Shang Ling'er's words left Ye Gubai dumbfounded once again.
The resolute tone in her words made Ye Gubai realize that she was serious.
But for various reasons, Ye Gubai shook his head and said, "That's not good, and it's unnecessary."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ling'er's face darkened: "Don't refuse me again!"
Shang Ling'er was somewhat angry, and the strong-willed feeling that had been suppressed in her heart surfaced.
As a member of the new generation of merchants, Shang Ling'er has been pampered since childhood.
From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing she couldn't get.
How could she not be angry when Ye Gubai rejected her one after another?
How could she, as a proud new heir of the business, endure such humiliation?
"Am I ugly?!"
"Huh? Am I ugly?!"
Shang Ling'er grew angrier the more she thought about it.
She is clearly a great beauty, so why does Ye Gubai keep rejecting her?
It's clearly not Ye Gubai who's at a disadvantage, so why should he refuse?!
That's just how women are; the more you reject her, the more unhappy she becomes.
Ye Gubai was also dumbfounded; it was the first time he had ever seen Shang Ling'er angry.
He had never expected Shang Ling'er to be so angry and furious.
Ye Gubai is not a clay figure, and even clay figures have some temper.
Even the most patient person would be annoyed by such inexplicable treatment.
Speechless, Ye Gubai simply got up and let Shang Ling'er do whatever she wanted.
"snort!"
Shang Ling'er snorted coldly and spread the mattress on the metal bed.
After doing all that, she arranged the pillows.
After she finished, she lay down on the bed and huddled in a corner.
Ye Gubai looked at her helplessly, though he was annoyed by Shang Ling'er's anger.
But I can't just lose my temper with this girl right now.
"Come on up, what are you waiting for!"
Seeing that Ye Gubai didn't move, Shang Ling'er shouted again in displeasure.
Hearing this, Ye Gubai decided to go all out.
Without further hesitation, he simply lay down on the bed.
So, the two of them each took one corner and began to fall asleep, carrying it on their backs.
Fortunately, Ye Gubai built the metal bed to a scale that was large enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate two adults.
Having a bed and bedding makes sleeping much more comfortable.
Soon, Ye Gubai fell asleep.
...
The next morning, Ye Gubai woke up early.
Feeling the softness in his arms, he instinctively hugged her.
He still thought that the person in his arms was Shen Miaomiao.
After his mind cleared up a bit, Ye Gubai suddenly woke up.
Only then did he realize that the person in his arms was not Shen Miaomiao, but Shang Ling'er, who had run to his bed last night!
Ye Gubai opened his eyes and met the eyes of Shang Ling'er in his arms.
Seeing the other person blushing and looking at him, Ye Gubai was dumbfounded.
"I didn't mean to..."
Ye Gubai immediately stood up and began to apologize.
This wasn't something Ye Gubai wanted to happen.
He wasn't that thirsty; these were all actions that occurred in his sleep.
It was an unconscious act, not his true intention.
“...”
Shang Ling'er sat up with a flushed face. She didn't say much, but silently tidied herself up.
"???" Ye Gubai stared at the scene in shock.
Shang Ling'er's actions made him seem like some kind of womanizing thief.
Is this a joke?
He didn't really do anything wrong, so why is Shang Ling'er acting like this?
He wasn't a novice, so he could naturally tell that Shang Ling'er had only been given a simple hug.
I didn't do anything outrageous at all...
"Never mind, I'll go prepare breakfast."
Ye Gubai shook his head and quickly turned and left the metal house.
Once outside, Ye Gubai immediately began roasting the snake meat.
Only in this way can he shift his focus.
Otherwise, my mind would be filled with all sorts of random questions about Shang Ling'er.
"You don't need to blame yourself..."
A few minutes later, Shang Ling'er's voice came from behind Ye Gubai.
Hearing this, Ye Gubai, who had almost calmed down, felt helpless.
He didn't do anything right, and judging from the situation this morning, Shang Ling'er probably crawled into his arms on her own.
After all, when he opened his eyes, Shang Ling'er was already looking at him with her eyes open.
So actually, he's the victim, isn't he?
Right now, Shang Ling'er is saying things like, "You don't need to blame yourself."
It makes him look like some heartless bastard, that's ridiculous!
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore..."
"Let's eat some barbecue, it's ready."
Ye Gubai decided not to dwell on the issue any longer, selectively skipping over it, and handed Shang Ling'er a skewer of grilled snake meat.
Shang Ling'er, having accepted the roasted meat, didn't say anything more.
She blushed as she ate, silently watching Ye Gubai.
She did indeed initiate the hugging.
In fact, she snuggled into Ye Gubai's arms around midnight.
She felt a bit cold at that time, so she unconsciously started looking for a heat source.
Ye Gubai, who was feverish, naturally elicited a reaction from her.
It wasn't until her body instinctively clung to Ye Gubai that Shang Ling'er came to her senses.
But by then, she had already embraced Ye Gubai tightly.
Opening her eyes and feeling Ye Gubai's heartbeat, she decided to go with the flow and enjoy the warmth.
They held each other like that all night, and Shang Ling'er was the first to wake up.
Once she woke up, she was able to break free from his embrace on her own.
