Chapter 273 - 251: Imitation Game
Gu Qimiao glanced at him, having showered and dressed in a nightgown with nothing underneath. She said defiantly, "Okay, you win this round. Now it’s my turn."With that, she lifted one of her feet and bent down to bite her own toe. Shen Yanchen couldn’t help but chuckle at her action, "Is it tasty?"
Gu Qimiao put down her foot and looked at him, her face full of amusement, "Hurry and imitate me!"
He said indifferently, "You win."
She immediately smiled triumphantly, and Shen Yanchen couldn’t help but keep smiling, thinking her earlier actions were adorable.
As she reveled in her victory, she watched him stand up and begin to unbuckle his belt. Under her stunned gaze, he removed his trousers, boldly displaying his physique in front of her, "Your turn."
Gu Qimiao froze; she was wearing a dress, and if she took it off, she’d be completely exposed...
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she smiled slyly. Underwear is still considered pants, right? Wearing a dress, she could remove her underwear without him seeing anything. Elated, she took off her panties under her dress and smiled at him, "I win..."
But before she could finish her sentence, he pounced on her, grabbed her hands, and pinned them above her head, looking down at her with a voice filled with breathless desire, "Taking off your panties in front of a man?"
Gu Qimiao frowned with displeasure and insisted, "I won! You have to listen to me!"
"Do you know what this means to a man?"
She looked at him with wide, discontented, and confused eyes.
He breathed a little more heavily, saying two words, "Losing control." Then he pressed down on her...
Gu Qimiao pushed him in a hurry, accusing, "You’re cheating! I won, you should listen to me..."
But he still devoured her fully. After he was sated, he held her petulant self, coaxing, "Want me to try on those clothes for you now?"
She turned her back to him in a huff, "Hmph, forget it if you won’t try them on, I’ll throw everything out tomorrow. It’s all bought with your money anyway, and I won’t buy you any more clothes!"
"Where are the clothes I bought for you last time?"
Thinking of this, Gu Qimiao got angry, "How dare you mention that! You made me wear such clothes, and you refuse to try on clothes for me."
"I’m willing, how could I not be? I’ll wear them for you tomorrow morning."
Every time, after bullying her, he would always say sweet words to coax her.
"I have to travel for work tomorrow afternoon," he finally said seriously.
Gu Qimiao stopped sulking and turned to him, asking, "How long will you be gone?"
"A week, but it depends. If you miss me, I can come back in two or three days."
"Who would miss you? With you gone, I’ll have some peace!" Though she didn’t want to be apart from him, she knew it was his work, and she couldn’t be so unreasonable.
Shen Yanchen pinched her nose, "We’ll see if you’re still being stubborn then."
Gu Qimiao turned around to hug him, her face snuggling into his arm, finding a comfortable position and planning to sleep. Unexpectedly, he said, "Once more? Otherwise, we’ll have to wait a week."
Gu Qimiao: "..."
He didn’t give her a chance to refuse, as though he was discussing, yet already began to take action.
Early the next morning, Shen Yanchen awoke in high spirits, looking at her sprawled sleeping form. He tousled her hair, tucked her in, and got up to make breakfast.
Just then, his phone rang, "Grandma, what’s up?"
"Could you bring your wife over for dinner today? Your mom specifically prepared some dishes."
"I can’t today. I have to travel this afternoon. We can plan for when I return."
"You’re traveling, but what about your wife? She can’t come alone? Is she not able to move without you like a child?"
"It’s not a bother, but she isn’t coming with me. We’ll arrange another time."
Grandma said, "She has plenty of time. Can’t she come by herself? We’re not going to eat her, are we?"
"You’re already talking like this before she even arrives. How could I dare to bring her over?"
Grandma softened her tone. After all, he was her precious grandson, "Your mom means well, wanting to nourish her a bit. Make some time to bring her over."
Shen Yanchen nodded, "Alright."
After all, they were family now. This might be an opportunity for her to gradually integrate into the family. Every time they went together, she would stick to his side.
When Gu Qimiao woke up naturally, it was already time for lunch. As she opened her eyes, she saw him packing his suitcase.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Are you leaving?"
"Awake? Get up quickly and have lunch. I’ll take you to the family home after we eat."
"Go back? Aren’t you traveling?"
"Yes, can you manage alone?"
Gu Qimiao was startled, "Alone? Can’t I wait for you to go back together? I’m a little scared to go alone..."
Shen Yanchen smiled, walked over, and held her hand, "What’s there to be afraid of? They wouldn’t eat you. Now you’re my wife, you have to try to fit in. Grandma just has a stern face but she actually cares about you. She specifically asked you over to nourish you."
Gu Qimiao thought for a while, and agreed, "Okay..."
He was right. She would have to adapt to this family sooner or later. If she visited often and got familiar with Grandma, spending more time with her, maybe her view would change.
Since he had to rush to the airport, they left right after lunch. He first took her to the family home, stayed with her for a while, then left.
Gu Qimiao accompanied him to the door, reluctant to part. Shen Yanchen lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "If you get used to being here, you can wait for me to come back."
"Okay."
"Go inside, I’m leaving."
Gu Qimiao pouted silently, standing there, watching him get into the car. Shen Yanchen rolled down the window and looked at her. Before he could say goodbye, the woman who had said she wouldn’t miss him last night ran to his window, bent down, and kissed his cheek, "Come back soon."
Shen Yanchen smiled, "Okay."
Grandma came out of the house, reminding him, "Drive safely."
Shen Yanchen nodded and drove away.
After his car disappeared from sight, Gu Qimiao turned to look at the older woman carefully, "Grandma, I brought some cakes, would you like to try them?"
Grandma gave her a sidelong glance and turned to go inside. Just as Gu Qimiao felt disappointed, she heard Grandma say, "Come in. Aren’t you cold standing outside in the wind?"
Brightening up, Gu Qimiao quickly followed with a smile, supporting Grandma, who didn’t refuse as they walked inside together.
Shen’s mother was enthusiastic, always showing a fondness for Gu Qimiao.
The house wasn’t as lively as during holidays, but every visit, she would see Liang Zixuan, and this time was no exception.
