Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 713 - 287._3

Weakly glancing at him, the words that came out were broken and shattered into pieces, "Lust leads to ruin... You, you still have injuries on your body... Don’t you value your life?"

In the bright light, all her emotions had nowhere to hide, completely exposed under those deep black eyes.

It’s only May, why is it so hot already?

He didn’t need to say anything, just smiling at Wanxia, and she was the first to surrender.

Uneasily, she averted her gaze and withdrew her hand that was covering the man’s mouth.

Pulled up the quilt, wrapping herself tightly.

Gu Shaozhi looked at the back of her head poking out from the quilt, his voice becoming raspier, "Feeling angry out of shame?"

Wanxia didn’t reply.

If words don’t work, ignoring him should be fine.

Gu Shaozhi wasn’t in a hurry either, his lean body moved closer, and his long fingers slowly pulled her out from under the quilt.

He laughed softly, "Breathe for a while before continuing to be shy, otherwise, how would you handle being suffocated?"

"You’re so annoying!" Wanxia, exposed under the man’s gaze without a place to hide, bit him out of spite without thinking.

The quiet bedroom was filled with the muffled sound of the man groaning in pain.

Gu Shaozhi laughed instead of getting angry, leisurely licking his lips, his gaze seductive, voice low and husky, "Dare to bite me?"

"Who, who told you to be so annoying, deserving of a bite!" Wanxia looked around, avoiding his gaze, her words stumbling, "Didn’t... see I’m sleepy?"

"Sleep then, I won’t tease you any longer."

Wanxia was a little confused.

Little Pea always had endless energy, bouncing home one moment and running to Wanxia’s place the next, sometimes her crisp, lively laughter was heard before she was even seen.

After Mu Jin Huan and Nan Wan left for work, Pea spent most of her time playing with her aunt.

Although Jiu Jiu was aloof, as long as he’s with his sister, he turned into a warm guy.

In the yard, there was a sycamore tree, and Gu Shaozhi personally made a swing for Pea. Being pushed back and forth by her brother made her incredibly happy.

Wanxia nestled in the man’s arms, leisurely watching the two children play.

"Wanwan."

"What?"

Gu Shaozhi held the woman’s soft hand, his gaze falling on Pea’s smiling little face, his black eyes showing no obvious emotion, "Was it very painful when you gave birth to An Ge?"

He couldn’t experience that pain, nor did he share any of it with her.

Upon hearing his words, the smile on Wanxia’s lips paused for a moment, but soon it returned to normal.

It was an extremely remote Jiangnan Town, and the medical environment and conditions at the clinic were naturally poor.

She started having contractions from 7 a.m. until Pea was born at 3 a.m.

During that time, she truly thought she might die of pain on that hospital bed.

Four years had passed, and thinking about it still felt painful all over.

But it was worth it. To obtain something beautiful, one had to give something. Compared to the angel that arrived, the pain was nothing.

Wanxia smiled faintly, her tone light, "Not really, it’s been so long, I almost don’t remember anymore."

The doctor’s words were still in her mind, she pretended to be relaxed and casual, Gu Shaozhi’s heart ached a little, "I’m sorry for leaving you alone."

Wanxia seemed to sense his current emotion, lifting her head to kiss him beside his lips, she smiled and said, "Alright, I forgive you."

What’s already past, no matter how apologetic, cannot be undone.

What he wanted to give her was the present and the future.

"Shaozhi, let’s tell An Ge when she’s older, okay? She’s still too young and might not be able to handle it yet."

It was a consulting tone.

Gu Shaozhi had thought about it, but he knew he shouldn’t rush, "Hmm, I’ll listen to you."

Mom and Dad turned into Uncle and Aunt, while Aunt and Uncle became Mom and Dad. At Pea’s age, it was indeed a difficult truth to accept.

Let’s wait a little longer.

Wait for the right time to tell her, she’s a Gu by name.

Wanxia had said she would treat Jin Sinan to a meal.

The contract was finalized, and Jin Sinan was in a good mood, accepting the invitation as soon as he got the call.

With Nan Wan and Mu Jin Huan, Wanxia also invited Xu Moyi and Huo Yihan, as she hadn’t had the chance to apologize for the wedding incident.

Xu Mo was supposed to go shopping with Huo Ran, but knowing that Wanxia would be leaving Qing City in a few days, he decisively ditched Huo Ran.

Was Huo Ran that forgiving person?

Of course not!

Xu Mo wondered if her eardrum was going to be shattered. After the call ended, she sidled up to Wanxia, embarrassed, "Sister Wan Xia, I stood someone up, she might come looking for me to settle the score, can we set another place for her?"

Wanxia didn’t mind, "Sure, is she your friend?"

"She’s my grandmother."

Wanxia, "..."

Wasn’t Grandma Xu already... deceased?

Seeing Wanxia’s confused expression, Xu Moyi then remembered to explain, "It’s an ancestor of the Huo Family, still attending university, graduating in June, young but of high seniority. Whenever I upset her, she complains to Grandpa Huo Yihan, threatening to throw me out of the family."

In the past, Xu Mo was the little rascal tormenting others, now she was tormented by little rascals every day.

The saying ’what goes around comes around’ is truly spot on.

Other than Wanxia and Gu Shaozhi, everyone else knew Huo Ran, and her tagging along for a meal wasn’t too awkward.

Turns out, Huo Ran got lost.

Until they finished lunch, she was nowhere to be seen.

Jin Sinan had a flight to catch. After finishing a cup of tea, he drove away.

Before leaving, he whistled at Wanxia in a roguish manner, though he was looking at Gu Shaozhi, the words were meant for Wanxia, "If he ever treats you poorly, the Jin Family’s household will welcome you."

Gu Shaozhi’s calm black eyes remained unmoved, not even a frown, as if he didn’t take the guy seriously at all.

Onlooker Xu Mo gave a thumbs up in her heart.

Being gazed at by so many pairs of eyes, Wanxia felt a bit embarrassed.

Jin Sinan laughed heartily a couple of times, waved goodbye, and started the car.
