Chapter 168 Husband
Su Mi was stunned. Could they be considered a real couple?
In her understanding, a partner means a lover who accompanies one for life.
It is a marriage relationship without any barriers and with mutual love.
However, her marriage with Xiao Xuanjin had a time limit, and with the pressure of past events, she didn't dare to imagine that there was still any love between them.
"Xiao Xuanjin, don't you understand what I mean?"
"Why don't I understand?" He looked at her with a half-smile.
"I mean...are we the kind of couple that can plan for the future and have pure feelings?"
A relationship without any prejudice, without any emotion, just simply liking each other and wanting to be with each other.
"Oh? So that's what you think?" Xiao Xuanjin raised his hand to smooth her hair that was scattered on her shoulders and asked slowly.
Su Mi wasn't sure what he meant, "I just want to say that what you did makes me feel that we are that kind of couple."
"Then do you want us to have that kind of relationship?" Xiao Xuanjin held her hand tightly, as if expecting her answer.
"I……"
She couldn't say it, and she couldn't believe it.
Could it be that Xiao Xuanjin is still willing to talk about the future with her and still likes her?
Has he forgotten all the things she has done to hurt him?
Although he has not said that he has forgiven her, his actions have already exceeded the scope of their pre-marital agreement.
There were many things she didn't want to think about, fearing that she was just wishful thinking and being overly sentimental. But now that she thought about it carefully, many details stood up to scrutiny.
Once upon a time, he no longer resisted her unconscious approach at night.
No more sarcasm, teasing or making fun of her.
He no longer ordered her around or asked her to do things.
At some point, he seemed to have shed that hard, thorny outer layer, exposing his soft spot to her again.
He seemed to understand her hesitation and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked in a different way, "Have you thought of the answer to the question I asked you last time?"
The question he asked was whether she had any other ideas besides compensation.
He had asked before, and at that time she thought he suspected she had other motives, but now...
She moved her lips and was about to say something when someone interrupted her.
"Qingqing." A voice came from behind.
She looked back and saw Gu Mucheng in a white and gray suit, with his hands in his pockets, looking slender and graceful with a gentle temperament.
"You're back."
"Brother Mu Qing, it's you."
Gu Muqing glanced at their clasped hands, feeling only a glare, but remained expressionless. "Qingqing, do you have time? I want to talk to you alone for a few minutes."
If he hadn't told her about this matter, she would have been kept in the dark until now.
Su Mi was very grateful to him, but she still glanced at the man beside her who was obviously unhappy, and thought for a moment before answering, "Brother Mu Qing, if you have anything to say, just say it here."
Gu Muqing saw what she meant and glanced at the man beside her, as if he had just remembered that they were married. "When you got married, I happened to be busy and didn't go to the scene. Qingqing, you won't blame me, right?"
Su Mi shook her head. "No, it's all in the past, and I still want to thank you for this."
Xiao Xuanjin remained silent, listening to their conversation.
"Qingqing, why are you being so polite to me? When I found out my uncle was in the hospital, I was very worried and told you rashly. Then I remembered that you just got married and I disturbed you. You won't blame me, will you?"
"How could that be? Nothing is more important than Daddy's health."
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at Gu Muqing's harmless and gentle appearance and sneered, "Pretending."
This was very rude. Gu Muqing looked at Xiao Xuanjin with a cold look in his eyes. "Mr. Xiao seems to have something against me."
Su Mi knew that Xiao Xuanjin didn't like Gu Muqing, so she smoothed things over, "No, no, he's just like that, sometimes he has a bad temper."
Xiao Xuanjin glanced down at her and said, "Who said I have a bad temper?"
Su Mi hugged his arm and coaxed him, "No, it's me... I have a bad temper."
Now Xiao Xuanjin was satisfied, and looked at Gu Mucheng with arrogance and complacency, with a look on his face that said, "See, she only cares about me."
Gu Muqing clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling, but his face remained calm and composed. "Qingqing, since you're back, you shouldn't leave for the time being, right?"
"No, I'll wait until Dad gets better."
"That's good, let's talk again when we have a chance."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Su Mi looked at his back, lost in thought. Did he come to the hospital specifically to see her? His timing was quite punctual.
"Are you so reluctant?"
When Su Mi came back to her senses, Xiao Xuanjin had already let go of her hand, looking a little jealous.
"I just think of him as a brother."
"Brother? You call me that in a very intimate way. Do you really need a brother?"
Seeing that someone was unmoved and had his back turned to her without looking at her, he seemed to be sulking.
She walked around to him, tilted her head, her almond-shaped eyes bright, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"Su Mi, I'm warning you, stay away from those questionable men."
"Xiao Xuanjin, you are stupid. Why don't you think about it carefully? If it is possible for me to be with him, do you think I will still be with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pinched by the tiger's mouth, "Don't mention him again!!"
Su Mi raised his chin, his face puffed up because of his action, and his pronunciation was a little unclear, "Okay, don't mention it."
But someone was still angry, "What did you call me just now?"
After thinking carefully, I realized that it was Xiao Xuanjin who was called. "Name."
"What is our relationship? Why do you call me by my full name?"
Su Mi thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. "Then tell me, what should I call you?"
"Do you still need me to teach you?" Xiao Xuanjin had a very sour face, as if to say, "If you can't figure it out, don't even think about passing today."
Several names popped up in Su Mi's mind.
She hesitated, her tone vague, and finally called out in a low voice, "Mr.
After shouting, Su Mi felt too embarrassed to face anyone, so he took advantage of Xiao Xuanjin's daze to break free and ran away.
Xiao Xuanjin stood there, stunned for a while, then touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue and smiled meaningfully.
Then he shouted, "Don't run! Yell twice more so I can hear you."
…
Gu Mucheng returned to the company. As soon as he entered the office, he raised his arm and swept everything on the table to the ground.
"Crackling" documents and papers fell all over the floor.
He loosened his tie, his chest rising and falling noticeably, and he was very angry.
At this time, the assistant knocked on the door and asked him to sign. He yelled, "Get out!!"
When the assistant heard this, he ran away quickly, not daring to come in and provoke him.
Gu Muqing walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning, and was puzzled as to why they came back together.
And it seems that their relationship is progressing smoothly, completely unlike before when they each had their own concerns.
Wasn't Xiao Xuanjin planning revenge? Why didn't he do it?
Could it be that he just let go of what happened back then?
Why does Qingqing seem to be more dependent on him now?
What exactly happened between them.
They had just gotten married, but they were already showing signs of getting back together.
This shouldn't happen. What went wrong?
No… He couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
