Chapter 185: Is There Someone Else
This kind of thing must not happen again. No matter how smart Yan Xi was, in this book world, Gu Shen could crush her in terms of status and wealth.
Moreover, no matter how gentle Gu Shen looked on the surface, he was by nature a ruthless person.
“I’ll watch the time next time,” she said in a soft, aggrieved voice. “You really scared me tonight. I was scared when I heard what you said. Can you not say them next time?”
“Okay.” Gu Shen agreed readily. Every time Yan Xi showed weakness, he would compromise his principles.
He was no longer like him, but Gu Shen did not feel that anything was wrong.
He looked at Yan Xi quietly, his fingers slowly wandering around until they touched her earlobe.
Yan Xi was soon immersed in his gentleness. She slowly closed her eyes and felt a hand on her back, caressing her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed Gu Shen’s wrist.
The two of them looked each other in the eyes. Gu Shen’s eyes were deep and unreadable. He was like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour Yan Xi.
It was obvious to Yan Xi what Gu Shen wanted to do next.
Yan Xi bit her lip. “Why don’t… we wait for the next time? The place where I was bitten today still hurts.”
Gu Shen let go of Yan Xi and bit her lips as a punishment.
“It hurts here too.” Yan Xi covered her mouth. “It’s already swollen from your bite.”
Yan Xi was really afraid of Gu Shen. With the excuse that she was thirsty, Yan Xi grabbed a bottle of water and went to the sofa.
“Do you want some water?”
“Okay.” Gu Shen nodded. He really needed something to stifle his desire. He was no longer satisfied with just kissing and caressing. He wanted more in-depth contact.
Yan Xi handed him the water and sat back down on the sofa. She tried to change the topic.
“The doctor said we have to wait until tomorrow for the results of the checkup.”
“I know.”
Yan Xi was a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and was about to find another topic when Gu Shen spoke.
“Yan Xi, do you want to go back to college? I can help you apply for a college in neurology.”
Yan Xi was not as happy as Gu Shen imagined.
What a joke, of course she didn’t want to! She had put up with so much in college to get her graduate certificate. Now, Gu Shen wanted her to experience everything all over again.
He might as well suggest that she go back to high school or kindergarten to experience the “school life” again.
“Why do you want me to go back to studying?”
“You can’t stay cooped up at home all the time. You can meet some good friends in college. They’ll make you happier.” But not boyfriends.
Yan Xi put on a forced smile, not knowing what to say.
She drew a deep breath to calm down.
“Gu Shen, I’m glad that you’re so considerate of me, but I haven’t considered going back to school yet. I want to be by your side.”
“But…”
“But what?” Yan Xi pursed her lips. “Do you think I’m annoying now? Or are you impatient with me and want to get rid of me because you have another woman?”
Gu Shen frowned. “There’s no such thing.”
His heart was already tied to Yan Xi, so how could he have another woman?
“All right. Let’s talk about this until your legs are healed. I said I’d be there with you during your treatment.”
Gu Shen lowered his eyes and looked at his thigh.
“It’ll get better. Then you’ll go back to your studies.”
Yan Xi nodded perfunctorily. Even if his legs recovered, she would still not go back to school to get tortured!
