GTB Chapter 135

Chapter 137: Aren’t you going to thank me?

Jiang Jiuchu stepped into Crabapple Courtyard, looking at the brightly lit main house, her footsteps faltered slightly. To be honest, she was a little afraid to go in.

She worried that Shí Yan, having failed to kiss her during the day, would continue at night. She was truly afraid of being intimate with him, unwilling to experience that suffocating feeling of tension again.

She looked up at the round moon in the sky, then walked towards the swing set to the side.

“Miss, aren’t you going back to the house?” Green Willow asked softly, looking at Jiang Jiuchu sitting on the swing.

“Later! I just slept before dinner, can’t sleep, I’ll enjoy the moon.”

“Oh.” Green Willow thought it made sense, and helped Jiang Jiuchu push the swing.

Shí Yan, inside the house, had known as soon as Jiang Jiuchu stepped into the courtyard gate, but waited for a long time without seeing her come in.

His eyes darkened, and he put down the storybook in his hand, put on his shoes and got out of bed.

Jiang Jiuchu looked at Shí Yan coming out of the door, her expression paused, and then she continued to swing nonchalantly.

However, Green Willow behind her, seeing Shí Yan approaching, took the initiative to retreat.

Jiang Jiuchu looked at the overly observant Green Willow, pursed her lips, and immediately spoke to Shí Yan first, “Can’t Your Highness sleep either?”

“So you can’t sleep, so you’re swinging so late at night?” Shí Yan felt that his feeling in the afternoon was wrong. The woman in front of him had made no progress at all, and didn’t even dare to enter the house.

She really was a heartless woman. If they weren’t already married, he was afraid he would never be able to enter her heart!

“Wasn’t I just sleeping before dinner! How can I still be able to sleep? Besides, I’m enjoying the moon.” As Jiang Jiuchu spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the night sky, “Look, tonight’s moon is especially round.”

Shí Yan raised his head and looked at the starry night sky. His gaze fell on the round moon, and his eyes suddenly paused. He immediately turned his head to look at the nearby rooftop.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and asked Jiang Jiuchu, “Want to enjoy the moon?”

Jiang Jiuchu nodded, not understanding why. Before she could think more, Shí Yan grabbed her from the swing and flew directly towards the roof, scaring her into exclaiming and immediately reaching out to hug Shí Yan’s waist.

Landing on the roof, Jiang Jiuchu glared at Shí Yan unhappily, “Can you tell me beforehand next time before flying?”

Jiang Jiuchu looked at the tiles under her feet and slowly sat down, supporting Shí Yan.

She thought, could Shí Yan have seen the plot in the storybook and brought her to the roof to enjoy the moon?

“Okay, I’ll tell you next time. Who knew you were so timid.”

Jiang Jiuchu ignored Shí Yan’s words, holding Shí Yan’s arm tightly with one hand, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Enjoying the moon on the roof was indeed better than below.

But Shí Yan didn’t raise his head. His peripheral vision swept to the left. The aura was clearly still there, but the person was not on the roof. He thought that perhaps he was hidden in the tree. Who exactly was it?

Shí Yan lowered his eyes to think. There was no murderous intent in the gaze. Could it be him? He really was persistent. It seemed that his words last time were wasted.

“Jiang Jiuchu.”

“Yes!” Jiang Jiuchu turned her head to look at Shí Yan beside her. Few people called her by her full name like that.

“This Prince saved you today, aren’t you going to thank me?”

Jiang Jiuchu was stunned, and then immediately thanked him, “Thank you.”

Shí Yan looked at Jiang Jiuchu and shook his head slightly, “Isn’t a verbal thank you too simple, too insincere?”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu’s hand holding Shí Yan’s arm instantly loosened, but she didn’t dare to let go completely.

“Um… aren’t we husband and wife? It’s only right for you to save me, so there’s no need to thank you, right!”
