The Crazy Villain Wants Me to Love Her - Chapter 23
Chapter 23: We Can Try.
The lips moistened by the wine slowly pursed, gaining two points of dampness while savoring the aftertaste.
“It’s quite good, not astringent.” Jiang Chilou smiled as she put down her glass. As she looked up, she met Gu Wan’s deep gaze exactly.
She paused: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Gu Wan chuckled softly, slowly swirling the wine glass in her hand. The crimson liquid rolled back and forth in the crystal glass, creating ripple after ripple.
“I just suddenly remembered something.”
“Something you once suggested.”
Jiang Chilou was puzzled: “What is it?”
Gu Wan lowered her eyes and slowly drank the rippling red liquid.
With a soft “clink,” the empty wine glass was gently placed on the counter.
The person who had just drunk the wine looked at Jiang Chilou: “Is your period completely gone?”
Jiang Chilou nodded: “It was completely gone yesterday. I even took a bath last night.”
Took a bath?
Hearing the word, Gu Wan couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Chilou’s exposed skin.
It was fair and clean, inevitably reminding her of the large area of faintly pink skin she had briefly glimpsed last night.
Her eyes slightly lowered.
Jiang Chilou propped her chin on one hand, idly stroking the stem of the wine glass with her fingers, subtly observing the person across from her: “Why are you asking that?”
Gu Wan raised her eyes, gazing steadily at Jiang Chilou: “Do you remember what you said last night?”
Jiang Chilou carefully recalled what she had said last night. Related to her period, it could only be…
Thinking of a certain possibility, the hand stroking the wine glass suddenly paused.
Jiang Chilou looked at Gu Wan: “Are you talking about whether we should try making…”
“Love?”
Gu Wan’s voice was low: “Yes.”
Jiang Chilou’s eyes slightly curved, smiling faintly: “Didn’t you reject me? Why are you suddenly bringing this up again?”
“Don’t tell me,” she stared unblinkingly at Gu Wan: “You’ve changed your mind?”
After listening to Jiang Chilou’s words, Gu Wan’s eyebrows subtly arched: “When did I reject you?”
Jiang Chilou rested her chin on her hands: “You kept stalling last night. Wasn’t that a rejection?”
Gu Wan: “That doesn’t count as a rejection.” Since she didn’t explicitly say no at the time, it didn’t count.
Hearing this, Jiang Chilou blinked: “Well, maybe I misunderstood you.”
It doesn’t matter whether she rejected her last night or not. What matters is the present.
Jiang Chilou looked at Gu Wan: “Since you brought this up again, can I know your answer now?”
“Yes or no?”
Gu Wan: “We can try.”
“Tonight?” Jiang Chilou asked tentatively.
Gu Wan glanced at her, quietly replying: “Mm.”
Jiang Chilou’s eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Gu Wan: “In that case…”
“How about we start with a kiss?”
With that, Jiang Chilou suddenly leaned forward, propping her hands on the cool counter and kissing Gu Wan.
Their lips met. Jiang Chilou unconsciously took Gu Wan’s soft lower lip into her mouth and gave it a gentle bite.
As she bit, she stared at the stunned Gu Wan, a smile gradually spilling out from her eyes.
After a while, she released the lip, just about to pull back when her chin was suddenly grabbed.
Jiang Chilou was startled. She blinked, staring at Gu Wan, her gaze slowly moving down to the hand holding her chin.
“Why are you grabbing me?”
Gu Wan didn’t speak.
She just quietly held Jiang Chilou’s chin, her thumb pressing against the corner of the other person’s mouth.
Her slightly cool thumb pad slowly moved from the corner of the mouth to the lips, tracing the path and gradually wiping away half the color of the peach-colored lip gloss.
Gu Wan’s gaze lowered, slowly focusing on the lip gloss newly stained on her thumb pad.
This color… seems lighter than the one in the car that time.
Seeing Gu Wan holding her without speaking, Jiang Chilou struggled, trying to break free from her grip.
Unexpectedly, the moment she moved, Gu Wan’s grip tightened, and the action of grabbing her chin gradually turned into firmly holding her jaw.
Gu Wan stared at the person who had bitten her once and was now trying to retreat happily, her lips slightly curving: “What else could it be?”
“Naturally, it’s returning the favor.”
Hearing this, before Jiang Chilou could react, a cool touch landed on her lips, and an aroma carrying the scent of wine slowly seeped into her mouth.
She blinked, her eyes slightly wide, meeting Gu Wan’s deep gaze exactly.
Immediately afterward, she felt a sharp pain on her lip, and Gu Wan slowly retreated.
Jiang Chilou hissed, clutching her lip. She used her phone to look, and seeing a clear bite mark on her lower lip, she couldn’t help but quietly complain: “Gu Wan, you bite too hard.”
“I was very gentle with you, didn’t even leave a single mark. But you! You bit me and left a mark.”
“It really hurts.”
Gu Wan stared intently at Jiang Chilou’s lip, indeed seeing a clear bite mark on the lower lip, estimating it would fade by tomorrow.
She paused slightly, saying in a low voice: “Sorry.”
“I’ll be careful next time.” She originally just wanted to bite a little, but unexpectedly, the moment she took the other person’s warm and soft lip into her mouth, she couldn’t help but feel a desire to ravage it slightly, so she used a little more force.
Jiang Chilou lightly snorted: “If you do that again next time, I won’t kiss you.”
Gu Wan’s eyes paused slightly. She gave Jiang Chilou a deep look, then said in a low voice: “I understand.”
As her voice fell, she lightly tapped the wine glass: “Do you want more wine?”
Jiang Chilou looked at the half-full bottle and handed her glass over: “One more glass.”
“After I finish, I’ll go upstairs to shower first. You can drink the rest yourself.”
“Okay,” Gu Wan agreed, and poured both Jiang Chilou and herself a glass of wine.
After finishing the wine, Jiang Chilou looked at Gu Wan and smiled: “I’m heading up now. You come up soon after you finish drinking.”
Gu Wan chuckled: “Okay.”
