When Zhou Dang returned home, it was already the afternoon of the next day. When Wang Ma saw him, she was so overjoyed that she shouted upstairs, "Madam, the master is back!"
However, Wang Ma shouted until her voice became hoarse, and Wen Yue did not come out.
Zhou Dang smiled and said, "I'll go upstairs, Aunt Wang. I'll make some beef stew for dinner."
"Why!"
Zhou Dang walked briskly upstairs. Wen Yue was leaning on the sofa reading a book. Zhou Dang suddenly realized that Wen Yue really enjoyed reading. He walked over, but Wen Yue seemed not to notice him, her eyes still fixed on the pages. Zhou Dang snatched the book away and looked at the title: "Norwegian Wood".
"Don't read books like this. They'll damage your brain."
Wen Yue rolled her eyes. "If you don't understand, just shut up. This book is very famous."
Zhou Dang smiled and said, "Everyone knows that, Luzi, I like you the most. Isn't that right?"
Wen Yue looked up at Zhou Dang in surprise, "How did you know?"
"I read it when I was in school. What I mean is, if you have nothing to do, you can go out to work or something. Why bother reading books at home all the time and being sad?"
Zhou Dang now thinks that Lin Sui is really smart. Otherwise, why would she be so unwilling to give up her crappy job? After all, it is still meaningful.
"What do you mean?" Wen Yue was unhappy. She had never worked before. After graduating from college, she just stayed at home, eating, drinking, traveling and shopping. Her friends were all like this. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She didn't need the money from work.
"What I mean is that you have to realize your self-worth. Don't put your value on me. Why do you just stare at me every day?" Zhou Dang said bluntly.
Wen Yue sneered, "Oh, I see. You think I'm controlling you? Are you worrying too much? Why should I control you? I don't even know where you stayed last night. Why would I keep an eye on you?"
Zhou Dang suddenly felt tired. He didn't want to say anything more, so he simply got up and prepared to go to the study.
"Stop!" Wen Yue stood up from the sofa, walked around Zhou Dang and came in front of him.
"You haven't told me where you went last night?" Wen Yue's eyes were red and filled with tears.
Zhou Dang scoffed, "Wenyue, your family is no different from my family, so don't ask such blunt questions, or you'll be the only one who gets hurt."
Zhou Dang walked around her and went out.
A line of tears ran down Wen Yue's face.
Yes, she knew it in her heart, so why should she ask? If she didn't ask, she would still have hope. If she asked, she would not even have an excuse to deceive herself.
But she didn't understand. No matter how good the woman outside was, she had just married Zhou Dang. Why was he unwilling to even do a casual flirtation with her at the beginning?
Zhou Dang went to the study and worked until the evening before leaving. When he went downstairs, Wang Ma had already prepared dinner, but Wen Yue was nowhere to be seen. As Wang Ma served the dishes, she looked at Zhou Dang, hesitantly wanting to say something.
"Sir, my wife hasn't eaten much since she came back yesterday. If she continues like this, her health will be bad. Please go and call her. She will definitely agree if you call her."
Zhou Dang sat down at the dining table with a cold face.
"Eat it or not. If you don't eat, you're not hungry. Don't worry about it." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks.
When Wang Ma saw that Zhou Dang was not going to coax Wen Yue, she went upstairs by herself. However, not only did she fail to persuade her, she also heard the sound of something breaking.
Zhou Dang threw the bowl away, feeling a terrible headache. Did he marry an ancestor to worship?
He looked up at this strange home again, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he couldn't stay there. So he simply got up and went out again, heading towards Xiaorou's place.
At this time, Qin Chen was lying in his home. In order to avoid Lin Sui, he stayed in a hotel for a week. Later, he simply changed the lock. No matter how Lin Sui knocked on the door, he refused to open it.
He told himself that he only had to wait three more weeks before he could put an end to it.
Recently he has been busy with decoration and recruitment, and money is being spent like water. He even thought that if he broke up with Lin Sui, he might as well sell the house, otherwise the money he has would be gone in no time.
Lin Sui went through another uneventful day at work, but she noticed she was starting to become sensitive to certain smells, like perfume. Her job involved interacting with a lot of influencers, each wearing more perfume than the last! Several times, she nearly retched in front of everyone, but she held it in and ran to the bathroom.
Even when she was retching, she did it silently, afraid of being heard.
She was a little unsure. She hadn't even finished her six-month probation period yet. If she got pregnant, would she be fired? She searched online for case studies, but the comments were filled with insults, saying that people like them deserved to die. Women in the workplace already face enough challenges, and now they have to get pregnant during their probation period. Isn't this just adding insult to injury?
She curled her lips. She was really pregnant unexpectedly, not on purpose! However, she also knew that no one would believe her if she told others about it, and she couldn't tell everyone what happened in the villa that night...
So she could only keep it a secret for the time being, hiding it for as long as possible. When she came out of the bathroom, she made the excuse that she had diarrhea recently, and everyone smiled knowingly.
Gu Yuan did buy her some diarrhea medicine in the afternoon and gave it to her. She looked at the pills that Gu Yuan handed over and cursed Gu Yuan in her heart for being nosy!
Gu Yuan stood beside Lin Sui, as if ready to leave after she finished taking the medicine. Lin Sui had no choice but to smile and said that she was much better and didn't need to take medicine anymore.
"You'd better eat one. Although diarrhea is not a big deal, it should not be underestimated." Gu Yuan said gently.
Are you sick? Lin Sui rolled his eyes in his heart!
"Okay." Lin Sui was too lazy to talk nonsense with Gu Yuan. He put the pill in his mouth in front of him, then said he was going to get some water. He turned around and spit out the pills.
She took the water, rinsed her mouth, and then drank a large glass. She was in a daze when Gu Yuan's voice sounded behind her again, "How about we have a dinner together this weekend and go to the bar for a drink?"
Lin Sui turned around and saw Gu Yuan looking at her with a smile.
"I'm not going. I'm not feeling well lately and can't drink."
Without waiting for Gu Yuan to say anything else, Lin Sui fled back to his workstation.
She actually hated Gu Yuan's concern for her. If he really liked her, he could just pursue her openly. But he had to give her some small favors in a covert way like he did now, letting his colleagues all know that he treated her specially. Isn't this just cheating her?
She even thought that when Gu Yuan found out about her pregnancy, she didn't believe he would still be like this. Not firing her was just a kindness on his part!
