This kiss lasted for around half an hour. When it ended, he even wished to continue and pecked her on the lips. His eyes were filled with satisfaction. “They’re now clean, and it was all because of my breath.”

Yun Jianyue was short of breath, and she felt that even her lips weren’t her own. They were both limp and numb. And his words made her cheeks burn even more.

These eyes, this tone; they were that of a tyrannical president. Even if it was the heart of a female pig, its heart would still be unable to take it and beat chaotically. What’s more, she was still a twenty-four-year-old girl who just happened to be in love.

Gu Zhishen took her into his embrace. He called Xu Shi on his phone and hung up after three rings. Not long after, Xu Shi came back, started the car, and brought Yun Jianyue back to the Yun residence.

The journey home was very quiet, as no one spoke. Yun Jianyue had already gotten used to being held by him like this. It was because it was useless even if she opposed it. It was better to save her strength!

The car stopped not far from the Yun household. Before Yun Jianyue got out of the car, she lifted her head to look at him. She drummed up her courage and finally asked the question she’d been holding in through the journey. “You registered your marriage with me—Is it also because I’m Yun Xiaotian’s daughter?”

Did it mean that if she wasn’t Yun Xiaotian’s daughter and she casually gave herself to him that night, he wouldn’t have chosen to register his marriage with her?

Gu Zhishen’s complexion was slightly stunned. He probably never would’ve thought she would suddenly ask such a question.

Under the dim light, his deep eyes and her crystal eyes looked at each other. He didn’t want to lie to her and nodded. “Yes.”

If she weren’t Yun Xiaotian’s daughter, no matter what happened, he wouldn’t have chosen her as his wife. Even if they’d had relations!

“Oh!” Yun Jianyue nodded. She smiled as if nothing happened. “Thank you for sending me back. Goodbye.”

She also said goodbye to Xu Shi. The moment she got out of the car, the smile at the corner of her mouth sunk down.

Gu Zhishen fixed his eyes on her back as she moved further and further away. It was as if she was escaping in a panic. His sharp eyebrows moved up. Could it be she was unhappy?

The smile just now was really so ugly.

Xu Shi, who was in the front seat, hesitated for a while and then opened his mouth carefully, “President Gu, your words just now seemed too direct.”

Gu Zhishen frowned. Were they?

“I don’t like to lie!” Especially when facing that pair of crystal clear eyes. He really didn’t want to hide it from her.

With the position of the Gu family in Harbin today, with Gu Zhishen’s status, his wife could look average, have an average job, have average abilities, but she definitely couldn’t have average status. If her status was average, she already wouldn’t be able to get through the first obstacle—his mother.

Cinderella only existed in the movies. Reality only had cruelty; there were no fairy tales!

What more, no matter how confident an average woman was, when facing a rich and powerful family like the Gu family, she would feel inferior in her heart and have no self-confidence. She would become sensitive, careful, or perhaps suspicious. He didn’t have so much free labor to take great pains to coax a woman. It was too tiring.

His wife only needed to display her status. As long as she didn’t make him mad or cause any problems for him, he was willing to close one eye to everything else.

Xu Shi heard him, grudgingly curled his mouth, and sighed secretly!

After Yun Jianyue bathed, she lay facedown on the bed and called Zhu Jingyi. She told her what happened and sighed heavily at the end. “Darling Zhu, do you think I should tell him the truth?”

On the other side of the call, Zhu Jingyi stayed silent for a while and then asked, hitting the nail on the head, “Darling, it can’t be that you started liking Gu Zhishen, right?”

“How is that possible?” Yun Jianyue subconsciously blurted out to refute, “Darling Zhu, don’t speak nonsense. How could I like Gu Zhishen? We’ve only known each other for a few days!”

Moreover, how long had it been since she broke up with Su Xu? How could she suddenly like Gu Zhishen? She didn’t even understand him in the slightest!

This wasn’t science!

It especially made her appear very loose as if she had a disposition as changeable as water!

“Why are you so agitated? Do you know it’s an honor for you to start liking Gu Zhishen!” Zhu Jingyi let out a snort in disdain. She used a sentence to wake up a person in a dream, “Could it be you didn’t notice you always talk about Gu Zhishen whenever you open your mouth; you rarely bring up Su Xu! The time you were sad after you broke up with Su Xu probably didn’t exceed one week…” 

Emm…

Yun Jianyue thought about it seriously. It seemed it really was as Zhu Jingyi said. However, a dead duck’s mouth is hard.1 “But it’s also impossible for me to start liking Gu Zhishen! I definitely won’t!”

“Stop showing off in front of me! You don’t like him. I like him. Why don’t you give him to me? I’ve wanted to sleep with him for a long time.”

“Darling Zhu, your morals fell onto the floor again. Quickly pick them up.”

“What a joke; I don’t have any morals. How could they fall?” Zhu Jingyi was proud of not having morals. After she finished, she stopped and then said seriously, “Darling, let me tell you, don’t tell Gu Zhishen. It’s unnecessary! A person like him, who’s experienced in the affairs of the heart, if he knew the truth, he would definitely dump you immediately! I don’t think you feel being dumped once wasn’t enough and you’d want to get divorced as well within a month, right?!”

“Divorce? I seek but fail to get…”

Before she finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from behind her, “What seek but fail to get?”

Yun Jianyue was so frightened that her body trembled and the phone fell onto the bed. She immediately turned around and sat on the bed. She saw Chen Xiaoxiao carrying a tray, and her heart skipped a beat. “Mom, why didn’t you knock when you came in?”

The rules in the Yun household were very strict. Not only did the children need to knock when they wanted to see their parents, but the parents also needed to knock if they wanted to see the children.

“I knocked, but you were too immersed in chatting on the phone that you didn’t hear! Who are you chatting to?” Chen Xiaoxiao placed the tray on the bedside table.

Really? A trace of suspicion crossed Yun Jianyun’s heart. She replied as she hung up the phone, “It’s Jingyi. I don’t have other friends besides her.”

Chen Xiaoxiao didn’t get too tangled up in this question. She gave her a bowl of supplement soup. “I saw you’ve been busy with work recently, and this is the soup I asked Auntie Wen to make specially for you.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Yun Jianyue stretched out her hand to take the soup and lowered her head to drink it.

After she took two sips, she heard Chen Xiaoxiao say in a casual, chatting manner, “Why haven’t I seen Su Xu send you back home recently?”

Hearing about Su Xu from Chen Xiaoxiao’s mouth all of a sudden caused Yun Jianyun to almost choke.

This was bad! Mom and Dad completely didn’t know about the break up between her and Su Xu!

Chen Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything more. She just quietly gave a stare with deep meaning to Yun Jianyue.

“He…he’s been busy with work recently and doesn’t have time!” Yun Jianyue covered up her own panic and guilt while she found a random excuse, wanting to brush it off!

“Is that so?” Chen Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, appearing to believe her but not really. She said, “Ask him to come to eat at our house in two days!”

“Huh?”

Before Yun Jianyue could take it in, she heard her say again, “Friday, then. Your father doesn’t have any social obligations on Friday night!”

“But…I thought you always didn’t like him?” Yun Jianyue felt this was absurd.

Ever since she and Su Xu had officially become a couple, although she didn’t hide it from her parents, Chen Xiaoxiao and Yun Xiaotian’s attitude toward it was unanimous, which was unusual. They both didn’t approve of her being with Su Xu.

Although they didn’t approve, they didn’t forcefully oppose it. They were just more strict in their control. She wasn’t allowed to go on vacations with Su Xu, and she wasn’t allowed to stay out overnight.

Why did she suddenly bring up Su Xu and take the initiative to ask him to have a meal at their house?
