Weakly glancing at him, the words that ca out were broken and shattered into pieces, "Lust leads to ruin... You, you still have injuries on your body... Don’t you value your life?"
In the bright light, all her emotions had nowhere to hide, completely exposed under those deep black eyes.
It’s only May, why is it so hot already?
He didn’t need to say anything, just smiling at Wanxia, and she was the first to surrender.
Uneasily, she averted her gaze and withdrew her hand that was covering the man’s mouth.
Pulled up the quilt, wrapping herself tightly.
Gu Shaozhi looked at the back of her head poking out from the quilt, his voice becoming raspier, "Feeling angry out of sha?"
Wanxia didn’t reply.
If words don’t work, ignoring him should be fine.
Gu Shaozhi wasn’t in a hurry either, his lean body moved closer, and his long fingers slowly pulled her out from under the quilt.
He laughed softly, "Breathe for a while before continuing to be shy, otherwise, how would you handle being suffocated?"
"You’re so annoying!" Wanxia, exposed under the man’s gaze without a place to hide, bit him out of spite without thinking.
The quiet bedroom was filled with the muffled sound of the man groaning in pain.
Gu Shaozhi laughed instead of getting angry, leisurely licking his lips, his gaze seductive, voice low and husky, "Dare to bite ?"
"Who, who told you to be so annoying, deserving of a bite!" Wanxia looked around, avoiding his gaze, her words stumbling, "Didn’t... see I’m sleepy?"
"Sleep then, I won’t tease you any longer."
Wanxia was a little confused.

Little Pea always had endless energy, bouncing ho one mont and running to Wanxia’s place the next, sotis her crisp, lively laughter was heard before she was even seen.
After Mu Jin Huan and Nan Wan left for work, Pea spent most of her ti playing with her aunt.
Although Jiu Jiu was aloof, as long as he’s with his sister, he turned into a warm guy.
In the yard, there was a sycamore tree, and Gu Shaozhi personally made a swing for Pea. Being pushed back and forth by her brother made her incredibly happy.
Wanxia nestled in the man’s arms, leisurely watching the two children play.
"Wanwan."
"What?"
Gu Shaozhi held the woman’s soft hand, his gaze falling on Pea’s smiling little face, his black eyes showing no obvious emotion, "Was it very painful when you gave birth to An Ge?"
He couldn’t experience that pain, nor did he share any of it with her.
Upon hearing his words, the smile on Wanxia’s lips paused for a mont, but soon it returned to normal.
It was an extrely remote Jiangnan Town, and the dical environnt and conditions at the clinic were naturally poor.
She started having contractions from 7 a.m. until Pea was born at 3 a.m.
During that ti, she truly thought she might die of pain on that hospital bed.
Four years had passed, and thinking about it still felt painful all over.
But it was worth it. To obtain sothing beautiful, one had to give sothing. Compared to the angel that arrived, the pain was nothing.
Wanxia smiled faintly, her tone light, "Not really, it’s been so long, I almost don’t rember anymore."
The doctor’s words were still in her mind, she pretended to be relaxed and casual, Gu Shaozhi’s heart ached a little, "I’m sorry for leaving you alone."
Wanxia seed to sense his current emotion, lifting her head to kiss him beside his lips, she smiled and said, "Alright, I forgive you."
What’s already past, no matter how apologetic, cannot be undone.
What he wanted to give her was the present and the future.
"Shaozhi, let’s tell An Ge when she’s older, okay? She’s still too young and might not be able to handle it yet."
It was a consulting tone.
Gu Shaozhi had thought about it, but he knew he shouldn’t rush, "Hmm, I’ll listen to you."
Mom and Dad turned into Uncle and Aunt, while Aunt and Uncle beca Mom and Dad. At Pea’s age, it was indeed a difficult truth to accept.
Let’s wait a little longer.
Wait for the right ti to tell her, she’s a Gu by na.

Wanxia had said she would treat Jin Sinan to a al.
The contract was finalized, and Jin Sinan was in a good mood, accepting the invitation as soon as he got the call.
With Nan Wan and Mu Jin Huan, Wanxia also invited Xu Moyi and Huo Yihan, as she hadn’t had the chance to apologize for the wedding incident.
Xu Mo was supposed to go shopping with Huo Ran, but knowing that Wanxia would be leaving Qing City in a few days, he decisively ditched Huo Ran.
Was Huo Ran that forgiving person?
Of course not!
Xu Mo wondered if her eardrum was going to be shattered. After the call ended, she sidled up to Wanxia, embarrassed, "Sister Wan Xia, I stood soone up, she might co looking for to settle the score, can we set another place for her?"
Wanxia didn’t mind, "Sure, is she your friend?"
"She’s my grandmother."
Wanxia, "..."
Wasn’t Grandma Xu already... deceased?
Seeing Wanxia’s confused expression, Xu Moyi then rembered to explain, "It’s an ancestor of the Huo Family, still attending university, graduating in June, young but of high seniority. Whenever I upset her, she complains to Grandpa Huo Yihan, threatening to throw out of the family."
In the past, Xu Mo was the little rascal tornting others, now she was tornted by little rascals every day.
The saying ’what goes around cos around’ is truly spot on.
Other than Wanxia and Gu Shaozhi, everyone else knew Huo Ran, and her tagging along for a al wasn’t too awkward.
Turns out, Huo Ran got lost.
Until they finished lunch, she was nowhere to be seen.
Jin Sinan had a flight to catch. After finishing a cup of tea, he drove away.
Before leaving, he whistled at Wanxia in a roguish manner, though he was looking at Gu Shaozhi, the words were ant for Wanxia, "If he ever treats you poorly, the Jin Family’s household will welco you."
Gu Shaozhi’s calm black eyes remained unmoved, not even a frown, as if he didn’t take the guy seriously at all.
Onlooker Xu Mo gave a thumbs up in her heart.
Being gazed at by so many pairs of eyes, Wanxia felt a bit embarrassed.
Jin Sinan laughed heartily a couple of tis, waved goodbye, and started the car.
