Chapter 1633: The Fallen Heiress vs. The Rising Mistress (Part 58)

Gu Shengyin obediently finished eating her chicken wings.

Even though it was her first time at He Lou’s house, and the first time He Lou cooked for her.

Neither of them felt it was out of place at all.

They were simply like they had a natural understanding, as if they’d been getting along like this for years.

After dinner, He Lou washed fruit for Gu Shengyin and went to clean up in the kitchen.

Gu Shengyin glanced at the man who was diligently working, and quietly chuckled to herself.

"What are you laughing at?" The sofa beside her sank as He Lou sat down.

Gu Shengyin casually stabbed a piece of cantaloupe and placed it into his mouth: "I’m laughing because, the youngest General in the Republic, is washing his hands to make a meal for me. Even if I were to tell anyone about this, I doubt they’d believe it, don’t you think?"

Her statement was originally just teasing, but surprisingly, He Lou replied earnestly: "I suppose no one would believe it."

Gu Shengyin paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh.

He Lou indulgently watched the woman who was laughing with her belly.

She was very beautiful, bright and radiant, and this unrestrained laughter suited her perfectly.

Though he didn’t know why she was suddenly so happy, He Lou was still glad for her.

Gu Shengyin stopped laughing after a while.

She looked at He Lou.

He Lou turned his head to look at her too.

She softly said, "Thank you, He Lou."

He Lou’s gaze paused.

He asked her, "Thank me for what?"

Gu Shengyin shook her head and buried her head into He Lou’s embrace.

This embrace was warm, safe, and familiar.

She took a deep breath and suddenly said, "I can’t wait to become your bride."

He Lou’s eyes darkened.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked Gu Shengyin’s soft hair.

"Why did you suddenly say that?"

Gu Shengyin found his hand stroking her long hair very comforting.

She couldn’t help but snuggle in, and though she had slept for two hours in the afternoon, she felt sleepy again after dinner.

"No reason, just suddenly felt that I really like you!" Gu Shengyin said, smiling happily in his arms.

Then in the next moment, she sensed her body being turned over.

Her perspective shifted, and she felt weight on top of her.

Their position changed to Gu Shengyin half-lying on the sofa, with He Lou leaning over her.

"Has no one ever told you that saying such things to a man who likes you is dangerous?" He Lou asked, squinting at her.

Gu Shengyin didn’t feel scared at all.

She reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her.

With their noses almost touching, their breaths mingling: "Oh? Then tell me, what kind of danger?"

He Lou’s gaze grew even darker: "Like... loss of chastity."

"Pfft!" Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He Lou’s words were just too amusing.

He Lou looked at the woman beneath him, her eyes full of mirth, without a hint of worry.

"You’re really not worried at all?"

Gu Shengyin laughed and said: "I’m not worried because I know you wouldn’t do that."

That matter-of-fact tone made He Lou’s heart tremble.

He asked quietly, "Why are you so sure I wouldn’t? You should know that men’s self-control is never to be trusted."

Gu Shengyin looked at him: "But you’re different. He Lou, to me, you’re different from anyone else."
