Chapter 236 - 214: The Insatiable Wolf
The night deepened. Xiaoxiao didn’t get much sleep last night and was worried he wouldn’t eat during the day, so she didn’t rest either. Now, she was feeling a bit drowsy.Gu Moming saw her yawn and said after a while, "Go to the accompanying bed; I need the chair for my feet."
Xiaoxiao suddenly snapped awake. She got up from the stool, placed the stool where he could rest his feet, and then went to the bathroom before sitting on the accompanying bed.
She washed her face but couldn’t hold off sleep for long, slowly lying down on the bed, leaning on the pillow to watch TV.
Gu Moming glanced at her, picked up the remote, and lowered the TV volume. When he checked again shortly after, she was already asleep.
Her small mouth slightly open, there was a gentle snoring sound—she must be utterly exhausted by now?
Seeing her curled up with the blanket folded at the foot of the bed, and himself unable to move,
he thought for a moment and then pressed the bedside call button.
When the nurse saw it was his room number, she immediately ran over, "What’s wrong?"
Thinking it was Gu Moming causing trouble again, she was surprised to find the room peacefully quiet.
Gu Moming pointed his chin at Xiaoxiao on the accompanying bed and commanded the nurse in a low voice, "Cover her with the blanket."
The nurse was initially stunned, then smiled knowingly. She walked over lightly and covered Xiaoxiao with the blanket. Then she said to Gu Moming, "It’s late; you should rest too. You need to cooperate with your recovery so you can take care of your girlfriend better, right?"
Gu Moming glared at her and turned off the TV.
The nurse walked over to lower his bed, making it flat. She said, "This girlfriend of yours, you must cherish her well. She sticks with you and takes good care of you during this tough time. Once you’re better, you should love her twice as much, otherwise..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out!" Gu Moming cursed under his breath.
Fortunately, the nurse knew his temper. She pursed her lips without saying more and closed the door quietly as she left.
Gu Moming furrowed his brows slightly, but couldn’t help looking at Xiaoxiao. The restless heart inside him inexplicably calmed down.
Without Gu Qimiao, could he also find his happiness?
Has happiness always been around, but he just never discovered it?
Thinking about the girl who grew up with him and was practically his lifelong companion, who now became someone else’s wife and would soon marry and have children, her happiness and joy would no longer involve him, making his heart inevitably desolate.
Recalling the eighteen years of moments together, he had thought more than once that they would last a lifetime.
If it weren’t for that wedding, if she hadn’t met Shen Yanchen again, would their ending have been different?
Many hypothetical scenarios, but the outcome is already set. Perhaps, he shouldn’t have taken Gu Qimiao away in the first place. Taking her with him, twenty years weren’t enough to win her heart.
He closed his eyes, cutting off these vexing thoughts. The days ahead, he must start getting used to life without her...
...
When the car stopped in the underground parking lot, Gu Qimiao had already fallen asleep in the car with her head tilted.
She had been tormented all night and didn’t get a good nap during the day. Even now, she could sleep so soundly in the car’s swaying motion.
He didn’t immediately open the door, but instead, turned on the car light to get a clearer look at her sleeping face.
Her delicate appearance could make one’s heart ache.
He reached out and pinched her cheek, and her slightly pouted mouth made him want to tease her more.
Perhaps his grip was too strong, causing her to frown, her eyelashes to flutter, and she opened her eyes.
Those pure black eyes, clean and clear, rubbed as she looked at him, slightly dissatisfied and muttering, "What’s wrong?"
Shen Yanchen chuckled lightly and leaned closer to her, "Had enough sleep? Can we continue our exercise tonight?"
Gu Qimiao’s face flushed instantly; all her sleepiness vanished as she turned to look out the window, realizing she was home.
When she turned back, before she could speak, his lips were already pressing on hers, pushing her against the car window, body pressing more insistently against her.
In the confined space, under the dim light, in the quiet parking lot, their breathing was clearly audible.
After a moment’s plundering, he raised his head slightly to give her a chance to breathe.
Gu Qimiao pushed him away with her hand and complained, "You’re heavy..."
Shen Yanchen smiled faintly, "Then how about you be on top?"
Gu Qimiao hurriedly reached to open the car door, "So tired... let’s go back and rest quickly."
He followed her out of the car and locked it. Walking behind her, he suddenly scooped her up by her waist.
She screamed in surprise, flustered and embarrassed, "What are you doing? Let me down!"
Shen Yanchen ignored her, carrying her into the elevator and pressing the floor button.
Gu Qimiao tried hard to slide down, but his hand smacked her bottom as a punishment, signaling her to behave.
The elevator "dinged" and stopped on the first floor. An elderly lady outside saw them grappling inside and hesitated.
Gu Qimiao’s face turned bright red immediately. She hurriedly broke free from Shen Yanchen’s arms, standing on the ground with an awkward expression, while the man behind her casually fixed his clothes, looking every bit the gentleman, as if he hadn’t just done something improper. The embarrassment fell onto Gu Qimiao and the elderly lady outside the door.
The elderly lady stepped in, and Gu Qimiao moved to a corner near the elevator buttons. The elderly lady reached out to press a floor, and just as Gu Qimiao was about to close the door, he suddenly bumped into her, pinning her slightly in the corner, pressing the close button faster than her.
Well, he pressed it, but didn’t move back, maintaining that embarrassing distance, with his pelvic area subtly pressing against her back.
Gu Qimiao could not believe that this lewd behavior came from the usually elegant and abstinent Shen Yanchen!
She turned back to glare at him, only to find his gaze slightly lifted, calmly watching the elevator numbers rise.
Was she overthinking it? Frowning, she moved forward slightly. Unexpectedly, he followed closely, nearly causing her to swear out loud.
Seeing the elderly lady inside, she didn’t want to make a scene, lest the lady thought today’s young people were shameless.
The elderly lady’s floor was ten, so she got off earlier.
Once the door closed, Gu Qimiao stepped out from his corner, standing in the opposite corner, glaring at him.
He looked confused and asked, "What? Why are you glaring at me?"
"You know why!"
Shen Yanchen raised an eyebrow slightly, "Know what? Tell me."
Gu Qimiao turned away, ignoring him. Before they were together, she often thought that given his cold demeanor, she would need to take the initiative in matters of intimacy.
But now she realized she had overthought it. No matter how proper a man seemed on the surface, behind the scenes, they were all insatiable wolves!
