Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen out of the airport.
A sense of loss had inexplicably surfaced in her heart.
Gu Qichen seemed to show no signs of surprise or delight. He was utterly expressionless.
But Xia Yangyang did notice that Gu Qichen’s footsteps seemed faster than usual.
So, he was merely in a hurry to return home?
Gu Qichen’s private car was already waiting outside the airport.
But to the driver, Old Zheng, he said: “Give me the car keys. I’ll drive. You can take a taxi home.”
After Zheng stepped out of the car, Gu Qichen settled into the driver’s seat.
Xia Yangyang silently opened the door to the backseat, intending to sit there.
“Sit upfront.” Gu Qichen spoke abruptly.
Xia Yangyang obediently closed the back door and opened the passenger seat door.
She muttered under her breath: what difference does it make where I sit.
After Xia Yangyang fastened her seat belt, she noticed Gu Qichen not starting the car but instead, watching her with an odd gaze.
Gu Qichen’s eyes were deep, like the ocean beneath the night sky, so unfathomable they would drown her with a mere glance.
Such a gaze made Xia Yangyang uncomfortable, so she asked, “Why are you looking at me, is there something on my face?”
Gu Qichen replied, ever so serious, “Yes, there is. Come closer, let me wipe it off.”
Assuming that she really had something dirty on her face, Xia Yangyang leaned in closer.
To her surprise, Gu Qichen leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
It was a passionate kiss, carrying an irresistible dominance.
Xia Yangyang could feel the intense desire Gu Qichen made no attempt to conceal.
However, Xia Yangyang still felt somewhat self-conscious.
The car was parked in the open parking lot at the airport, surrounded by a crowd of people and plenty of other vehicles.
Although she knew Gu Qichen’s car windows were made of special material that completely concealed the interior, she couldn’t let herself go.
She took Gu Qichen’s wandering hand from inside her clothes and said, “Let’s wait until we get home… okay?”
With her cheeks flushed and her eyes glistening with a captivating haze, it was clear that she too, was moved.
Gu Qichen always thought he had good self-control, but he just couldn’t resist Xia Yangyang’s kitten-like gaze.
Yet, he knew Xia Yangyang was shy; her embarassed look was so irresistible, it made him yearn to pin her down and make love to her passionately.
Gu Qichen suppressed his yearning desire and sealed her lips with a deep kiss, saying, “I’ll spare you for now, but I’ll expect double compensation when we get home.”
Then, he carefully rearranged her clothes, which were already disheveled.
The car rushed forward, and Xia Yangyang’s mood improved significantly.
Even the unpleasant memories from school seemed to dissolve at this moment.
The car pulled straight into Maple Villa.
As soon as they entered, Xia Yangyang was swooped up by Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang let out a yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around Gu Qichen’s neck.
Kisses fell like rain, although they had been apart for only three days, it felt like three months.
Xia Yangyang had to admit that she missed him too.
Such a strange emotion, even surprising herself, felt soothed only in the midst of their kiss, only finding release in their physical closeness.
With a blush on her face, Xia Yangyang responded actively.
From the entrance to the stairs, from the corridor to the bedroom, and finally plunged into the soft bed.
Gu Qichen kissed her earlobe; his deep, magnetic voice whispered into her ear, “Did you miss me?”
“Yes,” Xia Yangyang answered honestly.
“Do you love me?”
“Yes,” Xia Yangyang answered, already in a daze.
At this moment, Xia Yangyang only felt like she was caught in deep water or intense fire, unable to make sense of her own words….
