Chapter 210 - 190: Preparing for Pregnancy, No Drinking
Gu Qimiao felt moved by his words, but seeing his expression, it was clear he was joking. Besides, she had not completely lost her mind yet. The distance between them was far more than just a difference in status.She turned around, pushed him away, and created some distance evasively, not letting her gaze fall on his face. "Brother Yan Chen, don’t joke with me."
Shen Yanchen let go of her hand and looked up at her. "Why do you think I’m joking?"
Gu Qimiao gave a slightly self-mocking smile, got up and sat in the spot he was in before, moving her gaze outside the window to change the topic.
Shen Yanchen slightly furrowed his brow, looking at her, not understanding why she felt inferior, thinking she wasn’t worthy of him? In his impression, she was not such a timid person. But what other factors made her work so hard to hide her feelings for him?
Because of his earlier actions, the atmosphere took a long time to calm down a bit.
They sat on the boat for over an hour. She kept looking at the beautiful scenery, while he spent most of the time watching her.
When they got off the boat, it was already 9 PM. The wind was a bit chilly. She was wearing his coat, the sleeves covering her entire hands, making her small figure look even more dwarfed by the oversized clothing.
He couldn’t help but want to pull her into his arms.
Seeing her struggle to walk in high heels, he flagged down a car from the roadside to take them back to the hotel.
The first thing he did was go into the room to take a shower, changing out of the clothes with lipstick stains. He loosely wore a silk robe, lit a cigarette, and looked around the room. Then, he walked to the door, looking at the door across the hall, leaned against his doorway, took a few puffs of the cigarette, with his eyes fixed in place, seemingly deep in thought.
After standing still for a moment, with the cigarette halfway finished, he returned to the room and extinguished it in the ashtray. Then he went back to the bathroom, filled a wooden bucket with water, and dumped it directly onto his bed.
The originally comfortable bed instantly became soaking wet. He continued to dump two more buckets, until the sheets were drenched, dripping water onto the floor. Only when the entire room looked waterlogged did Shen Yanchen feel satisfied.
Then he left the door wide open, making sure to slam it loudly on purpose.
Gu Qimiao in the opposite room heard the noise and came out, looking at Shen Yanchen standing by the door with a confused expression. "What happened?"
Shen Yanchen raised an eyebrow and pointed inside. "Something bad happened."
Gu Qimiao walked over in confusion, seeing the room looking like it had been flooded, she was completely dumbfounded.
Shen Yanchen simply said, "It looks like there’s a leak somewhere."
"What should we do? We should call someone to fix it."
"I did, but they said the workers are off duty and won’t come until tomorrow. Tonight, I’ll have to share a room with you."
Before Gu Qimiao could process what he said, Shen Yanchen had already turned and walked into her room.
Seeing him reach out to push the door open, Gu Qimiao suddenly thought of something, hurriedly ran inside ahead of him, quickly gathered up the [under][wear] from the bed, and stuffed it into the closet.
Shen Yanchen watched her movements and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Pretending as if he hadn’t seen anything, he walked over and sat down on the bed.
His gaze fleetingly fell on Gu Qimiao’s chest. It was apparent that she wasn’t wearing a bra, and her small buds were faintly raised.
Gu Qimiao felt a bit awkward looking at him, trying to appear more composed, but couldn’t manage to adjust her expression.
Shen Yanchen withdrew his gaze, lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and looked at her. "It’s late, come to bed."
Gu Qimiao slowly walked over, lying down at the edge of the bed. He moved the blanket over to her, and she grabbed the corner to cover her chest.
Luckily, the bed was large enough for the two of them to sleep comfortably, but just knowing he was on the same bed made her heart flutter.
As soon as she lay down, he reached over and turned off all the lights.
Gu Qimiao carefully turned her head to glance at him. In the dim light, his eyes were already closed, and he was lying flat, seemingly asleep.
Gu Qimiao slowly turned her body to face away from him, closing her eyes, trying to make herself fall asleep quickly, but her mind became even more awake.
This wasn’t the first time they had shared a bed, but her feelings were no more relaxed than the first time.
All was quiet around her, so quiet she could hear his breathing and her own heartbeat. She didn’t know how much time passed before drowsiness finally arrived.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, muddled and drowsy, she suddenly felt someone hug her from behind. The warmth made Gu Qimiao suddenly open her eyes wide. She turned her head to see Shen Yanchen’s face in deep sleep, his hand tightly wrapped around her body, his broad chest pressing against her.
Her heart, which had only just calmed, started to race again. She lay there stiff, staring at him for a while, realizing he had just moved over in his sleep, and thinking it was intentional to hold her.
