An Rui did not know what was wrong with her. There was an emotion in her heart that made her very uncomfortable.
But she did not know what this emotion was.
She got up slowly, wanting to take a bath when there was a knock on the door.
An Rui looked out through the peephole and saw Zhou Li standing outside with a glass cup.
An Rui furrowed her eyebrows, ignoring him.
But a few seconds later, she opened the door.
“Dr Zhou, what’s the matter?” Her expression was cold and it was obvious that she did not want to talk to him anymore.
Zhou Li did not know how he had offended An Rui. Looking at her slightly drunk eyes, he handed her the glass. “There’s honey water inside. Your head won’t hurt so much after drinking it tomorrow morning.”
An Rui raised her hand and waved it.
The glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The crisp sound froze the atmosphere around them.
An Rui herself was shocked.
What was she doing just now?
Why was he suddenly so angry at Zhou Li?
An Rui looked at the man who pursed his lips and glanced at her before squatting down to pick up the glass shards on the ground. She took a step forward and stared at the top of his head. “Dr Zhou, are you so good to all girls?”
Zhou Li’s thin and smooth chin was slightly clenched. “If you feel disturbed, I will keep a distance from you in the future.”
He got up and threw the shards into the rubbish bin.
Looking at his back as he turned and walked towards the apartment opposite, An Rui felt a lump in her throat and the hands hanging by her sides clenched into fists. “Isn’t it? Your female colleague, Chen Qian, knocked on your door that night after drinking too much. You didn’t return after going out with her!”
“You look like a gentleman, but what’s the difference between you and Shen Mingxiu?”
An Rui knew that she should not say this to him. They were only classmates. He was a single man and it was none of her business which woman he was close to. What right did she have to question him?
But there was anger in her heart and she felt uncomfortable if she did not spit it out.
Zhou Li turned around and looked at An Rui, whose eyes were red and there was anger on her face. His face was tense, but he still explained gently, “After sending Chen Qing back that night, I received a call from the hospital. There was a car accident patient who needed me to go for the surgery and it only ended the next morning.”
An Rui was speechless.
There was a trace of awkwardness in the stiff air.
An Rui looked down, wanting to find a hole to crawl into.
But a moment later, she looked up at him.
She did not know if it was because she had drunk, but her gaze was straight and did not avoid it. Zhou Li’s palms were sweating from her gaze.
Under her calm and calm appearance, her heart was beating unusually fast.
An Rui did not speak for a long time and Zhou Li did not say anything either. Their eyes met and the air was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
An Rui looked at his well-defined handsome face. She did not know if it was because he was at home, but he was not wearing his glasses. His inner eyes were slender, his nose tall, and his slightly pursed lips looked thin and soft.
An Rui walked towards him.
The distance between them closed and Zhou Li’s face tensed. “An Rui, you drank too much. Go and rest early…”
Before he could finish, An Rui had already stood on tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips.
A faint fragrance mixed with the smell of red wine floated into his nose, followed by the girl’s soft lips. When it landed on the corner of his lips, he froze.
Her thoughts seemed to have been sucked away by something. Her mind was blank and her body was as stiff as a statue.
An Rui moved away very quickly and it was a light kiss.
She was no less nervous and panicked than Zhou Li.
She did not know what she was doing at all. When she regained consciousness, her face was already red.
It was only a few seconds, but it felt like a century had passed.
An Rui looked at the motionless man with no reaction and felt embarrassed and wronged.
He must hate her now, right?
She was starting to hate herself!
How could she do such a thing to him?
An Rui covered her burning face and did not dare to look at him again. She turned and ran toward the apartment.
After closing the door, she ran back to the bedroom.
She lay on the bed and hit the pillow hard.
Their originally innocent relationship as classmates had turned awkward because of her!
An Rui wanted to beat herself to death!
….
After sending off the last guest, it was already ten in the evening.
Ye Tian had been wearing high heels for the entire day and her feet felt like they were going to be crippled.
Before getting engaged to Gu Yang, Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan had changed one of the palaces in Crown Palace to the Princess’s palace.
Although Xu Wei and Gu Yang had bought a villa outside, Ye Tian did not want to leave Crown Palace for the time being. After discussing with Gu Yang, they decided to stay in the Princess’s palace for the time being before they got married.
Xu Wei had no objections. In recent years, her relationship with Gu Yang had eased a little, all thanks to Ye Tian. If she had not mediated the relationship between the mother and son, Gu Yang might not have called her ‘Mom’ until she died.
Back at the Princess’s palace, Ye Tian sat on the sofa, pouting. “It’s already so tiring to get engaged. I think it’ll be even more tiring to wait for the wedding day.”
But she was tired and happy.
Ye Tian looked at the diamond ring on her middle finger and smiled sweetly.
Gu Yang walked over. He had taken off his suit jacket and was wearing a tailored white shirt. On the way back, he had pulled off his tie and tied it loosely. He was cold, handsome, and slightly lazy.
It had been eight years since they met and fell in love.
Even though it had been so many years, she was still as sweet and happy with him as before.
Gu Yang sat on the sofa and placed Ye Tian’s fair legs on him.
“Does your leg hurt a lot?” His slender fingers held her slender and fair foot and rubbed it for her.
Ye Tian wanted to pull back, but he held on tightly.
“I’ll massage it for you. It won’t hurt so much later.”
Ye Tian’s long eyelashes fluttered and looking at his well-defined facial features, her heart fluttered.
“Gu Yang.”
Hearing her call him, Gu Yang looked up, her dark eyes landing on her sweet face. “Hm?”
“You won’t have the chance to regret after tonight.”
He naturally understood what she meant.
He had waited for so many years for tonight.
Besides, after he got together with her, he had never thought of going back on his words or breaking up with her!
“I won’t, but I’m afraid you will.”
Hearing this, Ye Tian could not help but jump into his arms and hug his neck, smelling the fresh and pleasant scent on him. “I love you, Gu Yang.”
She had only told him once that she liked him. She had never said that she loved him.
But now, she had said it.
With her personality, she definitely loved him to the core to say those words to him.
Gu Yang’s eyes turned red and she held Ye Tian’s hand, interlocking their fingers.
