Although Han Han’s nose was hit and hurt, she was carried upstairs by him, and she thought that this experience was quite worth it.
Even though she didn’t understand why this man suddenly picked her up, she happily wrapped her arms around his neck, "I’m a woman, so I’m allowed to be spoiled!"
Being spoiled is a woman’s right!
Actually, Gu Xiaozhan only wanted to carry her upstairs because he saw her barefoot.
However, this proud and aloof man could never act intimately without reason.
With her unclear intentions now, how could he afford not to be cautious?
So, he stopped and turned around suddenly, calculating that she would bump into him and act spoiled and coquettish.
He would then smoothly wrap his arms around her, ensuring that nothing seemed overly deliberate.
How could Han Han ever gauge his thoughts, even with the experience of two lifetimes, she wouldn’t outdo the shrewd and cunning Gu Xiaozhan!
They reached the bedroom.
Gu Xiaozhan put her down and saw her running to the bathroom barefoot. He said in a deep voice, "Wear your shoes."
"Okay!" Han Han obediently put on her slippers and busied herself in the bathroom, "Honey, the water’s ready! You can come in and wash now..."
Before she even finished her sentence, she saw him already entering.
He took off his shirt, revealing his eight-pack abs. His long fingers fell on the belt buckle, and the V-line leading to his lower abdomen was faintly visible.
Han Han felt her mouth go dry and her heart beat faster.
When his trousers hit the floor, she heard his magnetically deep voice say, "What? Want to help me shower?"
"If that’s what you want." Han Han’s face turned red, refusing to concede. As soon as she said it, her heart pounded even more violently.
Gu Xiaozhan’s pitch-black eyes seemed to assess how genuine her words were.
Han Han felt slightly nervous under his gaze; mainly because his aura was too powerful, and with only a piece of cloth to cover him, she was the first to look away.
The woman’s bluff made him somewhat displeased.
"Get out!" he ordered coldly.
Han Han glared at him, noticing his expression was firm and cold as if he were a working machine without a trace of human emotion.
Remembering how madly he loved her in the past life, she decided not to argue with a workaholic!
She walked out and closed the bathroom door for him.
Soon, the sound of water filled the bathroom.
Han Han lay back on the bed; maybe it was his scent lingering in the room, she felt at ease and fell into a deep sleep hugging the quilt.
Fifteen minutes later.
Gu Xiaozhan opened the bathroom door; when he came out in a bathrobe, she was already fast asleep.
She occupied his bed and slept as if it was perfectly natural.
He sat beside her, noticing the marks on her wrist from where he had grabbed her this morning.
He sighed inwardly again: "Spoiled brat!"
Yet, surprisingly, he gently blew on them for her...
But a sleeping Han Han would never know that this powerful and ruthless man had such a childish side!
...
At seven in the morning, Gu Xiaozhan woke up on time.
Except for the night four years ago when she was drugged, and two nights ago when he was affected by aphrodisiac perfume, Gu Xiaozhan had never slept with Han Han in his arms.
Last night, he held her and fell asleep together.
In his heart, a rare sense of happiness began to spread.
When he saw Han Han still asleep, he picked up his phone, only to find Han Han’s phone placed next to his.
Han Han’s phone had a new message, and even without unlocking the screen, he could see its content: [Han Han, everyone only has one life, and choosing who to spend the rest with is extremely important. My only choice is you, and I will forever be the one you can trust the most and treat you with the utmost gentleness. I will wait for you until the end.]
This was a message from Zhou Jingyi.
Gu Xiaozhan suppressed the furious waves raging within him; his deep eyes reflected a cold and sharp determination like towering cliffs.
