After dumping the poor tycoon, chapter 27 (The End)
Qi An'an was really hungry, and she wolfed down her food without caring about her image.
After discovering that the dishes served were all delicate and small portions, not even enough to satisfy her, Gu Shi immediately changed the menu and had rice and sweet and sour pork ribs brought out as well.
It goes especially well with rice.
While eating, Qi An'an kept putting food on Gu Shi's plate.
Gu Shi knew very well that the flowers and plants he had arranged, and the romantic ambient lighting, could not compare to this large plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.
The phone on the table kept vibrating. Qi An'an was about to turn it off, but Gu Shi picked it up and asked, "Who is it this time?"
Qi An'an originally only had a pitiful few contacts, but after starting work recently, some old friends added her back as a friend, and she also received many congratulatory messages from colleagues, so her phone has been constantly ringing.
Qi An'an glanced at her phone screen and honestly said, "I don't know, it's not important."
Gu Shi glanced at the red dot on her WeChat, then silently put it down. "If you're busy, you can deal with it first."
Qi An'an shook her head: "I'm not busy, thank you, Gu Shi, I'm very happy today."
Wen Ci's actions today caused her mission progress to surge to 95%, and it seems that the rest can be accomplished simply by waiting.
"I'm glad you like it." Gu Shi said calmly, but couldn't help but smile. "Don't eat too much, there's still cake."
"Uh-huh."
Qi An'an responded verbally, but couldn't stop talking.
Gu Shi knew her personality, so the cake he prepared wasn't big, but it was very exquisite, with two cartoon fondant figurines on top.
Qi An'an said, "I've only ever seen these fondant figurines on other people's wedding cakes. Don't they look like a newlywed couple?"
Gu Shi said in a low voice, "This is us."
Qi An'an smiled and gently poked the fondant doll with her index finger. "I know, we're so cute."
Gu Shi felt a slight itch in his heart. He gently lifted her hand, which was still messing around on the cake, lit the candles, and said, "Make a wish first."
He had never celebrated anyone's birthday before; he learned his experience from when she celebrated his birthday. Of course, he also searched online and took notes.
Qi An'an clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and said, "My wish is that Gu Shi will always be well."
She opened her eyes to blow out the candles, but Gu Shi covered her mouth with his hand.
She looked over in confusion, "Waaah?" What's wrong?
Gu Shiwei pursed his lips, the orange candlelight flickering on his sharply defined face. He said, "Give me three."
Qi An'an nodded and obediently closed her eyes. "My second wish is that Gu Shi will be well, and my third wish is that Gu Shi will—hmm?"
Her mouth was covered again.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man. What's wrong now?
Wasn't it supposed to be a wish she made?
Gu Shi was not satisfied with her wish?
"Besides hoping I'm doing well, do you have any other wishes?" Gu Shi gazed at her, his voice carrying a hint of implication.
Qi An'an has already gotten Xiao Hei involved in thinking about what he really wants to hear.
The little black mosquito turned into a black mosquito coil, which was completely unfathomable.
When Qi An'an met Gu Shi's gaze, a sudden inspiration struck her. She closed her eyes and made a new wish, "My third wish is that Gu Shi will always be by my side."
This time, Gu Shi didn't cover her mouth.
Qi An'an blew out the candles and looked at Gu Shi with a slightly smug smile, like a child who had guessed the adult's thoughts and was eager for praise and reward.
Happy birthday, Qi An'an.
Gu Shi chuckled softly, reached out and pressed his hand against the back of her neck, then lowered his head to kiss the lips he had long coveted.
"I haven't... I haven't eaten cake yet..."
Even as Qi An'an's breathing became disordered, she hadn't forgotten the beautiful cake.
Her petal-like lips were an alluring, watery red color. Gu Shi gently rubbed them between his fingertips, his eyes as dark as ink.
He grunted in agreement and returned to his seat.
Qi An'an swallowed hard, her cheeks flushing involuntarily, and the crimson corners of her eyes looked even more charming.
Gu Shi handed her the knife, and when she took it, her hand trembled slightly.
Upon noticing this, he casually asked, "Why are you shaking?"
"No, I'm not shaking." She quickly pressed her other hand against hers, her cheeks burning hot.
She couldn't very well say that being stared at by him like that made her feel like a delicious cake about to be devoured by him.
The little black creature, slowly revealing its form, was speechless.
How did I get blocked without even realizing it?
The fondant figurines were so cute that Qi An'an couldn't bear to eat them and kept them aside.
Gu Shi glanced at the two little figures several times. Thinking he wanted to eat them, she handed him the one that represented her, saying, "Here, have one."
Gu Shi's lips twitched, his eyes seeming somewhat complicated. "...Thank you."
He looked at her and urged, "You eat too."
Qi An'an originally wanted to take it back and put it in the refrigerator, and eat it tomorrow, but she vaguely felt that the other party seemed a little eager, so she nodded, picked up the fondant figurine, and took a big bite.
Her head, along with half of her body, was bitten off. Just as she was about to chew, Gu Shi quickly reached out and pinched her chin. "Be careful."
Qi An'an: "???"
Her lips were pinched and pouted, and she still had the fondant doll's head in her mouth.
Little Black chimed in cheekily, "Oh my, I saw it! There's a ring hidden inside the fondant head..."
Qi An'an: "..."
This trick definitely wasn't something Gu Shi would have come up with. Could it be that he saw some random advice online?
Gu Shi had already cursed the unknown netizen in his mind. With a serious expression, he actually took action to pry the fondant out of Qi An'an's mouth.
He said in a serious tone, "Fondant is too hard, don't eat it."
Qi An'an nodded blankly, "Mhm."
What about that ring...?
Seeing her staring intently at the fondant he had carved out, Gu Shi understood immediately; she had guessed it.
He sighed silently, then crushed the fondant and, sure enough, obtained a diamond ring.
He picked up the warm water beside him and carefully rinsed the diamond ring.
Qi An'an, who was standing to the side, rested her chin on her hands and watched his actions with a smile. "So, Gu Shi, you want to propose."
If she actually chews that fondant, she might break her teeth.
"Um."
Gu Shi carefully wiped the diamond ring with a towel, his heart pounding even harder.
He simply lacks the knack for creating surprises; he seems to have made a fool of himself just now.
He wasn't afraid of making a fool of himself, but he always felt that what he gave her wasn't perfect enough, not romantic enough...
Suddenly, a fair and slender hand reached out in front of him.
Qi An'an looked at him expectantly, "Then hurry up and put it on for me."
Gu Shi: "..."
What was supposed to be a sacred and ceremonial moment shattered the dreamlike illusion when he saw her pointing her middle finger.
His anxieties about the future seemed to vanish.
He lowered his gaze, took her hand, and then bent her ring finger out and put it on the finger.
"Qi An'an, would you like to have your wedding before or after the New Year?"
Qi An'an admired the ring. "Before the New Year, the sooner the better."
Gu Shi looked at her quietly.
Qi An'an noticed his gaze and abruptly withdrew her hand. Had he changed his mind?
Gu Shi: "..."
Her thoughts were written in her eyes, and he could see them clearly.
He felt that his previous worries were not unfounded; her intentions towards him were obvious and strong.
It was as if getting him was a task she desperately wanted to accomplish.
It's probably just his imagination.
"Qi An'an, you must remember your wish." He said softly, but his tone was not domineering; rather, it was one of earnestness and longing.
Qi An'an nodded, got up, snuggled into his arms, and kissed him on the cheek, "Okay, okay~"
If it weren't for the fact that she was clinging to him and speaking in a sweet and soft tone, Gu Shi would have suspected that she was just being perfunctory.
However, this is how she was supposed to be.
Her smile and her love were both straightforward and passionate.
After finishing the cake, Qi An'an felt a little sleepy. Gu Shi ignored the unfinished procedures and led her away from Qian Yue Club.
However, it wasn't to go back to the hotel.
The car drove into a high-end, quiet residential area, and soon a European-style villa appeared in front of us.
"You bought a house?" Qi An'an, her drowsiness gone, followed Gu Shi out of the car with curiosity.
"Um."
She walked quickly, and Gu Shi caught up with her, reaching out to hold her hand in his palm.
Qi An'an was held by his hand and could no longer wander off. She leaned towards him, nestling against him as if she had no bones, "The environment here is so nice."
Gu Shi nodded, his gaze fixed on her profile, hesitant to speak.
Glancing towards the garden, Qi An'an suddenly remembered something, "Is this the design you made before?"
She initially said she wanted to start a family with him, that she would buy him a big house with east-facing windows so he could see the sunrise every day, a garden with flowers all year round, a swing, a sunroom, and she even wanted him to teach her to paint…
Anyway, she said a lot, but then forgot about it. Later, Gu Shi brought her a drawing based on her description of what her home looked like.
She left that painting at the Qi family's house back then, and she doesn't know if it's still there...
But the house in front of her reminded her of that painting.
She couldn't buy Gu Shi a house, so Gu Shi got one himself.
Gu Shi nodded, seemingly oblivious to her guilty conscience, and led her up the steps into the villa.
Qi An'an and Gu Shi didn't leave much stuff at the hotel; they had already moved it over during the day.
The master bedroom also features a minimalist design. The sunflower cushion that Qi An'an bought looks a bit out of place, but Gu Shi still placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The snack cabinet was also moved over and placed right next to the cushions.
Everything was arranged according to Qi An'an's habits.
In the walk-in closet, Qi An'an looked around and saw a box piled up in the corner. She casually asked, "What's this?"
Gu Shi hung his coat aside, his eyes flickered slightly, but his expression was very serious. "Take a look for yourself."
Out of curiosity, she went over and rummaged through them, finding all sorts of stockings...
"Gu Shi!" Qi An'an twitched slightly and turned to look at the man.
"Hmm." Gu Shi loosened his tie, leaned closer in a good mood, and pressed her against the wall with his tall frame. "You can buy it, but I can't?"
Qi An'an: "You bought it, so you can wear it yourself."
Does he want to tear this up every day? Can't he be serious for once?!
Gu Shi: "Okay."
His quick agreement made Qi An'an somewhat suspicious.
A grown man wearing stockings, does he really dare?
However, before she could question it, Gu Shi took her to the bathroom.
After the two of them finished washing up, it was almost midnight.
Gu Shigang came out of the bathroom, his body burning hot, and hugged Qi An'an in his arms.
Qi An'an was no longer sleepy and kept snuggling in his arms.
While he was taking a shower, she finished replying to all the messages she had accumulated throughout the day, and she had also arranged her work for tomorrow.
I have no psychological burden now.
"Goodnight, Shi." She snuggled up to his shoulder and rubbed against him.
He replied, "No rush."
The clock on the bedside table showed 11:59. He spoke again, saying to her, "An'an, happy birthday."
He watched the time jump to the next day, and as if he had fulfilled some kind of obsession, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Qi An'an kissed his chin in response, but things escalated and they eventually got into a full-blown fight.
His palm lingered repeatedly on her heart.
Qi An'an felt her heart being gripped tightly by him. She reached out to push him away, her voice as soft as if floating on the clouds, "Now, you... don't dislike me anymore...?"
He caressed her with that ascetic face, the contrast sending shivers down her spine.
“I don’t mind.” Gu Shi knew what she meant.
"So you're deliberately trying to annoy me, aren't you?"
"Um."
"Was the room key also intentional?"
"Mmm." Gu Shi gently kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry, An'an."
It's just that he was too stubborn, trapping himself in a vicious cycle of resentment, tormenting her and himself.
"It's okay, I don't blame you." Qi An'an was actually quite guilty.
But she made up her mind. Going back to the quick transmigration bureau would be boring anyway, and the next world might not be a good start either, so... she might as well enjoy the present.
Gu got up and left, and returned a short while later with the stockings.
Qi An'an: "...Wasn't it you who wore it?"
Gu Shi slowly unpacked the package. "Okay, I'll put it on you."
Qi An'an: "..."
She felt that Gu Shi was particularly energetic and fierce today, and he was tearing the stockings with extra gusto.
The next morning, Qi An'an was woken up by her biological clock and subconsciously called for Xiao Hei to help her regain her strength.
However, after thinking about it, she asked Xiao Hei to keep the marks on her body so that they wouldn't be erased too quickly and arouse Gu Shi's suspicion.
She was the first to get up and wash up. Gu Shi was startled awake and watched her run to the bathroom. His dark eyes were heavy, and he fell into self-doubt again.
That shouldn't be the case...
Qi An'an still didn't quite understand men's sensitive and competitive nature in this regard. She wanted to maintain a certain level of physical strength and energy while working, which is why she let her little body pound against her will. However, she didn't expect that it would provoke Gu Shi.
For several days in a row, Qi An'an was half-dead at night, but full of energy during the day.
Gu Shi's gaze towards her grew more complicated each day; he had never imagined he would have such troubles.
Ultimately, he chose to consult the all-knowing netizens over Jiang Ming.
After filtering through the answers, he came to the conclusion that An An might be putting on an act in front of him, and that she wasn't actually enjoying it.
That night, under Gu Shi's malicious provocation, Qi An'an took the initiative to ask for it.
Looking at her alluring eyes and soft, gentle voice, Gu Shi felt that what the netizens were saying was all nonsense.
His An An wasn't acting.
She just has great stamina.
That's fine...
Gu Shi was unaware that Qi An'an had also secretly asked netizens if it was normal for a boyfriend to have excessive sexual desire.
Netizens commented: "Some are dying of drought, while others are dying of flooding."
Qi An'an: "..."
So she stopped caring.
Luckily, she had Xiao Hei, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to keep up with Gu Shi's stamina.
