NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34
34 Contract Marriage (32)
Their breaths coming together was refreshing. She could even smell the scent of pine from him. It was very pleasant. Subtle and gentle.
The man’s eyes were like stars. It was like the Lapis lazuli, blue and clear. Jiang Yuan could even see her two little reflections in his eyes.
She extended her hand, her long fingers touched his Lapis-lazuli-like eyes. His eyelashes were long, and she couldn’t stop herself from touching them. She then mumbled, “Your eyes are so beautiful.”
She felt a sense of familiarity in his eyes.
It was very, very shallow.
It was like a flash, so quick that she couldn’t catch it.
Gu Xichao noticed that Jiang Yuan seemed to have lost herself for a moment. His eyes became deeper, and his delicate, red lips were pursed.
He lifted his hand and caught Jiang Yuan’s hand.
Their fingers were interlocked.
The cherry-blossom colored lips moved down as he kissed her delicate fingers.
“Is it?”
The moment was full of lust.
However, Jiang Yuan was extremely awake.
She squinted and pushed him away.
“Gu Xichao, you’ve crossed the line.”
The woman’s voice was soft, but she was serious. She was reminding Gu Xichao of something.
The slender, beautiful man was pushed away. He was pushed back, and his gold-framed glasses were knocked off his face. His messy black hair made him look lazy. Without the glasses, his gorgeousness came into focus.
He supported his head with one hand. Gu Xichao smiled and asked, “Crossed the line?
“We are husband and wife. Is there such a thing as crossing the line?”
Jiang Yuan then reminded him, “We have a contract.”
Gu Xichao went quiet for a bit, and the smile in his eyes slowly faded.
After a long while, he readjusted his gold-framed glasses and returned to his calm, graceful look. His entire being was radiating aloofness.
He looked at Jiang Yuan and said, “Sorry.”
Jiang Yuan didn’t say anything and quietly pulled the blanket over her body and closed her eyes.
He wasn’t sure how long had passed when even he lay down, too.
He still couldn’t help himself.
So, he pulled her into his embrace.
He held the woman in his arms and kissed the crown of her head. His posture was full of restraint and appreciation.
Gu Xichao then whispered to her, “I have already regretted it.”

For the next several days, Jiang Yuan didn’t see Gu Xichao.
Everything had returned to normal.
It was like everything that happened last night was a dream.
In the beginning, Jiang Yuan felt something was weird in her heart. There was a ripple. A small ripple. She couldn’t explain it.
However, very quickly, she had pushed that emotion aside, and she completely forgot about it.

In the evening.
Jiang Yuan had just come out from a café and walked past an alley that she would cross when she returned home.
She suddenly heard a fight from the alley and the sounds of muffled cries.
She glanced in that direction, and it seemed that they were a group of fierce gangsters surrounding a young man.
Jiang Yuan wasn’t going to intervene.
Since she just wanted to not care about anything!
However, the person that was getting hit sounded familiar. In the end, she couldn’t hold back and took a second glance. Then, she saw Gu Jing’s beautiful but nasty face.
He was still wild and rebellious.
Despite being the one getting hit, he was still quite arrogant.
He was even threatening them.
“Damn it! You better make sure that I don’t walk out of this alive, or I’m going to make sure that you’ll all die!”
Jiang Yuan was speechless.
Did that kid lose a few screws in his brain?
Should she pretend that she didn’t see this, didn’t see this or didn’t see this…
