Chapter 11: Just Like You!

"Sweet."

Gu Nanyan, "Then you're still not moved, still not having kids with me."

Scooping her up horizontally, Lu Beicheng walked toward the bathroom, "Let's have one."

Gu Nanyan smiled contentedly, "Thanks, boss."

Though she sounded fierce, as soon as Lu Beicheng placed her in the bathtub, she passed out and slept like a log.

At that moment, Lu Beicheng had almost decided to relent, to kindly let her sleep.

In the end, his face turned extremely gloomy, feeling like he had been played.

—

The next morning.

When Gu Nanyan opened her eyes, she was tormented by a splitting headache.

She had a complete blackout about the previous night's events.

Lu Beicheng was long gone from beside her.

In the following days, Lu Beicheng vanished without a trace, just like before.

Only when Qin Haiyun called to ask about their situation did Gu Nanyan text him back.

Not long after, Xia Cheng called her to say Lu Beicheng was on a business trip.

By Friday evening, all her colleagues at the law firm had left, while Gu Nanyan was still working overtime.

Flipping through the documents in her hand, her cellphone on the desk suddenly rang.

Without lifting her head, Gu Nanyan picked up the phone.

When she saw Lu Beicheng's name, her movements briefly halted.

In their two years of marriage, it was the first time he had called her first.

Snapping back to reality, it was nearly eight o'clock, Gu Nanyan answered, "You're back from your trip?"

On the other end of the line, Lu Beicheng said indifferently, "Yes!"

"Are you at home?" she asked, then added, "Go take a shower, I'll be home after you finish."

…Lu Beicheng's face instantly darkened.

He then abruptly hung up the call.

Thud! Annoyed, he threw the phone onto the dashboard. Lu Beicheng really wanted to crack open Gu Nanyan's head to see what she was thinking all day long.

Since the call was hung up, Gu Nanyan didn't mind. After packing up the documents on her desk, she grabbed her bag and left work.

Shortly after, as she walked downstairs in her high heels, she immediately spotted Lu Beicheng's limited edition Maybach.

The car was flashy, and the 666 license plate was even more so.

Assuming Xia Cheng had driven over, but not seeing Xia Cheng come out to open the door for her, Gu Nanyan realized that Lu Beicheng had come to pick her up himself today.

In two years of marriage, Lu Beicheng rarely picked her up.

In the past, he often did come to pick her up from school...

Opening the passenger side door, Gu Nanyan smiled and got in, "Did you come straight from the airport?"

"Yes!" Glancing at Gu Nanyan apathetically, and seeing that she had buckled up, he started the car.

Lu Beicheng had called her tonight and came to pick her up personally; as the car started, Gu Nanyan leaned her face on her hand and gazed at him from behind.

With a smiling gaze, Lu Beicheng freed his right hand, placed a finger on her forehead, "Stop staring at me like that."

Gu Nanyan, "Because I like you!"

The hands holding the steering wheel couldn't help but shake.

Seeing Lu Beicheng's reaction, Gu Nanyan's smile grew even brighter.

Then, glancing at him slyly, she teased, "Lu Beicheng, you seem a bit overwhelmed."

…Lu Beicheng.

With his right hand gripping Gu Nanyan's face, Lu Beicheng made her look forward, "Are you even a woman anymore?"

Gu Nanyan, "Why don't you check when we get back?"

Lu Beicheng, "You really have no shame left."

Lu Beicheng's ears were tinged red, which made Gu Nanyan internally laugh to death.

A commanding figure who called the shots, yet his ears reddened at just a few flirty words.

With Gu Nanyan's smiling face, Lu Beicheng especially detested it.

So, whenever Gu Nanyan looked at him, Lu Beicheng would push her away, not letting her see him.

The drive from Gu Nanyan's law firm to Yulin Bay was nearly an hour. After their bickering, Lu Beicheng refusing to let her look at him, Gu Nanyan simply stretched and fell asleep.

The weather was comfortably cool, blowing gentle breezes; the scenery on the way home was very warm.

Lu Beicheng glanced at Gu Nanyan lying next to him, and thinking about the nonsense she had just said, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

Gu Nanyan's thick skin.

If she claimed to be second thickest-skinned in the world, nobody would dare claim to be the first.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in the driveway. Lu Beicheng was just about to wake Gu Nanyan when his phone, thrown aside, suddenly rang.

Picking it up, seeing it was a call from Ye Chu, Lu Beicheng's expression unconsciously darkened.

Even so, he answered the call.

No sooner had Lu Beicheng answered the phone than Ye Chu's voice came over, sounding tearful, "Beicheng, my mom suddenly fell ill, I called 120, but the doctor hasn't arrived yet, Beicheng, I'm so scared! I don't know what to do now."

As she spoke, she broke down in tears on the other end.

On this end, before Lu Beicheng had a chance to speak, Gu Nanyan's eyelashes fluttered first.
