Chapter 60
Hearing this, Gu Qingyue stroked the bones of his palm with her fingers and blinked, "Do you regret it now? That time you rejected me?"
Gu Hengsheng smiled gently and raised his hand to touch her face: "Yeah, I regret it."
His answer pleased her, and Gu Qingyue's eyes curved.
There were a few scattered knocks on the door, not loudly, and it was obvious that the person knocking was feeling somewhat nervous.
Gu Hengsheng turned around, looked outside the door, and said, "Here I come."
Gu Qingyue released her grip on his hand and said, "Go and get busy."
Gu Hengsheng said, "I will be here very late, so if you are tired, go to bed."
"good."
Gu Hengsheng opened the door and left. Gu Qingyue knelt on the soft bed and surveyed his surroundings. A Patek Philippe watch sat on the bedside table, and his suit hung on a hanger.
Gu Qingyue lay down on the big white bed, and seemed to be able to smell his breath. Gu Qingyue thought again, two hours ago, he kissed her forehead, and she said that they should take it slow and there should be a process of falling in love.
She frowned, wondering what he would think. She turned over and lay on the bed, one hand resting on her chin, the other holding her phone, sending him a message.
Gu Qingyue: [Do you think it’s too fast?]
After sending the message, Gu Qingyue covered her phone with the quilt. Ten minutes later, she received his reply message, a question mark.
Gu Qingyue pursed her lips, pondering her words. Her finger paused in the input box for a long time before typing: [Do you think I'm too enthusiastic and not reserved at all?]
Two minutes later, Gu Hengsheng sent a message: [I'm very happy that you are enthusiastic about me, don't think too much.]
Gu Hengsheng: [Qingyue, promise me one thing.]
Gu Qingyue frowned in confusion: [What?]
Gu Hengsheng: [It's not a good sign for a boss to be distracted in front of his employees. Right now, I need to focus on the documents at hand. Qingyue, help me maintain my dignity as a boss.]
Gu Qingyue suddenly felt that Gu Hengsheng was very good at talking. Even if she disturbed him, he could still make his words sound like love words. Gu Qingyue was very pleased and did not feel unhappy at the moment. She tacitly did not reply to his message.
She didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, the wall lamp beside the bed was on, and the orange light shone on the snow-white pillow. She had an illusion that the snow-white pillow was also stained with a faint yellow.
Gu Qingyue turned over, half of her face pressed against the pillow, her eyes fixed on the bathroom door. A ray of light shone from under the door, and the sound of running water could be heard. Gu Qingyue had no idea when he came in, and had no recollection of it.
The sound of running water in the bathroom stopped, and he coughed a few times, which he could hear was deliberately suppressed. After a while, the bathroom door opened and a cloud of hot air rushed out. It had the scent of shower gel, very light, and the fragrance of tea.
He left the bedroom and brought in a glass of water, which he gently placed on the bedside table. Then, the bed sank slightly. Gu Qingyue stared at Gu Hengsheng's back and said, "When did you come in? I didn't notice at all."
Gu Hengsheng turned his head, lowered his eyebrows to look at her, smiled, and said, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I'm a light sleeper and always wake up once or twice during the night."
Gu Hengsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Has this situation always happened?"
"Yeah." Gu Qingyue nodded dejectedly, then suddenly sighed and said with a melancholy look, "I've discovered that being a boss isn't easy at all."
Gu Hengsheng smiled: "What do you mean?"
"You'll know once you see it." Gu Qingyue said, "I asked your assistant, and he said you've been busy late these days."
Gu Hengsheng nodded. When he lifted the quilt, he caught a glimpse of her eyelashes trembling slightly. Then he heard her say, "I want to drink some water."
Gu Hengsheng took the water cup from the bedside table. Gu Qingyue got up from the bed, her hair scattered on her cheeks. She lowered her head slightly and drank the water in the cup from his hand.
She took a few sips, leaving half a cup. Gu Hengsheng naturally took it, drank the water in the cup, and put it on the bedside table. He heard her say behind him, "I'm a little nervous."
There was a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Gu Hengsheng looked at her gently: "Why are you so nervous?"
"Lying in the same bed with you," she confessed.
Gu Hengsheng thought for a moment and suggested, "If you're not used to it, I'll sleep on the sofa?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingyue grabbed his wrists with both hands, fearing that he would immediately pick up the pillow and go to the sofa. She shook her head and comforted herself with a soliloquy: "It's okay, I can overcome it. Besides, sooner or later, I will get used to this kind of thing."
Gu Hengsheng glanced at her and asked, "You'll get used to it sooner or later?"
Gu Qingyue looked up in confusion: "Do you have foreign habits?"
Her thoughts were jumping around, and Gu Hengsheng couldn't really keep up with her pace. He asked in confusion, "What?"
"Husband and wife should sleep in separate rooms." Gu Qingyue said seriously, revealing her thoughts to him, "I don't like this way of doing things. There's no warmth at all. It feels like a transaction."
Gu Hengsheng shook his head, comforted her, and said, "Don't worry, I don't have this habit."
Gu Qingyue sighed, then thought of another question: "How should I tell my mother about our situation?"
This is a problem that makes it difficult to start.
"I'll explain this to my second sister-in-law," Gu Hengsheng said. "Go to bed. It's getting late."
Gu Hengsheng was lying on the bed. Gu Qingyue approached him and suddenly said, "Touch the palm of my hand."
Gu Hengsheng didn't understand why, but he still reached under the quilt and touched her palm. Her hand was small, and her palm was slightly warm and a little wet. Then Gu Hengsheng heard her say, "Look, my palm is sweating."
Gu Hengsheng laughed and comforted her: "Qingyue, don't worry, I won't do anything to you right now."
Gu Qingyue snorted lightly: "That's not what I meant. If you want to, now..."
Gu Hengsheng sighed, his tone rather helpless, "Qingyue, I don't want to stay awake until dawn in the second half of the night."
It was a rare occasion for him to lose his composure, and Gu Qingyue was so delighted that she laughed softly.
That night, Gu Qingyue slept soundly, not waking up in the middle of the night. In her dreams, she always felt a warm embrace holding her. When she woke up the next day, the sun shone through a thin layer of curtains onto the snow-white bed.
Gu Qingyue woke up half asleep. Gu Hengsheng had already woken up. He was washing up in the bathroom. Hearing the noise in the room, he came out and said, "Are you awake?"
Gu Qingyue nodded and raised her hand to beckon him over.
Gu Hengsheng approached, leaning forward with one hand on the bed sheet. Gu Qingyue wiped a bit of white foam from his chin with her fingers. She brought it to her nose and sniffed it, her face full of curiosity: "Toothpaste foam?"
"Shaving cream," he said.
Gu Qingyue put her finger to her nose again and said, "It smells like the fresh sea air. It smells nice. Does it taste like the salty sea air?"
"I haven't tried it." Gu Hengsheng seemed to be able to catch her thoughts. He took a piece of paper from the tissue box on the bedside table and wiped her fingers clean. "Okay, get up and wash up. I'll take you to have breakfast. I'll answer your questions about the 100,000 whys another day."
Gu Qingyue was not disappointed. She hugged the quilt and sighed seriously: "Alas."
Gu Hengsheng laughed.
Gu Qingyue got up from her bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. She had come in a hurry last night and didn't bring much with her, only a tube of lipstick in her bag. Gu Qingyue faced a mirror and carefully applied her lipstick. The lipstick was a plum color, and Gu Qingyue applied two coats. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her skin was fair, and with lipstick on, she looked just as good as she did with makeup. After all, she was still blessed with youth.
Gu Qingyue left the bedroom. Gu Hengsheng was talking on the phone in the living room. When he saw her come out, he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I know. Let's do this for now."
He took the phone from his ear and raised his hand to signal her to come over. She stood in front of him. Gu Hengsheng looked at her with lowered eyebrows and said, "Are you wearing makeup?"
Gu Qingyue sighed: "It seems that you are a straight man."
"What do you mean?" Gu Hengsheng asked gently.
"There's a popular joke online about judging straight men: if you wear lipstick or not, then you can tell if a man who wears makeup is definitely straight." Gu Qingyue blinked and said, "I'm relieved."
Gu Hengsheng raised his hand and tapped her forehead, saying, "What are you talking about so early in the morning? Go have breakfast."
