Chapter 184: Why is Your Mouth Swollen

Chapter 184

"Did you get your hair permed?"

Nian Suian hadn't come home yet, and Gu Junxing had been reviewing documents in the living room while waiting for her. As soon as she walked in, he noticed the change.

Nian Suian felt a bit disappointed, "You noticed right away? I was hoping to make you guess what was different about me."

"Hmm, I not only know you got your hair permed, but I also know you got a facial treatment."

"How could you possibly guess that?!" Nian Suian had a shocked expression, thinking to herself that she only got a facial treatment today, not plastic surgery, so how could he notice any difference.

Gu Junxing pulled her to sit beside him and solved the mystery.

"Zhijing told me." Gu Zhijing had dinner outside with his friends and came home earlier than Nian Suian.

"I knew it... How do you like my new hairstyle?" Nian Suian brushed her hair forward over her chest, gesturing for Gu Junxing to look.

It had been a long time since Nian Suian had her hair done. Today she got big wavy curls, and she was quite satisfied with it. Tony, whom Jiang Yun recommended, was indeed reliable.

"Beautiful. Someone as pretty as you looks good in any hairstyle."

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Gu is getting quite smooth with his words." Gu Junxing had become quite skilled at sweet talk lately, making Nian Suian wonder if someone was coaching him.

Gu Junxing wouldn't accept the "accusation" of being smooth-talking. He said with a serious face: "I'm just telling the truth."

Nian Suian loved when he said sweet things with such a serious expression. She sat up straight and leaned in to give him a quick peck on the corner of his mouth.

"That's your reward for being sweet."

A light kiss on the corner of his mouth wasn't enough for Gu Junxing. He leaned in for more, but she pushed him away.

"Not in the living room."

In their house, the living room was practically a public space. Nanny Zhang, Butler Su, and other servants could appear at any time, and Nian Suian had no interest in putting on a show.

Gu Junxing understood her meaning and immediately backed off, though he still managed to steal a quick kiss on her cheek.

"The home theater downstairs is ready. Want to watch a movie together later?"

"It's finished already? Sure!" At the mention of watching a movie, Nian Suian forgot all about Gu Junxing and immediately went to find Nanny Zhang to prepare some snacks for her to eat during the movie.

The speed at which she abandoned him made Gu Junxing both amused and exasperated.

The ever-capable Nanny Zhang immediately got to work when she heard the mistress's request.

As for Nian Suian's suggestion to "just prepare something simple," she completely ignored it.

"Whatever, changing it is fine." Gu Junxing got up and changed to a different movie, choosing a classic this time to avoid another miss.

Seeing that Nian Suian had stopped eating, Gu Junxing hadn't forgotten about the kiss he'd missed out on earlier.

"Gu Junxing, my mouth is still greasy... mmph..."

Nian Suian still had gloves on her hands, all oily, and couldn't properly push him away, so she could only carefully hold her hands up and let him have his way.

Gu Junxing's hand gradually moved from the back of Nian Suian's head to her waist, gently caressing the soft flesh there.

"That tickles... don't..." Nian Suian felt like all the strength had been drained from her body by Gu Junxing, leaving her floating and weak, even her words carrying an ambiguous tone.

After a while, they finally separated.

Nian Suian took a moment to recover before removing her gloves, grabbing some tissues to wipe her mouth, and tossing a couple more to Gu Junxing.

"My mouth was all greasy, and you still kissed me."

While others had mint-flavored kisses, strawberry-flavored kisses, or cream-flavored kisses, hers was braised chicken feet-flavored, fried chicken-flavored, and cola-flavored - what was that about...

Gu Junxing just looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

Nian Suian was full now, so she got up from the floor and sat on the sofa.

Before standing up, she took a few bites of cake as an emergency remedy.

For a couple in love, especially with Gu Junxing being like an old house on fire...

In the enclosed space, one look between them, and the ambiguous atmosphere began to flow.

In the end, neither of them paid any attention to the movie...

It was nearly midnight when they went upstairs, and they happened to run into Gu Zhijing, who had drunk an entire pitcher of water and was heading downstairs for more because he was thirsty from eating too much.

"Why are both your lips swollen?" Gu Zhijing looked at them both, somewhat confused.

"Um... the braised meat was a bit spicy, it made my lips swell up." Nian Suian casually made up an excuse for the child and quickly headed upstairs to her room.

Left behind, Gu Zhijing was puzzled, "I ate the braised meat too, but it wasn't spicy..."

Gu Zhijing looked at his father again, "Dad, did it make your lips spicy too?"

"Adult business, kids shouldn't ask too many questions."
