Chen Xiaoxiao pushed open the bathroom door. Yun Jianyue was wrapped in the towel and gasping for breath while standing at the door. She frowned her delicate brows and complained, “Mommy, I’m bathing. How can you just come in like this?”
“Why can’t I enter when you’re bathing? I’m your mom and not someone else. I even saw your naked butt when you were young.”
As Chen Xiaoxiao spoke, her eyes gazed into the bathroom. It was empty, and there was no one else besides Yun Jianyue.
Yun Jianyue’s ears immediately turned red when she heard this. Mom! You need to know there’s a man here. You’re still saying such unreserved words!
“Mom, what exactly do you want to ask me?” Right now, it was better for her to make Chen Xiaoxiao go downstairs first. If she saw Gu Zhishen in her bathroom, she would really die very beautifully.
It was only at this moment that Chen Xiaoxiao regained her senses. She said indifferently, “I want to ask, have you seen Gu Zhishen? I searched around and couldn’t find him.”
“No! I’ve been in the bedroom all this while. How could I possibly have seen Gu Zhishen? Why don’t you go search somewhere else?” Yun Jianyue only wanted to make her leave quickly.
Chen Xiaoxiao hesitated, as if she was still thinking about something. Yun Jianyue’s heart was anxious like it was burning, but she wasn’t able to show it. “Mom, I want to change my clothes. You go out first!”
“Okay then!” Chen Xiaoxiao cast a glance at her helplessly, “Go downstairs soon. There’s still a guest downstairs.”
“I know. Quickly go and get busy with your things!” Yun Jianyue was all smiles as she sent her out.
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded, turned around, took two steps, and then turned her head to look at Yun Jianyue again. She couldn’t help but find something strange, but she couldn’t say what.
Yun Jianyue stood at the door and smiled at her as she walked out of the bedroom. Chen Xiaoxiao closed the door, and it was only now did Yun Jianyue close the bathroom door. She let out a long breath of comfort.
Gu Zhishen, who was standing sideways at the corner, just happened to sweep his gaze over at the sink. There was a set of clean clothes placed there. On the top was triangle-shaped underwear, showing a very cute, yellow pet. There was even a big red mole on each of its cheeks.
His fingers with distinctive bones were able to pull the underwear into his palm with just one hook. “What is this?”
Yun Jianyue saw he had her underwear in his hand, and her cheeks immediately exploded red. She walked over and wanted to snatch it over. “Give me back what is mine!”
Bastard!
Didn’t he know what shame was? He actually even grabbed her underwear and asked her what it was!
Gu Zhishen’s long arm moved up. It was too high for Yun Jianyue, even if she stood tiptoe. He lowered his head, and his deep and mysterious eyes gazed at her deeply. “Tell me first. What is this?”
“It is what it is!” Yun Jianyue was so anxious that even her forehead started sweating. She was red from her cheeks all the way to her neck. Her fair skin was dyed scarlet; it was exceptionally cute. “Can’t you see what it is?”
Underwear. How could she say such a private word right in front of him?
“I mean the picture!”
Picture?
Yun Jianyue realized what he was asking about. She lifted suspicious eyes and looked at him, asking, “Did you not have a childhood? You don’t even know Pikachu?”
“Pikachu?” Gu Zhishen said it once. His eyes took a few more looks at the underwear in his hand. This thing was called Pikachu?
“You’re not allowed to look!” Yun Jianyue anxiously covered his eyes again.
It was only after Gu Zhishen knew the name of the picture that he realized that she was embarrassed.
His thin lips ticked up; he smiled.
A twenty-four-year-old woman who actually still wore underwear with cartoons printed on them. How innocent was this?
He stopped teasing her and lowered his arm. With lightning speed, Yun Jianyue took back her underwear and put it behind her, “Quickly go out. Don’t let my mom see you!”
“Huh?” He looked disdainfully at her out of the corner of his eyes. Was she ordering him?
Yun Jianyue looked at him with pitiful eyes and pleaded, “Please, please!”
“Did you remember everything I said?” Gu Zhishen asked with his deep voice. Her age was still young, and he was afraid she had a bad memory.
Yun Jianyue was stunned. She remembered something as his black eyes gradually turned dark. She nodded like she was grinding garlic, “I’ll use the shortest time possible to look for a way to tell them Su Xu and I broke up…and then…say…say you’re my husband!”
The way she said the last sentence, especially, lacked confidence!
Gu Zhishen looked at her pink, tender, fresh, pure egg-shaped face. He knew she was young and lacked courage. From brother-in-law to husband, this span was a bit big and most people would find it hard to accept. She also wasn’t like Yun Siwan, who had a fiery temper and wasn’t afraid of the heavens or the earth. Perhaps he shouldn’t pressure her so tightly. However, he also couldn’t allow her to keep being an ostrich.
The marriage had already been had. He could only try his best to help her accept this reality.
His big figure took two steps in front of her. His black shadow completely shrouded her. Yun Jianyue held a towel with one hand and the underwear in the other. She looked at him alertly, “What are you…”
Before she finished speaking, Gu Zhishen leaned over and held her. Both his long arms hugged her with strength, not leaving any traces of a gap.
Yun Jianyue was stunned. She didn’t understand why he’d suddenly hugged her. Being hugged like this also gave her a sense of security.
His chest was sturdy and wide and very warm!
Gu Zhishen turned his head sideways and his lips moved closer, basically pushing up against her ear, “Ah, Jian, don’t be afraid. You’re my wife. No matter what happens, I’ll be there to shoulder you.”
The warm breath moved into her ear and traveled along her ear and reached her heart.
It was just a sentence, but it caused Yun Jianyue’s heart to become restless, and she couldn’t control it.
Gu Zhishen exerted strength to hug her for a while and then loosened. He turned around and left neatly.
The bathroom door wasn’t closed. Yun Jianyue’s gaze kept following the movement of his steep figure. Wide shoulders, sturdy waist and back, and he had big long legs like the oppas1 in Korean dramas. He had money and power. Besides having a slightly poisonous mouth and slightly bad temper, and being a bit domineering, he could actually be considered as a perfect man.
Such a man became her husband.
Yun Jianyue thought about it and couldn’t help but start biting her fingers. She was then unable to restrain her emotions and laughed.
Yun Jianyue finished changing her clothes and tidying her hair. When she went downstairs, Gu Zhishen was already sitting there with Yun Xiaotian and Su Xu, watching them play chess.
Everything looked quite normal. From the look of things, it didn’t arouse any suspicion!
Gu Zhishen saw her come down and intentionally swiped a gaze at her. His sharp eyebrows immediately tightened up.
Su Xu also saw Yun Jianyue. He momentarily couldn’t pull his gaze away from her body.
Yun Jianyue had changed into a white suspender skirt and matched it with a pink lace cardigan. The suspender skirt outlined her graceful figure. The lace cardigan faintly covered the sweet and fair skin on her shoulder. Added with her untied hair casually draped over her shoulder, it was fresh and refined, but it didn’t lose its sexiness.
Yun Xiaotian could feel two of the people’s focus was on his daughter’s body. He couldn’t help but cough lightly twice. “Yue Yue, go upstairs and change your clothes.”
“Why?” Yun Jianyue didn’t understand. She usually dressed like this when she was at home.
This was even bought by her dad when he went overseas for business. She and her older sister each had one. It was said to be cute when worn, but her older sister complained it was too childish and kept it in the closet all this while, not wearing it. She still quite liked it. That’s why she would take it out to wear often.
“Be good and listen. Go and change your clothes!” The expression Yun Xiaotian used to look at her was filled with love.
“Oh, okay!” Although Yun Jianyue didn’t know why, she was still very obedient and went upstairs to change her clothes.
Yun Xiaotian’s gaze turned to Su Xu first. Su Xu saw Yun Jianyue go back upstairs to change her clothes, and there was a trace of disappointment underneath his eyes that was hard to conceal. When Yun Xiaotian’s gaze turned to Gu Zhishen, their gaze met, and it was like a kind of natural tacit understanding that was self-evident.
The expression Gu Zhishen used to look at Yun Xiaotian was as if saying, Mr. Father-in-law, beautifully done!
His little wife was such a beautiful scenery, how could he show her to outsiders!
