Chapter 281: Taking the Initiative to Call Him Husband

“Yifan, Yifan…?”

Just then, Su Qinghe’s voice called out from the room.

Hearing her, Gu Yifan casually stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

“Yeah~”

“Su Hanhan, what’s wrong?”

Gu Yifan said as he opened the bedroom door.

“Where did you just go?”

Su Qinghe asked while drying her hair with a towel.

“Uh…”

“I just went out to the hallway for a smoke.”

Gu Yifan explained.

Hearing Gu Yifan’s words, a warm feeling flooded Su Qinghe’s heart.

‘This Big Bully must have gone outside to smoke so the smell wouldn’t bother me.’

“Oh, okay…”

Su Qinghe nodded.

“Um… Hanhan, let me blow-dry your hair for you!”

Gu Yifan offered, seeing that Su Qinghe’s hair was sopping wet.

“Mhm…”

Su Qinghe gave a sweet smile and nodded.

Nowadays, whenever she washed her hair, Gu Yifan was always the one who blow-dried it for her.

She silently cherished all these little details in her heart.

‘This Big Bully is really so good to me!’

Gu Yifan walked over to a nearby cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a hairdryer.

WHIRRRR—WHIRRRR—

The sound of the hairdryer whirred to life. He tested the temperature with his hand, and once he felt it wasn’t too hot, he began to dry Su Qinghe’s hair.

After about five or six minutes…

“Su Hanhan, all done!”

Gu Yifan said with a smile, turning off the hairdryer.

“Mhm… Thanks~”

Su Qinghe said with a smile.

“Why are you being so polite?”

“Silly Hanhan~”

Gu Yifan said, gently pinching Su Qinghe’s little nose.

“Hey!~”

“You’ll make my nose bigger if you do that!”

Su Qinghe protested playfully.

“Uh…”

“Who told you that?”

“How could pinching it make it bigger?”

Gu Yifan said helplessly.

“It will!”

“I heard the villagers say it when I was little!”

Su Qinghe said, looking at Gu Yifan with a completely serious expression.

“Uh… okay!”

Hearing that, what else could Gu Yifan say?

“Well… I’m going to go take a shower.”

“You can lie in bed and watch some TV.”

“If you get sleepy, just go to sleep.”

Gu Yifan said after putting the hairdryer away.

“Mhm…”

“Go on!”

Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan took his pajamas from the closet and went to the bathroom to shower.

When he came out of the shower, Su Qinghe was still watching one of those Korean romance dramas.

‘I have no idea what’s so great about these shows. Why do all women love them? My mom loves them, and now it turns out this silly Hanhan does too!’

Gu Yifan thought, shaking his head helplessly.

“Su Hanhan, it’s getting late. You should go to bed soon.”

“We have to get up early tomorrow!”

Gu Yifan said, walking to the cabinet and picking up the hairdryer from the table.

“Okay…”

“I’ll stop watching after this part!”

Su Qinghe said coaxingly.

“Alright.”

“Let’s go to bed after I dry my hair.”

Gu Yifan said with a nod.

“Okay~”

Su Qinghe replied.

But her eyes never left the television screen.

‘Are they really that good?’

Gu Yifan wondered helplessly.

After he finished drying his hair, Gu Yifan put the hairdryer away and sat down next to Su Qinghe.

“Su Hanhan, how much longer?”

Gu Yifan asked.

“Uh… about ten more minutes!”

“I’ll stop watching right after this part!”

Su Qinghe said with great earnestness.

“Alright, then.”

“I’ll watch with you.”

Gu Yifan said.

He then slipped into bed, wrapped his arms around Su Qinghe, and the two of them watched the Korean romance drama together.

After watching for a while, Gu Yifan realized he had absolutely no interest in this stuff.

Now, if it were an action… film from Sakura Country, that would be a different story!

But this? No thanks.

Soon, ten minutes had passed.

The episode was over.

“Alright!”

“I’m done watching. Let’s get some rest.”

Su Qinghe was true to her word. The moment the episode ended, she announced she was done watching.

“Okay~”

Gu Yifan picked up the remote and turned off the TV.

CLICK.

He reached out and switched off the bedroom light.

Only the two small bedside lamps were left on.

Then, the two of them went to sleep…

That night, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe had the exact same dream.

In the dream, they got married after graduating from college and had two adorable little babies.

Tired of city life, the family of four moved to a village in the countryside, living a simple, happy, and blissful life, working from sunrise to sunset.

As they slept, faint smiles crept onto the corners of both Gu Yifan’s and Su Qinghe’s lips…

The night passed peacefully.

「The next morning」

The faint morning light streamed through the glass window, casting slanted rays onto the bed.

RING-RING—RING-RING—

A phone alarm rang. Gu Yifan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still a little hazy, clearly not fully awake yet.

He rubbed his eyes, which helped him wake up a bit more. Reaching over to the bedside table, he grabbed his fully charged phone and casually turned off the alarm.

After another moment, Gu Yifan’s mind was completely clear. He lifted his phone to check the time on the screen and saw that it was already six-thirty in the morning.

He glanced beside him and saw that Su Qinghe was still sound asleep.

Knowing Su Qinghe was exhausted from the night before, Gu Yifan didn’t plan on waking her. He tiptoed out of bed to wash up and make breakfast first.

When he returned to the room after making breakfast, he found that the little sleepyhead, Su Qinghe, was still fast asleep!

A wave of tenderness washed over Gu Yifan as he watched her sleep.

He walked to the side of the bed and gently tucked a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear.

Then, he placed a light kiss on her forehead.

“Su Hanhan, time to get up and eat breakfast.”

Gu Yifan said softly.

“Mhm…”

Su Qinghe mumbled an answer, but showed no signs of getting up.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yifan shook his head helplessly.

He then turned, left the room, and placed the breakfast on the dining table.

About ten minutes later, Su Qinghe finally emerged from the room.

“Hanhan, hurry up and wash your face so we can eat breakfast!”

Gu Yifan said with a smile when he saw her.

“Mhm.”

Su Qinghe nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Soon, the two of them were sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast.

“H-Hubby… this breakfast you made is delicious!”

For the first time in ages, Su Qinghe had taken the initiative to call Gu Yifan “hubby,” praising him as she ate.

“You silly girl, I’m just glad you like it.”

Hearing this, Gu Yifan smiled and said, “It’s getting late. Finish up quickly so we can head out!”

“Mhm~”

Su Qinghe gave a sweet smile and nodded enthusiastically.

A little while later, as they were getting ready to leave, Su Qinghe suddenly looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Hm?”

Gu Yifan noticed something was off and asked, “Su Hanhan, what’s wrong?”
