Chapter 317: You’re Still Playing? Aren’t You Afraid of Not Being Able to Leave Today?
He Yidu sat on the sofa and remained silent.
Qin Fang pondered it and concluded that the matter was grave. “Old He, I’ll get Lu San to go check on Gu Mang again.”
He Yidu narrowed his eyes and replied with disdain, “The emperor is composed and yet the eunuch is worried sick. What has Gu Mang’s matter got to do with you?”
Brother Cheng did not even say anything. The corner of Qin Fang’s lips twitched.
When he realized what was said, he stared at his friend. “Who did you say was a eunuch?”
…
The next evening.
Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang ate at Seal Palace and afterwards headed to the airport.
Before leaving, Gu Mang dropped her keys. She bent to pick them up, her hair naturally sweeping across her neck. Lu Chengzhou’s gaze followed her and he saw the hickey on her neck. His gaze deepened.
He may have lost control a little bit last night. Her skin was very fair and so any mark left on it was very obvious.
Gu Mang picked up the keys and stuffed them in her pocket as she pulled the door and headed out.
“Wait a bit,” Lu Chengzhou said.
Gu Mang paused at the entrance as she turned around to look at him with her eyebrows raised. “Mm?”
Lu Chengzhou did not reply and headed to the master bedroom. Moments later, he emerged with a shawl.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes and reminded him, “It’s summer now in country K.”
Upon hearing that, Lu Chengzhou went silent.
Gu Mang smirked in a sinister manner. “We can video call. You don’t have to look at things to remind yourself of me.”
Seeing the things that reminded him of her. Lu Chengzhou laughed and lifted his hand.
Gu Mang had no idea what he was intending to do so she did not move. Lu Chengzhou s.h.i.+fted his head as he brushed her hair away and touched her neck with his hot palm. His rough thumb rubbed the area below her ear.
“It’s good that you’re carrying my mark. I’m rea.s.sured,” he said with a low voice while smiling.
Gu Mang frowned as she thought for two seconds before walking to the mirror in the doorway.
Pulling her hair aside, she saw the obvious purplish pink mark. She observed it silently.
Seeing her pursed her lips, he thought she was angry. Guilt flooded his heart and just as he was about to say something…
Gu Mang suddenly turned around and strode towards him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and bit his neck.
“Sss…”
Lu Chengzhou breathed in and his eyes darkened. He gripped the shawl tightly and his whole body tensed up. The pain was alright but the itch in his heart was unbearable. It seemed like there was something in his body which he could not control.
Gu Mang lifted her head the next second as she narrowed her eyes and looked at the teeth mark on his neck. She raised her eyebrows in a rogue manner. “I’m rea.s.sured you’re carrying my mark as well.”
She bit forcefully so the mark was especially obvious. It would likely take five to six days to disappear.
Lu Chengzhou gazed at her beautiful face. Her eyes were looking downwards and they were filled with darkness.
Gu Mang c.o.c.ked her head to one side as she laughed. Her eyebrows were arched sinisterly. “Let’s go.”
Lu Chengzhou touched his neck and he could feel the teeth marks. They were still wet. He could not help but place his arm on the door, blocking her way.
Gu Mang was silent.
Turning her head around, Lu Chengzhou’s face came close to hers. He stared straight into her eyes. He had no expression on his face but his eyes were terrifyingly scary.
“You’re still playing?” The man spoke in a low voice. “Aren’t you afraid of not being able to leave today?”
He spoke through gritted teeth.
Gu Mang looked at him as they exchanged glances for a few seconds before replying, “I’m not playing. I’m just not rea.s.sured.”
“Tsk.” He placed the shawl on the cabinet as he pinched her chin. “You’re rea.s.sured just like this? Do you need to bite me from head to toe?”
Gu Mang pursed her lips in a serious manner. “Next time, I guess. If I don’t go to the airport now I’ll be late.”
Lu Chengzhou was silent.
…
The flight was earlier than the last one and was scheduled for 9 A.M.
Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang arrived at the airport at 7.30 A.M. and after waiting for a few minutes, Lu Chengzhou strolled out from the entrance.
