A week later, Yan Shengxiao successfully completed the discharge procedures.

Yan Mingzhong arranged a special car to escort Yan Shengxiao home. When they arrived at the Yan family's old residence, a group of servants even stood in two rows to welcome the young master home. It was so grand that it was almost like an enthronement ceremony.

These servants were not usually so obedient to Gu Qingqiu, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Yan Shengxiao was already able to walk normally, but for some reason, after getting out of the car, he leaned towards Gu Qingqiu, forcing Gu Qingqiu to take his arm and help him walk. So he was subjected to the gazes of the servants along the way in this posture.

Back in the room, Gu Qingqiu tried to pull her hand away, but Yan Shengxiao pulled her into his arms.

Gu Qingqiu saw Yan Shengxiao's handsome face suddenly loom large in front of her, his warm breath spraying against her neck, and her heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

Yan Shengxiao was very pleased with her appearance. He leaned closer and gently nibbled on Gu Qingqiu's earlobe, calling her, "Little Bride."

Gu Qingqiu trembled, unsure how to react, and could only helplessly reach out and grab Yan Shengxiao's collar.

Yan Shengxiao saw this cooperative gesture as an invitation. His eyes reddened, his breathing became heavy, and his kisses moved from her earlobe to the corner of Gu Qingqiu's mouth, lingering on her chin.

"Was that on purpose?" Gu Qingqiu retorted defiantly, tilting her head back and planting a kiss on Yan Shengxiao's Adam's apple.

Yan Shengxiao paused for two seconds, then suddenly bent down and picked up Gu Qingqiu.

Gu Qingqiu gasped in surprise, clinging tightly to Yan Shengxiao's neck in fear of falling. As Yan Shengxiao approached the bedside, Gu Qingqiu regained a sliver of reason, "Let...let me take a shower!"

Yan Shengxiao seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but he obediently turned a corner and headed towards the bathroom, then placed Gu Qingqiu on the sink.

Gu Qingqiu nervously gripped the hem of her skirt as she watched Yan Shengxiao unbutton his shirt one button at a time, revealing his powerful chest.

It's so unfair! How come Yan Shengxiao's physique hasn't changed at all after lying around like a corpse for so long? Even his abs and V-line are still there!

Although she had witnessed Yan Shengxiao's behavior many times while bathing him, Gu Qingqiu simply couldn't appreciate him as a beautiful doll when he was awake!

Yan Shengxiao's gaze right now... made Gu Qingqiu feel like prey being stared at by a cheetah, filled with a sense of danger, and she couldn't help but want to run away. "Um... you go ahead and wash up..."

Just as Gu Qingqiu was about to jump off the sink and escape, Yan Shengxiao sensed her intention first, took a step forward, and blocked Gu Qingqiu with his body, "Little bride...you want to run away?"

Intuition told Gu Qingqiu that if she chose the wrong answer at this moment, she would definitely be punished by Yan Shengxiao, so she could only deny it and say, "I didn't... um!"

Little did she know that Yan Shengxiao didn't want to hear her answer at all. Instead, a domineering kiss descended upon her, forcing Gu Qingqiu to tilt her head back slightly and open her mouth to feel Yan Shengxiao's fierce plunder.

Yan Shengxiao's kissing skills were practically self-taught; he didn't seem like someone who had never been in a relationship. His kiss was domineering yet lingering, leaving Gu Qingqiu feeling dizzy. In comparison, her act of stealing a kiss on Yan Shengxiao's cheek seemed like a child playing house.

Before she knew it, Gu Qingqiu had taken off most of her clothes. Gu Qingqiu felt Yan Shengxiao's broad and warm hand resting on her waist, and the other hand... seemed to be untying her bra strap.

Alarm bells rang in Gu Qingqiu's mind, but things had already developed to this point. If she rejected Yan Shengxiao, it would seem like she was being too dramatic. They were already husband and wife, and everything they did was normal.

Although she only has a little over two hundred days left in this world, as long as she stays close to Yan Shengxiao, time will not pass. She... is willing to accompany Yan Shengxiao for the rest of her life.

If Gu Qingqiu could see in the mirror right now, she would definitely see that her eyes are full of love, and she is consciously sinking into delusion, looking at a data that may not even exist.

But Yan Shengxiao's body temperature felt so real that it captivated Gu Qingqiu.

"I'll help you take a bath, okay?" Yan Shengxiao coaxed gently.

"I...I don't want to..." Gu Qingqiu squirmed uncomfortably.

"Why not? I'm just returning the favor." Yan Shengxiao carried Gu Qingqiu into the warm bathtub.

Then everything was so crazy. Yan Shengxiao gave Gu Qingqiu a novel feeling she had never experienced before, making her feel like she had been completely devoured.

On this day, she and Yan Shengxiao pressed themselves together in the most intimate way.

In her dazed state, Gu Qingqiu only heard Yan Shengxiao calling her name in various ways, sometimes as "Xiao Qiu", sometimes as "Little Bride", and sometimes as "Wife" or "Baby"—all incredibly cloying terms.

Yan Shengxiao, like a studious student, wanted to test which nickname Gu Qingqiu preferred.

Gu Qingqiu naturally liked them all, and she was willing to respond whenever Yan Shengxiao called her.

Yan Shengxiao, with a mischievous glint in his eye, forced Gu Qingqiu to call his name. Gu Qingqiu's voice was already weak from the ordeal, and she could only weakly call out, "Sheng... Shengxiao..."

"Hmm... anything else?" Yan Shengxiao's tone was suggestive, but his actions didn't stop at all.

Gu Qingqiu knew exactly what Yan Shengxiao wanted to hear. She felt like her body was falling apart from the impact. "Wait...wait a minute..."

"You call first." Yan Shengxiao's tone sounded like he was willing to negotiate.

Gu Qingqiu couldn't hold back any longer and cried out, "Husband...husband."

As expected, Yan Shengxiao paused for a few seconds, and before Gu Qingqiu could even catch her breath, she had to face Yan Shengxiao's even more intense attack.

Her tears, flowing uncontrollably, streamed down her face. "You big bastard! You big liar!"

Yan Shengxiao gently kissed away Gu Qingqiu's tears, looking lovingly into her somewhat unfocused eyes, "Baby, I will love you for the rest of my life."

...

The feeling of tasting forbidden fruit for the first time is captivating, and men often find it difficult to control themselves when faced with a woman they like.

Under these circumstances, by the time Gu Qingqiu regained consciousness and woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The blackout curtains in the room were drawn tightly, so the room was completely dark, making Gu Qingqiu somewhat unaware of the time.

She tried to get up, but then heard a slightly hoarse voice beside her, "You're awake?"

"Hmm..." Realizing the culprit was right next to her, Gu Qingqiu glared fiercely in Yan Shengxiao's direction, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything in the dark. So Gu Qingqiu said very righteously, "I'm hungry! Go get me something to eat!"
