Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’

TSBFL Chapter 33.1

Chapter 33.1: 欲念

[Desire]

Chen Xing looked at the tenderness that appeared in Gu Lang’s eyes and didn’t come back to his senses for quite a long time. It was only when Gu Lang repeated what he had just said just now that he asked, “What?” As he asked in a daze.

        

Looking at Chen Xing’s dazed look, Gu Lang smiled more and more helplessly and said in a low voice, “I am asking, why are you so persistent and want to return the money to me?”

 

Chen Xing didn’t expect Gu Lang to ask this question. Moreover, Gu Lang’s gaze made him subconsciously feel a little weak. He hurriedly looked away and lowered his head, stuttering, “This, isn’t this what we have agreed at the beginning?”

 

“Hn?”

        

The breath that came out of his nose sounded particularly sensitive to Chen Xing, and his ears began to redden uncontrollably, he rubbed his neck in embarrassment and said in a small voice, “That, that’s what we agreed to do on the day I arrived at Gu Residence ah! You promised me that when I returned the bride price from the Gu family to the Chen family, you would return the deed of sale to me.”

 

After Chen Xing reminded him of this, Gu Lang immediately remembered that he had never taken the deed of sale into consideration. At first, he kept it because he thought he might need Chen Xing in the future, so that he could use it to make a contract with him. Later, Chen Xing’s performance made him feel that there was no need for it anymore and that he could use some more moderate ways. 

 

But to Gu Lang’s surprise, Chen Xing kept thinking about this matter and wanted to save money in order to pay him back.

 

Gu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Xing whose face blushed red from embarrassment in front of him. He suddenly remembered something as he raised the corner of his lips slightly and asked with a bit of coaxing in his voice, “What are you going to do after you get your deed of sale?”

 

Chen Xing was a bit confused at this question, he had never thought of this question before, he looked up and stared at Gu Lang with a bit of confusion.

    

What is Chen Xing going to do? He wanted to live well in this era which did not belong to him, and open his own restaurant.

 

As for the deed of sale, it was only because he had taken over the responsibility that belonged to this original body after he was transmigrated over here, only then he thought that he should get it back. 

 

“I want to open the biggest and most luxurious restaurant in the country!”

 

Gu Lang looked into both of Chen Xing’s shining eyes, reached out and pressed his hand against his head, leaning in close and whispering, “But you don’t need a deed of sale to do that! I won’t ask you to do anything with the deed of sale, and I won’t restrict your freedom in this matter either, so why do you have to take back your own deed of sale?”

 

“Besides that, I’ve never taken the deed of sale seriously, and if you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have forgotten that it exists. But if you want it, I can give it to you right now, only you must never speak of returning my bride price again.”

 

Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang’s words were a bit strange, but for a moment he didn’t know how to refute it, so he could only look at him confusedly and, under his serious gaze, stutter and replied, “Ah, then, that’s fine then.”

 

Looking at Chen Xing’s silly look, Gu Lang pressed his hand on the top of his head a little more heavily, and moved a little closer to him. Only when he saw his cheeks gradually turn red did he speak without thinking, “But, you are so eager to get your deed of sale, do you want to leave the Gu Residence once you have it and escape to faraway places on your own?”

 

Chen Xing was still blushing because he was bewitched by his charming approach, only to hear Gu Lang’s sudden words, causing his mind to go slightly blank for a moment.

 

It was only then that Chen Xing suddenly remembered that even though the deed of sale was his obsession, he had never before entertained the thought of taking his things and leaving just like that, and had even vaguely considered this place as his residence or dwelling place. 

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who had started to drift off again as he spoke, somewhat annoyed and at the same time sighing he resigned to his own fate. He moved his hand away that was pressing on Chen Xing’s head and slowly moved to his tender white cheek, pinching the soft flesh on that cheek hard as Chen Xing froze, and laughed softly after Chen Xing hissed in pain.

 

The moment Chen Xing came back to his senses, what he saw was Gu Lang’s handsome face smiling brightly, like a cool breeze suddenly blowing into the warm summer sun, blowing straight towards his heart.

 

“Why are you so fond of being lost in thought?”

 

Gu Lang’s voice came again and pulled Chen Xing’s thoughts back, he looked at the handsome face close at hand, he then subconsciously took a step back. He moved his gaze away as he tried to cover up a misdeed but only to make it more conspicuous as he said, “No, no, I haven’t thought about that, I think it’s quite good to live here.”

 

Gu Lang’s eyes wandered between Chen Xing’s flustered eyes, his hasty hands and feet, before finally returning to his reddened cheeks, Gu Lang expression darkening.

 

Noticing that the atmosphere in the room had an indescribable oddity, Chen Xing wondered if he was sick, otherwise why would he blush from time to time when facing Gu Lang. He also liked to stare at Gu Lang’s face and be in a daze. Could it be that he was actually having some kind of presumptuous thoughts about Gu Lang?

    

When he thought of this, Chen Xing’s face turned green and white, at one moment he felt that he had a special insight, and at another moment he felt that it was not quite right or proper for him to spy on and covet someone as nice as Gu Lang.
