Chapter 131 You are my happiness
Lu Xiran felt she had been deceived.
I was completely fooled.
She had planned it all out perfectly—to seduce him, to catch him off guard, and to make him open the master bedroom door himself.
What a perfect plan!
The results of it?
On the first night, she had just snuggled against his lap in the study, before she could even use her charms, when he suddenly picked her up. She didn't even realize what was happening the whole way from the study to the guest bedroom.
By the time she came to her senses, he had already pinned her to the bed.
He held her in his arms all night.
It was so tight she couldn't move.
Forget about sneaking out to find the keys, she could barely even turn over in bed.
The next day, she learned her lesson.
We can't confront them head-on; we have to outsmart them.
He was still working overtime in his study that night, so she sneaked to the entrance and reached out to touch his coat hanging on the hanger.
The fingertips just touched the hem of the clothes—
A hand reached out from behind and wrapped around her waist.
The next second, she was lifted into the air.
It's the second bedroom again.
It was that damned embrace again.
It was another suffocatingly tense night.
Lu Xiran lay in his arms, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, her teeth itching with anger.
Does he have eyes in the back of his head?
She clearly saw him still in the study!
How did he know she was up?
How did I know she was going to touch her clothes?
She turned her head to look at the sleeping face so close to hers—eyelashes cast faint shadows under the eyes, and the breathing was so even that it seemed as if the person was truly asleep.
Installed.
It must be an act.
asshole.
He's still a smart bastard.
On the third day, Lu Xiran decided to adjust her strategy.
What about during the day? There's always a chance during the day, right?
She could sneak back while he was at work. It's not like she didn't have the password, or that she didn't know the way.
result--
The project team has been incredibly busy these past few days. The Ruijing project has entered a critical phase, with daily meetings, drawing revisions, and coordination; she even leaves work later than him.
When she dragged her tired body back to the house, he was already home.
I sat on the sofa and looked at the documents.
Lu Xiran stared at the leisurely man, and a nameless anger suddenly rose up.
She threw her bag aside, took off her shoes, and walked straight over.
Then—I plopped down on his lap.
Gu Yanshen's hand trembled slightly.
He looked down at her.
She was looking up, her eyes wide open, her lips slightly pouting, with an expression that said, "I'm angry, come and coax me."
He couldn't help but smile.
He casually put his arm around her waist.
"What is it now, my little princess?"
That tone of voice was so sweet it could make you sick of it.
Lu Xiran snorted.
"You won't let the princess live in the castle."
Gu Yanshen was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled helplessly.
"slowly……"
"I won't listen." She turned her face away. "If you don't open the door for me today, I'm not coming down."
"Um."
"Then I stopped eating."
"..."
"My stomach hurts so much."
She clutched her stomach, her brow furrowed, and her expression was one of genuine pain.
Gu Yanshen's gaze fell on the hand that was clutching his stomach.
He knew she was faking it.
He could see right through her acting skills.
But he was still nervous.
"What's wrong?" He put down the documents, placed his hand over hers, and asked, "Does it really hurt?"
Lu Xiran turned her face even further away.
"I won't eat. I won't drink. I'd rather starve to death."
Gu Yanshen looked at her.
Looking at that face that was clearly acting yet stubbornly adorable, looking at that person who was clearly spoiled by him yet still acting spoiled.
He suddenly felt very helpless.
It's also very sweet.
His weakness has always been her.
It hasn't changed at all, not even three years ago.
He didn't say anything more.
He picked her up and carried her to the kitchen.
Lu Xiran was stunned for a moment.
What are you doing?
"Eat." He placed her on a chair at the dining table. "Didn't you have a stomachache? Something warm will make you feel better."
Lu Xiran: "..."
She watched him walk into the kitchen, tie on the apron she had bought, open the refrigerator, and start taking out the ingredients.
The movements were clumsy.
But it's very cute.
She suddenly felt a little dazed.
Gu Yanshen turned around and saw her staring blankly at him.
"Wait."
He said.
Then they went back to preparing the ingredients.
Lu Xiran stared at his back.
She stared at his movements as he chopped vegetables, at the way he tied his apron, and at the gentle look in his eyes when he occasionally glanced back at her.
She suddenly felt like crying.
This man clearly loves her so much.
He always gave in to her.
He was nervous even though she was faking illness.
But he just wouldn't open that door.
Why?
She stood up and walked over.
Hug him from behind.
Her face was pressed against his back.
Gu Yanshen paused for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"I won't eat." Her voice was muffled. "If you don't open the door, I won't eat."
Gu Yanshen remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he put down the knife and turned around.
Look at her.
There was something in those eyes that she couldn't understand.
"slowly."
"Um?"
He opened his mouth.
What do you want to say?
In the end, he just sighed.
Lu Xiran raised her head and looked into his eyes.
In that instant, she saw a fleeting hesitation in his eyes.
It's very light.
soon.
But she caught him.
A thought struck her.
There is a play.
She stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Uncle."
Her voice softened, becoming as soft as if she were pleading.
Gu Yanshen looked at her.
Looking at that face so close to mine.
He knew she was acting.
I knew she was faking illness.
I knew she was deliberately being dishonest.
But he had no choice.
He just couldn't do anything about her.
"Ranran," his voice lowered, almost pleading, "didn't you say..."
"Are you really willing to let me be your lover?"
Lu Xiran interrupted him.
She looked at him and asked seriously.
Those eyes were bright; they held light, he, and a hint of hurt.
"Can you really fall in love with someone else?"
Gu Yanshen was speechless.
"Uncle."
She hugged his neck tightly.
She buried her face in the crook of his neck.
The voice was muffled, yet each word was clear and distinct.
"I love you."
I only love you.
I will love only you until I die.
Gu Yanshen's Adam's apple bobbed violently.
"If you think pushing me away would make you happier—"
She looked up at him.
Her eyes were a little red.
But his eyes were very determined.
"I'll tell you."
"You are my happiness."
"I can't fall in love with anyone, and I can't accept anyone."
Gu Yanshen kissed her again.
The kiss was deep, carrying a sense of relief that everything had settled, but also a hint of resignation in his final surrender. His hands gripped the back of her neck, pulling her closer into his embrace.
Lu Xiran was breathless from his kiss.
But she didn't want to hide.
She hugged his neck tightly in response.
I don't know how much time passed.
He finally let go of her.
His forehead pressed against hers, their breaths mingling.
"slowly."
His voice was terribly hoarse.
"Um?"
She opened her eyes and looked at him.
Those eyes were so close, as deep as the sea. There was something in them she couldn't understand—like someone had finally made a decision, or perhaps they were afraid of something.
Gu Yanshen reached into his pocket and took out the key.
Cold. Small.
His fingertips lingered on the key for a second.
He looked at Lu Xiran. She was looking up at him, her eyes bright, filled with expectation, cunning, and a hint of smugness, as if to say, "I finally caught you."
Does he really want to give it to her?
