Chapter 154 - 155: Capitalist Who Doesn’t Blink While Lying
Gu Qichen’s eyebrows twitched.
This was already the second time today that this girl had initiated a kiss.
After kissing him, Xia Yangyang didn’t dare to meet his gaze.
…She was shy.
Xia Yangyang also felt somewhat embarrassed. She wondered if she was being too forward.
Moreover, she couldn’t read any emotions behind Gu Qichen’s deep eyes.
Would he dislike her being this aggressive?
Xia Yangyang felt somewhat awkward and flashed a forced smile, slowly moving away to escape his hold.
Just as Xia Yangyang was about to succeed,
She was suddenly scooped up by Gu Qichen.
This was different from his usual princess-style lifts.
Gu Qichen glued her to the bookshelf by holding her waist.
With a little scream of surprise, Xia Yangyang reflexively wrapped her legs around his waist.
Following her move, Gu Qichen pulled her closer by holding her small butt.
So, the current pose was…
Exceedingly intimate.
The two were so closely melded that they could almost hear each other’s heartbeat.
Their bodies pushed together, sensing an arousal and heat, even through their thin clothing.
Her blush spreading down to her neck, all happened before Xia Yangyang could react, and Gu Qichen was already kissing her.
An incredibly lingering kiss—
They quickly ended up entangled on the bed.
At the peak of passion, they heard a knock at the door.
Xia Yangyang instantly tensed and attempted to push Gu Qichen away.
But the enchanted man was unwilling to stop.
Xia Yangyang felt like her very soul was aflame. She was soaring through the clouds, but the remnants of her sanity couldn’t ignore the increasing door-knocking sounds.
She had always been a dutiful, rule-following girl, so this level of carefree abandon was new to her.
Under such thrilling circumstances, she reached her peak…
It was as if everything disappeared, and she was floating on the surface of a peaceful lake, wrapped in warm waters, as if she were lying in her mother’s arms stargazing during her childhood.
Peaceful and blissful…
The man was gazing at the dazed little creature beneath him, stroking her hair, and kissed her forehead gently like a dragonfly skimming water.
His eyes were fixated on Xia Yangyang’s rosy smiling face, not wanting to miss any subtle expression.
By the time they emerged from the room, half an hour had passed.
Xia Yangyang took a shower, changed into refreshing clothes, and had regained her clarity.
But the blush on her face hadn’t faded yet and looked like fiery clouds in the sky.
The knock at the door was from the housekeeper.
He had come three times during this period.
The first time was summoned by Gu Mingzhu to enjoy fruits in the living room.
The second time, the old man wanted to discuss something with Gu Qichen in the study.
The third time, the Gu’s family guests were about to leave.
Xia Liangdong was leaving as Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen finally came downstairs.
Gu Mingzhu said: “What were you two doing in the room all this while? We’ve been calling you for so long.”
Xia Yangyang’s face turned instantly red, and she subtly pinched Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen, however, remained calm and casually replied, “There were some urgent issues in the company that needed immediate groundwork. So, we got delayed a bit.”
Gu Mingzhu complained, “You’re just a workaholic like your father, always thinking about making money. Is money something that you can completely earn?”
Xia Liangdong said, “Ah Chen is young and promising, and his ambition is a good thing.”
Xia Yangyang, deep inside, marvelled at Gu Qichen’s lying skills which were so flawless, well-suited for a shrewd businessman.
Xia Weiwei clenched her teeth and fists in annoyance.
Because she saw the hickeys all over Xia Yangyang’s neck.
They clearly just… in the room..
