I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

"Auntie?"

Jiang Xuxu exclaimed in surprise, but quickly regained her composure and sat down.

Madam Gu's smile gradually softened as she stood up and walked towards Gu Jingshen, looking him up and down.

"Jing Shen, you've grown up. Let Aunt Lan take a good look at you..."

This scene left Jiang Xuxu completely stunned.

Gu Jingshen is actually a member of the Gu family, and she is even her former fiancé's cousin!

What was originally intended as a trap turned into a family reunion.

Jiang Xuxu sat to the side like an outsider, silently drinking tea.

After they finished catching up, Jiang Xuxu finally had a chance to speak.

"Gu...no, no, Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look for Gu Jingshen...Oh dear...if I had known you were family, I wouldn't have..."

The apology I had prepared came out somewhat incoherently.

Gu Jingshen squeezed her hand; her palm was sweaty. He smiled knowingly and explained the whole story to Jiang Xuxu.

It turns out that Gu Jingshen's mother is Gu Qingxin, and Gu Zeyu is his cousin.

She just turned twenty.

Because I had a fever when I was a child that damaged my brain, I look a little slow-witted.

Gu Lanxin was worried that her condition would worsen and that Gu Zeyu would have no one to take care of him in the future, so she spent money to arrange this marriage for him.

Gu Jingshen's mother was kicked out of the house because she was pregnant out of wedlock, and his maternal grandmother left Xianshui Village with them in order to take care of the young Gu Jingshen.

Later, Gu Qingxin died after being infected during a COVID-19 relief mission, and Gu Jingshen returned here with his grandmother to live together.

Speaking of which, he hadn't been back to Xianshui Village for a long time, and Gu Lanxin hardly recognized him.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, Gu Lanxin held Gu Jingshen's hand and wept, "I heard you came back a few days ago, but I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect you to really come back."

Gu Jingshen smiled gently.

"Auntie, I did come back once before, but you were discussing Zeyu's marriage at the time, so I didn't disturb you too much."

Jiang Xuxu then remembered what her father had said, that she seemed to have seen Gu Jingshen somewhere before.

It must have been the time I went to their home to get engaged!

This guy is dishonest.

After lunch, Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen prepared to leave the Gu family. Gu Lanxin took his hand and handed him a book.

"This was left to you by your mother before she passed away. We never had a chance to give it to you in the past few years, but now it's being returned to its rightful owner."

Gu Jingshen smiled and accepted the gift. "Thank you, Aunt Lan."

Watching their departing figures, Gu Zeyu's unfocused eyes sharpened, and he parted his thin lips slightly: "Mom, why did you return the books to him?"

"With Gu Jingshen's current capabilities, do you think he won't be able to trace it back to us?"

After Gu Lanxin finished speaking, she turned around, and the old, heavy door closed again.

At the village entrance, Jiang Rusheng had gathered a group of men who were waiting. As soon as Jiang Xuxu gave the order, they would rush in and smash up the Gu residence.

Jiang Rusheng waited until 5 p.m. but still hadn't received any instructions, which made him a little worried.

He had just taken out his phone to call Jiang Xuxu when he saw the two of them walking towards him hand in hand from a short distance away.

"Sister, brother-in-law, are you alright?"

Jiang Rusheng quickly went up to them and checked them over.

Jiang Xuxu smiled and tapped his head, "You, you."

Jiang Rusheng scratched the back of his head and gave an awkward smile: "I was just worried you guys wouldn't be able to handle it, wasn't I?"

He then dismissed his men, saying, "You've worked hard. I'll treat you to drinks another day. Take care!"

On the way back, Jiang Rusheng kept wondering how they managed to walk out of the Gu family's gate so casually.

Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen both smiled without saying a word.

They didn't intend for the Jiang family to know that Gu Jingshen was a member of the Gu family, nor was it necessary.

When I got home, my parents had just finished making dinner.

However, since they were already full, Jiang Xuxu suggested going for a walk to digest their food.

Gu Jingshen gladly accompanied him.

The two walked and talked, just like an ordinary young couple, sometimes playfully teasing each other, sometimes walking in silence.

Jiang Xuxu always had a question in her mind.

After much deliberation, she finally asked, "Gu Jingshen,"

"Um."

"Your surname is Gu, so why does Zeyu also have the surname Gu?" she asked.

Gu Jingshen frowned slightly. "Calling him so affectionately, you care about him a lot?"

"What?" Jiang Xuxu raised an eyebrow.

This person has a really peculiar focus.

"I was just curious."

Gu Jingshen began to recount, "The Gu family used to have very strict family rules. My aunt married far away for love, but she met the wrong person and brought Zeyu back with her. It was only in recent years that the Gu family has been revitalized..."

Therefore, Gu Zeyu, like him, took his mother's surname.

That makes sense.

Jiang Xuxu then asked, "So, what was your original surname?"

Gu Jingshen curled his lips into a cold smile: "I was born with the surname Gu. As for the rest, they are not important."

It seems he still doesn't want to talk about his background.

Jiang Xuxu didn't ask any more questions, and the two walked one after the other on the country road, feeling comfortable and at ease.

That evening, they were originally going to their maternal grandmother's house, but their parents insisted on keeping them there.

The renovated self-built house is a standard three-bedroom, one-living room house, and the parents specially reserved a room for Jiang Xuxu.

This means they'll be putting on an act again tonight.

Jiang Xuxu sat on the edge of the bed, while Gu Jingshen sat on a chair by the window, lost in thought.

No one spoke.

Time ticked by, and Jiang Xuxu, as the hostess, had no choice but to speak first.

"How about you sleep in the bed?"

"And what about you?" Gu Jingshen asked.

"I'll just sleep on the floor. It's my own home, so it doesn't matter where I sleep," she said frankly.

Gu Jingshen curled his lips. "Letting a girl sleep on the floor is not the manners of a gentleman. I'll sleep on the floor myself."

It doesn't seem quite appropriate to have guests sleeping on the floor.

Finally, Jiang Xuxu came up with a solution: put a partition in the middle of the bed, which would solve both problems.

But she ultimately underestimated human instinct.

For two people who are attracted to each other, even a single glance can be a fatal test for the other.

But they just had to add fuel to the fire of this ambiguous relationship.

The more unattainable something is, the more easily it can be obtained, and the more one desires it.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xuxu, who was half asleep, was awakened by the cold wind and moved over to find warmth.

In her dream, she was hugging a soft, large white creature, which kept trying to burrow into her arms.

This made Gu Jingshen, who was already unable to sleep, even more overwhelmed.

"Jiang Xuxu?" he tried calling out.

Unexpectedly, the other party responded with "Mm".

Her voice was soft and sweet, and her breath exhaled a sweet scent, causing Gu Jingshen to freeze in place, too afraid to move.

"you……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xuxu's face rubbed against his ear, pressing even closer.

"It feels so good to hold you."

The nasal tone made Gu Jingshen's heart skip a beat. He turned his head to look at her, and his lips were only two centimeters apart.

His breathing quickened and his heart pounded.

"Gu Jingshen,"

"Um."

"Gu Jingshen..."

Jiang Xuxu called his name over and over again; it was practically torture for him.

"Stop yelling," Gu Jingshen warned in a low voice.

"Gu Jing... um!"

His name was swallowed back down his throat.

Jiang Xuxu not only did not resist, but instead wrapped her arms around his waist in response to the kiss.

With her palms down, she roamed freely over his body like a female hooligan... but stopped at the crucial moment.

Gu Jingshen was aroused by her teasing, but he couldn't force her.

This is, after all, someone else's home.

"Jiang Xuxu, I'll remember this debt tonight."

He suppressed his impulse and pulled Jiang Xuxu into his arms, holding her close all night without sleeping.

The next day, Jiang Xuxu slept soundly, while Gu Jingshen had dark circles under his eyes and his eyelids were still drooping.

"What did you do last night? Your dark circles are so bad."

Gu Jingshen glanced at her and said with suppressed anger, "I'll tell you when we get back."

Jiang Xuxu pulled him back, saying, "Why wait until we get back to tell me? I want to hear it now!"

"Are you sure you want it now?" Gu Jingshen leaned closer.
