Ye Wan's face instantly turned crimson. She knew this scoundrel was up to no good. She fidgeted, "It's because you took too long! I was sleepy and wanted to sleep."
"Is that so? If you were sleepy, why did you beg for mercy? Your begging voice is truly delightful," Gu Yunting leaned in and whispered into her ear.
His warm breath on her ear made Ye Wan tremble uncontrollably. Her face grew even redder, and like a quail, she buried her head in his chest, daring not to look at him.
"Sleep, we'll start exercising together tomorrow," Gu Yunting said, pulling her closer. Smelling the scent of her that he was so addicted to, he closed his eyes with peace.
Ye Wan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep after sleeping all day, but nestled in Gu Yunting's embrace, listening to his strong heartbeat, she quickly fell asleep.
...
Gu Yunting kept his word. The next day, he truly dragged Ye Wan up early for a morning run. Ye Wan was exhausted and was pulled back by Gu Yunting.
Dizzy and disoriented, she returned to her room and, with weak legs, walked into the bathroom to take a shower. To her surprise, Gu Yunting squeezed in too. The already small bathroom felt extremely cramped.
Ye Wan was so startled that her mind cleared up considerably. "Can you go to your bathroom to shower!"
"We'll shower together. I'm afraid you'll fall if your legs are weak. You're not smart to begin with, and if you fall and become a fool, it'll be even more troublesome."
"You..." Ye Wan couldn't believe he would say such a thing about her.
"Hurry up and take off your clothes. Do you want me to help you?" As he spoke, Gu Yunting swiftly stripped off his sportswear, then bent down to remove his last piece of clothing.
Ye Wan was startled and quickly turned to flee, not daring to look at him. "You shower first, I'm not in a hurry."
Before she could even take a step, Gu Yunting grabbed her back. "Where haven't I seen your body? Don't waste time!"
With that, Gu Yunting forcibly pulled off her top. Ye Wan…
"I'll do it myself," Ye Wan could only turn and undress herself. Warm water flowed from above her head.
After a simple shower, Ye Wan wanted to leave, but Gu Yunting forcibly pulled her back and pinned her against the wall, kissing her.
...
Gu Yunting left after receiving a phone call, leaving Ye Wan alone, her legs so weak that she couldn't stand. After a while, she dressed and, after braiding her hair in the bathroom, prepared to go for a meal.
Granny Sun hurried over and handed her a set of clothes. "Young Master ordered you to wear these clothes and serve at the dining table."
Ye Wan...
Ye Wan was both tired and hungry. All she wanted was to eat. However, considering her brother's upcoming surgery, she didn't want to cause any more trouble and had to endure.
After changing into a maid's uniform, she went to the dining room and stood respectfully by, watching Gu Yunting eat breakfast.
Five minutes later, just as Ye Wan was about to collapse, Madam Gu was pushed into the dining room by a servant.
Ye Wan truly feared Madam Gu. When she saw Madam Gu arrive, her body trembled slightly, and she immediately stood straighter. Remembering how she had angrily retorted to her yesterday, Ye Wan felt a pang of fear.
"Mom, why are you here so early? Get some extra bowls and chopsticks for Madam," Gu Yunting stood up to greet his mother and gave instructions.
A servant went to get the bowls and chopsticks and set them down. Gu Yunting intended to personally push his mother to her seat, but Madam Gu raised her hand to stop him and looked at Ye Wan, who was still standing subserviently by the side.
"Ye Wan, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to raise an illegitimate child right under my nose!" Madam Gu looked at Ye Wan with icy eyes.
