Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 276 Baby, sleep is a verb.

The text message was from an unknown number and read: "Mr. Gu, before I return to Spain, I'd like to invite you to dinner, is that alright?"

Many people refer to Gu Yanci as Mr. Gu.

But Wen Yan knew that the person who sent the text message was Nan Zhiyi!

Spain?

Ah, the implication couldn't be clearer!

"What's wrong?" Gu Yanci noticed that Wen Yan's expression was strange and a little unpleasant, but it wasn't exactly angry; it was more like mockery.

Seeing that Wen Yan did not answer, Gu Yanci got up and walked over.

Wen Yan simply flipped her wrist and showed him the contents.

"Don't bother with people you don't know." In Gu Yanci's view, the lack of a note indicates that the other person is not familiar with him, and the lack of self-introduction indicates that the other person is impolite.

Then this is a useless text message; even glancing at it is a waste of time.

Wen Yan glanced at him and asked slyly, "Can I reply now?"

"Hmm." Gu Yanci didn't mind, leaned down and kissed Wen Yan, then kissed her again, before returning to his desk to continue working.

Wen Yan was somewhat surprised to find that his nonchalant attitude was genuine.

"Aren't you afraid I'll post random content?" Wen Yan asked, swinging her legs.

Gu Yanci didn't even look up: "Isn't it normal for my wife to use my phone?"

Whether it's a stranger or a colleague, it's perfectly normal and they have the right to send messages without his knowledge.

To put it bluntly, Gu Yanci didn't care.

Wen Yan smiled contentedly and looked down at her phone.

On the other end of the phone, Nan Zhiyi gripped her phone nervously, her heart pounding with anxiety. Finally, she received a reply: [When? Where?]

Nan Zhiyi's smile widened, but then she became worried again.

Mr. Gu agreed, but does he know that she was the one who sent the text message? If she reveals her identity now, will she be rejected?

After hesitating for a while, Nan Zhiyi decided not to say anything and sent the other party the restaurant address.

……

Gu Yanci turned off his computer and walked over. His phone was placed aside, and Wen Yan was idly playing with her own phone, scrolling through short videos.

As the shadows fell, Wen Yan looked up: "Hmm? Ah—"

The next second, Gu Yanci picked her up and carried her horizontally.

"Go to sleep?"

As Gu Yanci spoke, he walked towards the bedroom, occasionally glancing down to sniff Wen Yan's neck.

After spending so much time together, his body language and hints were far too obvious.

Wen Yan looked up at him, her almond-shaped eyes bright, and asked, "Mr. Gu, is your 'sleep' a verb or part of a phrase?"

Sleep is a verb.

Sleeping is a phrase.

Gu Yanci chuckled softly, placed Wen Yan on the bed, and then leaned over her, showering her with hot kisses.

"What do you think?"

“I think it’s a phrase,” Wen Yan said deliberately, being sarcastic.

Then the man bit her lower lip.

"Oh, you think you're wrong."

Gu Yanci was very pleased that both he and Wen Yan had the habit of taking a shower as soon as they got home. It was very convenient at times like this, making Wen Yan feel like a delicious cake waiting for him to enjoy.

He whispered in her ear, “Baby, from the time you become an adult, sleeping will only be a verb.”

-

Nan Zhi Yi Ding is located in a high-end Western restaurant in Beijing. It is known for its pleasant atmosphere and beautiful dishes, making it a popular choice for dates among the middle class and above.

Wen Yan saw Nan Zhiyi from afar. Today, she was wearing a sapphire blue dress, looking elegant and radiant. Her long golden hair was styled into delicate waves, making her look even more charming.

"You look beautiful today." Wen Yan walked up to her. "I'm so glad you dressed up and invited me to dinner."

"H-How is it you?" Nan Zhiyi looked at Wen Yan in shock, then looked around but didn't see Gu Yanci.

She dressed up like that not for Wen Yan at all!

"Who else did you think it was? My husband?" Wen Yan sat down in the empty seat opposite her. "Sorry, you may not know, but I have control over Gu Yanci's phone."

"You!" Nan Zhiyi looked at Wen Yan in disbelief. "Yan, why are you so hostile towards me? We share half of our genes and blood; we should have been very close sisters!"

Wen Yan leaned back in her chair and laughed mockingly: "Nan Zhiyi, is it me who is hostile to you or you who are hostile to me? Genes? I don't even want to acknowledge my parents, why would I care about a sister like you who appeared out of nowhere trying to steal my husband? Are you just oblivious to your own cunning, or is this just your nature?"

"Yan, I'm not trying to compete with you. I just want to give myself a chance so Gu can choose for himself! You came to meet me in Gu's place because you're afraid he'll waver, right? Yan, love is a matter of freedom!"

Wen Yan didn't quite understand Nan Zhiyi, looking at her as if she were a lunatic: "Sorry, our country's values ​​are that marriage is sacred and being a person is moral."

Nan Zhiyi realized that Wen Yan was calling her immoral.

She took a breath and asked, "You replied to the text message last night, right? Gu has no idea about this."

She became more and more certain as she spoke.

Wen Yan rolled her eyes: "I told him when I left home, and he told me to bring two more bodyguards."

Wen Yan was telling the truth. She was upright and honest, telling Gu Yanci that the person who sent the text message last night was Nan Zhiyi, and that she planned to attend the banquet in his place. She was helping him deal with his extramarital affairs, and she wanted him to see her 'hard work'.

Nan Zhiyi bit her lip, as if she had suffered a great humiliation: "I don't believe you!"

"I don't care whether you believe it or not. Nan Zhiyi, do you think that just because you successfully stole my mother from me back then, you can steal my man now?"

Nan Zhiyi didn't speak, but just looked at Wen Yan, but her expression already revealed the answer: Yes.

That's definitely what she was thinking subconsciously.

At this moment, Wen Yan understood Gu Yanci once again why he was so insecure and anxious whenever it came to matters of the heart in front of Gu Jingzhou.

Like Nam Ji-yi, her past victories have given her a lot of confidence.

For Gu Yanci, past failures, countless disappointments, and utter defeats drove him to resort to extreme measures in a morbidly desperate attempt to keep her.
