After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 393 - 383: More

"Are you okay?"

Seeing that Qin Yun seemed off, Pei Yan frowned and walked over, directly in front of Qin Yun, looking down at her.

With many eyes on them, he restrained himself and used a handkerchief from his role to wipe the rain off Qin Yun’s face.

Glittering droplets fell from her bangs, shattering softly.

"I’m fine." Qin Yun shook her head.

The temperature was very low today, the filming location was outdoors, and she was wearing a thin cheongsam, exposing goosebumps on uncovered areas.

However, the set was already prepared, and the director was calling people over.

She needed to go now.

Pei Yan grabbed her hand and called out, "Yuanyuan."

Yuanyuan, who was waiting nearby, immediately handed over the prepared hot ginger tea, and Pei Yan, with a furrowed brow, opened the thermos and poured a cup for Qin Yun.

"Drink it."

Qin Yun’s face was incredibly pale, and further delay would surely make her ill.

Pei Yan’s expression was also grim as he handed the ginger tea to Qin Yun’s lips.

The steaming vapor blurred Qin Yun’s view.

"Thank you." Qin Yun instinctively expressed gratitude.

Pei Yan’s actions paused, his expression becoming even gloomier.

Actually, Qin Yun was just confused from the cold. She touched the ginger tea, blew twice, then gulped down a big mouthful.

The warm liquid spread to her abdomen, making her feel much better.

After finishing the drink, Qin Yun handed the cup back to Pei Yan, her face pale, and her black and white eyes looked at him blankly, uttering two words, "More, please."

Upon hearing that, Pei Yan’s cold demeanor relaxed slightly, softened by her obedient manner, promptly pouring a bit more for Qin Yun.

"Feeling better?" Pei Yan asked.

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded.

After drinking two cups consecutively, she felt much more comfortable, and then accompanied Pei Yan to the next filming location.

Li Beauty had caught a cold after getting rained on to obtain information, as expected.

She returned to her courtyard, changed clothes, and lazily leaned against a chair, gazing at the rain outside through the window.

"No idea when the rain will stop."

She hated the rain; every mishap in life seemed to be accompanied by torrential downpours, unshakeable.

This time, the rain added to the task’s difficulty.

In order to send out the messages, their people changed several locations before successfully completing the mission.

As the mission’s core, Li Beauty was also the most endangered.

She almost got exposed today.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knocking sound came from outside.

Li Beauty was startled, rising to answer the door.

Standing outside was Gu Changjun.

He held a navy blue oil-paper umbrella, with a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, carrying a package of osmanthus cakes.

"Brought some snacks for you on the way; want to try?"

Gu Changjun looked gently downward at Li Beauty.

Li Beauty’s breath paused, almost unable to directly meet Gu Changjun’s eyes.

Because she realized she seemed to have feelings for Gu Changjun.

Yet, she was amid danger and couldn’t drag Gu Changjun down.

She intended to distance herself, but Gu Changjun, as if oblivious to her withdrawal, kept appearing by her side, stirring her tranquil heart into chaos.

"Have a fever?"

Gu Changjun, noticing Li Beauty’s silence, reached to touch her forehead, discovering it was quite hot.

Clearly, she had a fever.

"Call the doctor."

Gu Changjun turned and softly instructed his attendant, who immediately left to find a doctor, while Gu Changjun discarded the oil-paper umbrella and firmly held Li Beauty’s hand, leading her inside.

He acted like he was at home, settling her in bed, turning to pour water, and considerately blowing two puffs for Li Beauty.

"Drink more warm water."

His voice was both deep and gentle, inherently contradictory, yet enticing.

"Mr. Gu."

Li Beauty’s face expressed confusion, possibly due to the fever, her reactions were slow.

Gu Changjun brought the water to her lips, but she didn’t drink, only stared at him dumbly, mouth ajar wanting to speak.

Yet, Gu Changjun gave her no chance.

The cup was directly placed at her lips.

"Good, take a couple of sips."

Gu Changjun patiently and gently cared for Li Beauty.

Li Beauty couldn’t refuse, soon forgetting what she wanted to say, acting on Gu Changjun’s instructions, lowering her head to sip.

"Sleep a bit; it’s okay."

His voice was trustworthy, compelling belief.

Li Beauty closed her eyes, quickly slipping into a deep slumber.

In her dreams, she saw many strange scenes.

She dreamt of being captured, astonishingly by Gu Changjun, but unlike his usual gentleness, he was fierce and bloodthirsty, killing many to find the traitor.

Once it was her turn, Gu Changjun went mad, dragging her by the hair while slapping her and having her humiliated.

"No! Don’t!!"

Li Beauty abruptly opened her eyes, fear in her gaze.

"No."

She found herself unable to move, turning to see Gu Changjun behind her, his hand holding her waist, their intimate position face to face.

"Gu, Mr. Gu?" Li Beauty gasped.

Gu Changjun lazily opened his eyes, a hint of sleepiness within them.

"Mm?"

Gu Changjun reached to touch Li Beauty’s forehead, noticing her temperature had fully dropped, curved his lips into a smile.

"Fever’s gone."

"You..."

Li Beauty stared at the pleasing curve of Gu Changjun’s mouth, eyes wide, yet unable to speak.

"What’s the matter? Surprised?"

Gu Changjun adjusted his posture, choosing a more comfortable position, holding Li Beauty in his arms, "I thought I made it abundantly clear."

Li Beauty blushed.

Gu Changjun indeed made it clear; he teased her, kissed her, and brought her delicious treats.

If this wasn’t liking, what was?

"What was clear enough?"

Li Beauty’s face reddened, but her gaze fixed on Gu Changjun stubbornly.

"I like you," Gu Changjun confessed, murmuring.

Yet his eyes carried deep complexity.

Li Beauty didn’t see it, her chest tightened with a sour ache.

Gu Changjun liked her.

Gu Changjun truly liked her.

"I..."

Once the veil was pierced, Li Beauty found it impossible to feign ignorance.

"You need not wander nor panic, just stay by my side. As long as you wish, my side will always be your sanctuary."

Gu Changjun held Li Beauty tightly.

His heartbeat quickened, his voice deepened.

Though acting, he found himself seemingly entangled.

Li Beauty was not just a target to be conquered but an unforeseen change transformed by her presence.

"You can do whatever you want."

Gu Changjun brushed her forehead with a gentle, fleeting kiss.
