Reborn To Love

Chapter 87 He Xinyan\'s Answer

"By now, do you. . . love me too?"

He Xinyan froze for a moment before she broke the gaze with Gu Yechen and looked down, pressing her lips together.

Gu Yechen\'s hand shook slightly before he squeezed out a smile, "Never -"

His eyes widened and he forgot to move or react when he suddenly felt her lips touch his. This time, she was the one to take the initiative as she placed both hands on his face, one on each side. Her eyes were closed tightly as she tried her best to use her kissing skills, although she didn\'t have any.

Gu Yechen finally broke out of his shock as his tense body relaxed and he wrapped both arms around her waist, pulling He Xinyan in.

He closed his eyes too as his lips started moving, taking charge of the kiss. How could he let his woman take the initiative in things like this? That was his job!

The kiss lasted even longer than the one at the wedding ceremony, and He Xinyan was out of breath when Gu Yechen finally pulled away.

However, he didn\'t let her go. He rested his chin onto the top of her head as he hugged her tightly.

He was very satisfied with her answer. . .

After a while, they went down to the beach so they could play along with the other people. After a while, a worker pushed over a cake, which had three layers and according to Gu Yebei, was shipped from the most famous cake shop in Country D.

The cake indeed tasted very delicious, and the cream seemed to melt inside Xinyan\'s mouth. She ended up eating three large slices so she was too full to eat other food.

The guests played until the sun had set, and some of them stayed and just slept on the sand. Others left after saying goodbye to He Xinyan and Gu Yechen.

It was late into the night when He Xinyan returned to the Xihe Estates with Gu Yechen.

As she got ready to get out of the car, Gu Yechen suddenly grabbed onto her and leaned forward for a kiss.

He Xinyan stopped moving and her entire body tensed up as she let him kiss her. She had kissed someone more times in this one day than in her entire life. . .

Maybe not including her past life. But still, she didn\'t kiss Su Zhiming often since he rarely took the initiative and she also didn\'t want to take the initiative in kissing him.

"Wait for me. I need to give you your present. . ." Gu Yechen pulled away slightly and whispered.

He Xinyan took a deep breath before opening the car door, "Thank you for. . . today. I\'ll see you later."

She got out of the car and quickly ran up the steps to the He mansion. She quickly glanced back before opening the door and entering the house.

Everyone was sitting on the couch inside the living room, besides Su Zhiming. Li Yuyan\'s eyes were red and swollen, and it was evident she had been crying.

When she heard the footsteps, she immediately looked up and glared at the person coming in. She grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it at He Xinyan, who swiftly caught it with one hand.

"Woah, woah. . . It seems like you aren\'t very in a good mood," He Xinyan said with a smile before placing the cup back down onto the table.

"He Xinyan!" Li Yuyan screamed through clenched teeth, "You did it on purpose! You are just jealous of me, and you purposely ruined my wedding!"

He Xinyan blinked her eyes a few times innocently, "What do you mean? Is celebrating my birthday considered ruining your wedding?"

"You! But you purposely did it at my wedding! You just don\'t want me to have a good wedding!"

He Xinyan listened calmly, "Your wedding date is coincidentally on my birthday, so I have to do it at your wedding. Where else would I do it?"

"You -"

Bai Jiawei knit his eyebrows together, "Enough! Yanyan, I know you must be unhappy about Yuyan\'s wedding being on your birthday, and we can do another party for your birthday too! However, you shouldn\'t have ruined your sister\'s wedding like that! Not only did you ruin the wedding, but you also lost face for all of us!"

He Xinyan grinned and walked over to the stairs, "Birthday party? I\'m good, I just had one! I don\'t need two, and my birthday is today. . . I don\'t need a birthday party on a day that is not my birthday. Oh, and also. . . I wasn\'t the one that ruined the wedding. I didn\'t ask Yechen to come. . ."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "You know what? I\'ll call him right now! You guys can tell him what he did wrong directly to him so I won\'t have to take the blame for him."

Bai Jiawei stood up at the mention of He Xinyan calling Gu Yechen, "Wait. No -"

"Yechen. . ." He Xinyan said in a very sweet voice.

On the other side of the phone, Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow amusedly and finished doing the buttons of his silk pajamas before replying, "Yes?"

"You shouldn\'t have come to celebrate my birthday today. . . My sister and dad are saying that I ruined my sister\'s wedding." He Xinyan pouted pitifully as she watched Bai Jiawei\'s face pale slightly.

"Oh, is that so." Gu Yechen caught on quickly, "Put me on speaker mode."

He Xinyan did as instructed and heard Gu Yechen\'s deep voice ring inside the living room, "Does Mr. Bai and Mrs. Li have a problem with what I did today?"

His tone seemed calm on the outside, but the slight threatening and dangerous tone couldn\'t be mistaken.

Bai Jiawei chuckled awkwardly, "Of course not! Hahaha President Gu, as Yanyan\'s dad, I have to thank you for celebrating her birthday."

"No problem. As her boyfriend, it is my duty to remember her birthday. . . Though I find it kind of weird that her own father doesn\'t." Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow as he slowly walked down the stairs.

Bai Jiawei\'s smile slightly stiffened, "Um. . . It is my fault for allowing Yuyan to have her wedding on Yanyan\'s birthday. Yuyan, apologize to Yanyan!"

Li Yuyan\'s face turned green and her eyes were filled with tears of anger once again. Li Huiran also furrowed her eyebrows slightly, though she didn\'t say anything.

"Hurry up!"

He Xinyan looked at the three of them with a smile on her face. What should she do? Should she applaud Bai Jiawei for being such a great father?

"I -" In the end, Li Yuyan scrunched her face up and ran away, bumping into He Xinyan as she ran up the stairs.

Bai Jiawei glared at his daughter before chuckling again, "Hahaha, I apologize for not raising my daughter well, President Gu. I will definitely scold her for her bad decision."

This time, Li Huiran also stood up from the couch and walked away, trying her best to maintain a straight face.

Bai Jiawei watched her go before moving closer to the phone, "President Gu, it would be a great honor for the He Corporation if we could have the opportunity to work with the Gu Corporation. Maybe. . ."

"Ask my Yanyan."

He Xinyan rolled her eyes as she thought, \'I\'m not yours\'.

"But last time she ripped the contract up," Bai Jiawei said as he glared at He Xinyan.

"Then I guess the He Corporation doesn\'t have the opportunity to work with the Gu Corporation. I have work to do. Goodbye, Yanyan."

He Xinyan turned the phone back around and hung up the call, "I guess there is no problem with me celebrating my birthday then. Good night!"

With that, she spun around and walked up the stairs into the room.

Bai Jiawei unhappily stood alone in the living room with her fists clenched together. Things have changed and it wasn\'t good. He Xinyan was out of his control. . .

He sighed before going upstairs too.

Inside her room, He Xinyan changed out of the dress and washed her face before climbing onto the bed.

Today was definitely a very memorable day. . .

The balcony door slid open and Gu Yechen walked in and jumped onto the bed, "How was I?" He asked with a smile, resting his head onto the palm of his hand.

It took a second before He Xinyan realized he was talking about the call with Bai Jiawei. She gently patted him on the head and grinned, "Good job!"

Gu Yechen\'s smile widened and his eyes sparkled, like a kid that received candy from his parents. He rolled around so he was laying on his back and lifted the blanket up to cover him.

"Don\'t you think it is time for me to give you my present?"

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "What present?"

"You forgot?!" Gu Yechen frowned slightly, "I said my birthday present for you is. . . myself."

He suddenly leaned forward so their lips were only centimeters away. Xinyan\'s cheeks turned red as she looked away.

Gu Yechen used one finger to lift He Xinyan\'s chin up before closing his eyes and their lips touched. He Xinyan was tense for a few seconds before she slowly began to respond to his affection and his hands moved to his chest.

The room temperature seemed to rise as they unconsciously moved closer to each other under the blanket, and He Xinyan was finding it harder to breathe.

Gu Yechen finally pulled away slightly and lifted his chin up a bit, his teeth tightly clenched together. His eyes were smoldering as he looked down at her.

"Let\'s. . ."
