When she was outside, she didn’t care about appearances, but at home, she still wanted her husband to feel she was gentle, considerate, virtuous, and generous...
Gu Tong was utterly speechless...
In Li Yan’s dark eyes, he saw his little woman exhibiting her remarkable face-changing skill, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
He leaned forward, pinched Gu Tong’s chin, and said, "No gift?"
His deep voice carried a hint of mint’s fragrance. Just that one sentence was enough to make Gu Tong utterly captivated.
Gu Tong swallowed, trying to stay calm, and said righteously, "I am your gift..."
The birthday process was already so complete, how could the gift part be missing? Gu Tong had thought about it from the start.
At first, she wanted to hide herself in a big box or tie herself up like a ’gift’ and obediently wait for Li Yan to come back.
To be safe, she left some room for maneuver and didn’t do such a dangerous thing...
The steel-hearted man of hers might have been scared away directly...
"My birthday gift is so special!"
A mischievous smile appeared on Li Yan’s lips as he naturally leaned forward, getting so close he was nearly touching Gu Tong.
Gu Tong looked at him nervously, pouted her lips, and said proudly, "Of course, look whose it is..."
Before she finished speaking, she was lifted by him, losing her balance. Her hands instinctively reached up to hook around Li Yan’s neck.
Gu Tong was startled. She looked at her Earl and was inexplicably shy, saying, "What are you doing..." Official source is ɴovelfire.net
"Can I take my gift home?" Li Yan looked down at her.
This was the first time Li Yan took the initiative...
Whether in a past life or this life...
Gu Tong had never experienced this. She was so nervous her heart was about to leap out, she could hardly find the strength to speak.
Her head naturally leaned against Li Yan, feeling his heartbeat, much faster than usual. He must be nervous too...
Gu Tong lay on the bed, surrounded by the rose petals she had prepared, their rich scent realigning her to the reality of it all. She leaned against the pillow, her breathing became rapid.
"My gift seems very nervous."
Li Yan playfully said, clearly teasing her.
Gu Tong’s face flushed red, stubbornly retorted, "What big storms hasn’t your gift seen! How could it be afraid?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows, his dazzling eyes flickering with a peculiar light. He leaned slightly forward and said, "Seen every situation?"
"..." This clearly was a no-win question. If she had seen it, she’d definitely be seeing ghosts...
But to tell the truth, in her past life, she had indeed seen such things, but at that time, she and Li Yan did not share the deep affection they had now; it was merely about duty, not genuine feelings.
Li Yan curled his lips but didn’t continue teasing her, saying, "You are the best gift from heaven to me!" a treasure he would cherish his whole life.
Gu Tong blinked, clearly stunned, and then was kissed by the man, unable to utter a single word.
Previously, due to the mental block from their wedding night, their relationship had been unable to move forward. After going through various trials, they grew closer and couldn’t be without each other. Li Yan finally let go of everything and genuinely, irresistibly accepted Gu Tong...
A warm stream flowed through Gu Tong’s heart, filled entirely with this man. They basked in happiness, finally heart to heart together, how wonderful...
