In the darkness of the room, Gu Linzheng heard what Tang Chi said. He remained silent for a while before he sat up and turned on the lights.

With the lights turned on once again, it made Tang Chi subconsciously look at him.

Just a mere glance at him was sufficient to shock her. Now that he sat up, Tang Chi got a good look at him. He was… truly handsome beyond her understanding.

Tang Chi couldn’t find an appropriate word to describe him with her limited vocabulary.

Could it be that the reason that she transmigrated was so she could broaden her horizons, to discover that there was such a handsome man in this world?

1No… This wasn’t right. This world was just the same as Tang Chi’s original world. In that case, did that mean that there was also a Gu Linzheng in her original world?

Suddenly, Gu Linzheng lowered his head. Under the backlight, Tang Chi couldn’t see his expression for a moment, however, she could sense confused emotion in his eyes. Then, he abruptly got out of bed. His tall and slender figure was undeniably perfect, even in pajamas.

Looking at him now, his cold demeanor was even more apparent. He looked like one of those people who were hard to get close to.

These thoughts were the same in the memories of the Tang Chi from this world.

Tang Chi thought to herself once more, ‘Perfection in this world…’

Gu Linzheng put on his slippers and walked to the study table in the bedroom. He found a cigarette and lit it up with a silver lighter.

The cigarette was thin and long with filters wrapped in a gold tin foil. Like this man, it exuded a kind of elegance. However, at the same time, it also gave off air of being untouchable by the poor.

Tang Chi couldn’t help but think, ‘… Is my family considered poor to this Gu Linzheng?’

Gu Linzhen drew in a breath of the cigarette as he leaned back onto the chair. He raised his head and closed his eyes as he exhaled out a mouthful of smoke. These simple actions made him look like the male models on the cover of magazines; in short, it was extremely attractive.

He spoke hoarsely, “I’ll sit by here for a while. You go ahead and sleep first, weren’t you sleeping just then?”

Tang Chi hesitated a little before pushing it slightly. “Weren’t you going to the study to sleep?”

Wasn’t that how it went on television?

Gu Linzheng’s cold gaze immediately swept over, it was like he found the very idea incredulous. He gave a low sneer and said, “If I go out now, then my mother will immediately come up and ask why we aren’t sleeping together. If that happens, the news of us not getting along on the first day of marriage will spread.

Tang Chi was undoubtedly speechless.

In the case that it happens, Gu Linzheng’s grandfather will get extremely angry. Once he gets angry, who knows what kind of accident might happen? After all, he was already old and shouldn’t be agitated.

After thinking of this, Tang Chi, a person who had just transmigrated, felt a little guilty. She no longer dared to do anything that was obviously inconsistent with the Tang Chi of this world’s behavior. With this, she closed her eyes and laid back on the pillow.

There was no sleeping tonight. Tang Chi’s heart was still filled with chaos. Then, she looked at the cigarette on Gu Linzheng’s hand and said gloomily, “Can you not smoke? I don’t like the smell of cigarettes. Also, second-hand smoke is very harmful to a woman.”

1At this moment, Gu Linzheng’s glance made Tang Chi think of something.

Despite what he just did, he still stretched out his hand to put out the cigarette that wasn’t even half-finished yet.

This action described something to Tang Chi, it meant — trouble.

Although Tang Chi’s thoughts were running by themselves, she still felt embarrassed. She covered her head with the quilt and forced herself to shut her eyes, she wanted to make it look like she was sleeping.

After doing so, Tang Chi never fell asleep. She didn’t even dare to move anymore. Because of this, she also knew that Gu Linzheng returned to bed half an hour later.

When morning came, Tang Chi felt Gu Linzheng get out of bed. She waited until he left the room before immediately getting up herself.
