Wen Yi will be attending the dinner party that will be broadcast live.
Since Wen Ge wanted her fans to see her real situation at home, Wen Yi naturally had to cooperate.
But showing your face is a hassle.
Wen Yi didn't want to expose her face completely to the media and be judged, as it would be troublesome to go out in the future. Wen Yi has never been one to create trouble for herself.
As Wen Yi was pondering how to handle tonight's dinner party, there was a knock on her door.
She looked up and saw a man wearing a mask step in.
A servant followed behind, carrying food.
Wen Yi has been drinking nutritious porridge for the past few days, and she is very sleepy, so she is unwilling to drink it. Second Master Gu has to force-feed her.
So he ate without any emotion or enjoyment, and his mouth had no taste. But now that the servants brought in a meal with delicious color, aroma and flavor, he could smell the aroma immediately and his mouth watered.
She adjusted her posture.
The servants placed the food in front of Wen Yi.
Every single dish is one of Wen Yi's favorites.
Wen Yi was fine at first, but now she really felt hungry.
But as she picked up her chopsticks, Wen Yi still kept a wary eye on the masked man beside her.
He stood beside Wen Yi, showing no intention of sitting down or leaving with the servants, just coldly watching Wen Yi.
Wen Yi was genuinely afraid that he would force-feed her again like before, so she explained her situation first.
"I'm not tired now, my mental state is very good, and I can feed myself."
Gu Huaixu was originally planning to leave, but after seeing Wen Yi's gaze, he was less inclined to go. Hearing Wen Yi's words, he found it even more interesting.
"Oh, not sleepy," he replied curtly.
When bending over, his hands naturally rested on the back of the sofa chair.
Wen Yi quickly gripped her chopsticks tightly, her body tense and alert as she leaned back on the sofa.
“I said I can eat by myself,” Wen Yi said, expressing her need for a certain lifestyle.
“But you don’t look too well; your face is a bit pale,” Gu Huaixu said deliberately.
Wen frowned and immediately thought of the extremely rough way the other party had fed her those past few days. She was really hungry now and wanted to enjoy a good meal.
After all, there was no food to eat that night, and there was still a tough battle to fight. This was Wen Yi's last chance to replenish her strength, and she didn't want it to be disrupted by this man's rudeness.
Wen Yi argued with Second Master Gu, "That's just your opinion. I'm in good spirits right now and I need to eat by myself. If Second Master has nothing else to say, you can go out first."
"This is my room. Are you sure you want to kick me out?"
"Then you can sit next to me and watch me eat."
"I haven't eaten either."
"Then let's eat together."
“I’m worried about you, I can feed you.” Gu Huaixu smiled. “After all, Madam said that we are a cooperative couple, and we should benefit each other and help each other. You asked me about the responsibility I took for not answering your call before, and I don’t want that to happen again.”
The other person talked for a long time, and Wen Yi was really annoyed. She was so hungry that she was too lazy to talk nonsense, so she simply pushed the person away.
Gu Huaixu sat down on the sofa to the side.
Wen Yi handed over the chopsticks, saying, "Eat it or don't, don't bother me while I'm eating."
She was very domineering and fierce. After speaking, she started eating with her chopsticks. Finding sitting on the sofa too tiring, she simply sat on the floor.
Wen Yi's mouth hadn't tasted good for the past few days, but now that she was in good spirits and a fairly good mood, she ate without any worries.
Gu Huaixu watched from the side, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath his mask.
"Second Madam," he called out.
Wen Yi's mouth was full, and she didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, so she just mumbled a reply.
“I’ve been taking care of you and feeding you while you were sick,” Gu Huaixu said.
Wen Yi responded vaguely, "I know, thank you."
A very perfunctory response.
Gu Huaixu chuckled and removed the mask from his face. "I'm very tired from taking care of Madam these past few days."
"Thanks a lot."
"Madam said we are a business partnership, right?"
"Yes, so thank you for your hard work."
Wen Yi's answer was extremely perfunctory, and she felt in her heart that Master Gu was a bit off today, and that what he said was also a bit off.
"So, Madam is better now, but I'm a bit sick because I was too tired from taking care of her." Gu Huaixu slumped onto the sofa.
At this point, Wen Yi, being intelligent, should have been able to understand.
But Wen Yi was preoccupied with this meal, and her brain was slow to process what she was doing. She gave a vague response and didn't take it too seriously.
Gu Huaixu smiled and directly reminded him, "My hand hurts, feed me."
"Oh, that must be hard work... what's wrong?"
Wen Yi finally realized that Master Gu had been rambling on and turned to stare at the man who was sprawled on the sofa like an old man.
He wasn't wearing a mask, revealing a scarred face.
At first, Wen Yi was scared and horrified when she saw this face, but after seeing it more often, she realized that it was just like any other ordinary person.
Wen Yi stared at him for a long time before swallowing all the food in her mouth.
Say it again.
"My hand hurts, feed me." Gu Huaixu repeated as Wen Yi asked.
Wen Yi's gaze slowly shifted to Master Gu's hand, recalling how the man had casually propped his hand on the sofa just now.
There was no trace of pain whatsoever.
"You can eat by yourself. Keep it up, you're very strong," Wen Yi said dismissively.
She planned to play dead and continue eating.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been hungry for too long, but Wen Yi doesn’t feel full at all, even though she has already eaten a lot, more than she used to.
"Sigh, it turns out that the partnership between partners is all fake. Some people demand a promise from me because I didn't answer the phone, but they don't remember that I was injured while taking care of them and left them to fend for themselves."
"So be it, it's all the same anyway."
Gu Huaixu's tone was full of emotion and helplessness.
Wen Yi stared at him with a look of utter incomprehension.
The main point is that these words don't sound like they came from the mouth of Gu Erye, the devil who is rumored to be a cold-blooded killer.
The tone was clearly pitiful, like someone who had been abandoned.
Wen Yi found this person inexplicable and planned to ignore him and continue eating with her head down. However, before she could take her eyes off him, she saw Master Gu raise his hand to pick up his chopsticks, but because he couldn't hold them properly, the chopsticks fell onto the table, and one of them even fell to the ground.
Master Gu didn't intend to pick them up. Instead, he looked at the chopsticks that had rolled on the ground and sighed deeply.
Wen Yi:......
Isn't this person a bit of a scoundrel?
Wen Yi originally intended to continue ignoring him, but then the other person sighed deeply, with a sense of helplessness and a touch of... pitiful abandonment.
Wen Yi wanted to ignore it, but she couldn't stand it.
Finally, he picked up the chopsticks again. "Your hand hurts, so you can't eat by yourself, right?"
Gu Huaixu looked up and met Wen Yi's gaze...
