Chapter 613: Chapter 614: Struggle
Gu Qichen moved to open the door.
His hand was already touching the doorknob.
Xia Yangyang’s mind completely froze.
She had never been this nervous in her life.
She felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff, one foot already stepped off.
In the next second, she would plunge into the abyss, shattering into a million pieces.
Xia Yangyang was still making a futile struggle deep in her mind.
Now, she held onto one belief.
She had to stop Gu Qichen from opening the door.
He couldn’t open the door!
The door had already cracked open a sliver.
The next second, Xia Yangyang suddenly lunged, wrapped her arms around Gu Qichen’s neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.
Gu Qichen obviously stiffened.
Xia Yangyang pressed against the door and closed it once again.
After closing the door, Xia Yangyang finally let out a breath.
Her full attention had been outside just now.
All she could think of was not letting Xia Ye see her.
But now, the atmosphere seemed to have abruptly changed.
There was disbelief in Gu Qichen’s eyes.
Xia Yangyang’s lips were still pressed against his.
Their bodies were so close, their breaths mingling.
The unique clean fragrance of orchids from Gu Qichen filled her nose.
Mixed with the unique fragrance of his usual body wash.
This smell was too familiar for Xia Yangyang she was momentarily at a loss.
A flame ignited in Gu Qichen’s normally icy eyes, growing hotter and hotter.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t tell whether it was a flame of anger or desire.
Xia Yangyang also froze, before she released Gu Qichen and tilted her body backward.
But the door was right behind her.
Xia Yangyang had nowhere to retreat to.
Their bodies were still close together.
Xia Yangyang stared intently into Gu Qichen’s eyes.
Watching a storm playing out within them.
To avoid one pitfall, she seemed to have thrown herself into a bigger one.
But at that moment, it was the only way she could disrupt Gu Qichen’s focus.
Only then could she make him momentarily forget the child outside the door.
“Xia Yangyang, do you know what you were just doing?” Gu Qichen’s voice was icy and hoarse.
Xia Yangyang knew that from Gu Qichen’s perspective, she must have seemed insane.
Actually, her actions even seemed foolish to her now.
Gu Qichen was such a smart man.
Even if he was momentarily stunned.
It would be easy for him to guess what had transpired.
Xia Yangyang thought to herself. Her motives couldn’t be that transparent.
It would be easy for Gu Qichen to guess that she had instinctively done what she did to conceal some motive.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t let Gu Qichen think that way.
At the very least, she had to leave him confused, unable to guess what she was thinking.
Xia Yangyang gritted her teeth and looked into Gu Qichen’s eyes, her emotions becoming more apparent.
Xia Yangyang said: “Of course I know what I’m doing.”
After she finished speaking, she initiated the kiss again.
This time, it was not like the light peck she gave him earlier.
Xia Yangyang was very enthusiastic and tantalizingly provocative.
Gu Qichen just came out from the shower and wasn’t wearing any clothes.
Xia Yangyang’s hand rested on Gu Qichen’s chest.
Yet she discovered that Gu Qichen’s body was even hotter than the palm of her hand.
But at this moment. Gu Qichen was still frozen.
His gaze fixed on Xia Yangyang’s face, watching her purposely provocative expression, his eyes casting an obscure light.
