Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 787 - 784 Sleep

However, that little gesture just now instantly extinguished the hope that Gu Chen had just kindled.

Well, perhaps it isn’t so bad to interact in this manner. At least she is still by his side, isn’t she?

After a while, rustling sounds came from beside him, and Gu Chen instantly sat up to see Gu Li preparing to get out of bed. He pursed his lips and asked, "Where are you going at this hour?"

Apparently not expecting Gu Chen to still be awake, Gu Li’s figure stiffened, and she slowly turned back, pointing at the door, "I want to get a drink of water~"

"..."

Seeing that Gu Chen’s expression did not soften, she turned around and continued to head outside. As soon as her front foot stepped out of the room, she heard Gu Chen’s voice behind her: "Get me a glass too~"

"Okay."

Shortly after, Gu Li came in with a glass of water, placed it beside the bed, and then lay back down in her own spot, her back turned to Gu Chen.

But, after lying down, she couldn’t feel a bit of sleepiness, whether consciously or unconsciously, she could always hear the sounds from Gu Chen’s side.

Finally, the room became completely silent, leaving only the steady breathing of the two people.

Gu Li closed her eyes, forcing herself to fall asleep, but the more she tried to sleep, the less she could. The scent coming from the man beside her made Gu Li feel irritated.

This scent was exactly like the one deep in her memory, lingering and inescapable.

For some reason, Gu Li suddenly felt agitated and restless, turned over, and when she looked up, her eyes fiercely met the man’s bright star-like eyes. She was slightly startled.

"Can’t sleep?"

"Mhm."

He looked at her, and she somewhat embarrassedly averted her gaze, "Sorry, I disturbed you."

"I can’t sleep either." He deliberately lowered his voice, filled with a tone of affectionate longing.

"Is it because of Dabao’s matter? Don’t worry, Mr. Lu will definitely bring his child back safely."

"I know. But it’s not because of that I can’t sleep. Gu Li, there’s something I want to talk to you about." Gu Chen thought that it’s better to say some things earlier than too late, dominating husband, gently pampering as if hastening an early end—if she really doesn’t want it, then let her go.

Yet before he could finish his sentence, he heard Gu Li say to him, "I know what you are going to say... But," Gu Li took a deep breath, looking directly into his eyes, "Gu Chen, give me some time to accept you, okay?"

Having said that, she leaned in and kissed his face, "I... I can’t get too close to you right now, but you can... can... take it slow..."

Having lived for decades and done many things, Gu Chen had never been kissed by a woman before, so you can imagine his reaction at the moment.

He lay quietly, not saying anything, fearing that he was dreaming. However, the next second, a cool sensation came from the palm of his hand, and Gu Chen couldn’t keep calm. It took him a great effort to suppress the impulse in his heart, and he said sternly, "Go to sleep."

"Gu Chen..."

"Don’t want to sleep? Then do something else."

As soon as the words left Gu Chen’s mouth, Gu Li withdrew her hand from his palm like she was throwing away a hot potato, leaving just two words, "Goodnight~"

Leng Shuangshuang hung up the phone and then turned to Qin Huaixin, "Mom, dad said we should hide."

Qin Huaixin pouted, "Let’s go, we won’t wait for him." If it wasn’t for coming to the Lu Family to find Leng Yixing, she would not have taken Leng Shuangshuang to get lost, let alone lose her phone."

"But Mommy, brother Dabao..."
