Chapter 68: I’ve Been Bewitched by You—Can You Really Not Tell?
Gu Xinglan laid Qin Wan gently on the bed.
Immediately following that, he leaned over and pressed down.
He pinned both of the boy’s wrists above his head with one hand, while his other hand unbuttoned the boy’s shirt.
The fair body appeared even softer under the soft light of the floor lamp.
During this time, Gu Xinglan had been applying scar ointment for him every day. The medicine was indeed very effective, so right now, the whip marks on Qin Wan’s body had almost completely disappeared.
Gu Xinglan’s gaze slowly roved over the boy’s body.
A deep sense of pity and love couldn’t help but surge in his heart.
Qin Wan’s injuries were, to some extent, caused by him.
Only when the boy’s scars were fully healed could he forgive himself in his heart.
“Baby, your skin is still so white and delicate.” He muttered as if to himself, as if fulfilling a obsession in his heart.
Immediately after, he leaned down and kissed the boy’s chest.
His other hand moved gently to unbuckle the boy’s belt.
“You met Fu Yunting today, didn’t you?” he asked while kissing downward.
Qin Wan’s mind was dazed from the man’s attention. Suddenly hearing him ask a question, he was still a bit confused.
“Mhm,” he responded.
Gu Xinglan suppressed his breathing. “What did you say to him?”
Qin Wan frowned slightly, not understanding why the man was pressing for this right now.
Before he could reply, Gu Xinglan let out a muffled snort.
“You said that to me, you are nothing? Is that so?”
Qin Wan felt that the man’s tone was a bit abnormal when he said this.
A bit strange.
He tried his best to recall.
Suppressing the violent rising and falling of his chest, he made his voice as soft as possible: “Young Master Fu said… said I bewitched you so much you’ve lost your mind…”
Gu Xinglan interrupted him. “Haven’t you?”
The corners of his eyes tilted slightly. “Qin Wan, do you really think so?”
He stopped for a moment, staring into the boy’s dark eyes clouded with mist.
“I…”
Qin Wan had no idea how to answer.
In his heart, he cursed Fu Yunting to the bone.
It was all because of that big-mouthed brat reporting back to Gu Xinglan, making him fall into this passive position for no reason.
Gu Xinglan reached out and took a thin black latex glove from the nightstand.
He put it on his right hand.
“Baby, I’ve been bewitched by you to what extent—can you really not tell? To actually say such words?” His voice was low and alluring.
“Then, do I need to give you a small punishment…”
As he spoke, the long fingers of his gloved hand moved slightly.
The pure black, high-quality thin latex glove fit his fingers perfectly.
It wrapped his slender, elegant, and well-defined hand in an exceptionally sexy and tempting way.
It flickered with a dark glow under the light, inexplicably radiating an aggression steeped in the aesthetics of violence.
Looking at it, Qin Wan’s eyes couldn’t help but shrink violently.
“Gege, you… you want…”
Gu Xinglan bit his earlobe gently, whispering enticingly, “Baby, let’s play something different, okay…”
As he spoke, his hand gently moved to the boy’s soft waist…
From seven in the evening until midnight.
Gu Xinglan made Qin Wan fully realize that he had indeed bewitched the man until he lost his mind.
When Qin Wan woke up in a daze, Gu Xinglan was holding him and bathing him.
“Baby, do you know now?”
“To me, what are you?” As he spoke, he kissed the boy’s cheek with extreme gentleness.
Qin Wan had no strength left in his body at all.
He couldn’t even summon the energy to speak.
He only let out a low “Mhm.”
Gu Xinglan wouldn’t let it go. “Mhm. Speak—what are you?”
Qin Wan really didn’t know how to answer, and he shook his head with an extremely small movement.
Gu Xinglan’s gaze was extremely tender. “Still don’t know? Then Laogong will tell you.”
His tone was serious to the point of being devout as he spoke word by word: “Remember, you are my Wife…”
When Qin Wan went to work the next day, he was late by half an hour for the first time.
Of course, Li Ye didn’t ask for a reason at all.
Because Gu Xinglan had already called him.
Li Ye greeted him with a smile and then left.
Qin Wan put on his chef’s uniform with some embarrassment, attempting to use the busy work to dilute the wild thoughts in his mind.
However, when he finished a busy period and had some leisure time, his mind still couldn’t help but recall the scenes that had occurred last night.
Gu Xinglan’s “tricks”—he felt his face turn red and his heart race just thinking about them.
But that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was the words the man had said while bathing him after everything was finished.
He had once again said that he was his “Wife.”
If those words had been said during their “tumbling,” he could have seen them as mad words spoken while his big brain was controlled by his little brain.
But last night, Gu Xinglan had undoubtedly been truly sober and calm.
This only made Qin Wan more confused.
Could it be that in his heart, the man really regarded him as a lover?
No matter what, Qin Wan couldn’t convince himself to believe it.
How could a man like Gu Xinglan, who stood at the top of the pyramid, fall in love with someone like him, who was lowly born and had a long list of prior offenses?
Moreover, his personality was so cold and hard; how could he possibly have the merit to warm the man’s heart?
Qin Wan’s mind was a mess.
Without paying attention, a drop of hot oil splattered out of the pan and landed on the back of his hand.
“Hiss—” He gasped from the burn.
He didn’t dare to get distracted again, gathering his thoughts and focusing on his cooking.
At this moment, Gu Xinglan, Li Ye, and Fu Yunting were drinking tea in the tea room.
After Fu Yunting had gotten drunk at Jinghongyan yesterday noon, Qin Wan had called Li Ye.
Li Ye hurried back to the restaurant and sent the young master home.
By evening, Fu Yunting had sobered up.
He was naturally a person with a loose tongue who couldn’t keep secrets.
He immediately called Gu Xinglan and told him about his encounter with Qin Wan at Jinghongyan today.
“A-Lan, he seems to not understand your heart at all!” Fu Yunting said.
“I said you love him like a treasure, but he didn’t believe it.”
“He even said that to you, he is nothing!”
“Tell me—your sincerity and love, have they all gone down the drain?”
When he wanted to complain more, he only heard a series of “beep beep beep” busy tones from the phone.
“A-Ye, look at him. Last night when I called him to talk about Qin Wan, he actually hung up on me! Tell me—is that any way to act?”
Fu Yunting said with a sense of grievance.
Li Ye laughed. “You must have had a loose tongue again, right?”
Fu Yunting pouted. “I didn’t! As soon as I discovered anything about Qin Wan, I hurried to report it to him!”
“Qin Wan simply doesn’t understand A-Lan’s feelings! But A-Lan still doesn’t appreciate my kindness!”
Gu Xinglan picked up his teacup and gently blew on it.
His expression was serious, a smile on his lips, as he spoke slowly and deliberately.
“I talked with A-Wan last night. I’ve already helped him realize his mistake; he indicated that he will position himself correctly in the future.”
Fu Yunting shrugged his shoulders. “Fine, as long as you like it.”
Li Ye asked with a smile, “Yunting, you weren’t beaten up by him again yesterday, were you?”
Fu Yunting rolled his eyes. “Why would he beat me up for no reason?”
He rubbed his chin. “Actually, I think when Qin Wan isn’t being crazy, he’s quite interesting.”
Hearing this, Gu Xinglan looked up, intrigued.
Fu Yunting continued, “I asked him what is the most important thing when two people are together. He said: respect, understanding, and tolerance. Thinking about it, it actually makes quite a bit of sense.”
Gu Xinglan silently repeated these three words and etched them into his heart.
Li Ye nodded. “Qin Wan is a very good child. Don’t look at his young age; he is very transparent. Moreover, he is serious in his work, and his personality is cheerful and easygoing.”
He patted Fu Yunting’s shoulder. “Now you know why Xinglan treats him like a treasure, right?”
Fu Yunting let out a breath. “Yeah!”
Li Ye changed the subject and asked, “Yunting, about you and Xingcheng—what are you actually thinking?”
