Huo Nanchen was almost out of his mind when he felt something hugging him. To be precise, it was pressing down on him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Ruochu's head in his arms. His chest was filled with a warm and faint fragrance, and there was a sense of fullness in his arms.
Did she have to be so overbearing in her sleep?
One of her legs was pressing down on him, and she treated him as if he was a pillow. It was strange. She was touching him excessively, but he did not feel the urge to resist.
He was not sure if she did it in pretense or if it was just an unconscious action.
"Gu Ruochu, there's no way I will fall in love with you." A deep, magnetic voice rang out in the seductive night before dispersing.
He did not know whether it was to remind himself or if it was to emphasize the truth.
Huo Nanchen closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"..."
Early the next morning, Gu Ruochu yawned as she went downstairs.
"Young Madam, you're awake? Good Morning."
Mother Zhang chuckled as she prepared breakfast. Gu Ruochu and her mother were the only ones who had not had breakfast. The Huo family had to prepare breakfast several times because everyone woke up at different times.
"Good Morning, Nanny Zhang."
Gu Ruochu casually sat down. Her casual movements gave off an unruly and elegant vibe.
Just as she sat down, something furry scratched her leg.
She lowered her head and looked at the Golden Retriever's innocent face. It kept nudging her calf with its mouth.
"Whose dog is this?"
Nanny Zhang replied with a chuckle, "That is the eldest Young Master's Golden Retriever. His name is Lele."
'Huo Nanchen's dog?'
Gu Ruochu retracted her hand just as she was about to reach out and touch the Golden Retriever. Although the dog was very cute, it had been raised by Huo Nanchen. When she thought of his cold and violent personality, his dog wouldn't be a good dog either.
Seeing that Gu Ruochu had suddenly ignored him. The Golden Retriever's black eyes stared at her with a pitiful expression. It lowered its head and opened its mouth to pull at her pants. It then acted pitiful in an attempt to win the heart of its mistress.
"Don't pull me, I don't like Huo Nanchen's dog."
"Woof, woof..."
The Golden Retriever stared at her and tried even harder to act pitiful and cute.
Mother Zhang came into the room.
"I told you, I don't like his dog."
"Woof, Woof..."
Mother Zhang watched as the Golden Retriever clung onto Gu Ruochu. She had said that she did not like the eldest Young Master's dog. How much did she dislike her husband and his dog?
The Golden Retriever suddenly wagged its tail and sat up. It turned around and walked out the door.
Huo Nanchen had not left yet. He was about to leave with his car keys when the Golden Retriever caught his foot.
"What's wrong?" He stared coldly at the dog that was deliberately acting cute.
"Woof..."
"What are you doing here?"
"Woof Woof..."
"I'm asking you, what are you doing over here?"
Housekeeper Jiang watched as Huo Nanchen used his foot to hook the dog's chin. He was speechless. Why was the Young Master talking to a dog that didn't understand the human language?
'How childish!'
He couldn't even look.
Huo Nanchen looked in the direction the Golden Retriever was barking at. His gaze fell on the window seat. Gu Ruochu sat at that seat. Her face was only half-exposed, but it was an exquisite view.
She casually leaned her hand against the window. Her posture was unruly but indescribably elegant.
He knew that Gu Ruochu had a good appearance. But now, when paired with her unique charm, she had become unbelievably dazzling. It was as if he was dreaming and she was at the center of his beautiful dream.
