Chapter 142 Sharing a Bed
Chapter 142 Sharing a Bed
While Shen Wancheng was outwardly sorting the rough diamonds, she was already thinking about how to use them, how long it would take to make the finished products, and whether she could finish two watches before her wedding.
After Shen Wancheng had been watching for about twenty minutes, Gu Jinxing brought her a cup of hot water.
"Have a sip of water and give your eyes a rest."
Shen Wancheng put down the magnifying glass and spotlight to take a glass of water, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Jinxing's wrist.
Few people on Hong Kong Island don't wear watches, and Gu Jinxing also wore one on his wrist, though it was a very understated business watch.
Based on the design style, Shen Wancheng can be identified as a Patek Philippe.
Gu Jinxing noticed that Shen Wancheng kept staring at his wrist, so he asked her.
"what happened?"
Shen Wancheng asked, "Would you wear a flashy, ostentatious watch?"
Gu Jinxing stared at Shen Wancheng for a few seconds before answering, "Wear it."
Shen Wancheng nodded, "Okay."
The conversation ended there without any further development.
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao looked at these rough diamonds until lunchtime.
Lunch was also at the hotel, served by Aunt Liu, who cooked Chinese food.
Aunt Liu also specially made a dessert for Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao: bird's nest and white fungus soup.
Shen Wancheng took a nap in the afternoon. When she woke up, she didn't leave the hotel and continued to sort the rough diamonds in her room.
After dinner, Shen Yao went back to her room on her own.
Since Shen Wancheng pretended to be Gu Jinxing's female companion, she naturally shared a room with Gu Jinxing.
Since they were engaged and had already slept together, neither of them was being coy and suggested sleeping separately.
On their first night together, Shen Wancheng went to bed early. Since Gu Jinxing had come to South Africa, he personally inspected his company there and handled some official business. When he returned to his room, Shen Wancheng was already asleep.
The two did not meet while they were awake.
Gu Jinxing didn't know how well Shen Wancheng slept, so he only dared to get into bed carefully and didn't dare to get close to her all night, for fear of disturbing her sleep.
When they woke up in the morning, their eyes met. Shen Wancheng was stunned for a moment, but then said "Good morning" and got up.
It didn't make the situation awkward at all.
But tonight, Gu Jinxing didn't go out. After Shen Yao returned to her and Ke La's room, only Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing were left in the room.
Perhaps because they had acted too intimately during the day, Shen Wancheng belatedly felt a strange unease.
Shen Wancheng sat on the sofa without saying anything, so Gu Jinxing asked her.
"Still want to see a movie?"
It was 8 p.m., and Shen Yao had just watched a movie with Shen Wancheng before leaving.
Shen Wancheng stood up and said, "No, I'm going to wash up and go to bed."
"okay."
When Shen Wancheng came out of the bathroom, she found that Gu Jinxing had also finished washing up and changed into his pajamas.
Shen Wancheng silently complained in her heart.
The presidential suite even has more than one bathroom.
Having failed in her attempt to fall asleep early, Shen Wancheng continued to feign composure, walked to the bedside, pulled back the covers, and lay down.
Before closing his eyes, he calmly said, "If you want to read, don't make the light too bright."
The subtext is: I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me.
After Shen Wancheng closed her eyes, a few minutes later she felt as if the light in the room had gone out.
She opened her eyes.
Sure enough, the room was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
The darkness instantly dispelled Shen Wancheng's earlier slight embarrassment, and she casually turned over.
Gu Jinxing's voice immediately rang out in the darkness.
Can I hold you while I sleep?
? ?
Shen Wancheng was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.
Is this the question that Gu Jin's Guild will ask?
Is this the question that unmarried couples who already have children should ask?
It seems she wasn't the only one feeling a little embarrassed; Gu Jinxing must have felt a bit awkward too.
But how should she answer this question?
The answer felt even stranger than the actual action.
Shen Wancheng felt her face burning, but thankfully the room was dark and Gu Jinxing couldn't see her.
When Shen Wancheng thought back to the first night she transmigrated, how she was so open about getting rid of the poison, she suddenly felt that she was being too coy now.
She didn't answer Gu Jinxing, but instead reached out, touched Gu Jinxing's arm, pulled away, and then hugged Gu Jinxing's waist.
"Go to sleep."
Shen Wancheng's tone was calm, as if to say, "If you want to hug me, then hug me. I'm hugging you now, can we go to sleep now?"
Gu Jinxing's body stiffened for a moment before he placed his hand on Shen Wancheng's waist.
But he didn't hug Shen Wancheng back, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
In the darkness, Shen Wancheng smiled and soon fell asleep.
Gu Jinxing heard Shen Wancheng's shallow breathing gradually calm down, and his tense body slowly relaxed.
But I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and various fragments of Shen Wancheng kept replaying in my mind.
Just as Gu Jinxing's consciousness was about to fade, Shen Wancheng suddenly turned over, facing away from Gu Jinxing, thus widening the distance between them.
She then impatiently pulled Gu Jinxing's hand away from her waist, as if she was extremely annoyed by something restricting her.
But then he pulled the blanket around himself even tighter.
Gu Jinxing suddenly felt an emptiness in his arms.
But he didn't reach out to hug Shen Wancheng again, and only said helplessly.
"Good night."
*
The next morning, when Shen Wancheng woke up, Gu Jinxing was already up.
After washing up, Shen Wancheng came out of her room, where Shen Yao was already sitting in the living room.
Shen Wancheng inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
If she were to open her eyes and face Gu Jinxing alone, she might still feel a little awkward.
But then I wondered, what was she embarrassed about?
Last night was the third time we slept in the same bed, so what's there to be embarrassed about?
Shen Wancheng quickly prepared herself mentally.
She greeted Gu Jinxing, who had just opened the door and entered the living room.
Good morning.
Gu Jinxing remained calm and said in a low voice, "Breakfast has just been prepared. Aunt Liu made shumai and also cooked millet porridge."
Shen Yao got up and walked to Shen Wancheng's side.
"It's a good thing we have Aunt Liu, otherwise you wouldn't know what to have for breakfast, sister."
"Ah."
The three of them ate breakfast together.
Shen Wancheng already had enough rough diamonds to buy, so they had no plans for today.
Shen Yao wanted to go out for a stroll, but Shen Wancheng, considering that Shen Yao was pregnant, worried about any complications, so she didn't go with her. Instead, she let Ke La go out with Shen Yao to protect her.
Shen Wancheng herself was at the hotel looking at the sorted colored diamonds, and then sorting out some of the larger ones to make jewelry.
Shen Wancheng also designed some simple styles herself, just to pass the time.
Gu Jinxing, however, was still busy with matters concerning the South African company.
The whole day passed quickly.
On the afternoon of the third day, Shen Wancheng once again accompanied Gu Jinxing to the auction held by Earl Andrew.
