Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Big Crocodile Eats Small Crocodile (1)

Gu Nuan didn’t know if she would be able to sleep tonight.

The man lying beside her was quiet tonight, unlike last night, showing no intention of crossing the line.

The bed, which was one and a half meters wide, hadn’t changed. He said he would bring in a three-meter bed, but for some reason, it never arrived. But it was obvious why: the room was so small that if a three-meter bed was brought in, it would take up the entire space.

Glancing over, past the line, it seemed like he was asleep, yet not completely.

In the dark bedroom, only his vague facial contours were faintly discernible, sharp-edged and firm.

Gu Nuan turned over, clenched her hand into a fist, and pulled up the blanket.

Thinking about that kiss in the living room, which felt so natural. When he kissed her, she didn’t reject him at first.

By the time she came to her senses, this man, who had just tasted the temptation of Eve, was trying to pry open her mouth.

In the end, she had forgotten how the kiss terminated; her mind was almost completely blank. She only knew that finally, they could only hear each other’s breaths, so hurried, as if on the brink of erupting.

What followed was an interruption by a phone call.

It was from her mother.

Gu’s mother had a nightmare, on the very night her daughter had an incident. After the nightmare, Gu’s mother was disturbed and had been twitching in her left and right eyes for two days, until she couldn’t resist anymore and called to inquire about her daughter’s well-being.

So Gu Nuan took the opportunity to tell her family that she had found a job.

"You found a job?" her mother said happily, "That’s a good thing. It means my nightmare was actually a good dream."

Her father, next to her mother, poured cold water on the excitement: "I’ve told you that dreams aren’t real, but you never believe me."

What exactly had her mother dreamed of?

Gu’s mother never did say.

Gu Nuan, however, had a vague idea.

Actually, her mother didn’t want to call her daughter; she wanted to call her son.

Most likely, Gu’s mother had dreamed again of the time when her son was taken away.

Suddenly, Gu Nuan’s mood plummeted.

Even he could clearly sense the sudden shift in her emotions.

She could see the hesitation in his eyes, as if he wanted her to speak up on her own.

But that was something she would never discuss.

She could talk to him about anything, even everything concerning Wa Zicong, but Xiaosheng’s matter, which involved her own parents, was absolutely off-limits.

Selling children is a crime punishable by prison, regardless of the reasons.

A kiss that seemed ready to break through its cocoon, suddenly cooled down.

He appeared somewhat anxious and restless, going into the shower room for a quick shower. Then, he didn’t even bother reading his usual comic books and went straight to bed.

In that moment, she felt as if she had realized something.

This man, who claimed he could buy the whole world with money, an excessively wealthy man, wanted something that couldn’t be bought. That’s why he was so clear in his heart and never spoke of buying with money.

He—desired her heart.

This thought made her heart rate surge with a kind of terror, as if it were an unceasing, raging sea.

Her heart, even when involved with Wa Zicong, had never been entirely handed over.

With Wa Zicong, their relationship spanned from childhood sweethearts to classmates, innocent and pure. However, due to the terrifying experience she had gone through in her childhood, she couldn’t easily give away all of herself emotionally.

Fortunately, Wa Zicong didn’t seem to want everything from her, preferring to keep personal spaces for themselves.
