CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 385: ALL RIGHT

It’s a pity that Gu Xiaoqing doesn’t understand Fang Shaohan. In her plan, she never anticipated that someone would arrive in Shanghai like a storm.

Gu Xiaoqing opened the door and placed her keys in the dish on the shoe cabinet, which was her habit.

She changed into slippers and carried the shopping bag to the kitchen.

She took out a carton of eggs and opened the refrigerator door to put them inside.

The sunlight slanting through the kitchen window shone on the doorway, and Gu Xiaoqing inadvertently caught sight of a figure leaning against the wall in the hallway between the living room and the kitchen.

The egg in her hand dropped to the floor with a splat.

Gu Xiaoqing was dumbfounded.

"Why are you here?"

Her gaze couldn’t help but urgently sweep over those two long legs, standing so casually; he must have completely recovered, right?

He looked at her. She had grown thinner, her eyes were dark-circled, and it pained him. She wasn’t happy at all. He had hoped she would be safe and happy.

"How have you been?" His voice was filled with care.

He took so long to come here hoping to give her some space and himself some space, to try living without her, to see if he could forget everything, forget the intense longing this woman brought him.

Sadly, he found that without her, he seemed to lose all meaning in life, becoming disinterested in doing anything, his eyes always searching for that familiar silhouette.

So, unable to resist his own heart, he decided to face it calmly.

Even if this woman coldly didn’t care at all about him.

He still couldn’t resist wanting to get closer.

"I think I’m fine."

Gu Xiaoqing picked up a broom to clean the egg liquid and shells on the floor, trying not to let her gaze sweep to the figure on the other side.

But she couldn’t stop Fang Shaohan from walking towards her, the decreasing distance bringing with it searing body warmth and breath, the smell of men’s shampoo and soap surrounding her.

Wrapping around Gu Xiaoqing’s will and consciousness, there was a bit of hazy confusion and bewilderment, along with a slight sting in her heart.

"Would you like something to drink? Soda, tea, or plain water?"

Gu Xiaoqing tried to open the refrigerator casually, as if entertaining a familiar acquaintance; if it weren’t for a faint undetectable tremble in her voice, it would have been even better.

Fang Shaohan stepped into the kitchen and leaned against the refrigerator, his presence was impossible for Gu Xiaoqing to ignore.

"I miss you, I tried to forget you, but I couldn’t. No one can replace you, so I came back here to see if you’ve changed your mind." Fang Shaohan’s voice pierced through the refrigerator door.

Causing Gu Xiaoqing to subconsciously let go, the door slowly closed, revealing his eager eyes looking at her.

She couldn’t believe her heartbeat was pounding so fiercely; she couldn’t tell if what she heard was real or an illusion.

"What if I haven’t..."

She murmured incredulously.

Fang Shaohan seized Gu Xiaoqing and tightly embraced her in his arms, whispering in her ear, "Then I will make you change your mind. This feeling is too real; who can deceive themselves? Don’t think leaving will solve all problems, face the truth of your heart. We both know we belong to each other’s hearts, why do you cruelly push me away, this time you have no reason to push me away."

The solid embrace made her heart warm, and she wanted to stay there; the strong heartbeat made Gu Xiaoqing want to immerse herself in it, abandon the barriers in her heart; this wasn’t Fu Guoqiang, this wasn’t anyone else, it was just Fang Shaohan.

"Go away, Fang Shaohan. You make it hard for me to make rational judgments like this." Gu Xiaoqing tried to regain her sense.

Fang Shaohan chuckled softly at her ear, teasing her.

"I must kiss you," he said in a low, hurried voice, lifting her hand to his neck. "Just once." With his other arm encircling her waist to pull her closer, he lowered his head.

This kiss was not polite; it was fierce and deep. His mouth was hot and wild, with a taste of tobacco. Gu Xiaoqing’s other hand automatically climbed his neck as her legs had turned weak.

His intense attack was so apparent, it seemed like all the hormones in her body had been activated, responding to Fang Shaohan’s passion hungrily, as if all suppression and confinement had been broken by a spell, all suppressed passions were gushing out.

Her heart trembled with joy. She not only welcomed his tongue’s invasion but reciprocated, responding with her dexterous tongue.

He shivered, his arms tightened for a second, and she involuntarily whimpered. His iron-like arms immediately relaxed, and he lifted his head.

They looked at each other directly. His expression was severe yet excited, eyes bright, his lips still shimmering with the moistness of the heated kiss.

"I’ll ask you again, be my girlfriend."

His jaws twitched. She could feel his tension, like a beast preparing to leap, making her involuntarily take a step back.

Her eyes glimmered with tears; at this moment, the past obstacles and resistance seemed to blur and disappear, as if the entire world was faced only by this one man.

She couldn’t hear her voice clearly; it seemed so distant and hazy, hoarse like the voice of another person.

"Alright."

Once again wrapped in that embrace, everything seemed to be relived, familiar, unfamiliar, the first experience breaking through all boundaries, becoming delightful and joyful.

"I think this is the sweetest answer I’ve heard recently. I think I’ve loved you for a long time, so long that I thought it was impossible, but thankfully you agreed with me, otherwise, I think I would collapse." His hand stroked Gu Xiaoqing’s smooth black hair, the uncertainty when he just came in seemed to be comforted and become gentle and calm.

Everything finally settled.

Being loved by someone and receiving their response is a truly delightful thing.

Gu Xiaoqing pushed Fang Shaohan away, sized him up, and softly asked, "Have you fully recovered?"

She was very worried that he would do something crazy without regard for his physical condition.

Fang Shaohan laughed heartily, embracing the soft body in his arms, the faint fragrance of shampoo stirred his heart, trying to restrain his desire; every man seems to be insatiable.
