“Because you are suitable.”
After a moment of silence, Chu Yi Chen said slowly. This made Gu Xiao Xiao’s anxious heart fall back to the ground.
“Gu Xiao Xiao, I wouldn’t joke around with my own marriage. I believe you are the same.” Hugging onto Gu Xiao Xiao, Chu Yi Chen lowered his head slowly and then gently kissed her soft and pink lips.
His kiss had a shapeless force with it, it held Gu Xiao Xiao down and disallowed her to move. She leaned into Chu Yi Chen’s chest in a daze and indulged in his gentle force. Only until he slowly raised his head, stared into her eyes at a short distance with smiles in his eyes, did Gu Xiao Xiao regain her consciousness. She turned her head and avoided her gaze.
“You…” Gu Xiao Xiao lowered her head and asked, worried, “Would your family like me?”
“Of course.” Chu Yi Chen loosened his grip on her. In the same movement, he pinched her cheeks, “Chu Xiao Xi is not an issue. As for my parents…”
Thinking about those two, Chu Yi Chen smiled helplessly. Not long ago, they came to find Chu Xiao Xi, tasking her a “difficult” mission, which is to find Chu Yi Chen a reliable girlfriend. According to Chu Xiao Xi, the condition they asked for was that his partner would have to be a woman. It looks like his single state has flustered them.
“They would like you as well for sure.” After giving Gu Xiao Xiao an answer that soothed her, Chu Yi Chen started to walk away, “Don’t you still have work to do?”
Chu Yi Chen’s reminder reminded Gu Xiao Xiao of the face of her bald-headed boss. She inhaled deeply and followed Chu Yi Chen into his study. They then each occupied themselves with their own work.
Gu Xiao Xiao was concentrating hard as she worked. Between switching postures, she would stretch a little, completely unaware of how relaxed she was before Chu Yi Chen. A few hours passed. When Gu Xiao Xiao finished up her work, the clock indicated it was 12:30 am.
Chu Yi Chen finished up his last email and dragged Gu Xiao Xiao back to the bedroom. He hugged her body and after much struggles from Gu Xiao Xiao, he warned her in a husky voice, “You are pouring oil into the fire.”
Gu Xiao Xiao was too scared to move after hearing what he had to say. She slept without moving and this sleep of hers was a lot more comfortable than she imagined.
In the morning, Gu Xiao Xiao’s biological clock woke her up on time. She opened her eyes and saw the man lying beside her. Her heart tensed up before slowly relaxing.
Seriously studying Chu Yi Chen’s brows and eyes, Gu Xiao Xiao subconsciously extended her hand towards him. Her index finger drew down from the middle of his brows and went past his high nose bridge before finally landing near his cold lips.
She… was married.
Gu Xiao Xiao sighed a long sigh as if wanting to extract all the unhappiness she felt from before.
“I know I am good looking. But Gu Xiao Xiao, I cannot take you staring at me like that.”
While Gu Xiao Xiao was still organizing her thoughts and emotions, Chu Yi Chen grabbed onto her finger. Then, his lazy voice arose beside her ear.
Gu Xiao Xiao jumped, realizing a little too late that Chu Yi Chen had woken up as well. Embarrassed, she bit her bottom lip and retracted her hand. She asked, “The fact that we are married, can you let me find the opportunity to tell Chu Xiao Xi myself?”
“Sure.” Chu Yi Chen agreed without hesitation, “As long as it’s not about a divorce, you can ask for anything.”
