This was actually an obvious joke, but Gu Boyan's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and he looked into her eyes seriously and said: "You won't..."
"Yeah, I know." Chen Nian'an stuck out her tongue and gently shook his fingers that were hanging on her knees. "Because you will protect me."
Gu Boyan looked at the innocent smile and trust on her face, nodded, made a sound through his nose, and stroked her cheek with his fingertips, thinking.
You won't die, I'm here.
Chen Nian'an's heart skipped a beat.
The smell of burning skin in the fire in the Burmese wooden house, the suffocating billowing smoke, and the pungent smell of gasoline suddenly came to mind.
But then all the fragments symbolizing pain and death receded like the tide, leaving only the large and warm body in the blurred light and shadow at the door.
It’s Gu Boyan.
She concealed the uneasiness in her eyes, smiled, and kissed the corner of his mouth coquettishly with the corner of her mouth raised.
One of them was smiling, the other was calm and composed, but both of them had some strange emotions in their hearts.
Gu Boyan's office was on the third floor alone, almost like a small living room. Chen Nian'an opened the door and looked at the room with a 1.5-meter bed and everything else inside.
I turned to look at him and asked, "Why do you make your office look like home? Have you done anything to let me down?"
Gu Boyan was leaning against the door with one of his long legs casually bent. Hearing what she said, he came in and pinched her nose.
He said calmly, "You used to hate seeing me, so I had to wait until you were asleep before going home, and then I had to stay in this little room for "business trips" every two or three days. Who made you hate me?"
The tone as calm as water was filled with hints of complaints.
Chen Nian'an's arrogant attitude was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, and it immediately wilted.
She touched her nose and said, "It's good to have a small room. It must be very hard to work. It's a good place to rest when you are tired."
Gu Boyan raised his handsome eyebrows and watched her expression change with guilt.
The cell phone on the sofa suddenly rang. It was Chen Nian'an's phone.
She is now extremely grateful for this phone call that was like an angel coming to her.
"The phone rang"
She stretched out her index finger and pointed outside carefully. It wasn't that she had to report every time she answered a phone call, but Gu Boyan was blocking the door, supporting the door frame with one hand.
She couldn't get out at all.
Gu Boyan didn't move or speak, just looked at her.
Chen Nian'an paused with his finger raised in the air, as if he understood what he meant.
After hesitating for a second, she tentatively stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the side of the cheek.
Gu Boyan raised his eyebrows but didn't move. His fingers resting on the door frame, tapping patiently, making crisp "tapping" sounds.
Chen Nian'an bit her lower lip, stood on tiptoe again, and this time kissed him firmly on the lips.
In the quiet and unfamiliar office, the air around them was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, even though the two had already done everything, including various French kisses.
But this pure, light kiss that touched and left immediately made both of their cheeks feel a little hot for no reason.
Chen Nian'an blushed and whispered, "Is it okay?"
Gu Boyan was fine, as he was used to pretending, and that slight trace of heat was quickly concealed.
He coughed calmly, withdrew his supporting hands, and stared at her with dark eyes as she left.
Chen Nian'an went out and picked up her phone. It was Mu Xin calling. She looked at Gu Boyan who sat down behind the desk and answered the call.
Before Mu Xin spoke, he first made sure that the hands-free function was turned off, the volume was lowered, and the phone was placed close to his ear.
"Chen Nian'an! Have you slept with Gu Boyan?!"
Hearing her scream that was almost like a shout, Chen Nian'an glanced at the man who had already turned on the computer and started working.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately I had foresight.
Otherwise, you will be socially dead.
She cupped her hand to her mouth and whispered to Mu Xin on the other end of the phone: "Wait a minute."
Then he raised his head and called out, "Gu Boyan"
"Hmm?" Gu Boyan looked over, his gaze silently falling on his hands.
"Can I go into the room to make a phone call?" She pointed to the small bedroom.
"Who's calling?" Gu Boyan narrowed his eyes.
"Mu Xin" stood up, and Chen Nian'an said obediently.
She didn't want Gu Boyan to misunderstand or feel unwarranted jealous, so she spoke directly.
I thought he would be happy when he heard it was a girl, but his face visibly darkened.
Gu Boyan moved his lips and finally said unhappily: "Go ahead."
Although Chen Nian'an felt that he seemed to want to say something, he didn't bother to ask.
Mu Xin was restless on the other end of the phone, talking happily to herself.
Just as I walked to the small bedroom and opened the door, Gu Boyan's voice behind me seemed to be unable to help but rang out, "Stop playing with Mu Xin."
"Ah?" Chen Nian'an turned his head and quickly covered the receiver.
But Mu Xin still didn't miss it, and was yelling on the other end of the phone:
"What does Gu Boyan mean? Hmm? I don't agree with this marriage now. I'm going to kidnap you today! He'll be alone for the rest of his life. How dare he talk to his mother-in-law like that!"
She covered her phone tightly and put it behind her back. She heard Gu Boyan cough and said calmly: "She is not a good person. If you play with her for a long time, you will learn bad things."
Mu Xin was still screaming hysterically here, and Chen Nian'an didn't know where Gu Boyan got this conclusion.
Pursing her lips to defend her friend, she said, "Don't talk about her like that."
Cold black eyes glared at him, and Chen Nian'an continued stubbornly, "Why do you say that? You don't understand her. Mu Xin treats me very well."
Gu Boyan looked at a lost fool and asked, "Is she the one who sent you those messy little videos?"
Chen Nian'an hesitated for a moment under his gaze and nodded.
"Is she the one who asked you to perform a sexual act?" he gritted his teeth.
Perhaps she didn't expect him to speak so bluntly, and her face became red from his "moaning in bed". Chen Nian'an nodded after a while.
"And she took you to get drunk on your wedding day, wasn't she?" Gu Boyan listed her crimes one by one.
When Chen Nian'an nodded at the last one, he felt something was wrong.
But she couldn't remember it for a while, after all, Mu Xin did drink a lot of wine with her.
"So," Gu Boyan said slowly, "shouldn't I play with her?"
Chen Nian'an nodded in agreement, but realized something was wrong the moment he nodded, and then shook his head vigorously, "No..."
Gu Boyan lowered his head slightly, waiting for her to give convincing reasons.
But Chen Nian'an didn't care about that. She half acted like a spoiled child and half played tricks on him, and snorted, "Anyway, it's not her, I'll just play with her."
After saying that, he ran into the house quickly and closed the door.
Gu Boyan's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.
"He didn't mean to say that. Please forgive Gu Boyan, Mu Xin, Mu Xin--" Chen Nian'an, who was being bullied by both sides and had to appease both sides, lay on the gray mattress and stretched out the last word on the phone.
