Chapter 5: Can I Sleep with You Tonight?

Ruan Yu’s pace was too fast, and she didn’t pay attention to her feet. She missed a step on the stairs and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

Fortunately, it was the last two steps from the ground, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. She would either die or lose half her life.

Gu Yanzhi heard the sound, put down the magazine in his hand, his cold face was filled with urgency. He strode over and squatted in front of her.

“Why are you running so fast? Did you hit anything?” His brows furrowed, with a hint of anger, his tone was also colder, but his eyes were full of worry, “Why aren’t you wearing shoes again?”

“Gu Yanzhi, I’m scared…” Ruan Yu’s voice was choked with sobs, her eyes were filled with tears, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

Seeing her furrowed brows, Gu Yanzhi swallowed the words of reproach. As long as Ruan Yu frowned slightly, his heart would soften.

He sighed softly, he was really being controlled by this little girl. He stretched out his long arm and picked up the little girl on the ground, “What are you afraid of?”

Ruan Yu reached out and hooked his neck, burying her face in his chest, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed in me, I’m afraid you’ll leave me, I’m afraid I’ll never see you again.”

Gu Yanzhi put Ruan Yu on the sofa, his movements were gentle, his eyes were firm and serious as he looked at her, “How could I leave you? Stop thinking nonsense, did you hit anything?”

His voice was low and magnetic, his brows were full of tenderness.

Ruan Yu shook her head, burrowed into his arms, the scent of mint unique to him filled her nostrils, and she calmed down.

Fortunately, he was still here.

She hadn’t lost him.

Gu Yanzhi thought her worry was caused by Tang Ma’s words, which stimulated her to think nonsense, “Don’t take Tang Ma’s words to heart today.”

“I won’t.” Ruan Yu didn’t take Tang Ma’s words to heart, because Tang Ma was right. She had been like that before, but she wouldn’t be like that anymore. She wouldn’t let this happen again, and she wouldn’t do anything to make Gu Yanzhi sad anymore.

After dinner, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.

On the sofa, Ruan Yu leaned against Gu Yanzhi’s shoulder, an animated cartoon was playing on the TV. She suddenly said, “Brother Yanzhi, come back to live here, I’m scared to be alone in the villa.”

She hugged Gu Yanzhi’s arm and acted cute, pouting with a face full of grievance. She had to get him to move back tonight, it would be easier for her to do things if they were together all the time.

Besides, Gu’s house was his home, it was just that she had occupied it for a long time.

She actually took the initiative to bring this up. Faced with Ruan Yu’s coquettishness, Gu Yanzhi’s heart softened instantly, and he couldn’t refuse any of her requests, “Okay.”

Seeing Gu Yanzhi agree, Ruan Yu was overjoyed. She knew that except for the matter of leaving him, no matter how unreasonable she was, he wouldn’t refuse her.

Gu Yanzhi’s phone message notification sounded. He glanced at the message, his long, slender fingers extinguished the phone screen, and he reached out to caress Ruan Yu’s smooth hair lovingly, “Ayu, I’ll go to the study to deal with some work matters.”

Ruan Yu nodded obediently. After Gu Yanzhi left, she put away the smile on her face and prepared to start her plan.

She picked up the TV remote control, turned off the TV, turned around and went upstairs to her room.

She opened the closet and searched for a long time. In the corner of the closet, she found a nightgown that she was satisfied with.

She held the burgundy spaghetti strap nightgown against her body, curling her lips. If things went well tonight, she would be able to trick Gu Yanzhi into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate tomorrow.

Thinking about it, she was twenty-three this year, she was getting old. Gu Yanzhi was also twenty-nine years old, almost thirty. It was time for the Gu residence to have a mistress.

And that mistress had to be her.

She turned around and went into the bathroom. After nearly twenty minutes, Ruan Yu came out of the bathroom wearing a burgundy spaghetti strap nightgown.

The nightgown perfectly outlined her beautiful figure. The burgundy color made her skin look even whiter. Her long, smooth hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing a delicate collarbone. The thin straps of the nightgown hung loosely on her shoulders.

She smiled confidently at the dressing table mirror.

Eleven o’clock at night.

On the big bed in Gu Yanzhi’s bedroom, there was a small figure dozing off, murmuring, “Gu Yanzhi, if you don’t come, I’m going to fall asleep.”

She hadn’t noticed before, but he was actually so busy. It was already eleven o’clock and he was still working in the study.

She would have to urge him to go to bed earlier in the future. He didn’t take care of his health at all.

Twelve o’clock at night.

Ruan Yu heard the familiar footsteps outside the door. She quickly covered herself with the blanket, a small figure. If you didn’t look closely, it was hard to tell that there was someone hiding under the blanket.

Gu Yanzhi opened the door to the room, his face was tired. He went straight to the closet, took out his nightgown, turned around and went into the bathroom.

The person under the blanket heard the bathroom door close and poked out a small head. Her clear eyes looked at the closed bathroom door.

Twenty minutes later.

Gu Yanzhi came out of the bathroom, turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the warm light from the bedside lamp.

Ruan Yu listened to his footsteps getting closer and closer, the corners of her lips curled up. Tonight, she had to make Gu Yanzhi her man.

Gu Yanzhi tiredly threw off the covers and lay down. He reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

In the darkness, a small figure slowly approached him. Gu Yanzhi sensed the movement beside him, he was startled and quickly sat up, turning on the warm light by the bed. In the dim light, his gaze fell on the bulging blanket beside him. He asked in a stern voice, “Who’s there?”

Seeing that the person in the blanket didn’t move or respond to him, his voice was filled with anger, “Come out.”

She was discovered. Ruan Yu pouted, poked out a small head, her hands tightly clutching the blanket that covered her neck, her long eyelashes fluttering, “Brother Yanzhi, it’s me.”

Gu Yanzhi was shocked, “You’re…”

Seeing that it was the little girl, his angry face softened. He looked at Ruan Yu, who was hiding in his blanket, in puzzlement.

Ruan Yu threw off the covers, one hand propping her head, the other hand resting on her slender waist, her posture was alluring, her eyes were seductive, “Brother Yanzhi, do I look good?”

She winked at him, waiting for Gu Yanzhi’s answer.

Gu Yanzhi’s gaze fell on her. Her legs were long and white, the burgundy spaghetti strap nightgown outlined her beautiful figure. Her smooth hair cascaded over her shoulders, falling on her delicate collarbone.

“You look good.” His Adam’s apple bobbed, a strange look flashed in his deep, cold eyes, fleeting.

Although it was fleeting, Ruan Yu caught it. Since he was moved, she would add fuel to the fire. She didn’t believe that this man could resist her temptation.

She sat up in bed, her soft, boneless little hand circled Gu Yanzhi’s waist, “Gu Yanzhi, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Gu Yanzhi’s body stiffened. He still wasn’t used to her sudden intimacy and flirtatiousness.
