It was such a relaxed sentence. Gu Ruochu lowered her eyes and did not reply.
"I'm so sleepy."
She leaned against Huo Nanchen's chest and listened to the beating of his heart. The story about Gu Yanwei's kidnapping had probably reached Zhang Yuan.
An Shaosi had chosen to make a move because he knew that the Ning family was in Country M.
Gu Ruochu knew that another storm would come.
However, with Huo Nanchen by her side, she did not have to worry too much about her safety.
"..."
Early the next morning, Gu Ruochu sat at the dining table and realized that Huo Zirui had not come down for breakfast. His seat was empty.
She did not care.
Huo Zijun, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood. His eyes curved into crescents as he gestured at her. His red lips and his white teeth gave were the highlights of his extraordinarily handsome face.
"Good morning, sister-in-law."
"You're all smiles. Which girl have you taken a fancy to? Is something good about to happen?"
"What are you talking about? I want to drink wine and be a wild prodigal son. I don't want to get married. It's meaningless to get married." Huo Zijun threw her a flying glance. "Look, you're tied up by my big brother. You can't act cool with your family..."
Huo Zijun saw Gu Ruochu's expression, and he put his hand on his chest, pretending to be regretful. "I've seen so many young men and women like you lose their virginity. Afterward, cell phones are not fun, and dogs are not easy to pet. So, why would I want to get married?"
"Young women who have lost their virginity?"
Huo Zijun almost choked on the milk in his throat when he heard Huo Nanchen's cold and magnetic voice.
He felt as if he had bumped into the muzzle of a gun.
Huo Zijun quickly changed his words, and apologetically said, "However, my sister-in-law is different. It's a good slip-up! Who knows how many girls in the city are envious of you? Showing off your love every day can kill a lot of people!"
Gu Ruochu was stunned.
'What the hell is a good slip-up?'
Huo Nanchen had already sat down. He picked up a piece of bread from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. His face was expressionless. "Eat your breakfast, and speak less."
Huo Zijun had an innocent look on his face. His brother's gaze was sharp and reproachful.
He laughed foolishly and continued to eat his breakfast.
"Honey, drink some milk."
Huo Nanchen poured some milk into a glass and lifted it towards Gu Ruochu's lips.
Gu Ruochu smiled and kissed him on the chin.
"Does Madam Huo want to be a good wife and mother? Is that why she kissed?" Huo Nanchen's thin lips moved, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "It seems that she kissed the wrong place."
A devious smile formed on his face.
Gu Ruochu wanted to roll her eyes at him. Just as she sat up straight, her chair suddenly tilted, and her body leaned towards Huo Nanchen's direction.
His strong arms caught her, and he propped her on his knee. "Ruochu, are you acting coquettishly with me? Are you purposely falling and hoping that I will hug you? I now realize that Madam Huo likes me very much."
"Then I'll act coquettishly again. How about you let me go back to my seat?" Gu Ruochu looked at his flawlessly handsome face and resisted the urge to hit him.
"Let me see you act coquettishly first. Perhaps I'll let you go back to your seat." Their bodies were very close to each other. Even though they did not kiss, their breaths were intertwined.
"Hmph!"
Gu Ruochu had an arrogant look on her face.
Huo Zijun watched on as the couple displayed their affection at the dining table.
