"Hey, you! I just went to get your medicine, and you're thinking about me like this!" Lu Chen pointed at Gu Qingcheng and complained.
He had spent a long time coaxing Gu Qingcheng, who had finally mumbled out the whole story.
"I... you're always so unserious, and I was angry. You left me here alone."
Lu Chen was also getting a bit annoyed. He snorted lightly,
"I don't care, my heart is broken."
"Ah..." Gu Qingcheng never expected it to be so serious. She tugged at Lu Chen's arm and whispered,
"Don't be angry anymore, okay? At worst... at worst, I'll call you by that old title again."
"What!" Lu Chen's interest was instantly piqued. He turned to look at her,
"Are you serious?"
Gu Qingcheng nodded slightly, but she was already incredibly embarrassed.
Rubbing his hands, he took a deep breath and after a long pause, shyly called out,
"Lao... husband, little darling."
This time, Gu Qingcheng didn't use a fake voice but called out this phrase with her real voice.
After saying it, she buried her head in the sofa.
Lu Chen's heart trembled.
It was a different tone, not a fake voice, but it had a very mature and alluring feel.
Lu Chen no longer felt like arguing with her. He felt his cells burning, and certain parts of him were already responding.
Just then, Lu Chen's phone suddenly rang, suppressing the beast that was about to awaken within him.
Lu Chen quickly answered the phone. It was his senior sister.
"Hello, what? Business trip? Still two days? And what about godmother? She's gone back to her hometown too? Okay..."
After hanging up, Lu Chen shrugged and said to Gu Qingcheng,
"I was planning to introduce you to my family, but unfortunately, my godmother is back in her hometown, and my senior sister is also going on a business trip. After everyone leaves, it will just be us two."
Gu Qingcheng heard this and poked her head out. Inwardly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Chen brought her here, she was actually worried about meeting his family, even if it was his godmother.
Was she considered Lu Chen's girlfriend now? Probably not. They had just slept together.
Fortunately, she was lucky this time, otherwise, Gu Qingcheng wouldn't have known how to face them.
"Let's go, I'll carry you back to your room to rest."
Lu Chen gently picked up Gu Qingcheng and took her to his room.
"Alright, you rest for a while. I'll call you for dinner tonight. Let me tell you, my cooking is excellent. Even my fellow disciples from the mountain rarely get to eat my food. You should be overjoyed to eat my cooking."
With that, Lu Chen was about to leave. Gu Qingcheng, for some reason, inexplicably grabbed his arm.
Due to inertia, Lu Chen had already taken a step forward. When she pulled him, he turned around and stumbled onto Gu Qingcheng.
They were face to face, less than a fist's distance apart.
Their eyes met, and both swallowed.
Their breaths mingled on each other's faces.
A natural fragrance entered Lu Chen's nose, instantly reawakening the dormant beast within him.
Lu Chen looked at Gu Qingcheng's captivating eyes and couldn't hold back any longer. He kissed her.
This time, Gu Qingcheng offered no resistance, wrapping her arms around Lu Chen's back.
Time ticked by, for a full half hour.
By now, much of their clothing had been removed.
As they became more intimate, Lu Chen suddenly came to his senses and realized with a jolt that they were reaching the most crucial part of that night again.
Lu Chen cursed inwardly,
"Damn it! Lu Chen, you reckless fool! You only have one year left to live, and if you do this again, you'll probably only have half a year left!"
To prolong his life, Lu Chen quickly pulled his mouth away from Gu Qingcheng's. However, Gu Qingcheng was still in a daze and directly grabbed Lu Chen's head, her lips meeting his again.
"Mmmph..." Lu Chen's eyes widened as he watched Gu Qingcheng's other hand remove his last layer of protection.
Lu Chen was stunned. The beast within him surged into his brain.
"To hell with it, six months is six months!"
Death was inevitable anyway, whether sooner or later. He would cherish the present.
Thus, Lu Chen cast aside all his reservations.
In the room, Gu Qingcheng could be heard saying,
"Lu Chen, be careful, don't touch my feet..."
The next morning.
Lu Chen jolted awake.
Gu Qingcheng, with her back exposed, was still lying on top of him.
Lu Chen looked at her sleeping form on his chest and recalled the wildness of the previous night. They had slept late.
"Alas, heroes have always fallen for beauty. Even I, Lu Chen, the heir to the Flower God Palace, have fallen for this temptation," Lu Chen sighed, shaking his head.
Hearing Lu Chen's murmurs, Gu Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze.
Lu Chen forced a wry smile,
"G... good morning."
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Lu Chen indifferently, then rolled off him, pulling the blanket to cover her delicate body. She then said in a slightly lazy voice,
"I'm hungry."
Lu Chen understood immediately and said,
"My dear grandma, I'll go make you a nutritious breakfast right away!"
With that, Lu Chen flashed out of the room, quickly getting dressed.
After Lu Chen left, Gu Qingcheng rolled back over. Looking at the still-shaking door, a sweet smile bloomed on her lips.
Last night was different from that other night. Last night, Gu Qingcheng seemed to realize that she had truly fallen for this man who was a few years younger than her.
Though younger, he was indeed caring. Recalling his tenderness last night and his cute dash out the door just now, Gu Qingcheng felt that even though she had impulsively given herself to someone that other night, she had given herself to the right person!
After Lu Chen quickly made Gu Qingcheng a hearty breakfast, his fourth senior sister, Xu Siying, suddenly sent him a message, asking him to come to the Qixiang Club, saying she had something for him.
So, Lu Chen gave Gu Qingcheng some instructions.
Because her foot was not fully healed, she could walk today, albeit with difficulty. Therefore, he told Gu Qingcheng to stay at home and not go out.
Then, he left.
Lu Chen took a taxi to the entrance of the Qixiang Club.
The two qipao ladies from last time immediately recognized Lu Chen. They quickly bowed respectfully and smiled at him,
"Good morning, Young Master Lu."
As the saying goes, a smiling face is hard to refuse. Although the two had blocked Lu Chen last time, it was out of normal duty, not like in those melodramatic novels where they looked down on him and spoke rudely.
"Good morning, I'm here to see my fourth senior sister."
The taller qipao lady, named Wang Yao, quickly spoke up,
"Boss Xu is in the reception room. I'll take you to her."
With that, she led the way for Lu Chen.
The other, shorter but more voluptuous qipao lady, named Zhao Li, watched Wang Yao rush ahead to lead Lu Chen in. She stomped her high-heeled shoes in anger.
"Hmph! That Wang Yao, the slut, is so quick! I'll have to be more cunning next time!"
