"You two ill-fated lovers. He's back, and you're leaving again. And a prearranged engagement on top of it all, such trials and tribulations. I wish you the best in confessing your feelings," Ye Wan teased with a smile.
When Gu Yunting pushed the door open, he saw the faint smile on her face, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Wuwuwu, I'll take your good wishes, Wan. But I'm still so scared. I'm such a coward. I'm afraid Senior Chu won't accept me. Will you accompany me when I confess then? Please!" Jiang Yan pleaded.
"I don't think that's a good idea," Ye Wan felt her face brought her convenience, but also a lot of trouble. She didn't want to lose Jiang Yan as a friend.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Don't worry. If Senior Chu falls in love with you at first sight, then I... I'll give him up! Someone so shallow, I don't want him!" Jiang Yan didn't want to be like Jiang Lingyu, so consumed by love.
"No, I mean it would be better to see each other after your confession is successful," Ye Wan said, turning over. She saw the man standing at the door, her smile immediately vanished, and she said, "I have something going on here. Let's talk when we meet."
Ye Wan quickly hung up the phone and sat up nervously, blinking. "Is something wrong?"
"Can't I come in for a look if there's nothing wrong? Don't forget, this is the Gu residence," Gu Yunting walked in, his expression somewhat displeased.
She was all smiles when talking to her friend on the phone, but seeing him, she acted as if she had seen a monster. Was he that terrifying?
"Oh," Ye Wan replied indifferently, then lay back down to continue reading. Since he had said that, what else could she say?
Gu Yunting...
He walked over, pulled the book from Ye Wan's hand, and tossed it aside. Then, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Wan quickly pushed him away. "I... my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
"If you're good, I'll be gentle," Gu Yunting soothed, gently kissing her eyelashes, her brow, the tip of her nose, and then her somewhat dry lips.
Ye Wan truly didn't know how to be "good." She could only clutch his clothes and close her eyes.
...
Gu Yunting carried Ye Wan to the dining room. The effort had been quite taxing. Ye Wan was indeed 'very good,' lying limply on his shoulder, allowing him to hold her. She was utterly exhausted, lacking any strength, not even wanting to move her fingers.
Moreover, this scoundrel had said "gentle," but he was only gentle at first, keeping his word. Later on, he was far from gentle.
"Are you feeling unwell again?" Gu Yunting frowned, looking at the weak woman in his arms, perplexed. Why was she always in so much pain?
He had seen some things with Jin Lan's guidance, and a woman's reaction wasn't supposed to be like this.
Ye Wan let out a weak hum, completely unwilling to engage with him.
"Why are you so delicate?"
Ye Wan was so angry she wanted to hit him, but she truly had no strength. She closed her eyes and ignored him. When she couldn't get a ride, she could walk for four or five hours to get back. She didn't think she was delicate.
"Let's eat first," Gu Yunting brought over a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to Ye Wan's lips.
"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat," Ye Wan felt incredibly awkward. But she genuinely had no strength to eat right now; her bones felt like jelly.
"If you don't eat, I don't mind feeding you in a different way." Gu Yunting was about to put the spoonful into his own mouth. Ye Wan, realizing how he intended to feed her, quickly bit down on the spoon and ate the porridge herself.
