Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Almost There
That line again…
Jiang You was really curious, just how shy could someone be?
Actually afraid to meet her?
“I don’t look fierce, and I’m a girl, we’re all girls, what is there to be shy about?” she asked.
Wan Muqi: “That, I’m not really sure about, I’ll ask for you when I’m free.”
Jiang You: “Just tell me directly who it is from the driver’s seat, and I’ll go ask myself.”
“…”
Gu Beiyan took her hand and persuaded her: “Alright, when Wan doesn’t want to talk, you can’t pry a word out of him no matter what, don’t forget what he does for a living. When he’s ready to talk, he will, and the day will come when you’ll find out, don’t worry, just sit tight and be good.”
Jiang You: “…”
“No, I just want to know.”
“Be good, I’ll grill your favorite chicken wings for you later, today you can eat your fill.”
Gu Beiyan coaxed her softly.
Wan Muqi is famously tight-lipped.
Not to mention Jiang You, even Jiang Yan might not be able to get it out of him if Wan himself doesn’t wish to speak.
Moreover, anyone slightly attentive would notice.
Too bad, their little Jiang You isn’t too meticulous-minded, so she can’t figure it out.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to tell her, mainly because her brother and sister-in-law told them not to spread the word.
Because An Mi is too modest, plus, this matter hasn’t even been settled yet.
Wouldn’t want to scare her away and have Wan come looking for them to settle accounts.
This wife, he really can’t afford to lose.
With Gu Beiyan around, Jiang You finally calmed down for a while and stopped asking further questions.
An Mi also heaved a sigh of relief.
With Jiang You around, An Mi didn’t even dare to exchange glances with Wan Muqi.
She didn’t know why she was so afraid.
…
“Siyang, you’re not getting any younger, isn’t it about time to find a girlfriend?”
Jiang You just can’t sit still.
Seeing that she could no longer meddle with Wan Muqi, she turned her attention to another single person.
Xing Siyang: “…”
He indicated he wasn’t too keen on answering this question.
During the new year period, his elders at home had already asked him all around.
So, now when he hears this question, he almost has a conditioned reflex…
Xing Siyang smiled: “If you switch to another topic with me, maybe I’ll engage more.”
Jiang You: “…”
How come one after another, no one wants to talk about this with her?
“I’m just concerned that being single for too long might harm your health. I just want to care a little about you. If you don’t yet have a girl you fancy, then I can introduce you to someone. But then, certainly no one with as great a personality as me, haha, after all, Siyang, you’ve missed out on me. I now belong to my Beiyan.”
“…”
Xing Siyang looked at her proud expression and laughed helplessly.
“What, are you done acting and now switching careers to become a matchmaker?” Xing Siyang teased.
Jiang You: “Being an actress doesn’t stop me from playing matchmaker in my free time. That’s called accumulating experience, just in case one day I get a role with this character, can’t I make use of it then?”
“Siyang, don’t change the subject, just tell me, when are you planning to find a girlfriend? If you don’t, I’ll get busy finding one for you.”
“You’re so handsome, with such great genes, totally prime material, it’d be a waste not to have a girlfriend, not marry and have kids.”
“Our nation’s flowers are about to miss out on several blossoms.”
“…”
Jiang You’s little mouth kept blabbering non-stop.
Xing Siyang couldn’t get a word in edgewise.
He signalled with his eyes to Gu Beiyan who was sitting behind Jiang You, hinting for him to do something about it.
Gu Beiyan pretended not to see it.
This was something he dared not meddle with.
Jiang You had always been concerned about Xing Siyang’s affairs, always wanting to find him a girlfriend.
Xing Siyang, seeing his evasive look, was speechless: “…”
“Siyang, I’m talking to you, don’t space out!”
Noticing his lack of focus, Jiang You quickly called him back.
Xing Siyang sighed inwardly: “I’m listening, go ahead.”
She can say whatever she wants; in one ear and out the other would be fine.
“…”
Following that, no matter what Jiang You said, he either responded with “Oh” or “Hmm,” or just nodded his head.
“Then I’ll introduce one of my female friends to you tomorrow,” Jiang You said, seizing the opportunity.
“I won’t be free tomorrow, there’s work at the station,” Xing Siyang responded quickly.
Jiang You: “You can’t possibly be busy the whole day? Besides, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.”
Xing Siyang: “No kidding, I really don’t have free time. You know how it is in criminal investigation, we have to go out and once we’re out, it’s for the whole day. I’m on duty tomorrow, no holiday.”
“…”
Jiang You: “Why do I feel like you’re just making excuses to avoid my question?”
Xing Siyang said unflinchingly: “If you don’t believe me, you can check with our team tomorrow.”
This time, Jiang You wasn’t easily fooled, “You’re their captain; they have to follow your orders when you say so. How could I get the truth if I ask them?”
Xing Siyang said very calmly: “Do I look like someone who would abuse my power?”
Jiang You looked at him seriously and then nodded, “You look exactly like that kind.”
“I don’t care, you have to free up some time for me tomorrow, one hour, or even half an hour would do.”
Xing Siyang couldn’t argue with her.
But he neither agreed nor declined; he chose to remain silent.
Luckily, at that moment, Su He walked over.
“Siyang, I need to talk to you about something,” Su He said.
She was unaware that Jiang You was enthusiastically trying to set him up with a girlfriend.
And Xing Siyang, seeing her approaching, was as if he saw a lifesaver.
“Great, I happen to have time for a chat now, let’s go.”
He quickly stood up and left.
Su He was still caught off guard.
“What’s going on?”
Su He turned to Jiang You to ask.
Jiang You: “I’m trying to set Siyang up with a girlfriend. He promised to meet my friend tomorrow.”
Su He was slightly surprised, did Siyang really agree?
Based on her understanding of him, he probably wouldn’t have agreed to Jiang You’s plan.
Even when the Xing Family elders tried to set him up, he wasn’t interested, let alone Jiang You’s offer.
“…”
Seeing Xing Siyang leaving, Jiang You looked around at the other people present.
Apart from Xiao Si, Jiang Nanche, and Long Hesong, these three single guys, everyone else was already taken.
When Xiao Si saw her glance in his direction, he hurriedly said: “Xiao You, don’t look at me, I temporarily don’t need a girlfriend, no need to set me up.”
They had all overheard her conversation with Xing Siyang.
This girl indeed had the potential to be a matchmaker.
Jiang Nanche followed up: “You don’t need to look at me either; although we’re of the same age, you’re a few months older than me. If you haven’t married yet, I’m in even less of a hurry to find a wife.”
While eating a chicken leg, Long Hesong said: “I’m still young and not in a rush. When you and Beiyan get married and if I’m still single, it won’t be too late for you to introduce someone to me then.”
“…”
Jiang You is now inexplicably obsessed with fussing over the marital affairs and romantic situations of those around her.
As it neared eleven o’clock, Jiang Yan began to “rush people out.”
“Beiyan, I’m going to stay at your place tonight.”
Jiang You’s audacity has now grown to the point where she can say such things in front of her brother.
Standing behind her, Jiang Yan repeated his usual line: “Jiang You, can’t you be a little more reserved? If you don’t want to be reserved, at least wait until I’m not around. Whatever you want to say when I’m gone, I won’t stop you!”
Turning around, Jiang You muttered, “Brother, can’t you be a little more open-minded? Beiyan and I are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship; isn’t cohabitation normal? Besides, the dangerous one isn’t me, it’s Beiyan. Even if I stood naked in front of him, he could restrain himself. Do you think it matters if I’m reserved?”
“…”
Just as Jiang Nanche, Long Hesong, An Mi, and others were getting ready to leave, they heard her say this.
The three of them immediately dared not move, wishing they could just find a hole to crawl into.
Was this something they were supposed to hear?
Jiang Yan was rendered speechless by her retort.
Gu Beiyan, on the other hand, promptly covered her mouth with his hand, preventing her from spilling any more secrets.
Although everyone present was familiar and these words wouldn’t spread, it would still be better to leave a good impression for the future encounters.
“I apologize for the embarrassment, she just loves to talk nonsense. Everybody, please disperse and go rest.”
After saying this, Gu Beiyan carried her off with one arm.
Jiang Yan wouldn’t stop him from taking her away now. Seeing the man’s expression, he seemed eager for someone to whisk his sister off.
…
Once Jiang You had been carried into the car by Gu Beiyan, the man finally released his hand from her mouth.
“Beiyan, were you trying to suffocate your little cutie?”
Jiang You sat in the passenger seat, looking up pitifully at the man in front of her.
Gu Beiyan: “…”
Before he could even say anything, she already looked aggrieved.
True to her profession as an actress; she could turn on the emotional display at will.
Gu Beiyan leaned forward, propping his arms on the passenger seat, and gazed deeply at her.
Jiang You showed no intention of avoiding, instead, she leaned in closer of her own accord.
Her slender hands quickly wrapped around his neck.
“Beiyan, do you want to kiss me?”
Her eyebrows quirked up slightly, fluttering her eyes like shimmering stars.
Whether intentionally or not, her breath fell hot and heavy upon his lips.
And those slightly restless hands of hers were like soft feathers, teasingly caressing.
After Jiang You looped her arms around his neck, her dexterous fingers slipped into the back of his collar.
The depths of Gu Beiyan’s dark eyes grew even more profound, and his Adam’s apple began to roll restlessly.
He leaned in, gave her cherry-like lips a light peck, and then retreated.
“I really can’t handle you.”
He freed one hand to pull hers down.
Then he turned her body around and swiftly buckled her seat belt.
With a “bang,” he closed the passenger door.
He quickly walked around to the driver’s seat and got into the car himself.
If it weren’t for the fact that others might come out later, he definitely would have kissed her fiercely right there.
This girl really knows how to tempt him into committing crimes anywhere and anytime.
“…”
He endured all the way to Lanyue Villa.
Just as they entered the foyer, Jiang You found herself pinned against the wall by the man embracing her waist.
With a sweep of his long leg, he closed the door.
“Beiyan…”
The rest of Jiang You’s words were swallowed up by the man.
This kiss came somewhat fiercely.
Jiang You herself was a bit caught off guard at the beginning.
The light in the living room flickered dim and bright, but the temperature was suddenly rising.
The woman’s panting sounded like a crisp and pleasant bell echoing through the spacious living room.
“Beiyan, shall we move to the couch, okay?”
Jiang You whispered into the man’s ear.
Her voice was so coquettish and seductive, it made one’s heart itch.
Even more so for Gu Beiyan, who was moved by affection.
Upon hearing her words, the fire in the man’s lower abdomen grew even fiercer.
He simply lifted her up and headed to the couch in the living room.
The kiss transitioned from intense to gentle, then back from gentle to intense.
It kept changing, again and again, without stopping.
Just then, Jiang You suddenly felt a chill on her upper body and realized that most of her clothes had already slipped off.
She wore a strappy dress today, with straps on both sides of the hem that were easy to pull, loosening with a light tug.
Her eyes were slightly reddened, gazing up at the man above her, her emotions growing more excited.
The event she had long anticipated, could it finally happen tonight?
While pondering this, her hands became more restless.
She directly pulled up the hem tucked under the man’s waistband and swiftly slid her hands in, immediately touching the man’s defined eight-pack abs.
Wow… these muscles are so tempting…
Though she had touched them before, it seemed like she could never get enough.
“Beiyan, will you give it to me, please?”
Jiang You pleaded eagerly, whispering in his ear.
And it was precisely this sentence that pulled the man, who was on the verge of losing his reason, back from danger’s edge.
The man on top of her suddenly halted his movements, propping his arms beside her, looking down at her intensely.
His forehead was throbbing with veins, drenched in sweat, his eyes aflame with passion.
He tried to suppress his voice, whispering, “Be good, not now.”
Jiang You looked at him in astonishment.
Her hands did not cease their movements.
In fact, she boldly continued exploring downward, edging towards the danger zone.
But Gu Beiyan was quick to grasp her hand.
“Beiyan, you clearly already…”
Gu Beiyan planted a kiss on her forehead and then withdrew himself from her.
Jiang You: “…”
What even is this, we were just a step away.
Why?
Jiang You sat up from the couch, looking at him, with an expression full of grievance.
Gu Beiyan sighed internally at the sight of her slightly disheveled clothes, as well as the kiss marks all over her neck and clavicle.
He then helped her straighten her clothes.
He deliberately ignored the expression on her face at that moment, which was particularly tempting because she, too, was moved.
“Beiyan, is there something troubling you that you can’t disclose?”
Jiang You inquired sincerely.
Otherwise, she really couldn’t understand how he could put the brakes on at this point.
How strong must his self-control be?
“If there’s something troubling you, you need to tell me promptly. Don’t worry, I won’t despise you, I’ll ask my sister-in-law to treat you.”
“…”
