Chapter 173 Is Chocolate Sweet?

"How much older is he than you? Or the same age, or a year younger?" Dan's mother estimated that if the boy was a college student, he was either a senior or a classmate.

Gu Ji was now stumped. He could give a vague answer to the previous question, but he couldn't just say that Gu Ji was only a year or two older.

That's not just concealment, it's a genuine act of deception.

Gu Ji opened his mouth again and again, just as he was about to close his eyes and grit his teeth to answer, the door was pushed open.

Dan Anwen walked in and saw that the scene was relatively harmonious, which eased the tension in his heart.

On his way here, he was worried that the child wouldn't be able to hold on and would admit it.

He knew his mother's temper more or less; she hated deception and concealment more than anything in her life. If the kid were to admit it now, there was a high chance she would explode on the spot.

There's no one here who can act as a peacemaker to stop the irrational mother.

"Anwen, what brings you here?" Mother Dan looked at Gu Ji, whose head was almost touching the ground, with suspicion, and then she understood everything. "You know Zhao Zhao is in a relationship?"

"I know." Dan Anwen tried his best to keep his voice steady so that his mother wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Mother Dan shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Why don't you tell your family? I could help Zhaozhao take a look. What if that boy is a liar?"

Dan's mother wasn't angry that Gu Ji had kept his relationship a secret. Her first reaction was the same as Dan Si's: she wanted to know who the boy was and whether he was a con artist.

Dan Anwen calmly replied, "I want to wait until they've both settled down before telling my family, to avoid any unforeseen problems."

This statement was automatically interpreted by Danmu as meaning that nothing was even started yet, and the relationship hadn't reached the point of meeting the parents.

Dan Anwen: This is your own understanding.

The mother agreed with this point, after all, it's not too late to meet each other's parents when you're already discussing marriage.

"Then I also need to know Zhao Zhao's boyfriend's basic information, so he won't be deceived," Dan's mother said worriedly.

Dan Anwen quietly squeezed Gu Ji's sweaty palm, her tone still indifferent, "I've met that person, he's not a liar, so you don't need to worry. When the time is right, we'll meet naturally."

Seeing that the two were unwilling to say more in front of her, Danmu stopped asking.

She trusted her son's judgment in judging people. If a guy could be Zhao Zhao's boyfriend for a while, he must have some redeeming qualities. Otherwise, who knows how many times he would have died.

"Once the relationship is stable, bring him to meet me as soon as possible." This was clearly a message from Dan's mother to Gu Ji.

Gu Ji blinked, her tone a little awkward, "I understand, Grandma. I'll bring it to you to see later."

"Good to know. Also, I agree to you dating, but there are some things you can't do right now, you know? You need to know your limits." Dan's mother was still worried, afraid that her innocent and naive daughter would be deceived.

In Danmu's eyes, Dan Shuwen and Dan Anwen were still children, so how could she not worry about Gu Ji, who had just started university?

"I know." Gu Ji glanced discreetly at Dan Anwen, who stood calmly beside him.

After receiving the message, Dan Anwen said to his mother, "Mom, I'm taking the kids home now. You should come home early after get off work too."

Danmu waved at them impatiently; she had another class to teach later.

Once outside the office, Gu Ji let out a heavy sigh of relief and took deep breaths.

"Are you so worried that she won't support our relationship?" Dan Anwen asked, amused.

Gu Ji shook his muddled head. "I'm not so worried about Grandma not supporting our relationship now, but I'm worried about her finding out we've kept it a secret from her for six months."

She suddenly realized that when she chose to hide it, she was full of worries that her mother would not support or obstruct her, and she did not consider that her mother would be angry that she had been deceived.

Dan Anwen rubbed her head. "That's why I didn't admit it today. She just found out you're dating someone. If I told her right away that your boyfriend is me, she would definitely be angry."

"Mmm." Gu Ji knew as well.

Dan Anwen lowered his eyes and said, "The New Year is coming soon. I will choose a suitable time to confess. You should prepare yourself mentally in advance."

He felt that he should find some reliable outside help before revealing the truth.

"I'm almost ready, I'm available anytime." Gu Ji looked up into the man's dark eyes.

Dan Anwen smiled and said, "Okay, I will start preparing the process for the confession."

Only by minimizing the risks and keeping the entire situation under his own control can he feel at ease telling his mother and the others about his relationship with the children.

Otherwise, admitting it without preparation would be tantamount to courting death.

......

"Little friend, would you like chocolate or candy?" Dan Anwen leaned back on the sofa, his large, well-defined hands gently rubbing the head that was resting on his lap.

Gu Ji's gaze remained fixed on the movie screen, his eyes not wavering for a moment. "Anything is fine."

Dan Anwen lowered her eyes, raised her lips slightly, and without saying a word, picked up a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth.

Gu Ji caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye. "Didn't you ask..."

She was about to say that it wasn't for her to eat when her head was lifted up and her chattering mouth was silenced.

A hint of bitterness filled my mouth, mixed with a lingering sweetness, the two flavors lingering and swirling between my lips and teeth.

The girl unconsciously clung to the man's shoulders, her legs, covered by a blanket, slightly bent. As if sensing this, the man hugged the girl even tighter, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.

The passionate kiss didn't stop at the lips and teeth. In winter, men are even more unrestrained. They don't have to worry about the ambiguous marks on the girl's body being discovered, so they recklessly imprint their marks on her body.

The dense, lustful hickeys on her neck were a testament to the man's sins. Her long, swan-like neck, delicate, fair shoulders, alluring collarbones, and even her beautifully pert buttocks were all imbued with his scent.

The girl leaned against the man, her entire body almost completely encircled in his arms, sitting on his strong thighs, where she could vaguely feel his heat.

After the passionate kiss ended, the girl opened her eyes, which were filled with tears and endless accusation. She felt that he was too unrestrained and had not shown any restraint even in Danyuan.

After the man pulled away from the girl's lips, he took control of her delicate body, her soft flesh almost entirely contained within his strong arms.

"Is the chocolate sweet?" Dan Anwen asked, raising an eyebrow, a lingering desire in his eyes, his tone gentle and tender.

Gu Ji's voice was slightly breathless, clearly indicating that he hadn't recovered from the kiss. "Uncle Dan, you need to be careful."

They watched a movie for over an hour in a private theater, and the man had kissed her countless times.
