My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 360: What’s wrong with 360, can’t it be kissed?

Chapter 360: What’s wrong with 360, can’t it be kissed?

Gu Yingzhou’s heart raced under the gaze of the little girl’s bright, shining eyes.

He looked away, saying with all seriousness, "What’s so special about that?"

He was several years older than the little girl, so what if he indulged her a bit?

It’s not a shame to act soft with one’s own significant other.

Lin Tang pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

Leaning forward, she planted a kiss, light as a dragonfly’s touch, on Gu Yingzhou’s chin.

She had wanted to kiss him on the lips.

But, fearing she might startle him, she restrained herself and kissed his chin instead.

Lin Tang felt she had shown restraint, but Gu Yingzhou was utterly unaware of her restraint.

A look of rare bewilderment appeared on the usually calm and composed young man’s face.

Gu Yingzhou, as if just realizing, touched his own chin.

His dark eyes suddenly deepened.

As if waves of shock and surprise were surging within.

That brief, soft touch sent fireworks exploding in his mind.

Fields bloomed red in the wilderness.

"Tangtang, you..."

Gu Yingzhou moved his lips, as if to say something, then swallowed the words back down.

He wanted to say it wasn’t appropriate, yet he feared he might lose such privileges in the future.

After struggling for a few moments, he didn’t voice it out.

Feigning confusion, Lin Tang hummed inquisitively, pointing to her chin, "What’s wrong, can’t kiss?"

A touch of begonia red dyed Gu Yingzhou’s porcelain-like ears.

His eyes grew even more profound.

Mist seemed to rise within them.

Making it impossible to see their depths in one glance.

"Tangtang, stop it," he said with a husky voice.

He was visibly roused.

Saying whether or not to kiss, such talk was a serious test for a man who had been single for more than twenty years.

Yet, Tangtang was still underage.

Even if he wished to marry her, he’d have to continue to wait.

Lin Tang reached out to grab Gu Yingzhou’s hand, their fingers intertwining.

"Okay, I’ll stop," she said.

"Zhouzhou, like this, when I think about starting a family with you one day, I get so happy," she confessed.

"I always thought that the feeling of initial infatuation lasting through time was nonexistent, but now I believe it."

Comrade Gu, you have the ability to make me fall for you more each time we meet.

These words are clichéd in the future, anyone could say them.

But in the current environment where marriages are arranged and no one speaks of love, it’s quite avant-garde.

Gu Yingzhou felt like his whole body was on fire.

Yet his heart was filled with joy.

The words of the girl he liked were sweet as honey; how could he remain unaffected?

He was deeply moved.

Unable to resist, Gu Yingzhou took Lin Tang’s hand and pulled her into his embrace.

"Are you trying to tease me to death, hmm?" he asked.

The man, who usually maintained his cool reserve, rested his chin on the little girl’s shoulder.

"Is this you not messing around?" Gu Yingzhou asked softly, his fingers gently stroking Lin Tang’s hair.

"... Just wait until I marry you and bring you home, then you’ll see," he warned playfully.

Lin Tang: ??

Was there a double meaning in his words?

Did she hear that right?

Is this still my Comrade Gu?

Lin Tang leaned her chin on the man’s chest, looking up.

She found herself caught in those abyss-like, pitch-black eyes.

Their overwhelming force made no attempt at concealment.

"Tangtang, I am but an ordinary man, don’t think too highly of me," he admitted.

He had desires, selfishness, possessiveness, emotions... Everything an average man should have.

So, don’t think of me as that great!

Lin Tang was slightly taken aback, then stretched out her hand to pinch Gu Yingzhou’s smooth cheek.

"Turns out, I’m also ordinary; we’re a perfect match," she said.

"No matter what you are like, I like you," she affirmed.

In a moment of impulse and heightened emotion, Gu Yingzhou wrapped Lin Tang in his arms.

He intended to scare her into not teasing him so recklessly.

Little did he know, the little girl didn’t play by the book at all.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Yingzhou let go of Lin Tang, smiling, "Hmm, a match made in heaven."

The little girl’s mouth was just too sweet.

So sweet that he wanted to leave his own mark on her.

Unfortunately...

Gu Yingzhou lightly rubbed Lin Tang’s cherry lips with his index finger, his Adam’s apple moving seductively.

Restraint laced with desire.

Lin Tang blinked her eyes and nestled her chin against the man’s muscular chest.

When she spoke, a sweet and cloying fragrance wafted from her mouth.

"Zhouzhou, do you want to kiss me?"

Without waiting for Gu Yingzhou to reply, she shook her head.

Her tone was teasing.

"You can’t, oh no, I don’t accept premarital intimacy. Otherwise, I’ll report you for hooliganism."

She had completely forgotten that she had just kissed him, stirring him up to start thinking about marriage.

One spoils their own partner as they please, and Gu Yingzhou acted as if he hadn’t noticed Lin Tang’s double standards.

He was more than pleased with the little girl’s words.

"Very good, knowing how to protect yourself. Tangbao, you’re awesome," he praised sincerely.

A girl should indeed protect herself well!

Lin Tang looked somewhat surprised.

She hadn’t expected Comrade Gu to react like this.

She laughed, the mirth in her eyes nearly spilling over.

"Zhouzhou, how can you be so nice!"

Gu Yingzhou was torn between laughter and tears, "Is that all it takes to be good? I can do even better in the future."

The girl had such clear boundaries in her heart that even if he wanted to treat her better, she wouldn’t have accepted it.

He could only wait for the future.

Lin Tang: "Then, I’m looking forward to it."

Moved, she habitually stuffed her partner with food.

She took out the sweet potato chips and hawthorn balls she made from the cabinet.

"Here, I just made these sweet potato chips and hawthorn balls, this pack is for you.

If you like them after you’ve finished, let me know and I’ll make you some more."

Lin Tang was generous with the ingredients; the sweet potato chips were thinly sliced, with a layer of fine, almost invisible sugar on top.

They were crunchy and crisp to the bite.

The hawthorn balls were also covered in sugar, sour and sweet, and equally delicious.

Even Lin Tang, who didn’t like sweets, found them utterly irresistible.

Gu Yingzhou glanced at the bag, "May I try some?"

"Of course, they’re yours to taste however you want," Lin Tang said with a smile.

Gu Yingzhou hadn’t eaten much that morning and was feeling somewhat hungry now.

Looking at the honey-glazed sweet potato chips, he was tempted.

He took one and put it in his mouth, and the crunchiness of the sweet potato chip was extraordinary.

The noise it made as he bit into it was satisfyingly crisp.

Crispy and sweet, unlike anything he had tasted before.

"How is it?" Lin Tang asked, as if offering a treasure.

Gu Yingzhou nodded, "Not bad, very tasty."

So addictive that one couldn’t stop eating them!

Gu Yingzhou stayed for a while and then left.

After he left, Lin Tang went back to the brigade.

At the same time, Lin Qingshan and Lin Shou returned to the Lin Family.

Lin Fu and the others learned of the news they had gathered.

The whole courtyard fell silent.

Breaking the silence was Lin Xiaojing’s suppressed crying.

Seeing the little girl’s tears falling like beads, one after another, Gao Ping sighed and embraced her.

"Don’t cry yet, with so many people in our family, there must be a way..." Gao Ping said heavily.

Hearing the news that Qingshan and the others had gathered, her mind became even more muddled.

Murder, that was.

How could Hongyan be so bold to touch human life?

What are we to do as a family now?

Lin Xiaojing looked up dully, hopeful, "Great Aunt, can my mother come back?"

As if she already knew the answer, her tears fell even harder.

Gao Ping glanced at Li Xiuli; both sisters-in-law were starting to worry.

If Hongyan couldn’t return, what would happen to the third branch of the family?!
