4679 Never Too Late to Love (86)

Gu Chengze studied her carefully. She lowered her gaze, clearly a little shy. She did not dare to look into his eyes.

Even after being married for so long, it seemed rare that he’d be so intimate with her. In fact, Bai Sheng could see Gu Chengze’s restraint. Especially when he stood at the door of her room every time. He always looked as though he had something to say. He probably felt that since they were already husband and wife, it was not appropriate for them to keep sleeping in separate rooms.

When it came to feelings and nurturing feelings, it would be difficult to make progress if the two of them continued to hover on the brink like this.

Bai Sheng was not against being a little closer to him, but Gu Chengze was too much of a gentleman. She was a girl, so it was not appropriate for her to be too proactive!

However, Gu Chengze seemed to be protecting her and not laying his hands on her. It was like a platonic marriage. She knew that there was a limit to a man’s tolerance. He had been bearing it. From the initial uneasiness, nervousness, to fear, in the end, she began to feel embarrassed!

“Chengze…”

“Don’t speak.” Gu Chengze silenced her with one finger.

Bai Sheng’s eyes widened in confusion, and her heart skipped a beat for some reason. “You…”

“I want to kiss you.”

Bai Sheng was so frightened that she fell silent. Gu Chengze started to lean closer.

At first, she resisted a little, but Gu Chengze did not allow her to reject him. He grabbed her wrist and said, “This time, you’re not allowed to reject me.”

This was clearly the first time he had kissed her. However, Bai Sheng was too embarrassed to reject!

It had to be said that this was the darker side of Gu Chengze. He had held back for so long. He had clearly coveted her for a long time, but he had endured it and not touched her.

His restraint and control was because he did not want to force her or scare her. He did not want everything to go to waste. In the end, he made himself a first-class gentleman and lived under one roof with the person he had been longing for, but he did not cross the line at all.

Eventually, it was Bai Sheng who felt a little guilty and embarrassed. And at this point, when he started making advances, she would not have the heart to reject him.

He had to admit, such a method seemed a little despicable. He did say that he would wait till she was willing, but if he really wanted this woman to agree, given Bai Sheng’s reserved personality, it would probably never happen.

A woman’s greatest restraint is her refusal to admit her desire even if she yearns for it in her heart. Thousands of years of tradition have produced women who are reserved, or even, conservative. Hence a man has to be more proactive.

Gu Chengze eased the weight of his body down on her. In the next second, he kissed her without restraint.

In that moment, when their lips touched, she was blown away. She seemed to have subconsciously accepted him, but for what reason? Love? Was it so easy to fall in love? Responsibility? She admitted that she did not have such a responsibility.

Could it be… A repayment? Out of gratitude towards him? He had saved her from the abyss of suffering and given her a warm home. Could it be that she did not resist him because she held such a mentality?

Bai Sheng did not understand. Ever since she could remember, she did not seem to have any close friends of the opposite sex. She had an inferiority complex and she was introverted. She always felt that she could not repay others for treating her well. All the more, she wanted to repay Gu Chengze because he had treated her with such kindness?

Bai Sheng’s imagination ran wild as she clumsily took in his kiss. She was really not proficient in the ways of men and women at all. Even kissing was difficult!
