Be in low spirits

The bathroom was filled with steam. Ye Fan pulled her to sit in the bathtub, grabbed her waist, kissed her earlobe, and coaxed her: "Didn't you say you can't help it?"

Although... she didn't expect to get to the point so quickly. She grabbed the sides of the bathtub, biting her lips and refusing to make a sound.

His hand moved from her waist up and across her chest, and she couldn't help but moan.

"Luoluo, are you feeling uncomfortable?" He gradually became more adept at it and tried to coax her into shouting out.

"Uh...you...lied to me..." She couldn't move. The initiative was completely in his hands. She wasn't angry at all. It was all his tricks.

The space was cramped, so Ye Fan let her go. She quickly stood up and tried to get to the other end of the bathtub, but he pulled her to sit on him, bent his knees, and made her face him. It was not known whether it was the water vapor or the love affair that caused her face to turn red, her lips to become swollen, and her eyelashes to tremble slightly.

"What did I lie to you about?" He had always been bothered by her fake marriage with Shen Zeqing, and was indeed angry with her because of her attitude just now.

Her legs were cramping and she didn't have the energy to reply to him. She just hoped he would finish quickly. Her lips were slightly parted, but she couldn't help but breathe heavily and make some sounds of lust.

"...louder your voice." Ye Fan thought that if everyone in the mansion could hear him, then everyone would know about their relationship, which would be a good thing.

"You're...hateful...uh...ah." She knew that his thoughts were not pure.

"I like listening to."

"I have a cramp." She didn't want to continue and grabbed his back, trying to make him stop.

"Go back to bed." He picked her up and held her waist, preventing her from getting off him.

Gu Jinluo couldn't move, so she could only put her legs around his waist. He stood up from the bathtub, put on his slippers, took a bath towel from the shelf and put it on her.

Every time he took a step, she would bounce and exhale some air through her nose, trying to express her dissatisfaction, but Ye Fan turned a deaf ear to her and just put her on the bed and did it again.

Ye Fan propped up his head and looked at her sleeping appearance, groping her legs under the quilt and kneading them to relieve her cramps.

When she woke up in the morning, there was no one around her. She touched the bed sheet which was still warm. It seemed that someone had just left not long ago. She sat up and shouted, "Auntie Liu!" and yawned after she finished shouting.

Aunt Liu ran to the door of the room and replied, "Miss."

"Prepare breakfast." She sat on the bed for a while, got up, changed her clothes, washed up, and went to the study to have breakfast.

The secretary handed her several invitations and documents from various places, and she started to look through the accounts again.

After meeting with several senior officials at noon, she walked to the backyard. Dr. Jiang pushed Shen Zeqing in a wheelchair and chatted in the pavilion in the backyard. Shen Zeqing seemed to be in a good mood.

"Miss, it seems that your son-in-law gets along well with Dr. Jiang." Aunt Liu followed behind him.

"Zeqing and Dr. Jiang just have the same aspirations. Love matters are not worth mentioning to them." She still hasn't figured out how to explain their marriage to outsiders. Although it's just an announcement in the newspaper, she has to think twice about how and when to do it.

"Were the two children sent back to the orphanage?"

"After sending them back, it's strange that after going back to Jinghua, they were able to talk and laugh with the children." Aunt Liu didn't know where the two children came from. She only knew that they refused to speak when they were sent back.

"The parents of those two children were accountants of the Anjiang Administrative Council. They died at the hands of the Japanese while on a mission, so Zeqing took them to an orphanage and planned to place them there first." She found a place to sit in the corridor. The children couldn't stay in the orphanage all the time, so she had to find a way to send them out. It might not be safe for them to stay in Anjiang.

Aunt Liu called the guard behind her and told him to go to the mansion and bring tea set and tea.

"What kind of job does your son-in-law do? Why does he get to know such strange people?" Aunt Liu originally thought that her son-in-law was just a teacher, but he often brought some inexplicable people into the house.

"Auntie Liu, don't ask about these things." Now, in addition to considering her marriage with Ye Fan, she also has to consider how to reduce the Gu family's business. After all, a large family and a large business will attract attention.

The servant brought tea sets and spring water, and Aunt Liu made tea for her. "Aunt Liu, have you heard of Commander Pei of Jinghua?"

Liu Ma's hands trembled as she made tea, but then they recovered and she said with a smile, "Miss, how can a commoner like me know this high-ranking official in Beijing?"

"Before his death, Second Uncle told me that Mother and Old Pei were old acquaintances. The old men in the Gu family are you and Uncle Wu. Only you were brought here by Second Uncle, and if you don't know about it, then no one in this mansion will know about it."

Aunt Liu just lowered her head to make tea and said nothing more.

Ye Fan returned to the Gu family from the garrison and went straight to the study.

Wu Bo looked at his back and still felt that this soldier was a military commander after all, and he didn't care about etiquette at all. The apprentice behind him said to him: "Master, don't you think his relationship with the young lady is not simple?"

"How can you just say anything about the young lady's affairs?" Uncle Wu warned him many times that servants should do their duties and not talk nonsense, but he kept making the same mistake.

"Master is right." The disciple behind him lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Have you received the invitation?" Gu Jinluo knew without hesitation that it must be the garrison commander inviting him to attend the banquet the day after tomorrow.

"You know?" Ye Fan picked up the tea and just drank it.

"General Xu held this banquet just after you took office. I guess he wanted to choose a son-in-law for his beautiful daughter. He had his eyes on Brother Lang before."

"You knew it from the beginning?" Ye Fan got angry when he saw her like that. She knew everything, but she wasn't jealous at all. She even called him Brother Lang. Why didn't she call him Brother Ye, Brother Fan, or Brother Xingzhi? And that Shen Zeqing, she kept calling him Zeqing on the left and my husband on the right, but she never mentioned her real husband.

"What is there about An Jiang that I don't know?" Otherwise, she wouldn't have locked herself in the study for more than ten hours every day.

"Aren't you afraid that I will really fall in love with his daughter and marry her?" Ye Fan thought that she would be more restrained after last night, but now it seems that she is still in no hurry to make him her legal wife.

"Well~ It's not impossible, but I have to get pregnant before you get married." She felt that marriage was not that important to her, but children were still very important. After all, someone had to take over the family business.

"Gu Jinluo!" Ye Fan hated her nonchalant attitude towards marriage the most, and slammed the teacup he was holding onto the table.

It was just a joke, why did he take it so seriously? Was he trying to use his anger as an excuse to get her to coax him?

"You have to go anyway, and I can't stop you. Could it be that you have fallen in love with someone else? Can I still tie you up in this Gu family garden?"

"You better!" He simply slammed the door and went back to his room.

Could it be that he was angry with the old commander at the garrison? Was he taking it out on her? There was no reason for the new general transferred from Jinghua to be angry with him.

When I went back to my room to sleep, there was no one there. It seems I can have a good sleep tonight.

Ye Fan tossed and turned in the room, unable to sleep. After he arrived in Anjiang, she became more and more confident and her attitude towards him seemed indifferent.

In a blink of an eye, it was already twelve o'clock and she still didn't come. He had no choice but to sneak to her room door and pace back and forth, hesitating whether he should knock on the door and go in.

After going back and forth several times, Gu Jinluo opened the door and was startled when she saw him. Ye Fan saw that she was barefoot and pretended to be calm and explained: "Uh, I got up to go to the bathroom."

Gu Jinluo was a little disappointed. She thought he had come to see her on purpose. "The toilet is on the left side at the end of the corridor."

She wanted to close the door, but Ye Fan blocked it with his hand and asked, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

"I... just got up to drink some water." She lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.

Ye Fan sighed, opened the door, carried her to the bed, lay down with her, hugged her and said, "If I don't look for you, you won't look for me, right?"

"How could I..." She snuggled into his arms and said softly, unable to suppress her smile.

"Then why do you want me to go to the party? And what about falling in love with someone else?"

"Because I know you won't." Lying in his arms, she felt more at ease than ever before.

Hearing this, Ye Fan calmed down and asked, "Have you drunk the ginseng soup today?"

"I've drunk it. Aunt Liu prepares it every day."

"So when are you going to make our relationship public?"

"Didn't you say to wait until the wound heals?"

"But I see he can go downstairs to eat, so why is that not good?"

"General Ye, I'm in your arms, why are you still like this?" She looked up at him, why did he always get so jealous?

"Not enough." Ye Fan lowered his head and kissed her. No matter what, he felt it was not enough.
