"Anyway, Iām really broke, just open and check it yourself, Iām not afraid."
Seeing the seriousness in her words, he believed her directly: "Thatās more like it."
Otherwise, she wouldnāt be so sure about it.
Gu Liancheng pulled Qianxun into his embrace, about to give her a good kiss to resolve the longing of over a month, but she stopped him.
"Whatās wrong? Youāre back and still not allowing a kiss? I held back for so long at the dinner table, donāt you feel pity?"
The first moment he saw her, he wanted to pull her in for a kiss but gave up due to the many people around.
Did you know how torturous it was for him listening to every trivial matter at that dinner table?
Now that thereās no one around, he certainly wouldnāt miss this chance, but unexpectedly...
"No, itās not that..." Qianxun shook her head and pointed ahead of them.
Gu Liancheng then noticed a passerby standing in front of the car curiously watching them, seemingly eager to see how far they would go.
An annoyed Gu Liancheng honked the horn several times to scare them away.
Havenāt you seen people kissing before?
The person fled resentfully.
His disturbance suddenly killed the mood for kissing, leaving Gu Liancheng somewhat annoyed, muttering to himself, "I really shouldāve gotten out and beaten him up severely!"
"Alright!" said Qianxun, smiling helplessly to soothe him, "Isnāt there plenty of time tonight? So, how about it, Fourth Master?"
Qianxunās fingers mischievously traced across his chest.
"Tonight?"
Hmm...
The long night will surely be beautiful.
Thinking this, he smiled, his previous frustration disappearing as if nothing had happened.
"Letās do it." His smile beaming.
Of course, they had to meet!
How long has it been since the last time? It had been so long that he didnāt even remember.
He later realized that Qianxun had been refusing him at first because she was pregnant.
"Thereās still half an hour before the event starts, why donāt you take a nap first? Iāll wake you when itās time."
"Arenāt you busy?"
"Not busy," he said with a smile, gently shaking his head, "You donāt know how madly I missed you when you were away. If I didnāt immerse these intense feelings of longing into work, how could I have survived till I saw you again? Working so hard was just so I could spend the next few days with you properly."
Qianxun chuckled lightly, "Sounds really sweet."
"Go to sleep."
"Okay."
She had lied about not being tired just now; since she could rest, she reassuredly closed her eyes and rested her head on his lap.
Within just two minutes, when Gu Liancheng called her again, she had already fallen deep asleep.
Still lying about not being tired, huh?
His eyes showed extra tenderness.
Watching her sleep peacefully, how could he bear to wake her up after half an hour?
...
In front of Taihe Building.
Dressed discreetly, Xiao Man couldnāt be recognized after putting on her glasses.
A black bullet-proof Buick stopped in front of her, taking her by surprise.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a pair of eyes she was fond of and familiar with.
The person who came down from the driverās seat respectfully opened the car door for her, "Miss Xiao, please."
Xiao Man smiled in greeting, straightened her skirt, and sat down inside.
Suddenly, the driver saw the reflection in the mirror. Bowing even more respectfully, he said to Li Sinian, "Mr. Li, Iāll go handle some trifles first."
