Chapter 400: Chapter 399 Let’s Get Married (5)
Zhou Yalin’s face turned pale as she was being scolded. She dared not retort, nodding repeatedly, then stood up and followed after him.
Zhou Yalin called out to Gu Ningyi at the study door. Her dark eyes fixed steadily on him, her pretty face tensed as she spoke in a deep voice, "Ning Yi, let’s talk."
Gu Ningyi glanced at her indifferently and did not object, "Alright."
The two of them went up to the second-floor terrace. Gu Ningyi lazily leaned against the railing, his posture relaxed and his expression indifferent, his dark eyes as deep and unreadable as ever.
The wall lamp cast a faint light, partially illuminating his profile, accentuating his features with depth and elegance. As Zhou Yalin looked at him, the resentment in her heart quickly dissipated.
This was the man she deeply loved; how could she truly be angry with him?
Zhou Yalin curved her lips into a smile, her eyes gradually tinged with tenderness. She suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Gu Ningyi closely, saying passionately, "Ning Yi, I miss you so much."
Gu Ningyi hadn’t expected her sudden embrace. His face turned cold, and disgust flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t immediately push her away. Instead, he curled his lips coldly and responded indifferently, "Really?"
Nestled in Gu Ningyi’s arms, inhaling the cool masculine scent from his body, Zhou Yalin’s heart suddenly boiled over, her body following suit, growing hot.
That day, he had pinned her on the bed—his thin lips inching closer and closer, enveloping her with his aura. Even though he hadn’t kissed her, that scene was enough to let her imagination run wild, dreams filling her mind.
Every night these past days, when she closed her eyes, she would recall that scene, and each time she thought of it, she couldn’t help but feel her body heat up, her body soften, her mind painting images of her with Ning Yi.
For so many years, Ning Yi hadn’t touched a single strand of her hair. Though she was a woman, she too had fantasies, desires, and the anticipation of the deep love’s kiss and caress.
She could no longer bear it, nor could she wait anymore. She wanted to marry him, to become his real woman, his wife.
As she thought over this, she hugged Gu Ningyi even tighter, nodding heavily, "Yes, I think of you all the time, and you, do you think of me?"
Gu Ningyi’s expression grew colder, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and finally, all he offered was a derisive laugh.
Zhou Yalin, immersed in Gu Ningyi’s embrace, didn’t detect his emotions. Hearing his laughter, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
She thought to herself, was there really any problem between her and Ning Yi?
Just now, he... maybe he was just not used to being so intimate in front of everyone? After all, he had always been aloof and indifferent.
Zhou Yalin figured it out, her heart pounding even more. Today, Mrs. Gu had called them back to discuss their marriage. She thought, surely this time he wouldn’t refuse?
But just in case, she decided to talk to him first.
Zhou Yalin blinked her beautiful big eyes, her voice soft and flowing like water, her red lips slightly parted as she enunciated each word slowly, "Ning Yi, let’s get married."
It seemed she had been waiting just for this sentence.
Gu Ningyi’s hand grasped Zhou Yalin’s shoulder, exerting a slight pressure, and then mercilessly pulled her away.
Zhou Yalin, caught off guard, staggered back several steps, looking at Gu Ningyi in astonishment.
On Gu Ningyi’s handsome face, there was a faint smile, his lips curled with a wicked charm, replying each word slowly, "Marriage? Do you deserve it?"
