Chapter 2176: Chapter 2176: Squeezing In for the Night
Su Yunjin insisted on writing a letter to the King’s wife, and Gu Ya eventually stopped trying to prevent her.
...
Xue Chu and Linglong went out for the whole day, and in the evening, they finally returned together.
After discussing, both Xue Chu and Linglong decided to move out of the Gu Residence. Living at the Gu Residence was quite inconvenient for them, and if they were to get married, they couldn’t stay there.
Upon first seeing Linglong, Xue Chu felt she was the woman he wanted, and it took quite a bit for them to be together.
Xue Chu would never let Linglong suffer or feel wronged while being with him.
Xue Chu had already made plans. He intended to purchase a small house in town, and after they got married, he and Linglong would live there.
For now, Xue Chu rented a place at the dock as a temporary residence until the house was bought, where he and Linglong would stay!
It was already dark today, and moving things tonight wasn’t convenient, so Xue Chu decided that he and Linglong would move out tomorrow.
For tonight, Linglong would still stay at the Gu Residence, sleeping in the room where he used to stay. Since they weren’t married yet, Xue Chu couldn’t stay in the same room as Linglong.
For Linglong’s reputation and to prevent people from disrespecting her, Xue Chu planned to squeeze in with his good friend Hong Wu tonight.
Anyway, Hong Wu’s room only housed Hong Wu, so squeezing in with him wouldn’t be a problem at all.
Earlier today, Xue Chu bought a box of rouge for Linglong while in town.
As soon as Linglong returned to her room, she took out the rouge and asked Xue Chu to help her apply it.
Xue Chu, being a man used to fights and brawls, had no idea how to apply rouge on a woman.
However, since Linglong asked, Xue Chu clumsily tried to help her put it on. Watching Xue Chu handle the rouge as if confronting a formidable enemy, Linglong couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"You’re such a fool!" Linglong chuckled, looking at Xue Chu.
Under the oil lamp, Linglong’s laughing face was as beautiful as a flower, and Xue Chu couldn’t help but stare, entranced.
Linglong felt slightly uneasy being under Xue Chu’s gaze.
"Ling Sister!" Xue Chu suddenly pulled Linglong into his embrace.
Linglong’s body stiffened slightly.
Xue Chu boldly leaned in to kiss Linglong on the face.
Previously, Linglong had been forcibly embraced by Xue Chu several times.
But being kissed like this was indeed a first.
Linglong felt entirely stiffened, it was her first time being kissed, unsure whether she should push Xue Chu away or let it continue.
While Linglong was hesitating, Xue Chu finished the kiss and released her, "Good girl, sleep early tonight; tomorrow, we’ll leave first thing!"
"Mhm!" Linglong instinctively nodded, looking at Xue Chu.
Thinking about the kiss Xue Chu had just left on her face.
An inexplicable sweetness surged within Linglong’s heart!
Xue Chu left, leaving Linglong alone in the room, dazed and smiling foolishly.
Hong Wu was just about to extinguish the lamp for bed when Xue Chu suddenly climbed in through the window, initially startling Hong Wu, thinking a thief had come. Upon noticing it was Xue Chu.
Hong Wu was slightly surprised.
"Brother Xue, it’s so late, aren’t you keeping your lady Linglong company? Why did you come to me instead? Could it be that I’m more important than your lady Linglong?" Hong Wu teasingly nudged Xue Chu as he returned his sword to the table.
Xue Chu pushed Hong Wu away with disdain, "Get off, get off, I’m a man with a wife, so back off a bit!"
"Wife? Sounds quite smooth, but don’t forget, your lady Linglong hasn’t married you yet!" Hong Wu reminded Xue Chu.
Xue Chu ignored Hong Wu, lifted Hong Wu’s blanket, and lay down.
