Chapter 70 - 66: All are legal

In the morning, the sunlight was just right, and the autumn breeze was cool. Inside, however, it was dim and dark, with only a sliver of light peeking through the curtains. Qiao Yuxian propped herself up, eyes wide with shock, her whole body cold and stiff, her brain freezing up. Gu Yanjing lay flat on the bed, proper and still, not moving the whole night. The only difference from his sleeping position was that his arm had wrapped Qiao Yuxian into his embrace. Because at night, Qiao Yuxian kept rolling back and forth on the bed, even wanted to lie across it. In the end, she ended up next to him, face against his shoulder, hand resting on him. He then pulled her into his embrace, preventing her from moving back and forth. After that, Qiao Yuxian was quiet and hardly moved all night. So when she woke up early in the morning, the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Gu Yanjing’s Adam’s apple from the side. Gu Yanjing’s expression was calm, with a hint of drowsiness in his eyes. Looking at the surprised and frozen girl in front of him, he said in a slightly husky voice, "Awake?" After Gu Yanjing said those two words, Qiao Yuxian seemed to come back to herself, suddenly sat up, and after being dazed for a few seconds, she quickly looked down at her own clothes. A red bathrobe, and inside, a camisole nightdress. After a night’s sleep, the belt of the bathrobe had come loose, and she only wore one side of the robe, the other had somehow been taken off without her realizing. When Gu Yanjing’s arm held her, he had also wrapped the clothing around her shoulders; now, as she sat up, half of it slipped down. This nightgown... the front was a bit too low. Also, this outfit had been at the bottom of her trunk, how did it end up on her. And why was she on Gu Yanjing’s bed. And why was she missing a chunk of memory. Qiao Yuxian, filled with confusion, first fixed her bathrobe. Hearing some noise beside her, she immediately turned her head to look over. At the moment she turned, her gaze carried a hint of fierceness. It was directed at the person beside her. But when she met Gu Yanjing’s gaze, the fierceness instantly dissipated. Gu Yanjing also sat up, the fabric of his robe soft, outlining the lines of his arm and chest muscles. Not exaggerated, but full of strength. Just waking up, his cold expression carried a bit of lazy casualness. His eyebrows were refined, his thin lips a light pink. Qiao Yuxian’s life creed: Never harm a beauty. She dazed for a moment, met Gu Yanjing’s gaze, and a few seconds later, her small face turned red, she turned and was about to run off the bed. But the blanket wrapped around her leg, she hurriedly tried to get off, but was tripped by the blanket, her leg kneeled on the bed, and she nearly fell off the bed headfirst. Seeing she was about to fall headfirst onto the ground. Gu Yanjing immediately stopped her. Then both of them remained still. Gu Yanjing worried she would fall, hurriedly went to support her. Only focused on supporting her. In an instant, his hand felt like it had been electrocuted, the unfamiliar, soft sensation traveled from his fingertips straight to his heart, then to his brain. Mr. Gu’s expression was stiff. Unflinching in all situations, Mr. Gu’s ears turned red. Qiao Yuxian now wished she could find a hole to crawl into and disappear from the earth altogether. She kicked at the blanket that had wrapped around her leg, trying to throw it off. Instead of throwing it off, she sank even lower. Pressing herself more firmly against Gu Yanjing’s hand. Gu Yanjing felt his hand not daring to move. With his other hand, he wrapped around her waist, pulled her over, then flipped the blanket off her legs, letting her sit up properly. Qiao Yuxian sat in front of him, her face red enough to drip blood, eyes darting around in a mess, not knowing where to look, or what to do. Gu Yanjing also stayed quiet for a while, after touching her hand, stiffly bent his fingers. After a while, seeing her face getting redder, he pulled the blanket over and draped it around her, leaving only her little head exposed: "Feel better this way?" Qiao Yuxian immediately gathered the blanket, even burying her head inside: "Mm." Gu Yanjing looked at the bundle of blanket in front of him, after a few seconds, a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes. His voice cold, tone slightly lazy: "Didn’t you say it yourself. We’re husband and wife, everything we do is legal." Qiao Yuxian tugged the blanket tighter around herself, her small voice muffled: "It’s only legal if I’m willing, if I’m not, then it’s marital rape." Gu Yanjing’s amusement froze in his eyes: "......" He ground his teeth, speaking through clenched teeth: "I haven’t touched upon those two words." Qiao · the bundle of blanket · Yuxian seemed to pause for two seconds, then inside the blanket, suddenly began moving, fumbling, twisting around. As if checking if she’d suffered any loss. After a good while, the bundle of blanket quieted down, returning to its previous stillness. "Even if something did happen, I haven’t touched upon those two words." Gu Yanjing coldly said as he watched her quiet down. A question mark emerged above the blanket. What does that mean? What do you mean even if something happened, I haven’t touched upon those two words? Was it all initiated by her? "There’s surveillance in the room." Gu Yanjing, seeing her lack of response, casually spoke this sentence. These simple five words yet caused huge damage to Qiao Yuxian., The bundle of blanket seemed petrified, losing all signs of life. After another while, a small, angry voice emerged from inside: "Who installs surveillance in their own room for no reason!" "I do." Gu Yanjing responded with a single word. Qiao Yuxian: "......" "High definition." Gu Yanjing added three more words. Qiao Yuxian: "!!!" Is this something a normal person would say, uttering it so calmly like talking about what to eat for lunch! Qiao Yuxian, angry, kicked him with her foot. Not heavy, but one kick after another. Gu Yanjing didn’t move, just gazing down at her fair and tender little feet, kicking at him one after another. He rubbed his fingertips, controlling himself from touching her. "Forget it!" Qiao Yuxian said, kicking him while speaking. "Forget what?" Gu Yanjing intentionally asked serious. "Forget everything, don’t remember anything." Qiao Yuxian exclaimed inside the blanket. Gu Yanjing got off the bed, standing at the side, looking again at her exposed foot, squeezed his own hand, paused and said: "Can’t forget." Qiao Yuxian was repeatedly angered, her little temper couldn’t be held back any longer, swiftly pulled back the blanket to glare at Gu Yanjing. Gu Yanjing stood at the side of the bed, figure tall and slender, proportion perfect. His surrounding aura was cold, expression light, eyes as usual, containing a chill. He saw Qiao Yuxian’s fierce little appearance, expressionless lightly moved his eyebrows. Qiao Yuxian, meeting his gaze, immediately wrapped herself back in the blanket, burying her head again, speaking no more. Gu Yanjing watched her for a moment, leaned in to rub her head: "I didn’t do anything illegal. Just now touching you was an accident. I apologize." "Don’t say it, forget!" Qiao Yuxian moved inside the blanket. Gu Yanjing’s hand reached inside the blanket, caressed her burning little face. Qiao Yuxian obediently let him caress for a moment, still said inside the blanket: "I feel a bit... particularly awkward right now." "Mm." Gu Yanjing lightly responded. "I want to go back to my room to change clothes." Qiao Yuxian held onto one of his fingers, voice small, discussing with him, "Can I leave wrapped in your blanket? I don’t want to leave this blanket right now." "Yes." Gu Yanjing finished speaking, and before Qiao Yuxian could move, he picked up both the blanket and her, carrying her back to the room.
