Chapter 394: Night Attack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Chen retracted his gaze from Jiang He and looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, subconsciously thinking of Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao should be in the Chu family villa now, spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Chu family. Perhaps they would also be eating mooncakes together and admiring the moon.
Ji Chen recalled the smile on her face when he talked about the Chu family with Gu Xiao. He understood that Gu Xiao must be doing well in the Chu family villa.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen’s lips curled up.
It was already too late in her previous life. The only thing he could do for Gu Xiao now was to protect her.
Ji Chen lowered his eyes and a dark look flashed across his eyes, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Ji Chen and Jiang He were about to rest, Gu Xiao and the Chu family had already finished admiring the moon and returned to their respective rooms, planning to rest.
Mrs Chu was worried about Chu Zi saying that Chu An had bullied Gu Xiao, so she arranged a guest room for Gu Xiao.
However, Chu An was her biological son after all, so the guest room arranged for Gu Xiao was beside Chu An’s room. This could be considered as comforting Chu An.
However, even Mrs Chu probably didn’t expect that her arrangements would benefit Chu An.
After washing up, Gu Xiao lay on the bed and fell into the soft blankets.
Too many things had happened today. Previously, when she was chatting with the Chu family, she did not feel it. Now that she was lying on the bed, she felt sleep rush over like a tide. In just a moment, it swallowed her.
Just as Gu Xiao was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard some movement from the direction of the door, as if someone wanted to open the door from the outside.
The moment she heard the sound, even if Gu Xiao knew that she was safe in the Chu residence, she could not help but wake up. She sat up and stared at the door warily.
After the sound at the door was heard a few times, Gu Xiao heard a click. Then, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A furry head poked in first and slowly raised eyes to size up the room. freewebnove(l)
After seeing who it was, Gu Xiao relaxed. She even had a thought that she had expected this.
Chu An subconsciously looked in the direction of the bathroom. When he didn’t hear anything, he turned to look at the bed and happened to meet Gu Xiao’s gaze.
Chu An tightened his grip on the door handle, and under Gu Xiao’s probing gaze, a smile appeared on his face.
He straightened up and walked into Gu Xiao’s room, closing the door behind him.
“Xiaoxiao, you’re still awake?”
Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes. “If 1 were asleep, would I still be able to see such an exciting scene?”
Moreover, he had clearly taken a first look at the bathroom just now, but now he actually had the cheek to ask if she was asleep? Did he really think that she did not know what he was thinking when he looked at the bathroom?
Facing Gu Xiao’s teasing, Chu An’s face didn’t turn red, and his heart didn’t skip a beat. His skin was thicker than tree bark, and he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with breaking into someone else’s room in the middle of the night.
Chu An walked towards Gu Xiao’s bed without any scruples. “Even if I don’t see you tonight, Xiaoxiao might see me tomorrow morning.”
Gu Xiao looked at Chu An’s self-righteous appearance and couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
Under Gu Xiao’s indescribable gaze, Chu An climbed onto Gu Xiao’s bed and reached out to hug Gu Xiao’s waist. He even comforted Gu Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, you must be tired today. Let’s sleep early too!”
If you hadn’t suddenly come over, she would have fallen asleep long ago!
Gu Xiao thought to herself and said it out loud.
Chu An wasn’t embarrassed at all. “So in order to apologize to you, I’ll compensate you with myself. I’ll sleep with you.”
It was clearly Chu An who wanted to sleep with Gu Xiao, but after Chu An said this, it forcefully became as if it was Gu Xiao’s request.
He held Gu Xiao and led her to lie down on the bed.
This was because Mrs Chu had only prepared a single pillow for Gu Xiao. At this moment, Chu An benefited as Chu An could sleep close to Gu Xiao and use the same pillow.
He reached out and patted Gu Xiao’s back. “Alright, let’s sleep!”
Gu Xiao and Chu An were lying face to face. They were too close, and she could even feel the warm breath from Chu An’s nose..
