Chapter 161 Wrapping Jade Feet
When Su Qianqian opened the door, the setting sun was shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dyeing the living room a warm golden color.
She saw Gu Chengyu leaning on the sofa in the living room, his long legs casually crossed, holding a tablet in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was reading some document.
Hearing the door open, he raised his head, and the displeasure in his eyes instantly disappeared and became gentle.
"Ayu?"
Su Qianqian was a little surprised, and her voice rose slightly, "Why did you come back so early today?"
She even forgot to change her shoes. She kicked off her delicate white sandals, walked barefoot across the slightly cool floor, took a few steps onto the carpet, and threw herself into his open arms.
Gu Chengyu caught her steadily with his strong arms, and pulled her to sit on his lap, his palms touching the soles of her feet.
Feeling the chill, his brows immediately furrowed.
"No shoes again?"
His voice deepened a bit, with disapproval, but his big hands had already wrapped around her two tender white feet, rubbing them carefully with his warm palms.
At the same time, he didn't forget to lecture her: "The floor is so cold. Have you forgotten how uncomfortable it was last time in South Bay?"
His palms were large, almost completely covering her feet. His fingertips were covered with thin calluses, caressing her delicate insteps and soles, bringing a slight itch.
Su Qianqian curled her toes, feeling a little itchy, and wanted to hide, but he held her tighter.
She simply relaxed, wrapped her arms softly around his neck, snuggled into his arms, and rubbed her little face against the collar of his shirt.
"I forgot..." Her voice was soft and sticky, with a hint of coquettishness: "And seeing Ah Yu was so happy, I didn't care about it anymore."
Gu Chengyu groaned and pinched the soles of her feet as a punishment, but he was reluctant to use force.
He looked down at her little face so close to him, his eyes sparkling with obvious happiness.
"So happy?" he asked, his tone unconsciously softening.
"Ayu, everything went smoothly!"
She tilted her head back, her eyes curved into crescents, "The teachers and classmates are all very nice, and the campus is very beautiful."
"I never dared to imagine that I could go to college normally like other girls..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, but was soon covered by joy: "I'm so happy, really."
Gu Chengyu looked at her pretty little face, but his heart seemed to be gently stabbed by something.
He remembered the timid girl in the investigation materials who lived in a shabby rental house in the old city, wore washed-out jeans, and dared not say a word when Lin Shu ordered her around on the set.
At that time, she was avoiding glances and lowering her head, completely different from the lively and cute Su Qianqian in front of him who would throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly.
A belated heartache welled up in me.
He even felt a little regretful, wondering why he hadn't met her earlier, why he hadn't taken her under his wing when she was most helpless, and protected her well, saving her from all the suffering.
Gu Chengyu closed his arms, holding her tighter in his embrace, his chin rubbing against the top of her head, and said solemnly: "What no one gave you before, I will give you in the future."
"Before you met me, I couldn't do it."
"But now that you are my woman..."
He stepped back slightly, lifted her face, and looked into her eyes seriously:
"I promise, Qianqian, I will give you the best of everything, the most honorable status, and make sure no one dares to neglect you in the slightest."
Su Qianqian looked into his deep eyes, and the concentration in them made her heart burn.
She nodded gently: "Yeah, I know."
