Yuan Yiyun carried a high - end Chanel bag in her left hand and dialed Gu Bei's number with her right hand. As expected, there was no answer. She smacked her lips unhappily. "How dare he not answer my call!"
Today, Yuan's father had set up a situation and asked Yuan Yiyun to bring Gu Bei home for dinner, aiming to promote their marriage. More than two years had passed since the engagement agreement, but Gu Bei showed no sign of progress. How could he not be anxious!
Gu Bei simply dismissed Yuan Yiyun with a single sentence "I'm busy" and then took that annoying girl Xie Bingxia out for fun. For the first time, Yuan Yiyun felt jealous. She quickly followed their car.
As a result, they actually went to a desolate and remote place for a date?
Yuan Yiyun looked down at the mud on her high - heeled shoes and became even more unhappy. She said to the servant beside her, "Book a room for me. No, a villa. That kind." She pointed to the single - story wooden cottages sporadically dotted in the woods not far away. "Then go and find out where Gu Bei is. Let me know when you find him."
When Qin Feng and his group saw Yuan Yiyun swaying away, they came out from behind the car. The first thing Yan Xiaoyi asked Qin Feng was, "Did you book a room? Where are we going to stay tonight?"
Qin Feng slapped his forehead. He had just learned from Xie Bingxia this morning that she and Gu Bei were coming here for camping. When would he have time to book a room? Not to mention preparing other equipment for the night.
Li Duo observed the situation and volunteered to go and book a room. He came back dejected more than ten minutes later. "All the hotels are fully booked. The last villa has also been booked by Yuan Yiyun."
"Then... then we'll sleep in the car. Three people can squeeze. It's okay..." Qin Feng glanced at his small car and couldn't continue his words. He could only change the topic. "I'll go and see Xie Bingxia. You two go and buy some food."
Gu Bei and Xie Bingxia were having a great time in the brook. Xie Bingxia insisted on catching the fish herself. She jumped around in the water. The fish were so slippery that they slipped out of her hands several times after she caught them. Gu Bei couldn't stand it anymore. He directly found a bucket from the trunk and scooped up several fish at once.
"It's so boring to do it like this!" Xie Bingxia ignored him and stubbornly insisted on doing it herself. Finally, she caught a fish and excitedly jumped onto Gu Bei.
Gu Bei spread his arms and caught Xie Bingxia like a child. She held up the small fish in her hand, her legs swaying. The bright sunshine shone into her eyes, as if all the stars in the world were revolving around her.
Gu Bei hadn't been this happy for a long time. He swept away the haze in his heart and carried Xie Bingxia towards the tent. "It's time for you to cook for me, isn't it?"
It was time for Xie Bingxia to show her skills. She skillfully picked up a small knife, gutted the fish and washed it clean. She first marinated it with coarse salt and simple seasonings for a while, and then fried it directly in the pan. In a short while, the fragrance of the fish wafted into Gu Bei's nose, a pure and natural smell. Xie Bingxia also quickly made a simple dish. A camping meal was soon placed in front of Gu Bei.
"I didn't expect you to have improved so much after living in the dormitory. Your self - care ability has greatly improved." Gu Bei chewed the crispy and delicious small fish and praised.
"If you marry me, I'll cook for you every day." Xie Bingxia said this without the slightest bit of shyness, staring directly at Gu Bei.
"You're so young, but you keep thinking about getting married." Gu Bei murmured. "Am I really that good?"
"You keep kissing me. If you kiss me, it means you like me. If you like me, you should marry me later!"
Gu Bei was speechless. He picked up a chopstick of cold - dressed seaweed and stuffed it into her mouth. "Eat quickly. You talk too much." He also picked up a piece of fish and said, "By the way, let's make it clear first. We're not allowed to sleep in the tent tonight. I've booked a villa. Be a good girl and go there with me tonight."
"Ah..." Xie Bingxia was extremely disappointed. Sleeping in the small tent at night, listening to the rustling wind in the forest as she fell asleep, was her wish. But thinking that Gu Bei had accompanied her to play for a whole day without complaining about dirt or tiredness, she compromised. "Okay."
In the woods not far away, Qin Feng wore a crown made of branches on his head, gnawed on the dry bread, and was forced to watch the sweet interaction between the other two. He felt so uncomfortable that he could only swallow his sad tears back until the evening mist was thick.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Bei quickly packed up the equipment and took Xie Bingxia to find the villa. The villa was clean and comfortable. Xie Bingxia was tired from playing. She took off her shoes and fell onto the bed. Soon, soft snores came from her. Gu Bei covered her with a blanket and walked out of the door with his phone.
By this time, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, taking away the beautiful sunset. The sky was dotted with stars, and a crescent moon emitted a hazy moonlight.
Gu Bei flipped through his call log and saw more than twenty missed calls. He called Yuan Yiyun back.
"Humph, you finally remembered me?" Yuan Yiyun's tone was very dissatisfied. "You had a great time playing with that annoying girl!"
Gu Bei suddenly sensed something and asked straightforwardly, "You followed us?"
"I came all the way here for you. Shouldn't you come and greet me?" Yuan Yiyun coquettishly said.
Gu Bei gently pushed open the door and glanced at Xie Bingxia's sleeping face inside. "No. We'll talk about it when we get back if there's anything."
"Gu Bei—! I'm telling you to come here!" Yuan Yiyun's voice became sharp. "Don't forget your deal with the Yuan family!"
Gu Bei lowered his eyes and let out an almost inaudible sigh. "Which villa are you in?"
"It's just next to yours. Hurry up."
At this moment, Yuan Yiyun was wearing a sexy nightgown with spaghetti straps. She was holding a wine glass and standing at the door to greet Gu Bei. She saw his reluctant and gloomy face at a glance and said with a smile, "Come in and talk."
Gu Bei walked in and saw that the lights in the room were dim and even scented candles were lit, creating an ambiguous atmosphere. He immediately felt something was wrong. Yuan Yiyun turned around and closed the door. She carefully looked over Gu Bei's straight back and well - defined side face, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a charming smile.
She put down the wine glass and stepped forward to hug Gu Bei around the waist. "It's been a long time. I've missed you so much."
Gu Bei instinctively jumped back. "Just say what you want."
"Humph, you're so boring." Yuan Yiyun pouted and poured a glass of red wine for Gu Bei. "I just want you to accompany me."
Gu Bei didn't take the wine. He said with a smile, "Miss Yuan has never taken me seriously. What are you up to now?"
"I've changed my mind." Yuan Yiyun took a sip of the red wine. She used to flirt around and fall in love easily, and she really didn't take Gu Bei seriously. A straight - laced man whose heart was only filled with his dead lover could never arouse her interest. However, she was wrong. When she saw Gu Bei with Xie Bingxia, he seemed like a young man experiencing his first love. The strong hormonal aura he emitted gradually attracted and conquered her.
Yuan Yiyun wanted Gu Bei, and she couldn't wait.
"Stay with me tonight." Yuan Yiyun almost commanded Gu Bei. Gu Bei understood. He had always resisted reaching this point. If he finally had to sacrifice his body to achieve his ultimate goal, it might not be unacceptable. It was just his body, not like he was a chaste and heroic person. There was nothing to be overly concerned about.
But now it was different. He thought of Xie Bingxia's cute and naughty smile. Suddenly, he felt that he was extremely precious and he must not cross the last line.
"Sorry." Gu Bei coldly refused. "I'm going back."
Yuan Yiyun wasn't angry. She twirled the glass in her hand. "The shares of the Xia Corporation... Don't you want them anymore?"
Gu Bei stopped in his tracks and turned around. Yuan Yiyun smiled. She slowly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Bei's front collar, and took small steps backward, pulling him closer to the bed.
"See, in the end, you still have to listen to me." Yuan Yiyun was very proud. She gave Gu Bei a hard push. Gu Bei fell onto the bed, and she immediately pounced on him, lifting his chin and forcing his heroic eyes to reflect her charming appearance.
Yuan Yiyun drank up the red wine in one gulp. Her fingers loosened, and the wine glass clanged onto the carpet.
"Gu Bei, guess how we're going to play tonight?"
