“It’s not that simple yet. If you still hide things from me in the future, if you’re going to bear everything without telling me…”
Before she could finish, Gu Jingyuan had already covered her lips with his. The hot and fierce kiss enveloped her. The phoenix flower between them was squeezed and light pink flower dew seeped out.
“Our flowers…” Liang Xinran couldn’t help but feel her heart ache as she pushed him away.
“Can’t you make dried flowers?” Gu Jingyuan placed a hand on the side of her head. “… Xinran, I really miss you.”
He kissed her again. Liang Xinran closed her eyes and met his lips.
!!After the kiss, Liang Xinran hurriedly rescued the phoenix flowers from their arms. Although it was already crushed, there were still a few good ones in the middle.
Her heart aching, she picked out the good ones, wrapped them in cellophane and tied them into a tiny bunch.
“If you like it, I can just give more to you next time.”
“This time, it’s this time. Next time, it’s the next time. If there’s a next time, we can’t casually ruin it again,” Liang Xinran said softly.
Gu Jingyuan called her name with heartache. “Xinran.”
“Yes?” She was still fiddling with the phoenix flowers.
“I’m sorry. I will discuss anything with you in the future. I’m sorry.”
“What’s past is past,” Liang Xinran said generously. “I’m sure we’ll get better in the future.”
Gu Jingyuan smiled and held her hand. “I’ll bring you to a place to eat.”
Liang Xinran held the flowers and followed him.
When they reached a restaurant, she glanced up. “You’re not going to ask me to eat here, are you?”
“Haven’t you always liked it?” Gu Jingyuan brought her in.
It seemed that he had already made an appointment. The waiter came forward and greeted, “Mr. Gu, Miss Liang, please come up.”
It was a popular restaurant of late. It was set in a glass building which was thirty stories high. Not only was it empty on all sides, but there was clear glass underfoot. It looked exciting.
However, eating here allowed one to look down on the entire city and enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicacies.
Liang Xinran had previously mentioned that she wanted to eat here, but it was just a casual remark.
She did not expect Gu Jingyuan to remember it for her.
“Haven’t you always liked this kind of place? I’ve made a reservation.” Gu Jingyuan’s face was slightly pale, but he forced himself to calm down and try not to show his timidity.
“Yes, I like it very much. I’ll go over and take a look.” Liang Xinran strode over. Gu Jingyuan secretly took a deep breath and followed her.
Although he pretended to be calm, his fingers could not help trembling slightly. This height was not so easy to overcome for those who were afraid of heights.
Especially since the glass on the floor was so transparent that it was impossible to tell that it was glass. Occasionally, when one glanced at it, you would think that you were walking on empty air without any support.
Liang Xinran walked forward with her head held high, and Gu Jingyuan could only follow. His leather shoes rubbed against the glass, and there was a heart-stopping screech.
“It’s so beautiful.” Liang Xinran sighed softly.
Although Gu Jingyuan had already tried it once, it was still difficult for him to appreciate the beauty she mentioned.
He licked his dry lips self-consciously. “Yes. It’s beautiful.”
His voice also sounded dry.
Liang Xinran stood on the 30th floor and looked around. Not only was the air fresh and pleasant, but her view was also extremely wide.
Not only could they see the iconic buildings of the entire imperial capital, but they could also see the mountains at the edge of the city.
She braced her arms on the fence, closed her eyes, and let the wind whip her long hair.
The wind blew past her ears, and she turned to look at Gu Jingyuan.
He was trying his best to look at her with a smile. Others might not be able to see anything unusual about him, but how could Liang Xinran not know what he was experiencing at this moment?
Hmph, she just wanted him to be punished. Who asked him to make her suffer such fear for so long? He had to feel this too.
“Do you want to come over and take a look at the scenery here?” Liang Xinran asked.
Gu Jingyuan: “…”
Gu Jingyuan gritted his teeth. “Okay.”
He stepped toward Liang Xinran. One step, two steps…
The floating sensation made his heart beat faster. Dizziness appeared in front of his eyes. He tried to control his nervousness and find a point where he could support himself, but he was surrounded by far-flung dining tables and chairs.
Moreover, Gu Jingyuan could not do such an undignified thing.
A wind blew fiercely, ruffling the tablecloth on the dining table, creating a flapping wind.
Three steps, four steps. Gu Jingyuan could hear his teeth grinding.
Liang Xinran ran towards him and held his arm. She said with a smile, “Actually, there’s nothing to see over there. Let’s go back.”
Gu Jingyuan heaved a sigh of relief and said in a clear voice, “Then sit down and order first.”
It would probably be better after sitting down.
“No, the food here isn’t to my taste. Let’s eat somewhere else.” Liang Xinran smiled. She wasn’t really going to punish him.
He’d already shown so much sincerity. She knew when to stop.
“I asked them to prepare all the dishes you like.”
“Doctor Gu, I still hope that we can both eat happily, not just me.” Liang Xinran smiled and said, “Let’s eat on the first floor, okay?”
How could Gu Jingyuan not understand her thoughtfulness?
He ran a hand through her hair. “Okay. First floor, then.”
“Then don’t cancel your reservation at the sky restaurant. Transfer it to me. Next time, I’ll bring a friend over to eat.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t book such places in the future. I like those high-altitude rides in amusement parks, but I don’t have to pursue such excitement for everything.”
“Okay.”
Liang Xinran turned around and saw Gu Jingyuan looking down at her. He was usually noble and cold, but at this moment, he was probably really frightened. He looked a little obedient, like an unguarded university student.
Liang Xinran could not help but reach out her hands to rub his cheeks. “Doctor Gu, you’re so obedient. You look like you can be tricked into coming home.”
“Then will you trick me?” Gu Jingyuan clasped her palm and became serious. That obedient look was replaced by the dangerous gaze and domineering possessiveness of an adult man.
Liang Xinran wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it extremely tightly, as if it was welded. She could not pull it back at all and could only let him hold it tightly.
She laughed. “That depends on whether you’re willing to be tricked.”
“I’m willing to be tricked by you.”
Liang Xinran rubbed his face again. Gu Jingyuan looked obedient like a big dog. “But let me say this first. You can’t trick me just once. If you want to trick me, trick me for the rest of my life.”
