Wait for her?

Forget it!

Gu Yuan completely ignored him.

After coming out of the bathroom, she took some of her clothes from Chi Yu’s suitcase. He always picked well, choosing the ones she usually loved to wear.

Hmm, she liked them a lot.

After a long wait, Chi Yu finally came out leisurely, wearing the waffle-patterned bathrobe provided by the hotel, in an off-white color. It was a large size but fit him perfectly.

His hair was still wet, and his eyes listlessly exuded allure. The mole at the corner of his eye was his secret weapon, always effective in seduction.

He walked up to her, and Gu Yuan handed him a clean towel: "Dry your hair first, then blow-dry it. The hairdryer is over there."

Chi Yu took the towel, draped it over his head, and bent down close to Gu Yuan, pulling the towel over her as well.

He gave her a kiss.

A secretive kiss, as if afraid someone might see it.

Gu Yuan: "There’s no one else here."

His eyes were filled with the vast galaxy of the universe, "So does that mean I can kiss you as much as I want tonight?"

Gu Yuan replied softly, "You wish."

Chi Yu’s voice turned into a playful whine, reverting to his usual rascal demeanor: "Yuanyuan, you’re going back on your word."

Gu Yuan almost collapsed.

She took the towel off their heads and started heading towards the bathroom.

Behind her came Chi Yu’s lazy yet deliberately teasing voice: "Yuanyuan."

Gu Yuan: "You’d better behave yourself tonight, or find somewhere else to stay."

He chuckled lowly, unable to contain his laughter, "I just wanted to remind you, you forgot to take your undergarments with you."

She turned around.

And saw Chi Yu holding her bra and...

Gu Yuan had always liked black lingerie, suiting her style, unbeknownst to her, it pleased a certain man immensely.

She stepped forward to take it, but Chi Yu drew his hand back.

With a teasing attitude, made the veins in Gu Yuan’s forehead throb lightly.

"Chi Yu!"

"Hey, Yuanyuan."

"Give it to me."

"Here you go."

This time he obediently handed them over, not daring to risk angering her further in case he really got kicked out!

As Gu Yuan prepared to head to the bathroom with her undergarments, Chi Yu, like a little lackey, trailed behind her to the bathroom door, leaning on the doorframe, grinning with a flushed face:

"Very sexy!"

"..."

Gu Yuan didn’t take a bath; she quickly took a combat-style shower.

When she came out, Chi Yu was already lying on the king-size bed, waiting for her.

"Yuanyuan, come quickly~" Chi Yu was waving her over.

Seeing his face looking ready for a little pampering, Gu Yuan held her forehead in exasperation. Even though their relationship had officially reconciled, she didn’t plan on getting intimate with him tonight. She tried to negotiate, "How about I book you another room?"

Chi Yu’s face changed instantly.

He asked with a sullen face, "Why... do I take up too much space, like I weigh 300 pounds, or something?"

"Or do I have spikes on my body that might prick you?"

"Or maybe I smell so bad you can’t stand it?"

He added to the last one, "Yuanyuan, I admit I didn’t shower last night, rushed to Sydney, so I might have a scent, but I took a long bath tonight, and I smell nice now. You can come smell if you don’t believe me."

Then, Chi Yu pulled back the quilt, patted the pillow next to him, and said, "Yuanyuan, come on, I promise I won’t do anything to you tonight."

Gu Yuan: "..."

When there’s only one room, one bed, if Chi Yu’s words can be trusted, pigs would really fly.

She was just short of saying that.

Since the possibility of booking another suite was nearly zero, she decided to take a step back, "You take the bed, I’ll sleep on the sofa."

After saying that.

Chi Yu sat up quickly.

His voice rising as he asked, "You’re going to sleep on the sofa?"

Gu Yuan calmly responded with a yes.

Chi Yu rolled off the bed, and seeing his stance, Gu Yuan thought he was going to come on strong. In the moment he came over, Gu Yuan thought if he really wanted to, then so be it.

It would just be tiring, because he lacked restraint.

This was why Gu Yuan was so insistent on not sharing a bed with him tonight.

His stamina was too good.

So good it left her psychologically scarred, plus she had things to do tomorrow.

Until Chi Yu walked past her, saying, "I’ll sleep on the sofa then. Spending your money, making you sleep on the sofa, I couldn’t justify that in any way."

Gu Yuan was surprised to see him so obedient and cooperative.

But since he was willing to sleep on the sofa, she was happy.

Gu Yuan lay on the bed, feeling sleepy quickly. She hadn’t rested well for the past few days, and as soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep.

The suite was large.

The sofa was outside.

Meanwhile, outside on the sofa, Chi Yu had no pillow or blanket, lying there with his long legs unable to stretch out straight.

He tossed and turned.

In short, he couldn’t sleep.

So he got up, tiptoed inside to take a look at the already sleeping Gu Yuan, then quietly slipped onto the bed, moving so as not to make a sound.

As he lay down, the soft bed dented slightly, creating noticeable movement.

He glanced at the woman beside him.

Seeing she was not disturbed, still asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Yu thought his restlessness was due to not being in the same bed as her, but after ten minutes or so, he realized he was still wide awake.

His body felt increasingly warm.

The woman he loved so much was right beside him, and he had to remain as calm as a saint—it was torture.

He silently told his little brother: Don’t get up, there’s nothing here.

But what was the meaning of that eager, expectant posture?

Just then, the person next to him moved.

Gu Yuan turned over, facing Chi Yu.

Chi Yu dared not move, until Gu Yuan, uncomfortable in that position, turned back over, allowing his tense nerves to relax a bit.

He gently inched closer to Gu Yuan.

Stopping when only a few centimeters separated them, he then cautiously extended his hand to rest it on her shoulder for nearly a minute, observing her lack of reaction, emboldening him to snuggle closer.

Until—

He pulled her into his embrace.

Gu Yuan: "..."

Though drowsy, she wasn’t the type to not notice someone getting into her bed.

She’d heard the noise when Chi Yu climbed into bed.

Repeatedly testing, hesitating, until now, he was hugging her with his burning-hot body, making Gu Yuan feel hot too.

It was genuinely hot, as his body temperature transferred, and embracing Gu Yuan, how could she not feel it?

Gu Yuan knew she shouldn’t move at this moment, otherwise, if she woke, she’d give him an excuse to misbehave.

But how could she have known that the man behind her, as he hugged her, couldn’t stop his sneaky hand from slipping beneath her skirt, fingers pausing at her waist, gently stroking, then continuing upwards...

If he were simply holding her to sleep, it would be one thing.

But now, Gu Yuan couldn’t remain still, because her physiological reaction made pretending to sleep impossible.

She directly held his hand as it climbed higher, but he took the opportunity to pull her towards himself, pressing her beneath him, his knee finding a spot where Gu Yuan couldn’t retreat, whispering hoarsely in her ear, "Yuanyuan, I know you’re awake."

Gu Yuan: "...You’re making me unhappy, what kind of sneak attack is this?"

He shamelessly replied: "You seduced me first."

"Me? When did I..."

"Right now." He took hold of her hand, "I have something to discuss with you, my little brother is hungry and waiting to be fed."

Gu Yuan: "..."
