That skin was flawlessly white, its texture distinct and its contours perfect, inspiring all manner of fantasies.
As her gaze moved upward, she saw a pair of exquisite collarbones, a sensual chin, perfectly shaped thin lips... until a breathtakingly beautiful face came fully into view.
“Finally awake.” The corners of the man’s lips curved slightly, blossoming into a smile capable of captivating all living beings.
“What are you doing here?” Gu Qingyun’s expression darkened as she suddenly retreated.
The man merely stretched out his long arm, turned over, and pinned her beneath him.
His ink-black hair fell beside her, while his handsome, almost bewitching face hovered above her. “Guess.”
His breath drifted gently across her face like down.
Gu Qingyun’s face darkened so much it could scrape off a layer of soot from the bottom of a pot. She abruptly struck out, aiming straight for the man’s throat.
Gong Yunxu caught her hand effortlessly and brought it to his lips for a kiss.
Gu Qingyun instantly felt like killing him!
She bent her knee and thrust it upward.
Gong Yunxu used his knee to press it down, trapping it between his legs. He picked up a stray lock of hair beside her face and sighed helplessly. “We already have a child, so why are you still so irritable?”
A child?
Gu Qingyun thought of that adorable little toddler, and dangerous light flashed in her eyes. “Were those Black-Clad Men last night your people?”
“Mm-hmm. They had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai; they didn’t recognize This Seat’s Madam, so This Seat punished them by making them kneel outside on the stone slabs. If you’re still angry, why not come up with an idea and give them some additional punishment?”
“What Madam?” Gu Qingyun glared at him with a sharp and fierce gaze. Was there something wrong with this man’s head?
Gong Yunxu looked astonished. “You and I already have a child. Although things did progress a little quickly, you can’t simply use me and then forget me, abandoning your responsibilities, can you? Wouldn’t that make our child an orphan?”
The accusation in his eyes was utterly clear, as though Gu Qingyun truly were a heartless woman who had abandoned her husband and child.
The veins at Gu Qingyun’s temples throbbed.
If she kept communicating with this lunatic, she would sooner or later vomit blood and die.
After taking a deep breath, she said coldly, “Let go of me first. If you have something to say, sit properly and say it.”
“We can talk slowly. Some things can be done first.” Gong Yunxu smiled and blew gently toward her face.
Even an uncle could endure this, but an aunt certainly could not!
Gu Qingyun opened her mouth, baring her sharp teeth toward his handsome chin.
Gong Yunxu had not expected her to use such a move. She bit him squarely, making him let out a muffled groan, and his hand moved to her waist, giving it a gentle squeeze.
All the strength in Gu Qingyun’s body suddenly vanished like air escaping from a balloon.
A jade-like, slender hand gripped her chin, and she involuntarily opened her mouth.
Gong Yunxu gazed at her with deep, shadowy eyes. “Madam is so passionate. Your Husband is truly flattered.”
Gu Qingyun met his eyes and realized things were bad. She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide. He gripped her chin and kissed her.
Just as Gu Qingyun was despairing, a Little Milk Bun waved his tiny claws and struck toward Gong Yunxu.
Gong Yunxu dodged while holding Gu Qingyun, and the two of them rolled beneath the bed, with the latter breaking the former’s fall.
“No! No kissing! Bad guy!” On the bed, the childish voice was filled with anger.
Gu Qingyun shoved Gong Yunxu away, rose, and looked in astonishment at the Little Boy wearing a Dudou.
“Mother, hug.” Seeing her look at him, the Little Milk Bun’s angry expression disappeared, replaced by an innocent, adorable smile.
Gu Qingyun’s eyes flickered lightly as she gathered the Little Milk Bun into her arms.
She had not forgotten how much importance that group of people had placed on the Little Milk Bun the previous night.
The Little Milk Bun was her life-preserving talisman for now.
She turned and warily looked at the flashy man lying on his side on the floor, propping his head up with one hand.
She said nothing, but her threat was obvious.
Gong Yunxu did not become angry; instead, he laughed. His intoxicating peach blossom eyes seemed veiled by a layer of hazy gauze, making them impossible to see clearly.
Gu Qingyun pursed her lips and slightly knitted her delicate brows. She had always been able to see through people’s hearts, but she could not understand this man before her in the slightest.
Being impossible to see through meant danger!
If she had known that the Little Milk Bun was connected to this man, she would never have taken the Little Milk Bun away yesterday.
Unfortunately, by this point, it was probably too late for regret.
She asked, “What exactly are you trying to do?”
