1378 Warmth

No one had pinched his face since he started to understand the world.

He was quite startled.

Gu Chaoyan did not think that it was a special move. She put down her hands and held her hand warmer, explaining, “Don’t worry, I said yes to the order, but that doesn’t mean that I am going. The King will not let me go there.”

“…”

!!

“I just accidentally spilled some powder at Qianqing Palace.”

“…”

“It seems that only I have the solution.”

“…”

“So it seems very necessary for me to stay in the capital.” Gu Chaoyan smiled, eyes sparkling.

Zhou Huailing and Gu Ruxue could use small tricks. So could she.

It was a very small thing.

She knew that Huaijin would react like this because he cared about her.

Gu Chaoyan felt warmth filling up her heart.

She was about to express her grat.i.tude, when suddenly, she was swept into his arms. Startled, Gu Chaoyan panicked. “What are you doing?”

Zhou Huaijin smiled briefly, not wanting to let her go as he held her tightly.

He stared at her face, saying with a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice. “It seems that someone just pinched my face, and I want revenge.”

“…”

“How should I take revenge?”

As he said that, he sized up Gu Chaoyan’s face, and his eyes turned more and more earnest. He did not want to waste a moment looking at her.

Gu Chaoyan subconsciously wanted to get up but got pressed down by Zhou Huaijin.

“Just let me go,” Gu Chaoyan said with a small voice, seeing that she would not be released.

Zhou Huaijin did not have the intention of releasing her.

Gu Chaoyan flushed.

After a long while, she said, “let me go, we are outside!”

“Then we can do this when we are at home?” Zhou Huaijin smiled as he caressed her waist.

“That is not what I mean.” Gu Chaoyan protested and gripped his moving hands.

Zhou Huaijin did not continue with his touching, but he did not intend to release her either.

He bent down and took a small bite on her neck, releasing her and saying with a hoa.r.s.e voice. “That is my revenge.”

Having said this… he looked at her lips.

His fingers rubbed lightly across her pink lips, Gu Chaoyan’s body trembled slightly, Zhou Huaijin stroked her back, leaned down, and directly took a bite of her lips. Zhou Huaijin didn’t just let go, but bit it lightly with some lingering feelings, unwilling to let go. After a while, Zhou Huaijin got up, his face no longer had the dark and calm expression as it did earlier, but he restrained himself.

After a long while, he spoke. “That is the punishment for you worrying me.”

“…”

“No more than this okay?”

He sounded very pampering as he was ‘scolding her’.

Gu Chaoyan did not answer.

She was flushed as she leaned in Zhou Huaijin’s arms. She was breathing quickly, not yet recovered from his warm caress.

Zhou Huaijin lowered his gaze.
