Gu Zhengwan's body hit the door, and she let out a startled cry. Xie Chengrui, who was originally outside the door, thought Gu Zhengwan had already gone to rest and was about to leave when he just happened to hear this sound.
Could something have happened to Gu Zhengwan? Thinking this, Xie Chengrui directly pushed open the door.
Xie Jiuan originally planned to take Gu Jiangyue out through the window, but they didn't expect Xie Chengrui to act so quickly. The door was about to be pushed open. Xie Jiuan looked around.
This room was originally small, and there were even fewer places to hide, not to mention a place that could hide two people together.
Just at this critical moment, Xie Jiuan saw a suitable place. He quickly grabbed Gu Jiangyue and rolled with her directly under the bed.
He moved swiftly and finally pulled in the skirt of Gu Jiangyue that was left outside the bed just as Xie Chengrui fully opened the door. Despite this, the space under the bed was still a bit small, and the two of them were crowded. They were very close to each other, but neither dared to move, because the slightest carelessness might lead to their discovery.
Xie Chengrui pushed open the door and immediately noticed Gu Zhengwan lying on the ground. He was a bit confused and wanted to reach out to pull her up. But as soon as he helped her up, Gu Zhengwan clung to him limply like a boneless person and finally murmured his name.
Hearing Gu Zhengwan's continuous breathing in his ear, Xie Chengrui wanted to push her away, but Gu Zhengwan was like glue on him. Every time he pushed her away, she would stick to him again.
As if this wasn't enough, Gu Zhengwan began to cling to Xie Chengrui's chest and tug at his clothes.
During their entanglement, Xie Chengrui felt his mind becoming a bit hazy. He thought Gu Zhengwan seemed especially beautiful today. Gu Zhengwan's initiative left Xie Chengrui with no time to notice if there was something wrong with the incense. Unconsciously, desire also showed in his eyes.
Xie Chengrui's actions of pushing Gu Zhengwan away became gentler and gentler until his hands were on her waist.
Gu Jiangyue was under the bed. The moonlight was faint. She didn't dare to look out. After a while, the sound of their tug-of-war gradually changed. Several pieces of clothing were casually scattered in front of Gu Jiangyue. Gu Jiangyue was overjoyed. It seemed that the plan had succeeded.
Gu Jiangyue reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Xie Jiuan's clothes, but found that Xie Jiuan didn't respond.
It wasn't that Xie Jiuan didn't want to respond to Gu Jiangyue. When he brought Gu Jiangyue under the bed just now, Gu Jiangyue accidentally knocked open the acupoints he had originally sealed. Although Xie Jiuan had tried his best to seal the acupoints again, he had also inhaled some of the incense, and his head was groggy.
The sounds of Xie Chengrui and Gu Zhengwan echoed in the already small space and pierced into the eardrums of Xie Jiuan and Gu Jiangyue. Xie Jiuan looked down at Gu Jiangyue.
He originally thought that as a delicate young lady in the boudoir, Gu Jiangyue had never seen such a scene and should be shy. But in the moonlight, Xie Jiuan saw that Gu Jiangyue's face was extremely calm, with no expression.
Xie Jiuan just stared at Gu Jiangyue like this. Her cheeks were fair, and her almond eyes contained a touch of autumn water, more charming than the spring scenery. She was especially beautiful. The desire that Xie Jiuan had originally suppressed gradually climbed onto every inch of his body again.
"We can't just stay here listening, right?"
Gu Jiangyue looked up at Xie Jiuan. She didn't want to stay here listening to the two people's passionate sounds.
But now Xie Jiuan couldn't hear anything. He watched Gu Jiangyue's lips moving. Her lips were full and rosy, extremely beautiful.
The next moment, Xie Jiuan couldn't hold back anymore. He lowered his head slightly and pressed his lips against Gu Jiangyue's. The slightly cool touch made Gu Jiangyue stunned for a moment. She wanted to dodge, but the next moment, a big hand tightened around her slender waist.
Xie Jiuan got closer to Gu Jiangyue, leaving her nowhere to escape. Their lips and teeth met, gently touching, like the tenderness of the moonlight.
A white light exploded in Gu Jiangyue's mind. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she knew that Xie Jiuan had also inhaled the incense. Gu Jiangyue didn't move and just let Xie Jiuan kiss her like this.
Xie Jiuan seemed to regain some of his senses. He stopped his action and instead hugged Gu Jiangyue tightly in his arms. He leaned close to Gu Jiangyue's ear and whispered. His voice was extremely hoarse.
"Don't move. I won't kiss you anymore. Just let me hold you for a while."
The warm breath he exhaled floated around Gu Jiangyue's ear, stimulating every nerve of hers. Gu Jiangyue originally had no reaction, but the after - effect made her heart pound.
Her cheeks gradually became hot. Gu Jiangyue knew that if Xie Jiuan looked at her now, he would find that her cheeks must be as red as a ripe apple.
Gu Jiangyue didn't dare to move anymore, for fear that any of her actions would stimulate Xie Jiuan again. She just nestled in Xie Jiuan's arms, with her head resting on his chest, quietly listening to the interweaving and merging of their heartbeats.
Xie Jiuan did this to help her. Gu Jiangyue was also surprised by her reaction of not pushing Xie Jiuan away just now. She could only keep finding reasons in her heart to explain all this. She didn't dare to admit that she seemed to have a different kind of emotion towards Xie Jiuan.
She originally thought that in her previous life, she had accumulated enough disappointment beside Xie Chengrui and would never trust anyone again. But she underestimated Xie Jiuan. He would help her and tolerate everything about her.
These were things that Gu Jiangyue had never experienced beside Xie Chengrui in the more than twenty years of her previous life. But undeniably, she really liked these things. She was just a delicate young lady who was forced to grow up in the power struggles in the imperial palace.
She had once envied Gu Zhengwan, but she had tried her best to convince herself to accept all the unfairness in the world. Then Xie Jiuan came.
If she were still the Gu Jiangyue before she married Xie Chengrui in her previous life, she would definitely tell Xie Jiuan without hesitation that she liked him. But now she had changed. She was no longer pure. She was afraid that she would affect Xie Jiuan.
Gu Jiangyue weighed too many things and bore too much. For this sudden help, she didn't know whether to accept or reject it.
Gu Jiangyue let out a long sigh. She tried hard to restrain herself from thinking about these things. She just lay on Xie Jiuan's chest, smelling the familiar scent on him.
She often fantasized about how good it would be if Xie Jiuan could come earlier.
Xie Jiuan seemed to hear Gu Jiangyue's sigh. He had already circulated his internal energy to suppress the effect of the incense again. Xie Jiuan guessed in his heart that it should be his actions just now that had scared Gu Jiangyue.
Xie Jiuan placed his hand on Gu Jiangyue's head and gently patted it. His voice was soft and pleasant as he comforted Gu Jiangyue.
"Don't be afraid. It's my fault."
