Chapter 267: Gu Yan Wants to Stay by Her Side Forever

“I’m going home now, ignoring you!”

With a flushed face, Su Yuning pretended to get out of the car, but Wang Haoran grabbed her hand.

“What are you doing?!”

She was immediately flustered when Wang Haoran pulled her into his embrace. Before, she thought Wang Haoran was just teasing her. But now…

“Let go of me!”

Of course, Su Yuning’s struggles were futile against Wang Haoran’s strength. He leaned closer, their breaths mingling.

“What am I doing? Heh, Yuning, I’m just returning the favor from last night!”

“Last night? What did I do?!”

Su Yuning was taken aback. She remembered passing out drunk and sleeping like a log. How could she have done anything?

But Wang Haoran’s sincere expression made her doubt herself.

Seeing Wang Haoran not responding but staring intensely at her, she asked, holding back her embarrassment.

“Tell me! What did I do?!”

“This!”

Wang Haoran said, then kissed her.

Su Yuning was utterly stunned, and Wang Haoran took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. One, two, three, four, five minutes passed. Every time Su Yuning tried to push him away, he would “attack” her soft spots, making her body go limp.

After they finally parted, Su Yuning’s face was crimson, her eyes filled with a mix of anger, confusion, and lingering feelings.

Wang Haoran still held her tightly.

“You did exactly this last night!”

“Impossible! You’re lying!”

“…Alright, maybe I am lying.”

“But! Last night, you did cling to me, asking me to help you undress and rubbing your face against mine!”

Wang Haoran spoke with a mix of sincerity and affection.

“I couldn’t resist, just like now, and kissed you…”

“This is true! If you don’t believe me, we can check the villa’s security footage!”

“You were right next to Shuang’er, being all touchy-feely with me!”

“…Did I really… do that?!”

With Wang Haoran’s convincing words, Su Yuning began to believe him. The thought of being so close to Wang Haoran near Liu Yunshuang made her feel ashamed.

“I was drunk and unconscious! You took advantage of me!”

“Yes, I know. I’m sorry. I took advantage of you being drunk. I originally just wanted to take you to your room, but… you were too adorable… I couldn’t help it…”

Their chests pressed together, and as Wang Haoran gently caressed her burning cheeks, Su Yuning’s eyes flickered with a trace of daze.

But thinking of her friend Liu Yunshuang, she quickly snapped out of it.

She forcefully pushed away from Wang Haoran’s embrace and returned to the passenger seat. However, she didn’t leave immediately; instead, she lowered her head and spoke softly.

“…You must never do this again!”

“Let’s just pretend nothing happened this time!”

Wang Haoran grabbed her hand again, “We can’t pretend nothing happened!”

“We must! I’m married, and you have a girlfriend!”

Seeing Wang Haoran playing with her left hand, she couldn’t help but question him.

“Wang Haoran, what happened to you? You used to be a good person, devoted to Yunshuang! Now you’ve changed for the worse!”

“People change!”

Wang Haoran tried to pull her back into his arms, but this time Su Yuning resisted strongly.

“No, let me go!”

“…Alright, I’m sorry.”

Reluctantly, Wang Haoran stopped.

“But Yuning, if you want to forget what just happened, then you can’t be mad at me!”

“…”

Faced with Su Yuning’s silence, Wang Haoran pressed, “Do you agree? If you don’t, I won’t let go!”

“…Fine! I’m not mad!”

Su Yuning rubbed her wrist and muttered, “Jerk!”

“Okay, okay, I’m a jerk!”

“Yuning, since you don’t want to… I won’t do it again. But don’t avoid me. You can consider me your confidant, like a close friend!”

“…?!”

Su Yuning was taken aback.

Confidant? A close friend of the opposite sex… Isn’t that just a secret romantic relationship? The chances of them just being friends were as unlikely as a man and a woman meeting at a hotel at midnight to discuss a script…

Especially since Wang Haoran had just kissed her…

But looking at Wang Haoran’s hopeful eyes, Su Yuning couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

In the end, she nodded slightly.

“…Okay.”

“Then, I’m going home now!”

Blushing, she hurried away.

***

At the Su family home, her parents were thrilled to hear their daughter had secured a partnership with the Wang Group and insisted on making a lavish meal to celebrate.

Of course, that was just talk; they never left the couch. The only one busy in the kitchen was their son-in-law, Gu Yan.

Despite doing all the housework and getting scolded by his mother-in-law, Gu Yan always had a smile on his face.

He was eagerly waiting for his wife’s return. Initially, he had married into the Su family to fulfill his mother’s dying wish and had no feelings for Su Yuning. But after three years together, he had grown to like this strong and beautiful woman.

He planned to stay and protect her forever.

“Yuning always worries about the company and looks so serious. Now that she’s secured such a big deal, she should be happy, right?”

“I’ll make something delicious for her!”

Thinking about seeing his wife’s smile, Gu Yan cooked with even more enthusiasm.
