Chapter 111 A Little Trouble Across the Bed
Gu Junze had planned to consummate his marriage with Chu Ruohan tonight and had given all the orders to the servants to prepare. However, a five-year-old toddler ended up lying between the two of them.
The little one opened his big, watery eyes and said timidly, "I'm scared..."
She quickly climbed onto Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan's bed, found a comfortable spot between them, and lay down.
Gu Junze's originally gentle expression instantly darkened. He hadn't even started, and this little guy had already ruined everything.
His aura instantly turned icy, as if a layer of frost could form around him.
Gu Yun sensed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Gu Junze and shrank back closer to Chu Ruohan in fright.
Seeing this, Chu Ruohan quickly hugged Gu Yun and gently patted his back. Then she glared at Gu Junze and scolded him, "Didn't you already agree to adopt him? He even took your surname. What are you still being so stubborn about? You can just adopt another child with Gu family blood in the future."
Gu Junze was both angry and annoyed when he heard this. "Adoption is adoption, why can't they have their own child?"
But he forgot that he had never explained to Chu Ruohan that he was only paralyzed from the waist down, not that he was unusable...
Gu Junze was about to say something when Chu Ruohan said again, "If you feel it's too crowded, then you can go sleep somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, Gu Junze was immediately furious. Not being able to hold her while sleeping was already frustrating enough, but now he was being kicked out.
Heartless.
Gu Junze sighed helplessly, waved his hand to extinguish the candlestick, and whispered, "Go to sleep."
In the darkness, he used the leverage to turn over, his back to the two of them, while secretly planning to make up for the ruined night later.
The night was as dark as ink, and the silvery moonlight gently spilled into the Chu family's courtyard. A dark figure, like a ghost, nimbly darted onto the roof.
Then it landed quietly in the courtyard, its movements fluid and effortless, without making a sound.
"Dong dong dong..."
The soft, rhythmic tapping on the window was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Chu Yueshu was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze when she heard that familiar voice. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and her eyes were full of joy.
She quickly got up, threw on a coat, walked briskly to the window, and gently opened it.
"Why don't you come in?" Chu Yueshu asked softly, a hint of reproach in her eyes.
Dressed in black, Ying Qing stood tall and straight like a pine tree outside the window, the moonlight outlining his resolute features.
"Men are not allowed to enter a young lady's boudoir."
Ying Qing may seem like a rough man, but he is actually quite calculating. Although he is engaged to Chu Yueshu, the proper separation between men and women must be observed, and he is afraid of affecting her reputation.
Chu Yueshu muttered softly, "Isn't there a marriage agreement?"
Ying Qing was highly skilled in martial arts and had exceptionally keen hearing; these words clearly reached his ears.
His old face flushed instantly, even the tips of his ears turned crimson, making him appear exceptionally shy in the moonlight.
Chu Yueshu saw this and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She never expected that this seemingly composed old man would be so innocent.
Yingqing was ten years older than Chu Yueshu. He used to only want to take care of the young master and never thought about getting married.
In his previous life, he had indeed lived his life in the same way. However, Chu Ruohan was reborn, and the trajectory of her fate quietly changed, leading Ying Qing and Chu Yueshu to meet by chance and be engaged.
Chu Yueshu suddenly remembered a joke between her sisters: "Older men know how to take care of women."
A slight blush rose to her face, and her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Ying Qing, a unique emotion welling up within her.
Yingqing took out a packet of pastries from her bosom and handed it to Chu Yueshu, saying, "Chestnut cake."
His voice remained steady, but there was a subtle hint of gentleness in his tone.
He asked someone to help him, and he queued for a long time before he was able to buy it.
Chu Yueshu reached out and took it. Under the moonlight, her fair wrist was as smooth and warm as mutton fat jade.
"Why did you bring me chestnut cake?" she asked, tilting her head.
"I always go shopping whenever I see you."
"It's what my older sister likes to eat."
"So what do you like to eat?" Ying Qing blurted out almost immediately, then regretted it, feeling a little embarrassed.
Would she think she was being too presumptuous? The thoughts of a young lady from a respectable family are always hard to fathom.
Chu Yueshu, without the slightest hesitation, enthusiastically rattled off a list: "Candied hawthorn berries, cloud cakes, crystal fruits..."
As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, looking quite adorable.
Yingqing wrote down all the foods she liked to eat; they were quite varied.
When Chu Yueshu mentioned "roasted snake meat," Ying Qing clearly noticed that her eyes lit up instantly.
Yingqing wondered to herself, how could a young lady like snake meat?
When did she eat it?
I wonder if Dr. Qian still has any venomous snakes alive? Can poisonous snakes be roasted?
Yingqing made a mental note of it and would bake it for her when he had the chance.
As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten with a pale, fish-belly white.
There was a bundle outside Chu Yueshu's door, filled with her favorite foods...
When Yingqing went to buy food for Chu Yueshu, for some reason, she also brought a bag of chestnut cakes for Chu Ruohan.
Gu Junze got up in the early morning, but Ying Qing was not by his side to serve him, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
With a cold expression, he ordered his servants to help him get out of bed.
The servants were extremely cautious, barely daring to breathe, for fear of accidentally offending the young master...
When Gu Junze saw Ying Qing hurrying back from outside, carrying a bag, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go?"
"I went out for my morning exercise," Ying Qing replied without batting an eye, then added, "This is for the young mistress."
"What is it?" Gu Junze pressed.
"Chestnut cake, the young mistress likes to eat it."
That confident tone made Gu Junze feel dissatisfied. He narrowed his eyes slightly. When did Ying Qing start caring about Chu Ruohan and what she liked to eat?
He seemed to know Chu Ruohan's preferences perfectly.
The little boy had occupied Han'er for a night, and he hadn't figured out a way to get rid of him yet, and now another one had come along, so attentive.
Gu Junze knew that the two of them would not develop a romantic relationship, but he was still feeling resentful.
If it weren't for Yingqing, who had always served him diligently, he would have liked to throw her out.
This man is definitely sexually frustrated...
For several days in a row, Gu Junze didn't give Ying Qing a kind look. Ying Qing didn't know what she had done to offend the young master.
Gu Junze was incredibly frustrated.
It's not just because of Yingqing, but mainly because there's always a "little trouble" in the middle of the bed every night when I sleep.
He and Chu Ruohan couldn't even share a room, let alone get slightly intimate.
No wonder I'm in a bad mood...
