Chapter 138 Xiao Ze's Request
"Oh." Chu Xinglan avoided this sensitive topic. "Shall we...go home now?"
"Okay, I'll take you home now." Gu Ye smiled and stopped there.
He returned to the driver's seat, adjusted the seat and rearview mirror, and saw Chu Xinglan's relieved expression in the mirror.
He gave a wry smile.
Even after abstaining from sex for so long, he still had moments when he lost control.
"Baby, have you gained weight?"
As Gu Ye cuddled Chu Xinglan while she slept, he touched her abdomen. In fact, he had noticed that Chu Xinglan's abdomen had gained some weight when he attended the wedding, and it was not as flat as before. Now, touching it, he felt that it was fuller.
Chu Xinglan felt a pang of guilt and moved Gu Ye's hand away.
Honestly, she's pregnant and still sleeps in the same bed with Gu Ye every day. Besides, Gu Ye only has a bad back. If he could have sex, how could they not get aroused when they're cuddling together every night? No wonder he goes crazy during the day. She really is... a tormenting little vixen.
"I've been eating too much lately and I've gained weight."
The thought that she could only let him touch her but not eat her made her feel terrible, so she moved her body away from Gu Ye a little further.
But Gu Ye immediately snuggled up to her again and continued to hold her as they slept.
Chu Xinglan felt that it wasn't her fault. He had moved the bed out of the other room, refused to sleep on the sofa, and wouldn't let her sleep there either, insisting on squeezing into the same bed with her. She only felt at ease sleeping with him after seeing that he was injured because of her and couldn't do "that" for the time being. These days, she had gotten used to being held by him while sleeping...
"Are you disgusted with me?" Chu Xinglan deliberately created conflict.
"No." Gu Ye hugged her and coaxed her gently, "It's good to gain some weight. You used to be too thin, and now you feel even better to the touch."
"So, you're disgusted with the old me?" Chu Xinglan transformed into the unreasonable girl in a relationship.
She had to separate from Gu Ye immediately. Even if they couldn't be together every day, sleeping separately was urgent, since her belly was getting bigger every day and would eventually be exposed.
"I didn't mean that. Whether it's the you of the past, the you of the present, or the you of the future, you'll always be my favorite. Okay, let's not fight anymore."
It's impossible for a couple to have a fight before the girlfriend has even been won over.
"Are you saying I'm being unreasonable..."
As soon as Chu Xinglan finished speaking, Gu Ye sealed her lips with his.
There's nothing a kiss can't solve between couples.
"Waaah~"
Instead of creating conflict, Chu Xinglan was left somewhat dazed by his kiss.
"Let go of me." Chu Xinglan pushed him away weakly, then turned her back to Gu Ye, her face flushed.
Gu Ye continued to hold her waist and kissed the back of her neck.
He could only take it lightly; if the kiss went too deep, he feared he would lose control again.
Chu Xinglan was practicing hitting wooden stakes in the training room. At first, she couldn't do it well and kept getting hit by the turning stakes. Later, she became more and more skilled, and her movements became smooth and effortless, like flowing water. She skillfully avoided the impact of the stakes each time.
She now has a more pressing problem: to learn martial arts as soon as possible so that she can get rid of Gu Ye before she can hide her pregnancy. She needs his help now, so she has no choice but to keep him here. Therefore, she must learn martial arts quickly.
He was so focused on driving the stakes that he didn't even realize when Gu Ye came up behind her.
Just then, Chu Xinglan suddenly received a call from Xiao Ze.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Gu Ye frowned slightly when Chu Xinglan called him "senior".
"Hey junior, are you free today?"
"I guess so, why?" Chu Xinglan thought for a moment. She could arrange her own time as she pleased, so this could be considered as having free time.
"Now is the time for you to keep your promise."
"My promise?" Chu Xinglan paused, then suddenly remembered that she had agreed to three requests from Xiao Ze. "You were the one who came up with the third request?"
"Don't worry about the third request for now. You've already met the first one—friends stay in touch all the time—but today I need you to do the second thing."
"The second condition?" Chu Xinglan thought about it seriously. What was the second condition again? "Oh right, I remember now, the second condition is that I agree to be your girlfriend for three days!"
Gu Ye's forehead was covered with dark lines.
What did she say about being someone else's girlfriend?
He didn't react, but patiently listened to her talk to the person on the phone.
"Okay, from today onwards, you are my girlfriend."
"Okay, and then what?"
"Come with me home today."
"Huh? Going home?" Chu Xinglan was surprised. "Weren't we just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend? How did it get to meeting each other's parents?"
"This all happened so suddenly, there's nothing I can do," came Xiao Ze's sigh.
"Can we not go?" Chu Xinglan asked cautiously.
"Junior, you've already betrayed me so quickly? Then I..." Xiao Ze's tone sounded somewhat sad.
"Hey, stop it! I promise, okay?" Chu Xinglan couldn't stand seeing a grown man stammering.
"Okay, dress up nicely." Xiao Ze paused for a moment, then asked, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up!"
Xiao Ze wanted to find out her address.
"I'm..." Chu Xinglan's mind raced. No, what if Gu Ye saw another boy and killed him? She quickly changed her words, "Wait for me at the school gate."
"Okay, then dress up nicely."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xinglan was in a real bind. Should she dress up nicely? To meet the elders? It looked more like a wedding arrangement was being finalized.
She shook her head, realizing she was overthinking things.
When she put down her phone and turned around, she saw Gu Ye's gloomy face.
Chu Xinglan was quite frightened.
"That was just a pretense of being a couple, it doesn't count, don't take it seriously."
"Hmph!" Gu Ye snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
What did he mean by that? Chu Xinglan dared not delve into it.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm going out for a bit today."
"No training today?" Gu Ye raised an eyebrow, his expression still gloomy and uncertain.
"Take a day off!" Chu Xinglan lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and then said confidently, "I think I've made great progress."
"Oh?" Gu Ye walked to Chu Xinglan's side and threw a quick and accurate punch.
Chu Xinglan closed her eyes tightly in fright, and then heard a cracking sound as the wooden stake beside her was smashed.
Chu Xinglan's eyes widened, then she clicked her tongue.
This...this is incredible! Thankfully, it wasn't her or Xiao Ze's head.
Why does it feel like I've been caught cheating by my husband?
“Practicing martial arts is a gradual process, not as easy as you think,” Gu Ye said emotionlessly.
Chu Xinglan glanced at the wooden stake that Gu Ye had smashed, and felt a pang of fear, but she still mustered her courage and stared at Gu Ye with bright eyes.
