Wen Yi stared at Master Gu for a long time, then curled her lips and said, "I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me."
She spoke quite seriously.
Gu Huaixu seemed to have anticipated Wen Yi's response. He initially just smiled faintly, then chuckled softly and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
But the hand remained on Wen Yi's head, and after gently patting it twice, it suddenly turned around and asked Wen Yi, "What if you really fall in love?"
Xiao Kongkong, who was driving, almost stepped on the gas pedal too hard. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she couldn't help but peek at the scene of the couple in the rearview mirror.
Wen Yi never expected the other party to give such an answer, but she felt no emotional fluctuation. She simply gave Master Gu a forced smile.
"Oh, I see."
"That's it?" Gu Huaixu lowered his hand, quite surprised by Wen Yi's composure.
"Otherwise what?" Wen Yi retorted.
Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow, his face behind the mask displaying a variety of expressions. "I thought you would be moved, that we could take things further, or that you would ask me why I fell in love with you."
"I'm not a little girl."
"Then what?"
“I can distinguish between these obviously joking remarks.”
It's obvious he was just teasing her.
Moreover, Wen Yi knows herself; she is someone who has no capacity to be loved or cared for.
It took Wen Yi so long to realize that loving someone requires ability, but being loved and cherished by someone also requires ability.
She didn't.
Not at all.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even dislike or hate their own parents.
Gu Huaixu thought he had found salvation...
Maybe it was just a passing fancy for him back then, something he was having fun with. In the end, he just abandoned it without a second thought. Now he thinks it's funny and comes back to tease Wen Yi.
Therefore, for someone who lacks the capacity to be loved, even if someone suddenly appears who loves them, it's just an illusion.
"Second Master Gu, you should make fewer jokes like this in the future. It's quite boring," Wen Yi reminded the man next to her.
"So you mean you're pretty disgusted by it?"
This time, Wen Yi didn't answer, but instead gave Master Gu a look that said, "You know it."
Gu Huaixu simply chuckled and said nothing more.
He didn't speak, and Wen Yi didn't speak either; the carriage suddenly fell silent.
The car stopped at a red light at the intersection.
"Turn right, I'm going back to the Wen family's place," Wen Yi reminded him.
Xiao Kongkong glanced at Master Gu in the rearview mirror, and after receiving his approval, turned right and headed towards the Wen family's location.
Wen Yi adjusted her posture.
She made the decision to return to the Wen family on short notice, thinking that the man beside her would at least ask a question, but even when the car arrived at the Wen family's door, Second Master Gu didn't ask a single question.
Even after the car came to a complete stop, Second Master Gu gentlemanly got out and opened the car door for Wen Yi.
"Do you need me to accompany Madam inside?" Gu Huaixu asked.
Wen shook her head. "No need. I'm just going home for a meal and to check on my sister."
As Wen Yi was speaking, another car pulled up behind him.
Both Wen Yi and Gu Huaixu recognized the car as belonging to the Gu family.
Gu Zeyu got out of the car, staring intently at Wen Yi, but when he saw Second Master Gu, he clearly hesitated.
"You came after me right after I confessed your feelings?" Gu Huaixu whispered in Wen Yi's ear.
Wen Yi didn't answer. Instead, she took off Master Gu's mask, held the back of his head, and kissed him.
Wen Yi slightly changed his posture. Since Master Gu's back was to Gu Zeyu, he could barely see Master Gu's face.
After the kiss ended, Wen Yi reminded him, "You can go now."
I also tossed the mask into the car.
Gu Huaixu tilted his head back and chuckled at Wen Yi's sudden action.
At this moment, his first reaction was that it was fortunate that he had been wearing special makeup recently, otherwise Wen Yi's behavior would have been quite interesting.
"Aren't you leaving? Do you need me to take your hand and formally introduce you to Young Master Gu?" Wen Yi reminded him.
Gu Huaixu smiled and kissed Wen Yi, saying, "I'll be waiting for you at home, Madam."
He whispered those words in Wen Yi's ear before getting into the car and closing the door.
Wen Yi stood to the side, while Xiao Kongkong drove away.
Once the car was far away, Gu Zeyu, who had witnessed two kissing scenes, could no longer bear it and walked towards Wen Yi, his face looking very unpleasant.
"Why did you kiss him first?" he asked, his tone accusatory.
Wen Yi glanced up and asked, "Why is Young Master Gu angry that I kissed my current husband?"
“We agreed at the restaurant that if I put on a good show, you would give me a chance.”
"You said it yourself, it's just giving us a chance, it doesn't mean we have anything to offer."
Wen Yi's reminder hit the nail on the head.
Gu Zeyu was a little fed up and wanted to argue with Wen Yi, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
No identity, no words.
Wen Yi chuckled and walked into the house. "Young Master Gu came to see my sister, right? Young Master Gu is so thoughtful. I thought it would take several days, but it's clear that Young Master Gu's sincerity towards me is genuine."
Wen Yi's words were like a piece of candy, instantly soothing all of Gu Zeyu's previous unhappiness. He quickened his pace and walked to Wen Yi's side.
"Of course, I said I would treat you well, and I will not go back on my word."
Gu Zeyu said this with a rather arrogant tone.
Wen Yi simply smiled and didn't say anything.
When Wen Yi and Gu Zeyu returned and entered the Wen family home, only the butler came forward to greet them.
"Miss, Young Master Gu, the master and madam have gone out to attend a banquet and will not be back until tonight."
"That's a pity. I wanted to come back and have a meal with my parents." Wen Yi replied perfunctorily.
A quick glance revealed Wen Muqianzhou dressed in casual clothes, sprawled on the sofa playing video games. He merely glanced at Wen Yi and Young Master Gu before continuing his game, showing no intention of entertaining or paying them any attention.
"I ran into Young Master Gu at the door just now. He knows that his sister is not doing well lately, so he came over to check on her. Is Wen Ge at home?"
"Oh."
The butler didn't say anything, but Wen Muqianzhou, who was playing games, gave Wen Yi a cold laugh.
"Hypocritical," he commented.
Wen Yi looked at Wen Muqianzhou, and he turned back to look at her, quite provocatively.
Wen Yi curled her lips and said deliberately, "Wen Ge has been feeling down lately. I was worried something might happen to her, so I called the person she misses the most, but unfortunately the timing wasn't right."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Wen Muqianzhou clearly felt that Wen Ge was being humiliated. He smashed the game console, stood up, and ordered Wen Yi, "I'm warning you, I'm giving you a chance. Right now, in front of me, apologize for what you just said about my sister!"
Wen Muqianzhou was full of imposing presence.
The butler stood to the side with a worried expression, and subconsciously looked at Gu Zeyu. After all, Gu Zeyu was a guest, and he was the eldest young master of the Gu family. This scene was not very pleasant.
But clearly, Wen Muqianzhou didn't care.
All he cared about was that Wen Yi had humiliated his good sister!
