Chapter 182: Then we can only use any means to keep her

"I didn't want you to know. You came here with Aunt Zhang." Gu Huai felt helpless. He knew it didn't look good even though he couldn't see the crisscross scars on his back.

She was attracted by his face when she first saw him.

He didn't want her to see his ugly appearance, even from the back.

"Who knows if you're playing hard to get, deliberately teasing me to get me here, and you really don't want me to know. You can get treated at the hospital and then go home."

Gu Huai laughed.

He thought she was asleep.

"Did my playing hard to get work?"

The woman answered irrelevantly, "Tell me why you were beaten and I will tell you whether you succeeded or not."

Gu Huai felt the cotton swab rubbing against the wound, and he already knew the answer.

As for why he was beaten, his eyes were heavy.

Grandma asked him to divorce Azhu, and her attitude was stronger than ever before. He was unwilling and said that unless he died, Lu Zhenzhu could only be his wife in this life. Grandma felt that he had disregarded the reputation of the Gu family for a woman, and she became furious and punished him to kneel down and asked him to think it over carefully.

When my uncle who came to visit my grandmother learned about this, he deliberately added fuel to the fire. The punishment that was originally just kneeling turned into a family punishment.

It was originally my father's turn to do it, but my uncle said that my father would be too soft-hearted and that he couldn't let him realize his mistake so deeply that he would do it for him.

My uncle was very cruel, and my grandmother wanted to teach him a lesson but she didn't stop him, so this is what happened.

Lu Zhenzhu applied the ointment but didn't hear the man explain why he was beaten, so she didn't ask.

She put everything she had taken out back into the medicine box, and when she turned around, Gu Huai hugged her from behind.

The man's slightly cold fingers grasped her wrist, "Azhu, don't contact Cheng Huai anymore. Let's live a good life, okay?"

Gu Huai's face was pressed against hers, his movements were cautious, and his low, pleasant voice was mixed with regret.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked He Sui to be your substitute during the time you were missing. Now that I think about it, I was really ridiculous. You can scold me and beat me, but can you please not use other men to make me angry?"

He closed his eyes and his voice became even lower than before.

"I saw you wearing Cheng Huai's shirt and sitting on his dirty bed. At that moment, I really wanted him to never show up again in my life."

He couldn't bear to see her being intimate with other men.

Lu Zhenzhu's confused voice echoed in the silent bedroom, "Then why didn't you do anything to him?"

Gu Huai unconsciously hugged her tightly, his hoarse voice trembling slightly and cautiously.

"I'm afraid you'll be angry, afraid you'll never talk to me again, and even more afraid you'll really fall for him and do everything in your power to leave me. I'm afraid you'll divorce me."

Lu Zhenzhu lowered her head. The light from the ring was so bright that it was a little dazzling to her eyes.

She tried to pry the man's fingers apart.

Gu Huai's throat was tight and dry. He kept closing his fingers and opened his mouth to call her softly.

"Azhu..."

"Give me some time to think about it." Lu Zhenzhu turned her head to look at him. The man had handsome features, but his eyebrows were drooping, his eyes were dull, his eyelids were drooping, his face was pale, and he looked broken.

He looked at her helplessly like a poor homeless puppy caught in the rain.

But Lu Zhenzhu's heart did not soften, and she continued to pry open his fingers one by one.

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

Gu Huai remained silent, watching her leaving and standing quietly there until the woman's figure completely disappeared. With the sound of the door closing, he lowered his head, his expression mixed with light and dark.

The window that was not completely closed let the wind in, causing the curtains to flutter. Along with the whistling sound of the wind was the man's bitter smile and overflowing mocking words.

“Serves you right.”

As Wei Zhao said, he deserved it that he and Ah Zhu had come to this point.

Before Sese came back, he and Azhu were a loving couple. After Sese came back, cracks began to appear in their relationship. As he indulged Sese, the cracks became bigger and bigger, and became a hole that could not be filled.

Gu Huai slowly raised his face, his dark eyes staring at the ceiling light.

The white light was so dazzling that he seemed not to notice it and did not even blink.

Things have come to this point, he can no longer tolerate her being intimate with another man, let alone watching her become someone else's wife... His narrow eyes were gradually filled with darkness. Gu Huai raised his hand and looked at the wedding ring on his ring finger. He put the wedding ring to his lips, and his eyes became sharp.

It's impossible to let her go, so I can only keep her by my side by any means necessary.

…

The next day, Lu Zhenzhu woke up at almost noon. She changed her clothes and went downstairs, and saw a man sitting on the sofa working on his computer.

The heating was on at home. Gu Huai was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His slender fingers tapped on the keyboard with an indifferent expression.

"woke up."

Gu Huai turned his head and whispered. A smile appeared on his originally cold face, making it as gentle as jade. With a pair of glasses, he looked more refined than usual.

Lu Zhenzhu had never seen him wearing glasses before, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

"You look good in glasses."

Gu Huai closed his computer and pushed the frame of his glasses with his bony fingers. His lazy and casual movements revealed his inherent nobility. "If you like me, I'll wear them often in the future."

Thinking of what he said last night, Lu Zhenzhu sat down opposite him and asked, "You didn't go to the company?"

Gu Huai hummed, "Mom might come to see you. I'll wait for you to wake up and go to the company with me, so you don't have to meet Mom."

Thinking of Gu's angry mother yesterday, Lu Zhenzhu really didn't want to meet her, "Okay."

Gu Huai was beaten last night, and she was afraid that Gu's mother would blame her for this, which would make her even more angry, but she was too lazy to deal with it.

After having lunch at home, the two went to Gu Group.

Lu Zhenzhu was lying on the sofa, reading a sketch book that Gu Huai had prepared. There were paintbrushes and sketchbooks on the table. She read the book and then put it on her face, and fell asleep in a short while.

When Gu Huai came back from the meeting, he opened the door and saw the sketch book pressed against her face. One of the woman's hands was hanging outside the sofa, and the other hand was still touching the book.

He squatted beside the sofa with light steps, carefully took her hand away, took the book away, looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes softened, and took a thin blanket to cover her.

After staring at her quietly for a while, he took the documents to the coffee table to look through them, and then sat on the carpet to do his work.

Lu Zhenzhu was awakened by a knock on the door.

She opened her eyes and saw the broad back.

Before my mind was fully awake, I was attracted by a strange male voice.

"Brother, I'm coming in."

She raised her eyes and looked over. The man who came in had curly hair, a mole at the corner of his eye, and a pair of round puppy-dog eyes. He was a harmless Japanese handsome guy.

Lu Zhenzhu hadn't seen enough, so she touched her cheek with one hand and turned her face to the side.

"What are you looking at him for?" Gu Huaiqingjun's eyebrows were a little dissatisfied. Looking at her cute look when she just woke up, his heart softened and he felt depressed.

"I'm not better looking than him?"

"Look at me."
