Chapter 221: Chapter 221: You Don’t Need to Be Strong in Front of Me
The woman’s body was tense, as well as below, Tang Yuxiu couldn’t bear it any longer.
But for her sake, he had to hold back.
Gu Yan couldn’t relax, the pain in her body made her really afraid Tang Yuxiu would lose control and go for it again.
Tang Yuxiu sighed softly, his fingers gently stroking her cheek, coaxing her in a low voice, "Good girl, I promise not to move, just relax, otherwise I won’t be able to hold back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan gradually followed his words and slowly relaxed her body.
Feeling her loosen up below, Tang Yuxiu’s heart was filled with indescribable regret and sigh.
He immediately withdrew, giving her a heavy kiss on her lips, turning back and forth.
Gu Yan was kissed again until her mind was dizzy.
He suddenly left her lips, and she didn’t have time to retract her dazed expression.
Tang Yuxiu’s gaze deepened, he bent down for another heavy kiss but moved away immediately this time.
"Little vixen!"
The three words he said couldn’t tell if it was a complaint or a sigh; Gu Yan blushed and let out a low hum.
"You rest first," Tang Yuxiu said, then he rolled off her and got out of bed.
The man’s strong body appeared openly in front of her, she widened her eyes, her cheeks flushed red, immediately turned over, but due to the overly large and sudden movement, she hurt below and let out a low gasp.
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes were filled with amusement, "Be careful, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before."
Gu Yan simply pulled the quilt over her head, refusing to talk to him.
Young Master Tang, what happened to the agreed cleanliness and precision?
Seeing her like this, Tang Yuxiu didn’t tease her anymore, turned around to take clean clothes into the bathroom to wash.
Now, he still needed to calm down.
Only when the sound of the bathroom door closing echoed, did Gu Yan peek her head out from under the quilt.
She turned her head to look at the tightly shut bathroom door, then turned back to look at the heavy curtains.
The sunlight outside was perfect, though little came through, making the entire bedroom still so bright.
It was the first time Gu Yan didn’t feel heavy in this black-themed room, but instead felt warm and relaxed.
She became Tang Yuxiu’s real woman, and likewise, Tang Yuxiu became her real man.
After the night passed, there were marks on both of them belonging to each other, indelible.
Gu Yan’s lips curled into a smile, looking satisfied.
Tang Yuxiu came out of the bathroom and saw her curled up in the bed along the edge.
On this oversized bed, she appeared like a small bundle.
Tang Yuxiu’s heart softened, he walked over wanting to get her up to wash and take her downstairs to eat, only to find her breathing steadily with closed eyes, already asleep.
Seems she was truly exhausted to fall asleep again so quickly.
He sighed softly; this time, he really lost control, without moderation, tiring her so much.
Never did he think doing such things with her would be so physically and mentally fulfilling, making him addicted and reluctant to part from her.
Tang Yuxiu bent down, gently kissed her lips, then lifted the quilt, revealing her fair skin.
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes deepened, he carried her horizontally towards the bathroom.
The bathtub was filled with hot water, Tang Yuxiu put Gu Yan inside, uncharacteristically patient and gentle in helping her wipe her body.
During this, Gu Yan hazily opened her eyes, seeing Tang Yuxiu’s handsome face before her, feeling too tired she closed her eyes again to sleep.
She was so unguarded before him, so trusting, making him feel content.
His woman should rely on him, only then does he feel useful as a man.
After helping Gu Yan wipe her body, Tang Yuxiu carried her back to the bed, dressed her in sleepwear, letting her sleep peacefully.
When Gu Yan woke up again, the sun outside wasn’t as intense as at noon anymore; she looked at the clock by the bed, it was already past five.
She actually slept for so long again, really was too tired.
She lifted the quilt, wearing complete sleepwear, without any sticky discomfort.
Gu Yan vaguely remembered when she fell asleep, Tang Yuxiu carried her to the bathroom, personally helped her wipe her body, change clothes.
Gu Yan’s heart warmed; having such a man willing to do this for her, she should feel happy.
Probably no one else could make him do such things.
The uniqueness belonging to her made her feel comfortable.
The feelings between two people, in their world, solely devoted to each other.
She got off the bed, still a bit sore below, but better than in noon.
Walking, though awkward and clumsy, still wasn’t much of a problem.
Gu Yan cursed in her heart, Tang Yuxiu truly is a beast!
Men each have their own appearances when dressed, but when undressed, they’re all the same!
Gu Yan leisurely walked, opened the bedroom door, leisurely closed it and went out.
She wanted to go downstairs, had just walked a few steps before she heard the study door open behind her, Tang Yuxiu coming out from inside.
Seeing Gu Yan, he quickly walked over, naturally wrapped his arms around her, and lowered his head, saying lightly, "You’ve slept for so long, you must be hungry. There are meals prepared downstairs, just heat them up and you can eat."
Faced with him so directly when she was fully awake, Gu Yan was still a bit embarrassed.
She also lowered her head, silently nodded, her cheeks reddening, and just wouldn’t look at him.
Tang Yuxiu immediately noticed her awkwardness, but didn’t say anything, a faint smile spreading across his eyes.
"Let’s go." He held her and took a step forward.
Gu Yan took small steps and walked slowly. Tang Yuxiu noticed her unusualness, quickly deduced the reason, and a trace of regret and heartache flashed in his eyes, then suddenly lifted her up horizontally.
Gu Yan let out a low cry of surprise, not expecting Tang Yuxiu to pull such a move, instinctively wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
Seeing her frightened look, Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, his voice low and hoarse, with an indescribable allure.
"If you’re not comfortable, just say it, I won’t laugh at you. Besides, in front of me, you don’t need to pretend to be strong."
His woman, in front of him, needn’t hide her smiles or tears, just reveal her most straightforward feelings to him.
When she smiles, he’s in a good mood.
If she cries, he would even dig three feet into the ground to find and teach a lesson to the person who upset her.
But little did he expect, the one who could hurt her the most in this world, was himself...
If one day, someone tells you that you don’t need to pretend to be strong in front of them, how would you react?
For Gu Yan, who had seen all the cold and warmth of human life since childhood, her heart yearned infinitely for warmth. Hearing such heartwarming words abruptly warmed her entire heart, melting it completely.
She looked up into Tang Yuxiu’s ink-black eyes, which held nothing but seriousness and focus.
Her heart felt warm and she beamed brightly, with none of the previous shyness, hugging him openly.
"Alright, from now on, I’ll come to you even for small matters. If you dare find me troublesome, I’ll definitely be impolite to you."
This bold and straightforward Gu Yan was what Tang Yuxiu was most satisfied with.
He suddenly laughed, a deep and pleasant laugh, different from his usual expressionless or brooding and furious look. Seeing him so joyfully was like the ice and snow melting at the start of spring, brightening a whole space.
Gu Yan was a bit dazed, suddenly composed her expression and solemnly said, "Tang Yuxiu, don’t ever laugh in front of others in the future!"
While carrying her downstairs, Tang Yuxiu, puzzled, asked back, "And why is that?"
Gu Yan said, "Your smile is too... stunning! To avoid scaring others, you should control yourself."
Tang Yuxiu, "..."
Gu Yan had intended to say "stunning" but forcibly replaced it with "creepy." God knows, she didn’t mean to.
It’s just that because they’re used to teasing each other, suddenly asking her to say something flattering about him, Gu Yan really couldn’t do it.
Aren’t there some words that are meant to be the opposite? Gu Yan thought this was also a kind of compliment to him, he just had to understand her intention.
However, Tang Yuxiu didn’t retort as usual with a sullen face. He just pondered a moment and then nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll only smile at you in the future, scare you alone."
Is he really the Tang Yuxiu with severe cleanliness? The Tang Yuxiu who never touches women?
Why does Gu Yan now have the feeling that he is a veteran in romantic affairs, this was practically an outright sweet talk!
Who said Tang Yuxiu had low emotional intelligence? Stand up and she’ll definitely squeeze them to death!
Yet Young Master Tang seemed unaware of how affectionate his words were, he just thought about it and spoke.
So, it turns out, once a man falls into love, he becomes adept without a teacher, becoming a master in romance, capturing hearts.
Tang Yuxiu placed her on the sofa, "I’ll heat up the food, you just sit."
Hearing this, Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You’ll heat up the food? Can you?"
Tang Yuxiu snorted lightly, "Something this simple, how could I not be able to do it."
Gu Yan remained silent, remembering the last time the rice cooker was ruined just by cooking porridge, she really couldn’t agree with his confidence.
Young Master Tang is indeed very capable, but when it comes to kitchen tasks... you really don’t seem suited for it!
Seeing Gu Yan’s look of disbelief, Young Master Tang felt his self-esteem was damaged.
He snorted, "You just wait, anyway, I’ll make sure there’s something you can eat."
There is indeed something to eat, it’s just that it needs to be heated. But I’m afraid your esteemed Young Master might accidentally turn something edible into inedible.
Not knowing Gu Yan’s thoughts, Tang Yuxiu finished speaking and turned towards the kitchen.
Gu Yan called him back just in time, Tang Yuxiu thought she was going to question his ability to heat up the food again, his face not looking good.
"Don’t ever doubt a man’s capabilities, otherwise you’ll taste the wrath of his revenge."
Tang Yuxiu’s words were clearly ambiguous!
Gu Yan understood the meaning of his words after a brief thought, immediately glaring at him, "Shameless!"
"Heh, my face is right here, even if I want to discard it, it sticks to me."
Gu Yan just wanted to slap that self-loving, arrogant face of his.
"Go heat your food, give me your phone to play with."
Just like that? Surprisingly, Young Master Tang was momentarily slow to react.
Gu Yan snorted, "Young Master, just slightly rein in your narcissistic nature, I’m really not doubting your... ability."
Young Master Tang, "..."
He took out his phone and tossed it to her, then entered the kitchen without saying another word.
