CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: SCOUNDREL

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

Gu Ningyue was trapped in Ling Tianyou’s arms, his arms were like iron hoops, locking her tightly.

She took a deep breath and held back, saying, "Let’s talk about it nicely, can you let me go first?"

If it weren’t for the fact that he was drunk, she would have punched him to the West Heaven.

"No way! Stay here with me."

He was so nice to her, and she actually called him President Ling? He was a bit upset and bit her earlobe.

"Ah~ Are you a dog?" Gu Ningyue looked up, glaring at Ling Tianyou, "You’re drunk, go to sleep!"

Ling Tianyou curled his lips, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, "What did you just call me, say it again?"

Gu Ningyue: "...Tianyou."

Drunk Ling Tianyou, why is he so clingy!

Ling Tianyou was not satisfied, "That doesn’t sound good, change it."

"Change to what?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Ling Tianyou looked into her eyes, "Call me hubby."

Gu Ningyue glared at him, "We’re not even married yet!"

Ling Tianyou took a hard breath on her face, "Are you going to call me or not?"

Gu Ningyue: ??? How can a person completely change after getting drunk?

"...No!"

She struggled a couple of times, but Ling Tianyou somehow mustered the strength to lock her tightly.

Gu Ningyue suddenly felt helpless, her body was too weak! Trying to break free without hurting Ling Tianyou was impossible now.

"Really not going to call me?" Ling Tianyou’s eyes were deep, like a black hole about to swallow her, "Why not? Haven’t I given you what you wanted? Hmm?"

The voice seemed to carry some magic, instantly letting Gu Ningyue feel his disappointment and sadness.

For so long, Ling Tianyou indeed treated her very well.

Well, just a title, why bother with a drunkard?

"Hubby," Gu Ningyue called softly, like coaxing a child, "Can you sleep well now?"

Ling Tianyou’s lips curled into a smile, "Okay, you stay with me."

Gu Ningyue: "Ling Tianyou, don’t push your luck!"

This face of Ling Tianyou’s that could charm the world today really hardened her, her fists hardening as well.

Ling Tianyou moved her onto the bed, his voice so gentle it could melt bones, "I won’t do anything, let me hold you, okay? I’m very tired lately..."

Gu Ningyue was half-convinced, "Really?"

Ling Tianyou nodded eagerly, "Won’t go back on my word."

Gu Ningyue asked again, "Just this once?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, burying his head in her neck, sneaking a smile.

Gu Ningyue struggled a couple more times, but found that Ling Tianyou’s strength was much more than she imagined.

Beside her ear came the sound of Ling Tianyou’s even breathing, and Gu Ningyue simply gave up struggling.

Forget it, it’s already so late, just this once!

"I won’t go, can I at least change to a more comfortable position?"

For a long while, no one answered, and Gu Ningyue sighed, it seemed she would have to stay in this position all night.

The long night, for the first time, Gu Ningyue felt what it’s like to be powerless...

The next morning, Gu Ningyue woke up in the dim light.

Her hand was wrapped around Ling Tianyou’s waist, her whole body nestled in his arms.

Ling Tianyou had woken up at some point and was looking at her with a smile, "Good morning."

Gu Ningyue suddenly woke up, wanting to break free from his arms, but Ling Tianyou suddenly pressed down on the hand she had on his waist, "What’s wrong? After holding me all night, now you want to leave?"

"No, no!" Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, turning her eyes and thinking of a reason, "I just want to go to the bathroom."

"Oh? Really?" Ling Tianyou didn’t believe it at all, "Call me hubby and I’ll let you go."

Gu Ningyue seriously doubted that he was actually drunk last night.

"Not calling? Then you don’t really want to go, stay with me a little longer!" Ling Tianyou pulled her closer into his arms, "There’s nothing at the company today, we can go in the afternoon."

Gu Ningyue: "..." Is there really nothing or does he just want to take advantage?

Seeing her not speak, Ling Tianyou kissed the corner of her mouth, "What are you thinking? Hmm?"

Gu Ningyue: "I’m thinking about how you’ve become so unreasonable!"

As soon as she said this, Gu Ningyue stopped speaking, wondering why she had voiced her inner thoughts.

Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, "What? Disappointed?"

Gu Ningyue gritted her teeth, "Hubby, let me go! I can’t sleep."

Ling Tianyou’s smile grew wider, "Can’t sleep? Then just lie with me! I can’t sleep either!"

Gu Ningyue: "??? Didn’t you say if I called you hubby you’d let me go?"

"That was just now!" Ling Tianyou: "You know the saying, seize the opportunity before it’s gone?"

Gu Ningyue: "..." Damn capitalism, one day she’ll overthrow such evil forces!

Finally, at nine in the morning after being forced to lie in Ling Tianyou’s arms, Ling Tianyou reluctantly got up after a phone call, "I have to go to the company later, you come with me."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t believe it as she sat up, "Going with you, isn’t this inappropriate?"

Ling Tianyou got up, slowly unbuttoning the shirt he wore all night, "Nothing inappropriate, go get changed!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, catching a glimpse of Ling Tianyou’s eight-pack abs just outside the door.

Is Ling Tianyou’s body that good?

Aunt Zhang saw Gu Ningyue come out of Ling Tianyou’s room with wild hair, and immediately showed a maternal smile, "Young Madam must be tired? I’ve made chicken soup to replenish you."

Gu Ningyue: "??? Aunt Zhang, it’s not what you think."

With that, Aunt Zhang laughed even more brightly, "Young Madam, don’t be shy. I understand, it’s nothing!"

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Watching Aunt Zhang’s leaving back, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt life was not worth it, really not worth it.

Returning to her room, Gu Ningyue took a simple hot shower, then changed out of her alcohol-scented clothes before heading to the living room again.

"When are we leaving?"

Ling Tianyou, sitting on the sofa, glanced at her with wet hair, "No rush, let’s have breakfast first!"

Although his gaze no longer held the daze of last night, it still contained lingering desire when he looked at her.

Her face flushed, and she turned back to her room.

After eating, Ling Tianyou drove Gu Ningyue to the company.

"Is there something wrong at the company? Why are you taking me there?"

"A friend of mine is returning home today. I’m meeting them at the company."

"Is it Chen Rui?"

"No, you know her?"

"I’ve heard a little."

"Oh? What have you heard?"

"Nothing much, just the usual childhood sweetheart stuff! Haha..."

"You’re smiling so stiffly! What are you concerned about?"

"I’m not, don’t talk nonsense."
