The night was deep, accompanied by the cold winter wind.
Qiao Yuxian’s figure suddenly wavered.
Gu Yanjing steadied her for a moment.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Shang Chen, hardly daring to believe what she just heard.
He actually thought the words he said were already tactful.
If that’s what he thinks, does that mean what she said to Dong Qian was unbearable to hear?
"Shang Chen! You’ve got me into trouble!" Qiao Yuxian’s fingers trembled as she pointed at him.
Shang Chen stood in place and didn’t speak.
He reported the truth and even kept it concise, yet she was this angry? Read complete version only at novel✶fire.net
Qiao Yuxian grabbed Gu Yanjing’s hand, pried his fingers open, and pointed one of his index fingers at Shang Chen: "You, go take a language arts course tomorrow."
Shang Chen paused for a moment, looking at Gu Yanjing.
Qiao Yuxian held Gu Yanjing’s hand and said to him, "Why are you looking at him? It’s his finger pointing at you, are you thinking of not listening?"
Shang Chen said nothing.
Gu Yanjing glanced at his own forcibly moving finger and said, "Let Su Qi find a course for you tomorrow, attend it."
"Yes." Shang Chen responded.
As long as Gu Yanjing gave the order, he’d comply no matter what it was.
"Go get some rest." Gu Yanjing said.
Before leaving, Shang Chen glanced at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian threw him a rather smug and provocative little expression.
Once Shang Chen left, Gu Yanjing held the back of Qiao Yuxian’s neck, making her look up at him.
Qiao Yuxian’s smug little expression instantly vanished, and she smiled ingratiatingly at him: "Hehe, Mr. Gu, you’ve had a hard day’s work. Do you need me to rub your shoulders, or give your legs a little massage?"
As she spoke, she made little fists and started gently pounding on his shoulder.
Gu Yanjing looked at her and asked, "Had a conflict?"
"No," Qiao Yuxian said, "I was the one speaking while Dong Qian was too angry to respond. He wanted to make a move, but with Shang Chen by my side, he didn’t dare."
Gu Yanjing held her little fist that was pounding his shoulder.
Qiao Yuxian continued, "But I didn’t say anything that bad. Shang Chen was really smearing me. A little fairy like me would never use foul language."
Gu Yanjing pinched her cheek and smiled slightly.
Qiao Yuxian also smiled, leaned forward into his arms, looked up at him and said: "Mr. Gu, did you miss me today?"
Gu Yanjing lowered his head and kissed her.
Qiao Yuxian smiled again: "Seems you did."
Gu Yanjing kissed her once more, took her hand, and walked towards the villa.
Qiao Yuxian walked beside him saying: "You can’t criticize me today. I didn’t fight, didn’t get hurt, and didn’t use foul language. It was all Shang Chen who took action. I made him shout out when I saw injustice on the road. You see, I know to let Shang Chen handle things, should I get a little reward for that?"
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Seeing that he let her continue, Qiao Yuxian said: "Can I watch one episode of the TV drama tonight before going to bed?"
"No." Gu Yanjing refused without any hesitation.
"Just one episode," Qiao Yuxian repeated, "Just one. Qin Xia’s drama, it airs tonight. In tonight’s episode, the second female lead appears, and I did the voiceover for her. Can’t you let me watch just one episode?"
"No," Gu Yanjing firmly refused.
It was already eleven thirty.
She needed more than an hour to wash up, and if she watched the TV drama...
The drama would update two episodes, she definitely wouldn’t just watch one.
Then she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
"Then I won’t sleep with you tonight," Qiao Yuxian huffed.
Gu Yanjing halted his steps, glanced at her, and directly picked her up, carrying her to his own room.
"Ah!" Qiao Yuxian exclaimed softly, vigorously shaking her legs, "I don’t want to sleep with you, don’t want to sleep with you, don’t want to sleep with you."
Qiao Yuxian shouted all the way, but was still carried back to the room by Gu Yanjing.
When it was time to wash up, Gu Yanjing instructed Qiao Yuxian to return to her own room to fetch her toiletries and skincare items.
He personally watched her get them, and personally brought her back to his room.
When she finished washing up, the two of them lay in bed, Gu Yanjing pulled her into his arms, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t even have a chance to resist.
But... destiny is in one’s own hands.
Fifteen minutes later, hearing Gu Yanjing’s steady breathing, Qiao Yuxian carefully moved her body.
Seeing he didn’t wake, Qiao Yuxian moved again. Bit by bit, she slipped out from his embrace.
She felt around for her phone and headphones, covered herself with the blanket, hiding under it.
With headphones on, she turned on her phone and found the TV drama.
Skipping the opening credits, the twenty-second episode’s title appeared, and she was about to watch the drama!
At this moment, she suddenly felt a chill behind her as the quilt was lifted.
Qiao Yuxian shivered and slowly turned to look at the person behind her.
Gu Yanjing stared at her, his cold eyes in the dark night like a glowing cold sword.
Qiao Yuxian had just looked at her phone and then looked at him, unable to clearly see his face for a moment, but she still felt that icy oppressive sensation.
Her hand instinctively turned off the phone.
The only source of light in the room vanished, plunging it into darkness.
The invisible pressure became more pronounced, constantly closing in on her.
A few seconds later, Gu Yanjing said, "Not sleepy?"
This voice was chilling, betraying no emotion, but felt difficult to deal with.
Qiao Yuxian hesitated between sleepy and not sleepy and then said, "Not very sleepy."
Gu Yanjing said nothing, moved his hand to cover her eyes, and turned on the bedside lamp.
The room lit up, and after a while, Gu Yanjing released his hand from covering her eyes.
Qiao Yuxian slowly adjusted to the light, opened her eyes, and carefully looked at Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing’s expression was colder than when he usually looked at her, but probably not to the point of being angry.
Qiao Yuxian looked for two seconds, during which her mind worked quickly, eventually deciding that playing cute would be more effective.
She quickly turned over, lifted the quilt between them, burrowed into his arms, and buried her face in his shoulder, saying, "I’m bored and can’t sleep. You won’t let me watch. I just want to sneak in an episode. One episode and I’ll sleep."
"Can’t sleep without watching." Gu Yanjing touched her head.
"Mm." Qiao Yuxian hesitated and responded.
Trying to get a chance to watch TV tonight.
She finished speaking, waiting for Gu Yanjing’s response.
But after waiting for a while, Gu Yanjing was silent.
She lifted her head to look at him.
Just as she glimpsed his face, he suddenly flipped her over, pressing her down.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t even have time to cry out before any sound was swallowed by Gu Yanjing.
He kissed her heavily.
His hand slipped under her pajama hem...
Soon, Qiao Yuxian’s whole body was trembling lightly.
Her hand initially gripped Gu Yanjing’s pajamas tightly but gradually lost its strength.
Gu Yanjing felt the person beneath him trembling fiercely, looking pitiful.
He softened his movements.
Until Qiao Yuxian suddenly let out a soft whimper like a kitten from her throat.
Her pitiful demeanor was enticing.
Only then did Gu Yanjing slightly lift his body to look at her.
His cold eyes seemed aflame, and his eyes were intensely red at the corners, breathing heavily.
He looked at Qiao Yuxian’s flushed skin and fluttering eyelashes.
Her eyes were closed, her lashes tinged with teardrops.
He gazed at her for a moment, swallowed hard, and in a hoarse voice said, "Open your eyes."
Qiao Yuxian didn’t open her eyes and even turned her head to one side.
Gu Yanjing pinched her face and turned her head back, saying, "Qiao Yuxian."
The voice was somewhat harsh, and Qiao Yuxian hesitated for a moment but slowly opened her eyes.
Her eye rims had turned all pink, her beautiful eyes filled with shimmering tears, bright and clear as if washed by water.
She looked timidly at Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing took a breath lightly and asked, "Still watching?"
Qiao Yuxian shook her little head like a rattle.
"Can you sleep without watching?" Gu Yanjing asked again.
Qiao Xia’s rattled head nodded obediently.
"Will you still stay up late in the future?" Gu Yanjing said.
Qiao Yuxian hurriedly shook her head again.
Seeing her obedient demeanor, Gu Yanjing kissed her eyes gently and said, "Sleep, then."
As soon as he let go of her, Qiao Yuxian immediately rolled over, hiding herself under the quilt.
Gu Yanjing looked at the small bundle on the bed, touched her little head through the quilt, and got up to shower.
When he returned after showering, Qiao Yuxian was already asleep.
She had come out from under the quilt, sleeping in the middle of the bed, hugging the quilt and sleeping soundly.
Gu Yanjing stood beside the bed watching her for a moment, lay down, and embraced her.
Qiao Yuxian did not wake up, found a comfortable position in his arms, placed her hand on him, and continued sleeping.
Gu Yanjing kissed her brow again, touched her face, looked at her for a while, and then closed his eyes to sleep.
