LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 60 - I
That night, Gu Huai pinned Mu Ci to the bed and played with him for almost three hours. It was almost early in the morning before he let him go to take a shower.
Mu Ci laid on the bed in a daze. His whole body was sore and painful, and he didn’t want to move a finger. He simply laid down and waited for Gu Huai to come back from the bath to clean him up and massage him.
Suddenly, Gu Huai’s cell phone placed by the bedside rang, and the screen lit up with a message.
Mu Ci subconsciously turned his head to look and suddenly a hand stretched out from the other side to take away the phone.
Mu Ci was stunned. Gu Huai had come out at some point, with only a towel around his waist. His well-trained upper body was naked, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist, and extremely sexy abdominal muscles.
Mu Ci couldn’t help but think about how he was pressed and fucked by this man just now. He couldn’t help swallowing and shrunk into the quilt. “…Whose message, is it?”
Gu Huai wiped his hair with a towel, while deleting the message as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing, just a notification from a subscription account… Let’s not talk about this. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to take some medicine?”
Mu Ci instantly retracted himself into the quilt and said dully, “No, it’s okay, it doesn’t hurt that much…”
“Doesn’t hurt?” Gu Huai, being mischievous, threw away the towel, got his hands under the quilt, and deliberately touched Mu Ci’s sensitive waist. “Here, let your husband check it for you.”
“Stop touching! It’s so itchy!” Mu Ci was laughing so hard that he couldn’t breathe, trying his best to catch the mischievous hand under the quilt.
Gu Huai, feeling sorry for Mu Ci because he must be very tired now, stopped after making trouble for a while, lifted up the quilt, and got in.
Mu Ci suddenly smelled the fresh fragrance of shower gel on Gu Huai’s body. He said dissatisfiedly, “I want to take a shower too. My body is so sticky and uncomfortable.” As he said that, he tried to lift the quilt and sit up.
Gu Huai held him down mercilessly, and the two of them pressed together tightly. He rubbed Mu Ci’s neck and said softly, “It’s not too late to go later. Let me hold you for a while.”
He especially liked to do some intimate little gestures with Mu Ci now. Although it was very simple, the warmth in it was no less than when making love. Gu Huai had never dared to think about cuddling under a quilt before, but now it had actually happened he really liked it.
Although Mu Ci was still not used to his intimacy and would never take the initiative to get close to him, it was already a huge difference from before.
Gu Huai had never thought that holding someone quietly would bring such a sense of satisfaction. He stroked Mu Ci’s back repeatedly, pinched his sore waist and legs, and felt uncomfortable for no reason while thinking of Jing Zheng and Zheng Xu Ran.
He couldn’t help but sigh, “Actually, it’s not easy for both of them.”
Mu Ci immediately understood who he was talking about and couldn’t help but curl his lips. “It’s not easy for Xuran, what difficulty does Jing Zheng have? Now Xuran has completely given up. I think it’s the best ending, he doesn’t have to go back and be played by that bastard.”
Mu Ci’s words were full of malice toward Jing Zheng. Gu Huai knew that he never disliked someone easily, so from this point of view, maybe Mu Ci felt the same suffering as Zheng Xuran.
Gu Huai sighed, already imagining how he would handle Mu Ci discovering tomorrow that Zheng Xuran was missing. With that in mind, he picked up Mu Ci and took him to the bathroom for a bath.
Mu Ci, exhausted from the night’s torment, led Gu Huai to postpone all his appointments for the past few days so that he could rest peacefully.
.
Consequently, Mu Ci slept until the afternoon, then rose with a sore back, dragging his heavy body downstairs for dinner.
It was a bit awkward, as lunchtime had long passed but dinner was still early. Mu Ci headed to the kitchen and ordered mushroom soup and two plates of light side dishes. He sat at the table, eating slowly.
Feeling uneasy because he hadn’t seen Zheng Xuran on the way down, Mu Ci’s first thought was that Zheng Xuran had gone out to do something. However, upon further reflection, he remembered that these days, Jing Zheng always coming here to seek opportunity meeting Zheng Xuran. So, Zheng Xuran typically didn’t leave the Gu Mansion without informing Mu Ci, even entrusting lawyers to handle all procedures. And if he went out, he would usually tell Mu Ci.
Sensitive to Gu Huai’s abnormal behavior the previous night and the unread message, Mu Ci’s heart sank suddenly.
He abandoned his half-eaten meal and ran upstairs. A maid below shouted loudly, “Mr. Mu, have you finished your meal? I have to put away the tableware.”
Mu Ci replied without looking back, “You do it.” He then dashed towards Zheng Xuran’s room.
The door was ajar. Mu Ci hesitated, then knocked. No one answered, so he slowly pushed the door open. Inside, there was no one to be found, but the bed’s quilt was in a mess, and there were two slippers—one by the table and one under the bed.
Mu Ci’s heart skipped a beat: Zheng Xuran adhered to the rules and would never leave in a rush without tidying up the room. Mu Ci lowered his head and noticed a slightly withered rose lying on the floor.
“Jing Zheng!”
In an instant, Mu Ci knew exactly what had happened last night. If his guess was correct, Gu Huai was definitely an accomplice! Observing the disarray in the room, with Zheng Xuran’s daytime formal clothes still hanging on the wall, it was evident that he did not leave voluntarily with Jing Zheng.
A surge of anger rose within Mu Ci. Gritting his teeth, he strode out of the room and grabbed a passing male servant. “Where is Gu Huai?! Where is he?!”
This was the first time the servant, Liang Yu, had seen Mu Ci like this. The man seemed furious and he took a step back in surprise, stumbling over his words, “Mr. Gu went to the head office in the morning and hasn’t returned till noon.”
