Dumped After Engagement, She Marries the Capital’s Prince Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Too Unrestrained!

She stretched her stiff neck, her eyes wide with surprise, “It’s so late?”

It felt like they hadn’t been playing for long, but it had already been over four hours.

Gu Zhiyan turned off the equipment he used for the live stream. Hearing her words, his lips curled up slightly, “Are you still nervous?”

Jian Yao bit her lip, “Not nervous.”

In fact, she was a little bit unsatisfied.

She kind of understood why so many people liked to play games.

Actually, it wasn’t the game that mattered, but the people you played with.

Playing games with different people was a completely different experience.

Gu Zhiyan stretched his wrists and stood up, turning sideways to look at her casually, his whole body radiating a joyful aura.

“My pleasure

Soft light poured down from above, the so-called “death top light” fell on him, but it only made his brows and eyes deeper, his nose bridge higher, and his features incredibly handsome.

Jian Yao raised her head slightly, her gaze falling on his Adam’s apple and chin, and the wound on his lips that she had bumped into.

After a few days, the wound had scabbed over, and if you didn’t look closely, it looked like a dark beauty mark on his lips, inexplicably adding a touch of temptation.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Jian Yao couldn’t help but recall what Xu Si had said at the hotpot restaurant.

“Are you guys going to live separately after marriage?”

She and Gu Zhiyan hadn’t discussed where they would live after marriage at all.

Maybe tonight was a good opportunity?

Newlyweds, alone at night, was a perfect combination of time, place, and people.

Jian Yao swore that she wasn’t coveting Gu Zhiyan’s good looks, but several times she opened her mouth, the words “Where will I live?” were swallowed back down.

Too wild!

Too unrestrained!

Saying that would make her sound like a lustful pervert.

Jian Yao cleared her throat with a light cough, tentatively asking, “Should I go back now?”

Hearing her words, Gu Zhiyan seemed to have just noticed the time, and he looked at the punk-style mechanical clock in the room in a seemingly casual way, his low, magnetic voice tinged with a hint of surprise.

“It’s so late already?”

He pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to suggest, “It’s so late, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, why don’t you… stay here for the night?”

“I have many rooms here, and there are spare clothes and disposable toiletries at home, it won’t be inconvenient for you.”

Jian Yao’s heart was like a rabbit in a cage, but her face was calm as water. She looked up at Gu Zhiyan, “Okay.”

Jian Yao’s generous attitude actually made Gu Zhiyan, who thought she would refuse, raise his eyebrows.

“You trust me so much?”

Jian Yao blinked, nodding frankly under Gu Zhiyan’s gaze, “We’ve already gotten our marriage certificate, and now we’re thinking about being wary of you, isn’t that a bit strange?”

She felt that compared to her, Gu Zhiyan was the one who needed to be worried about.

He liked men, but she was a real straight woman!

Gu Zhiyan seemed to be amused by her words, a chuckle escaping his throat, “I was too narrow-minded.”

Leaving the gaming room, as they passed the flower corridor, Gu Zhiyan adjusted his sleeves, looking down at the two elongated shadows on the ground, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat a late-night snack?”

Jian Yao wasn’t actually hungry, but Gu Zhiyan’s reminder made her crave something… However…

She looked at the tall and broad back of the man in front of her, feeling a bit curious, “Do you usually eat late-night snacks?”

Gu Zhiyan paused, turning his head to look at her, “Why do you ask?”

Jian Yao bit her lip, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, “I just feel like, you, a domineering… a CEO like you, are usually more disciplined.”

During her adolescence, she had read many stories, but she had never seen any domineering CEOs eating late-night snacks.

Someone like Gu Zhiyan… should be someone who doesn’t eat earthly food, doesn’t indulge in the pleasures of the palate, and only eats to maintain basic life functions.

Gu Zhiyan looked at her steadily for two seconds, feeling a bit speechless and a bit amused.

He turned and walked towards the main courtyard, his clear and melodious voice carried by the night wind into Jian Yao’s ears, “Read less nonsense in the future.”

She had retracted her “domineering” word quickly, but his hearing was naturally good, and he heard it clearly.

Combining the context, he could easily deduce her thoughts.

Jian Yao’s face flushed red, and she quickly caught up with Gu Zhiyan’s pace, “Then I want to eat…”

Half an hour later, in the dining room.

Jian Yao pressed the golden-brown fried egg into the snail noodle soup, letting it soak up the red oil and broth.

She tried to resist the urge to take a bite, raising her eyes to look at Gu Zhiyan across from her, her expression filled with anticipation and strong recommendation, “You really don’t want to try it? It’s really delicious!”

Gu Zhiyan, wearing gloves, lowered his head and peeled the crayfish seriously, “I don’t eat it.”

Jian Yao sighed in her mouth, “That’s too bad!”

The next second, she took a bite.

The fried egg was runny, and with one bite, it was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had the spicy and savory flavor of the snail noodles, it was absolutely delicious!

Jian Yao sighed contentedly, “A taste of heaven!”

Gu Zhiyan’s slender fingers skillfully peeled open the shrimp tail, taking out the complete shrimp meat and placing it in the white porcelain plate, “So easy to please?”

One bowl of snail noodles and one plate of crayfish were enough to satisfy her.

Jian Yao chewed on the noodles, “This is called, ‘the people need food to survive.'”

“When I was in the orphanage, I hardly had any pocket money. I envied other kids who bought snacks after school, so I would finish my homework as fast as I could after school and find time to pick up bottles and cardboard to sell.”

Recalling her childhood, Jian Yao’s eating speed slowed down.

“Back then, I thought, when I have money, I’ll buy double portions of everything I like to eat, one to eat and one to look at, to make up for all the things I couldn’t afford to eat before.”

Jian Yao laughed at her own naive thoughts, “Later, when I returned to the Jian family, I really had money, but I found that idea to be a waste.”

She had been taught from a young age that every grain of rice was hard-earned, and even with money, she couldn’t bear to waste food.

That was an instinct ingrained in her bones.

Therefore, when she first returned to the Jian family, she was ridiculed as a “country bumpkin” for good reason.

Gu Zhiyan had stopped peeling the shrimp at some point and looked up, “Then if you have anything you want to eat in the future, you can tell me, I’ll buy it for you.”

Jian Yao paused with her chopsticks, a smile spreading across her face, “Okay, I won’t be polite with you then.”

She stirred the noodles in her bowl uncomfortably, “Of course, if you’re feeling sorry for me, it’s actually unnecessary.”

“The orphanage director is a very good person. My childhood, although I didn’t have much pocket money, was very happy.”

Gu Zhiyan pushed the peeled shrimp towards her, “I’m not feeling sorry for you.”

He gazed at the girl’s fair face, explaining seriously, “I just think you’re a very, very good person.”
