Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Not My Daughter_1
Surrounded by his towering figure and the cold jade-stone wall behind her, Eleven was cornered. Her hands were hanging limply by her sides.
Her chestnut-colored hair, naturally curly, no need for a curling iron. It would naturally take shape once dried. Once, the school considered her hairstyle inappropriately casual and required her to get it straightened. But Eleven could only reiterate that she didn’t have the money to get a fancy hairstyle, nor to straighten it.
Eleven looked at him. Although she didn’t try to get away, she couldn’t help but say, "Miss Shang is upstairs. If she finds out, are you sure it’s okay?"
"What do you think will happen?" Gu Liancheng intertwined his fingers with hers, leaned down to kiss the fragrance on her lips, his heartbeat slowly accelerating, "Or... what do you think our relationship is?"
The heat on her lips gradually increased and Eleven deliberately tried to avoid it a bit.
Gu Liancheng noticed this little movement of hers. He pressed her hands against the wall on both sides of her, leaned forward, pressing her to the wall.
"Tell me, are you jealous?" He was curious about her response.
In recent days, she had been throwing little tantrums now and then. He hoped it was not for no reason.
"This isn’t about being jealous." Eleven started to resist him a bit.
"Then, what is it?"
"Principles, boundaries."
Gu Liancheng halted his advances, his deep eyes watching her as though intending to possess her entirely.
"After all that has happened, you are still so calm," he held her chin, lifting it slightly, his lips lightly covering hers in a rewarding manner, "Go ahead and ask. If you have doubts, I can answer any of your questions."
While this would have been a great opportunity to know more about him, Eleven didn’t feel it necessary, so she didn’t want to ask.
Noticing how tightly she closed her lips, Gu Liancheng couldn’t help but smirk, "The news about Cute is spreading on Weibo. You must have seen it and possibly already know a bit. I’m not in the mood to explain it to anyone, but I’d be more than willing to explain to you as long as you ask. After waiting for so long and you still haven’t asked me anything, Mrs. Gu, aren’t you the least bit curious about Cute?"
She’s really good at keeping her emotions to herself.
"What do you mean?"
He already had an inkling of what she might have been misunderstanding. With a light chuckle, he replied, "Cute is my daughter, and yet she is not."
Eleven’s eyes widened slightly, confirming his suspicion.
This girl, she must have exaggerated the situation in her head.
"She is... and she’s not?"
But Cute... she clearly calls him ’daddy’.
"To put it accurately, she’s not my biological daughter," he clarified.
At that moment, Eleven began to understand.
If Cute has the surname Gu, then she must have taken after him. She’s not his biological daughter, but judging by his attentiveness toward Cute, it’s probably no less than he would have felt for his own, right?
Everyone who meets Cute likes her. She believed, Gu Liancheng was no exception.
"So... when Shang Muxue fell into a vegetative state, you decided to bring Cute home with you?"
"Basically." His gaze was a touch distant.
Looking at his "basically", there must be a lot of details she didn’t know about yet.
"Do you feel better now?"
"..." In theory, she shouldn’t have any emotional fluctuations about this matter. Even so, why should it matter? But the suffocating feeling in her chest actually subsided slightly... "Mmm..."
His large palm landed on her back.
"The situation is complicated. We don’t have much time right now, I can’t explain it all to you now."
"Why is there little time?"
In the darkness, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. His voice, filled with vague desires, whispered: "Because I can’t hold back anymore..."
