"Go to sleep first, I'll settle the score with you when I wake up."
Although I really want to settle the score with her right now.
But seeing how exhausted she looked, Gu Yanbai decided to be magnanimous and let her off the hook for now.
Su Nianxue was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow!
Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
When she woke up, the sun wasn't so bright anymore.
She turned over and rested her head on Gu Yanbai's arm.
"Are you awake?"
"Mmm!" Her voice carried a languid quality, like someone who had just woken up, and a hint of drowsiness.
"Can we settle the accounts now?"
Su Nianxue had just woken up, her mind still foggy, and she rubbed against his arm, her thoughts still hazy.
"What's there to calculate? What's there to calculate?"
I'm not a child anymore. I have my own ideas and don't need you to control everything I do.
"Looks like he's had a good night's sleep and is now much bolder, even daring to challenge me!"
Perhaps because he was lying down, his voice, though somewhat cold and stern, was not frightening at all.
"So what do you want?"
"I've got everything ready, you can't just throw it away, can you?" Su Nianxue said gently.
"Do you think I'd dare throw it away for you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nianxue's hazy mind instantly cleared.
I have to say, he's really daring, considering his character!
She immediately put away her nonchalant attitude and put on a fawning smile.
"You dare, you absolutely dare!"
It's all my fault. I was so sleepy that I blurted out something I shouldn't have.
I promise this will only happen once. From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say, okay?
Gu Yanbai smiled, thinking, "This brat, she certainly knows how to say nice things."
But he was certain that if something like this happened again, she would definitely act first and ask for permission later.
“Su Nianxue, I’m twenty-five this year, not three.”
"I'm telling you, when I get up, I'm going to chop up all that junk of yours and burn it for firewood."
Su Nianxue's expression changed; given his personality, it was indeed possible.
So she gritted her teeth, pulled his arm away, and snuggled into his arms, rubbing against him.
"Gu Yanbai, please don't touch my things, okay?"
I really want to start a tofu business.
I promise I will never be greedy.
"From now on, I'll sell tofu just like I sell bean sprouts, only on market days, is that alright?"
She practically choked out those words, her voice so sweet it made even herself feel physically uncomfortable.
However, it's because she's the weaker party!
What if he really throws away her things if she doesn't appease him?
Thinking about it, she then used her finger to draw a few faint circles on his chest through his clothes.
The soft, fragrant body in his arms and the tingling, itchy sensation in his chest made Gu Yanbai's breathing become heavier.
After just a few days, she's actually learned how to flirt!
I must say, this feeling is actually quite nice.
However, he hadn't forgotten that he was still competing with her!
If we lose this time, there's no guarantee she won't become arrogant and overbearing in the future.
If he lets her get away with it so easily, she'll probably take him even less seriously in the future.
No, he absolutely cannot let that happen.
He had to let her know that he was the head of the household.
He straightened his face, swallowed hard twice, and forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his body.
He coughed lightly, trying to keep his voice as cold as possible, "You're trying to use your femininity on me?"
"Yeah, tell me, did you fall for their trick or not?"
Su Nianxue continued working with her hands, raising her clear, bright eyes, her voice unusually soft and sweet.
Seeing her innocent yet frank appearance, Gu Yanbai almost lost his composure.
He took a deep breath and silently encouraged himself.
No, Gu Yanbai, you have to hold on.
We absolutely must not let her manipulate us so easily!
"Don't try to bribe me!"
You think I'll let you off the hook like this?
Sensing that his tone had softened, Su Nianxue immediately seized the opportunity.
She leaned forward and gently kissed his thin lips. "Now, have you changed your mind?"
"Su Nianxue, you've learned how to seduce men after just a few days?"
Su Nianxue raised an eyebrow and deftly unbuttoned his shirt. "Just tell me if you like it or not?"
Gu Yanbai could no longer hold back. He flipped over and pinned her down, taking the initiative.
"Let me try it first before we talk about it!"
At this moment, he put all thoughts of negotiation and manipulation out of his mind.
Never mind her, I'll settle the score with her later.
………
Gu Yanliu woke up after a while, looking at their room with a worried expression.
I wonder if my sister-in-law managed to persuade her brother?
Did her brother bully his sister-in-law?
However, there was no sound of arguing, only a strange whimpering sound and a creaking sound.
Gu Yanbai didn't leave the room until the sun was already setting in the west.
Gu Yanliu hurriedly asked, "Hey, where's my sister-in-law? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"
"Your sister-in-law is tired and wants to sleep a little longer."
Although his voice remained as cool and aloof as ever, the smile at the corner of his mouth was unmistakable.
Having lived with him for many years, Gu Yanliu could tell what was going on just by looking at him. Did he agree?
She asked tentatively, "Brother, have you agreed to let us sell tofu?"
He gets quite angry when this is mentioned.
He had completely taken control and was almost able to get them under his thumb.
