Chapter 496: Chapter 496

"Hmm, in the middle of the night, a little thief ran out of my house, and I was waiting for him to come back." An Yiqing sat up from the bed, switched on the bedside lamp, and under the warm, soft light, she looked at Gu Yelin with a smile.

His face bore some traces of blood, likely from an enemy. Judging from his complexion, he isn’t injured; his breathing is even, and his heartbeat is normal.

Relief slowly washed over An Yiqing’s heart. Although there was no danger, she still couldn’t sleep after Gu Yelin had left, fearing he might have an accident or encounter some trouble.

Thankfully, he was all right.

Seeing the girl’s relieved expression, Gu Yelin’s handsome face stiffened slightly, "You knew I was going out?"

"Hmm, I guessed it." An Yiqing nodded, leaned forward, and rested her head on Gu Yelin’s shoulder. "Ah Lin, the next time you have such an exhilarating task, you must take me with you."

Tenderness filled Gu Yelin’s eyes. He didn’t want his precious girl to see too much dirt and gore, but since she had asked, he would definitely agree.

Raising his hand, he gently pushed away An Yiqing’s head. Amid her puzzled gaze, Gu Yelin murmured in a low voice, "I’m dirty. I’m going to take a shower."

Smelling the blood on the man’s clothes, An Yiqing suddenly realized, and then her face began to turn red.

"It’s getting late. You should go back to your room and rest. I’m going to sleep!" Saying this, she pulled over the quilt, and like a little ostrich, covered herself up in the bedding.

Gu Yelin gazed affectionately at the little woman hidden under the covers, dark tides swirling in his eyes.

Indeed, he hadn’t held her in his arms for a long time.

Gu Yelin quietly stood up, then turned and walked away.

Hidden under the blankets, An Yiqing felt the weight beside the bed suddenly vanish, and her heart paused, missing him already. Hmm, Ah Lin’s embrace was really warm.

As she thought, An Yiqing’s face turned even redder. She huffed and patted her own cheeks gently under the covers.

No more wild thoughts, stay calm!

Just then, An Yiqing suddenly felt the big bed dip down next to her. Before she could react, a strong arm, still damp with water droplets, wrapped around her waist.

An Yiqing let out a yelp, followed by the silk quilt over her head being lifted, and Gu Yelin’s smiling handsome face appeared before her.

The man had just taken a shower, his hair still dotted with droplets, and he was only wrapped in a towel around his waist. An Yiqing’s gaze inadvertently traveled down from his face. The sexy Adam’s apple moved slightly on his long neck. His fine collarbones led to broad shoulders, and further down was his firm chest, followed by beautifully sculpted abs.

Looking even further down, An Yiqing caught a glimpse of the ’V’ muscle line just above the edge of the towel.

"Tutu, are you satisfied?"

Gu Yelin’s deep and sensual voice came from above her, and An Yiqing’s face turned red in an instant. She hurriedly buried her head into the man’s chest in a fluster.

Then, suddenly realizing this wasn’t appropriate, she stretched out her hand to push against Gu Yelin’s chest, widened her eyes, and glared at him with feigned anger, saying sternly, "Why aren’t you going back to your own room?"

Looking tenderly and indulgently at the shy little woman before him, Gu Yelin felt a ripple of desire at the soft touch of her hands against his chest.

"Tutu, I missed you. I can’t sleep without you."

The man’s affectionate words softened An Yiqing’s heart, but she regained her composure and glared at him again.

"If my parents find out, you’re done for. Hurry back to your room!" Saying this, An Yiqing struggled to sit up and reached out to grab Gu Yelin’s arm.
