Chapter 64 Her name is Xing'er, and she's keeping him up at night again.
"Ah, a dog! Chase it away, chase it away quickly!" She closed her eyes in fright, her face practically turning into a meme.
So, I'm afraid of dogs.
Fu Beichen chuckled softly, patting her back gently to soothe her, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't bite. Someone has already taken it away. Be good, open your eyes and look."
Gu Xingnian opened her eyes and, finding the puppy gone, jumped off Fu Beichen somewhat awkwardly.
Fu Beichen comforted her, then got up and walked to the dining table, quickly returning with two plates.
On the plate were several pieces of roasted chicken and beef, lamb chops that looked very tender, a brightly colored vegetable salad, and mousse cakes and chocolates that looked delicious.
Gu Xingnian looked at the cake, her eyes flickered, she wanted to eat it but hesitated.
Fu Beichen noticed her expression and explained with a smile, "Eat without worry. The kitchen has taken special care; none of the food in the manor contains milk."
Her eyes lit up, and she happily picked up a small fork, scooped out a small piece of cake, and put it in her mouth.
It melts in your mouth and is sweet but not cloying.
"Mmm, delicious!"
She squinted her eyes contentedly, eating with great relish.
Looking at her chubby cheeks, like a cute little hamster, Fu Beichen's appetite also improved.
She ate with great relish.
A little bit of white mousse accidentally got on the corner of her mouth, and Fu Beichen naturally raised his hand and gently wiped it off with his fingertips.
He looked at her lips, so close to his own, which appeared even more luscious and full after eating cake, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
I really want to... taste that sweet flavor myself.
Gu Xingnian was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth.
"Oh! Young master and madam have arrived!"
A flashy figure floated over.
Lin Qi, dressed in a flashy floral shirt and an incongruous straw hat, approached with a grin, carrying a transparent wine flask.
"Madam, I've delivered your things to your room."
Gu Xingnian nodded. "Yes, thank you."
Lin Qi shook the wine jug in his hand and said as if presenting a treasure, "Madam, this is a rare wine from the estate. It tastes excellent and has a very low alcohol content. Would you like to try some? I specifically asked the doctor, and he said that in your current condition, drinking a little bit will help with blood circulation and won't have any adverse effects!"
Fu Beichen immediately gave him a warning look, "Lin Qi! Don't cause trouble!"
"Hey boss, it's really nothing, just a little bit, about the same as fruit wine." Lin Qi said with a grin.
Gu Xingnian became interested and smiled, "Okay, I'll try it."
Lin Qi quickly poured her a glass.
The wine is a beautiful light pink color and has a subtle fruity aroma.
She took a sip, and sure enough, it had a very low alcohol content, was sweet, and not bitter at all; it was indeed very delicious.
She wants another drink!
Just then, a little girl with pigtails and a small flower wreath on her head came skipping and hopping over.
She walked up to Gu Xingnian, tilting her little face up, holding a beautiful flower wreath in her hands.
"Hello, Madam, my name is Qingqing." The little girl's voice was clear and melodious. "Mommy said that you are the most beautiful princess in the whole manor, and she asked me to invite you to dance!"
"The eldest princess?" Gu Xingnian was amused by this title.
The little girl nodded vigorously and said confidently, "Yes! Because I'm a little princess!"
Gu Xingnian smiled and bent down, and the little girl carefully placed the flower wreath on her head.
She pointed to her ankle and said helplessly, "Thank you, little princess, but my foot is injured and I can't dance for the time being."
Qingqing's face immediately fell, filled with disappointment.
"You can jump."
A cool male voice rang out.
The next second, Gu Xingnian felt her body lighten as Fu Beichen picked her up again.
He carried her and strode toward the crowd dancing around the campfire.
The music was lively, and people were holding hands, dancing simple steps around the bonfire.
Fu Beichen was tall and imposing, and when he joined them while holding the petite girl, it didn't seem out of place at all.
He spun her around in his arms to the rhythm of the music, his steps steady... his warm chest pressed against her back, his strong arms encircling her.
The evening breeze blew, the campfire crackled, and laughter filled the air.
Gu Xingnian was a little embarrassed at first, but she was quickly infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere.
I couldn't help but laugh, my eyes crinkling with joy.
Not far away, Lin Qi watched his boss holding his wife. Although the dance steps were simple, the movements were smooth and natural, and his eyes were so tender that they could drip water.
Wow, the boss's dating skills are practically self-taught! Once he gets the hang of it, things are different.
The party lasted until around 10:30 p.m. before gradually coming to an end.
Gu Xingnian drank quite a bit of wine, and her cheeks were flushed with a beautiful blush.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, her eyes sparkled, tinged with a slightly dreamy quality.
Her slightly tipsy appearance was like a lily in bloom after the rain, moist and fragrant.
Fu Beichen bent down again, his arms passing under her knees and back, and steadily lifted her up horizontally.
She gave a soft hum, but her little hands instinctively hooked around his neck.
A night breeze blew by, carrying the slight chill of the bonfire party.
She flinched, like a kitten seeking warmth, and snuggled closer to his firm chest, looking for a more comfortable spot.
Fu Beichen didn't stop, carrying her across the lawn and towards the brightly lit main house.
The person in his arms suddenly began to murmur to himself, his voice soft and gentle, slurred with the effects of alcohol.
"Little brother..."
Fu Beichen paused, looking down at her.
Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
"You're so late..."
"I've been waiting for you...for...two years..."
It was fragmented, like pieces dredged up from the depths of a distant memory.
"But...you've forgotten Xing'er..."
How could you... forget Xing'er?
As she finished speaking, her voice became thick with tears, and she began to sob softly, warm tears sliding down her cheeks and wetting his shirt.
"You've forgotten our promise..."
Fu Beichen tightened his grip on her arms, his dark eyes swirling with emotion.
Xing'er?
Is that her former name? It really matches the restaurant's name perfectly!
What was that agreement?
A strange restlessness and a desire to explore welled up within him.
The person in my arms started squirming restlessly again.
"Fu Beichen... I... I'll tell you a secret..."
His eyes lit up, and he lowered his head tentatively: "What secret?"
Suddenly, without warning, she raised her small face, opened her mouth, and pressed her warm, soft lips against his chin, gently biting him with her teeth.
It didn't hurt; it was slightly damp and smelled of wine.
Fu Beichen's muscles tensed instantly, and his well-defined jawline became even colder and harder.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
She was drunk.
He was certain.
When she was sober, she would never dare to be so presumptuous and audacious.
Finally back in the main house's bedroom, she was gently placed on the soft, large bed, and she seemed to calm down a bit.
But that silence didn't last long.
Even in her sleep, she remained restless.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her little hands waved unconsciously as she kicked off the thin blanket covering her.
What startled him even more was that she began to tear at her clothes, the collar of her jacket becoming askew.
Fu Beichen immediately stepped forward and pressed down on her flailing hands.
He noticed her injured arm, which was still wrapped in gauze, and moved even more gently.
He was afraid that she might move recklessly and hurt herself again.
He patiently and carefully helped her take off the cumbersome little jacket, leaving only her underwear underneath.
After doing all this, he didn't dare leave immediately.
He lay down beside her, reached out, and gently took her uninjured hand in his. Her hand was small, soft, and warm.
As soon as I lay down, the person next to me felt like they had found someone to lean on.
She rolled over, placed one hand on his waist, and pressed one leg over him without any hesitation, practically wrapping her entire body around him.
He held her soft, warm body in his arms, carrying the sweet scent of wine and her unique fragrance.
Fu Beichen froze, not daring to move. He could clearly feel the temperature of her skin and her soft curves.
He kept his eyes open, staring at the ceiling, her drunken ramblings echoing repeatedly in his mind.
Little brother... Xing'er... the promise...
For some reason, he also wanted to find that blank memory; he felt it was very important.
This woman always manages to stir his heartstrings!
Annoying!
Night was falling.
The person in my arms was breathing evenly, as if they had fallen asleep.
But her little movements didn't stop; she unconsciously rubbed against him, searching for the most comfortable position.
Each rubbing was like a feather teasing him, igniting the suppressed flames within him.
Fu Beichen's body reacted more and more strongly.
He closed his eyes, but ultimately couldn't bear it any longer.
In the middle of the night, he got out of bed very quietly, went into the bathroom, and turned on the cold water valve.
Then I left her bed and couldn't sleep!
