Chapter 257: Terminal Illness
"A Yao."
She really didn’t want to be lectured in bed again.
Doing that too much is really, really exhausting, okay!
Yet to Bai Chenyao, that pervert, he seemed as if nothing was wrong and even looked... refreshed.
When Gu Tiantian got to Bai Chenyao’s side, Bai Chenyao withdrew his gaze and didn’t say a word about her suddenly linking her arm with his.
As if... he consented.
Following Bai Chenyao out of the bedroom, down the stairs, the two of them reached the dining room on the first floor.
Outside, the city lights just came on, and the garden lights made the whole villa seem especially tranquil and spacious.
Regarding Bai Chenyao holding her while eating, she had given up trying to change it.
This terminal illness couldn’t be cured unless one left.
While eating, Gu Tiantian was exceptionally careful.
There was no other choice, since her lips were bitten and swollen by the perverted Bai Chenyao, and the slight swell was painful when it touched salt, making her frown.
Bai Chenyao acted like he didn’t notice her discomfort, feeding her just as he usually did.
So, this meal was eaten very cautiously by Gu Tiantian, and naturally, it took longer than usual.
After dinner, unexpectedly, Bai Chenyao didn’t enter the study or drag her back to the bedroom, but instead, holding her hand, they walked out the door to stroll on the lawn outside.
In this solitary villa, they had hardly ever seen any neighbors.
Bai Chenyao’s intentions were unknown, so Gu Tiantian obediently followed him out, wandering aimlessly.
Uh-huh!
It was called: a walk, for digestion!
Damn it, it felt like a little life of a master and his pet dog taking a post-dinner walk!
Gu Tiantian was struck by the thought, yet she couldn’t refuse to accept the current situation.
Looking at Bai Chenyao, who wore a stern expression, after walking who knows how long, Gu Tiantian tried to communicate with him.
She had already given up, but since she could still fight for a bit more benefits for herself, she would try hard to do so.
Maybe because she occasionally peeked at Bai Chenyao from the corner of her eye, she was caught even before she opened her mouth.
"I allow you to look openly!"
Damn it!
Listen to that domineering, disdainful tone from above!
Damn it, what does ’allow’ even mean!
Yet she didn’t dare to react, instead feeling the awkward embarrassment of being caught peeping.
Bai Chenyao didn’t seem to care much about her expression changing, looking at her with indifference, his voice cold.
"What do you want to say?"
In the past, Bai Chenyao might have just ignored it.
But today he actually took the initiative to ask, wasn’t that the reason she peeked anyway, so she had to seize the golden opportunity.
Carefully considering, Gu Tiantian spoke softly.
"Thank you for standing up for me."
She couldn’t ask for what she wanted right away, it was better to compliment first.
She had to move him emotionally, reason with him, for things to go smoothly.
Bai Chenyao suddenly stopped, his handsome, cold face with those unfathomable dark eyes, intensely focused on her.
Being stared at like that by Bai Chenyao, Gu Tiantian was slightly stunned.
The words she had prepared, she no longer dared to say.
It seemed... Bai Chenyao wasn’t very pleased.
Gu Tiantian couldn’t understand why, she was sincerely thanking Bai Chenyao for standing up for her, even though avenging herself felt more satisfying, Bai Chenyao’s efforts couldn’t be ignored either.
What exactly was wrong?
Her bright, puzzled eyes were filled with confusion as she racked her brains thinking, but couldn’t figure out the reason.
But being stared at by Bai Chenyao like that, especially when he said nothing, made Gu Tiantian gradually uncomfortable.
