Chapter 138 I'm Not a Bed

The deafening music came like a tide, and the lights in the bar flickered and reflected on people's excited and intoxicated faces.

A man was half-lying in front of the bar with several empty bottles in front of him. He was obviously drunk, but he kept pouring wine into his mouth.

"Mu Qing, stop drinking. If you continue drinking, it won't change the reality."

The man ignored his companions' advice and continued drinking.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but after chasing for so many years, you still let someone else get there first. You're really lame."

Gu Muqing was already somewhat dazed, his eyes blurry and unable to focus, muttering to himself, "I didn't lose to him, I lost to her..."

"What about him? Don't think about it. The wedding date has been set. Don't worry about it."

Gu Muqing obviously couldn't listen to him anymore and kept talking to himself.

"My dear..."

"Why after all these years, you still can't see me..."

"What's so good about that man? He married you just to get revenge on you..."

"You will suffer if you marry him..."

"...He can't bring you happiness at all, only I can..."

After saying this, the man was already drunk and unconscious.

His companion Qiao Kangan lifted him up and walked outside.

I could still hear him muttering a name that he had called all night long, "Qingqing..."

Qiao Kangan rolled his eyes and said, "No one can hear you even if you read it again."

He took a taxi to send the man back to his apartment, put him on the bed, and then Qiao Kangan left.

Gu Muqing had a severe headache, but his spirit was extremely excited.

He took out his cell phone from his coat, followed his memory, and dialed the number that he had already memorized.

The phone rang many times, but no one answered.

He didn't give up and continued to call. This time the call was finally picked up, and the voice he had been longing for came from the receiver.

"Hello?"

Su Mi had just come out of the shower when she heard her cell phone ringing and picked it up immediately.

But there was no sound at all.

She glanced at the note on her phone and frowned, "Brother Mu Qing?"

It was still quiet on the other side.

Su Mi asked again, "Are you there?"

Still no response.

She thought she must have dialed the wrong number by mistake and hung up the phone.

Gu Mucheng listened to the busy tone on the phone and could no longer hear her voice, so he had to put the phone down.

He murmured, "Qingqing... I just want to hear your voice."

…

Su Mi dried her hair and just lay down on the bed when the phone on the bedside table rang again.

This time she checked the caller ID.

It’s Xiao Xuanjin’s call.

Why did he call suddenly?

She couldn't help but think of the online reports during this period. In this marriage, he gave her and the Su family enough face.

No matter what the original intention of this marriage was, he gave both parties enough dignity.

I swiped my finger across the screen to answer the call, "Hello?"

"Are you asleep?"

Xiao Xuanjin's voice was still as slow and calm as ever, but it always gave people the illusion of being electrified, swirling in the cochlea.

"Not yet, but I'm getting ready for bed."

Speaking of which, since they started talking about marriage, neither of them has spoken to each other on the phone, as if they were not getting married.

If this gets out, it will probably shock the media.

"So early?"

Su Mi looked at the time. It was already half past ten in the evening. It was almost time to go to bed. It was getting late.

"What can I do for you?"

"I'm at the gate of Su Mansion."

Su Mi was startled and sat up immediately, "What did you say?"

"Well, come out."

Su Mi was puzzled. Why did he come here suddenly? Also, you are the Su family's son-in-law, after all, and why are you standing at the door?

This always feels sneaky.

He seemed to have guessed her thoughts, "It's late, I don't want to disturb my uncle and aunt."

"Then wait for me."

Su Mi hung up the phone, got off the bed, put on a beige windbreaker and went downstairs.

The Su Mansion was very large, and she needed to walk from the center of the courtyard to the front of the courtyard, and then to the door.

Along the way, she didn't know why she was so anxious. She quickened her pace unconsciously, very anxiously. The rustling wind blew into her ears, shaking her heartstrings.

After finally reaching the door, the patrolling security guard saw her coming out and was about to speak, but Su Mi whispered to him that she was just going out for a while.

The security guard glanced at the cars parked outside, understood what she meant, and nodded.

Su Mi came out of the gate and saw Xiao Xuanjin wearing a black shirt with the collar open a few times and straight suit pants. He was leaning against a black car, smoking with his head down, looking very ostentatious.

Su Mi raised her hand to tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, then walked towards him.

Xiao Xuanjin looked up as if he had noticed something.

Under the street light, he glanced at her with a deep gaze, then put out his cigarette.

Su Mi straightened her coat and walked up to him, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Xuanjin took a look at her clothes. A long white lace nightgown was covered by a windbreaker, exposing her ankles. Her delicate and fair skin was glowing.

She was still wearing slippers, which showed that she was in a hurry to get out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanjin smiled faintly, "Is it not disturbing you?"

This question was actually very unfamiliar, and far away from their relationship which was about to enter into marriage.

"No, I'm not asleep yet anyway."

Xiao Xuanjin raised his hand to tidy up a strand of hair that had been raised unruly from her temples. His gesture was intimate, as if they were really a couple in love. "Seeing your fiancé come so late, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Meaning? Su Mi didn't understand what he meant for a moment, and stood there in a daze, looking at him in confusion.

Xiao Xuanjin opened his arms, tilted his head, and said in a lazy tone, "Hmm?"

The implication is already obvious.

Su Mi thought of her previous promise, she said she would listen to him in everything.

You took a step forward, slowly wrapped your arms around his waist, and rested your head in his arms.

That's probably what he meant.

His arms were warm, just like before, and had a light scent of cedar, which was pleasant.

The moment she threw herself into his arms, he closed his arms and placed his big palms on her shoulders.

Neither of them spoke.

The night was quiet, and under the dim light of the street lamp, two shadows leaned against each other.

Su Mi closed her eyes and felt herself being wrapped in warmth, her limbs stretched out, and she remembered that she had been attached to such warmth before.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanjin's voice came from above his head, "I'm not a bed, don't fall asleep."

When he suddenly opened his eyes, the warmth on his back had gone, but she was still holding him tightly.

He hurriedly let go and took a half step back.

Without raising her eyes, she knew that Xiao Xuanjin must be laughing at her at this moment.
