Upon hearing this, Gu Qichen’s brow furrowed even deeper.
His voice turned colder, “What did you call me?”
Xia Yangyang mumbled ambiguously as she rolled over, “Brother Haotian…”
A fury arose inexplicably within Gu Qichen.
Pinching Xia Yangyang’s cheeks, he said coolly, “Xia Yangyang, look at me properly. Who am I?”
To his surprise, Gu Qichen noticed that his fingertips were slightly damp and chilled.
Xia Yangyang was closing her eyes, but a tear slipped down her cheek.
This girl, she was actually crying.
Gu Qichen got up, brought a warm towel over, sat at the edge of the bed, and gently wiped away Xia Yangyang’s tears.
Though Xia Yangyang was waking up in a daze, the sensation felt like a dream, as if she was a child again, lying in her mother’s arms, sitting on a swing in the backyard, gazing at the stars in the sky.
She blinked open her eyes, and saw Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen was careful and gentle in his movements, as if he were cherishing a precious thing. It had been a long time since Xia Yangyang felt this cared for, especially by this man, her husband, her own kin.
Suddenly, Xia Yangyang sat up, wrapped her arms around Gu Qichen’s neck and kissed him.
It was the first time Xia Yangyang took the initiative. She would have never dared in usual circumstances.
But with a bit of alcohol clouding her mind, Xia Yangyang just wanted to be closer to this man.
Her hand even began to hesitantly wander lower, stirring him…
Gu Qichen’s first response was to freeze as he was taken aback – Xia Yangyang had never previously been so proactive or bold.
Right now, Xia Yangyang was looking at him with foggy eyes, her face pink and an alcoholic scent about her, she looked like an enchanting fairy tempting him.
Despite her clumsy attempts at seduction, Gu Qichen inexplicably found himself aroused.
He had to admit, that the Xia Yangyang in front of him right now was extremely tempting, but in the end, he grabbed her wandering hand, his voice cold yet noticeably huskier.
Gu Qichen asked, “Xia Yangyang, are you in heat?”
Upon hearing these words, it felt like Xia Yangyang had a bucket of ice water poured over her from head to toe.
Her lips left his, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
The expression on Gu Qichen’s face was one of coldness and disdain that Xia Yangyang had never seen before.
Gu Qichen had risen from the bed, saying, “I’m going to take a shower, you should try to sleep early.”
The sound ofrunning water echoed from the bathroom, Xia Yangyang was now completely sober.
She hid under the blanket with a pillow covering her face, but the tears just wouldn’t stop falling.
The disgust in Gu Qichen’s eyes had completely shattered her already weak self-esteem.
If Gu Qichen despised her, then why did he marry her, and why did he previously initiate intimacy with her so many times?
The man in the bathroom stood impatiently under the showerhead.
The cold water seemed unable to quench the burning desires in his heart.
He had almost lost control just then, but once he remembered that Xia Yangyang had mistaken him for Lu Haotian, his anger flared. The thought of Xia Yangyang seducing him while thinking of another man got him…
Gu Qichen harshly punched the marble wall of the shower.
Xia Yangyang was awake. She was acutely aware that Gu Qichen stayed in the bathroom for a long time.
Upon coming out, he went straight out of the bedroom and into the guest room.
Xia Yangyang’s heart sank.
The next day, it was the school opening ceremony.
Xia Yangyang woke up early.
After freshening up, she planned to head straight to school.
Just as she was passing the dining room, she heard a noise.
Unable to resist, she walked in, only to see Gu Qichen in the kitchen making breakfast..
