Salted Fish Dream

Chapter 278 - 278 278 In-Depth Communication


278: Chapter 278 In-Depth Communication 278: Chapter 278 In-Depth Communication Gu Beiyan returned an hour and a half later.


After entering, he did not see Jiang You in the living room, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.


Then, he noticed the half-open door and walked towards it.


Just as he was about to call out Jiang You’s name, he heard some ambiguous moaning sounds from the room.


Any adult could tell what those sounds were upon hearing them.


Frowning, he strode into the room.


Pushing the door open, he was met with the sight of two slender, fair legs swinging back and forth.


Jiang You, dressed in a bathrobe, was lying on the huge bed, her slender legs raised and rhythmically swinging in midair.


One hand held a phone on the pillow, while the other supported her chin.


She was engrossed in what she was watching, completely unaware of the person standing behind her.


She even seriously commented a few times:


“This technique doesn’t seem quite right…”


“How flexible does one have to be to bend like that?”


“If I were with Beiyan, I definitely wouldn’t choose this position, it’s too difficult…”


“…”


The room was already very quiet, you could hear a pin drop.


Though she was muttering softly, Gu Beiyan heard every word clearly.


He never expected that one day he would catch this girl watching adult videos…


As Jiang You watched, she suddenly sensed a shadow looming over her head.


In an instant, a foreboding feeling surged in her heart.


Quickly, she turned off her phone screen, turned around, and slowly lifted her head to meet those dark, deep eyes, her familiar face entering her field of vision.


She swallowed hard out of fright, and giggled, “Heh, Beiyan, when did you get back?”


She thought to herself: He probably didn’t hear what she said, right?


He probably didn’t see, right?


Gu Beiyan glanced at the phone in her hand.


Jiang You immediately hid her phone under the pillow, feeling like she was blatantly showing her guilt.


Gu Beiyan then focused on her pale, delicate face and saw not a trace of shyness; this girl was unusually bold, he never realized it before.


Gu Beiyan spoke indifferently, “Hand over the phone, delete it.”


“Ah?” Jiang You’s mind blanked for a second, “Delete what?”


“What do you think?”


Gu Beiyan slightly narrowed his eyes; just thinking about her watching other men’s private parts made him uneasy.


Under his intense gaze, Jiang You pouted, realizing he had seen everything.


“I haven’t finished studying it,” she whispered.


“What did you say?” Gu Beiyan’s expression darkened.


Seeing his face change, Jiang You tensed up, quickly pulled the phone out from under her pillow, and handed it to him.


Gu Beiyan took the phone, unlocked it, and quickly deleted the video from her email.


He said sternly, “From now on, no watching such inappropriate stuff.”


Jiang You pouted, uttering a soft “Oh.”


“Besides, you don’t need to study this kind of stuff; aren’t you afraid of getting an eye infection?” Gu Beiyan was quite helpless as he lifted his hand and tapped her forehead with his finger.


Jiang You blinked her shining eyes and instantly sat up cross-legged on the bed.


She looked up at him with her clear eyes, “Then Beiyan, will you teach me?”


Gu Beiyan stared at her bright eyes, his body tensing.


She was wearing a loose bathrobe, and from his higher position, he could see her delicate collarbone and the hint of her cleavage.


With just one glance, his abdomen tightened instantly, and combined with her bold words, he was left speechless.


Before he could respond, Jiang You suddenly jumped up from the bed, pouncing into his arms like a little kangaroo, arms around his neck and legs around his waist.


Gu Beiyan was startled by her sudden embrace.


Jiang You bit her lower lip, her gaze burning as she expressed the thoughts in her heart.


“Beiyan, we don’t have to limit ourselves to just kissing and holding hands; we can have deeper interactions, right?”


Gu Beiyan: “…”


How could he not understand the meaning in her words?


This wasn’t the first time.


This girl was even more anxious than he was.


With one hand supporting her waist, he was worried she might accidentally fall.


“What is deep communication?” Gu Beiyan decided to play dumb to see what else she could say.


Jiang You tilted her head, looking at him with confusion.


Was she not being obvious enough?


After thinking for a while, she said, “You know, the joys between lovers.”


“Beiyan, don’t you want it?” Jiang You brought up the topic she had discussed with Lu Ling today, “Is it because I’m not sexy enough, not attractive enough to arouse you?”


“…”


A strange gleam flickered in the depths of Gu Beiyan’s dark eyes.


Jiang You said what she said, and pulled her arm from around his neck a bit before laying her head on his shoulder, whispering into his ear, “Beiyan, why don’t you just surrender to me?”


Her hot breath sprayed on his skin, making his heart flutter, but her bold words ignited an explosive sensation within him.


The hand holding her waist suddenly tightened, and his voice turned slightly hoarse, “Jiang You, do you know what you’re talking about?”


Jiang You hummed in acknowledgment, “I know.”


Her voice was crisp and sweet, ringing across his heart like a clean and crisp silver bell, trembling slightly at his chest.


“Plus, you won’t be disappointed by opening this fruit of mine.” Jiang You thought for a moment and then whispered in his ear again.


After saying that, she mustered her courage and bit onto his earlobe.


In that instant, Gu Beiyan felt like his body ignited into a fierce fire, and a surge of electricity scrambled inside him, like a wild beast roaring in his mind.


“Jiang You, you’re lighting a fire, you know that?” The man suppressed his voice, speaking deeply in her ear.


Jiang You didn’t deny it; she was doing it on purpose, “Yes, so, Beiyan, do you need me as your fire extinguisher?”


As her words fell, she found herself suddenly pressed in the center of the soft bed, the unexpected sensation of weightlessness causing her to instinctively hold him even tighter.


“No regrets?”


Gu Beiyan’s eyes contained a spark of flame and tender affection.


Jiang You and he locked eyes.


She shook her head, “No regrets.


Don’t you want to take responsibility?”


Gu Beiyan restrained her waist with one hand, pressing down, supporting the back of her neck with the other without another word.


His kisses densely fell upon her red lips.


His kiss was forceful, biting and gnawing at her soft lips.


Jiang You felt a bit of pain and slightly opened her lips, allowing the man’s warm tongue to delve in slowly but meticulously, like a king inspecting his territory, leisurely sweeping across the city.


Her response made Gu Beiyan’s assault even more fervent.


Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with this lingering kiss, seeking more as his kisses grew intensely hotter and no longer confined to one spot.


His kisses drifted across her cheek and made their way to her ear, his breath hot.


Jiang You bit her lip, slender arms clinging onto his robust shoulders, a current seeming to pass through her heart, an ambiguous moan subconsciously escaping her throat, making her blush.


In Gu Beiyan’s ears, her seductive voice acted like a hook, more so like some kind of catalyst.


He softly licked and gently nibbled on her earlobe, “Little girl, it seems you’ve really grown up.”


The man’s deep and thick voice caused Jiang You’s heart to stall, as if a feather lightly scratching at her heart.


Gu Beiyan’s kisses moved down her delicate, fair neck to her exquisite collarbones, as if caressing a priceless treasure, incredibly gentle.


Jiang You, at this moment, was like a fish out of water, urgently craving sustenance.


A touch of blush illuminated her eye corners.


Her body unconsciously arched upwards, her hands beginning to boldly move about on the man’s shoulders.


Gu Beiyan could feel a soft hand tucking at his shirt, then slipping in like a little eel from below.


Instantly, he felt the burning on his body intensify, dark eyes flashing with a trace of crimson.


How could he feel she was even more impatient than him?


“Jiang You, there’s no turning back with an arrow shot from the bow,” he asked once more by her ear.


Jiang You’s eyes were misty, and she nodded, certain of her decision, “I have no regrets, I’ve thought this through—after all, I’m not going to marry someone else in the future.”


With her reply, Gu Beiyan had no more restraints; after all, she would belong to him for life.



“Ah, no, Beiyan, it hurts…”


Just as everything was ready to erupt, she called a halt at the critical moment.


Gu Beiyan was startled by her crying tone and instantly surrendered.


“I can’t, sob sob ┭┮﹏┭┮”


Jiang You’s eyes reddened as she cried out.


“…”


Half an hour later.


Wrapped in a blanket, Jiang You sat on the bed with her head down, her face filled with guilt.


It was only when she heard the bathroom door open that she lifted her head.


“I’m…I’m sorry, Beiyan, I got scared.”


Every time she thought about what had just happened, she wished she could bury herself alive.


Gu Beiyan sighed, looked at her and joked, “Weren’t you quite brave earlier?”


Hearing this, Jiang You felt even more ashamed, her head hung low as she muttered, “I didn’t think it would hurt so much, I didn’t mean to, maybe we could try again…”


Gu Beiyan sat on the edge of the bed, held her and interrupted, “I’m sorry, I was too hasty.


Let’s sleep now, it’s getting late.”


Then, he tucked her into the blanket and slipped under it himself.


“Beiyan, aren’t you mad at me?”


After Gu Beiyan lay down, he embraced her, letting her rest in the crook of his arm.


“Why would I be mad at you?” he looked down at her.


Jiang You: “I interrupted you at a critical moment, are you really okay?”


She was worried that she might have scared him…


what if it left a mental scar, what would they do then?


The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she tried to get up, but the man held her down, immobilizing her.


Gu Beiyan’s husky voice spoke, “Stop moving, or I’ll stop caring whether you’re hurt or not.”


His threatening words made her freeze immediately.


After being silent for several seconds, she softly spoke, “Well, Beiyan, I have some experience this time.


Give me a few days to prepare, and I’ll be ready.”


Gu Beiyan thought she would back out, but unexpectedly, she was still considering it.


With his eyes closed, he ignored her words and simply said, “Sleep.”


“Oh.”



“Why do you look so troubled?


What happened?”


Lu Ling noticed that Jiang You had been distracted for the past few days, always zoning out.


“By the way, I heard that Cheng Ting was secretly taken away by the police, her acting career is probably over, but not many people know about it, and it isn’t being widely publicized,” Lu Ling said.


Jiang You just responded with an “Oh”, as she wasn’t in the mood to care about these things right now.


Suddenly, Lu Ling remembered something and continued, “I guess it was Mr.


Gu’s order.


After all, we just wrapped up filming, and the show has yet to be released.


If it can’t be aired because of an actor’s misconduct, then our months of work would have been for nothing.”


After saying that, Lu Ling realized that Jiang You wasn’t paying attention to her.


She saw Jiang You sitting in the makeup chair, lost in thought.


Jiang You was about to shoot a promotional video, and this was not the right state to be in.


Lu Ling waved her hand in front of Jiang You’s eyes, “Hey, snap out of it.


What are you thinking about?”


Jiang You came back to her senses, looked at the big mirror in front of her, and sighed deeply.


Lu Ling frowned and asked suspiciously, “Did you and Mr.


Gu have a fight?”


Before Jiang You could reply, she continued, “That can’t be right.


Mr.


Gu dotes on you so much, he probably wouldn’t bear to fight with you.”


Jiang You: “No fight, it’s my fault, I’m sorry to him.”


Lu Ling looked puzzled and exclaimed, “Ah, what did you do to Mr.


Gu?


Did you successfully make Mr.


Gu sleep with you that night?”


Jiang You didn’t go into the details of that night, just summed it up with, “No, we just slept peacefully.”


“Then why apologize to Mr.


Gu?”


“Because I scared him.”


“…”


Without context or details, Lu Ling was thoroughly confused.


At that moment, knocking sounds came from outside the makeup room.


Lu Ling got up to open the door.


But after opening the door, she frowned when she saw the person standing there, “What are you doing here?”


Liu Xuxu approached with a smile, “I’ve come to apologize to Jiang You.”


Apologize?


Lu Ling looked at her guardedly.


Could Liu Xuxu really be so kind-hearted?


She didn’t dare let her in just like that, so she said, “You wait here, I need to ask my Youzi first.”


After saying that, she closed the door.


The moment Liu Xuxu saw the door closed, her expression changed.


If it weren’t for the pressure, why would she ever come to apologize to Jiang You!


When Jiang You saw Lu Ling return, she asked, “Who was it?”


Lu Ling said, “It’s Liu Xuxu.


She said she came to apologize to you.


Do you want to see her?”


Jiang You rolled her eyes and said, “Then let her in, let’s see what she wants to say.”


Then, Lu Ling turned around and went out to bring the person in.


Jiang You, sitting in the chair, spun around and looked up at Liu Xuxu standing in front of her, knowingly asking, “Miss Liu, you’ve condescended to visit me, what brings you here?”


Hearing Jiang You’s proud and arrogant words, Liu Xuxu felt extremely uncomfortable inside.


But she remembered the words specifically instructed by her agent before coming here; if she wanted to continue in this field, she had to apologize to Jiang You, and it would be best if she could reconcile with Jiang You.


She conjured a somewhat gentler smile on her face, “Jiang You, I’m here to apologize to you, indeed I was wrong before.”


Seeing that forced smile, Jiang You thought it was fake but didn’t call her out on it.


Jiang You hooked her lips slightly, “Oh, where did you go wrong?


I don’t seem to recall Miss Liu making any mistakes?”


Liu Xuxu knew she was doing it on purpose, she endured the displeasure inside, yet dared not show it.


She said, “It was because my jealousy was too strong, I shouldn’t have made those petty actions behind your back because of jealousy, I shouldn’t have been so petty-minded or tried to frame you, I have reflected now.


I’m very sorry, I have caused you negative impact before, I hope I can get your forgiveness.”


Jiang You and Lu Ling looked at each other; could this really be Liu Xuxu, being able to let go of her pride like this?


Actually admitting she’s petty-minded, this is truly an unprecedented event.


Jiang You cleared her throat lightly, “It appears Miss Liu does have some self-awareness, seems like there’s still hope for you!”


Liu Xuxu awkwardly smiled, “…”


“Miss Liu, since you have sincerely apologized, if I don’t forgive you, wouldn’t that make it seem like I’m too arrogant, too unreasonable?” Jiang You narrowed her eyes slightly as she spoke, “You wouldn’t turn around and expose me to the media, would you?”


Liu Xuxu was stunned, her expression stiffened, she gritted her teeth and said, “No, I was the one who did wrong, it’s understandable if you don’t forgive me.”


Jiang You raised an eyebrow, “Oh, is that so?”


“As a narrow-minded person, I’m certainly not a saint.


I’ve heard your apology, and since there’s nothing more, you may leave.”


Liu Xuxu could not misunderstand her implications, “What would it take for you to forgive me and for Mr.


Gu to let me off?”


Jiang You suddenly realized and went “Oh,” “So you came to apologize because you were pressured, I thought you truly recognized your mistakes and came sincerely.


Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say.”


“Lu Ling, please show Miss Liu out.”


After saying that, Jiang You turned her chair back around, facing away from her.


Liu Xuxu: “…”


“Jiang You, you…”


Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Lu Ling extending her hand.


Lu Ling lifted her chin, “Come on, Miss Big Star, my Youzi still has work to do later, no time to waste with you.”


Liu Xuxu hadn’t expected Jiang You to be such a tough nut to crack; she actually got snubbed!


In the end, she could only leave with a belly full of anger.


After Lu Ling came back, she said laughingly, “You should have seen Liu Xuxu’s face, she was so furious it turned ashen.”


“But she was already so humble, how could you anger her?


What if she does something irrational?” Lu Ling asked after a moment, looking at Jiang You.


Jiang You said, “She won’t.


If she really wanted to do something extreme to me, she would have done it already.”


“Why?”


“Because she can’t bear to give up on the entertainment industry, besides, she knows my identity, if she really wanted to do something, it would mean mutual destruction, Liu Xuxu is a selfish person, she wouldn’t throw away her own life.”


“…”


After finishing the commercial shoot, it was already afternoon.


The sky changes as it pleases; just an hour ago it was clear with a big sun, now it was starting to fill with dark clouds, and fierce winds began to rise.


Jiang You had just changed her clothes, preparing to leave, when she received a call from Gu Beiyan.


The man on the other end asked, “Where are you?”


Jiang You: “At the photography studio, getting ready to head back, what’s up?”


Gu Beiyan: “Wait there for a bit, I’ll come pick you up soon, come back to the Gu Family with me.”


Jiang You obediently responded, “Oh,” without asking further.
