《Forbidden.Desire》2《Living by Desire》
Chapter 31: Between Illusion and Reality
1、【Loneliness After the Curtain Call】
「Cut! I declare — 《Living by Desire》 has officially wrapped!」
Following the director’s hoarse shout, the entire set fell into three seconds of deathly silence, then erupted in thunderous cheers. Staff members hugged frantically, threw flowers, and some even cried in the corners. This century-spanning epic had been too grueling, too tormenting, and too heartbreaking to film.
Sitting in the sunflower garden, 太陽 watched 陸淵 laughing and high-fiving his assistant, and 沈宴之 busy removing his heavy tycoon official robe. A strong sense of illusion and reality made her unsteady on her feet.
Over the past six months, she had truly lived as the "living by desire" demoness. Her entanglement with 秦徹 had also fluctuated like the script.
「太陽, there’s a wrap party tomorrow night. Make sure to dress up!」 The director came over and gave her a big hug.
太陽 smiled politely and nodded, though her heart felt empty.
She instinctively glanced at her phone. As the lead investor, she had expected 秦徹 to attend in person to celebrate, but the screen only showed a cold line of text:
「You’ve worked hard. See you tomorrow night. —秦徹」
She gave a self-mocking smile and turned toward the makeup room. So, she was the only one waiting.
2、【Unexpected Late-Night Supply】
That night at midnight, 太陽 removed all her makeup, washed away her exhaustion, changed into a silk robe, and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine. Outside was the bustling cityscape, no longer the oppressive Shen residence backyard.
「Ding dong—」
The doorbell rang with a forceful, familiar rhythm. 太陽’s heartbeat skipped. She walked over and opened the door to see 秦徹 in a dark gray suit, tie slightly loosened, standing outside bathed in moonlight and coldness.
「Didn’t you say…… see you tomorrow night?」 太陽 raised an eyebrow, reverting to her usual queen-like cold elegance.
秦徹 said nothing, stepped straight inside, slammed the door shut with his backhand, and pulled her tightly into his arms with one long arm. His deep voice vibrated by her ear: 「Couldn’t wait till tomorrow. The moment I saw the wrap news, I couldn’t sit still.」
He kissed her hard and urgently, as if trying to close the distance that filming had created over the past six months. From the entrance to the hallway, he frantically devoured her lips while roughly tearing off his suit jacket.
太陽 tilted her head back, clutching his expensive shirt tightly with both hands, her legs rubbing restlessly. 秦徹’s clothes fell to the floor as they tangled all the way to the bedroom bed.
This wasn’t acting. This was the real 秦徹, carrying his domineering, arrogant, addictive essence.
The moment he pushed her onto the bed, the soft touch and his scorching body created an intense enveloping sensation. 秦徹 revealed his firm, toned chest. With one hand he unbuckled his belt, his eyes deep as the sea. 「During this time, you suffered quite a bit in the drama, right? Tonight, I’ll make it up to you.」
太陽 looked at the man so close. All her pent-up feelings exploded. She didn’t even wait for 秦徹’s next move before propping herself up, her soft hand gripping the hard length already straining against his underwear. Ignoring her usual pride, she lowered her head and took him in, hungrily enveloping the burning shaft with her warm mouth.
