CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 236 OUTBURST 2

"Why haven’t you had lunch yet?" Gu Qingchen said, "You sent Auntie Wu back to the countryside, but you seem to be getting lazier!"

Bei Ran still focused intently on her painting, ignoring whatever he was saying beside her.

With a hint of anger, Gu Qingchen took the paintbrush from her hand, "Bei Ran, did you not hear me speaking?"

Bei Ran stood up at this moment, looking at him indifferently, "What’s wrong? Why are you angry?"

Her figure was bathed in a patch of elegant sunlight.

Her hair casually draped behind her, embodying a languid aura in the afternoon sun.

Her large eyes, like tranquil waters, clear and transparent, gazed at him.

"I hope you take good care of yourself!" Gu Qingchen said sternly.

Bei Ran stared at him, "I am fine. It’s you who’s getting angry for no reason."

Gu Qingchen looked at her delicate skin, "Skipping meals counts as taking good care of yourself?"

"I’m here all day long, what I eat and when I eat doesn’t matter!" Bei Ran laughed softly, "I thought you were angry because I played a little trick on Ji Su!"

Gu Qingchen’s eyes were profoundly deep as he took out a cigarette and inhaled deeply, "My past with her is just that—history! Stop making wild guesses."

Wild guesses?

How could she not make wild guesses?

The video in the Ferris wheel, his intimate embrace with Ji Su, the beautiful vows and passionate romance within—it can’t just be ignored, can it?

Who was the owner of that ring in his drawer?

Storing it away so carefully, could it be anyone but the woman at the top of his heart?

Her fingers have never worn a ring he fitted for her!

She didn’t care before because her love wasn’t deep enough!

But now, when she loves, she loves fiercely!

Bei Ran stepped forward, pushing him against the wall with one hand.

Gu Qingchen was caught off guard, he hadn’t expected Bei Ran to suddenly do this!

Between his index finger and thumb, he still held a cigarette as his tall frame "banged" against the wall.

"What are you doing?" he frowned.

Without a word, Bei Ran took the paint and splashed it onto his hand. The swirling smoke was instantly extinguished, and his usually clean hand was now stained with red and green paint.

"Bei Ran—" Gu Qingchen was genuinely angry!

Yet Bei Ran appeared to laugh heartily and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped..."

He hadn’t come back for so many days, and when he finally does, he’s angry at her!

Why should she tolerate it?

Bei Ran took a towel, "Let me wipe that off for you!"

But she only spread the paint further, eventually staining his sleeve.

"Ah, it seems it won’t come off!" Bei Ran sighed regretfully, "How about taking a bath?"

Anger was etched in every feature of Gu Qingchen’s face as his sharp eyes focused on her.

Bei Ran wore an innocent expression. His ex was this provocative, and he let it go just by saying it’s in the past!

So, who is really the most important person to him?

"What are you throwing a tantrum about?" Gu Qingchen frowned and asked.

"Why should I throw a tantrum?" Bei Ran said carelessly, "Here I am, living in a big villa, with two mighty bodyguards at the door to protect me. I spend my days eating to my fill, sleeping, and eating again after I wake up..."

"If you’re mad because you think I’m confining you in City A, let me tell you, don’t even think about leaving!" Gu Qingchen said sharply.

"What? After becoming President Gu, have both your actions and tone changed?" Bei Ran faced his gaze unafraid.

Gu Qingchen pulled her over, his big hand soiled with paint, gripping her slender wrist, "Yes! You’d better get used to it soon! Better not go anywhere at all!"

If she even thought about leaving by leveraging someone else’s influence, he would imprison her for a lifetime without hesitation!

"I won’t go!" Bei Ran said, "I will not just hand over my kids to another woman!"

She knew Ji Su had great ambitions. Ji Su used to feign gentle composure, loving Gu Yucheng seamlessly. Now, her true ambitious nature was exposed; she was still in love with Gu Qingchen.

No matter how grand Ji Su’s ambitions were, to Bei Ran, it was a case of meeting the enemy with resistance and covering up one’s tracks with countermeasures.

Gu Qingchen could clearly hear the implication in her words. It didn’t matter to him why she stayed; he scoffed and headed upstairs.

"Come up!" He took a few steps, and seeing that Bei Ran did not follow, he commanded.

Bei Ran followed him upstairs, and he went to the bathroom, gesturing for her to run a bath and disrobe.

She turned on the shower head, and it went straight towards him.

Gu Qingchen was drenched from head to toe!

However, she stuck out her tongue innocently – it really was not on purpose!

From the moment he entered the door until now, she had been nothing but jealous of Ji Su!

Not to mention pushing him against the wall, splashing him with paint, and spraying him with the shower – now he was physically aroused, and she was unwilling!

Bei Ran took a step back, "You can leave now!"

Examination complete, there were no traces of other women on his body!

Gu Qingchen would not let her go. He reached out, pulled her over, tore her clothes apart, "You’ve stoked the fire, and you think you can just leave? Bei Ran, what have I said? You’re the only one who’s my wife, I allow you to be jealous! But, unreasonable tantrums are not allowed!"

Bei Ran couldn’t dodge; she swung her little paws, scratching fiercely at his body, "What kind of fire extinguisher do you want? Powder or water-based?"

He pinned her against the smooth wall, feeling her skin change colors, gradually turning from snow-white to pink.

"That depends on what kind you are," he tightened his grip around her waist.

Bei Ran trembled slightly, denying it was impossible – she was playing with fire!

After playing with fire, she wanted to run away!

Why should he come back whenever he wanted and leave her here when he didn’t?

Why couldn’t she even show her temper?

She was just being petulant today – she didn’t want to give in to him!

"I don’t want to!" Bei Ran pouted unhappily.

"Then what should I do?" Gu Qingchen pressed against her, making her feel his intense desire without any gap.

Bei Ran glared at him with starry eyes: "Is this the real reason you came back?"

Gu Qingchen: "..."

As the ancients said, women and villains are the hardest to raise!

Indeed, this is true!

Look, when Bei Ran is obedient, sweet talk flows from her little mouth, intoxicating to hear.

Look, when Bei Ran makes trouble, her sharp tongue can drive him to rage.

He decided not to argue anymore and simply kissed her lips...

One hour later.

Bei Ran sat blankly in the studio, looking at the vast empty space, yet she couldn’t bring herself to paint anything.

Gu Qingchen was kissing her as dominantly as ever.

However, at this moment the phone rang.

Gu Qingchen naturally did not want to bother, but then a bodyguard came upstairs, knocked on the door: "Mr. Gu, there’s an urgent call!"

He suddenly hit the brakes, naturally reluctant.

He quickly went to the wardrobe to get clean clothes, changed, then took his phone and strode outside.

Bei Ran wondered if it was a call from Gu Bohan, for Gu Qingchen to be leaving in such a hurry!

She suddenly felt that seeing Gu Qingchen had become so difficult, and Ji Su was also creating mischief!

But what could she do?

Gu Qingchen hurried back directly to the Gu Family Mansion.

At this moment, the Gu Family Mansion was already surrounded by reporters, their cameras set up like artillery in front of the Gu Family Mansion entrance.

"The young master is back!" someone recognized him, "Could you say a few words?"

Gu Qingchen looked at them: "Thank you all for your hard work! Now is the mid-autumn season, and the skin tends to be very dry, so please make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your hydration levels normal, especially for our female compatriots. For beautiful skin, you certainly should also drink some nourishing soups. Oh, I’ve spoken quite a lot, please wait, and we will definitely give everyone an explanation later."

With that, he instructed his assistant to carry several cases of water from the car, and the assistant said: "This is from Mr. Gu for everyone, please remain calm and sit down to have some electrolyte water to replenish your body’s needs!"

Gu Qingchen entered the mansion, and from a distance, he saw Song Xiaoyin throwing tableware at Gu Bohan.

Moreover, Miss Song of the Song Family, always known for her propriety, now seemed to have lost all her image, as if she wanted to have a showdown with Gu Bohan!

Luckily, the bodyguards were blocking Gu Bohan, otherwise, Song Xiaoyin would have thrown all the tableware at him.
