Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, she wished she could kick Gu Zheng out and throw that damned alarm clock out as well. If he were not her husband, she would definitely make him die an ugly death.
“Mrs. Gu, your body is too weak, so I’ve decided to have you run with me in the morning to develop healthy habits. Otherwise, how can you defeat me?”
Qiao Xi took a deep breath. She could not hit her husband, so she could only endure it. She shouted anxiously, “I’m not weak!”
She covered herself with the blanket and ignored Gu Zheng. She was very angry when she woke up, so even if God were here today, He could not disturb her sleep.
Gu Zheng leaned over to the bed, lifted the blanket, and smiled. “Mrs. Gu, if you’re cursing me, it’s best to let it out. It’ll be very uncomfortable to keep these things bottled up!”
Qiao Xi’s eyelids twitched. Gu Zheng was a smart person, right? She could not hide anything from him.
“I guessed correctly. You’re indeed scolding me in your heart.” Gu Zheng’s tone was teasing. He did not continue to force her to go for a morning run. Instead, he leaned behind her and hugged her tightly. He whispered in her ear, “Xi Xi, what are you scolding me for?”
His voice was very gentle, but it scared Qiao Xi so much that her entire body trembled. Gu Yao’s words suddenly echoed in her mind. ‘My brother is a very strange person. The calmer and gentler he is, the more terrifying he actually is. A second ago, he was still talking to me gently. I was still lamenting in my heart about having a brother with a very good temper. The next second, I was beaten up. Qiao Xi, you must be careful. If you encounter such a situation, you must immediately admit your mistake and not resist. Otherwise, you’ll suffer harsher revenge.’
Later on, Gu Yao reminded her again, ‘Gu Zheng likes you so much. He definitely won’t hit you, but a two-faced man like him will definitely think of ways to punish you.’
When she thought about this, Qiao Xi’s entire body could not help but tremble. However, her mouth seemed to not listen to her anymore as she blurted out the thoughts in her heart, “You bastard! You two-faced man! If you disturb my sleep again, I’ll kick you out!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly to reveal a charming smile. Without giving Qiao Xi a chance to react, a scorching kiss landed on her lips. It was surging and fierce as if it wanted to devour her.
After a long time, Qiao Xi felt her breathing quicken, her lips go numb, and her mind go blank. The man’s gentle voice sounded. “Are you still cursing me?”
At this moment, Qiao Xi finally confirmed Gu Yao’s words. Gu Zheng was really too evil. She knew very well that if she did not get up now, she might be suffocated by Gu Zheng’s kiss.
20 minutes later.
Qiao Xi followed behind Gu Zheng with a face full of resentment. He was not training her body at all but torturing her!
Gu Zheng turned around and glanced at her. “Are you unhappy?”
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him and did not say anything.
“Alright, don’t be angry anymore.” Gu Zheng coaxed her gently. His low voice was filled with affection without the slightest impatience.
After their morning run, Gu Zheng went upstairs to take a shower while Qiao Xi collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. Not far away, she heard Song Shijing and the butler talking. “The president wakes up every morning to run. He’s been like this for so many years, but Young Madam has never gotten up early. Why did he call her over today? I think Young Madam doesn’t seem too happy.”
The butler looked at Qiao Xi, who was slumped on the sofa, and explained, “All these years, he has always been alone. Now that he has someone he likes, he wants the person he loves to participate in everything he does. He’s not forcing Young Madam to run in the morning. He just wants her to accompany him.”
Song Shijing sighed. “The Gu and Lu families don’t treat the president well. He has never felt love since he was young and doesn’t have many friends. It wasn’t easy for him to have Young Madam, but she doesn’t understand him.”
Qiao Xi’s heart instantly softened. It turned out that Gu Zheng only felt lonely, so he wanted to pull her along for a morning run. He only hoped that there would be someone by his side to talk to and not always be alone.
At the thought of this, Qiao Xi abruptly stood up. Seeing Qiao Xi leave, the butler said softly, “Shijing, Young Madam heard our conversation. She won’t be angry with the president, right?”
Song Shijing nodded and said, “I don’t think so, but we have to control Song Shiyu. As long as he doesn’t spout nonsense, we won’t be exposed.”
After breakfast, the conversation between Song Shijing and the butler appeared in Qiao Xi’s mind. Her tone was a little gentler. “Do you wake up so early every day to run?”
