Chapter 64: She Has Morning Grumpiness

Gu Yan's alarm bells rang wildly; she broke free from Gu Lin's hand and lunged toward Shen Yanhui.

She couldn't let him talk nonsense.

Gu Lin watched helplessly as his own sister threw herself onto Shen Yanhui and covered his mouth.

The man was knocked back half a step by her impact, yet he still caught her steadily. He looked down at her panicked little face, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, then pulled her hand down and lowered his head to kiss her.

This kiss was quick, but forceful.

Gu Lin watched, dumbfounded, pointing at them with trembling fingers: "You... you two..."

Shen Yanhui raised his head, his expression extremely calm.

As for Gu Yan, she was already too embarrassed to face anyone.

He held the young woman's waist with one arm, used his other hand to straighten his shirt collar that had been grabbed into wrinkles, and said, "It's getting late; whatever you have to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. Second Young Master Gu has been flying for over ten hours; he should rest."

After speaking, he raised his voice to call for a maid.

"Take Second Young Master Gu to the guest room."

The maid stepped forward respectfully: "Second Young Master Gu, please follow me."

Gu Lin still wanted to say something, but Gu Yan hurriedly made frantic faces at him.

He withdrew his hand tremblingly, looked at his sister, then at Shen Yanhui, and ultimately chose to shut his mouth and follow the maid upstairs.

The second-floor hallway was very quiet, covered in thick carpet.

The maid stopped in front of a door: "This is your room. Next door is Miss Gu's room."

Gu Yan had followed them up, and upon hearing this, she added: "Brother, get some good rest; we'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Shen Yanhui held Gu Yan's waist, preparing to walk toward the master bedroom.

Gu Lin suddenly reached out to stop them: "Wait... you two are staying together tonight?"

Shen Yanhui glanced at him, his gaze like that of someone looking at a fool who had asked a stupid question.

But Gu Yan broke free from his arm before he could speak: "No! I'm staying in the guest room, right next to yours."

After saying this, she walked quickly to the door next door, pressed down the handle to open it, not daring to look at Shen Yanhui the entire time.

"Goodnight!" she said, then slipped into the room and closed the door with a "click."

Only the two men were left in the hallway.

Shen Yanhui stood with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at Gu Yan's tightly closed door, the corners of his lips curling up imperceptibly.

Then he looked at Gu Lin: "Second Young Master Gu, get some rest early."

Having said that, he turned and walked straight toward the master bedroom at the end of the hallway, entered, and closed the door.

The movement was smooth and fluid.

Gu Lin stood at his own doorway, looking at the direction of the master bedroom where Shen Yanhui had disappeared, then looked at Gu Yan's tightly closed door, his brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.

Something wasn't right.

These two were definitely not right.

But he had been flying for over ten hours, and he was truly too tired for his brain to function.

Forget it.

Talk about it tomorrow.

——

Gu Yan discovered that after getting used to sleeping while holding someone, she actually couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning by herself.

The quilt was uncomfortable, the pillow was uncomfortable, everything was uncomfortable.

She remembered her action of pushing Shen Yanhui away without hesitation just now and felt she should go coax him.

Yes, she had to coax him.

It was definitely not because she wanted to sleep while holding him.

She immediately threw off the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the door, pulled it open, and then suddenly froze.

Shen Yanhui was standing outside the door, holding a spare key, his fingertips hovering before the keyhole.

The two met eyes.

He raised an eyebrow: "Looking for me?"

Gu Yan opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was pulled by the waist and pushed into the room.

The door closed behind her and was locked.

Shen Yanhui turned her around and pressed her against the door panel, tossed the key aside, and pressed his lips down.

His hand gripped the back of her neck, forcing her to tilt her head to endure it, his tongue prying open her teeth to entwine with hers lingeringly.

Gu Yan felt very comfortable being kissed, and her hands instinctively climbed onto his shoulders.

Shen Yanhui, however, pulled away, bent down to pick her up, placed her gently on the bed, and pulled the quilt over to cover her.

"Sleep." His voice was low and hoarse as he lay down himself.

Gu Yan: "..."

She blinked, then blinked again.

No... that's it?

He had teased her until she was burning hot and her breathing was chaotic, and he said to sleep?

Gu Yan wasn't having it.

She suddenly threw off the quilt, turned over, and straddled Shen Yanhui. In the darkness, she couldn't see his expression, but she could feel his body tense up instantly.

"Gu Yan, get down." Shen Yanhui's voice deepened, carrying a warning.

Gu Yan ignored him, pulled open the lapels of his bathrobe, and kissed him wildly.

"Gu Yan." Shen Yanhui called her name again, his hand gripping her wrist.

"Don't move," Gu Yan said fiercely.

Shen Yanhui was silent for two seconds, then let go.

Gu Yan continued kissing, moving further and further down, sliding over his abdominal muscles, feeling his breathing grow heavier and heavier.

Until...

Her movements paused.

Shen Yanhui spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "You can't blame me; with you like this, there's no way I wouldn't have a reaction."

Gu Yan's face burned intensely; in truth, she had a reaction too.

But she just didn't want to let him control the rhythm.

Today, she wanted to do it herself and try the feeling of taking the initiative. But when it came to the critical moment, she retreated. Their sizes didn't match; relying on her alone wouldn't work at all.

She looked up, dazed, her eyes veiled in a layer of moisture, looking at him aggrievedly.

Shen Yanhui sighed.

"Come here," he said in a hoarse voice, his hand stroking her waist.

"Didn't you tell me to take the initiative..." Gu Yan muttered softly.

"Well, aren't you unable to? I'm helping you; how does that not count as you taking the initiative?"

Gu Yan still wanted to keep talking, but someone didn't give her the chance.

An hour later, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

She went limp on his body, crying and begging for mercy: "Enough, really, that's enough..."

Shen Yanhui, unable to handle her crying, sat up and kissed the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Little did he know, this action made Gu Yan's entire body stiffen for a moment. She couldn't help but bite into his shoulder, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth.

——

Gu Lin had a good night's sleep and felt refreshed.

Just as he walked out the door, he saw the door next door open.

Shen Yanhui walked out wearing a bathrobe; seeing him, his footsteps paused: "Second Young Master Gu, you're up quite early."

Gu Lin: "..."

His fingers trembled again, "You... you... you..."

Shen Yanhui raised a hand to adjust his bathrobe collar, his tone calm: "What about me?"

Gu Lin was stunned; so righteous and confident?

He gritted his teeth and asked: "Didn't you go back to the master bedroom last night?!"

"Mm," Shen Yanhui nodded, "but I came back out later."

"You..."

"The guest room sheets aren't soft enough," Shen Yanhui said as if it were only natural, "Yanyan isn't used to sleeping on them, so I went to check."

Gu Lin laughed in anger: "You checked for the whole night?"

"Just about."

After Shen Yanhui finished speaking, he ignored Gu Lin's expression, which was on the verge of exploding, and turned to walk toward the master bedroom. He took two steps and stopped, turning back to add:

"Right, breakfast starts at eight. Yanyan might get up late, don't go and disturb her."

"She didn't sleep well last night and has a bad temper when she wakes up."
