"What?" Qin Xueyao’s eyes widened in shock. She glanced at Qin Yiheng and then turned to Qin Zhennan, "Dad, is what big brother said true?"
A person who hides a trendous secret in their heart year after year, living in constant fear of being discovered, has their ntal world always covered with a protective shield. When it’s suddenly torn apart, it sends their heart into shock.
At this mont, Qin Zhennan was feeling just that.
His heart beats uncontrollably fast.
After several seconds of calming down, he felt slightly better. With a face turning pale from anger, he pointed at Qin Yishu and cursed, "You damn girl!"
Qin Yishu had never seen Qin Zhennan like this before, as if he would eat soone alive at any mont. She was scared, "Dad, we’re all family. Is it not okay to share secrets?"
Qin Zhennan’s chest heaved with anger, feeling powerless, he slumped into a chair, sighed helplessly, and finally spoke in a deep tone, "Listen to carefully, this matter must never be ntioned again. If it gets out, our whole family’s lives will be in danger."
Qin Yiheng and Qin Yishu dared not ask any more questions.
Qin Xueyao, emboldened by the child in her belly, took a step forward, "Dad, what exactly is going on?"
Qin Zhennan slamd the table with a "bang", clenching his teeth and scolding angrily, "Didn’t you understand what I just said? You’re not allowed to bring this up again, and even if you know, you must keep it to yourself!"
Although they didn’t know the full story, seeing Qin Zhennan’s serious yet jittery reaction, Qin Yiheng and the others knew the situation was quite serious and dared not ask any more questions.
...
Gu Jiayin returned to the room with Sheng Qianchi, suddenly being pinned against the door by him.
He trapped her between him and the door, his hot breath spraying on her face, his eyes dark like an ink-washed sky, "Found Wei Yang pleasing to the eye?"
Gu Jiayin, "..."
It took her several seconds before she realized this man was jealous.
At the ti, she had discovered one of Wei Yang’s secrets, so she watched him a little longer.
"He’s quite handso, isn’t he?"
"Am I not handso enough? Am I not enough that you have to look at other n?"
Gu Jiayin pouted, "Different types, looking more pleases the eye a bit more."
Sheng Qianchi nodded ambiguously, his eyes unfathomable, "Forgot what I told you before?"
He said that if she dared to ss with other n, he would destroy each one she attracted, even two if needed.
Gu Jiayin rolled her eyes, "I haven’t forgotten. You only said you’d deal with the n I ss with, not that you’d punish . What do I have to worry about?"
Sheng Qianchi smirked in anger, pinching her chin and giving her a light peck, "Gu Jiayin, you’re getting more spoiled, aren’t you?"
Gu Jiayin didn’t deny it, "Didn’t you say you fell in love with ? Didn’t you say you’d spoil ? If so, being spoiled is only natural, right?"
Sheng Qianchi smiled and nodded, "Yes, naturally, with , you can act wilfully, but next ti, stop, and don’t look at other n again."
As soon as he spoke, his kiss fell. The whole evening, he’d longed to pull her into a secluded corner and kiss her freely.
Gu Jiayin, quick and smart, raised a finger to stop their lips from eting, "What are you doing?"
They were still in a contractual relationship. He confessed, even making it clear he loves her, wanting to pursue her, but she never agreed to him, so such intimacy was inappropriate.
Sheng Qianchi had long been used to her rejection. If one day she stopped refusing his closeness, he would find it strange, "Tonight, you used to retaliate against Dou Chuanyan. I even gave you an antique painting worth a hundred million, but you won’t even let kiss you?"
Gu Jiayin pretended to push away the man pressing so close, "I didn’t make that kind of deal with you... Mmm."
As always, her resistance was in vain, and she ended up pinned against the door, kissed passionately and lingeringly.
He held her like a precious treasure, each touch full of fondness.
Gu Jiayin felt she was even a bit greedy for his touch.
Gradually, she beca weak in his embrace. If it weren’t for his big hand supporting her waist in ti, she would have surely slipped down.
In this embrace, she seed to lose herself in his grasp. She was ice, and he was a cup of warm water, covering her, trying to lt her and rge with him.
Gu Jiayin couldn’t help but clutch his collarbone’s clothing to support herself, or use the pressure of her fingertips to force herself to stay awake.
Her mind reminded her to reject, but her body craved his warmth.
Such a conflict.
He buried his handso face into her neck, calling her na in a low, hoarse voice, "Jiayin," the rich voice seed to carry magic, bewitching every nerve, "I love you."
This was the second ti he had said he loves her.
A man like him never says love lightly. Saying it ans a commitnt.
Gu Jiayin was unwilling to deny it forcefully.
So, she stayed silent.
The space fell into silence.
His body was hot, pressed against her, making her feel like she was being burned.
His breaths were rough yet steady, she could feel his heart beating strongly, rhythmically.
So say that a woman will ultimately belong to one man, a destined man who will pass his heat and heartbeat onto her, protecting her through life’s storms.
Once, she thought Pei Nianchen was her destined man, but they broke up.
Now, in Sheng Qianchi’s arms, she could truly feel him, but her heart was still confused.
After about ten minutes, Sheng Qianchi gently carried the woman in his arms, placed her on the bed, then turned and went to the cloakroom.
Half a minute later, he ca out with a nightgown, "Go take a shower, change, and sleep."
Gu Jiayin followed instructions, took the nightgown, and went to the bathroom.
Unwilling to take a bath, she quickly showered and changed into her nightwear.
When she ca out, she stepped barefoot onto the carpet, casually drying her hair with a towel.
Seeing the man sitting on the bed, scrolling through his phone with slender fingers, she realized they needed to sleep in the sa bed tonight because this wasn’t Shuiyunjian; there were no extra quilts.
