Chapter 92 - 91: Li Mengqing’s Stubbornness

Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Li Mengqing’s Stubbornness

The next morning.

Gao Yuan woke up at six as usual and went out for a walk.

This action earned him high praise from his parents.

After walking for five kilometers, Gao Yuan returned home to find that breakfast was already made.

During the meal, his father, Gao Jianmin, suggested a family lunch and emphasized that Gao Yuan should bring his girlfriend.

Gao Yuan was more than happy to oblige.

After all, Lin Wanyu had come to Xudu City, so it was a good opportunity for a formal introduction.

It would completely put an end to his parents’ attempts to control his marital life.

He actually understood his parents to some extent. They felt they were getting old, and the sooner he got married, the sooner a weight would be lifted from their minds.

After all, every parent worries themselves sick over their children.

From birth, to school, to dating, to marriage, and to having kids of their own.

This was love, an irrepressible love that came with being a parent.

In the past, Gao Yuan had mostly failed to understand. He’d seen it all as control, feeling nothing but endless annoyance and pressure.

Now, he understood a little better.

He quickly slurped down a few mouthfuls of congee, then got up to get ready and head out.

Gao Yuan went straight to the hotel where Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were staying.

He tried calling several times but couldn’t get through, so he had no choice but to knock on the door.

After knocking for a long time, he finally managed to wake Lin Wanyu up.

When Lin Wanyu opened the door, rubbing her eyes, she was greeted by a pair of large, ice-cold hands.

"Ah!"

Lin Wanyu shrieked and, like a startled rabbit, quickly broke free from Gao Yuan’s grasp and dove straight under the covers.

Just then, Li Mengqing was also startled awake by the scream. She looked on in confusion at Lin Wanyu, who had buried her entire head under the blanket.

Gao Yuan was also taken aback by Lin Wanyu’s shriek.

He had only meant to tease her a little; he hadn’t expected such a huge reaction from Lin Wanyu.

Gao Yuan’s first instinct was to shut the door. ’That scream probably woke up half the floor,’ he thought. ’They’re probably cursing us from under their covers right now.’

’And if anyone with a morning exercise routine heard that, who knows if they might have been scared limp.’

"What happened to you two?"

By the time Gao Yuan walked over to the bed, Lin Wanyu had already poked her head out from under the covers and was pitifully clinging to Li Mengqing.

"Gao Yuan bullied me!"

Her tone and expression were truly pitiful!

"Hehe, I walked here, so my hands are almost frozen stiff,"

Gao Yuan said, sitting down on the edge of the bed. He even pretended he was about to stick his hand under Lin Wanyu’s covers.

Suddenly,

He felt a tug on his left hand.

Looking up, he saw that Li Mengqing had already pulled his hand under her covers.

The next moment, he felt his palm press against a patch of warm skin. He gave it a squeeze.

It was Li Mengqing’s stomach; he had just squeezed her toned abs.

Gao Yuan yanked his hand back in a flash and shot up from the bed.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of Lin Wanyu seeing, but that he couldn’t bear to do it.

A memory of warming his ex-girlfriend’s feet instantly surfaced in his mind—how she would place her ice-cold feet on his stomach without any warning.

He couldn’t protest; he had to put on a loving expression as if to say, ’I love you, let me warm you up.’

But Gao Yuan would never forget that coldness, a chill that seeped from his stomach straight to his heart.

In that instant, Gao Yuan’s eyes reddened.

He forced himself not to think about it, barely managing to hold back his tears.

So,

When Li Mengqing had placed his cold hand on her stomach, Gao Yuan had instantly snatched it away.

He had experienced that chill himself and was unwilling to let Li Mengqing go through it too.

Even when he was teasing Lin Wanyu just now, he had only touched her for a moment.

At that moment,

Li Mengqing once again held out her hand to Gao Yuan.

Her eyes watched him calmly.

Gao Yuan sighed internally. He could see the stubbornness in Li Mengqing’s eyes.

’Damn, why is this woman so persistent!’

Gao Yuan cursed inwardly before saying aloud, "I’m not cold. I’m warm all over. I just need to rub my hands together."

As he spoke, Gao Yuan began rubbing his hands together.

But Li Mengqing didn’t lower her outstretched hand. She just continued to watch Gao Yuan in silence.

’I give up!’

Gao Yuan could only sit down again and hold out his hand.

This time, Li Mengqing didn’t place Gao Yuan’s hand on her stomach. Instead, she tucked it under her leg.

"Gao Yuan, you’re secretly touching Qingqing!"

Seeing Gao Yuan’s left hand under Li Mengqing’s covers, Lin Wanyu suddenly pointed at him and laughed.

Before Gao Yuan could say anything, Li Mengqing turned and shot Lin Wanyu a glare.

This was the first time Gao Yuan had ever seen Li Mengqing glare at Lin Wanyu, and that one look made Lin Wanyu’s smile vanish.

She saw that Gao Yuan’s arm wasn’t moving around under the covers and seemed to realize something.

Lin Wanyu glared back at Li Mengqing, then grabbed Gao Yuan’s other hand and held it against her chest.

This scene left Gao Yuan not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The wave of emotion he had just felt was completely washed away by Lin Wanyu’s cute antics.

"Can you two grow up a little!"

Gao Yuan pulled his hands away from them both.

By now, not only were his hands no longer cold, but his heart had also warmed by several degrees.

Sitting in the lounge chair by the window, Gao Yuan once again marveled at his twisted fate.

’Who would have thought I’d be blessed with such good fortune in my thirties!’

After all his antics, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were wide awake.

It was early in the morning, and now they were both feeling hungry.

"Gao Yuan, I’m hungry!"

Lin Wanyu shifted around under the covers, poking her head out from the other side of the blanket to speak to Gao Yuan.

"Get up, then! I’ll take you out for a delicious Xudu breakfast."

While the two women were getting dressed, Gao Yuan tried to make himself inconspicuous, watching them in silence.

But Lin Wanyu promptly chased him into the bathroom.

Although he had been banished to the bathroom, Gao Yuan wasn’t the least bit unhappy.

You see,

The bathroom in this room had a large glass wall facing the bed, and the switch for the privacy curtain was inside the bathroom.

But the next moment, Gao Yuan was dumbfounded.

The two women didn’t change on the bed, but took their clothes to a spot hidden from the glass wall’s view.

What’s more, Gao Yuan saw Lin Wanyu, dressed in her underwear, make a face at him.

’Damn her!’

’This is a total insult!’

If Li Mengqing hadn’t been there, and if he wasn’t so unsure of her attitude, Gao Yuan would have stormed out to teach Lin Wanyu a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

At this thought, Gao Yuan suddenly remembered that the system had rewarded him with a Telepathy Card yesterday.

’If I used it to connect my mind with Li Mengqing’s, wouldn’t I... ’

BANG!

The bathroom door was thrown open.

"Gao Yuan, I’ve come to rescue you!"

"Hurry up and watch a beauty get dressed!"

Lin Wanyu’s sudden appearance at the door interrupted Gao Yuan’s thoughts.

Hearing Lin Wanyu’s words, Gao Yuan looked at her, already fully dressed, and immediately guessed she wanted him to watch Li Mengqing.

He instantly appeared outside the door, only to see that Li Mengqing was also fully dressed and sitting in a chair, watching him coldly.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter erupted from Lin Wanyu behind him.

He had been played by Lin Wanyu again!

Gao Yuan gave Li Mengqing an awkward smile, then turned to Lin Wanyu and mouthed something to her.

Others might not have understood what he mouthed, but Lin Wanyu got it instantly.

She shot Gao Yuan a glare that was all bark and no bite, grabbed her bag from the table, and said, "Take us to breakfast."
