The temperature was warm. It was soft and itchy.
"..."
" Ruochu, what happened?" Gu Yanwei's gentle voice rippled through the night. Before Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen could react, Gu Yanwei quickly pushed the bedroom door.
She had been paying attention to Huo Nanchen's movements ever since she heard him go upstairs. She had heard them arguing. Gu Yanwei then knocked on Mrs. Huo's room. She said that she was worried about the couple and asked her if they would go and take a look.
If Mrs. Huo were to see them arguing, her impression of Gu Ruochu would be even worse. Soon, Gu ruochu would be kicked out of the Huo family home.
As expected, Mrs. Huo's face darkened when she heard that the couple was arguing. She followed Gu Yanwei to the master bedroom.
"Ruochu, what's going on..."
Gu Yanwei happily pushed the door open but was shocked by the scene before her. She stammered, "What... What are you doing?"
Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen turned their eyes at the same time. They saw Gu Yanwei standing at the door with her mouth agape. Mrs. Huo was draped in a blue shawl and her voice was full of authority. "It's so late. Why are you two arguing?"
When they were at the door, they Gu Ruochu on top of Huo Nanchen. Mrs. Huo changed her expression. She even forgot to avoid suspicion. "You... you..."
"..."
Mrs. Huo did not expect that her son, who had never been close to women and had never even touched his wife, to be pressed down by her daughter-in-law. She blinked. It was as if her eyes were deceiving her.
Her son was actually down there.
Mrs. Huo was completely shocked.
Her face and ears turned red. She quickly turned her back and scolded them.
"It's so late at night. If you want to be together, close the door!"
'Together?'
A FAIRY-LIKE FIGURE!
Did Mrs. Huo misunderstand the situation? Why did she sound so ambiguous?
Gu Yanwei's pupils constricted as the blow to her heart settled in. Since when did Gu Ruochu have the guts to seduce Huo Nanchen?
It was impossible! She did not believe it.
Gu Ruochu forgot to get up for a moment. She blinked innocently and immediately followed her words. "Mother, we were supposed to close the door, but my sister suddenly pushed it open and gave me a fright..."
Gu Ruochu looked at Gu Yanwei with a meaningful gaze. Her heart was itching with hatred. She felt that Gu Ruochu was deliberately showing off their love, boasting about the fact that she was married to Huo Nanchen.
"It's all right. You guys can continue. We're just here to take a look." Mrs. Huo did not turn around but her gaze towards Gu Yanwei was much sharper. "Yanwei, go and sleep in your room. Don't be so jumpy whenever you hear anything. Go back to sleep, Ruocho and Nanchen still have things to do."
Even though she liked Gu Yanwei more, her son's choice was the most important to her.
The words "something to do" rang in everyone's ears, sounding unusually ambiguous. Gu Ruochu unintentionally glanced at Huo Nanchen and saw that his ears had turned red. Even though his face was still cold, it was a stark contrast to the taste of abstinence.
In Gu Ruochu's eyes, there was actually a hint of cuteness.
He actually had a good side to him.
Gu Yanwei's smile was uglier than her tears. It looked pale and forced. "Auntie, I'm sorry to wake you up so late. I'll go back to my room."
Mrs. Huo acknowledged her and turned to walk back to her room.
