"I have some things to take care of right now, I'll come and keep you company later, okay?" Gu Jingchun said softly.
Shen Hechuan shook his head drunkenly, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, his voice slurred yet stubborn:
"No... I know you're going to see that pretty boy... You can't go... Come up here... I want to sleep with you..."
He muttered, then added, "I want to hold your slender waist..."
Gu Jingchun chuckled: "Pretty boy? Where did this pretty boy come from?"
What makes Shen Hechuan so resentful?
However, Gu Jingchun finally gave in to his persistent pleading and had no choice but to lie down beside him.
Shen Hechuan tightened his arms with satisfaction, pulling the person into his embrace, and soon began to breathe evenly and deeply.
Gu Jingchun confirmed that he was fast asleep before carefully trying to get up.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to get up, her waist suddenly tightened—Shen Hechuan's strong arms pulled her back.
She fell back into that warm, solid embrace, unable to break free.
"Go to sleep..." Shen Hechuan murmured softly, tightening his arms around her even more.
Gu Jingchun lay on his chest, unable to look closely at his sleeping face.
It must be admitted that Shen Hechuan is extremely handsome, especially his eyes, which are deep, affectionate, and radiant.
Back then, she was captivated by those eyes and chose him at first sight.
Even though he was asleep with his eyes closed, his handsome features still made it impossible for her to look away.
She couldn't help but reach out her finger and gently trace his eyebrows and eyes.
From his striking brow bone to his high, straight nose, and finally, my fingertips rest on his soft lips.
Gu Jingchun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
Since you've already decided to go back, why suppress yourself anymore?
On a whim, she pinched his chin, lifted it slightly, and leaned down to kiss him.
The gentle touch of their lips together made Shen Hechuan slowly open his eyes.
Through his blurry vision, he could see Gu Jingchun lying on top of him, kissing him passionately.
He instinctively closed his eyes, deepening the kiss, and took the initiative to entwine and suckle.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the warm and inviting atmosphere inside the tent.
The night was long, and the air was thick with the scents of life.
Shen Hechuan felt unbearably hot all over and instinctively sought comfort from Gu Jingchun's slightly cool body.
His kisses grew more passionate and intense, and his breathing became heavy.
Just as he was lost in passion, his large hand instinctively reached for Gu Jingchun's waistband—
A slightly cool hand slipped silently into his clothes like a nimble snake.
"Hmm..."
Shen Hechuan trembled and his eyes widened instantly, meeting Gu Jingchun's pure yet alluring gaze.
When Gu Jingchun saw him wake up, a sly smile appeared on his lips, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he deliberately pinched him mischievously.
This series of actions, like a fairy casting a spell, caused Shen Hechuan's blood to rush to his head!
He let out a low growl, then suddenly flipped over and pinned Gu Jingchun firmly beneath him.
Gu Jingchun met his burning gaze, her smile unwavering. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered each word softly:
"This time... I won't let you off the hook."
These words, like a spark thrown into dry tinder, instantly ignited all of Shen Hechuan's memories.
Even though he was still drunk, the vivid images of how Gu Jingchun had clung to him and made him unable to resist her all those years ago flooded his mind.
The heat in his body almost burned away his reason; his eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to seize those alluring red lips—
"Mother! Uncle Wenxi, he..."
The tightly closed door was pushed open with a "bang," and Gu Jinxi's small figure rushed in!
Gu Jingchun's heart skipped a beat, and almost reflexively, he raised his foot and kicked—
"ah--!"
With a cry of pain, Shen Hechuan crashed heavily onto the cold floor!
The impact to his head brought him back to his senses for a moment.
Gu Jinxi's voice stopped abruptly. He blinked his big eyes, looked at his disheveled father on the floor, then at his mother on the bed with her cheeks slightly flushed, and asked in confusion:
"Mother...did Father bully you?"
Gu Jingchun: "..."
She took a deep breath, quickly rolled out of bed, and tried her best to maintain a calm and composed expression, subtly placing herself between her son and Shen Hechuan on the ground.
"That's not true."
She said calmly, "Your father... just had a nightmare and accidentally fell down. It has nothing to do with your mother."
Seeing the lingering doubt in her son's eyes, she immediately changed the subject, "What did you say happened to Uncle Wenxi?"
Gu Jinxi then remembered the important matter:
"Uncle Wenxi is drunk and has fallen asleep at his doorstep! No matter how we call him, he won't wake up and won't let anyone touch him. He insists that you, Mom, go and check on him!"
Gu Jingchun nodded: "Okay, Mother will go with you to take a look."
With that, he took Gu Jinxi's hand and quickly left the room.
Lying on the ground, Shen Hechuan watched helplessly as Gu Jingchun left without a second glance, his teeth itching with anger.
The intense dizziness and dull pain in his head made him struggle a few times, but he ultimately couldn't stand up and chase after them.
Inside Ye Wenxi's room.
Gu Jingchun pushed open the door and entered, only to see Ye Wenxi with her long hair disheveled, her face slightly pale, leaning weakly against the headboard.
It added a touch of gentleness to his whole demeanor.
He was holding a bowl of hangover soup, and was sipping it slowly with a furrowed brow.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Gu Jingchun, then immediately tilted his head back and drank the remaining medicine in the bowl in one gulp.
Perhaps he drank too quickly, a drop of dark brown medicine slid down the corner of his lips, rolled over his slightly protruding Adam's apple, and quietly disappeared into the depths of his loose-fitting clothes.
Gu Jingchun's eyes flashed, and he turned his face away without making a sound.
Ye Wenxi put down the empty bowl and looked at her, his voice hoarse with drunkenness:
"I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, Jingchun."
Gu Jingchun then turned his gaze back, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry:
"But what happened?"
She knew Ye Wenxi's personality well; unless it was an emergency, she would never have asked Jinxi to go looking for her.
Ye Wenxi made a move to get up, but was seized by a strong wave of dizziness and had no choice but to lean back.
"I'm afraid I'll be rude today."
Ye Wenxi chuckled helplessly.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun said, "The situation is urgent, so let's not worry about these formalities."
Ye Wenxi took a breath, her expression grave:
"We just received a secret report that some new rumors are spreading in the palace... which may be extremely detrimental to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Jingchun nodded:
“I have heard about this matter. It is nothing but idle gossip and rumors. It must have been done by someone on purpose, and it should not affect the overall situation.”
Shen Hechuan has also learned of this matter today, and therefore decided to return to the palace as soon as possible.
Ye Wenxi slowly shook her head, her tone heavy:
"No, this rumor is coming on strong, and the implications behind it are probably far more complex than they appear. If not handled properly, it could be detrimental to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Jingchun's heart tightened, and he immediately frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
