"You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa." Gu Ruochu wiped her hair as she thought about her plan.
2She did not notice that Huo Nanchen's expression had turned ugly.
2It wasn't as if they hadn't slept in the same bed before. He had not refused her when she had insisted on his sleeping in his bed a while back. Why did she suddenly change her mind and choose to sleep separately?
2"Come here, I have something to tell you."
2"What is it?" Gu Ruochu saw that Huo Nanchen's smile was a little evil, but she still moved closer.
2Huo Nanchen pulled her into his arms as soon as he touched the corner of her clothes. The two of them then rolled onto the bed.
2There was a faint smell of mint mixed with tobacco. Additionally, a strange refreshing fragrance filled the air.
2"You Rascal, is this what you meant when you said you have something to say?" Gu Ruochu placed her hand on his chest. When she felt his heartbeat, she couldn't help but shrink back a little.
2"Close Your eyes and go to sleep."
2Huo Nanchen closed his eyes but did not say anything. His movements were a little cautious as if he was afraid that too much force would hurt her.
2Gu Ruochu thought back to their encounter at the hot spring. He seemed to be more in control of his emotions compared to that moment.
2After some time, Gu Ruochu saw that he seemed to be asleep and tried to break free from his embrace.
2She did not expect that Huo Nanchen would press her lower abdomen with one of his long legs as soon as she got up. With a slight push, she crashed into his embrace once again.
Gu Ruochu was helpless.
2"Behave yourself!" Gu Ruochu gritted her teeth. She did not want to struggle with him anymore.
2It seemed he had decided to use her as his human pillow.
2The night dawned and it was the day of the dinner party. Early in the morning, the maids came in and out of the house, busying themselves with cleaning up the house and the entire villa.
2Not only were the Huo family's close friends and relatives attending the banquet, but other noble and prestigious families would also be at the party.
2"Auntie." Huo Jingjing was dressed in a noble gown. She happily stepped forward, "Auntie, you're so beautiful today. You look even younger."
2Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei were not in a hurry to compliment her. By standing quietly at the side, Mrs. Huo's impression of them only grew worse.
2Mrs. Huo smiled faintly at Huo Jingjing's attempt to please her and walked down the escalator.
2"Where's Ruochu?"
2"Madam, the Young Madam is still in her room. She should be downstairs any minute now."
2Nanny Zhang's response gave Mrs. Huo some confidence.
2"Auntie, I don't think sister-in-law has a decent gown." Huo Jingjing quickly interjected. "Why don't I take her to do some shopping? I guarantee that I pick out the best gown for her. How about it?"
2"You?" Mrs. Huo thought about the idea and felt that it made sense. "That's good. It's best to choose a suitable gown. I trust your judgment."
2After all, Huo Jingjing had followed her father all these years and had been used to such grand occasions.
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
2Huo Jingjing turned her back and a vicious smile appeared on her lips. This time, she would bully Gu Ruochu to death.
2"Sister-in-law..."
2Huo Jingjing and Gu Yanwei made their way up the stairs towards Gu Ruochu's bedroom.
2When Huo Jingjing opened the door, she saw Gu Ruochu standing in the room. Her lazy posture was filled with a casual look. "What's the matter?"
2"Ruochu, Jingjing has volunteered to help you pick out a gown." Gu Yanwei was the first to speak. "Auntie Huo has agreed. Now hurry up and leave."
2Afraid that Gu Ruochu would not agree, Gu Yanwei used Mrs. Huo to pressure her.
2"Oh?" Gu Ruochu deliberately dragged out her last syllable. That icy, half-smiling expression made Gu Yanwei very uncomfortable.
