Goodnight Kiss from My Rumored Husband

Gu Nianshen perceived her complaint as whining in an adorable manner.

Without hesitating, he immediately locked his phone and turned the bedside lamp off. The room immediately became pitch black.

“Can you sleep now?” Gu Nianshen lay down as he turned his head to face Lin Yiqian with his brows slightly cocked.

Lin Yiqian could not believe that Gu Nianshen had actually taken her seriously and did not even berate her for whining.

“Yes.” She hurriedly nodded as she recovered from the state of shock.

This was the first time they lay on the same bed with the objective of falling asleep. With complete darkness in the room, Lin Yiqian was feeling more nervous by the second as silence surrounded her.

With her hands on her chest, Lin Yiqian’s gaze on the ceiling shifted from left to right and back.

While Gu Nianshen barely moved next to her, she could hear his breathing becoming evener.

Had he fallen asleep?

Lin Yiqian turned her head to find a man’s perfect face in view. The silhouette of the side of his face allowed her to see his long eyelashes and pointed nose perfectly. Slowly, she shifted her gaze down to his lips.

Her heart began to race.

Carefully, she removed her one of her hands from her chest and slowly inched it closer to Gu Nianshen.

Suddenly, she could feel her hand touching his as the surprise sent a jolt down her spine. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Gu Nianshen suddenly opened his eyes to look at her.

“What now?”

His beautiful eyes seemed to glow in the dark.

Despite his apparently annoyed tone, he seemed to have a soft spot for her.

“My stomach hurts. I think I need to go to the restroom.” Lin Yiqian pulled her hand away guiltily.

‘Damn. You lustful animal. Telling lies with such ease too.’ Lin Yiqian cursed at herself.

Gu Nianshen suddenly turned the lights on, causing the room to become fully bright once again.

“How is it hurting?” He leaned closer to Lin Yiqian as he asked.

Hearing that Lin Yiqian’s stomach was hurting, he was so nervous that he had forgotten about everything else.

Before Lin Yiqian could reply, his other hand went under the duvet and landed on her abdomen. “Does it hurt here?”

His palm felt warm against her belly, separated only by a thin layer of cloth. It was a kind of warmth that she had never felt before.

It was so warm that she wished she could stay in this moment forever, which further compelled her to continue lying. “Yeah.” Lin Yiqian nodded, gently.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Gu Nianshen said, decisively.

He immediately pulled the duvet away as he got out of bed.

“Gu Nianshen.” Lin Yiqian reached her hand out to grab Gu Nianshen’s hand. “I don’t want to go to the hospital. It’s a recurring pain that I’m used to. I’ll be fine after you give me a tummy rub…”

By the time she said her final word, she immediately regretted it. However, it was too late.

As her head dropped to avoid Gu Nianshen’s gaze, she cursed at herself in her mind.

Indeed, she was taken over by lust.

Gu Nianshen was confused by Lin Yiqian’s request for him to rub her stomach.

Of course, he was pleasantly surprised more than anything.

After he had recollected himself, he immediately sat down and extended her hand to Lin Yiqian’s abdomen. “Don’t worry. I will make sure they don’t use needles for any injections. You’ll only have to take oral medication,” he said with a frown as he rubbed her stomach.

He was negotiating with her in a loving way.

As if she had suddenly recalled something, Lin Yiqian felt embarrassed. “I… I’m no longer afraid of injections,” she stammered.

As a child, Lin Yiqian feared nothing more than getting injections. During primary school, there would be visits from doctors to give vaccinations to the students.

That was her worst nightmare.

Once, in order to avoid vaccination, Lin Yiqian sneaked out from the back of the school and hid in a large tree for three hours. Everyone including her parents, teachers, and students in the school were shocked by what she did.
