Her scalp was numb. Her body was cold and his palm was like a furnace. It burned the skin underneath her towel, and every inch of her skin was on fire.
Her heart was trembling, and there was a scary feeling. The corners of her eyes instinctively teared up with hot tears. “You stop there…”
Gu Zhishen heard her choking up. He froze and moved his head slightly backwards to get a clear look at her eyes, which were stained with tears. She looked extra pitiful, and he raised his eyebrows. “I still haven’t done anything, why are you crying?”
He didn’t like women who cried.
“You’re bullying me!” She breathed in through her nose, and she looked at him as if he’d committed a crime and was extremely evil.
“You’re saying that this is bullying?” He pondered for a brief moment and said, “That night, you bullied me. I’m merely bullying you back now! You’re not allowed to cry!”
“You’re just bullying me! You barged into my bathroom for no reason and did all of this for no reason. You’re bullying me, and you’re even not allowing me to cry. Why should I do that?” The more Yun Jianyue thought about it, the more her wronged feelings were rolling around in the tears inside her eyes, and they were bean sized as they fell down her face.
She’d really never met a person who did such overboard things to her!
Not only did he do such crazy things, he actually didn’t allow her to cry!
What kind of logic was that?
Gu Zhishen looked at the tears on her face, and his eyebrows were knitted up tightly. He swallowed; he really didn’t like women to cry because he never knew how to comfort them. There also weren’t many women who wept in front of him because they knew that by doing this, he’d be even more irritated.
And it had to be this small woman in front of him. It was as if she didn’t know. She wasn’t fearful at all and cried in front of him.
The words that reached his lips made a turn and scattered, and he didn’t say them because of the cleanness and clearness at the bottom of her eyes. Other women cried for them to play push and pull. They were fake and acting coy, but she was different. She really was afraid, so she cried.
This made him unable to bear to chide her so sternly.
He lowered his head to place his lips on her cheek. Yun Jianyue thought he was going to do something else, and her body shivered instinctively. She curled up, but she was facing him. The wall was behind her. She was like the cream in cream biscuits, and she had nowhere to hide.
Gu Zhishen didn’t bully her too much and only sucked the tears on her face gently.
This was the first time he’d eaten a woman’s tears, and there was a slight saltiness on the tip of his tongue.
It turned out that this was the taste of tears.
He kissed the tears on her face, and his lips were on her ears, as he coaxed her, “Be good. Go out and tell your parents that Su Xu isn’t your boyfriend and I am your husband!”
He didn’t bully her again, and Yun Jianyue stopped crying. She also wasn’t a girl who liked to cry. She only cried painfully inside the car after she’d been dumped by Su Xu. After that, no matter how horrible she felt, she controlled herself and didn’t cry.
At this moment, the fog in the bottom of her eyes disappeared. They reflected the elegant glow inside the bathroom. She raised her head to look at his side profile, which was so perfect it made others have a nosebleed. She muttered softly, “How could that be possible? I’d only do so if I wanted my parents to hit me to death!”
“Huh?” Gu Zhishen raised his eyebrows. Every time he brought up the topic of announcing their marital status, she always reacted this way!
Yun Jianyue looked at him carefully and explained. “My father’s heart’s bad. If I tell him about this suddenly, he won’t be able to take it. Give me some time. I’ll tell them about my breakup with Su Xu first and then slowly tell them about our matter.”
“How long?” Gu Zhishen looked into her eyes intensely. He felt that she was just dragging time.
Yun Jianyue stretched five fingers out and said, “Five months!”
“One month!” Half a year was such a long time. He was unable to wait so long.
“Three months!” Yun Jianyue didn’t give up and continued to bargain with him.
” Fifteen days!”
“Fine! One month, one month!” Yun Jianyue chose to be quick before he could say the words one week.
Who asked her to provoke a bastard she was unable to provoke at all?
Gu Zhishen’s eyes slightly squinted together. He took his fingers out from the bath towel and pinched her nose. “You’re not allowed to scold me in your heart!”
Yun Jianyue was surprised. It was so magical that she didn’t say a single word. He actually knew that she was scolding him inside her heart.
Oh my gosh!
Was he still human?
Her nose hurt after getting pinched. She stretched her hand out to relieve the pain as she said, “Thankfully, my nose is all natural and without any surgery. If not, with you pinching me like that, it would definitely be broken beyond repair!”
Gu Zhishen thought of something, and his gaze became intense. His tone was almost commanding as he said, “You’re my wife. Every part of your body belongs to me. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to move even a single fingernail!”
Of course, he also wouldn’t give her such a chance.
“Then how about dropping a strand of hair?” Yun Jianyue was like a child who was rebellious in her heart and purposely tried to go against him.
“Huh?” He raised his eyebrows, and expressions were warning her without needing to voice it.
Yun Jianyue pursed her lips and said, “Fine, I won’t move! A beautiful woman like me who is naturally beautiful doesn’t need to move.”
Gu Zhishen scanned her from head to toe and came to a conclusion, “Even if your own standards are so low, I’m also asking you to have some beauty standards.”
Actually, Yun Jianyue looked quite pretty. Her features were delicate and pretty. Her eyes were bright, and her teeth were straight. She had a sharp face. Her skin was fair white and smooth. She had long luscious dark hair, and she never wore makeup. She didn’t have the fake cover of heavy powder and colors. She looked plain and clean. She was like a sleeping lotus on the other end of the shore and made others comfortable as they looked at her.
But he didn’t compliment her. He liked to see her small tail wagging so much that it almost touched the skies. After he stomped on it, she looked like she was going to claw him, and she was extremely cute.
“You can insult me as a person, but you can never insult my beauty. No matter what, I’m still considered to be a quiet flower vase in the office….”
Everything was thanks to this huge tree Gu Zhishen, and it was because of him that she was so lucky!
Gu Zhishen hadn’t said anything yet when Chen Xiaoxiao’s voice rang out from outside the bathroom. “Jianyue, are you still bathing?”
Yun Jianyue was shocked. Her egg-shaped face was panicked. She looked at the empty bathroom to look for a place to hide, but after turning around, she realized that…this was her own bathroom. What was she hiding for?
If they had to hide, it was this huge tree uninvited who was supposed to hide!
“Quickly hide!” She was afraid Chen Xiaoxiao outside the door would hear, and Yun Jianyue lowered her voice.
Compared to Yun Jianyue, Gu Zhishen was calm and nonchalant as he asked instead, “Why do I need to hide?”
He, Gu Zhishen, when did he become someone who couldn’t be seen?
In other words, he was more than willing for Chen Xiaoxiao to push open the door and come inside to see him and Yun Jianyue, who wasn’t dressed properly, in the bathroom together. It would save him the trouble of thinking about how to let the Yun couple find out about this matter.
“Shh!” Yun Jianyue used one hand to tug her bath towel and used another hand to cover his lips. “Be a little softer. Don’t let my mother hear.”
“Jianyue…” Chen Xiaoxiao’s footsteps got closer and closer as she asked, “Are you inside the bathroom?”
“Ah…. Mommy… I’m bathing!” Yun Jianyue glared at Gu Zhishen and indicated to him to not let out a single sound.
“You’re not using water to bathe?” Chen Xiaoxiao sounded suspicious.
Yun Jianyue turned her head to the side and saw a figure by the glass doors of the bathroom. She was frightened and broke out into cold sweat. “I’m already done bathing. I’m wiping my body!”
“Oh!” Chen Xiaoxiao stood by the side of the bathroom door and had no intention to leave. “Jianyue, open the door. Mommy has something to ask you!”
The moment Yun Jianyue heard it, she was frightened and almost fell down on the floor. Thankfully, Gu Zhishen supported her.
Chen Xiaoxiao was about to push open the door and come inside. There were only two words in Yun Jianyue’s head: I’m dead.
