LTPC Chapter 32: The Sentiments Between Husband and Wife

Yi Ran could not help but grind her teeth silently. This man was really abominable. He and Lu Keliu had an unclear rumor between them. Besides, the two had met each other tonight, and even if she did not want to believe those gossips, wouldn’t it be normal for him to mind? How could he not take the initiative to explain it?!

Probably because he noticed that Yi Ran was not moving, he turned his head slightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

She shook her head confusedly, her mind still spinning in circles. The dress she wore was to his specifications. The little black dress with lotus leaf decorations that his assistant had prepared completely fit her curves to perfection. The tulle at the neckline was sprinkled with rhinestones, off-setting her complexion. When she walked, the skirt would sway coquettishly. 

Gu Tingchuan shifted and took a few steps closer to her. He was just about to lower his head to kiss her when Yi Ran knowingly and indifferently turned her head. Just to prevent him from succeeding, she also rubbed her brows and display a look of exhaustion. “I’m so tired. I’m going to take a bath.”

Gu Tingchuan’s eyebrows rose as he watched her turn and walk away.

He went to the second bathroom to wash up and change. When he stepped out, he saw Yi Ran standing at the entrance of the bedroom, holding a quilt in her arms and looking even more petite than usual. Her manner was imposing as she said, "Tonight I want to sleep alone in the guest room. I want some quiet. " 

Gu Tingchuan didn’t understand what was wrong and was surprised, “Why?”

“No reason.” Yi Ran took a few steps, thought of something, and then returned back to look at him. “No, I want to sleep alone in the bedroom. You go to the guest room.”

Then, before he could react, she dumped the quilt in his arms, turned, and closed the door. 

Gu Tingchuan touched the bridge of his nose, then reached out and knocked on the door. He knocked for a long time, but the person inside ignored him. The man thought for a while. It was getting so late, and she probably needed time to calm down. 

Yi Ran laid in the big bed in their bedroom and tried her calm emotions and go to sleep. The result was that she couldn’t sleep at all. She twisted and turned on the bed for a long time. Finally, she saw up and looked at the lamp overhead. 

Why couldn’t Gu Tingchuan ask her why she was in a bad mood? This should not be regarded as a deliberate temper tantrum. A normal husband should care about his wife's emotions! 

In fact, since their discussions about the matter regarding Gu Baiyu, she realized that she needed to take the initiative when it came to communication. 

After this thought, Yi Ran got up. She walked out of the bedroom and pushed open the door to the guest room. She touched the switch of a lamp to turn on the light. 

Gu Tingchuan had already fallen asleep long ago. His breathing was gentle and even, and the lines of his body lying on the bed were bright and beautiful. 

Yi Ran walked up behind him and, with no trace of politeness, carelessly tapped his back with her small fists, saying, “Get up, get up, don't sleep! If I can’t sleep, then you also can’t sleep!" 

This was the first time Gu Tingchuan had ever encountered such a situation. He sat up and his deep, dark eyes slowly grew focused as he looked straight at her. 

No one but her would have the ability to call him out of bed in the middle of the night. 

Yi Ran shook slightly at those half-sleepy eyes. Although he didn’t look angry, she still felt that he was intimidating.
