Goodnight Kiss from My Rumored Husband

Gu Nianshen walked upstairs and, when he was about to pass by Lin Yiqian’s bedroom, which was actually a guest room, he stopped walking. He extended one hand from his pocket and was about to knock on the door.

But, he stopped before he knocked and let his hand drop.

Then, he raised it once more.

Yet, he still did not knock on the door as his hand dropped.

‘Forget it!’

Gu Nianshen chucked his hand back into his pocket as he prepared to move away when Gu Nianjia’s bedroom door was suddenly opened.

When she saw Gu Nianshen standing in front of Lin Yiqian’s bedroom, she asked confusedly, “What are you doing, Brother?”

“When are you going back to school?” Gu Nianshen changed the topic immediately.

After asking the question, Gu Nianshen walked toward his own room.

“Tomorrow. Small Uncle is sending me,” Gu Nianjia said as she caught up with his pace.

Gu Nianshen’s facial expression had changed for the worse when he heard the words ‘Small Uncle’. When they arrived at his room, Gu Nianshen did not stop as he continued to walk into the room.

“Brother, tell me the truth.” Gu Nianshen pulled at his arm.

She rarely looked this serious.

However, Gu Nianshen could guess what she was going to say next. “You’d better not say it.” He warned.

“I was going to ask you if you ever felt bad for taking your uncle’s woman away from him?” Gu Nianjia did not heed his advice.

After voicing out her question, Gu Nianjia felt extremely nervous.

“Get lost!” Gu Nianshen turned around to glare at Gu Nianjia.

This was the best he could do to control his temper.

“I’ve been at grandma’s house for the past two days. Small Uncle looked terribly sad the whole time.” Gu Nianjia continued.

“I plan to treat Lin Yiqian better for Small Uncle’s sake. After all, she is the woman he loves deeply. He must only want her to be happy… Owh!”

Before Gu Nianjia could finish her sentence, Gu Nianshen pinched her ear with his fingers.

She cried out in pain as she tiptoed to lessen the pain she felt. “Brother… Brother, it hurts. Please let go. It’s my bad.” She begged.

Gu Nianshen threw her out of the room and closed the door.

“You’d better be careful! I might try to get Lin Yiqian to cheat on you,” Gu Nianjia shouted as she rubbed her ear.

‘Huh?’

Lin Yiqian had only just finished eating the sandwich and was coming out from the bathroom after having brushed her teeth. She had overheard Gu Nianjia’s threat to Gu Nianshen.

She was stunned for a moment. Then, she chuckled as she shook her head.

Gu Nianjia certainly was a fearless individual.

Gu Nianjia went into her own room in a huff as the phone was ringing. She rushed over to pick it up.

“Professor Zhang, it’s me…”

“Yes, I know. I’ll be returning early in the morning tomorrow. Please don’t fail me.”

“Mister who can urinate very far away, what are you doing?”

When Gu Nianshen woke up, he saw that there was a message alert on the screen of his phone. He nearly tossed his phone away when he saw how the person had addressed him.

He was now wide awake.

How did that child get his phone number?

Gu Nianshen was still in a state of confusion when two more messages were delivered to his phone. They were from the same number. This time, they were voice messages.

“Xiaoyu misses you a lot.”

The fellow sounded sleepy with his soft and gentle voice. Unexpectedly, Gu Nianshen felt a nudge in his heart as he pictured Lin Xiaoyu’s adorable face in his mind.

However, the feeling soon disappeared and the gentleness in his eyes faded away.

“Have you thought about being my daddy?”

The child did not sound fluent in Chinese. For every sentence he said, it sounded choppy as if he needed time to think about his words.

“If you think it’s alright, I could arrange for my mommy to meet you. My mommy is very pretty. You won’t be disappointed.”
