Since it was getting late, the couple naturally decided to stay at her parents’ house for the night, which seemed quite fitting.
The place they stayed was, naturally, Gu Tong’s room. The furniture and decorations, including the small trinkets, were just as Gu Tong had left them, making it feel cozy and warm. The only difference, of course, was the addition of a man.
Gu Tong’s bedroom had an elegant and light decor, all in beige tones—not as girlish as pink, nor as oppressive as dark colors, appearing natural and bright, just like her personality.
At this moment, Gu Tong was lying horizontally on the bed, leisurely watching Li Yan standing in the middle of the room. She waved her hand and said, "Sit wherever you like, make yourself at home~"
Her bold attitude was nothing short of arrogant, embodying the style of a boss.
Li Yan’s mouth twitched a couple of times.
He didn’t move. Instead, he looked around at the furnishings in Gu Tong’s room and asked calmly, "What did your mother talk to you about?"
He didn’t mean anything by it; he was just worried that Gu Tong had been scolded, given how obvious Gu Wangjue’s display of Feng Shulan’s household authority was.
"She taught me how to be a good lady of the house. She said the long nights are lonely, and we should value our time together, so honey, I’ve been thinking..."
Gu Tong was spouting nonsense, embellishing and altering lines as she liked. She said seriously, "A night of passion is worth a thousand gold coins. We’ve already wasted a fortune, and we should cherish the time we have. Otherwise, we’ll regret it."
"..." She never acts properly...
Li Yan held his forehead and sat on the edge of the bed, speechless. Before he could settle in, he felt a pair of restless little hands hook around his neck from behind.
Gu Tong buried her head next to Li Yan’s ear, blew gently, and said, "I’ve thought it over, and I’m ready to change and start anew. Honey, you have to give me a chance~"
This is clearly escalating! Setting the mountain on fire!
Li Yan’s mouth twitched again. He glanced at the little woman behind him and found it hard to keep a straight face. He said in a calm voice, "We’re at your home, don’t mess around."
After all, the walls have ears. They were still newlyweds, and if anyone overheard something, it wouldn’t be good.
"I’m already yours, what are you afraid of?"
Gu Tong paid no mind, thoroughly enjoying teasing her man and found it quite addictive. She said, "Besides, I can’t sleep without some kisses, cuddles, and being lifted high."
Acting coquettish, playing innocent, and being proud, Gu Tong used every trick she could to bombard her Earl without a hint of hesitation.
Li Yan held his forehead again, feeling helpless about his little woman’s mischievous ways.
This was their current routine, a so-called transitional period. Their close relationship had come suddenly, and even though it continued to this day, it was still hard to completely change.
Perhaps they needed a turning point to completely change their way of interacting.
Gu Tong knew this in her heart, so she wasn’t in a rush. She licked her lips, stopped teasing him, and said, "Honey, tell me a story, and let’s sleep together."
"Tell a story?" Devil King, telling a story, a fairy tale?
The mental image is just too mismatched...
"Yes, just tell me something, about the missions you’ve been on over the years. I’m interested in those."
To put it bluntly, Gu Tong just wanted to find ways to learn more about him and fill the emotional gaps in their past. If she found an opportunity, she wouldn’t let it slip and would seize it perfectly.
