Chapter 77
Yesterday, Jiang Yan left someone behind, truly considering that in case they were photographed, it would be difficult to explain.
However, she did not anticipate that Gu Xilin would wake up early to go out and buy breakfast.
Steaming hot grain and soybean milk, translucent crystal shrimp dumplings, crispy golden brown potato shreds in fried buns, slightly sweet cheese and corn sandwiches, and rich aroma chicken and vegetable dumplings in seaweed soup...
It seemed like the entire breakfast street was bought out.
Gu Xilin kept glancing over at Jiang Yan, his small eyes yearning for praise.
But this entire table of breakfast unceremoniously ruined Jiang Yan's tenderness from last night.
Jiang Yan asked indifferently: "Were you photographed?"
Gu Xilin's attitude was nonchalant: "Even if I was photographed, I don't care what they say about it."
This was his usual attitude towards paparazzi chasing after gossip and scandals. However, when his name and Jiang Yan's name appeared together on the hot search trends, he was truly stunned.
He never expected that the paparazzi would actually connect Jiang Yan leaving the car yesterday with Gu Xilin going out this morning!
The phrase "Gu Xilin and Jiang Yan cohabiting" was brazenly displayed at the number one position on the hot search trends.
Both of their phones rang with calls almost simultaneously.
While Jiang Yan was dealing with her manager's interrogation, Gu Xilin came over, covering his phone and carefully asking her: "Should I suppress the hot search trend?"
Ultimately, this incident was his lack of full consideration. With the recent success of 'The Warm Human World', he should have expected paparazzi to stake out their location.
But his concern was not the hot search trend, but rather Jiang Yan's attitude.
Jiang Yan nodded, as the task was not yet complete, so she still needed to restrain herself.
Gu Xilin pursed his lips, suppressing the inevitable hint of disappointment, and instructed his subordinates to resolve this matter.
The aftermath of this incident was that Gu Xilin openly bought a house nearby for his comings and goings.
During this period, Jiang Yan's manager got her many new jobs.
Gu Xilin tried his best to find ways to maintain a presence.
For example, with fashion magazine covers, Gu Xilin insisted on having a dual cover shoot - yes, with him and Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan had always been known for her sweet and adorable style, and this time the costume design was well aware of this.
Her main outfit was a white ruffled blouse with a butterfly knot, tucked into a black pleated skirt. Her slender, fair legs were very eye-catching, and the white ruffled ankle socks further accentuated her youthful cuteness.
Gu Xilin, on the other hand, wore a loose black shirt paired with gray pants. He had never exuded a youthful innocence; no matter what he wore, he always appeared noble and alluring. The first button of his black shirt was undone, revealing a glimpse of his masculine, chiseled features, exuding a subtle aura of aggression and uncontrollable sensuality.
When these two outfits were combined, they undoubtedly resembled a couple's outfit.
But the magazine shoot crew did not provide any explanation. After all, Gu Xilin had imposed his presence, and he had chosen his own clothes. It had nothing to do with them.
Only a premonition that this issue of the magazine would sell very well. After all, it was the two's debut together.
During the shoot, the previous individual poses were abandoned. The duo's poses became a major challenge.
Gu Xilin stood behind Jiang Yan, his left hand gently placed on her shoulder, their bodies separated by only a thin layer of fabric. Gu Xilin gritted his teeth, controlling his fingers to prevent them from moving carelessly, resulting in him appearing very stiff in front of the camera.
Finally, Jiang Yan became impatient and instructed the photographer to pay attention as she slowly tilted her head back. Gu Xilin's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze changed...
At that moment, the photographer seized the opportunity and snapped continuously. From then on, everything went smoothly, as the photographer gained inspiration and had Gu Xilin gently embrace Jiang Yan's waist.
Ultimately, the shot chosen was one where Gu Xilin's eyes coldly gazed at the camera, while his fingers toyed with the small silver ornament on Jiang Yan's waist, exuding the most tension.
Thus, whenever Jiang Yan had outside engagements, Gu Xilin would always find a way to insert himself.
Finally, one night, under the pretense of not feeling assured about her returning home alone, Gu Xilin followed her to her door, where Jiang Yan grabbed his shoulders and kissed him.
Gu Xilin's dark eyes went blank, all of his senses focused on that one spot, the sweet fragrance unique to a girl enveloping him, the soft caresses and licks.
Jiang Yan's action was an impulsive moment, but she underestimated this particular person's potential in this area.
As she was about to disengage, Gu Xilin, his breathing ragged, pressed back against her, licking and biting her, as if transforming into a wild beast.
Jiang Yan slid down uncontrollably, but he caught her and pulled her back up.
When they finally parted, a faint sound escaped. Jiang Yan's lips were already swollen and bruised.
