Chapter 52 Yunxi, Say You Love Me
Upon hearing that these two troublemakers were here again, Yunxi's face immediately darkened. It was bad enough that they brought soup every day, but they always brought it at night.
Is she planning to stay overnight before even getting married? If she's in such a hurry, why bother with being a wife or concubine? She might as well just become Gu Nanxiao's maidservant.
Frustrated, Yunxi thought to herself, "Why should I leave any room for Gu Nanxiao? He already has beautiful wives and concubines in his arms, why would he want something like me, a mere concubine?"
She wanted to leave all these things to Qi Jinxiu and the others, so that when Gu Nanxiao was surrounded by women, he wouldn't be spending the money she had earned.
Gu Nanxiao was also troubled by Xu Shulan and Shen Yujiao's constant pestering. But what bothered him most was that Yunxi would always give him the cold shoulder whenever those two women came looking for him.
Gu Nanxiao had recently tried several times to gauge the Emperor's opinion, wanting to rescind the imperial decree for marriage. However, the Emperor's attitude was very firm, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.
He didn't want to cause trouble with Yunxi because of people who didn't care. Gu Nanxiao looked at Yunxi's cold face, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her into his arms.
He coaxed her very patiently, "Now that you've arranged everything for Mother's birthday, how about I take you to the hot spring resort to relax while I still have three days off?"
Yunxi noticed that Gu Nanxiao had become more inclined to ask for her opinion ever since they had a drink together. Could this be the legendary "friendship through drinks"? Had a single drink deepened their bond and fostered mutual respect?
Although she guessed that she would be tormented by Gu Nanxiao when she went to the hot spring resort, it didn't affect Yunxi's love for being respected. Therefore, she wanted to give positive feedback immediately when Gu Nanxiao did something right.
Yunxi smiled brightly, put her arm around Gu Nanxiao's neck and said, "Okay, let's go now."
Gu Nanxiao first ordered a servant to go out and dismiss the two women at the courtyard gate. Then he had Mo Yu hitch up the carriage and, with Yunxi in tow, quietly left the Yongwang Mansion through the back gate.
In the carriage, Gu Nanxiao held the listless Yunxi on his lap and coaxed her gently, "Don't think about those worries anymore. I've prepared a surprise for you at the manor."
You should now think about how you'll thank me if my surprise pleases you.
Yunxi felt that Gu Nanxiao had nothing to offer that would please her. She decided not to bother thinking about it; the journey to the hot spring resort was still long, so she might as well get some sleep first.
It's not entirely Yunxi's fault for being a sleepyhead. Ever since she became Gu Nanxiao's concubine, she's never had a full night's sleep. On good nights, she can sleep half the night, but when that scoundrel goes crazy, she's only let go at the crack of dawn.
Yunxi didn't know if other ancient people were all so physically strong. But she was certain that among all the ancient people with good physical strength, Gu Nanxiao was the one who was extraordinary.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at the manor. Yunxi was carried inside by Gu Nanxiao. Because she was sleeping soundly, Gu Nanxiao couldn't bear to wake her.
When Yunxi opened his eyes again, he was already in a hot spring pool filled with misty steam. He was sitting on Gu Nanxiao's lap, leaning against Gu Nanxiao's hard chest.
To her surprise, the hot spring pool was actually inside a natural cave. From the cave entrance, one could see twinkling starlight outside, while inside, countless fireflies danced in the air – a sight that truly captivated Yunxi.
Just then, the man behind her leaned down and breathed softly into her ear, asking in a seductive tone, "Little girl, do you like this surprise?"
Yunxi raised her arm, which had been soaking in the hot spring, and a firefly landed in her palm. But it only stayed for a moment before flying away again. Soon it merged with the countless fireflies in the cave, becoming part of the starlight before her eyes.
Yunxi turned her head and met Gu Nanxiao's eyes, saying with undisguised joy, "I really like this beautiful scenery, and I like your thoughtfulness even more."
After saying that, she took the initiative to plant a kiss on Gu Nanxiao's lips. She really hadn't expected Gu Nanxiao to go to such lengths to make her happy. After all, to Gu Nanxiao, she was just a tool for venting his frustrations.
Yunxi's kiss gave Gu Nanxiao a great boost. It turned out that Yunxi wasn't an unyielding iceberg; as long as he used the right method, Yunxi would respond generously.
Come to think of it, Yunxi has always been generous. Even though he hadn't given Yunxi anything before, she still brought him so much fame, wealth, status, and other benefits.
He always treated Yunxi as his possession, taking it for granted that since Yunxi was with him, she should love him wholeheartedly, so he lacked any real care for her.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time. From then on, he would try his best to satisfy Yunxi's every wish and make sure he could live in Yunxi's heart so that Yunxi would not always think about leaving.
As soon as Yunxi took the initiative, Gu Nanxiao immediately got into the mood. The two naturally became entwined, but this time Gu Nanxiao's movements were very gentle.
He kissed Yunxi as he whispered a request: "Yunxi... say you love me... Yunxi... tell me... Yunxi... I want to hear it."
Gu Nanxiao's request was naturally impossible to get a response to, but he seemed very persistent about this issue, repeatedly begging Yunxi to say that she loved him.
However, after asking for a long time without getting any results, he took out a gold anklet from somewhere and put it on Yunxi's ankle with a click.
The anklet has a ring of bells that sway along with the ankle as the clouds float and sink in the joyful embrace.
Gu Nanxiao said in a hoarse voice, "If you won't respond to me, then let it respond to me for you."
The next day, Yunxi was shaken awake with a sore back. When she opened her eyes, she found it was still dark, but Gu Nanxiao was already dressed. Yunxi noticed that Gu Nanxiao had also dressed her.
Yunxi asked, puzzled, "It's not even dawn yet, are we going back already?"
Gu Nanxiao pulled the person up from the bed and said with a smile, "We're not going back. We're staying here for three more days. I'm taking you to see the sunrise."
Yunxi was also very interested in watching the sunrise, after all, she had always been an adventurous person in her modern life. Especially since her grandfather required her to return to inherit the family business after she turned eighteen.
She decided to pursue all her hobbies before she turned eighteen. But before she could even experience the sunrise, she was transported to ancient times.
As soon as Yunxi got out of bed, she found that her legs were too weak to walk. Thinking about her embarrassing situation, which was all caused by someone, she said with a bit of annoyance, "Carry me up the mountain."
