Chapter 99: Go Ahead And Kiss If You Want

At the thought of this, Gu Zheng did not go upstairs anymore. He turned around and sat on the sofa, stretching his limbs. “You care about me? Why don’t you accompany me to take a shower, then? That way, I won’t be afraid even if I slip.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

What was this man thinking?

Gu Zheng did not mind her silence and reached out to take a cigarette from the table. Before he could light it, he saw Qiao Xi lean over. “Can I light it for you?”

Gu Zheng’s fingers that were holding the cigarette paused, then he raised his hand and tossed the lighter to Qiao Xi. He slowly said, “Okay.”

Qiao Xi approached with the lighter and found a very big problem. Gu Zheng was leaning against the sofa with his legs stretched out. He was taking up a lot of space. The cigarette was in his mouth, and Gu Zheng gave off a very different feeling. He was like a ruffian who could not be provoked.

Qiao Xi’s heart was beating violently. This posture… If she wanted to light a cigarette for him, she would have to move closer to his chest. However, he was tall and had long legs. If she wanted to move closer to his chest, she would have to lean forward…

This posture would be a test for her balancing skills!

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and felt that she should take back what she just said. It was just lighting a cigarette, right? This man could do it himself, but when she thought about how she still needed Gu Zheng to kiss her later, she gritted her teeth. It was just lighting a cigarette, what was so difficult about it?!

At the thought of this, she pressed the lighter and carefully placed the flame in front of Gu Zheng before aiming at the cigarette butt. When she was doing all this, her gaze was serious. The flame of the lighter shone in her eyes, making them look bright and fiery. Her lips were slightly pursed because of her nervousness, making her look easy to kiss.

Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

Under Qiao Xi’s careful actions, she successfully lit the cigarette in Gu Zheng’s mouth. She suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ve lit it.”

Gu Zheng glanced at her indifferently with a faint smile. “Mrs. Gu, you’re really different from usual today.”

Qiao Xi’s eyes moved as she found an excuse. “I’m just thanking you for bringing me to the Meng family’s banquet today. Speaking of which, you did such a big thing for me, yet I only lit a cigarette for you. It really isn’t right. How about I kiss you?”

Gu Zheng took a drag of his cigarette and looked at Qiao Xi’s eyes that were filled with anticipation through the smoke. It was indeed as he had guessed. This woman came looking for him for the sake of wanting to taste food.

Although he had already guessed it, he was still a little depressed when the truth came out. Did this woman only treat him as a tool to recover her taste buds? If another man could help her recover her taste buds, would she treat them the same way?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Gu Zheng simply went to the sofa. “Alright, I like Mrs. Gu’s reward very much.”

Qiao Xi’s eyes lit up. “Really? You agree?”

Gu Zheng nodded.

Qiao Xi’s heart was beating like a drum as she closed her eyes and leaned over. She swore that she would not mock Gu Zheng in her heart anymore. This man was clearly very easy to talk to and was not a scumbag at all!

Along with Qiao Xi’s movements, the distance between the two of them grew closer and closer. When she was only a fist’s distance away, Qiao Xi shakily opened her eyes. Her curled eyelashes trembled, causing one’s heart to itch.

Gu Zheng said in a hoarse voice, “Mrs. Gu, you want to kiss me…”

Qiao Xi was in an excited state and did not hear Gu Zheng’s words at all. She just wanted to quickly kiss him. If she kissed him, she would be able to eat a delicious Michelin feast!

However, just as she was about to touch Gu Zheng’s lips, he suddenly moved back.

Qiao Xi: “??”

Gu Zheng turned his head and did not look at her. “I suddenly don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s better if you don’t kiss me. Or if you really want to kiss me, why don’t you do it after we return to the room?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She swore that this scumbag was doing this on purpose! He was playing with her! When she thought of how she had taken his jacket and lit a cigarette, Qiao Xi pouted gloomily. “You’re playing with me.”

It was rare to see her childish side. Gu Zheng was a little surprised. He tapped his fingers on his knee. “You want to kiss me? Actually, it’s not impossible.”

Qiao Xi glanced at him with the intention of seeing what other strange ideas this man could come up with to torture her.

Gu Zheng bent down slightly and said in her ear, “Come with me to visit the Gu family in a few days. The Gu family has been wanting me to get married and have a loving wife. Do you understand what I mean?”

Qiao Xi understood what he meant. Gu Zheng wanted to bring her to the Gu family and pretend to be intimate with her in front of everyone in the Gu family.
