It started raining outside the window, dripping against the glass. The weak warm yellow light from a desk lamp spread deep into the sky. Gu Qingwu slowly opened her eyes. The lingering pain made her body covered with a layer of hot sweat. Her head was a little fuzzy. She subconsciously wanted to get up and reach over the man to get the phone on the bedside table.
He Suichen held her tenderly in his arms, sinking into the snow-white and soft quilt. His heavy breathing fell along his forehead, and the scorching heat almost melted her: "Little liar... didn't you say you had no strength left?"
Gu Qingwu wanted to check the time on her cell phone, but her throat was stuck and she couldn't utter a word for a while. Her slender hands subconsciously groped for something on the edge of the bed, and were soon firmly grasped on the pillow by his palms. He kissed her uncontrollably with a strong posture that showed he was in complete control.
The master bedroom was dark and closed, and the smell that lingered in the air had become even stronger.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qingwu's body looked like it had been fished out of the water. His face was pressed against the pillow as he breathed deeply and sweat oozed out of his body. There was a rare charm between his eyebrows that was so vivid that it was mind-boggling.
He Suichen's palm lingered along her collarbone in a soothing manner. The physical satisfaction made him look more gentle and considerate than ever. Even though Gu Qingwu was panting the whole time and couldn't answer him, he coaxed her patiently: "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll hold you while you sleep, okay?"
Gu Qingwu was finally able to breathe normally. She raised her head, her dense eyelashes slightly curled, outlining a light and charming expression: "He Suichen..."
She called out his name, trembling and angry: "If I die on this bed tonight, I will definitely drag you to hell."
In this matter, He Sui Chen seemed to have a demon in his heart. The more he saw her crying, the more he tried to do it. He even whispered in her ear the dirty words hidden deep in his heart, word by word. He didn't act like a monk who followed strict precepts at all.
Seeing her look of being bullied, He Suichen leaned down and kissed her ear, his voice revealing the unique hoarse tone after the incident: "I thought you liked it very much... Don't you like it? That's okay, I will make you like it more next time."
Gu Qingwu didn't know how many times he had died tonight. Right now, he didn't even have the energy to complain. He just wanted to lie there motionless and didn't bother to pay attention to these words.
Fortunately, He Sui Chen knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would probably make her angry, so he just held her gently in his arms, their skins touching closely, feeling each other's warmth. This was the most intimate thing in the world.
Gu Qingwu instinctively felt attached to him. She pressed her cheek against his jaw and gently closed her eyes, but she had no intention of falling asleep.
She was so tired, but she still forced herself to stay conscious and waited until his slender hands were tightly clasped together. His voice was particularly clear in the middle of the night: "I'll tell you a bedtime story. After you finish listening, will you go to sleep?"
Gu Qingwu nodded slightly, raised her hands to hug his waist, and enjoyed this moment of tenderness.
I don't know why, but after doing this with him, I started to become more and more dependent on him both physically and mentally.
After a moment, He Suichen spoke slowly and in a low voice, his pronunciation was particularly pleasant: "When my parents were alive, they were recognized by the family as a model loving couple. They decided to be together for life after knowing each other for a year. They had two sons. My father doted on his wife the most. The couple's relationship was so close that even the heavens would be jealous of them."
Gu Qingwu's original family was just the opposite. It prompted her to open her hazy eyes and look at the outline of the man's face hidden in the semi-darkness, without any emotional ups and downs.
Just like telling a story, he wrote lightly: "When I was three years old, they had a car accident on the highway. It was rumored that the fire was so big that the couple had no chance to escape. In fact, my father had already come out. With his hands covered in blood, he carried me to the side of the road. He looked back and saw that my mother was trapped in the car... and then he went back without hesitation."
What everyone knows is that the head of the He family smashed the car window with his bare hands, threw his youngest son out of the car within two minutes of the car explosion, and he and his wife were burned to death in the raging fire. The scene was so horrific that the police officers handling the accident didn't dare to even look at it.
He Sui Chen, who was only three years old, witnessed it with his own eyes: his father returned to the car and held his mother in his arms. In the thick smoke and burning fire, they looked at him from afar. That look was like the shackles of hell that trapped him at such a young age for ten years.
Gu Qingwu felt suffocated in her chest and subconsciously grasped his slender wrist: "Brother..."
He Suichen lowered his head to kiss her. These unknown past events, he could now deal with them calmly: "That year, the He family was in turmoil. In order to protect the family business for my brother and prevent it from being embezzled by the people in the clan, my aunt took the initiative to cancel the arranged marriage... For a full ten years, she spent a lot of effort to train my brother."
As a married woman, He Yuliu cannot interfere in the affairs of the He family.
She knew this better than anyone else, so she let down her lover and stayed in the He family, placing all her hopes on He Yunjian, winning over the elders of the clan to help him and removing all obstacles.
However, man proposes, God disposes. In the year when He Yunjian finally became a qualified person in power, no one expected that the car accident would happen again in the He family.
He Sui paused for a long time before continuing, "After my brother got into trouble, my aunt bet her entire life on me. She has been in power for ten years, and has long since developed a personality that requires everyone in the world to obey her arrangements. Qing Wu, no matter what she says to you without authorization, don't listen to it. It's not my intention."
Gu Qingwu couldn't bear to take her eyes off his face, and she understood the meaning of his words.
No matter what sacrifices He Yuliu made for the He family, He Sui Chen had to respect his aunt on the surface.
But he is different from He Yunjian. He was carefully raised as the heir of the family since he was young, and he felt that his aunt had done him a favor. After his parents passed away, he was first sent to the old patriarch to be raised, and later he followed his master to practice Buddhism and Taoism in the temple.
Therefore, He Sui Chen's heart leans towards the woman with whom he has done the most intimate things, rather than his aunt who is concerned about the future generations of the He family.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, Gu Qingwu hugged him tightly, rubbing her fingertips slowly on the skin of the man's lower back, and whispered: "Your aunt... wants to adopt me as her daughter, He Suichen... I'm afraid her hope will be dashed. We can't be cousins tonight."
"Besides telling you the He family's ancestral precepts and wanting to adopt you as her daughter, is there anything else she wants to tell you?" He Sui asked her in a calm voice.
Gu Qingwu shook her head and said what was in her heart without exaggerating: "Your aunt was very polite to me. She always said that I was good-looking and that I had a connection with her. Even after I left, she never forgot to ask the driver to send me off and bring me a shawl."
"Your aunt... is a very good person. Apart from my mother Fu Wanwan, she is the most meticulous elder I have ever seen. She obviously hates me to death, but she still pretends to be as close to me as mother and daughter."
Come to think of it, a woman who could take charge of the entire He family at such a young age after the accidental death of her brother and sister-in-law must be an extraordinary person.
He Suichen touched her face with his long fingers and whispered softly, "I promise, she won't bother you again in private."
Gu Qingwu nodded. She was already very tired. She had already exhausted herself to be able to hold on until now and talk to him. After being held for a while, she finally fell asleep, her low, shallow breaths falling on his chest.
The rain outside the glass window gradually stopped. In the quiet master bedroom, He Sui Chen saw that she was completely asleep, so he got up quietly, put on his shirt and trousers meticulously, fastened the buttons with his long fingers, walked to the bed, lowered his head and kissed her gently for a few seconds.
Gu Qingwu was unaware of it. She curled up in the quilt with her black hair and fair skin. Her tightly closed eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow, and she looked exceptionally well-behaved.
He Sui Chen couldn't help but kiss her again. He pressed against her lips and quietly found the soft tip of his tongue. He bit her lightly with very little force before leaving.
6:10 in the morning, in the He family’s old house.
He Yuliu has been accustomed to getting up early to eat at this time for ten years. She walked down the stairs and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure sitting in the main seat in the living room. The housekeeper had been waiting there and personally brought a pot of hot tea.
He Yuliu smiled on her well-maintained face, walked over and said, "I've changed the pot of tea. What time did Sui Chen come?"
He Sui Chen sat there somewhat leisurely, with the warm yellow light above his head evenly sprinkled on the contours of his handsome face. His expression was calm, and his well-proportioned fingers were bent as he picked up the teacup and took a sip, without any sign of fatigue from not sleeping all night.
In the atmosphere where no one answered, the wind swept over and gave her a calm and oppressive look.
He Yuliu didn't know why, but he felt that as he grew older, he became more and more like his deceased brother.
He is not the child who was at the mercy of others back then who could be sent away just because the clan leader decided to raise him.
She walked to the nearest chair and sat down, her tone soft and slow: "What's the matter with coming to see aunt so early in the morning?"
He Sui Chen finished his tea and handed it back to the housekeeper. Then he moved his thin lips and spoke in a clear and light voice: "Aunt, have you met Gu Qingwu?"
Seeing his attitude of accusing him, He Yuliu understood a little and brought out the ancestral teachings, "You knew her last name was Gu and what kind of girl she was, but you insisted on getting entangled with her... Sui Chen, that girl is not suitable for you. She is too arrogant and wants men to kneel down."
He Suichen suddenly smiled, but with a strange and distant tone: "What's wrong with kneeling to her?"
He Yuliu choked for two seconds and brought out the ancestral precepts again: "As the head of the family, you shouldn't be with her."
He Sui Chen saw that He Yuliu was suppressing his anger and his eyes looked like he was about to tear him apart, but he actually found it very funny. It took him a while to stop laughing. His voice was low, revealing the dominance of a superior:
"I was the one who pursued her first, and luckily she liked me too. Whether it was right or not, we were already in love with each other..."
"He Suichen, are you going to disregard the family rules?"
"Aunt, nothing can stop me from wanting her."
He Sui Chen has always seemed easy to get along with on the surface, but in fact he was just pretending. If anyone dared to touch his weak spot, there would be no chance to regret it.
He Yuliu knew it best, if only he could play the emotional card with him.
Back then, He Sui Chen would not have decided to give all the property under his brother's name to Yu Siqing, nor would he have refused the marriage arranged for him by the He family.
Apart from coming back to inherit the family business to please her, there was nothing he would do as she pleased.
He Yuliu was furious. He threw the teacup at He Suichen, who was sitting in the main seat. He stood up suddenly and pointed at him: "Your brother has become a vegetable and will never wake up in this lifetime... Great, you are the only one in the He family. You are getting more and more capable."
The boiling tea burned the left shoulder of He Suichen's suit, but he didn't even frown, and casually brushed away the tea leaves with his long fingers.
Then he watched coldly, watching He Yuliu's elegant demeanor lose its entire form, and raised his voice to sneer:
"If you dare to marry the daughter of the Gu family, do you think I'm dead?"
"Aunt, you are too kind."
He Suichen's pleasant voice was calm, as if he was chatting about some family matters: "You have stayed in the He family all your life and never married. In the future, I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life... I sincerely hope that you will live a long life."
"You are such a traitor. I am so angry at you that I am going to die."
He Sui Chen didn't care about her sharp words, and continued to speak calmly: "It's my nephew's fault, aunt, don't worry, I will take care of you in the future, so you don't have to go through the trouble of recognizing a daughter."
He Yuliu looked at him coldly, and there was no teacup at hand to throw at him.
He Sui Chen didn't smile, and every word he said was unquestionable, calmly stating a fact:
"In my case, you can only be a loving couple with a girl from the Gu family, not siblings."
The author has something to say: Mr. He and our girl are worthy of being husband and wife. When it comes to quarreling, they can make people so angry that they bleed!
