Luo Mengmeng, who was already shy, blushed even more when she heard him mention "fiance" again. The thought of what might happen next made her restlessly fidget, as if she was afraid yet anticipating it.
It was a very complex feeling!
By her side, Gu Zhihan noticed her nervousness and watched her little face with interest.
Was she worried about what was going to happen later?
When the car finally arrived home, Luo Mengmeng instinctively pushed open the door, trying to run toward her own home.
But she had only taken a few steps before a strong arm pulled her back into his embrace, "On our engagement night, where else would you be if not with your fiance?"
"I... I..." Luo Mengmeng’s cheeks turned beet red, and she stuttered without getting a word out.
She couldn’t possibly say she was scared to consummate their marriage?
Or that she wasn’t ready yet?
"Stop with the ’I’s, it’s getting late, we should go home and sleep," he said.
After Gu Zhihan finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Luo Mengmeng to react. He scooped her up and strode toward the house.
"Ah!?" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but exclaim, hastily wrapping her arms around his neck, fearful of falling, her misty eyes gazing at his handsome face as she pouted, "Couldn’t you have warned me before picking me up?"
"I like surprises," he said.
Once inside the house, Luo Mengmeng realized that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu seemed to be out.
"Aren’t my godfather and godmother home?" Mengmeng curiously asked after looking around the empty house.
"They’re not," replied Gu Zhihan.
"Then, where did they go?" Luo Mengmeng, trying not to be too nervous, was making an effort to find a topic of conversation to calm her excited and anxious heart.
Hearing her question, Gu Zhihan’s lips curved into a deeply meaningful smile, "They... went to stay at a hotel so they wouldn’t disturb our engagement night."
Luo Mengmeng nearly fainted from the shock.
She had intended to make small talk to ease her nerves, but instead, it all circled back to the start.
"What do you think, aren’t they considerate?" Gu Zhihan teased her, knowing full well how tense she was.
"Yes, very consi... considerate..." Luo Mengmeng was on the verge of tears.
"Then let’s not waste time. Do you want to shower first, or should I?" he asked as he set the little lady by the bathroom door, letting her choose.
"Or, we can shower together if you like," Gu Zhihan added at the end, smiling as he prepared to push the bathroom door open and take the little lady inside for a bath together.
"No... I don’t want to shower together..." Luo Mengmeng clung tightly to the door frame, determined not to enter the bathroom with him.
Two people naked together in the shower, how awkward would that be!
"Alright then," Gu Zhihan looked at her helplessly before entering the bathroom, "I’ll go first, and you can follow."
"Okay... okay," Luo Mengmeng quickly nodded in agreement.
After he entered the bathroom, Luo Mengmeng let out a slight sigh of relief and walked over to the bedside, placing her little purse on the nightstand.
It wasn’t until after she put it down that she remembered the mysterious gift from Tong Mo inside. So Luo Mengmeng hurriedly took out the measures and candies from her purse.
