Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath. The sudden appearance of a man in her room was already shocking, let alone that this man was Pei Jinting.
His sour question caught Gu Qingyuan by surprise.
She pushed the man but didn't push him.
She had no choice but to retreat. Even if she turned her head, the warm breath still entangled her.
The hands around her waist were almost crushing her.
This feeling reminded her of the past and made her mouth feel dry.
There was a voice deep in her heart telling her that these thoughts were wrong.
She licked her dry lips,
"I'm fine. Cousin, please go back."
Qin Rongjun stood outside the door and took back his hand to push the door open.
He recalled the sound that sounded like breaking porcelain just now, and when he replied, Gu Qingyuan's breath seemed a little unstable.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Although he took his hand back, his steps never moved away.
Inside the door, Gu Qingyuan put her hand on Pei Jinting's chest and called, "Jingheng..."
The thin tone sounded pitiful and pitiful, with countless prayers.
It was hard to refuse her request.
She lowered her eyelashes and pressed her lips against the corner of his lips, "Let me go first, my cousin is outside."
Pei Jinting chuckled, moved the hand that was lifting her chin away, and supported it on the wall behind her. The hand that held her waist tightened. Even though her clothes were getting thicker in autumn, she still felt the burning heat.
He pressed against her so wantonly, and his hot breath fell on her ear.
"Tell me, which brother of yours is your husband... hmm? Where do you put your husband?"
The man's voice was lazy and low, like a hook, filling Gu Qingyuan's clear eyes with panic.
She raised her hand to cover his lips to prevent him from making any sound.
She didn't understand how Pei Jinting sneaked into the Qin family's inner courtyard quietly.
Why did he come again? They had already made it clear that day in front of Tantuo Temple and ended everything.
At that time, he said the words "You go ahead." with ruthlessness and determination.
Pei Jinting's mouth was covered and she didn't resist. Instead, she moved her lips and pecked her palm.
Gu Qingyuan's scalp was numb, her eyes widened as if they were set on fire, and she suddenly retracted her hand, not daring to look at the smile in Pei Jinting's eyes.
"Ayuan...I forgot about it just now. I heard that you were coming, so I bought some small items for you when I returned home..."
Outside the door, Qin Rongjun's clear voice sounded again, "Can you come out and get it?"
The last lingering sound was tentative.
Pei Jinting held her waist and leaned against the wall with half of his body pressed against hers, smiling half-heartedly.
"Ayuan...small objects...Gu Yuanyuan, what kind of small objects do you like?"
He bit down on the delicate ear pearl with his teeth viciously.
Gu Qingyuan felt pain, and the next moment she saw his thin lips slightly parted, as if he was going to fiddle with the bead curtain hanging next to Duobao Pavilion.
She quickly took his hand and said, "Cousin, thank you for the gift. It's just that I'm feeling a little unwell right now. Maybe I'm not used to the climate. Why don't I go to Shofengyuan to get it tomorrow, okay?"
This means that Qin Rongjun should go back first.
But words like this made Qin Rongjun even more confused.
She didn't know what was going on inside. Her voice was a little fuzzy than before, with a vibrato.
Injured by stepping on debris?
But why don't you want him to know?
Qin Rongjun rubbed his eyebrows. He did have gadgets on him, but they were given to others, just to test them out.
But I didn't expect that my cousin would refuse even this.
He pushed the door tentatively, but it was not locked. With a slight push, it pushed open a crack and made a squeaking sound.
"cousin?"
He placed his hand on the door and seemed to see broken pieces of porcelain on the ground, but he did not see his cousin.
The only sound that could be heard was the friction of the fabric inside.
Qin Rongjun frowned slightly, the tips of his ears turned red, and he backed away slightly.
My cousin may want to take a rest.
He waited for a while, and when he saw that Gu Qingyuan showed no sign of coming out, he grabbed the door knocker and gently closed the door.
He lifted his feet and left.
Since his cousin wanted to rest, it was just right for him to go back and prepare another small gift.
Hearing the door creaking again, Gu Qingyuan slightly loosened her grip on Pei Jinting's clothes, and a small drop of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
"Pei Jingheng, why are you here?"
she asked almost inaudibly.
Pei Jinting rubbed the waist of the person in her arms fiercely, then slowly let go, walked slowly to the table, sat on the chair, and spread her legs slightly.
He raised his hand to pour himself a cup of cold tea and drank it in one gulp.
Looking lazily at the girl in front of him, half-smiling but not smiling,
"What's the matter? My son came at a bad time? Is it preventing you and your cousin from visiting your cousin?"
He put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes flickered,
"If you don't come, I'm afraid you will be eaten alive."
"Gu Yuanyuan. You are really getting better and better as you live. Any cat or dog in the Qin family can scold you."
Gu Qingyuan paused and suddenly felt something was wrong.
How did he know that someone was scolding her? She suddenly thought of Qin Lu's inexplicable kneeling in the garden.
This person has come to the Qin family a long time ago and is hiding in the dark?
She pursed her lips and said, "Does Your Majesty know that you are leaving the capital? Has everything been sorted out?"
"Absolutely. Your Majesty naturally knows about it. Gu Yuanyuan..."
Pei Jinting had no scruples,
"Your Majesty has completely wiped out my position in this young master's job, and I have lost my salary. From now on, I have to ask you to take care of me..."
His eyes, illuminated by the light and shadow outside, became radiant, and he had a lazy aura, just like a wandering man.
It seems that there is no position or salary anymore, and being taken in by others is a matter of pride.
Gu Qingyuan knew that he clearly came after her specially.
He obviously wanted to end the relationship between the two of them, but how could he end it with such entanglement.
She turned away, wanting to drive him away cruelly, but she was so upset that her words changed their taste.
"You can even sneak into someone's house, but you still can't live a good life."
"What are you going to say when you suddenly show up at the Qin family like this? You... came alone? How about you stay at an inn?"
Pei Jinting put down the tea cup in his hand and sneered,
"You didn't let Li Yi stay at the inn either. I'll stay wherever he stays."
"You have so many guards accompanying you, so I will pretend to be your guard. It's not like I haven't pretended to be one before..."
He spoke calmly, but Gu Qingyuan's face turned slightly red.
This person was talking about how he climbed over the wall and entered her house last time at the Zhenguo Palace.
Only that time he entered directly into the curtain.
Pei Jinting looked at Gu Qingyuan's reddish cheeks lazily, with a smile on his lips.
"What? Are you very excited to be the bodyguard who allows you to do whatever you want?"
Gu Qingyuan understood what he said, her cheeks turned red immediately, she threw the handkerchief on his face, lowered her voice and shouted,
"Are there any guards like you?"
Pei Jinting walked up to her, held her thin wrist tightly, and his romantic breath was like a hook, "Master, tell me how to be a bodyguard?"
