Night Fire Lingering

Alarm bells rang loudly in Wen Yan's mind.

She tried to pull the blanket over her body, but Gu Yanci placed her right in the middle of the blanket, so she could only pull a small piece of the blanket to barely cover part of her body. This gave people the illusion that she was trying to cover up her secrets and was coyly trying to refuse.

Gu Yanci gave her a deep look, then finally looked away. He turned around, took Wen Yan's bathrobe from her suitcase, and came back to sit on the bed again.

The mattress was noticeably tilted towards the man. Gu Yanci asked, "Should I change your pajamas?"

"Gu Yanci, what exactly do you want to do?" Wen Yan looked at him angrily.

He upgraded her room and let her live next to him, but now he's doing these ambiguous and suspicious things. What is he trying to do?

"You want to sleep in your swimsuit?" Gu Yanci asked calmly, as if he were just concerned about his wife who was throwing a tantrum.

Wen Yan asked him expressionlessly, "Sleep? Which one?"

Gu Yanci touched the skin on her shoulder and could feel that her skin temperature was low, while his fingertips were burning hot.

The man said, "I'm fine with either of them."

Wen Yan glanced at the spot where he showed no sign of abating and said sarcastically, "Then what do you mean by this?"

Gu Yanci showed no embarrassment whatsoever: "I couldn't control myself."

Wen Yan cursed a lot of swear words in her heart and pushed the man off her bed.

Just as she was about to order him to get out of her room, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Wen Yan subconsciously looked at Gu Yanci, her eyes filled with panic and fear.

She's wearing a swimsuit right now, in the same room and bed as her soon-to-be ex-husband. If anyone sees her like that, she'll be in a situation where she can't clear her name no matter what!

Wen Yan looked around and pointed to the toilet: "Go hide!"

She tried to get out of bed to open the door, but her limbs were still weak. She almost fell down the moment she got out of bed, but Gu Yanci caught her quickly.

A man's ambiguous chuckle came from above: "Wen Yan, are you soliciting a prostitute? Is it something you can't be proud of?"

"you shut up!"

The last time Wen Yan felt this awkward with Gu Yanci was three years ago when she was caught in bed with someone else by Gu's elders. Wen Yan still vividly remembered it. Ten years is like a well!

"Knock knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door." Gu Yanci put her back on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

Seeing Gu Yanci's calm demeanor, a thought popped into Wen Yan's mind: Zhou Qi might be looking for him.

That's right! Zhou Qi knew she lived here. It's perfectly reasonable that he came to look for Gu Yanci here since he couldn't find her in the next room!

Gu Yanci casually picked up a men's bathrobe from the closet, put it on, and went to open the door.

Wen Yan nestled in the blankets, and through the narrow corner of the bedroom, she could only see Gu Yanci's back as he stood at the door of the outer room in the living room.

"Young Master Gu, what are you doing here?"

It wasn't Zhou Qi's voice outside the door.

Instead, it was a familiar male voice, carrying an unusual chill.

It is the Jianghuai Prelude!

Wen Yan unconsciously gripped the blanket tightly, regretting that she hadn't shoved Gu Yanci into the bathroom earlier!

Jiang Huaixu looked at the person inside the room. It was probably a spur-of-the-moment decision. His bathrobe was not tied properly, and his chest was open, revealing his firm muscles.

This appearance is so alluring!

"Young Master Jiang," Gu Yanci leaned against the doorframe, as relaxed as if this were his own room, "I'm here to see my wife. Is there a problem?"

Jiang Huaixu was not surprised that Gu Yanci used his status to pressure him.

Jiang Huaixu chuckled and reminded him, "Young Master Gu has a bad memory. Aren't you and Yan Yan getting a divorce?"

"Yan Yan?" Gu Yanci's brow furrowed.

Jiang Huaixu shrugged; let him call him whatever he wants.

"What, Young Master Jiang, are you very interested in the idea of ​​taking on a third party?" Gu Yanci's expression was gentle, and he even smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, only an extremely oppressive indifference.

"What do you mean by 'third party'? Young Master Gu is about to become an ex-husband." Jiang Huaixu neither admitted nor refuted Gu Yanci.

Wen Yan sat on the bed, listening intently. Even from this distance, the atmosphere between the two seemed somewhat eerie.

Suddenly, there was a sound of something being knocked over outside.

Wen Yan couldn't sit still any longer. She grabbed her bathrobe and ran out, shouting, "Hey! Don't hit me—"

She was terrified that Gu Yanci and Jiang Huaixu would start fighting. Gu Yanci had been learning Taekwondo and Sanda since elementary school, while Jiang Huaixu had been in poor health since childhood. How could he be a match for Gu Yanci?

How can someone who has undergone a heart transplant be beaten?

When she ran out, she saw the two of them standing calmly face to face, without actually fighting!

The sound of that thing being knocked over probably came from the corridor outside.

"Yan Yan?" Jiang Huaixu looked at Wen Yan, who had suddenly run out, in astonishment.

He knew Wen Yan was inside, but in the current situation, it would be better for her not to show herself to avoid embarrassing her. So he stood there talking to Gu Yanci without mentioning where Wen Yan was at all.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yan suddenly appeared.

And she was even wearing a bathrobe...

The oversized black silk robe clearly belonged to men, and beneath it were a pair of long, snow-white legs...

Jiang Huaixu's reason told him he should look away, but the person in front of him was the one he had been longing for day and night, and his eyes simply wouldn't obey him.

In the brief moment of Jiang Huaixu's struggle, Gu Yanci had already taken a step to the side, using his body to block Wen Yan.

He turned his head and looked back at Wen Yan, saying, "Go back."

Looks embarrassed.

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that although her outfit didn't reveal anything, it was still very suggestive, especially since she was in the same room as Gu Yanci!

Wen Yan's ears immediately turned red, and she took several steps back, hiding behind the corner.

The tense standoff between the two was abruptly interrupted by Wen Yan's sudden action.

Jiang Huaixu looked somewhat bewildered, and a little disoriented, as if he were restraining himself. Gu Yanci, on the other hand, had a completely dark expression.

"Yan Yan, you should get some rest. See you tomorrow!"

Jiang Huaixu didn't want to embarrass Wen Yan, so he acted as if nothing had happened and turned to leave before Wen Yan could reappear.

Gu Yanci closed the door and came back to see the woman wearing his bathrobe pressed against the cold wall, looking like she was about to catch fire. Her eyes were still filled with panic, like a frightened deer in the forest. It was really tempting... and I really wanted to bully her!

"Wen Zhizhi!" Gu Yanci pinched Wen Yan's cheek, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke, "What are you trying to do dressed like this? Hmm?"

Wen Yan's lips were forced together as she reached out to push him away, mumbling, "Feng Kai!"

--open!

Try running around like that again next time!

Gu Yanci released his hand, and Wen Yan's thin skin left two tender red finger marks on her cheeks, which would take several minutes to fade.

His words were so intimate, as if the two were still husband and wife, the kind of words a husband with a strong possessive desire for his wife would say.
