Seeing that Ye Qing was holding onto his phone, Gu Meng did not have time to think and her hands moved faster than her thoughts, reaching out to take his phone away.
If the Queen saw their intimate photos, it would attract unnecessary trouble.
Besides, this was where he had grown up. She was not so selfish as to let him leave his family and follow her back to the fishing village where she did not want to go back to either.
She knew how powerful the people there were.
Seeing that she was going to snatch the phone, Ye Qing raised it up. He was already a lot taller than her, so she could only jump up when he raised the phone.
The moment she jumped up, he put his phone behind him.
Realizing that he was doing it on purpose, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to push him away when he reached out his long arms and carried her up, placing her on the kitchen counter.
He leaned over and the sudden pressure made her unable to breathe properly. She turned her head to avoid his dark eyes.
He put the phone aside and lifted her chin with his slender fingers.
Their eyes met.
“Ye Qing, are you crazy?” They were still in the kitchen. What if someone came in? Did he not care about his image anymore?
Before she could finish, he leaned down and kissed her.
“Mmm.” Because she could not breathe, Gu Meng moaned and tried to push him away.
He was pushed away by her and she had just taken a breath of fresh air when he kissed her again.
The strong and charming masculine scent engulfed her.
There was silence in the air.
All of her kissing experience came from him no matter how much she hated him or blamed him.
She did not reject his kiss.
Even if he regretted it, they were still people from two different worlds. If they continued to be entangled with each other, they would only end up like moths to a flame. However, there were still ripples in his heart that should not have appeared.
“Butler, did my mother really come last night? She even made breakfast for me personally. I’m so happy!”
Hearing Little Gugu’s voice from outside, Gu Meng immediately regained her senses.
The man had no intention of letting go of her.
In her panic, Gu Meng bit the corner of his lips when he was not paying attention.
He was caught off guard by her bite and the faint taste of blood spread between their lips.
She leaned back, avoiding his kiss.
The tip of his tongue touched his chin and he chuckled softly.
Little Gugu and the butler were coming to the kitchen soon. Wouldn’t it be bad if the child and the butler saw this?
“Ye Qing! If you continue to do this, I won’t be polite anymore!” She had been controlling the strength she had used to push him away. After all, he was still injured. If she used too much strength, he would only get injured again.
Ye Qing looked up from her blushing neck, his eyes dark. “Promise me to stay in the palace for the time being.”
“Put me down first. If Little Gugu sees us, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Looking at her lively expression when she was angry, a smile flashed past his eyes.
Compared to before, she had finally regained some energy.
She was no longer cold and distant to him.
“Mommy!” Little Gugu went into the kitchen and saw Gu Meng cooking porridge in front of the kitchen counter, as well as a tall figure leaning against the refrigerator and looking at his mother with black eyes. Little Gugu widened his eyes. “Daddy, why are you here?”
Before Ye Qing could say anything, he saw the Little Gugu tilting his head. “Daddy, what’s wrong with your mouth?”
Gu Meng was stirring the porridge in the pot with a spoon when she heard Little Gugu’s words. Her fingers tightened and she quickly looked at Ye Qing. Seeing the wound on the corner of his mouth that she had bitten, she gave him a look, telling him not to tell the truth.
“I was bitten by a mosquito.”
“That mosquito is so perverted. It actually bit Daddy’s mouth.”
Gu Meng said nothing.
Ye Qing smirked. “I can even be bitten by her everyday.”
Little Gugu thought he was quite smart, but he did not understand what his father meant. He scratched his head. “Daddy, you actually like to be bitten by mosquitoes?”
Gu Meng did not dare to listen to their conversation anymore. She looked at Little Gugu and changed the topic. “Baby, does your head still hurt?”
Little Gugu ran forward and hugged Gu Meng, his handsome face scrunched up tightly. “My head still hurts. Mommy, can you not leave? I want you to stay here with me.”
Gu Meng’s heart clenched and she replied without any hesitation, “Okay.”
Ye Qing was speechless. He wanted her to stay, but she had not agreed. But Little Gugu’s words had changed her mind so easily!
Ye Qing watched as Gu Meng, who had completely tossed him out of her mind after Little Gugu came over, left the kitchen with a dark expression.
…
Gu Meng accompanied Little Gugu for the entire day.
After Little Gugu fell asleep, Gu Meng thought of the man who had not spoken to her for almost the entire day except in the morning. She found the butler and asked, “Where’s the Third Prince?”
“His Highness is handling his work in the study and will be returning to the hospital later.”
Gu Meng nodded. “I have something to tell him.”
“His Highness isn’t too happy today. If you go and find him, his mood should be better.”
Gu Meng heated a glass of milk and brought it upstairs.
