Chapter 535
It was noisy outside, Gu Chi spent a long time in the bathroom .

He stared into the mirror, trying to smile .
However, that smile was uglier than a crying face .
Gu Chi pinched his own face for a bit, his eyes were a little inattentive .
Since young, he had realised that he was different from other kids .
Other kids would laugh, cry and get upset, but not him .
He didn’t understand what made them cry, or what made them laugh .
The world he saw was one of solitude and obscurity .
Sometimes, he’d even have thoughts about getting rid of them .
His family brought him to many doctors, but every doctor more or less said the same thing .
It wasn’t effective for him .
Then he met her . She was the first splash of colour he had in his life .
But, it wasn’t her as well .
The Lan Shen he had in his eyes previously was so different from the Lan Shen who was currently with him .
He still remembered the first time he met her in person .
She was sitting in a car, looking taunting yet calm .
When he saw her car in the garage, a childish thought came across his mind .
He vandalised her car .
The second time they met, she was in his house all of a sudden .
She asked about the reason behind the vandalism of her car .
Gu Chi didn’t understand it himself, he acted upon his sudden thought .

He stuttered a few words to entertain her .
He could probably understand that it was because he wanted to get her attention now .
“Gu Chi, are you giving birth inside?” The bathroom door was knocked on heavily for a few times .
Gu Chi put down the towel in his hand and pulled the door open .
She was covered in a shaggy shawl, staring at him with an annoyed face .
Gu Chi held her face and kissed her, habitually licking and biting her lips .
“Stop kissing, get out now . ”
“I won’t if you don’t kiss me . ” Gu Chi voiced out suddenly .
He was stunned after he said that, then looked at Shi Sheng calmly .
He loved it when she kissed him, also when she . . . touched him .
And loved it more when she… called out his name underneath him .
“Why are you so troublesome?” Shi Sheng hooked onto his neck, pecked roughly on his face once, then dragged him outside without another word .
Gu Chi was very dissatisfied, he didn’t want a kiss on his face .
Hence when they were about to leave the room, Gu Chi held Shi Sheng and pressed her against the wall smoothly . His pretty face was greatly enhanced in Shi Sheng’s eyes .
It was already 10 minutes after by the time both of them came out of the room .
The family looked at them with dubious eyes, Lan Qing then separated Gu Chi and his dearest sister promptly .
Gu Chi looked at the merry living room, his sight landed on Shi Sheng who was speaking to his father .
She looked very obedient at that moment, with a bashful smile on her face, her eyelashes slightly droopy, right in place to block her eyes .
It made her true emotions underneath those eyes indecipherable .
But, he knew .
She was emotionless .

The only emotion he had ever seen was during the time she looked at herself, like ripples delicately rippling open . Very light, subtle and soft .
Yet, she swayed into the lake of his heart tenderly .
He had a different place in her heart .
A very satisfying one .
Shi Sheng probably noticed Gu Chi staring at her, and she looked up slightly with their eyes meeting one another .
Shi Sheng turned and said something to Gu Chi’s father, he sneered, then waved .
He saw her walking towards his direction .
“What’s going on?”
Gu Chi moved a little to the side, hugged her waist, “I miss you . ”
“I’m already here, there’s no need to think of me . ”
Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, “I’m always missing you, every minute, every second . ”
He wanted her to be by his side at all times .
Even if it meant doing nothing in the same space .
Shi Sheng leaned in to bite his ear, “There’s no use even you tease me like this, I can’t make it today . ”
Gu Chis’ ears turned red instantly, he had no other meaning .
Why is my wife so flirty?
“Aren’t you guys tired of being together all the time? Let go of my baby . ” Lan Qing came by and pushed Gu Chi away .
Gu Chi had respect for this brother-in-law, he only took a glance at his brother-in-law as he laid his hands on Gu Chi’s shoulder . Then, he shifted his sight away slowly .
“Dear, listen, stop pampering him . Look at what he has become after being pampered by you . ” Lan Qing started nagging like how he would every year .
“I’m willing to pamper him . ”
“Dear, why are you like this? You’ve always been the pampered one in the family!” Loving brother Lan Qing protested, his baby should be pampered instead .

“Well, he pampers me a lot too . ” Shi Sheng smiled as she nodded .
Gu Chi never let her do any chores at home, never forced her to do anything too .
Even in bed when she asked him to stop, Gu Chi would hold it and stop immediately .
Lan Qing gave her a ‘there’s-no-cure-for-you’ look on his face .
Shi Sheng patted Lan Qing on the shoulder, “Brother, you should look for a partner . ”
Lan Qing was speechless . What’s wrong with being single? I’m a single royal . Hmph .
The gala started to count down .
Three…
Two…
One…
The new year bell rang .
“Happy new year . ”
“Gu Chi, happy new year . ” Shi Sheng leaned in, then kissed him on the cheek .
Gu Chi was thinking .
What if I never met her .
What would I be doing right now?
Being alone in a lonely room, playing a game with few players, looking at the endless sparkling fireworks by the window .
He was afraid, afraid to return to that lifestyle .
He liked the warmth she brought him .
He could now sleep at night .
But, he didn’t want to .
He was afraid that she’d be gone in the morning .
“Ah, Gu Chi, get me my clothes . ” The voice from the bathroom interrupted his line of thoughts .
The party was already over, leaving a pile of mess behind by the time he zoned back in .
He walked into the bathroom slowly, holding Shi Sheng’s clothes for her .
It was foggy inside the bathroom, which made her figure blurry . Although Gu Chi had seen it many times, his face couldn’t help but heat up .
He passed the clothes over to Shi Sheng .
When Shi Sheng retrieved them, her fingers slid over the back of his hands . Gu Chi retracted his hands at the speed of light, leaving the bathroom quickly .
He heard her laughing lightly behind .
Gu Chi climbed into bed, tucking himself under the sheets .
The lights went off in the room, the room was pitch-black, leaving only the fireworks outside to glow from time to time .
The bed sunk a little, she came from behind, kissing him on his neck and downwards deliberately .
Her fingers unbuttoned his pyjamas nimbly, her hands that were still slightly wet caressed his chest .
“Shen Shen…”
“Yeah?” Shi Sheng held him close, “Don’t feel like it?”
“I thought you… were unavailable?”
“I lied . ”
Gu Chi reacted all of a sudden . Her menstruation is still a few days away .
Gu Chi turned over and locked Shi Sheng down beneath him, kissing her carefully as if he was treating a fragile gem .
She was the gem in his heart, irreplaceable .
I’m willing to climb mountains and cross oceans for you, to crown you Queen .
Gu Chi .
