Chapter 522: Brother Cheng: What is Good about Me?
After coming out of the shower, Lu Chengzhou saw Gu Mang sitting on the sofa in a lazy manner. All the things in the red packet were placed in front of her.
Gu Mang had lowered her head and was staring at them.
Lu Chengzhou sat down and picked up the card while flipping it around. “One hundred million and one yuan.”
The amount was written at the back of the card.
Gu Mang answered lazily, “That’s a bit too much.”
Since it was just a welcome gift, there was no need for such a huge sum.
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrow slightly. “Is that too much?”
Gu Mang nodded as she picked up the bracelet and placed it before his eyes. “What about this?”
Granny Lu had given her a bracelet worth more than two hundred million yuan. Lu Chengzhou’s gaze landed on her hand. The jade bracelet contrasted with her round, clean finger tips. Shifting back, her fingers were fair and long, and the green veins under her skin could be faintly seen.
Beautiful.
Putting down the towel, he took the bracelet and threw it on the bed as he held onto her hands.
Gu Mang was silent.
He pinched her fingers as he turned to look at the jade bracelet. “It’s Granny’s dowry and has been in the Lu family for quite a long time.”
Gu Mang frowned. It was so valuable but she gifted it to her?
Pondering for a few seconds, she turned to look at Lu Chengzhou. “Let’s go see your grandmother again one day.”
“No need. Since she gave it to you, keep it.” Lu Chengzhou said, “If you don’t like to wear bracelets, keep it somewhere.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow. “Sure.”
She pulled her hand back as she picked up the bracelet and put it back in the red packet.
“Wait a bit,” he suddenly said.
Gu Mang lifted her head. “Yeah.”
Lu Chengzhou put the bracelet on for her and said, “Let me see you wear it.”
Gu Mang was quiet but she complied. She looked at the green and luxurious jade whose patterns could be seen clearly under the light. It was stunning.
Lu Chengzhou held her hand and rubbed her wrist with his thumb while nodding. “It’s good to lock you with something too.”
Gu Mang pulled her hand and shook her wrist as she smiled. “Just this?”
Lu Chengzhou sat behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “What if you add this?”
The man rested his chin on her shoulder as he leaned on her as though he had no skeleton. Gu Mang tutted as she turned to look at him.
Removing the bracelet, she placed it and the bank card into the red packet.
She then looked at him. “I’m tired. Sleep.”
After saying that, she removed his arms from around her waist and lifted her blanket to sleep.
Lu Chengzhou pulled her arm. Gu Mang was holding a corner of the blanket in her other hand.
Turning around, she saw Lu Chengzhou looking at her with deep eyes.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “Mm?”
Lu Chengzhou spoke slowly, “Why do I think that you’re a little odd?”
She did not understand him. “Odd?”
Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Why aren’t you flirting with me?”
Gu Mang remained silent.
“Ever since I’ve recovered, you’ve stopped challenging the things I say. Gu Mang, you’re so obedient.” His face inched closer to hers as he pinched her chin. “Come, tell me the reason.”
She cleared her throat and sounded peaceful. Her eyes looked sincere as well. “No, I’m really tired.”
“Are you?” Lu Chengzhou asked again with a deep voice. “Could it be that I did not satisfy you in some way? You can’t be bothered to speak to me?”
Gu Mang removed his hand that was pinching her chin. “I’m not unsatisfied. You’re pretty good.”
Lu Chengzhou grasped the back of her neck and leaned closer as he spoke in a slow and deep voice. “Pretty good.”
“Mm.”
“What’s good?” Lu Chengzhou probed as he rested his forehead on hers. Their breaths intertwined.
Gu Mang raised her hand to block him and tried to distance herself from him but it was futile.
Her throat was slightly dry. She did not look at him and tried to sound calm. “Everything’s good.”
Lu Chengzhou hummed and asked,”However, you haven’t seen some parts, how do you know that they’re good?”
Gu Mang remained silent.
