Chapter 404: Demand
Sohow, a heavy rain had started outside.
The distant rumble of thunder veiled the air’s rapid breaths.
Occasionally, lightning tore through the night, and in the brief flash of blue light, I could only make out his blurred silhouette.
I didn’t know.
Whether this was simply a hallucination from my drunkenness.
Or a dream I was having in deep sleep.
I didn’t care!!
All I knew was that the person in my arms was the man I’d been longing for day and night.
Each mont I tangled with him was the deepest desire in my heart.
I let go of all my defenses and sank into the extre pleasure he brought .
After the thunder, a torrential rain followed.
The window was left open, and the damp rain floated in, making feel completely wet…
The man was like a warhorse in the throes of the bed.
The thunder was like war drums!
He led in charge after charge.
Assault and capture!
I arched my back, my slender fingers scratching long bloody trails across his sturdy back, like a kitten.
I don’t know how much ti passed, but eventually, the thunder outside began to subside.
He pressed into the corner, unwilling to let go.
And I, too, lay exhausted in his arms, like a little wild cat, curling up my claws, letting down all my defenses, docilely and comfortably nestling in his embrace to enjoy that mont of tranquility.
His rough palm gently stroked my slightly damp hair, kissing my skin.
“Ayun!”
Every ti he called my na, a sweetness swelled in my heart.
“Gu Yuanzhou, is that you?”
“Yeah!”
His low voice had a lazy, enveloping warmth, but it was very real.
He took my fingers and tenderly kissed each one against his lips.
Delicately kissing every fingertip.
“Then, when I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?”
“Do you want to be?”
“Yes, of course, I want you to stay.”
“Hmm…”
He didn’t answer !
After a while, he caressed my cheek and whispered again,
“Ayun, you’re drunk! You’re really drunk right now, go to sleep quickly.”
I grew sowhat annoyed and hooked my hands around his neck, whining for him not to leave and threatening him petulantly like a little girl.
“Gu Yuanzhou, don’t go! If you dare leave, I’ll throw away your spirit tablet and never offer you paper or incense again.”
“Do you still think I’m a ghost?”
“You are!!”
That night, it seed we talked a lot.
Because after the alcohol, I was already a bit excited.
And the fulfillnt the man gave kept in an ecstatic state.
I rambled on and on to him, and he kept coaxing .
Just like after we got married, whenever we had a small spat, he always had the patience to soothe .
But exactly what we talked about, I couldn’t rember afterward.
Later I drifted off into a dazed sleep.
As I turned over, I caught a glimpse of the light on in the bathroom, a shadow moving inside, and for a fleeting mont, it took back to the warm days after our marriage.
These were re monts from a life past, those inadvertent everyday scenes that now, upon reflection, were just wishful thinking, only appearing in dreams.
I was too tired, just a glance and I fell back into dreams.
I only woke up from the dream when it was light outside.
I stared blankly at the ceiling.
It was already daylight outside, and sohow the window had been closed.
I vaguely rember that last night the window was not closed, the wind was blowing the curtains, and a lot of rain was drifting in.
But at this mont, the window was tightly shut, and there were no traces of rain on the floor.
Did I have a hallucination last night?
I reached up to touch my forehead and felt disoriented the mont I got out of bed.
My body felt as if it had been run over by a car.
My back was sore!
I threw back the covers and saw so traces left on the bedsheet…
What was going on?
Could it be that a man really did that sort of thing with last night?
After getting out of bed, I staggered into the shower room.
It seed there were no traces left of any strangers either.
However, at this mont, I was struck by an extre discomfort in my eyes that made lose interest in thinking about anything else.
I went up to the mirror, held on to the edges of the wash basin, and carefully checked my eyes, only to find they were bloodshot and sowhat swollen.
It seed that the injury from yesterday hadn’t fully healed.
My eyes were scratchy and swollen.
I applied a hot compress first, but since I was in a hurry to get to work, I didn’t pay much attention to it.
I put on a pair of sunglasses and left the house.
After the banquet last night,
the company’s orders had clearly increased, and now I had a heap of work to deal with.
There were many social engagents.
I was busy with work as soon as I entered the office in the morning.
Around noon, Jian Jing ca in and made a cup of coffee…
“My child got sick yesterday, so I didn’t go to Beilu Hill. Wenya said you drank too much, are you alright?”
I was verifying data on an order and didn’t even lift my head, “Do I look like I’m in trouble?”
“Isn’t that worrying about you?”
“How’s your daughter?”
“She caught a cold and is coughing a bit. I took her to the hospital for an IV yesterday. The doctor says it’s pneumonia and she needs to be hospitalized for a few days.”
“Then what are you doing here at work? Hurry up and go to the hospital to take care of the child. Don’t stick around here.”
“It’s alright, my mom’s there watching her. I just need to go later and take her place. Besides, I’ve already called Yu Jiahang. Anyway, he and his mother, one of them should go there, can’t leave everything to my mom.”
Jian Jing was actually a very dedicated person, she cherished the job I had offered her.
Always diligent and professional.
Around noon, the receptionist brought in another bouquet of flowers.
It was the sa as before, including the chocolates that I liked.
No na attached!
I unwrapped the bouquet and put the flowers into a vase…
Jian Jing exclaid, “Really, sending flowers without leaving a na, that person is so silly. If you don’t know who sent them, isn’t that sentint wasted? If it were , when sending flowers, I’d put a couplet with my na written all over it.”
“You, haha!”
“Oh, by the way, I forgot sothing important. This morning there was also an email that required a signature. I signed for it. Take a look at this.”
Jian Jing took a white sealed pouch out of the drawer.
The outside packaging was very upscale, marked with ‘Confidential Docunt.’
I opened the outer packaging pouch, and inside was a green brocade box. Inside the box, tied onto a red velvet lining, was a delicate brass key.
Further underneath in the box was a red property deed.
When I opened it, inside was a set of property on Wutong Avenue…
Upon seeing it, Jian Jing cheered, “Wow, who is being so generous, gifting you a property.”
I was actually stunned too, who was gifting a house?
Could it be Gu Yuanzhou.
