Chapter 229 - 207 I Want to Be with You Forever
Gu Qimiao lay on his back, opened her eyes, and secretly glanced at his profile, her breath filled with his faint hair fragrance.They walked for a while, and she realized that he was having a hard time carrying her; his back was sweaty, and his shirt was soaked. Fortunately, the night breeze was quite comfortable.
Shen Yanchen could feel her constantly moving, particularly restless, thinking it was because she was feeling uncomfortable from being drunk.
He heard her softly whimper in his ear and then murmur indistinctly, "Shen Yanchen..."
Shen Yanchen shifted her body upward and softly responded, "Hmm?"
Even when drunk, she called his name.
"...Shen Yanchen." She called again, making him think she was drinking because of him.
Could it be that Gu Moming forced her to divorce, making her upset and come drinking?
"I... hiccup." She hiccuped, and Shen Yanchen quietly listened to her broken words.
"...Like you, let’s date, okay?"
Her drunken voice whispered in his ear, and Shen Yanchen’s lips curled into a smile. He continued walking, carrying her, and said, "What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly."
Like a spoiled child, she shook his neck and said, "I like you... can we date?"
Shen Yanchen walked a couple of steps, his smile deepening. Thinking she was not in her right mind, he responded with a simple "Okay."
"Really?!" She suddenly sobered up, straightened her body from his back, and slid down, "Did you just say it’s true?"
Shen Yanchen turned to look at her, retracting his smile. Was she pretending to be drunk?
They were at a corner, the streetlamp shone dimly, partially hidden by the trees, casting dappled shadows on the road.
Gu Qimiao nervously looked at him, his silence made her more anxious. Did he know she was lying and got angry?
She had just exposed herself out of excitement...
Seeing his continued silence and feeling increasingly uneasy, she clenched her fists, looked up at him with sincere eyes, and asked again, "I’ve liked you for a long time... I want to be with you always! Can I?"
Whether from worry or nervousness, her voice trembled, her face blushed red, making her look exceptionally enticing.
Shen Yanchen stared at her for a few seconds, thinking he hadn’t had the chance to confess yet. Wasn’t the girl supposed to be more reserved?
Under her expectant gaze, he raised his brows lightly, his demeanor very calm, masking his inner excitement and joy, and said softly, "I already answered you."
Gu Qimiao was both surprised and delighted, confirming again in disbelief, "So you agreed?!"
Shen Yanchen nodded slightly, looking at her with a light smile. His feelings for her deepened, feeling like he was truly captivated by this silly girl, yet he couldn’t resist her.
After his confirmation, she joyfully took a second, then worriedly said, "Are you serious? I have a disease... and it might be hereditary. Aren’t you afraid?"
Shen Yanchen furrowed his brows slightly, never having thought she would worry about this. Seeing her current look, did she hide her feelings for him all this time because of this?
Gu Qimiao saw his frown and thought he must have changed his mind after knowing her condition. Given his family background, how could they accept a woman with a hereditary disease?
Just as she was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, his face suddenly magnified before her, and the next second, her breath was cut off...
He held her tightly, his kiss controlled her, and she wanted to respond but couldn’t keep up with his pace. She passively cooperated, her hands lifted, tightly hugging him, her heart finally at ease...
Hearing her slightly gasping, Shen Yanchen released her, his smile carrying a hint of wickedness, very different from his usual seriousness. Gazing at her blushing face, he teasingly said, "Do you think I’m afraid?"
Gu Qimiao bit her lips, lowered her head, and chuckled. Shen Yanchen lifted her chin, tilting her head up, "Did you just say you’ve liked me for a long time?"
Gu Qimiao averted her gaze, her face red beyond measure.
"How long is a long time?" He grasped her chin, not letting her dodge, "Pretending to be drunk to make me carry you this far? How will you compensate me?"
Gu Qimiao was too shy, plunging into his embrace, refusing to lift her head again.
Shen Yanchen smiled indulgently, stroking her head, looking down at her in his arms, "How about we find a hotel nearby?"
His sudden question made Gu Qimiao catch the hidden meaning. She felt his suggestiveness was overpowering, unlike his usual subtlety.
"Hmm?" He pressed, his large hand unintentionally or otherwise landing on her butt, slightly pressing and pulling her tightly against him.
Gu Qimiao felt her face burning, murmuring in his arms, "I want to go home."
Shen Yanchen released her, bending down in front of her. Gu Qimiao smiled, climbed on his back, and hugged his neck affectionately.
As he walked forward, he asked, "Why didn’t you get in the car earlier?"
Gu Qimiao wiggled her feet and said, "How could you carry me if I got in the car?"
"Didn’t expect you had a lot on your mind too."
Gu Qimiao rubbed her head against his neck and peeked at him, "Did you really agree to date me?"
"Agree to what?" he teased her.
As expected, she pouted, shaking her feet impatiently, "To date me!"
He responded casually, "Oh, we’ll see."
Gu Qimiao pouted, unsatisfied with his perfunctory answer, but still pleasantly surprised by tonight’s outcome.
If she had known earlier that he liked her too, they might have been together long ago.
He carried her steadily, she wasn’t heavy, and he didn’t even feel out of breath by the time they got home.
Watching him input the code on the door, Gu Qimiao wanted to get down and change her shoes once inside. However, he didn’t let go, carrying her straight to the bedroom without turning on the lights, and simply tossed her onto the bed.
"Brother Yan Chen!" she exclaimed, and he bent down, biting her lip, leading her step by step into a kiss.
Their kisses were intermittent but never stopping, the slight gasps during this moment seemed especially enticing.
His hand slid down her body, fingers landing on her jeans button, easily flicking it open as the zipper slid halfway down. Her small hand pressed against his chest, those bright eyes in the dark gazed at him, her breath hitting his neck as she spoke, "...I, I haven’t showered yet."
