"Not yet." Zhang Yuan shook her head. She knew that Ning Tang would not be coming back that night. "Yanwei, you can go to sleep."
"All right." Gu Yanwei acted obediently and pretended to care for her before she left the room.
Zhang Yuan stood by the window alone for another two hours before she finally made up her mind to call Ning Tangxi.
The next few days were peaceful. Gu Ruochu did not come into contact with anyone from the Ning or Gu families. She was also occupied with her assistant director's job.
Gu Ruochu finally had some free time at night. She took out her tablet and watched a movie.
Huo Nanchen, who had a towel wrapped around his waist, came out of the bathroom with his upper body bare. Under the dim yellow light, his masculinity was clearly visible.
He cast a shadow over Gu Ruochu. Huo Nanchen stood in such a position that she could not concentrate on watching her movie.
"You're distracting me from watching the movie."
Huo Nanchen felt as she was ignoring him. He narrowed his eyes and took the tablet from her hand.
Before she could even scream, he had already hooked his arm around her waist. The thin layer of calluses on his hand caused a tingling sensation on Gu Ruochu's skin.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm massaging your waist."
"If you want to pretend to be a gentleman, can you put on your clothes first?" Gu Ruochu avoided his gaze.
"Go away! I want to watch my movie. Go play by yourself." She pushed him and tried to get the tablet back. In Huo Nanchen's eyes, it was obvious that she was throwing herself into his arms.
"Watching a movie is not as good as watching me. Playing games is not as fun as having sex." At that moment, playing a game was not as appealing as playing with his wife. He was dissatisfied. Was a movie more interesting than him?
Huo Nanchen would not force her. But he knew if he flirted with her, she would soften her resistance.
His soft lips moved forward towards her face. Before Gu Ruochu could react, he had already kissed her. Her breathing became hot and chaotic.
She did not know what was going on. Her body was stimulated, and she could not help but respond. When she came back to her senses, the two of them were entangled. Her legs were tightly attached to his waist, and her hands were wrapped around his neck.
She felt a little uncomfortable as he held her body down.
"..."
As the filming of the movie gradually came to an end, Gu Ruochu was busy most of the time. They had finished filming the majority of the scenes, and Wang Gang had been discussing with the movie distributors on when to release the movie.
Huo Nanchen was also busy during this period. However, Gu Ruochu would always feel uneasy. She did not know why she felt that way.
He would come home late in night. On this night, she looked at the time and saw that it was two in the morning. He had not yet returned.
She took out her phone and gave him a call. Huo Nanchen picked up the call, but Gu Ruochu did not speak. He knew from her silence that she was unhappy.
"Ruochu, you're awake?"
"Who else could it be? Did a ghost call you?"
"Be good. I'm still working. Go back to sleep. I'll be back soon." His voice sounded hoarse and tired.
Gu Ruochu did not know what he was doing, but she could not help but feel sorry for him. He had been very busy over the last couple of days.
"All right. Come back soon."
"All right. Goodnight."
After hanging up, Huo Nanchen threw his phone on the desk while his assistant continued to organize his documents. It was late at night, and the neon lights outside lit up the dark night.
A woman in a black dress sat across from him. She was elegant and mature. Her slender figure exuded a seductive charm.
"Was that your wife checking up on you?"
"If there's nothing else, you can go back." Huo Nanchen stood up and looked at her indifferently. "You must be tired after coming back from Country M at this hour."
