Gu Qingyao did not move. She clutched her blanket and looked at him without a word.
Mo Beihan flipped over and rested his head by his chin. He moved nearer and said, “You’re a little nervous, aren’t you?”
Gu Qingyao blinked and nodded as she clutched her blanket.
Could she not be nervous?
After all, this was beyond her experience.
Mo Beihan had been very good to her in her previous life. He had treasured and protected her. Actually, there was a long period of time wherein she overcame her trauma, and she had occasionally been intimate with him.
Even then, they had only hugged or exchanged a few brief kisses. Mo Beihan was probably afraid of frightening her. If she could not accept it, then it would be awkward for them. So he had always held himself strictly in check. He had never expressed such desires in front of her.
Later on, they were preparing to get married, so he was even less urgent. After all, he had waited for more than ten years. He did not mind waiting a little longer.
Since she had been reborn, they had interacted the most last year at home, when she took the initiative to kiss him a few times before her family came back.
They were an old, married couple, but they acted as if they were dating!
Even she did not know what to say!
Mo Beihan laughed and lay on his side as he looked at her. He reached out to twirl her long hair around his fingers.
“Don’t worry. You don’t need to feel anxious when you’re with me. In less than a year, I will definitely marry you. I have that much patience at least. I promise I won’t do anything to you until we are married. Be good! Wait until you can marry me.”
His eyes were gleaming with amusement. He was a little smug, and his smile was a little mischievous. He looked at Gu Qingyao, sure that she could not escape from him.
Gu Qingyao blushed and glared at him. She shrank into her blanket.
She was shy!
That delighted Mo Beihan even more!
He smiled and said, “Are you hungry? Get up and have breakfast, then we have to make a trip to your third uncle’s house. They’ll be worried about you!”
Gu Qingyao clutched her blanket. “I’m not getting up!”
Mo Beihan was amused and leaned over to coax her. “Be a good girl! Get up and have breakfast. I will be sad if you don’t eat breakfast. Don’t frighten me! I will panic and be thrown into confusion. What do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you right now, all right?
“Yao Yao! You can beat me or scold me! But you must eat. If you don’t eat, I’ll feel as if my world is collapsing…”
“Ah ah, you jerk… stop it…” Even before Mo Beihan could finish speaking, Gu Qingyao could not stand it any longer. This fellow! This fellow!
He was doing it on purpose!
Gu Qingyao sat up angrily and swung her pillow at him.
Mo Beihan was delighted. He casually carried her off the bed.
“Ah! What are you doing? Put me down!”
Mo Beihan carried her towards the toilet and said, “Be good! Listen to me and brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat breakfast. Then I’ll bring you out to play, ok?”
It was as if he was coaxing a child.
By the time he finished speaking, they had reached the toilet. Gu Qingyao was not as shameless as him, so she stopped bickering with him. After she washed up, they had breakfast in the living room.
It was late, so she did not cook. She just took some food from her interspace, then started packing for her trip to her Third Uncle’s place.
Mo Beihan saw that she was only packing presents, mostly grain, meat and rice, as well as some snacks for the two children. She did not bring any of her clothes or belongings. He hesitated. “Aren’t you staying with your third uncle this time?”
Although he hoped that Yao Yao would stay with him, it was impossible that Gu Qingyao would come to the provincial capital and not stay with her third uncle.
Gu Qingyao shook her head as she packed. “Uhm! I’m not!”
