C38 We Should Have a Couple's Life Now!

Huo Niannian couldn't help but think to herself, I'm not the type to suffer in silence—I'm not mean-spirited!

"What kind of impression do you want to leave on me?"

Gu Tingshen suddenly closed the distance between them, his approach meant in jest. However, as Huo Niannian stood up, they bumped into each other.

His arms naturally encircled her waist, drawing her body close to his.

Looking down, his eyes landed on Huo Niannian's subtly curved chest.

Feeling his gaze, Huo Niannian's face turned beet red, and she pushed Gu Tingshen away.

"You're a creep!"

"You're the one who leaned in," Gu Tingshen retorted with an amused smile, flipping the blanket aside as he prepared to climb into bed.

"Why are you getting in bed? You should be sleeping on the sofa," Huo Niannian stammered, backing away.

"The sofa's too small; I can't fit on it."

"Then I'll sleep on the sofa."

As Huo Niannian made to leave, Gu Tingshen swiftly extended his hand. He pulled her back onto the bed, securing her between his body and the mattress.

His breaths became deeper and more pronounced.

Gu Tingshen's thoughts drifted to that night at the bar when they first met. She was intoxicated, playfully clinging to him, proclaiming that a gentleman should be open and honest.

Although he felt a spark of desire, Gu Tingshen wasn't the type to have a fling with a stranger. Now, seeing Tian's audacious attitude, he was reminded of her bold invitation that night. He was filled with a sense of regret and a longing to make amends.

"Gu Tingshen, what are you trying to do?!"

Huo Niannian's heartbeat accelerated as the breathing above her grew heavier, her pulse throbbing in her throat.

Leaning in with deliberate intent, Gu Tingshen whispered seductively in her ear, "What do you think I want to do?"

His voice resonated deeply, sending a shockwave straight to her heart!

Huo Niannian's body softened, as if a current had surged through her. Her brain short-circuited, her mouth agape, but no words came out.

"We're already husband and wife; it's only natural for us to have a conjugal life, isn't it?" His fingers gently combed through Huo Niannian's hair, rendering her utterly speechless as if a vital pressure point had been pressed.

Long fingers glided slowly through Huo Niannian's hair, leaving her feeling as if she had been struck mute by an acupressure point.

"I'm unwell; do you really have the heart to proceed?" Huo Niannian bit her lip, her usual mischief and defiance nowhere to be found. She looked as vulnerable as a little rabbit, pleading with the big bad wolf for clemency.

Gu Tingshen's throat constricted at her endearing appearance, and he bent down to kiss the woman in his arms.

His kiss was forceful and assertive. Huo Niannian, lacking experience, quickly found herself gasping for air.

Eyes wide with shock, Huo Niannian attempted to push Gu Tingshen away. However, her efforts were as ineffective as tickling him, making no impact whatsoever.

Gu Tingshen was spellbound, addicted. He had never imagined her lips could be so irresistibly sweet and soft. He deepened the kiss without restraint...

Suddenly, a faintly sweet, coppery taste spread on his tongue. Gu Tingshen's eyes flew open, his dark pupils sharp and intense.

Huo Niannian, frightened by his fervor, trembled and accused, "You're vile!"

Seeing her truly angered, Gu Tingshen reluctantly let her go, partly out of concern for her health. Their marital relations would have to be postponed—not while she was ill.

"Enough now. Just sleep. I have no interest in ailing patients," he said, turning off the bedside lamp.

Despite Gu Tingshen being the one to initiate, he had the nerve to tell her to stop making a fuss!
