"Ah? Really? It's just that after returning this time, I suddenly feel like I like you a bit more," Ye Wan whispered her confession, hugging his neck.
"Oh? So you liked me before too," Gu Yunting chuckled, massaging the flesh of her nape. The pressure felt good.
Ye Wan tilted her head, thinking. "My liking before could be controlled, but this liking now is a bit uncontrollable. What should I do?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunting's heart melted. He pressed firmly on her nape and kissed her lips. His kiss was wild this time, only releasing her when she couldn't breathe.
Ye Wan's lips felt fiery and sore. Her eyes became exceptionally moist, her cheeks flushed. Her soft appearance was incredibly alluring.
"Gu Yunting, will we... be separated again?" Ye Wan asked, her small hands tightly gripping his clothes.
She was still quite apprehensive. After hearing his birth father's words that day, she felt immense sympathy for him. Later, after being kidnapped and returning, she found herself unable to suppress the desire to be with him always.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Yunting was momentarily speechless. He wanted to tell her they would never be separated, but he knew he couldn't make such a promise to her yet.
However, he didn't realize that his hesitation caused Ye Wan's heart to plummet. A large part of her heart turned cold.
"I'm sorry, for troubling you," Ye Wan lowered her thick eyelashes, not wanting him to see her sadness.
She wanted to get up and leave, feeling the need for time to calm down. Gu Yunting held her tightly, preventing any movement. Ye Wan felt pain from his grip and looked at him. "Let me go! I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have... had wishful thinking."
"No, you are not wrong. It is my fault. It is my fault for not even daring to have wishful thinking! Ye Wan, don't leave me." Gu Yunting held her tightly. He could no longer control himself and rolled over, pinning her to the sofa.
...
Gu Yunting carried Ye Wan downstairs for dinner. Her legs were extremely weak now. Gu Yunting had been truly wild just now, and Ye Wan was somewhat frightened by him. She snuggled obediently in his arms, watching him. She wondered what he truly meant.
After dinner, Gu Yunting carried her upstairs. They began from the bathroom and continued to the bed. Ye Wan could only hold him, sinking with him.
...
When Ye Wan went out again this time, Gu Yunting had assigned bodyguards to her. Ye Wan thought about the incident with Luo Su last time and felt scared, so she didn't object and accepted it willingly.
Most of the time, the two bodyguards protected her discreetly, trying not to affect her social life.
Ye Wan visited Ye Cheng today. Ye Cheng seemed somewhat unhappy. Ye Wan inquired and learned that Ye Cheng was now well and felt bored staying at home all day.
Ye Wan suggested he attend school once the semester began.
Ye Cheng looked at her, wanting to speak but holding back, seemingly having his own thoughts.
"If you have any thoughts, just tell me. What can't you tell your sister?" Ye Wan asked patiently, stroking his head.
"Sister, I want to protect you. I don't want you to be bullied anymore," Ye Cheng sniffled, his voice filled with grievance.
"Sister isn't being bullied. Why do you think that?" Ye Wan reached out and ruffled her brother's soft hair.
"But I'm too weak now. I can't stand up for you. Sister, can you ask that person surnamed Gu for me? I want to join the training camp." Ye Cheng looked at his sister seriously and requested.
