Chapter 19: The Night Is Long

Gu Tai’s achievements in school had always been among the best. His character was a little cold and proud, but he was also an extremely smart child with good genes and a handsome face. Naturally, it was easy for him to become the teacher’s “heart treasure.” Moreover, even if he didn’t understand his homework, they were willing to tutor him. Therefore, Yi Ran didn’t need to help him much.

She watched him as he worked, remembering that his grandparents also hired an after school tutor for him. She couldn’t bear to let him get tired and said, “Look at the picture book first. Then you can do the rest of it tomorrow.”

Yi Ran took him to the guest room to settle down and sleep. Then, she went and took a shower, the hot steam making her feel radiant and relaxed. Afterward, she laid in bed, brushing through Weibo. She paused when she saw Gu Tingchuan. A few days ago, he and several starring actors had attended a charity event to publicize Homecoming.

In addition to allowing himself to be photographed and recorded on television, he calmly responded to the questions about the development of the film. He was very vocal in showing his attitude and full-fledged enthusiasm for the upcoming film. However, any questions about his personal life only received short answers.

Those clear eyes of his had the ability to penetrate through the screen into the hearts of young girls.

Yi Ran was still looking at the pictures with great enthusiasm when Gu Tingchuan came out from his shower. As he wiped his damp hair with a towel, he saw that she was looking at her phone again and thought that it was normal.

“What are you looking at?” His eyes examined her. “I’m very happy to see you laughing.”

Yi Ran looked up and saw Gu Tingchuan wearing only a pair of trousers, leaving his upper body uncovered. His strong muscles made her heartbeat sped up. This figure was really like a mountain with flowing water, making people salivate.

She guiltily closed Weibo and said, “Nothing. Just that some network segments are very funny.”

Gu Tingchuan suddenly faintly smiled. “In fact, sometimes they are very convenient. Like a Weibo account. Maybe I should get one.”

“That’s good!” Yi Ran sat up and, after thinking the matters through, said, “No good! Not a good idea. A lot of women would make public confessions to you.”

Gu Tingchuan’s left hand rose up to cover his widening smile. Yi Ran saw this little action and had to shift her gaze away.

Outside, the night was deep and the moonlight was silent, the bright illumination reflected in his dark eyes. He just barely walked over to the bed and sat down when he saw her quickly turning her mobile phone face down.

Gu Tingchuan thought it was funny but did not expose her timid little trick.

“How is your family recently? Are your parents still okay?” Gu Tingchuan asked naturally.

Yi Ran’s nervous body relaxed a little as she responded to his question, “En, they are very good….I also thought about what you said last time…that…it would be good to eat together with everyone to improve their feelings.”

She was worried that it would be too abrupt, but the man’s bright face showed a faint smile. “I will arrange it as soon as possible, you can rest assured.”

Some words came to her lips, but she thought about it and still didn’t know how to tell him.

If she said to Gu Tingchuan, “You are too busy to come home,” what was the practical significance of this? He was originally a workaholic. Should she understand and be considerate?

In fact, Yi Ran’s mood was a little chaotic. Under such circumstances, she didn’t know what kind of thoughts she wanted to express. Their marriage life was already like this, and there was no turning back.

But it was difficult to just be satisfied. There was always some emptiness in her heart, but she couldn’t really pinpoint where this feeling was coming from.

As Gu Tingchuan drew back the cover, he told her, “Once you become a little more used to some of my work environment, I will take you to an event.”

Yi Ran turned her head and looked at him with surprise. “Me? Will it be too high-profile?”

“It will be similar to the charity event a few days ago and won’t be a problem.” He leaned over and brushed his mouth lightly over her earlobe, whispering, “You should get used to the identity of ‘Mrs Gu.’”

As a matter of fact, to Yi Ran, Director Gu was someone with a steady temperament, a man who had the ability to endure and to conceal his true thoughts. Therefore, it was quite rare to see him aroused and passionate.

So, when he showed her this side of him, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat intimidated.

Yi Ran didn’t know whether it was normal for people’s first few times to be like her own. For them to also be overcome by such things.

Compared to the gentle care of the first time, this time, he penetrated much deeper, making her frantic to retreat. But every time she twisted her body, she only ended up falling deeper into submission. The body, from head to toe, seemed to tingle and ache. She could not escape his ministrations. Every stroke seemed to alternate between long and short, making her legs go weak with the sensation.

Gu Tingchuan wanted to change positions and pulled her up from the bed. Their bodies clung to each other without any hindrance. She put her head on his shoulder, panting into the base of his neck and unintentionally making it harder for him to restrain himself.
