Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 267 They already kissed, why are you still angry?

Wen Yan realized after she finished speaking that what she said sounded like a confession!

It's even more intoxicating than a confession of love.

She and Gu Yanci were still arguing, so why was she already trying to appease him?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanci's body moved faster than his mind, and before Wen Yan could react, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.

The kiss came suddenly and fiercely. Wen Yan was still immersed in the intense emotions from before when the man's tongue forcefully broke in, sweeping around like a robber entering a foreign land, licking and crushing every moist corner.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Yan felt a little breathless and realized what was happening, so she pushed the man away.

This action, however, provoked Gu Yanci.

He clasped Wen Yan's hands behind her back and deepened the kiss.

Only through deeper possession and more intimate contact can Gu Yanci release the extremely complex emotions in his heart at this moment.

Wen Yan's legs went weak, and by the time Gu Yanci let go of her, she was being supported by one of the man's arms.

Wen Yan felt somewhat embarrassed, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She forced back the tears welling up in her eyes, glared angrily at the man in front of her, and grabbed his other misbehaving arm.

"Gu Yanci, I'm still angry!"

Gu Yanci reluctantly pulled his hand out from inside her clothes: "Zhizhi."

He simply called her by her nickname, his voice low and deep, but after calling her, he said nothing. His deep, phoenix-shaped eyes were fixed on her, like a beast locking onto its prey.

Wen Yan pushed him away, her beautiful face flushed with a mixture of the lingering blush from their passionate kiss and her current anger.

"I'm sorry," Gu Yanci said.

"Sorry for what?"

"..." Gu Yanci felt that he had already apologized for what he should have done, and for a moment he didn't know where else he had gone wrong.

Is it helpful to apologize repeatedly?

As he was pondering, Wen Yan pushed him out and snorted as she closed the door.

Gu Yanci: "...?"

You've already kissed, why are you still angry?

Didn't they already communicate?

He answered her questions exactly as she asked them, so why was she still angry?

Gu Yanci was somewhat confused, but he didn't intend to dwell on it—reason told him that it was normal to be confused, and he only needed to know three things:

First, although Wen Yan is still angry.

Secondly, Wen Yan has no intention of getting a divorce.

Third, and most importantly, Wen Yan loves him more than her brother.

……

The smart home system turned on the lights the moment Wenyan stepped into the entryway.

The door was closed, and the room was so quiet that only Wen Yan's breathing could be heard.

Wen Yan recalled everything that had just happened, the words she had spoken, and Gu Yanci's kiss, all of which flashed rapidly through her mind.

I'm angry not because of any objective reason, I'm just angry.

While the two of them were still trying to resolve the issue, Gu Yanci suddenly became sexually aroused and kissed her, even touching her inappropriately!

She was also angry at herself for unknowingly becoming the one to confess her feelings after Gu Yanci's terrible behavior!

He must never be forgiven so easily!

What a scoundrel! So despicable!

"Ding-dong-"

I received a WeChat message on my phone.

That jerk of a man texted: "Are you coming home tonight?"

Wen Yan didn't want to talk to him.

Gu Yanci continued: "What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it."

Does this person not understand what it means that she's still angry?

I don't understand what she meant by locking him out.

Wen Yan was so angry that her teeth itched, and she had an urge to turn around and go out to yell at someone, but she held back.

The third message came in: [ZhiZhi]

There were only two words, and no follow-up.

Gu Yanci wasn't a talkative person; he was most adept at conversation at work, and most often when he was criticizing his subordinates. Perhaps unsure what to say, he simply sent a name.

In short, it's pure harassment.

Wen Yan replied: [No reply]

—I'm not going home, so it doesn't matter what I cook in the kitchen, just don't ask me to cook!

Gu Yanci: [What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?]

The subtext is that he will bring breakfast.

The man has improved; he no longer threatens her or forces her to go home in such a domineering and forceful manner as before.

Wen Yan's mood improved, and she was willing to reply to her message again: 【Not eating】

Outside.

Gu Yanci felt a sense of relief upon receiving her second message.

He thought she was angry and wouldn't contact him again.

Gu Yanci waited outside for another half hour, but the door remained unmoved, showing no sign of opening. Zhou Qi sent a third urgent text message. The daytime meeting had been postponed to the evening, and the time had come, but the most important person—the boss—had not shown up.

When Wen Yan checked the camera for the fourth time, the man's figure finally disappeared into the corridor.

The phone rang again.

Wen Yan subconsciously thought it was Gu Yanci, but she didn't expect it to be Gu Jinzhi.

"Wen Yan, did you and my brother fight again?" Gu Jinzhi asked, her voice full of gossip.

Wen Yan: "...Where did you hear that?"

Surely not everyone can infiltrate the Imperial University of Beijing?

Gu Jinzhi said, "My brother has missed a day of work. The only person who can make a workaholic stop working is you, isn't he?"

Wen Yan remembered that this person also had the ability to see and hear things from afar, and immediately said, "Don't go around spreading rumors. He's not here with me right now."

Gu Jinzhi's eyes darted around: "Go out? You mean don't tell Grandma?"

Wen Yan was quick to agree: "I'll give you ten thousand yuan for pocket money."

"Ah—" Gu Jinzhi sighed with regret, "But Grandpa came to inspect the company today, and Grandma came to see Third Brother. They already know that Third Brother went to the miners to find you!"

Wen Yan: "?"

Wen Yan didn't want her relationship with Gu Yanci to cause trouble for Old Madam Gu, and at the same time, she felt embarrassed.

She sat on the sofa, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if Old Madam Gu would call to inquire about the situation.

However, before Madam Gu could call, Luo Beiqing sent a new message—a news article with the headline:

[OM Trading's Asia-Pacific headquarters has been established in Beijing, and the boss's wife is none other than the 'deceased' Mrs. Wen!]

Clicking the link reveals a picture of Nan Yun, Daniel, and Nan Zhiyi, all dressed in elegant attire, standing on a ribbon-cutting platform to cut the ribbon for their new company. The family of three looks exceptionally harmonious.

Nan Yun has officially made her public debut.
