorry, it- it was a mistake!"

If she had known there were condoms in the bag earlier, she would have thrown it away.

"Now that you have given them to me as a gift, would you like to make use of them with me?"

Wendy flinched at his blunt offer. She looked at his attractive and intelligent eyes, which were exceptionally profound and dangerous at the same time.

Subconsciously, she took a step back, but Alex didn't let her off the hook. He slipped his hand behind her and pulled her into him. His manly cologne spread around her personal space. "Are you panicking? Do you want to escape me?"

"I..." Her long black hair fell down loosely, making her facial features even more alluring. Her black lustrous eyes and charming red lips were tempting him so much.

Without realizing, Wendy licked her bottom lip, and it made Alex go insane with lustful hunger.

The next moment, he lowered his head and pressed his lips on hers. He kissed her with so much passion.

Wendy's eyes widened in shock at his sudden action. She struggled to push him away.

"Let me go."

A moment later, she freed herself from his tight embrace and panted severely.

Looking at her flustered face, Alex couldn't help but squint at her skeptically. "You gave me these things. But now you asked me to let you go? What are you trying to do?"

"I-I... this wasn't for you." Wendy blurted out the truth.

In fact, Alex already knew that it couldn't be for him. But when she said it, he remembered that she was Ace's fiancee and Ace was staying in room 1202. This made him uncomfortable. He raised his head and asked coldly, "You can't wait to throw yourself at a man soon after giving him this gift. Can you?"
