Chapter 2296: Su the Beauty: Master Zhi, Restrain Yourself

When Ling Wanrong heard this, her eyes flickered. Just as she was wondering what excuse she could use to go to Haicheng to look for Gu Zhiqi, she heard Gu Zhiqi speak first, "My third sister seems to have some psychological issues. Can you come see her when you have time?"

Ling Wanrong agreed on the spot, "I can! I’ll come tomorrow!"

Gu Zhiqi raised a brow. "No need to be that rushed. You can come after you’re done with things over there."

"I’m done. I finished everything here a long time ago." Ling Wanrong’s tone was extremely excited. "If you’d called a bit later, I’d already be back in the Ancient Martial Arts World."

After listening, Gu Zhiqi said nothing more.

After ending the call with Ling Wanrong, Gu Zhiqi started wondering whether to continue watching her drama.

But since her human-shaped pillow was gone, Gu Zhiqi felt a little unused to it, so she took her phone and headed out.

When Su Yunling’s door was knocked on, he had just finished showering. He was only wearing a bathrobe, and even his hair was still wet.

Not sure who was outside, Su Yunling tugged his half-open bathrobe tighter, then walked to the door and opened it.

When he saw who was standing outside, Su Yunling silently let go of the hand clutching his lapel.

As his hand dropped away, half his chest was suddenly exposed.

Because he’d just showered, he looked very fresh and dewy. His damp hair was casually brushed back, several drops of water sliding from the strands, down his neck, then over his chest, finally disappearing into the bathrobe.

Gu Zhiqi’s gaze landed on Su Yunling’s chest, and she actually watched each droplet of water one by one as they disappeared into the robe.

Su Yunling took in Gu Zhiqi’s reaction, leaning against the doorframe without saying a word, just looking at her like that.

In the end, unable to take her straightforward stare anymore, he had to clear his throat lightly and speak. "Master Zhi, rein it in a little."

Gu Zhiqi came back to herself and lifted her eyes to look at Su Yunling, with absolutely no intention of reining anything in. "I’m not your boyfriend, so I can’t look?"

Su Yunling: "..."

He clicked his tongue inwardly, then let out a helpless little laugh. "You can, why couldn’t you? I just can’t handle it."

Gu Zhiqi took a step forward, moving closer to Su Yunling.

Su Yunling lowered his eyes to look at her, staring at her for a few seconds, then bent down and quickly pecked her on the lips.

After the kiss, he looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Zhiqi stepped forward again, reached out to wrap her arms around Su Yunling’s waist, and tilted her head up to look at him. "I want to steal your bed."

Su Yunling’s body paused for a moment, then he quickly glanced left and right. Only after confirming no one was around did he wrap an arm around Gu Zhiqi’s waist and pull her into the room.

Then he quickly closed the door.

Gu Zhiqi lounged lazily against the wall by the door, looking at him. "You’re afraid of being found out?"

Su Yunling nodded. "Of course I’m afraid. I’m afraid your third sister and aunt will see and beat me to death with sticks."

After speaking, Su Yunling finally pulled her into his arms, lowering his eyes to look at her. "I’ve been holding back for days, just worried I’d leave a bad impression on your aunt."

He’d already been staying at the Gu Family’s house for four days.

These four days, Su Yunling didn’t dare openly hug Gu Zhiqi, let alone kiss her.

Terrified that Yu Shuling or Gu Yuluo would think he was frivolous and refuse to let him be with Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist in return. "Then I’ll come find you in secret from now on?"

Su Yunling paused slightly, his eyes shifting. "You’ll still come tomorrow?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded.

"What’s wrong, you’re not used to sleeping alone?" Su Yunling said, lifting Gu Zhiqi’s hand to his lips and kissing it.

"No." Gu Zhiqi refused to admit it.

"But I’m not used to it." As Su Yunling spoke, he lifted her up a bit, scooped her into a bridal carry, and headed for the bed.
