Chapter 11: Workaholic

They continued into the small hours of the morning, and Yi Ran was in chaos. Again and again, he seemed determined to put her at her wit’s end.

This man was ordinarily unattainable and immaculately dressed, yet one never thought that he would be like this in bed. In light of his cold manner, she thought that he would be more accustomed to being pleased. But, regardless of whether it was kissing her or pleasuring her, he did them with great consideration.

His fingers were like magic. Even her sense of shame was caressed away by him, such that the body became like an empty well, making her overflow….

Then, after being swept away by the high tides of their lovemaking, Yi Ran would hazily look up with teary eyes. Seeing this image, Gu Tingchuan’s lips would curve into a smile, his dark eyes would flash with satisfaction, and his thin lips would kiss her softly and recklessly.

Seeing that kind of smile, no one could resist.

Yi Ran felt that sentimental feelings were fermented this night. As she was lying half-awake, she saw Gu Tingchuan returning to the bed from the bathroom, and her body immediately shifted toward him, already eager for his warmth.

He was surprised, but then he wrapped her waist in an embrace, and there was no resistance at all.

In the one room, there was only the silence of the moving moon.

Yi Ran woke up the next day and saw a messy body with a hickey on her chest and a small bruise on her waist, which made her recalled Gu Tingchaun’s beautiful harassment last night.

She felt a bit shy but also a little embarrassed, and she didn’t know how to face Gu Tingchuan after what happened last night. It was simply that her girlish heart was full to the extreme, and all kinds of complicated moods were overflowing through her. But, they were all soft and gentle.

It was only at this time that she realized the temperature on the other side of the big bed had already cooled.

Not seeing his figure, she was surprised. After changing her clothes and washing up, she walked down the stairs and saw a strange woman wearing a white shirt and a black trousers. She was busy in the kitchen, but she saw Yi Ran. Noticing her doubtful expression, she said, “Mrs. Gu, hello. I am Mr. Gu’s chef. Do you want a Western or Chinese style for today’s breakfast?”

Yi Ran looked at her for a while. Then, feeling her own face grow hot, she said, “Oh… Chinese.”

She sat at the rectangular table, and the female chef took out a bowl of porridge and a snack. She took a sip of juice. Then she asked, “Has Gu Tingchuan already eaten?”

“Yes, Mr. Gu and his assistant have already eaten and left.”

Oh, this was very like Director Du.

Yi Ran’s mood suddenly plummeted to its lowest point. She had to admit that after a special moment like a “Newlywed Night”, even if there were no comforts in the morning, it was particularly frustrating that she couldn’t even see his figure.

Even if she understood his position and work, she couldn’t do anything about her feelings.

Yi Ran silently dug into the side dishes but they were all tasteless. There were many messy thoughts in her mind, many of which she could not fully understand.

She did not required that Gu Tingchuan be especially attentive or considerate. It was also true that there was no love basis between them. He may not be a man who was good a sweet talk, and a person will not suddenly change too much overnight.

But they were a “couple” with each other, something he himself had personally admitted.

She didn’t like the way he left without saying a word.

Yi Ran sighed and remembered that there was a stranger in the room before she hurriedly concealed the look of depression.

Summer had already shifted into Fall. In the afternoon, the city was covered in a light rain. It drenched the streets, the water reflecting the sky and adding a moist color to the whole scene.

Yi Ran bought some gifts and went home for dinner. When she entered the door, she said, “Gu Tingchuan has been too busy and had to go back to lead the show. He can’t come to dinner and had me bring something back.”

After all, it was just like this. Movies, if you stopped working for a day, you would have lost a huge sum of money. This was also an understandable fact.

Mother Yi did not say anything. She was happy when she saw her daughter’s radiance. She smiled until her eyes were broken into a seam. It was just that Father Yi was not very happy. He had something to say about this son-in-law. Moreover, he always felt that they married too hastily.

“Yes, your dad said it right.” Mother Yi remembered something for a moment and asked her, “You have already married the Gu. Are you going to arrange a meal for us and your family?”

Yi Ran knew there will be a lot of concerns. Just like the half-truths that Zhang Rongrong had once said, “You must know that the gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably lead to tragedy.”

At that time, she was like her close friend. She had also agreed, but her personality had never been one to linger over these complicated things. Since she made a decision, she must face it bravely.

She smiled and said, “They haven’t came back from Germany yet. The big family has to deal with a lot of things… Hey, Tingchuan said that they will arrange a meeting when they come back.”

These were the truths that Gu Tingchuan and she had previously discussed..

This man usually looked indifferent and proper, then, in private, was considerate and gentle. One really could not help but love and hate.
