Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Young Master Tang Gets Jealous
Tang Yuxiu gently cupped Gu Yan’s face with both hands, his eyes burning with intensity. "Go check out that piano and play a piece for me."
Gu Yan broke into a brilliant smile, dazzling. "Okay."
She had once imagined playing the piano for him alone, and now that dream was coming true.
Gu Yan walked to the piano and sat down, gazing at it with an almost reverent look.
This was the piano Tang Yuxiu had given her, her own piano.
The smile on her lips never faded as she lifted the piano lid and slowly placed her hands on the row of black and white keys.
As she pressed the first note, she was immersed in the world of the piano.
She was playing Beethoven’s "Moonlight Sonata."
Given the situation and setting, this piece was absolutely fitting.
The gentle and flowing music was born at her fingertips, and Tang Yuxiu watched her intoxicated expression intently, his eyes slowly filled with tenderness.
When the piece ended, Gu Yan suddenly let out a low chuckle, revealing her utterly satisfied mood.
Tang Yuxiu, too, was infected by her cheerful mood, the corners of his lips curling into a light smile.
With her so happy and content, the piano gift was well worth it.
"From now on, this room will be your exclusive music room."
Gu Yan looked up, her eyes moist. She stood up and hugged his waist, burying her head in his chest.
"Thank you, thank you, Tang Yuxiu."
Thank you for realizing my dream, thank you for giving me a future.
Tang Yuxiu’s lips curved slightly, "You never have to thank me. What I give you, just accept with peace of mind."
Gu Yan felt deeply touched, "How can one just accept so directly and with peace of mind? I need time to adjust."
"Take all the time you need." After all, we have a lifetime to spend.
Gu Yan raised her head from Tang Yuxiu’s embrace, the gentle overhead light illuminating her face, her eyes seemingly veiled with a hazy glow, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Tang Yuxiu, you must clear all the obstacles in our future path. If I can’t move them, I’ll have to watch you do it."
Tang Yuxiu patted her hair, "Don’t worry, leave it all to me."
As long as you stand by my side, I’ll handle everything.
Gu Yan smiled, never having felt so at ease as she did at this moment since being with Tang Yuxiu.
It truly made her believe that they indeed had a future and could walk this path together.
At that moment, Gu Yan secretly made up her mind, no matter how thorny the road ahead, no matter how many people opposed them or thought she was not worthy of Tang Yuxiu, she would persist, waiting for Tang Yuxiu to overcome every obstacle and promise her a lifetime of stability and peace!
She nodded vigorously, "I believe in you."
I believe in you so much, don’t let me down.
With Tang Yuxiu’s abilities, she thought, there would never be a day he disappoints her.
Gu Yan tiptoed and lightly kissed the man’s lips, not going deep, quickly retreating.
Yet it was enough to make the man in front of her go from a moment of daze to a heart filled with joy.
As she withdrew, Tang Yuxiu wouldn’t allow it.
She finally gave him a kiss of her own accord; if he let it go, he’d be doing himself a disservice.
The man’s large hand grasped the back of her head, his lips pressing down with a force completely different from her surface-level kiss. His kiss always carried his characteristic dominance and fervor, leaving her no chance to retreat, swiftly taking over her senses.
Gu Yan felt dizzy from his kiss, instinctively holding his waist tightly, relying on him to support her weight, fearing that if she loosened her grip, her legs would give way and she’d fall.
That would be really embarrassing.
At this moment, Gu Yan couldn’t think about how, with Young Master Tang holding her, there was no chance of her falling.
Passion surged in just an instant.
Gu Yan felt weak and powerless, allowing Tang Yuxiu to rob her of her breath.
"Zheng..." The sound of multiple piano keys being pressed simultaneously echoed in the room, piercing the eardrums.
In the midst of Tang Yuxiu’s assault, Gu Yan suddenly snapped back to clarity and seized the moment to push him away with force while he was still captivated.
Only then did Gu Yan realize they had somehow moved to the front of the piano, and Tang Yuxiu instinctively pressed her body down, onto the piano.
Gu Yan immediately turned around, looking at the piano with a heartache.
Tang Yuxiu, caught off guard by her push, stumbled back a few steps and also came back to his senses, feeling very dissatisfied with her actions of pushing him away just for a piano.
He hadn’t forgotten last time in his office, she pushed him away for a similar broken piano.
Damn, is it that precious? It’s not broken.
It wouldn’t break at all!
At this moment, Young Master Tang couldn’t help but feel vexed. Perhaps this piano gift shouldn’t have been given! It stole Gu Yan’s attention!
Young Master Tang was very displeased, taking a few steps forward to grab Gu Yan’s wrist. "It won’t cause any problem, don’t worry about it."
Look at how distressed she was. Has she ever cared this much about him?
Young Master Tang started to feel secretly jealous of a piano.
Gu Yan was pulled aside by him, but her eyes still lingered on the piano as she complained, "What a great piano, why do you have to be so eager?"
So, is she blaming him now?
Young Master Tang gave a cold laugh, "Don’t forget who initiated it."
Gu Yan, recalling the kiss she offered, blushed slightly and, for the moment, diverted her attention from the piano, stammering, "I backed away first; you’re the one who couldn’t control yourself."
In the end, it’s still his fault.
Fine, let it be his fault then.
Young Master Tang pulled her over, held the back of her head with one hand, and kissed her deeply once again.
But this time, Young Master Tang stopped short, because there was a very annoying "love rival" here!
Young Master Tang picked her up, quickly walked out of the room, and carried her directly upstairs.
Gu Yan initially blinked in confusion, then realized what he was about to do, and blushed, burying her face in his chest.
She was still aching down there, and yet he wanted more!
But what could she do if she couldn’t refuse?
Her body was placed on the big bed, and his tall figure covered her. Gu Yan could feel the scorching heat from Tang Yuxiu, as if he wanted to melt her and fuse her into his body, inseparable from each other.
Another night of lingering passion followed.
In a daze, Gu Yan seemed to feel Tang Yuxiu carrying her to the bathroom to clean her body. After a while, she felt something cool being applied down there, soothing the burning pain and helping her to sleep more soundly.
She was asleep and couldn’t see the heartache in Tang Yuxiu’s eyes.
Alas, having just started tasting pleasures of the flesh, even for him, it was hard to control his desires for her, leaving her so exhausted.
In the deep of night, he turned off the bedroom lights, held her in his arms, and slept soundly.
The next day, Gu Yan woke up with her biological clock, moved a little, and though she still felt a bit sore, she noticed it felt a lot better down there.
She wanted to get out of bed, only to be dragged back by an arm across her waist.
Tang Yuxiu pressed her into his arms, eyes closed, his voice husky with drowsiness, "No need to get up so early, if you’re tired, don’t go to work."
Gu Yan helplessly replied, "I already took a day off yesterday, I can’t take another today. Besides, you’re the boss, there’s a lot waiting for you to handle."
Tang Yuxiu slightly opened his eyes, sighed, "You’re so considerate."
"Of course I am," Gu Yan smiled.
"Sleep a little longer."
"I need to make breakfast," Gu Yan said as she tried to push him away.
"Don’t bother, let’s go out for breakfast later. It’s better to get more rest, you don’t want to be in low spirits at work, do you?"
Why did the last sentence sound a bit off to Gu Yan?
Without thinking much about it, Gu Yan found Tang Yuxiu’s words quite reasonable, and she really didn’t want to get up so early, feeling truly tired, with her eyes still protesting against her rationality.
So Gu Yan justifiably lay back down to continue sleeping.
She fell asleep again in no time.
Tang Yuxiu opened his eyes, looked at the sleeping Gu Yan, and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.
Alas, he still wore her out.
Young Master Tang silently made up his mind that next time he wouldn’t tire her out like this, that he must control himself.
Yet, unfortunately, the next time, and the time after that, Young Master Tang still couldn’t restrain himself.
When Gu Yan woke again, she realized it was already midday!
The spot next to her in bed was empty, long since cold, and she didn’t know how long Tang Yuxiu had been up or where he’d gone.
All she knew was that she still had to go to work, but she’d overslept!
She hurriedly got out of bed, found clothes to wear, rushed to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and complained silently to herself about Tang Yuxiu that guy, who had coaxed her to sleep and yet didn’t wake her up, making her late for work.
By this time, it was already noon, so she could only work in the afternoon.
When Tang Yuxiu came into the bedroom, he happened to see Gu Yan running out of the bathroom.
He frowned and said, "Slow down." What if she fell?
Gu Yan went to the bedside to find her shoes, gave him a fierce glare, "It’s all your fault!"
Tang Yuxiu slightly raised an eyebrow, not denying the blame.
He felt a bit troubled that she blamed him, even though he just wanted her to rest a bit more in the morning out of love for her.
He didn’t even think about who made her so tired.
Playing the good guy after the fact!
Gu Yan put on her shoes, got her bag ready, and headed downstairs.
As she passed Young Master Tang, she gave him a hard stomp on the foot.
Young Master Tang grunted, glaring at Gu Yan’s retreating back, not sure whether to laugh or cry, feeling quite helpless inside.
Judging by the force of the stomp, it seemed she was okay now.
Gu Yan headed downstairs, and Young Master Tang called after her, "The food is ready in the kitchen, after eating, we’ll go to work."
Gu Yan huffed at him, not responding, still throwing a tantrum, went straight into the kitchen to bring out the food, and in her sulkiness, only served herself a bowl of rice, ignoring Tang Yuxiu.
Young Master Tang knew she was throwing a little tantrum and played along, serving himself.
Throughout the meal, Gu Yan didn’t speak to him, which wasn’t awkward for Tang Yuxiu, who wasn’t one for much talk at the table anyway, so they both remained silent.
However, previously Gu Yan would come up with various topics, and he’d follow her lead with a few words. Now it was so quiet, it was somewhat unfamiliar.
After their meal, they set off for work.
In the car, Tang Yuxiu suddenly leaned over and personally helped her with her seatbelt.
The cool scent of him enveloped her, leaving her momentarily stunned, her hands paused in the process of buckling her seatbelt.
