Chapter 68 - 64: Sleeping Together

Lin Entertainment Celebration Venue. Jiang Shouzhuo stood by his friend, watching as Qiao Yuxian was led away by a man holding her hand. Today, he was unusually dressed in a suit, looking quite proper. "Who is that man? Do you know him?" Jiang Shouzhuo shook the glass in his hand, asking the person next to him. He only saw the back of the man holding Qiao Yuxian’s hand, saw him take Qiao Yuxian away, but didn’t see his face or where he left. The person beside him also looked over, only seeing a back view: "Don’t know. But he looks quite distinguished, definitely not simple." "Who’s simple here anyway?" Jiang Shouzhuo let out a snort of a laugh. "What’s up?" The person next to him noticed his mocking expression and said, "Bro, you better not cause trouble. You snuck out from home today. If you cause more trouble, your dad won’t just keep you at home, he might really hit you." Jiang Shouzhuo laughed lightly again: "I’m the only heir in the Jiang Family, he’s just saying it, as if he would really hit me." The person next to him chuckled as well. "Quite a few people came today, let’s take two beauties to No. 9 Club later." Jiang Shouzhuo looked towards the person next to him. The person next to him smiled and clinked glasses with him. ... Gu Yanjing took Qiao Yuxian away, she was well-behaved and quiet all the way. With her legs together, sitting beside Gu Yanjing, wearing his coat, she didn’t speak a word the whole way. She completely forgot that she came out to find her marriage certificate. They remained silent all the way to Fenglin Villa. Upon reaching Fenglin Villa, Qiao Yuxian refused to get out of the car. Gu Yanjing opened the car door and waited for her outside for a while. Seeing her not moving, he carried her horizontally into Fenglin Villa. Qiao Yuxian did not make a fuss, she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning on his shoulder, allowing him to carry her. Gu Yanjing noticed her leaning against him, eyes downcast, eyelashes fluttering like a well-behaved little fox. He couldn’t help but slow his pace. The time it took to return to her room was half as slow as usual. Upon reaching her room, he placed her on the bed. Qiao Yuxian rolled over on the bed, wrapping herself in the quilt. Then she stared at Gu Yanjing with her eyes wide open. A pair of beautiful fox-like eyes, their depths slightly marked, very captivating. Along with her slightly drunken state, she resembled a little drunken fox spirit. Gu Yanjing looked at her, for a moment, then leaned closer to her. Qiao Yuxian still stared blankly at him, after a few seconds, she pulled up the quilt to cover her face, leaving only her eyes visible, watching him. Gu Yanjing’s eyes showed a hint of a smile, he patted her head and said, "Sleep." Qiao Yuxian blinked, as if not understanding what he said, and kept looking at him. Gu Yanjing watched her for a few more seconds, then gently covered her eyes with his hand. He felt her eyelashes sweep across his palm, his heart contracting a bit faster. After a while, he removed his hand, seeing her eyes closed and not moving. He stood by the bed for a while longer, then gently removed her high heels and left the room. After leaving, he went to find Aunt Mei, asking her to help Qiao Yuxian change clothes and wash her face. But he never expected that after Aunt Mei went in, Qiao Yuxian suddenly became spirited. He knew Qiao Yuxian hadn’t slept, just lying there with her eyes closed. But it seemed she wouldn’t make a fuss. Yet things didn’t go as he thought. When Aunt Mei was helping Qiao Yuxian change, Qiao Yuxian was very cooperative, thinking only about sleeping soon. However, as Aunt Mei changed her clothes, she said, "Sir has been alone for so many years. Now that madam is here, he finally has someone to accompany him." Qiao Yuxian looked up at her. Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Madam, forgive me for speaking out of turn. Our sir stands at a very high position, with unspeakable burdens in his heart. He is too lonely, with few to confide in." Qiao Yuxian’s eyelashes trembled. "Madam is the only one I’ve seen who can make sir truly happy and at ease." Aunt Mei continued, "I’ve taken care of sir’s life for many years, I’ve never seen him being so gentle and patient with anyone. If I may overstep my bounds, I hope madam can keep him company more often." Qiao Yuxian didn’t seem to take in the rest of the words, but she remembered the last sentence. Keep him company more. So... just now freshly bathed Gu Yanjing, hearing the knock on the door, upon opening it, saw the girl standing outside, his expression subtly froze. Qiao Yuxian was wearing a red silk robe, tied at the waist, accentuating her small waist. With a V-shaped neckline, the overlapping lapels dipping into the chest. The neckline neither too low nor too high, skin barely visible, making her skin even fairer, the red even more vibrant. Yet this person... looking dazed, completely unaware of how seductive she was. Gu Yanjing, dressed in a black bathrobe, hair still dripping, looked at her and involuntarily gulped. He began speaking, his voice somewhat stiff: "What’s wrong?" Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, Aunt Mei had removed her makeup, washed her face, yet her bare face was delicate, flawless. She suddenly smiled with her eyes, stepped forward and said, "Accompany you to sleep." Gu Yanjing looked at her without moving. Qiao Yuxian saw him not moving, took another step forward, grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the room: "Come on, time to sleep, so sleepy." And Aunt Mei outside, watched as Qiao Yuxian entered Gu Yanjing’s room, smiled immediately, and took out her phone to send a message. [Master, I have good news for you, next year a great-grandchild might be on the way!] It was still early, the master was not asleep yet. Seeing the message, he responded immediately: [Really! Really! Quick, take a video for me, hurry! Hurry!] Aunt Mei chuckled, replying as she walked downstairs: [Master, how could I film such a thing for you.] The master didn’t reply immediately, after a while he sent another message: [Give them more nourishment these days, we must contribute to the great-grandchild.] On this side, Gu Yanjing was pulled to the bedside by Qiao Yuxian, his always calm face now showing a hint of bewilderment. Qiao Yuxian was not polite, reaching the bedside, she lifted the quilt and got in, lying on the inside, leaving the outside for Gu Yanjing. Gu Yanjing looked at her, not moving and not speaking. Qiao Yuxian patted the spot beside her: "Lie down." Gu Yanjing still didn’t move. Qiao Yuxian furrowed her brows slightly. Gu Yanjing noticing her little unhappy expression, took a light breath and said, "Qiao Yuxian, do you know what you’re doing?" His tone was a bit chilly. "Sleeping." Gu Yanjing: "... Do you know who I am?" "Gu Yanjing." The answer for some reason made Gu Yanjing feel a slight relief inside. He laid the quilt she had left out on the bed, tidying it up, then said, "Sleep, I’ll go to the study." He was about to leave after saying that. Qiao Yuxian suddenly sat up, leaning, grabbing his arm: "Don’t go." Gu Yanjing looked at her. Because she was sitting on the bed, leaning forward, from his angle, he saw her skin deep within the neckline. Just one glance, he immediately averted his eyes. "Sleep together." Qiao Yuxian insisted. Gu Yanjing’s jawline was somewhat taut: "......" "Sleep together." Qiao Yuxian’s tone softened a bit, her hand sliding down, grasping his hand, "I don’t want to sleep alone, I’m kind of scared." Gu Yanjing gently clutched her fingertips: "Scared of what?" "The old witch will come to my room and steal things while I sleep." Qiao Yuxian frowned, looking somewhat aggrieved. Gu Yanjing looked at her expression: "Who is the old witch?" "The old witch is just the old witch." Qiao Yuxian said, "Granny stays with me. The old witch doesn’t dare to come." Gu Yanjing: "... I’m not granny." "You are." Qiao Yuxian gripped his hand a little tighter, her voice lower, "You’re sent by granny to take care of me."
