Chapter 47 Seduction
Yue Qianling had never heard her own heartbeat so clearly.
The eardrums were bulging, again and again, as if they were about to burst through the chest cavity.
But the tea room was so quiet that Yue Qianling suspected that even Gu Xun could hear her heartbeat.
I don’t know how much time has passed, Yue Qianling has not moved at all, just standing there straight like a sculpture.
But she could feel the blood in her body continuing to heat up.
I saw that the dazzling smile on her lips finally disappeared.
Gu Xun let go of her hand, slowly stood up, looked at her steadily, and licked the corner of his lips.
This little action seemed inexplicably erotic to Yue Qianling, and when she met his eyes again, she couldn't even hear her heartbeat.
Fortunately, footsteps were heard at this time.
Yue Qianling held the cup in her hand, turned her head, and saw Su Zheng walking towards them.
Seeing the two of them standing face to face in the tea room, their expressions seemed a little unnatural.
Mainly Yue Qianling, whose face was as red as a ripe apple.
It’s simply the Red Fuji on earth.
Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly swept between the two of them, and then he said calmly: "The takeaway has arrived, come and eat."
Yue Qianling nodded blankly, "Okay."
She followed Su Zheng for two steps, then suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked back.
Gu Xun was still standing there without moving, looking at Su Zheng's back, as if he was thinking about something.
Yue Qianling suddenly felt an itch in her heart, for no apparent reason, and she reached out her hand and pinched his chin with her thumb, just like Gu Xun had pinched her chin.
Gu Xun didn't avoid it and just lowered his head.
"What?"
His action caused Yue Qianling's fingers to slide across his chin passively, as if she was touching him.
Her fingertips suddenly trembled, but Yue Qianling didn't want to appear cowardly, so even though her heart was beating like a drum, she still said word by word: "Don't bother with the affairs of beautiful women."
"No."
Although Gu Xun stared at her, his tone was cold and indifferent, "I'm just a little envious of him for being so good at pleasing beautiful women."
“…”
Still a sour taste.
never mind.
Yue Qianling didn't know what she was explaining to him.
She and Su Zheng were just ordinary colleagues. Besides, she had no position now and there was no need for her to explain anything to Gu Xun.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianling let go of his hand and snorted softly.
As he turned to leave, he muttered, "A grown man, but you have such a small mind."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun sneered and did not follow immediately. Instead, he poured himself a full glass of ice water.
-
After leaving the tea room, Yue Qianling found that Su Zheng had not gone far. He heard Yue Qianling's footsteps, turned around, smiled at her, and slowed down his pace.
In fact, Su Zheng is always like this, smiling gently at people.
He seemed to be like this to everyone. During the time they had been in contact and working under such high pressure, Yue Qianling had never seen him get angry with anyone.
Except for one slightly overzealous move on his birthday...
As he was thinking, Yue Qianling had unknowingly walked to Su Zheng's side.
He turned his head and saw Yue Qianling was lost in thought, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"nothing."
Yue Qianling shook her head and said, "I'm thinking about the line drawing."
Su Zheng: "Well, is there anything you don't understand?"
"No, I've already asked all the questions I wanted to ask this afternoon. I'm just thinking about it now."
"OK."
Su Zheng stared at the glass in front of the corridor, blinked, and suddenly raised his voice, "Then let me ask you a question."
Yue Qianling turned around: "What?"
Su Zheng lowered his gaze and looked at her deeply. After a few seconds, he said, "What is your relationship with Gu Xun?"
"Me and him?"
Yue Qianling's eyes froze for a moment, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
Just ordinary friends?
It seems a bit guilty to say this.
Seeing her hesitation, Su Zheng asked directly: "Boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"No, no."
Yue Qianling immediately shook his head.
After denying it, she felt like something was wrong.
She was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Why are you——"
"Ah Zheng! Come quickly!"
Before Yue Qianling could finish what he was saying, someone suddenly called out to Su Zheng from the end of the corridor in an urgent tone.
Su Zheng's attention was diverted almost instantly. He responded loudly to the man, then turned to Yue Qianling and said, "Okay, got it."
After saying that, he trotted over without saying anything else.
Yue Qianling was left standing there, blinking his eyes, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Why even Su Zheng asked this?
It was obvious that she and Gu Xun didn't have much contact in the company, and the time she spent with people like Wei Han was even less than that.
How did Su Zheng figure that out?
Yue Qianling was a little distracted throughout the dinner.
It was as if a secret had been revealed and was about to be discovered by everyone.
At the same time, she particularly wanted to know from what details others saw the unusual relationship between her and Gu Xun.
In her subconscious, these details were like a layer of paper wrapped around the candy.
——There is candy inside, and when the paper is removed, it will be stained with a light sweetness that makes people want to lick it carefully.
-
With this doubt, Yue Qianling didn't say a word on the way back. Her heart felt itchy as if it was scratched by a cat, and she couldn't help but secretly look at Gu Xun.
But I'm afraid Gu Xun can't give her an answer to this kind of thing.
Maybe he doesn't even know it himself.
well.
Yue Qianling sighed silently.
After dinner, Yue Qianling met Wei Han and they chatted for more than an hour.
When we returned to Gu Xun's house it was much later than expected, and the moon had even come out.
Yue Qianling doesn’t have a mobile phone now, so she can hardly find anything to do.
Gu Xun seemed to be busy with something and went into the room as soon as he came back.
After taking a shower, Yue Qianling came out and strolled around the living room. She didn't want to disturb Gu Xun, so she turned on the TV and found a comedy movie.
It took two hours to watch and the movie wasn't very funny.
After it was over, Yue Qianling was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other, so she stood up, pushed open the door, and stuck her head in.
Gu Xun was sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on the densely packed English words on the screen, and did not notice Yue Qianling's presence.
She looked at him like that for a long while before speaking in a low voice.
"What are you doing?"
“Look at the literature.”
Gu Xun still had one hand on the mouse. He turned around and looked Yue Qianling up and down. "What's wrong?"
"I feel a little sleepy..."
Yue Qianling leaned against the door frame, looking sleepy, "I want to sleep."
"Then you go to sleep first."
Gu Xun pointed to the bed beside the table and said, "I will finish reading in a few minutes. Just pretend I don't exist."
Yue Qianling: “…”
That's easy to say.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Xun tilted his head and smiled, "Why, do you have to let me sleep with you?"
Yue Qianling: "...Shut up."
After saying that, she took a game magazine from Gu Xun, turned on the floor lamp by the window, and lay down to read.
In the quiet night, even the sound of the wind is gentle.
From time to time, the sound of air conditioning and Yue Qianling flipping through books could be heard in the room.
The two voices complemented each other in an inexplicable harmony, and no one could notice that Yue Qianling didn't read a single word.
No one noticed that Gu Xun's mouse stopped scrolling.
Until a bell rang, breaking the peace.
Gu Xun turned his head to glance at the incoming call and pressed the speakerphone button.
Then he turned his attention back to the computer and said nonchalantly, "What's up?"
"What a great news! My wife is pregnant! I'm going to be a father!"
Gu Xun's fingers that were pressing the keyboard paused, and a smile gradually appeared on his brows.
"Well, congratulations."
Yue Qianling's movements also stopped. She slowly raised her eyes and turned to look at Gu Xun's phone.
If she heard correctly, the sound was that of a camel?
He's going to be a father.
Camel: "Hey, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep this night. I wanted to tell the world, but my wife said that I can't be too ostentatious before the baby is three months old. It's not good for the baby. Why are there so many taboos when giving birth to a child?"
While Camel was chattering away, Gu Xun finished reading the document and was turning off his computer.
Camel: "Oh, by the way, I'm going to look up a name in the dictionary, do you have any ideas?"
Listening to Luotuo's words, Yue Qianling became a little curious. She sat up unconsciously and put a pillow in her arms.
"So early?"
The computer screen went dark, and Gu Xun leaned back and rubbed his neck. "Do you want to choose a man and a woman as backup?"
“Yeah, I see a lot of people like that.”
Camel said, "I'll have to find a fortune teller later. I just think my last name doesn't sound very nice. If it's a girl, I wonder if I can give her a pretty name."
"Why rush? We still have several months to think about it slowly."
Gu Xun asked, "Do you prefer a daughter or a son?"
Camel: "Hey, of course it's a daughter. Would you like to piss me off by giving birth to a son?"
"Um."
Gu Xun lowered his eyes and smiled, "I like my daughter, too."
The camel on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed: "You don't even have a girlfriend, isn't it a bit too early to think about these things?"
Taking advantage of the camel's inability to see, Gu Xun glanced at Yue Qianling and said lazily, "Isn't this chasing?"
“…”
Yue Qianling's eyelids twitched and he turned his face away.
Camel: "You sound so relaxed when you say that. You're already thinking about having a child before you even catch the girl. What are you thinking about?"
Yue Qianling couldn't bear it any longer, so she stretched out her legs calmly and planned to go to the bathroom.
At this time, Gu Xun spoke again.
"Yeah, this kind of thing...even if I catch up with her, it's not my decision."
He turned back again, looked at Yue Qianling, and raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
“…”
Yue Qianling paused in her movement of getting out of bed, her face turned red, and she hit Gu Xun with a pillow.
This time Gu Xun had anticipated this. He smiled and dodged for a moment, but then looked over with a seductive look.
His eyes changed in an instant, no longer as calm as before, but now flickered with a hint of tyranny.
Before Yue Qianling could react to the meaning of his look, he quickly hung up the phone, then stood up, took two steps over, grabbed Yue Qianling's wrist, half-knelt on the bed with one leg, and neatly pressed her down on the bed with her hands tied behind her back.
The series of actions happened so quickly that Yue Qianling had no time to struggle, and the faint light was blocked by his figure.
Yue Qianling's eyes darkened and he held his breath.
The two of them just stared at each other in this position without moving.
I don't know when a drizzle started outside the window. The sound of the rain mixed with the breath of the two people, entwined in the quiet room.
But in the eardrum, there was a clear and strong heartbeat sound.
I don’t know who it belongs to.
Yue Qianling opened her eyes, looked into Gu Xun's eyes which were as dark as the night sky, and felt his breath getting closer and closer to her.
Until the moment his hot breath brushed past her nose, Yue Qianling trembled and closed her eyes.
The next second, a warm feeling fell on the forehead.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water and quickly leaving.
Yue Qianling's eyelashes were still trembling, and in the continued silence, she opened her eyes.
Their eyes met in the darkness.
"Next time if you do this, it won't be so easy."
His deep voice and the crisp sound of rain created a sharp contrast. It gently penetrated into Yue Qianling's ears, but it was like a prairie fire that made Yue Qianling feel numb all over.
I feel like I've been seduced by a demon.
After Gu Xun finished speaking, he let go of Yue Qianling's hand and brushed away the messy hair around her ears.
"Go to sleep."
