BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 - 71: The Cat That Stepped On Its Tail
In the past, but that was when I was in a state of unconsciousness too.
It’s completely different now.
Xia Yangyang, with her back to Gu Qichen, realizes that there is nothing to cover herself with in the bathroom.
Like a cat with its tail stepped on, she roared, “Gu Qichen, get out!”
Gu Qichen found Xia Yangyang with her hair standing on end rather cute.
Xia Yangyang’s complexion was inherently pale. At this moment, though, it held an odd rosy hue, similar to a ripe honey peach. Gu Qichen began to miss the slickness of her skin, akin to silk.
Gu Qichen’s eyes darken.
If this continues, he worries his self restraint will collapse.
But now is not the right time.
Gu Qichen stepped out, and Xia Yangyan hurriedly said, “Leave my clothes on the ground.”
Gu Qichen hooked the corner of his mouth and put down her clothes.
Xia Yangyang dressed and stayed inside for a while before stepping out.
Gu Qichen was on the balcony making a call. After hanging up and entering, he saw Xia Yangyang glaring at him.
Gu Qichen hadn’t even spoken.
Xia Yangyang blurted out, “Pervert!”
Gu Qichen laughed, having lived for more than twenty years, it was the first time he had been described with these words.
Gu Qichen casually responded, “Who’s the real pervert when someone walks out from the bathroom naked?”
Xia Yangyang: “Couldn’t you have knocked before entering? That’s basic manners.”
“Xia Yangyang, who knocks before entering their own bedroom? Besides, I wasn’t aware that you’d be… so unreserved!”
Xia Yangyang, observing the faint shadow of a smirk on Gu Qichen’s face, felt so embarrassed that she wished for a hole to open up in the ground and swallow her whole.
Gu Qichen smiled and said, “Okay, no need to dwell on this. We’re married, so it’s quite normal. If you really feel uncomfortable about it, next time I finish showering, I can let you see me without clothes.”
Xia Yangyang:”…”
Xia Yangyang was so angry her teeth itched, but she had no comeback.
Xia Yangyang snorted, packed up her things, and prepared to leave.
However, she was stopped by Gu Qichen who grabbed her arm, “Xia Yangyang, we need to talk.”
Xia Yangyang muttered, “What is there to talk about?”
“That’s what I want to ask you; what’s been going on with you these past few days?”
Xia Yangyang knowingly played dumb, “What do you mean?”
Gu Qichen’s voice became more serious, “Xia Yangyang, you’ve been avoiding coming home and purposely avoiding me recently, what’s wrong?”
Xia Yangyang didn’t quite know what was wrong with herself either, but seeing Gu Qichen now felt oddly irritating.
Xia Yangyang replied, “I’ve just been busy lately.”
“Xia Yangyang, look me in the eyes and say it again, tell me you’re not lying.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t dare to meet Gu Qichen’s gaze, his eyes were inscrutable.
In fact, she was still somewhat afraid of this man.
Gu Qichen said, “I checked your schedule. You don’t have many classes recently, and you also don’t have class this afternoon; you should rest for a while. I’ll bring you to meet someone tonight.”
Xia Yangyang reflexively responded, “Who are we meeting?”
“Shen Manbing,” Gu Qichen replied. “I know you still care about what happened last time. Since I can’t explain it clearly, let her tell you in person.”
One had to admit, Gu Qichen really had an uncanny ability to read people.
Was Gu Qichen really willing to take her to see Shen Manbing? Did this mean that she had indeed misunderstood?
Xia Yangyang’s voice softened a bit, “But Shen Manbing must be very busy, right? As a big-name star, meeting her is probably harder than reaching the sky for ordinary people, right?”
Gu Qichen reached out and squeezed Xia Yangyang’s cheek, “Who has a jealous wife like me? If I don’t clear this up now, even though I can bear it, she can’t.”
Gu Qichen leaned closer, his tone playful.
Xia Yangyang was a bit stunned, “Who are you talking about?”
Gu Qichen teased, “Her.”
Xia Yangyang blushed with irritation again, “Gu Qichen! You, you… are doing it again….”
