Shen Muqing led the man inside, saying, "Let's make this clear first, there's only one bed in my house, so you'll have to sleep on the sofa."
The tall man felt a little cramped in the house. He looked at the layout of Shen Muqing's home. It was very cozy and looked like a place where people had lived for a long time. It didn't feel like his home. Without Qingqing, it felt cold and deserted.
Seeing that the man remained silent, Shen Muqing raised her voice: "Don't even think about sleeping in the same bed with me, that's impossible."
Gu Yanchuan snapped out of his reverie, his eyes filled with contentment. As long as he could stay with Qingqing, it didn't matter where he slept. "Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa."
"There are new toiletries under the toilet cabinet. I'll shower first, then you can shower," Shen Muqing instructed, adding as she thought of something else, "Please make yourself at home."
Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower. Gu Yanchuan sat on the sofa waiting for Shen Muqing. He didn't wander around. He already had an idea in his mind: his Qingqing should live in a big house, not here. It seems he has to work harder.
Half an hour later, Shen Mu came out of the bath. The beauty emerged from the bath with wet hair clinging to her scalp and long, curled eyelashes still damp with moisture.
Gu Yanchuan was stunned, his mouth dry. This Qingqing should be kept in the house for him to admire alone, preferably in bed.
"I'm done washing up, you can go wash up too." Shen Muqing dried her hair as she entered the room. "I'm going to sleep now, make yourself at home."
When Gu Yanchuan entered the bathroom, the room was filled with Qingqing's fragrance, which he found particularly captivating and intoxicating. Applying the same shower gel as Qingqing made him feel satisfied.
The "click" sound was particularly jarring in the quiet night.
Shen Muqing lay on the bed: She knew this man was dishonest, luckily she had locked the door beforehand.
The sound of the lock turning was accompanied by a pleading male voice: "Qingqing, please open the door."
Shen Muqing warned herself that she must not open the door. Letting a man she had only known for a short time sleep in her house was already the limit; she couldn't push her luck any further.
She pretended to be asleep, ignoring the man's pleas outside the door, but he persisted in gently banging on the door.
Afraid of disturbing the neighbors, Shen Muqing opened the door with a cold face and gritted teeth: "What else do you want?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing I saw when I opened the door was a man's naked upper body, with water droplets sliding down his collarbone and disappearing into his waistband.
Faced with such a sensual scene, Shen Muqing believed that no vigorous woman could resist. Gu Yanchuan's perfectly proportioned muscles were the epitome of "muscular when undressed, slim when clothed."
Shen Muqing pretended to squint, but his gaze was actually fixed on the abs.
Gu Yanchuan didn't expose her, but secretly struck a pose and cautiously said, "Qingqing, I don't have a blanket."
Shen Muqing really wanted to clear her head and figure out what she was thinking all day.
"Wait for me to get it for you." She turned around and went back into her room, then brought out a blanket for Gu Yanchuan.
Gu Yanchuan accepted the gift and politely thanked her, "Thank you, Qingqing!"
Shen Muqing smiled and looked up at him: "Is there anything else? If not, then get some sleep, understand? Don't knock on the door again." After saying that, she closed and locked the door without any hesitation.
Despite her calm exterior, she was practically in turmoil inside: This man was incredibly alluring; who would have thought that the aloof and handsome man at work during the day would be so adorable after taking a shower? It was simply unfair.
She had a good night's sleep, and perhaps because there were still people at home, Shen Mu woke up earlier than usual. She yawned as she left her room and saw the man sleeping in the living room.
The man was curled up on the sofa, the blanket not even completely covering his body. He was truly blessed with good looks; even in his sleep, his face was so handsome.
Perhaps it was because Shen Muqing's gaze was too intense, but when Gu Yanchuan opened his eyes, he saw the woman he had been longing for not far away. It felt so good.
"You're awake? Get up and wash up."
"Okay." The man, who had just gotten up, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, his tone soft and gentle.
It's bizarre that she actually finds Gu Yanchuan cute; she must not be fully awake yet.
After washing up, Shen Muqing and Gu Yanchuan stared at each other, and Shen Muqing awkwardly said, "I can't cook, let's go out for breakfast."
“I do,” Gu Yanchuan, dressed in a suit, replied. “Do you have any ingredients at home?”
"It seems like all we have left are noodles." Shen Muqing went to the kitchen and rummaged around, finding a tube of dried noodles.
"Is it okay to have noodles for breakfast?"
Gu Yanchuan sought Shen Muqing's consent. Since it wasn't her doing the work, there was absolutely no problem. Shen Muqing nodded.
At the dinner table, Shen Muqing watched Gu Yanchuan's busy figure and sighed: This is the kind of life a strong woman like her should live.
Even the hardest-hearted woman would soften upon waking up to find a 186cm tall CEO cooking and cleaning for her.
Gu Yanchuan quickly brought out two bowls of noodles. Shen Muqing smelled the aroma of the noodles and thought, "This is really a delicious dish."
"I didn't expect President Gu to be able to cook. It smells pretty good." Shen Muqing made no attempt to hide her praise. Men like him should be mass-produced.
"As long as Qingqing likes it." The man being praised didn't think it was something to brag about; it was just a normal little thing.
The two quickly finished their breakfast and ran into the auntie across the street who was returning from grocery shopping.
The aunt looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Xiao Shen, your boyfriend is quite handsome."
Just as Shen Muqing was about to deny it, Gu Yanchuan, who was beside her, immediately agreed: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Xiao Shen, come to my house for dinner sometime, and bring your boyfriend along."
"Yes, Auntie." Gu Yanchuan replied politely. He was completely different from the cold and aloof Gu Yanchuan who looked down on people when Shen Muqing first arrived.
After this little incident, Shen Muqing questioned him: "Why did you admit it just now? It would have been so bad to let people misunderstand."
Gu Yanchuan gripped the steering wheel with one hand, not turning his head, only revealing his sharply defined jawline as he looked at Shen Muqing: "Isn't Qingqing's situation inevitable?"
"I've noticed you're a bit narcissistic and shameless," Shen Muqing muttered softly.
Even the softest voice was caught by Gu Yanchuan, who chuckled, "Isn't it true that only the shameless can get a wife?"
Shen Muqing didn't know where his twisted logic came from, so she looked up and turned to look out the window, no longer looking at him. "Put me down when we're almost at the company. I don't want others to misunderstand."
Gu Yanchuan knew that if he continued to provoke Shen Muqing, she would really get angry. Although she looked cute when she was angry, he couldn't bear to see her upset. As Shen Muqing had asked, he dropped her off about 300 meters from the company.
Gu Yanchuan shamelessly said, "See you later, Qingqing."
Shen Muqing got out of the car, not even glancing at him, and walked straight ahead. This man is really no good.
Soon after arriving at the company, Shen Muqing noticed that Su Mohuan was sitting at her desk with a worried look on her face, looking unhappy.
"Huanhuan, what's wrong?"
Upon seeing that it was Shen Muqing, Su Mohuan looked at her as if she had seen her savior: "Qingqing, come and help me quickly."
