Chapter 138 I am not a bed

The deafening music came over us like a tide, and the lights in the bar flickered and illuminated 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, you won't change the reality."

The man didn't listen to his companions' advice at all and continued drinking with his head covered.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but after chasing her for so many years, you still let someone else get there first. That's too bad."

Gu Muqing was already somewhat dazed, his eyes blurred and unable to focus, and he kept muttering, "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 didn't want to hear what he said anymore, and continued 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 repeating a name that he had called out all night long, "Qingqing..."

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

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

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

He fished 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 through the receiver.

"Hello?"

Su Mi had just come out of the shower when he heard his cell phone ringing and he 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 accident and hung up the phone.

Gu Muqing 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, "My dear... I just want to hear your voice."

…

Su Mi had just blown her hair dry and lay down on the bed when the bedside phone rang again.

This time she checked the caller ID.

It’s Xiao Xuanjin’s phone number.

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 enough dignity to both parties.

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 filled with electric current, lingering in their ears.

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

To be honest, since they started talking about marriage, the two parties have not 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 son-in-law of the Su family, so why are you standing at the door?

Why does this always feel sneaky?

He seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. "It's late. I don't want to disturb my uncle and aunt."

"Then wait for me."

Su Mi hung up the phone, got out of 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 drilled 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.

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

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

Xiao Xuanjin seemed to have noticed something and looked over.

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

Su Mi tucked up his coat and walked up to him, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Xuanjin took a look at her clothes. She was wearing a long white lace nightgown covered by a windbreaker. Her ankles were exposed, and her delicate and fair skin was shining.

She was still wearing slippers, which showed how anxious she was.

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

This question was actually quite strange, and far-fetched for their relationship which was about to enter into marriage.

"No, I haven't slept yet anyway."

Xiao Xuanjin raised his hand to tidy up a strand of hair that had been raised unruly from her temples. His movements were intimate, as if they were really a couple in love. "Seeing your fiancé come over 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 that she would listen to him in everything.

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

That's probably what he meant.

His arms felt warm, just as they had been before, and there was a faint smell of cedar, which was very pleasant.

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

Neither of them spoke.

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

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

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

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

He hurriedly let go and took half a step back.

She didn't need to raise her eyes to know that Xiao Xuanjin must be making fun of her at this moment.
