"Don’t wanna~ I want ice cream right now."

The little one’s voice was so coquettishly sweet.

Gu Chen felt like if he didn’t buy it for her now, he’d be a sinner!

But!

For his and Ji Pianran’s happiness, he was willing to be that sinner!

Gu Chen shook his head firmly, trying to scare her with a serious tone, "Oh no, you can’t have that now, you’ll get a tummy ache!"

Hearing her dad wouldn’t buy it for her,

the little one felt incredibly wronged. It was her dad who had first mentioned ice cream, and now he wasn’t going to buy it for her!

The more Tangtang thought about it, the more upset she became.

Her little face instantly turned sour, and she pursed her little lips, ready to start crying.

Looking at her about-to-cry expression, Gu Chen’s heart just melted.

A daddy really can’t stand to see his baby girl cry. All he could think about was how he just couldn’t let his child cry!

It’s just ice cream!

Gu Chen gritted his teeth, glanced reluctantly a few more times at the glass, before finally saying, "Okay! Daddy will go buy it for you now, but after eating ice cream, it’s bedtime!"

He himself could not be in vain!

Knowing there was ice cream to eat, the little one licked her lips like a greedy cat, climbed up to look at Gu Chen, and nodded firmly, "Okay!"

Without another word, Gu Chen stood up, grabbed the room card, and left the room.

He dashed straight to the hotel entrance.

All he could think of was to get there and back quickly, he still needed to watch his wife take a bath.

Gu Chen had no idea that Huacheng Hotel had switched to a card-operated power outage system!

When he took the room card, the room would lose power.

No sooner had he left than the lights in Ji Pianran’s room instantly went out.

Ji Pianran thought it was a power trip at first.

She called out Gu Chen’s name a couple of times but was met with silence.

She had no idea that Gu Chen was already at the elevator entrance.

Ji Pianran frowned slightly.

Well, the priority was to rinse off the foam first.

Thankfully, the water hadn’t stopped.

She groped her way through the dark, feeling her body covered in shower gel under the water.

After turning off the shower and wiping the water from her face, she took a few steps forward in the dark.

Her delicate hands fumbled blindly on the shelf under the sink, trying to find a bath towel or bathrobe or something to cover herself.

Regrettably, it was too dark.

And with the steam from the shower, she could see absolutely nothing!

Ji Pianran didn’t succeed in her search.

After a moment’s hesitation, she cracked open the door a bit, stuck out her head, and once again called out Gu Chen’s name inside the room.

She wanted to find out what exactly was going on, why the power had gone out all of a sudden.

Still, Gu Chen didn’t respond to her.

Instead, Tangtang’s milky voice floated over from the bed.

"Daddy went to buy ice cream~"

At that, Ji Pianran’s brows furrowed.

Gone to buy ice cream?

No wonder he wasn’t responding to her.

Probably wouldn’t be back for a while, she guessed.

Since Gu Chen wasn’t there, there was no point in asking Tangtang to fetch clothes for her. She herself felt anxious; what if the child got hurt somehow?

With that thought, Ji Pianran walked naked out of the bathroom, intending to find a candle or matches to get some light, so she could go and get dressed.

There was a small supermarket just ten meters from the Huacheng Hotel, Gu Chen had gone there and bought a box of ice cream, he raced back to the hotel without stopping. He was just about to reach the room door.

One hand holding the ice cream, he took out the room card with the other.

With a "beep," Ji Pianran instinctively looked towards the door.

She saw the light at the doorway gradually brighten.

Then with a "click," all the lights in the room lit up.

Every lamp, the floor lamp, the overhead lights, the bathroom lights – it was as bright as day.

Ji Pianran’s heart exploded!

Her mind went blank, her heart almost leaping out of her throat.

In an instant, she crouched on the ground.

"Who?!" From nervousness and fear, Ji Pianran’s voice was noticeably higher than usual.

Looking at Ji Pianran crouched on the ground, Gu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He had never expected Ji Pianran to come out utterly naked.

Truth be told, at that moment, nervousness overwhelmed curiosity in Gu Chen’s heart.

The scene was just too stimulating, the intensity a bit too much.

Gu Chen was lustful, but lustful for his own wife, which was quite normal.

With such a beautiful wife, if he didn’t have any thoughts, how would he be any different from a monk?

But he was not a hooligan.

Yet suddenly, Gu Chen was so thrown off he didn’t know what to do.

He swallowed, "It’s me, it’s me."

Hearing Gu Chen’s voice, Ji Pianran’s heart finally relaxed a bit, yet she couldn’t help feeling both shy and angry!

Not coming early or late, but just at this time!!!

And to remove the key card!

This man, he did it on purpose!

Shameless hooligan!

To think she even wanted to give him a massage!

The more Ji Pianran thought about it, the angrier she became. When she lifted her head to look for her clothes, she didn’t expect to find Gu Chen still staring at her!

He was still looking!

Really taking advantage as much as he could!

"Turn around!" Ji Pianran said, her face red with a mixture of shame and embarrassment.

At those words, Gu Chen hurriedly turned around, "Why, why are you coming out without any clothes on?"

"Who wears clothes to take a bath!!!" She practically gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Gu Chen was really bullying her too much.

After looking at her, he even had the nerve to ask her why she wasn’t wearing clothes as if she had taken advantage of him!

Too much!

Way too much!

At the words, Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, the statement sounding so familiar. He had seemed to ask the same thing when he took a bath during the New Year’s.

This really was... what comes around goes around, nobody is spared by the heavens.

He swallowed, "Should I, should I help you get your clothes?"

No sooner had Gu Chen said this that he regretted it. Wouldn’t he have to turn around again, and wouldn’t she think he’s a hooligan?

Thinking this, Gu Chen changed his offer, "Or, or you get up and put on your clothes yourself?"

Tangtang had been waiting for her ice cream for quite a while, and now she looked at her mother crouched on the ground and her father standing at the door with his back turned, her little face filled with bewilderment.

"Daddy, ice cream."

She had waited so long for daddy to come back.

But why was daddy standing at the door and not coming over upon his return?

The little one couldn’t understand.

At this moment, Ji Pianran stood up, feeling like she couldn’t breathe, and even her legs were shaking from nervousness.

"I’m going to change."

Having said this, she fled into the bathroom.

Hearing the bathroom door "click" shut, Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and walked to the bed, then sat down, handing the ice cream he was holding to Tangtang.

"Here, remember to do what daddy asked after you finish," he said.

Honestly, Gu Chen didn’t know why he had said that, perhaps out of habit, but at that moment, he wasn’t too keen on Tangtang going to bed early.

Children are the best tool to ease awkwardness!

Without the little one making a fuss, he really didn’t know how to face Ji Pianran.

Thinking about this, he sighed.

Was this affair, his fault?

He truly hadn’t intended to look!

Nothing to say... it actually did seem like his fault.

But it was just, it was just out of habit.

Getting the key when leaving the house is the most basic common sense.

Who the heck knew that Huacheng had become so advanced that hotels have become the kind where removing the card cuts the power!

The little one had her ice cream, indulging in the sweet treat, sitting on the bed eating in silence.

Ji Pianran, wearing a bathrobe, came out from the bathroom, her long black hair wet and dripping. Blushing from shyness, her delicate little face was flushed red, and her lips were even more irresistibly red.
