Chapter 223: Chapter 201: A Major Event
Qiao Yu Xian was originally thinking about something when she heard Yuan Wei say "No trace left," her eyes suddenly blinked, and she asked, "Has there been any progress on the missing female student from Jing University?"
The Jing University female student disappeared near the old district around the school.
The police have been tracking this case.
The building where the girl disappeared has been identified, along with the specific room.
But there is absolutely no information inside the room.
Not even a fingerprint.
The house owner’s information is entirely fake, impossible to trace anything.
"No," Yuan Wei replied, "I heard Liu Zhou mention that similar incidents are happening in other cities. People are being kidnapped directly from the streets at night, both men and women, but more women. Sis, do you think there is any connection between these incidents?"
"Not sure, just suddenly thought of it," Qiao Yu Xian replied.
"Liu Zhou is following up, also helping out," Yuan Wei said, "I’m keeping tabs on this as well. I’ll let you know if we encounter any difficulties and update you as soon as there’s any progress."
"Okay," Qiao Yu Xian said as she heard the bedroom door open.
She looked towards the door and saw Gu Yanjing coming in. She said a few more words to Yuan Wei and then hung up the phone.
Gu Yanjing walked over and noticed the marks on her face: "Just woke up?"
"Yes," Qiao Yu Xian replied, then stretched out her numb hand towards him, saying softly, "It’s numb."
Gu Yanjing held her wrist, gently massaging her arm.
"Ah!" When he pressed on the numb spot, Qiao Yu Xian’s arm jerked, and she made some noise.
Gu Yanjing glanced at her.
Qiao Yu Xian looked at him and said, "Gentler."
"Alright," Gu Yanjing replied, his movements gentler now.
Qiao Yu Xian lay on the bed, watching him.
Gu Yanjing stood by the bedside, and from her perspective, it wasn’t a great angle.
But she realized that no matter which angle she looked at Gu Yanjing, he was incredibly handsome.
Everywhere he was finely detailed, with no dead angles, a full 360 degrees.
Chilly and cold, like soft, fluffy snow, soothing to the soul.
Qiao Yu Xian couldn’t help but smile.
That smile made it seem like she had scored a major bargain.
"Why are you smiling?" Gu Yanjing asked.
Qiao Yu Xian smiled again, reaching out with her other arm to playfully touch his hand: "I’m not telling you."
Gu Yanjing watched her smile, then leaned over, pinched her face, and kissed her lips.
After the kiss, he straightened up and helped Qiao Yu Xian up along with him.
Qiao Yu Xian sat on the bed, her hair a bit tousled.
Her bare face was exceptionally delicate and attractive, like a doll carefully crafted.
Her long eyelashes flickered.
Her skin glowed with freshness.
Her lips, a light red, added to her allure, looking especially enchanting.
She sat up, looked up at Gu Yanjing for a few seconds, then pouted and said, "Kiss me again."
Hearing her make such a bold request for the first time, Gu Yanjing raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qiao Yu Xian tilted her head, pouted with rosy cheeks, waiting for him to kiss her.
Gu Yanjing watched her adorable expression for a few seconds, then pinched her little chin and kissed her.
Originally, he came to call her for dinner, keeping it controlled with just a light kiss.
But unexpectedly, the little fox was enticing.
The seemingly indifferent and aloof Mr. Gu couldn’t resist the little fox’s charm.
The kisses grew more intense, and he effortlessly pinned her onto the bed.
And... when Qiao Yu Xian left the room, it was twenty minutes later.
Her lips, already red, were now even redder and slightly swollen.
And when Gu Yanjing left the room, it was nearly half an hour after Qiao Yu Xian.
The whole family was waiting for him to eat.
Including Zhaocai and Dou Jin.
After showering, as soon as Gu Yanjing came out, Qiao Yu Xian fed Zhaocai and Dou Jin, then went to his side.
Her smiling eyes curved, with a seemingly mischievous expression.
"Mr. Gu showered," she said.
Gu Yanjing looked at her, eyes carrying a frivolous intensity.
Qiao Yu Xian ignored his harshness, bumped his arm, and earnestly said, "What should come, will come."
Gu Yanjing slightly pinched her cheek.
This little girl.
She suddenly told him she might be expecting her period soon, either tonight or tomorrow morning.
At that time, Gu Yanjing thought she was afraid he might treat her roughly.
Specially reassured her to set her mind at ease.
But less than five minutes later.
This little girl’s hands were exploring to undo his belt.
An experienced Mr. Gu had never seen this kind of scenario.
She was sure he wouldn’t harm her, taking bold liberties.
Gu Yanjing, indeed, couldn’t do anything to her.
Enticed beyond measure, he kissed her harder, but hearing her say it hurt, he instantly loosened up.
No matter how uncontrollable his emotions were, he couldn’t bear to make her uncomfortable.
Finally, Qiao Yu Xian realized she had gone too far, making him seemingly uncomfortable.
With blushing cheeks and trembling fingertips, she softly offered to help him out.
Gu Yanjing naturally understood how she intended to help.
Unable to go too far, so he could only...
His one hand holding her waist, the other gripping her hand.
Watching her with heavy breaths, eyes tinged with red.
But in the end, he simply kissed her hand, letting her leave the room.
From offering to help to suddenly teasing again.
Gu Yanjing watched her for a long moment and said four words: "Time will come."
Qiao Yu Xian’s smile instantly vanished, her mouth twisting inadvertently.
Gu Yanjing saw her smile disappear, patted her hair lightly, and headed to the dining room.
Qiao Yu Xian remained where she was, watching his back, feeling she had just inferred from those four words that she was destined to pay a painful price that day.
...
Because of Gu Yanjing’s four words, Qiao Yu Xian was exceptionally diligent all night.
Serving dishes to Mr. Gu during dinner.
Leading the way for Mr. Gu on the walk.
Opening the door for Mr. Gu when returning to the room.
Encouraging Mr. Gu at work.
Although some of it seemed quite unnecessary... it was all about making an impression.
Hoping that when the day comes, Gu Yanjing will give her some leeway.
It’s not that she’s overly worried.
But those four words uttered by Gu Yanjing made her more and more frightened.
Especially the tone and expression he had when he spoke...
Qiao Yu Xian felt she couldn’t just wait for her fate, she had to make an impression.
Gu Yanjing, of course, knew what she was thinking.
Whatever she did, he didn’t stop her, just let her be.
After tonight, she would have moved on by tomorrow.
Qiao Yu Xian cheered for Gu Yanjing in the study.
Not long after, Su Qi came over.
Qiao Yu Xian went out to get some fruit.
After getting the fruit, she knocked on the door to go in, hearing Su Qi mention a date, and then said, "Next Tuesday."
She didn’t pay much attention, seeing their conversation concluded, she brought the fruit in.
Placed the fruit next to Gu Yanjing, but he didn’t eat much; most ended up in her stomach.
If Gu Yanjing hadn’t thought some fruit was too cold and stopped her from eating, she would have finished it all.
While Gu Yanjing worked, she sat nearby. Cheering him every half hour.
Spending the rest of the time quietly on her phone.
While playing a game, someone sent her a message.
She went straight in to check it.
Uncle Wen: [I’m inviting you for dinner next Tuesday.]
Qiao Yu Xian raised an eyebrow slightly at this timing.
What auspicious day is next Tuesday?
She had heard it twice tonight.
Qiao Yu Xian: [??? Are you planning to poison my food?]
Uncle Wen: [...You little brat, there’s something important. Will you come or not?]
Qiao Yu Xian’s eyes lit up at the words "something important": [I’ll go! Definitely going!]
