Chapter 44: Chapter 43 I miss you so much, wife

East Lake Villa. The evening breeze gently brushed the lakeside, with ripples reflecting the bright moonlight, like an ancient bronze mirror flowing.

In the bathroom, mist rose hazily, and in the bathtub filled with red rose petals, a delicately beautiful woman lay naked in the warm water, her fair and translucent skin glowing, shoulders chiseled, surrounded by the hazy mist, shrouding the woman’s exquisite beauty.

When the gracefully shaped woman stepped out of the bathtub wrapped in a bath towel and walked into the living room, she was surprised to find Gao Yu sitting on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed. After a moment of shock, she walked past the man as if she hadn’t seen him and went into the bedroom to change into a wine-red nightgown. Before she could sit down, the man pushed the door open, embraced her from behind, and a heavy alcohol scent wafted over her. She scrunched her nose in disgust, trying to break free but was held even tighter by the man.

Gao Yu rested his head weakly in the curve of her shoulder, his deep brown eyes slightly sparkling, his face showing fatigue, he spoke softly, "You finally decided to come back?"

Ji Wanwan, held captive in his arms, raised her eyebrows, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with the man’s voice. She had been filming on set and hadn’t come home for over a month. It was only after the shoot wrapped up yesterday that she had the time to rest. Knowing that Gao Yu was sarcastically expressing his dissatisfaction with her long absence, she was not the kind to meekly acquiesce and bluntly retorted, "What? Not welcome? Then I’ll leave..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a kiss planted on her neck. Surprised, Ji Wanwan swallowed and shivered as the hot breath hit her. She shouted with a sharp voice, "Gao Yu."

The brief two words fell on the man’s ears, which, instead of stopping his provocation, intensified it as he bit down directly on her slightly reddened earlobe, fully aware that it was the woman’s most sensitive area, Gao Yu seemed to be doing it on purpose. Ji Wanwan’s face turned bright red, forgetting to resist and letting the man gently lick her with his eyes closed.

After the tormenting actions, the restless hands of the man gently untied the knots on the woman’s dress from behind, exposing her slender waist to his view. Ji Wanwan finally reacted and raised her hand to resist but was quickly subdued as the man grabbed her wrist, lifted her off the floor, and threw her onto the bed. The next second, he was on top of her, a domineering pose, but the words whispered in her ear were gentle.

"I’ve missed you so much, wife." Eyes locked, his peach blossom eyes full of emotions.

After a spell of indulgence, the two laid bare, embracing each other in bed.

"Try not to take roles with kiss scenes, use a stand-in for those parts, do you hear me?" Gao Yu commanded with a stern look in his eyes.

Ji Wanwan, now too exhausted to argue, simply burrowed into the man’s shoulder, her pretty face blooming with a delicate beauty, she responded with a soft grunt.

It was only at this moment that one could see her obediently following him. Gao Yu curled his lips, "My grandmother’s birthday is the day after tomorrow, you’ll accompany me."

"Mm."

"Gao Chuan got married last month. You’ll meet them this time. Try to be well-behaved and not upset my grandmother." Gao Yu advised, remembering how his wife’s independent nature often fell short in winning over his parents. Now he could only plead with the little enchantress before him to behave and not stir up trouble.

Not hearing a response from the person in his arms, Gao Yu looked down to see Ji Wanwan had already fallen into a deep sleep against his chest, a tender smile flashed across his eyes, he bent his head and gently pressed a kiss on the woman’s smooth forehead.

The night was thick like ink, a few stars strewn across the sky, the breeze rustling, a subtle fragrance lingering, shadows slanting across.

Saturday.

The next day was Grandma’s birthday. Gao Chuan, following the address given by Jiang An, drove to pick her up and found himself at a coffee shop he was familiar with. After stepping in, he realized she was still working her part-time job there.

The girl also spotted Gao Chuan entering and glanced at the clock on the wall, which marked a quarter past six. Jiang An signaled to Gao Chuan, greeted the Boss Lady, and prepared to leave work.

The two walked out of the coffee shop one after another and got into the car. Jiang An buckled her seatbelt, then looked up to see Gao Chuan pulling out a card from a black wallet, extending it to her, "This is my salary card. You can use it for some living expenses from now on."

Jiang An was slightly taken aback, handing over a salary card was indeed a common affair between spouses, but theirs was only a marriage in name, there was really no need for such actions.

Instinctively, the girl quickly shook her hands in refusal, "There’s no need, Dr. Gao, I have money."

Her deceased mother had left some savings, and her part-time earnings were more than enough for her basic living expenses in this city.

Seemingly expecting the girl’s refusal, Gao Chuan’s hand offering the card froze mid-air, "Consider it your salary for playing the role of my wife. Just use it for any household expenses."

Facing Gao Chuan’s cold gaze, Jiang An knew she couldn’t refuse and accepted the card, placing it in her purse.

Salary? Was this some form of compensation?

Indeed, in Gao Chuan’s eyes, all she needed to be was a competent actress.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the girl’s eyes. Gao Chuan slowly started the car, noticing that Jiang An was looking out the window. He had only meant to help since she was working so hard at her part-time job, but didn’t expect that he would say something so misleading.

Seeing no reaction from Jiang An, Gao Chuan turned his gaze back to the road and drove on without attempting to explain any further.

The two went to a nearby mall. Dr. Gao, who had never shopped with a woman before, followed Jiang An the whole time, occasionally answering a few questions. After several rounds around the mall, they ended up buying a cape and several boxes of health supplements for Grandma, with the man taking the initiative to pay. Jiang An thought the day’s mission was accomplished, only to find Gao Chuan pulling her to the jewelry section upstairs right after paying. She looked at Gao Chuan in surprise, her face full of question marks.

"Let’s pick out a ring."
