If that was the case, she could only rely on kissing to recover her taste buds.
Qiao Xi looked at the calm water surface. It was already midnight.
Not only did she not succeed, but she also proved that Gu Zheng had an underlying disease.
After thinking about it, she realized that all her efforts had been in vain. Hence, she turned red with anger.
Gu Zheng went out of the pool and turned around to say gently, âLetâs go. We should rest.â
Qiao Xi smiled lightly and pretended to be gentle.
[Bastard, just you wait!]
The corners of Gu Zhengâs mouth twitched.
After the two of them were done washing up, she returned to the villa and went straight into Gu Zhengâs room.
Gu Zheng was stunned. âYouâre sleeping here?â
Qiao Xi frowned and sighed. âAh Zheng, donât be sad. I wonât look down on you.â
Gu Zheng looked confused, not understanding what she meant. Then, he heard her say earnestly, âIf I donât accompany you, how are you going to survive this painful and long night alone?â
Why would it be painful?
Qiao Xi continued, âThe world says that youâre cold, but you were willing to swim with me and even gave me a giftâ¦â
Gu Zheng frowned.
Qiao Xi was slightly sad. âI know that you have me in your heart. Otherwise, why would you be so good to me? Itâs just that⦠A beauty like me is standing in front of you, yet you canât do anything. I understand the pain in your heart.â
Gu Zheng seemed to understand something.
Qiao Xiâs tone was helpless. âMen wonât tell others about their hidden illness, much less let their partners know about it. But itâs fine, I wonât despise you. Since Iâve married you, Iâll accompany you. We wonât do anything tonight. Weâll just hug each other and sleep.
âThatâs why Iâve decided not to leave tonight. Iâll be by your side. Donât be sad!â
Gu Zheng: ââ¦â
Qiao Xi started giving a long speech. âSenior, weâve shared a relationship for ten years, so I wonât mind. Even if you canât do that forever, I wonât mind.
âI like you, so it doesnât matter whether you can do that or not. Donât feel inferior. Besides, medical technology is so advanced nowadays. Youâll definitely be able to recover. I can also treat you. Donât be afraid of treatment. This isnât a big problem.
âIf it really canât be cured, youâll still be handsome, rich, and better than other men.â
Gu Zhengâs expression was gloomy like ink. âQiao Xi!â
Qiao Xi quickly rushed into the bed. âCome on, Senior! Come into my arms. Donât be afraid!â
Gu Zheng: ââ¦â
This woman was definitely doing this on purpose!
Qiao Xi ignored the man standing by the bed. She fell asleep not long after closing her eyes.
The lights in the room were dim, and there was only a weak ray of light. The scattered ray of light was better than nothing to Gu Zheng.
His vision was gray, and he could only rely on his memory to move closer to the bed. He stroked her face gently before kissing her soft lips.
Mrs. Gu was too naughty today and he almost could not control himself.
He was lying on the bed when his phone rang. Gu Zheng unlocked his phone and heard Gu Yaoâs voice.
âGu Zheng, someone from the Lu family⦠came to the Gu familyâs old mansion because of the heir.â
â¦
Late at night, the lights were still switched on in the Gu familyâs old residence.
Gu Yao was awakened by the noise downstairs. When he came out, he saw that the Lu family had arrived.
He was about to leave when someone stopped him. âAre you Gu Yao?â
Gu Yao was stunned. The person in front of him looked a little familiar.
Madam Gu hurriedly introduced them. âAh Yao, quickly come and greet him. This is Lu Yan.â
Lu Yan?
Gu Yao reacted for a while. Lu Yan was the adopted son of the Lu family?
Rumor had it that Lu Yan was Lu Qingyunâs biological son and was also a descendant of the Gu family.
Madam Gu greeted him warmly. âLu Yan, what would you like to drink? Iâll go prepare it now.â
Lu Yan gently replied, âItâs fine, no need to trouble yourself.â
Gu Yao: ââ¦â
Why did this scene feel a little wrong? The mistress seemed to be quite enthusiastic about the first wifeâs son?
It was as though Lu Yan was her child while Gu Zheng was Lu Qingyunâs child.
Chairman Gu, Gu Weiming, was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Madam Gu and Huang Lilan beside him.
