War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 252: How about you go back?

When the two woke up, it was already noon.

Tang Yuxiu got up first, looked at Gu Yan who was still sound asleep, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

To be honest, given his strict standards for food, clothing, housing, and travel, such a simple hotel and its facilities were really beneath him, and he always found it uncomfortable.

However, Gu Yan was here, and for her, he was willing to make compromises.

Someone once said, loving someone isn’t making them become your ideal, but you becoming what they love most.

Tang Yuxiu looked at himself in the mirror. It was still the same face, but he felt something in him had changed.

Gu Yan woke up in a daze, finding herself alone in bed, with the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom. She was slightly stunned, then found herself in a cheerful mood.

She rolled around on the bed, hugging the quilt with a smile on her face, but then suddenly felt something was off and stopped. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Huh, why doesn’t it hurt at all down there?

Even though she was dead tired and extremely sleepy last night, she was quite aware of the pain down there, it was torture.

But how come after waking up, there was no feeling at all?

Was it an illusion last night?

She couldn’t help but touch it. There was truly no sensation.

So strange.

Tang Yuxiu came out of the bathroom to see Gu Yan sitting on the bed, looking baffled.

He walked over and sat by the bed, reaching out to easily pull her into his lap.

"What’s on your mind? You look so puzzled."

Gu Yan, caught off guard, immediately said, "I was wondering why it doesn’t hurt down there, last night you clearly made it..."

Gu Yan suddenly stopped talking and covered her mouth with her hand. Damn, what was she saying!

But Tang Yuxiu raised an eyebrow and directly lifted her nightgown, looking down, "Is it really better?"

Gu Yan slapped his hand away, "What are you doing!"

"I was just checking, after all, that’s still my privilege." Tang Yuxiu said with a serious face.

Gu Yan blushed, "..." giving him a fierce glare, "You pervert, what goes on in your head all day!"

"Thinking about you."

Gu Yan, "..." blushed again.

"Be honest, while I was away for more than a month, were you with other women? How did you suddenly become so smooth-talking?"

"Isn’t it possible I mastered it on my own?" Young Master Tang raised an eyebrow, arrogantly.

Gu Yan, "...Fine. As long as you only say it to me, I love hearing it all."

"Of course, only to you."

Tang Yuxiu answered straightforwardly, which somewhat made Gu Yan a little unaccustomed.

"I’m so used to you contradicting me and teasing me, suddenly saying such nice things, I’m a bit not used to it."

Tang Yuxiu’s gaze deepened, he lightly kissed her forehead and said, "Yanyan, I was wrong before. I was unwilling to say anything sincere to you, making it hard for you to understand my heart, so you never felt secure with me, or trusted me, that’s all my own doing. Now I’ve figured it out, as long as you like it, and it makes you feel at ease, I’ll say whatever you want to hear, and do whatever you want me to do."

Gu Yan was very moved and leaned tightly in his arms, "Tang Yuxiu, I really like you now! You’re amazing!"

Tang Yuxiu softly smiled, leaned close to her slightly flushed ear, and whispered, "Since you think I’m wonderful, shouldn’t you reward me somehow?"

Gu Yan tilted her head, his lips lightly brushed her cheek, her heart suddenly jumped, and it felt like her heartbeat skipped a beat.

She asked blankly, "Reward what?"

He lowered his head and instantly kissed her lips, speaking huskily, "This."

Gu Yan, "..."

Damn, she accidentally fell into Young Master Tang’s gentle trap again, letting him take advantage of her.

Gu Yan pushed against his chest. He released her lips, pressing his forehead against hers, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Yan said softly, "It’s broad daylight, I just woke up. Can’t you stop being so passionate all the time? I really feel tired, and I haven’t eaten all day, I’m really hungry."

Tang Yuxiu slightly frowned, gazing into her eyes for a long time before letting her go, "Alright. Quickly get ready, I’ll take you out to eat."

Gu Yan happily nodded, grabbed a set of clothes, and dashed to the bathroom.

Tang Yuxiu watched her back, shaking his head with a gentle smile, yet he enjoyed this kind of helplessness.

This version of Gu Yan was the one he liked.

He hoped that with him, Gu Yan could always be this happy, carefree.

He knew she liked this place because it provided a kind of peacefulness, free from the complications of relationships or life.

Tang Yuxiu slowly strolled to the window, his deep eyes glimmering with an unfathomable light. The sunlight outside fell upon him, casting a layer of ethereal glow on him.

Since Gu Yan liked this kind of life, he would definitely create a peaceful, worry-free environment for her, as long as she was by his side.

Gu Yan changed clothes and came out, saw him by the window, and naturally took his arm, "Let’s go."

Tang Yuxiu tilted his head, she had a bright smile on her face, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, wearing casual clothes, looking like an eighteen-year-old girl despite being twenty-four.

He reached out and patted her head, "Hmm."

Gu Yan brought the camera, left the hotel, and found a simple yet clean restaurant with Tang Yuxiu, ordering a few dishes.

Tang Yuxiu was somewhat picky, particularly disliking the food at these small restaurants, eating only a little even when hungry.

Gu Yan looked at him speechlessly, "When you’re out, don’t be such a neat freak and picky, aren’t you afraid of fainting from hunger? Or maybe you should just go back, and I’ll go have fun myself."

Hearing her suggesting he go back, Tang Yuxiu was unhappy, picked up the chopsticks, his face darkened, gritting his teeth, "I’ll eat."

Saying so, he picked up some food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing twice without any expression before swallowing.

Gu Yan was silent, does this dish have a grudge against you?

"Seeing you eat so reluctantly, I feel quite bad, maybe you should go back, at home you can be as particular as you want, this should save you the trouble."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxiu looked up and glared at her, "Gu Yan, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!"

Gu Yan innocently blinked, "No, I’m doing it for your own good, why don’t you appreciate it?"

Tang Yuxiu gritted his teeth, "Fine, I appreciate it." He glanced at the bowl in front of her which still had half a bowl of rice, saying, "Hurry up and eat, let’s go as soon as you’re full."

"Are you really not going to eat any more?"

Tang Yuxiu looked at Gu Yan’s concerned eyes and swallowed back his refusal.

"Then I’ll accompany you and eat a bit more."

Gu Yan smiled, immediately giving him more food enthusiastically, "Just endure for a while, once we’re home I’ll cook for you every day."

"You said it, don’t forget."

"I have a good memory, won’t forget."

They occasionally exchanged a few words, this meal took almost an hour.

Leaving the restaurant, Gu Yan slung the camera over one shoulder, hooked her arm around Tang Yuxiu’s, and said to him, "Let’s visit the attractions here, I want to take more pictures, otherwise I don’t know when I can come back."

"Alright, whatever you say."

Gu Yan went and bought a travel brochure, flipping through the marked attractions.

Turning the pages, she sighed, "Even though this place isn’t big, it has a lot of attractions."

"They’re all closely packed together, so naturally there are many, but it’s also quite spectacular."

Gu Yan nodded in agreement.

"I don’t know how long it’ll take us to see everything."

"Two days, let’s start with this place this afternoon."

Gu Yan looked in the direction he pointed, the illustration showed colorful dangling stalactites, dreamy and entrancing.

She glanced at the name in the introduction, it was called "Cangjun Cave."

Gu Yan nodded, "Alright."

Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu bought tickets and entered the cave, it was a long corridor, with natural stone formations lit by small colorful lights for illumination.

Since it wasn’t a holiday, and not peak tourist season, there were few people here today, their footsteps and breathing echoed, making it feel empty.

The structure inside Cangjun Cave was unique, the stalactites were of varied shapes, brilliant and colorful, and Gu Yan was seen watching intently.

After walking about twenty meters along the path, they saw a water pool resembling a large basin, with a water column spouting in the center, spreading outward in cycles.

Gu Yan approached and stared at it for a long time, amazed, "This is a natural fountain, not man-made, the water sprays by itself without external force."

Tang Yuxiu was also seeing such a natural fountain for the first time, nodding with admiration, "Indeed, it’s unexpected."

"So beautiful and impressive," Gu Yan praised, she immediately flipped open the travel brochure, which introduced that Cangjun Cave consisted of twelve large karst cave groups, this place was called Guardian Hall.

"Guardian Hall? That’s a nice name." Gu Yan murmured, she continued reading, finding the name of this natural fountain was "Heavenly Palace Bath."

"Wow, this name..." she thought this thing was amazing, yet it’s called a bath...

Nonetheless, Gu Yan enthusiastically picked up the camera to capture a few angles, then handed the camera to Tang Yuxiu, asking him to take some pictures of her.

Still unsatisfied, she asked a fellow tourist to take a picture of them together.

Tang Yuxiu didn’t like taking pictures, but Gu Yan was firm, he had no choice but to comply.

With her so happy and in high spirits, he couldn’t bear to spoil her mood.

Gu Yan took the camera back from the tourist, thanked them, and returned to his side, reviewing the photos one by one, nodding with satisfaction, "They’re shot pretty well."

After the photos were taken, Gu Yan looked at the natural fountain a few more times, then continued inside with Tang Yuxiu.

The next place was called Hui Di Hall, as they entered, they saw a huge stone hanging overhead, cracked in the middle, yet solidly suspended in mid-air, not falling.

Gu Yan, while looking and consulting the travel brochure, mumbled to herself, "This is called Broken Sword Stone... it looks amazing."

Tang Yuxiu, "...why don’t we find a tour guide if you keep looking like this?"
