Chapter 54: Face Slapping

The next day, Gu Tingchuan left Nanfa City by plane under the escort of everyone. Due to his injuries, he temporarily returned home to rest for a week, and the studio naturally became his work site.

Yi Ran agreed to allow him to work as long as he adhered to her three rules. One, there must be a time limit for each job. Second, when it came time to lie down, he must lie down to rest. And, three, when she is present, he must do as she says and allow her to take care of him.

Oftentimes, Gu Tingchuan will work seriously in the studio and connect to the shooting location via video projections on the TV screen or through other wireless devices. In addition, although he didn’t normally have a sweet tooth, he would also often have a taste of the snacks she made him.

Yi Ran recently received some newly purchased tea cakes. After brewing tea, she placed a slice of cake with pine nuts on a plate and carried them to Director Gu.

They spent a few days safely like this.

At a bit past 8 o’clock that night, she walked to the studio with a tea tray and found that Gu Tingchuan was flipping through a book by hand. At the same time, there were many papers and scripts scattered on the desk and over the carpet. She also saw the script for Moonlight.

She looked at it curiously, lowered the tea tray, raised her eyes and asked him, “What’s up? Haven’t both the script and the preparation works been completed?”

Gu Tingchuan murmured an assent, put down his pen, and said, “Since I’m organizing at home, I wanted to go through it again, and find out all the details that might need to be modified. ”

Yi Ran’s eyes drifted up to the book in front of Director Gu. She took it and turned it over. He noticed that she was looking at it and said in a low and clear voice, “Actually, every time I read a book, I hope you can also read it with me.”

He coughed and his lips quirked. “I want know what your opinions are and whether you will have the same viewpoint.”

Gu Tingchuan didn’t just want her to belong to him. He also wanted them to be able to exchange ideas with one another. He must be able to read her thoughts so as to capture her heart. After all, he had already given her his whole heart.

Yi Ran’s expression was bright, as if she understood the deep meaning behind his words, and a soft sweetness grew in her heart. “I know. I’ll take a look before going to bed. Director Gu, someone else might have a difficult time understanding your love words.”

She leaned over and kissed him enthusiastically on the cheek. Her soft lips on the man’s cheek quickly overwhelmed him, causing him to freeze.

“I’m going to take a shower now. It’s time for you to rest.” Yi Ran looked at him with the stern expression of a young teacher. “When I’m, I hope to see that you are already obediently in the bedroom.”

Gu Tingchuan reacted, nodding, “Understood.”

Yi Ran left the studio and entered the master bedroom for a change of clothes. Then, she took a shower and walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. She found that Director Gu had forgotten his words and was still lost in his work.

Her voice came into his ears, “Don’t make me angry. When I get angry, you’ll be afraid of me.”

Gu Tingchuan heard her words and looked across at her. The little girl who just came out of the bath had a towel over her shoulders and was wiping her wet hair. Her face was not gorgeous and she was not tall, but she was exquisite to him. The dress under the white towel was thin, outlining her seductive curves.

In the warm light, her expression was serious and her eyes curved like crescent moons, emitting a water-like luster. She lowered her head and cast a glance at the script of Moonlight and saw the male lead and female lead on the cover. The subtitle underneath was not only the intention of the male lead but also the central idea of ​​the whole movie.

Her finger rubbed the words on the paper and she slowly read out loud, “Wherever the heart is, there lies paradise, turning life into the greatest journey.”

After carefully pondering the silent and vast meaning behind this sentence, she couldn’t help but sighed. “If this could be done … it would be really great.”

Gu Tingchuan looked at her profile and his dark eyes turned thoughtful. He couldn’t help whispering, “Life with you is a journey I will never forget.”

Yi Ran didn’t understand what he said but before she could ask him to repeat himself, he had quietly shifted the topic. “Regarding this movie, we will likely change the style. I’d also listened to your opinion and think that perhaps shooting a movie is similar to life in that both have no formulas. I will allow various directors to make their own attempts according to their own different creative interpretation.”

She agreed and placed her hands on his cheeks. As she leaned forward against him, Gu Tingchuan enjoyed her beauty with great contentment. He lowered his head, lingering against his wife’s neck. He also took the opportunity to look at her nightgown. His lips bent in a smile. “You’re wearing the new nightgown from last time?”

Yi Ran was tightly embraced by him, and she buried her head in his chest coyly, faintly aware that the atmosphere had become a little ambiguous. She pressed her hands against the edge of his desk, raised herself slightly on tiptoes, and kissed him.

The kiss contained many days of suppression, making her shiver unbearably. She pulled at his shirt with her fingertips, responding implicitly, her eyes clear and moist

“Since I can’t work anymore, let’s do something else.”

Gu Tingchuan’s shirt was open to reveal his chest, and his skin was accented by the light, causing all thoughts to become centered on his body.

Feeling his reaction against her body, she was startled and stared up at him with wide eyes, only to discover that the black eyes looking back her here were dark and hot.

“You, you are still healing …”

The last time, they made love in the study, this time…Would he really direct such a scene in this “sacred and inviolable” studio?

Gu Tingchuan stared at her bright red lips, and said vaguely, “You’re like this, how can I resist you?”

He pulled off the white towel on Yi Ran’s body and traced his fingers along the edge of the nightdress.
