CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

At one in the afternoon, Gu Ningyue returned to the villa.

Just as she was about to enter the villa with her bag, the housekeeper came up to her: "Young Madam, President Ling is back."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but feel puzzled: "Didn’t he say he wouldn’t come back during the day?"

The housekeeper looked troubled: "President Ling seems to be in a bad mood, Young Madam, you should be more careful when you speak later."

Gu Ningyue nodded, could it be that something happened at the company that upset him?

If that’s the case, she could just hide in her own room.

Can’t afford to offend him, but can avoid him.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ling Tianyou’s stern face, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees even without the air conditioning on.

"You’re back!" Gu Ningyue greeted lightly, "Have you eaten?"

Ling Tianyou stared at her, "Come here."

Gu Ningyue inexplicably felt a chill on her back and couldn’t help but walk towards him.

It was only when she was in front of him did she suddenly regain her senses.

What happened to her? How did she end up sitting on his lap? Was she under some spell?

"What did you do today, huh?" Ling Tianyou’s hand encircled her waist, his warm body temperature seeped through the thin fabric onto her skin, like an electric current spreading through her entire body.

"I-I didn’t do anything!" Gu Ningyue stammered for the first time, "I just went out shopping because I was bored."

Ling Tianyou stared into her eyes, "Did you happen to buy a house, hmm?"

This woman actually bought property outside behind his back, what did she mean by that?

Upon learning this news, he was so angry that he pushed his afternoon appointments to the next day and drove straight back to the villa.

Gu Ningyue’s smile froze, "How do you know?"

"That card is linked to my phone; I can see every transaction," Ling Tianyou gently caressed her face with his other hand, "You better give me an explanation; I don’t like being kept in the dark."

Gu Ningyue felt stifled; how could she forget such a minor detail?

It seems it’s been too long since she took on a task, her thinking has become careless.

"You know, when I left the Gu Family, I had nothing, no sense of security," Gu Ningyue appeared very sincere, "I just wanted a house of my own, so no matter what happens in the future, I won’t be homeless."

Ling Tianyou’s gaze deepened: "So, you really don’t trust me?"

Gu Ningyue: "Well..." In fact, you could say that?

"Why don’t you trust me, hmm?" Ling Tianyou’s fingers crept slowly upwards from her waist, stopping two inches below her armpit, "Haven’t I done well?"

His voice was gentle, but his expression was very cold.

And yet, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt that even when angry, Ling Tianyou was incredibly handsome.

"No, you’ve done very well." For the first time, Gu Ningyue felt powerless: "It’s just, I’ve gotten used to preparing things for myself, I don’t want to end up as downtrodden as before."

Ling Tianyou frowned beautifully, "With me here, how could such a day ever come?"

His woman, he would give her the best things in the world.

Gu Ningyue thought for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t tell the truth, "Okay, I won’t do this again, please don’t be angry, alright?"

After all, the house had been bought, and it was in her name. Even if Chen Rui and Ling Tianyou rekindled their past romance, at least she wouldn’t be homeless.

Ling Tianyou looked at her enchanting face, "No, I’m still very angry, so I’m going to punish you."

With that, Ling Tianyou suddenly picked her up horizontally and headed straight upstairs.

"What are you doing, put me down!" Gu Ningyue suddenly panicked and tried to struggle out of his embrace, but Ling Tianyou’s words stopped her: "I won’t do anything to you, but if you move again, your newly purchased house might be in jeopardy."

Gu Ningyue dared not move, only able to resort to words, "I really just have no sense of security, I did it for my peace of mind, please don’t be angry, okay?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, his lips pressed into a line.

"I was wrong, it’s my fault. You being angry is only torturing yourself, please don’t be like this, alright?"

Ling Tianyou shut the door, and the next moment, Gu Ningyue was tossed onto the bed.

Before she could resist, Ling Tianyou had already pressed over her.

He grabbed her hands, "Don’t move."

His eyes ignited a flame, his voice low and tender, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

Gu Ningyue instinctively shook her head, not quite understanding what he meant.

"You said you’d tell me beforehand no matter what you do. Did you say anything this time?"

Gu Ningyue suddenly realized what he was upset about and almost instantly admitted her mistake, "I won’t do it again, I wasn’t thinking enough. Please don’t be angry."

Her eyes were bright like a deer’s, and Ling Tianyou couldn’t resist lowering his head and kissing her, "No, I’m still angry. What should we do then?"

His voice was so pleasant, and his face too handsome. Gu Ningyue was dazzled by his kisses, and when his lips moved to her corner, her heart skipped a beat.

"I won’t leave you, you don’t need to worry."

His words were tender and lingering, like they carried magic, echoing in her ears.

He slowly savored her lips, and revengefully bit down hard, "Got it?"

"Ouch~" Gu Ningyue winced in pain, "...I got it."

Only then did Ling Tianyou show a slight smile, then rolled over and hugged her tightly, kissing her deeply again.

She heard the sound of her heart pounding like a drum, a feeling she had never experienced.

"Mm..."

Her breathing gradually became a bit urgent, even suppressing Ling Tianyou’s breath.

"What’s wrong? Can’t handle it already?"

Ling Tianyou suddenly released her, looking at her flushed face teasingly.

Gu Ningyue sat up in a panic, "You, you’re doing this on purpose!"

Ling Tianyou propped his head with one hand, lying sideways watching her, "Yes, I did it on purpose, so what?"

Gu Ningyue was at a loss, whatever answer she gave felt wrong!

"Next time I find out you don’t trust me like this, it won’t be so simple." His gaze went down, making her face even redder.

"Rogue!" Gu Ningyue couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Is that so?" Ling Tianyou sat up as well, "I’ll give you a chance to rephrase."

Seeing his eyes filled with desire, Gu Ningyue cowered instantly, "Okay, I’m the rogue, is that better?"

Ling Tianyou gave a half-hearted smile, "You’re really reluctant?"

"...No, it’s an illusion, all an illusion!" Gu Ningyue quickly got off the bed, "Rest well, I’m going back."

Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, tacitly agreeing with her actions.

Gu Ningyue escaped to her own room, this man, too hard to handle!

She almost succumbed.
