Gu Jinyuan did not investigate why Ye Wanqing's expression was unnatural.
Her cell phone was out there, but he was never the type to peep into someone else's privacy.
Ye Wanqing quickly washed up and came out. Gu Jinyuan had already dried his hair and laid on the bed, using his phone to read the financial news.
However, no matter how big the room was, it would only be a few steps away. Ye Wanqing moved to the side of the bed like a snail, trying his best to relax and lie down next to Gu Jinyuan.
She had a wound on her arm and changed into a more conservative pajamas.
After lying down, she fell asleep with her back facing Gu Jinyuan. After a while, the lights went off and Gu Jinyuan put down his phone beside her.
Her stomach began to spasm and pain slightly, she resisted the urge to speak, but she suddenly moved a hand across her waist and screamed her throat, her body became as stiff as a piece of wood.
She could clearly feel that Gu Jinyuan did not simply place his hands on her waist, but had lifted the hem of her pyjamas.
"Gu Jinyuan!"
She finally could not help but call out his name, trying to keep her voice calm. Don't tremble, and don't lose control.
"Today …"
"I know you're not as strong as that beast!" Gu Jinyuan interrupted her, and placed his hand on her abdomen: "Is it warmer this way?"
he asked, still brusque but genuinely concerned.
Ye Wanqing was startled, his stomach that was in a mess just a moment ago suddenly stopped, as though he was really warmed up by the palm of his hand.
"Yeah, a bit better now."
Ye Wanqing mumbled as he pressed his chest against her back, wrapping her up like a hot stove.
"Go to sleep."
Then his breathing became even and long, and he fell asleep very quickly.
Ye Wanqing's body was still stiff, he had to listen for a long time before he could barely breathe.
She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly for a long time. In the end, she couldn't lie down anymore and tried to break free from Gu Jinyuan's embrace.
Gu Jinyuan was afraid that she would wake him up, so he directly walked out of the room and down the stairs barefooted.
It was already early in the morning and everything was quiet. Ye Wanqing sat on the ground and started to work on that house again.
At the end of the day, she finally felt a little tranquil.
She patiently picked up the wooden board and compared the blueprints bit by bit before turning the screw.
Because he had fought against this before, it was easier to do it again, so Ye Wanqing quickly finished stitching the roof.
She yawned, put down the screwdriver, and went straight to the bed in the guest room to sleep. This time, her head touched the pillow, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after she fell asleep, the door to the guest room was pushed open once again as Gu Jinyuan walked in from outside in his pajamas.
This was the first time he had seen such a house model, and a look of surprise flashed past his eyes. He looked at Ye Wanqing, and seeing that she was peacefully sleeping, he quietly walked to the side of the model and sat down.
The structure inside was very exquisite. There were two floors, a kitchen and a guest room in the living room below, and above them, there was a master bedroom and three second bedroom. It was similar to the structure of the villa they were currently living in, but slightly different.
Gu Jinyuan took the blueprints and compared it with the model that was already put together. Ye Wanqing had already roughly finished preparing the house, and only some household items remained.
He didn't sleep at night just for this?
Gu Jinyuan felt that he couldn't really understand Ye Wanqing's thoughts. After looking at it for a while, he put down the blueprint and carried Ye Wanqing up the stairs from the guest room.
At first, her voice was very soft, but because it was too sleepy and had a nasal tone, Gu Jinyuan did not hear what she said clearly. It was only when he entered his room did he hear her say, "Don't touch me!"
Gu Jinyuan thought that she was having a nightmare and unconsciously lowered his guard. When he placed her on the bed, he heard her say, "Gu Jinyuan, don't touch me!"
In her sleep, her brow was furrowed, her expression pained, as if being touched by him was too much for her.
Her eyes darkened slightly as Gu Jinyuan grabbed onto Ye Wanqing's chin. Just as she was about to wake up and interrogate him, she heard her helpless and soft voice whispered, "I feel so uncomfortable …"
As she said that, tears leaked out of the corner of her eyes. Gu Jinyuan unwittingly released her and patted her back, consoling her in a low voice: "I won't touch you, just rest in peace."
It was unknown if it was because he heard his words, but Ye Wanqing's brows gradually relaxed, after a moment, his breathing became even, and he finally fell asleep.
Gu Jinyuan covered her with a blanket and sat for a while before he got up and went downstairs to the guest room.
The next day, Ye Wanqing went back to sleep. When he woke up, the room was already dark and gloomy, but light could still be seen coming in through the gaps in the curtains.
Ye Wanqing checked the time on his phone, it was already 11 in the morning.
After sleeping for too long, she felt a little dizzy. She put down her phone and stared at it for a while. When she opened her eyes, she found that she had returned to the master bedroom.
Did Gu Jinyuan carry her back?
Ye Wanqing was bewildered as he thought about this. He then washed his face and rinsed his mouth, changed his clothes, and went downstairs. The butler came in from outside and said respectfully: "Madam, may I ask what you would like to eat in a while?"
"I'll have some vegetable porridge."
Ye Wanqing laughed as he replied, he pushed open the door to the guest room. The model he made last night was indeed complete, it was only missing a few small ornaments.
"Teacher got up early this morning to do this." The butler said this from the side and casually passed on Gu Jinyuan's words: "Sir said that if Madam has nothing else to do today, you can finish the remaining things at home. He wants to see the final result."
He seemed to do everything the same way. Once he did it, he would want to see the results very soon.
"I know."
Ye Wanqing nodded. After eating breakfast, he took out the needlework bag and the hand materials he bought online previously, and started to make a figurine.
Actually, this kind of thing could be bought online. The finished products she bought would be much more beautiful than the ones she made herself, let alone a lot of them.
But the thought that this might be the last gift she could give to her three children made her want nothing more than to pretend to be someone else.
This was the last thing she could do as a mother. Of course, she had to do it herself.
Ye Wanqing was working on it seriously, but because he was focusing, he gradually calmed down.
She liked this feeling of peace and quiet over time. Accompanying the sunlight, she leisurely prepared a gift for the person she loved and did not need to rush to catch up with them or worry about whether the gift was precious enough or not. She did not need to worry about the status of the person who received the gift.
However, the tranquility was quickly broken by the anxious doorbell. At the same time, Ye Wanqing's finger was accidentally pricked by a needle, dark red blood immediately appeared.
