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

Jiang Xuxu had seen a group photo taken at the Lin family's hospital, and one of the women in the photo was wearing the strawberry pendant around her neck.

Perhaps, my background is related to that person.

Jiang Xuxu quietly went to the study and searched through the rooms one by one in the order she remembered, but found nothing.

Just as she was about to leave, she inadvertently glanced at a book with a familiar cover in the corner.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same as the last work left to Gu Jingshen by his mother!

"So this is where I've met you before." She gently pulled out the travelogue and began to read it.

But she didn't understand medicine; she could only understand where she went and what she did, but she didn't understand the medical information in the annotations.

"Nothing special about it." She sighed.

Just as she turned around, she bumped into a dark figure. Jiang Xuxu quickly covered her mouth to keep quiet.

She took two steps back before she could see the person in front of her clearly. "Gu Jingshen? What are you doing here so late at night, sneaking around like this?"

Gu Jingshen curled his lips and asked, "Who was sneaking around like this in the middle of the night? I thought a thief had broken in."

Jiang Xuxu quickly hid the book behind her back. "I... I can't sleep. Can't I read a book? It's not your house."

As she spoke, she tried to slip away past Gu Jingshen, but he blocked her in the corner. "What are you holding? Let me see."

"It's none of your business!" Jiang Xuxu retorted, feigning righteousness as she looked up.

Gu Jingshen leaned down to meet her gaze, and while she was in a daze, he silently reached behind her and snatched the book from her hands.

"What book is so good?"

"Gu Jingshen! You..."

Jiang Xuxu instinctively reached out to grab it, but he raised his hand high and refused to give it to her.

In the darkness, the two of them stood there, hopping and skipping, dodging and weaving.

In the end, Jiang Xuxu compromised.

"Alright! This book was always meant to be yours."

She left as soon as she finished speaking.

The next second, the tall man bent down, picked her up from behind, carried her to her bedroom, and locked the door behind him.

"What are you doing? This is someone else's home!"

She subconsciously thought that Gu Jingshen was about to do something out of line again.

"What are you afraid of? I just want to talk to you."

"This isn't the place to talk," Jiang Xuxu said, pushing him away.

Gu Jingshen grinned mischievously, lying on the bed flipping through a book, "You didn't want to at the hotel just now."

Seeing that he didn't seem surprised by the book, Jiang Xuxu remembered that their two families were old friends.

It's quite normal for Gu Qingxin's book to appear in the Lin family's home.

"This book was written by my mother when she took me out before. I thought it was lost, but I didn't expect it to be here."

Gu Jingshen flipped through the pages, talking to himself.

Jiang Xuxu sat down as well, her tone softening: "What did you want to say to me at the hotel just now?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingshen remembered the purpose of his return.

After Jiang Xuxu left, he called Zhang Yi to invite him out for drinks to cheer him up.

But Zhang Yi was out of town and didn't have time to spend with him.

Upon learning that he was experiencing relationship problems, Zhang Yi suggested, "How about you ask your fiancée to come out and keep you company?"

Gu Jingshen scoffed lightly, "No, you know perfectly well that I only have brotherly feelings for her."

"Lovers eventually become siblings. I think you two are quite a good match," Zhang Yi joked.

Gu Jingshen had no interest in arguing with him. "Alright, quickly give me some advice on how to keep a girl's heart."

In high school, Zhang Yi learned that his best friend had a fiancée who was several years younger than him, and that she was actually his female friend.

They often joked about him, and I thought they were truly in love.

Seeing him troubled by love, Zhang Yi called Lin Tingran away to leave.

Although he and Lin Tingran were friends, matters of the heart cannot be forced.

"This is all the help I can give you, brother. Go back and talk to her face to face. No matter the outcome, at least you won't have any regrets."

Gu Jingshen thought he was right. The reason why many people miss out is because they don't speak up.

Regardless of who Jiang Xuxu ultimately chooses, he should clearly state his position.

"Jiang Xuxu, listen carefully, I don't have anyone else I like, don't try to set me up with random people."

He looked at her with deep affection and added, "My wife, Gu Jingshen's wife, will only be you."

Jiang Xuxu was completely stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Gu Jingshen didn't rush her, but patiently waited for her reply, his gentle and tender eyes filled with anticipation and passion.

Jiang Xuxu was somewhat moved.

She was actually reluctant to part with Gu Jingshen, but her feelings for him weren't enough for her to betray her best friend of ten years.

"I'm sorry," she said earnestly.

"We agreed that it was just a fake marriage. I don't have real feelings for you, so I can't accept it. I'm sorry."

She got up to open the door and see the guest out.

Lin Tingran's angry voice echoed from the hallway: "That damn Zhang Yi, he called me in the middle of the night to tell me to go out, but Jing Shen wasn't even there!"

Jiang Xuxu subconsciously took two steps back, not wanting her to see Gu Jingshen here.

"Shut up! Don't speak." Jiang Xuxu made a shushing gesture.

Gu Jingshen seemed to be doing it on purpose, getting up and walking towards the door. Jiang Xuxu quickly grabbed his hand and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to your room and sleep—"

Jiang Xuxu stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth, warning, "Don't make a sound!"

Lin Tingran stopped outside her door and listened carefully; there had clearly been some noise inside just moments before.

Did she mishear because she was drunk?

She leaned against the door and softly called out twice, "Xuxu, are you asleep?"

no respond.

Lin Tingran was really drunk. She staggered to the side to open the door, carrying her bag.

The close contact, the warm breath melting in Jiang Xuxu's palm, made her heart beat faster.

She tried to let go, but Gu Jingshen grabbed her hand instead.

Jiang Xuxu was so startled she almost cried out. She tugged at her hand and whispered a warning, "Let go."

Gu Jingshen's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he mimicked her in a low voice, saying, "The soundproofing isn't good. Are you sure you want to struggle?"

He then pulled the person into his arms.

Jiang Xuxu squirmed a couple of times on his lap, but was held even tighter, wanting to scream but unable to make a sound.

The neighbors will hear it.

Warm breath near her ear sent a tingling sensation through her, and Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but swallow.

"Gu Jingshen, are you a dog? Why do you bite me all the time?"

Hearing her words, Gu Jingshen couldn't help but let his mind wander.

"I belong to you," Gu Jingshen said, pressing his face against hers. "Let me hug you a little longer, just a little while."

Jiang Xuxu couldn't resist.

Gu Jingshen didn't want to look like a pervert, but he couldn't help but move closer to her.

If this had happened to Lu Chen, Jiang Xuxu would most likely have found it disgusting and perverted.

But Gu Jingshen, she was actually a little reluctant to leave, her chest heaving and her breathing becoming a little rapid.

"Gu Jingshen, you... that's enough."

Her throat was dry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out.

"No, you'll run away if I let go."

"I don't……"

dong dong dong.

A knocking sound came from next door: "Xuxu, aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Tingran was actually eavesdropping.

Jiang Xuxu's heart suddenly raced, and she tried to get up and break free from Gu Jingshen's embrace as if she had been caught red-handed.

One of them lost his balance and fell back down, both of them landing on the bed.

Gu Jingshen was pressed down in a place he shouldn't have, and let out a muffled groan in pain.

The next second, Jiang Xuxu directly covered his mouth with her tongue.

Lin Tingran asked suspiciously, "Xuxu, is someone in your room?"
