Chapter 82 Domineering
As Ji Yunzhou spoke, he simply picked up Gu Yuan and carried him sideways. He sat on the sofa and placed Gu Yuan on his lap like a large doll, hugging him.
Gu Yuan was still immersed in the shock of the news just now. He didn't react for a moment and just leaned obediently on his strong chest.
"So, Li Chuan signed a contract to sell himself and entered the underworld. He started from the bottom and worked his way up, making meritorious deeds and getting promoted, and now he has become the young and promising Lord Li.
Oh, by the way, he's currently half a level higher than me in the underworld, which is really annoying to think about."
Ji Yunzhou curled his lips, a hint of genuine depression in his tone, but it quickly dissipated.
Gu Yuan leaned against him, slowly digesting this incredible information.
No wonder he always shows extraordinary protectiveness and possessiveness towards Gu Jing. It turns out that it is not just a simple childhood sweetheart friendship.
"So... Li Chuan has been by Xiao Jing's side since he was a child?"
Gu Yuan's voice was soft: "But why don't I have any impression?"
"Um."
Ji Yunzhou rubbed his chin against the top of his head: "Because the underworld was undergoing reforms at that time, he didn't have time to return to the human world. After returning to the human world, Li Chuan protected him very well.
That's why Gu Jing has grown up so heartless, knowing nothing about ghosts and gods, and still thinking the world is full of love and peace."
Gu Yuan felt mixed emotions: "That Li Chuan... how painful it must be for him. Guarding his lover, remembering everything, but unable to speak, unable to recognize him, and having to watch him know nothing about him, I can only stay by his side as a brother..."
Ji Yunzhou put his arm around his shoulders and said in a quiet voice, "This is his choice. Everyone has different ways of expressing love and taking responsibility. If I were him..."
He paused, turned his head and stole a kiss on Gu Yuan's cheek, his tone instantly becoming overbearing: "I have already tied you to my side. I don't care whether he has any memories of past lives or present lives. I will stamp and authenticate you first. If anyone dares to say anything wrong about you, or dares to stop me, I will..."
"So Li Chuan can be your boss."
Gu Yuan rolled his eyes at him angrily and interrupted him: "And you are just a childish ghost who relies on the marriage contract to bully others."
"Hey! You're hurting my feelings by saying that!"
Ji Yunzhou immediately curled his lips and made a hurt expression, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
He then became proud again: "But it doesn't matter, I have you now, so it doesn't matter if I don't have a formal status for the time being, you are mine anyway.
I am better than Li Chuan in this respect. He still has to wait patiently for his child to come to his senses."
Gu Yuan was amazed at the speed of his expression change and shook his head helplessly, but still wanted to ask: "Then...will Xiao Jing's memory be restored in the future?"
Ji Yunzhou was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to calm down.
His voice deepened a bit, with a rare solemnity: "No, Li Chuan will not allow it. He paid a great price to exchange for Gu Jing's peace in this life. He will not let the heaviness and pain of his previous life disturb Gu Jing again.
He hoped that Gu Jing would always be just Gu Jing, an ordinary, happy college student whose biggest worries were just essays and exams.
Gu Yuan seemed to be lost in thought.
Ji Yunzhou finally sighed softly and concluded: "Let it be. They have their own path to follow, and we have ours, just like now..."
His hands began to become dishonest again, and his voice became lazy and ambiguous again: "Shouldn't we do something serious now, Mrs. Ji?"
Gu Yuan: "..."
He knew it! This old ghost's seriousness would never exceed three minutes!
His face flushed, and he thrust his elbows back, trying to break free from this increasingly dangerous embrace: "You idiot! Get up! I'm going to read a book!"
To Ji Yunzhou, his struggle was no different from a kitten scratching itself, completely intimidating.
"How can a book be as good as me? Besides..."
Ji Yunzhou easily suppressed his insignificant resistance, chuckled, and pressed him even tighter into the soft sofa. His tall body enveloped him, and his voice was low and seductive:
"I am a ghost, it's not the first day Yuanyuan has known this..."
As he said this, he was about to kiss her.
“Bang!”
A crisp sound, not too loud but extremely clear, rang out in the quiet living room.
The air froze instantly.
Gu Yuan's hand was still frozen in mid-air, his palm slightly numb.
He widened his eyes and looked at the look of surprise on Ji Yunzhou's handsome face so close to him.
Ji Yunzhou's movements completely stopped, and his half-smile expression was full of disbelief.
He slowly raised his hand and touched the side of his face that had just been attacked. Although it didn't hurt at all, the psychological impact was huge.
For thousands of years, I'm afraid no one has dared...
No, absolutely no one dared to slap him, even lightly.
"Yuanyuan?"
Ji Yunzhou's voice was filled with grievance: "You... hit me?"
That look was like that of a large dog that had been kicked by its owner for no reason.
Gu Yuan was also confused. It was completely a conditioned reflex!
Who made this guy suddenly get so close, his tone and movements were so...
Aggressive, he was nervous for a moment...
Looking at Ji Yunzhou's rare frustrated look, he felt guilty, wanted to laugh, and was a little at a loss.
"Uh... I-I didn't mean to."
Gu Yuan hurriedly explained, his voice stuttering for a moment, and then he secretly retracted it: "It's just... it's just that I haven't rested well, really, my waist is still sore... Don't tease me..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, his cheeks flushed, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look directly into Ji Yunzhou's too deep eyes.
Ji Yunzhou always makes a fuss until very late, and he is extremely energetic. He really... can't handle it!
He is still a college student who needs to attend classes on time and complete his homework!
Both body and mind need rest!
Ji Yunzhou stared at him for several seconds, and the complexity of his eyes made Gu Yuan's scalp tingle.
After a while, Ji Yunzhou suddenly became like a deflated ball, and the strong aura around him disappeared completely in an instant.
He sighed helplessly, reached out and grabbed Gu Yuan's hand that had attempted to commit the crime, pulled it to his lips, and bit the fingertip lightly, leaving a shallow tooth mark as a small revenge.
Then he resigned himself to his fate and buried his head in the crook of Gu Yuan's neck, took a deep breath, and muttered in a muffled voice:
"Okay, okay, it's my wife, what can I do?"
His voice was filled with laughter: "Just spoil me!"
After saying that, he raised his head, and although he didn't make any further moves, he still held the person in his arms.
He curled his lips and began to count, complaining half-heartedly:
"You won't let me touch you, won't let me kiss you, and now you dare to commit domestic violence... As a husband, I have absolutely no dignity at all."
He glanced at Gu Yuan with a resentful look in his eyes: "If I tell anyone, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Ji Yunzhou, who used to scare thousands of evil spirits in the ghost world, is now being bullied by a little ancestor at home."
Gu Yuan watched his exaggerated performance, and the nervousness and guilt he had just felt completely disappeared, leaving only speechless silence.
He pushed Ji Yunzhou's shoulder and said, "Who abused you? It was obviously you who started it first... who started it first!!"
"How can you call it a conspiracy? You are my wife, it's only natural."
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, his fingertips gently scraping across Gu Yuan's nose: "It's too late, Mrs. Ji, in this life, the next life, and the next life, you can't escape."
His tone was joking, but deep in his eyes was an unmistakable seriousness and paranoia.
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He was always powerless to resist such a look.
He lowered his head and muttered softly: "...domineering."
"Just domineering."
Ji Yunzhou admitted confidently and finally released the restraint: "Don't you want to read a book? Bring it here, I'll read it with you."
