Chapter 159 His little girl is so cute even when she's angry
Night, like a thick velvet blanket, slowly enveloped Country F.
In the room on the fifteenth floor, only a small bedside lamp was lit, casting two cuddling shadows on the wall in a dim yellow light.
Gu Baobao had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom wearing her soft pink pajamas when she saw Lu Zhanming, who had also finished washing up, standing between the two beds. Then, very naturally, he lifted the blanket on her bed and sat down.
"Why!"
Gu Baobao's eyes widened.
"Lu Zhanming, go to your bed!"
Lu Zhanming leaned against the headboard, having taken off his military jacket and wearing only a white cotton vest, revealing his well-defined arm muscles.
He patted the spot next to him, speaking with an air of self-righteousness:
"I want to sleep cuddling with my partner."
Gu Baobao's face flushed:
"Who said you're my boyfriend...?"
"We just kissed this afternoon, and you're already denying it?"
Lu Zhanming raised an eyebrow, his usually cold and stern face now adorned with a bright, almost roguish smile.
“Comrade Gu Baobao, you have to take responsibility for kissing someone; this is a matter of principle.”
Gu Baobao could hardly believe that this was Lu Zhanming, the Commander Lu who would look away from her even if she glanced at him on the island, and who spoke in such a rigid manner!
After one kiss, she was like a completely different person!
"You...you weren't like this before..."
She muttered to herself, but her feet moved involuntarily to the edge of the bed.
"Before, when I didn't have a boyfriend, I had to keep a respectable image."
Lu Zhanming reached out and gently pulled her to the bedside.
"Now that we have it, what's the point of serving it? Come here and go to sleep."
Gu Baobao was half-carried and half-lifted onto the bed by him. Before she could react, the blanket was already on, and Lu Zhanming's strong arm went under her neck, while his other hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
"Lu Zhanming!"
She struggled for a moment.
"Don't move."
Lu Zhanming lowered his voice, his chin resting on the top of her head.
"Baby, let me hold you while you sleep. I only feel at ease when you're in my arms."
His tone carried an undeniable gentleness, and his arm tightened just right, so tight that she couldn't break free, yet it didn't hurt.
Gu Baobao froze for a few seconds before slowly relaxing.
The room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.
The clean scent of soap emanating from Lu Zhanming, mixed with a uniquely masculine warmth, completely enveloped her.
His chest was broad and solid, and his heartbeat was steady and powerful, which could be felt through the thin fabric of his pajamas.
That's strange.
I should be too nervous to sleep.
But listening to the heartbeat and feeling the close, reassuring embrace, Gu Baobao's nerves, which had been tense all day, actually began to relax.
Lu Zhanming gently patted her back with his large hand, his movements incredibly gentle, like he was coaxing a child.
"Go to sleep,"
His voice sounded above him, deep and reassuring.
"There's still a tough battle ahead tomorrow. Don't think about anything else, I'm here for you."
Gu Baobao softly hummed in agreement and closed her eyes.
Resting my head on his arm, nestled in his arms, this feeling of being completely protected... isn't so bad.
She was thinking in a daze, her consciousness gradually fading.
Lu Zhanming felt the little girl in his arms breathe evenly and deeply, and knew she had fallen asleep.
He opened his eyes and looked down at her in the dim light.
Gu Baobao was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes casting small shadows under her eyelids, her cheeks were fair and soft, and her lips were slightly pouting, making her look completely unguarded.
His heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something, and it went completely limp.
He lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on her forehead.
Then he closed his eyes again and hugged her even tighter.
In the middle of the night, Gu Baobao turned over.
One leg unconsciously lifted up and rested directly on Lu Zhanming's waist.
Lu Zhanming woke up almost instantly; his soldierly alertness made him exceptionally sensitive to any touch.
He opened his eyes and, by the moonlight filtering through the curtains, saw that Gu Baobao was sleeping soundly, almost lying on her side with her leg casually across his waist.
He paused for two seconds, then chuckled softly.
His little girl has a rather...bold sleeping posture.
He gently grasped her leg, which was draped around his waist, and tried to move it away, but his movements stopped when his hand touched her delicate, warm skin.
never mind.
Lu Zhanming closed his eyes again, and continued to gently pat her back with his other hand.
That's settled then.
He liked it when she approached him so unguarded.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky over Paris was just beginning to lighten.
Lu Zhanming's biological clock woke him up precisely on time.
He opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to look down at the person in his arms.
Gu Baobao was still asleep, but in an even more extreme position than last night. She was practically lying on top of him, her face buried in the crook of his neck, her breathing warm and deep.
Lu Zhanming lay motionless, letting her press down on him, his eyes fixed on her peaceful sleeping face.
He watched for a full five minutes before reluctantly moving slightly.
"Baby,"
His voice was low and hoarse from just waking up.
"Time to get up."
Gu Baobao frowned, snuggled closer to him, and mumbled indistinctly:
"Hmm... just five more minutes of sleep..."
Her sleepy-eyed look was so adorable; her lips, red and full from a good night's sleep, were slightly pouting, as if asking for a kiss.
Lu Zhanming's Adam's apple bobbed.
Then, he followed his heart, lowered his head, and kissed those two alluring lips.
This kiss was much gentler than last night's, carrying the unique freshness of the morning and a touch of undeniable dominance.
Gu Baobao was woken up by a kiss.
She opened her eyes groggily and saw Lu Zhanming's face so close to hers, and the undisguised tenderness in his deep eyes.
"you……"
She had barely opened her mouth when she was kissed even more deeply.
When Lu Zhanming finally let go of her, Gu Baobao was completely awake, her face as red as a ripe apple.
"Lu Zhanming! You're being a pervert this early in the morning!"
She punched his chest in embarrassment and anger.
Lu Zhanming smiled, took her hand, and kissed her fingertips:
"How can waking up your partner be considered being a pervert?"
"you……"
Gu Baobao couldn't argue with him, so she glared at him angrily.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zhanming's heart softened, and he leaned over and kissed her cheek again.
"Get up quickly, today is the first day of the exhibition, we can't be late."
When it came to serious matters, Gu Baobao immediately calmed down.
She pushed Lu Zhanming away, sat up, scratched her slightly messy hair, and rushed into the bathroom to wash up in her slippers.
As Lu Zhanming watched her retreating figure, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
His little girl is so cute even when she's angry.
