Chapter 175: Chapter 156: What I Have in Mind Is Not Just...
Fenglin Villa
Actually, when Gu Yanjing carried Qiao Yuxian upstairs, he brought her to her room’s doorway.
But at the last moment, he changed his mind and went back to his own room.
Lin Huai Shu happened to see this.
After entering the bedroom and closing the door, he gently placed Qiao Yuxian on the bed.
He didn’t let her lie down immediately, instead supporting her neck with one arm, while his other hand unzipped her jacket.
After removing her jacket, he let her lie down.
Then he took off her shoes.
He was hesitating whether to remove her jeans, which didn’t seem very comfortable, when his fingers were suddenly caught.
Gu Yanjing looked at her face.
He found the little girl was smiling. A few seconds later, she first opened one eye to look at him, and then the other.
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian tugged on his hand.
Gu Yanjing sat by the bed and touched her face, "When did you wake up?"
"Didn’t Mr. Gu notice?"
Mr. Gu didn’t speak.
Qiao Yuxian said with a smile, "Oh—I understand now. Mr. Gu carried me back to the room and got nervous, that’s why he didn’t notice."
Gu Yanjing’s gaze turned slightly fierce.
Qiao Yuxian propped herself up, supporting her face with her hand, and looked at him. Her pretty fox eyes slightly raised, she drawled, "Mr. Gu, what did you plan to do by carrying me back to the room?"
Gu Yanjing continued to look at her.
Qiao Yuxian’s index finger softly traced a circle on the back of his hand, "Trying to sleep holding me?"
After she finished speaking, two seconds later, Gu Yanjing suddenly leaned in, with his hands on either side of her.
The sudden closeness brought over his overwhelming presence.
Qiao Yuxian’s arm didn’t hold up; her hand slipped and she lay down on the bed.
Just as arrogant as she was moments ago, now she was equally meek.
Watching the desire in Gu Yanjing’s eyes, she nervously swallowed her saliva, "No, I mean, that..."
Her words were interrupted by Gu Yanjing.
He looked at her, his gaze deepening continuously, a certain suppressed desire within him suddenly exploded, seemingly uncontrollable. His cold voice grew a few notches richer.
"Qiao Yuxian, what I had in mind was not just sleeping while holding you."
It was like a thunderous bell ringing next to her ear.
Her ears buzzed, pupils trembled, but she was frozen in place.
Shocked and frightened.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Yanjing placed his hand beside her face, his thumb gently stroking her cheek.
After a while, he leaned in closer to her.
Qiao Yuxian stiffened completely, her head stopped turning, yet she very well knew what he intended to do.
Her hands slowly clenched the sheets, her heart racing faster and faster with his proximity.
Gu Yanjing hovered over her for a moment, giving her a chance to refuse.
But their eyes met, and Qiao Yuxian averted her gaze.
Her long eyelashes hung down, helplessly trembling.
Seeing she didn’t flee, Gu Yanjing’s breath became disordered instantly.
He leaned closer, lightly kissed her eyelids, and then moved downward, almost touching her lips when Qiao Yuxian suddenly raised her eyes and pressed her hand onto his shoulder.
Gu Yanjing looked into her eyes.
Qiao Yuxian pushed him away and sat up.
Pouting her lips for a few seconds, she got off the bed and ran outside.
Gu Yanjing watched her leave barefoot. He hurried to catch up, pulling her arm, and took off his slippers to give to her.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, seeing him lower his gaze, watching her put on the shoes.
Supporting herself with his arm, she said, "Ask Aunt Mei to bring me a sanitary napkin to the restroom. We can continue after I come out."
Gu Yanjing: "......"
Qiao Yuxian put on the shoes and dashed into the restroom.
Gu Yanjing watched her flurry, calculating the time, her cycle was two days early.
Gu Yanjing pinched his brow and sighed lightly.
He went out to call Aunt Mei, then headed to the kitchen.
Lin Huai Shu was petting a cat in the living room, seeing him going into the kitchen, thinking he saw a ghost so late at night.
He quickly hugged Dou Jin and followed him to the kitchen.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Yanjing glanced at him, "It’s shedding hair, don’t bring it into the kitchen."
Lin Huai Shu stood further back, stroking Dou Jin’s head, "Mr. Gu, why do I sense a feeling of unmet desire?"
Gu Yanjing boiled water, took out brown sugar, searched for ginger, then called toward outside, "Shang Chen, go dig a hole in the backyard and bury him."
"Yes!" Shang Chen’s voice had a hint of excitement.
"Hey! Gu Yanjing!" Lin Huai Shu shouted, "Shang Chen!"
Shang Chen had already headed toward the yard.
Lin Huai Shu looked at his back, then turned to Gu Yanjing, "Damn! Shang Chen is foolish enough to actually do it!"
"I’m serious too." Gu Yanjing said calmly.
Lin Huai Shu pointed at him, finally said, "Fine. Gu Yanjing. No regard for friendship, huh. Who was it that year! When you skipped class and got beaten by the old man, stood by your side and took a ruler hit for you. And who was it! When you skipped class again, helping you escape while the old man brought people to surround, without revealing your whereabouts. And who was it! When..."
"You’re just stupid." Gu Yanjing replied, "Why didn’t Zheng Ran ever get into trouble."
"Grinding one’s ax after coming to the river, isn’t it?"
"The first time skipping class, I was helping you fight." Gu Yanjing cut ginger slices with precision, "The second time, I was clearly in the principal’s office talking about direct admission, yet you turned it into me skipping class."
Lin Huai Shu: "......Ancient, trivial matters, why bring them up?"
Gu Yanjing coldly retorted, "You brought them up."
Lin Huai Shu was left speechless, paused for two seconds, then muttered, "I’m going to sleep. This is boring."
Gu Yanjing ignored him.
When he left, he called Meng Yan to bring back Shang Chen who was digging a hole.
The brown sugar ginger water was ready.
Gu Yanjing took it upstairs. Just then he met Aunt Mei coming out of his room with a trash bag from the restroom.
He glanced once, before he could speak, Aunt Mei said first, "Madam went back to the room to change clothes."
Gu Yanjing acknowledged with a sound, and went to her room.
He knocked on the door from outside, waited for a moment, then pushed the door open to find Qiao Yuxian clutching her belly and squatting at the restroom entrance.
A small entity, like a little creature waiting for someone.
Gu Yanjing placed the ginger sugar water on the cabinet at the doorway, lifted her up, and walked to the bedroom.
In just a short time, Qiao Yuxian’s face turned pale.
Placed on the bed, Qiao Yuxian curled up on the bed clutching her belly, holding Gu Yanjing’s sleeve saying, "Gu Yanjing, it hurts so much. I just went to the restroom, and suddenly it hurts so much."
Gu Yanjing touched her forehead, not feverish but very cool.
He took out his phone to message the doctor who had visited the Qiao Family for Qiao Lech last time, telling him to come quickly.
The reply from the other side was quick, always on standby.
"Why does it hurt again, it never hurt before." Qiao Yuxian’s voice sounded pitiful, "It hurts so much."
Gu Yanjing stroked her head, then took the ginger sugar water, helping her sit up and lean on him to drink.
Qiao Yuxian took small sips while mumbling.
"Why is the ginger taste so strong." After saying so, drank two sips.
"It hurts so much." Again drank two sips.
"Can we add more brown sugar next time." Finished saying then drank two more sips.
"Okay." Gu Yanjing’s hand was on her lower abdomen, gently massaging it.
Qiao Yuxian curled up in his arms, her voice soft, pitiable, "Was it because I got too worked up just now, causing my period to come early, that’s why it hurts so much."
Gu Yanjing: "......"
Qiao Yuxian continued, "Gu Yanjing, I’m feeling a bit agitated."
"You can vent if you want." Gu Yanjing touched her face.
"Will you hit me?" Qiao Yuxian sipping slowly.
"Am I daring enough?" Gu Yanjing asked back.
Qiao Yuxian chuckled, then shoved the cup into his hand, collapsed onto the bed, holding her belly, "Ouch, can’t laugh. Laughing makes it hurt more."
