force a smile, "I'm fine, I'm just...just that the wedding date is approaching, so I'm a little scared."Lin Xiaoru's words suddenly reminded Gu Chi that next month was the day he and Lin Xiaoru had s...“No!”

Su Kexin suddenly screamed and pushed Gu Chi away.

Gu Chi didn't expect Su Ke Xin to suddenly be so resistant. He was pushed off guard and took a few steps back.

In surprise, she looked up and saw Su Ke Xin's flushed face. Her eyes, brimming with tears, held a hint of fear.

Suddenly, Gu Chi only felt a bucket of cold water poured over his head, and the heat all over his body cooled down.

Su Keqin soon realized that her actions were excessive, a flush of guilt crossing her face. She cautiously approached Gu Chi, "I'm sorry... I just for a moment... Thought about what happened two years ago..."

Two years ago, for Su Ke Xin, it was the most terrifying nightmare.

It wasn't just because she lost her most precious thing overnight. It was also because that night ruined her reputation.

For a long time afterward, she couldn't even get close to men, and even shaking hands would terrify her.

Now she has recovered a lot, and she even thought she could accept Gu Chi.

She didn't want to, she really didn't want to reach that edge, but her body instinctively rebelled!

Looking at Gu Chi gradually returning to his cold gaze, Su Kexin couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt.

Gu Chi must think he's playing me, right He's already married and promised, yet at the last minute, he rejects me like this.

No man could bear to be rejected like that, right

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and cautiously approached Gu Chi. She reached out and encircled his neck, taking the initiative to kiss him, wanting to rekindle Gu Chi's passion.

Ke Guzhi suddenly scooped her up and put her on the bed.

Su Ke Xin thought Gu Chi was going to continue, so she quickly tensed her body, preparing to make sure her body wouldn't push Gu Chi away again like last time.

He didn't want her to wait for so long, Gu Chi didn't do anything instead, he picked up the blanket next to him and covered Su Kexin's body.

Su Kexin was taken aback, "Gu Chi, are you angry"

Gu Chi sat beside the bed, leaning sideways and looking down at Su Ke Xin with a calm gaze. "No."

"Why then..."

"Why don't I continue" Gu Chi whispered, his long fingers tracing Su Ke Xin's cheek, soft and suggestive. "Because I hope you will enjoy it too, instead of enduring it for me."

He doesn't deny that he has a reaction to Su Kexin's body. To be precise, he reacts very strongly to it.

If he didn't care about Su Keqin, perhaps he would have just continued directly because for a man, enduring this kind of pain is actually very difficult.

But he cared about Su Ke Xin.

Because she cared, she didn't want their first time to become a dark memory for Su Kexin.

So, what's the difference between him and the man from two years ago

Su Ke Xin didn't expect Gu Chi to say that. In an instant, she only felt a place in her heart being touched.

Men and women are different. For a woman, caring for someone means being willing to give herself. For a man, caring for someone means being able to endure for her.

Her eyes flickered, she huddled in the soft bedding, her tense body finally relaxed, "Gu Chi, thank you."

Gu Zhi chuckled softly, stood up, and walked to the chair beside the table. He sat down, saying, “You’ll sleep in bed today.”

Su Ke Xin was taken aback, "And you Aren't you going to sleep"

"The bed is too small, and there's only one set of blankets. Forget it."

Su Kexin frowned, “The bed is small, but we can squeeze two people in. Just sleep with me.”

Gu Zhi suddenly looked at Su Ke Xin, his eyes unreadable, "Su Ke Xin, are you challenging my limits"

Su Kexin froze instantly.

Yes, she almost forgot that she had already teased Gu Chi to the extreme today, but in the end, she didn't get to eat him. Gu Chi probably felt very stifled right now, and she actually asked him to sleep with her...

She is really so careless.

Su Ke Xin now dared not speak much, she just obediently covered herself up tightly and lay down well.

……

On the other side, in the study, Old Master Gu paced back and forth anxiously.

Not until the left steward returned did he hasten over, "How are they How is it going with them"

"I've already entered the room, but to be precise, I don't know for sure." Lao Butler Zuo honestly replied, after all, he wouldn't dare eavesdrop on Gu Chi no matter what.

Mr. Gu nodded and sighed, "I just hope they can spare this old man some worry and let me hold another great-grandchild soon."

"Master, there is no need to worry too much." Left Butler said in a serious tone.

"By the way," Old Master Gu suddenly thought of something, his face turning cold again, "About that photo from today, have you found out anything"

At a banquet of this scale, someone suddenly playing such photos is unacceptable. Regardless of whether the other party's intention is to humiliate Gu's family or Su Kexin, it's beyond the pale.

Left Butler nodded, “I found out, it’s Young Master Sun's fiancée, Miss Lin Xiaoru.”

Mr. Gu, upon hearing this reply, was not at all surprised. He merely let out a cold laugh and said, “As I expected, I knew this girl wasn’t someone to be trifled with.”

The Left Butler said impassively: "It's probably because of Miss Su and Young Master Sun's university affairs."

Mr. Gu nodded and sighed, "It's a tragedy for our Gu family that my nephew and I both like the same woman. What a predicament we're in."

"But Miss Su is the only one who can move the Second Young Master's heart right now, so no matter what, Master will support you." Left Butler was Master Gu's confidant and clearly understood his thoughts.

"Not bad." Old Master Gu rubbed his temples wearily, "As for that girl surnamed Lin, you tell Ah Han about this."

"Would you not want to deal with her personally, Master"

"Hmph, a wild girl dares to ask me to take care of her personally" Old Master Gu sneered. "If Ah Han can't even manage his own woman, he doesn't deserve to be a member of the Gu family!"

“Yes, I understand.” Left Butler received the order and immediately left the study.

Mr. Gu walked to the bedside and looked at the moon outside. Suddenly, he thought of the smile on Gu Chi's face when he was dancing with Su Keixin in the dance floor before. The wrinkles on his face suddenly softened.

It's been so many years… I haven't seen Xiaochí smile like this in so long.

It seems that fate finally smiled upon Xiao Chi, allowing him to meet a woman who could make him laugh like this again.

Now, he only hopes that the two of them can bear fruit sooner.

While Old Master Gu was worrying down here, the atmosphere in the upstairs room had slowly cooled from its previous heat.

Gu Zhi sat in a chair, propping his head up with his hand, closing his eyes to rest.

Although it was already deep into the night, Su Keixin couldn't sleep at all. After a long silence, she cautiously spoke, "Gu Chi, I can't sleep. Let's talk."

Gu Zhi didn't open his eyes, he just faintly said: "What"

“That…” Su Kexin pondered for a moment, then spoke, “Why would your grandfather… know that the two of us haven’t… you know…”un Stone to refine three days' worth of pills.All of it had already been delivered directly into the old woman's own hands, placed inside an exquisite jade box, and then she put it beside her pillow.T...
