Chapter 12: We Are a Legal Couple

Xiang Wanqiao came out of the shower and met Gu Jingzhan’s eyes.

Gu Jingzhan raised his black eyes slightly and swept his gaze from her body. Seeing her clothes, his protruding Adam’s apple couldn’t help but roll.

The woman was wearing a champagne-colored lace suspender nightgown. The hem of the skirt just covered her thighs, revealing two slender and white long legs. The silky fabric clung to her body, perfectly highlighting her curvy figure.

It was in full view.

The dark brown wavy long hair hung lazily behind her. The little face on both sides became red due to the influence of water vapor, and her beautiful eyes looked wet.

Gu Jingzhan’s heart was immediately disturbed by her. He squeezed the magazine in his hand tightly. The protruding blue veins on the back of his hand explained his inner forbearance and restraint.

The man lowered his eyes and silently retracted his gaze.

Seeing that Gu Jingzhan was unmoved, Xiang Wanqiao looked down at her clothes and couldn’t help but doubt herself.

Was it because she wasn’t dressed sexy enough, or because her figure wasn’t good enough?

Why didn’t he react at all? He didn’t even look at her for a second.

She felt frustrated and walked to the bed with an unhappy face, sitting down. After a moment of silence, she couldn’t help but look back at Gu Jingzhan.

After making sure that he wasn’t looking at her, Xiang Wanqiao became even more depressed.

She lifted the quilt and lay down, deliberately turning her back to Gu Jingzhan and leaning against the outside.

The bedroom suddenly fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

One second, two seconds…

I’m sleepy and want to go to bed, Xiang Wanqiao said angrily.

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhan put down the magazine in his hand and lay down on the sofa.

He replied in a light voice, Turn off the lights.

Xiang Wanqiao didn’t hear the man’s footsteps coming over. Feeling confused, she turned her head and looked behind her, and found that he was lying on the sofa, as if he was about to fall asleep.

She sat up from the bed and asked, Why are you sleeping on the sofa?

Gu Jingzhan closed his eyes and asked her in return, If I don’t sleep on the sofa, where should I sleep?

Sleep on the bed!

Hearing Xiang Wanqiao’s words, Gu Jingzhan suddenly opened his eyes and then mechanically turned his head to look at her.

What did you say?

I said, you sleep with me on the bed.

Xiang Wanqiao looked at him very seriously and repeated what she had just said to him.

Gu Jingzhan’s eyes moved slightly, and his cold voice was slightly hoarse: Do you know what you are saying?

We are a legal couple; what’s wrong with sleeping together?

Gu Jingzhan was speechless.

Xiang Wanqiao lifted the corner of the quilt on the other side, patted the empty space, and invited, Come on!

Gu Jingzhan remained unmoved.

Seeing that he was hesitant to move, Xiang Wanqiao said, Either you sleep with me on the bed, or I will go down and sleep on the sofa with you.

Silence for a moment.

Gu Jingzhan lifted the blanket on his body, got up from the sofa, and went to the bed.

Xiang Wanqiao saw him walking toward her, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.

As soon as Gu Jingzhan lay down, Xiang Wanqiao pulled away his right hand, snuggled into his arms, and rubbed against his body.

Gu Jingzhan’s body was obviously stiff, and his hands seemed a little at a loss.

You…

I want you to hold me while I sleep.

Gu Jingzhan closed his eyes, trying to calm his disordered mind.

He spoke in a hoarse voice with helplessness, Xiang Wanqiao, I am a normal man.

So? Xiang Wanqiao looked up at him.

The man’s Adam’s apple rolled, I can’t help it.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled and leaned forward to kiss his lips, saying in a teasing tone, If you can’t help it, then don’t bear it.

Gu Jingzhan’s black eyes suddenly lit up, gradually burning with desire, and then he turned over and pressed her under him, sealing her lips with his.

He sucked her soft lips, then pried open her lips and teeth, letting his slightly hot tongue flow into her mouth, wantonly grabbing the wonderful taste that belonged to her.

Xiang Wanqiao slowly closed her eyes, and her soft, boneless hands wrapped around his neck, responding to his kiss with the same passion.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jingzhan suddenly stopped.

Xiang Wanqiao’s misty eyes were a little confused, and she asked, What’s wrong?

It’s getting late, go to bed.

???

Before she could react, Gu Jingzhan had already left her and got up from the bed.

Xiang Wanqiao knew what he was going to do, so she grabbed his hand and asked him aggrievedly, Would you rather take a cold shower than have me?

Gu Jingzhan tried his best to stay calm and explained, I’m afraid you will regret it.

I don’t regret it!

Xiang Wanqiao moved behind him, put her arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly from behind.

Gu Jingzhan, it’s you; I don’t regret it.

Gu Jingzhan took a deep breath and tried to pry her hands apart. Qiaoqiao…

Xiang Wanqiao tightened her arms, I want to be a real couple with you.

After a while, Gu Jingzhan pulled away her hands around his waist, turned around to look at her, and raised his hand to hold the broken hair by her ears.

At least not tonight.

Why?

Gu Jingzhan leaned over and whispered in her ear, There are no condoms here; we will continue when we return to Guiyuan tomorrow night.

Xiang Wanqiao’s ears instantly turned red, and her heart couldn’t help but race.

Gu Jingzhan saw her shy look, and the corners of his lips curved, teasingly saying, Weren’t you very brave just now? Why are you blushing now?

I… Xiang Wanqiao lowered her head to avoid his gaze. I’m sleepy and want to sleep.

Just as she was about to slip away, Gu Jingzhan tightened his arms around her slender waist, imprisoning her in his embrace, and then lowered his head to leave a small kiss mark on her clavicle.

Since you have provoked me, don’t think about escaping from me again.

Xiang Wanqiao replied firmly, Never in this life.

Gu Jingzhan stared at her intently, his deep eyes filled with emotion, looking darker than the night outside the window.

Late at night.

All the lights in the bedroom were turned off, and the bright moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains.

Calm and rippling.

Gu Jingzhan slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Xiang Wanqiao, who was sleeping in his arms, with surging love and endless tenderness flowing in his gaze.

His long, bony fingers gently stroked the woman’s cheek, and his movements were very careful, for fear of waking her up.

He had been looking forward to this moment for many, many years.

Gu Jingzhan didn’t know why Xiang Wanqiao suddenly changed her attitude towards him, nor did he know what the purpose of doing so was.

But he didn’t want to delve into those questions. Even if he couldn’t fully understand, he would try to make himself accept it.

As long as she could look at him straight in the eye, as long as she could continue to stay by his side, as long as she no longer resisted him, as long as there was a small corner in her heart to accommodate him…

The woman’s soft hair brushed past his fingertips, stirring his heartstrings.

Gu Jingzhan looked at her steadily for a long time, and finally lowered his head to place a tender and affectionate kiss on her forehead.

Qiaoqiao, is all this really just a dream I had?

If so, I hope I can sleep forever and never wake up.

In this way, you will always love me.
