Chapter 333

Gu Ren looked at her again.

Everything happened so quickly that Ye Zhi wasn’t able to react. She didn’t know what his thought process was either.

As if it was arranged, neither spoke a word.

Somehow, in this silence, an ambiguous meaning was born inexplicably.

About half a minute later, Gu Ren, who had been motionless, lowered his head quickly. Then, he leaned his head forward until the distance between them was reduced to only an inch.

Ye Zhi’s slender eyelashes trembled slightly. Suddenly, a warm sensation was felt on her lips.

Her heartbeat was frantic and the night wind had stopped blowing at some point; her surroundings were so quiet that there was nothing else audibly heard but the sounds of their breathing.

Gu Ren stretched out his hand, gently covering Ye Zhi’s back with his slender fingers. Encircling her, he narrowed the distance between the two of them.

Along the way, Gu Ren and Ye Zhi did not speak.

Gu Ren glanced at Ye Zhi from time to time. Sometimes, her gaze would meet his and then proceed to look away at the next moment.

But just a few seconds later, her eyes would subconsciously direct her attention onto him once again.

Gu Ren curved his lips and couldn’t help but laugh at her. Ye Zhi blushed before turning around and running into the villa. Despite hearing the voice of the housekeeper, Ye Zhi didn’t answer. Instead, she went up the stairs and walked straight into the room.

When Ye Zhi woke up the next morning, she saw David Austin’s Roses(1) placed beside the bed.

(T/N: A brand famous for the cultivation of English roses.)

The flowers that were yet to fully bloom, at this moment, had a light shade of yellow as the base as the upper layer of the petals were gradiently reddish. The overall gradual colour however, was intriguingly beautiful.

When the roses gradually opened afterwards, she would be able to see new surprises.

Ye Zhi went downstairs. She didn’t have much of a schedule today, so Mrs. Gu made an appointment with her to take her shopping.

The Gu family knew that Ye Zhi’s next movie was a very tiring task. Besides, they always wanted to find opportunities to make her happy.

Mrs. Gu didn’t want Ye Zhi to be secretly photographed, so she rented out the whole shopping mall for an entire afternoon.

Throughout the afternoon, there would be no other customers here except for the two of them.
