In the previous lifetime, he would bring her out whenever he had the time. She loved to follow him around then.
But after their rebirth, society was not as open as before, and they had to be careful with everything they did due to taboos. After she went abroad, both of them were separated, and there was no opportunity for him to bring her out to play.
Truth to be told, they had not gone on an official date after so many years in this second lifetime.
Gu Qingyao thought for a moment and grabbed his arm. “Accompany me to shop and then… I want to eat ice cream, desserts and a candlelight dinner. Then… send me home when I am tired.”
These seem to be things that young couples in love like to do, right?
Gu Qingyao beamed at him. “And in the future, wait for me to finish my classes every day, accompany me to have my meals in the canteen, help me to save a seat in the library… and… and…
“Ah… Just these things first. I will add more when I recall them in the future. Anyway, let’s go shopping first for now. And… you shall pay for the items that I buy. Afterward, we can have a candlelight dinner before heading home.”
Mo Beihan was delighted. The corners of his lips curved up unknowingly as he looked at Gu Qingyao in all smiles. It was the first time Gu Qingyao saw such a smile from Mo Beihan – he looked very handsome and a little mischievous!
Anyway, it was the kind of electrifying smile that dazzled her and made her mind drift.
Before she could return to her senses, Mo Beihan suddenly leaned in toward her and said, “Sure. I’ll do whatever you say. Uh… After we reach home… what should we do?”
Gu Qingyao was startled. She had not realized what he was saying at first, but looking at that evidently ill-intentioned smile, her face flushed immediately!
Looking at her reddened face and the blush that swiftly extended to her ears and neck, Mo Beihan’s smile deepened. He inched closer to her uncontrollably, such that she could feel his breath on her face. As he spoke, the slight movement of his lips could touch her anytime!
“What’s wrong? Why are you blushing?”
Scumbag!
Gu Qingyao glared at him. This fellow was doing it on purpose.
She pushed him away angrily and turned around to get out of the car.
The moment her hand reached the car door, Mo Beihan pulled her back. He leaned over again to trap her between himself and the car seat. “What’s wrong? Why are you running away?”
“Who’s running away?” Gu Qingyao retorted, refusing to be outdone.
Her flushed cheeks and nervous expression made her look like a young lady who just started dating. Mo Beihan was amused yet at the same time a little upset.
She already knew him so well and had even given herself to him, but she was still so shy. Ultimately, it was because he was not doing well enough as a boyfriend.
Mo Beihan reached his hands out and hugged her.
Gu Qingyao was shocked, but when she came around, Mo Beihan had already returned to his original seat while she was sitting on his lap and laying in his arms.
Mo Beihan hugged her and asked, “Yao Yao, do you… blame me?”
Gu Qingyao froze. “What?”
Mo Beihan sighed and asked, “I once promised you that I will not do anything to you before we get married. That day… was all my fault!”
Gu Qingyao did not expect him to say such things and only realized why he said that after thinking for a while.
Uneasiness crept onto her face. How embarrassing!
“I do not blame you. Just now… I… I have not been teased by you before! When you did it suddenly… of course I would be shy!
“We have already reached this stage. If I still fuss about that, it would be too melodramatic!”
