Chapter 45: You’re Very Young As Expected; Problem With The Waist

Yun Jianyue woke up. To put it more accurately…she woke up from hunger.

Drowsy-eyed, she looked at the environment around her. It felt unfamiliar, but also with a hint of familiarity.

She pulled the blanket away and got down from the bed. She walked out of the lounge and saw a few people drinking with Gu Zhishen while sitting on the sofa. It wasn’t just Gong Lanran. Yu Jinjiu, Mo Boqing, and even Gu Anyang were there.

Gu Anyang saw her and immediately ran over with a bright smile. “Sister-in-law, you’re awake! I’m really sorry about last time. It’s not that I don’t like you, so please don’t misunderstand!”

Yun Jianyue shook her head and smiled slightly to indicate it was fine. Her sights turned to Gu Zhishen. What exactly was going on?!

Why did she fall asleep?

And where was Zhu Jingyi?

Gu Zhishen left his brothers behind and came in front of her. His eyes lowered to stare at her, “Hungry?”

Yun Jianyue’s brain still hadn’t woken up, and she only just nodded instinctively.

Gu Zhishen made an expression toward Yu Jinjiu, and Yu Jinjiu understood. He took out his phone and phoned the manager to arrange it.

He took Yun Jianyue’s arm and walked toward the restaurant. Yun Jianyue finally came to her senses and asked, “Where’s Zhu Jingyi?”

“Cheng Yufei already sent her back.”

Yun Jianyue heard him and stopped worrying. Cheng Yufei was Gu Zhishen’s most trusted assistant. Probably nothing would probably happen to Jingyi with him sending her back!

The manager set up the arrangement very quickly. A server immediately pushed a dining cart over to deliver exquisite and delicious food.

The people who weren’t hungry in the first place also gathered over at the dining table. Gong Lanran even more energetically went over to sit next to Yun Jianyue. He was beaming as he looked at her. “Sister-in-law, you don’t look like you are high in age!”

“My nominal age is 24.” Yun Jianyue never felt a woman’s age was a secret that couldn’t be said. She told him very naturally.

Gong Lanran’s phoenix eyes were stunned. “You’re very young, as expected!” He turned his gaze to Gu Zhishen as if saying, You’re robbing the cradle!

Yun Jianyue didn’t notice the knife glittering and the sword flashing between him and Gu Zhishen. She smiled, “I can’t be considered young. My classmate already married and had a child this year.”

“Aren’t you also married? Giving birth is just the problem of a certain someone’s waist strength!” Gong Lanran winked and sent Gu Zhishen a flirtatious glance.

Gu Zhishen ignored it and then looked at Yun Jianyue. He pondered, Does she want to have a child?

Yun Jianyue didn’t understand what he meant and asked curiously, “What do you mean a problem of a certain someone’s waist?”

Yu Jinjiu had been watching the commotion from the side, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s—”

Before he could finish, he was cut off by Gu Zhishen, “Third!”

A cold glance shot toward him, and it was full of warning.

Yu Jinjiu understood Eldest Brother was shielding sister-in-law and didn’t want her to be corrupted. He laughed a vague laugh and didn’t say anything anymore.

Gu Anyang sat beside Mo Boqing. She was focused on getting Mo Boqing to get food for her and didn’t notice their conversation.

Yun Jianyue turned her head toward Gu Zhishen. She found it strange that he didn’t let Yu Jinjiu finish speaking.

Gu Zhishen distributed food to her and said softly with an attractive voice, “Aren’t you hungry? Quickly eat.”

Yun Jianyue saw he wasn’t going to say it, so she didn’t ask. Moreover, she was indeed very hungry. She focused on eating, and those things were very quickly pushed to the back of her mind.

Gong Lanran attempted to worm his way into becoming friends with Yun Jianyue, but he was stopped every time by Gu Zhishen’s gaze. The warning was self-evident. In the end, he had no choice but to drop it!

He never would’ve thought there would come a day where Gu Zhishen would be so protective of his wife!

After the meal, Yun Jianyue suddenly thought of a question and asked, “What time is it right now?”

“One in the morning!” Gu Anyang looked at the watch on Mo Boqing’s wrist. She’d given this to him. When she saw Mo Boqing wearing it, she smiled extremely sweetly.

Yun Jianyue immediately stood up from the chair and almost knocked into the table. Fortunately, Gu Zhishen was there to protect her.

“I’m done for, I’m done for…My mother will definitely be angry that I haven’t gone home!”

Her panicked voice was even trembling. She turned around and was about to leave!

Gu Zhishen grabbed her wrist and his deep voice rang out. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll send you.”

How could Yun Jianyue possibly not be anxious?

Chen Xiaoxiao was very strict and didn’t allow her to stay out overnight. If she wasn’t going to be at home until after 11, she needed to call and report it in advance. She overslept here today and didn’t go back even after 12. She also didn’t call her mother. She would definitely be very angry.

Yun Jianyue said goodbye to Gong Lanran and the others and got in the car in a hurry. Gu Zhishen ordered Xu Shi to start the car.

Gong Lanran, Yu Jinjiu, and the entire crowd stood to the side. Their eyes followed the departing car until it disappeared from their sight.

Just as they turned around and were about to go in, Gong Lanran suddenly said a strange sentence, “Do you guys think it could be considered that Gu Zhishen had forgotten about her?”

Yu Jinjiu and Mo Boqing stopped walking together without agreeing to do so beforehand. They looked at each other and no one spoke.

Even the smile on Gu Anyang’s face gradually faded.

The car sped along the empty road. Yun Jianyue switched on her cell phone and saw two missed calls. One came from the house’s landline, one came from her mother.

Just as Yun Jianyue planned on calling back, Gu Zhishen stopped her.

“It’s too late at night. They’ll be resting. If you call them, it’ll disturb their rest.”

Yun Jianyue thought about it and that seemed to be so. She gave up and turned her head to look out the car window. She suddenly felt something was wrong. “This doesn’t seem like the road back to my home, right?”

“This is the road back to Jia Yuan!” Gu Zhishen answered.

Yun Jianyue’s dark pupils suddenly widened. “Why are we going to Jia Yuan? Aren’t we going back to my house?”

“Isn’t Jia Yuan your house?”

Gu Zhishen’s words had two layers of meaning. Since Yun Jianyue married him, his house would naturally be her house, so Jia Yuan would also be her house!

“I don’t want to go to Jia Yuan. I want to go home!” Yun Jianyue said to the driving Xu Shi. “Quickly change directions or stop the car and let me out. I’ll get a taxi by myself and go back!”

How could Xu Shi possibly listen to her? He acted as if he didn’t hear her and continued driving the car.

Yun Jianyue became anxious. She leaned over to pull Xu Shi’s arm.

With swift eyes and quick hands, Gu Zhishen took her into his embrace. His sharp eyebrows tightened slightly and he said with his deep voice, “Dangerous!”

“I want to go home!” Yun Jianyue lifted her head to look at him. She was angry and anxious. “If I don’t go home, my mom will get angry. It’ll be the type of anger that’s really extreme!”

Gu Zhishen tightened both of his strong, slender arms. “She’d definitely call Zhu Jingyi’s phone if she couldn’t get through to your phone. I already told her to say you’re staying with her tonight. How could you explain it if you go back now?”

Yun Jianyue stared at him suspiciously. “You already told Jingyi?”

Gu Zhishen nodded.

Yun Jianyue sighed secretly. If it was Jingyi, her mother would probably believe it!

But it was just…

Her small eyes aimed toward Gu Zhishen. “It can’t be that you planned this in advance, can it?”

Gu Zhishen’s face was full of awe-inspiring righteousness. He raised his eyebrows, “Don’t you slander me. The person who fell asleep while being kissed…”

“Don’t say it!” Yun Jianyue knew what he wanted to say and immediately covered his mouth, not letting him finish.

Xu Shi was also in the car. How embarrassing would it be if people knew she fell asleep while getting kissed!

Gu Zhishen caught a glimpse of a row of redness on her cheeks through the dark, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but tick up.

Yun Jianyue came to Jia Yuan for a second time and she was washing up in the bathroom. Her heart started to get unsettled for some strange reason.
