After taking a shower, Gu Xiuyuan went straight into the study and was busy until the early morning before he finished dealing with the urgent work.
When he reached out for the milk out of habit, he found nothing.
Only then did I realize that Ji Shuyu didn't knock on the door today. When I returned to the bedroom, it was empty.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned, then walked towards Ji Shuyu's small study next door.
I gently opened the door. The light inside was still on, but there was no sound at all.
Ji Shuyu was curled up in a small ball on the bay window. He sighed softly and stretched out his arms to pick her up.
The sleeping person was awakened and struggled subconsciously. Gu Xiuyuan whispered, "It's me."
Late at night, his voice was as deep and mellow as a cello, and his warm breath sprinkled on her forehead, disturbing Ji Shuyu's heartbeat.
Go back to the bedroom and put her on the bed.
Ji Shuyu wanted to get up, but he held her down.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xiuyuan had already laid down while speaking, "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."
Stop messing around?
Didn’t they say they wanted a divorce?
How to say it, it seems like they just had some minor friction before.
Before she could react, the quilt had already covered her, and the next second Gu Xiuyuan's arms tightly wrapped around her, holding her in his arms.
He hadn't had a full night's sleep these days because he was busy traveling.
He thought he'd finally rest up after returning, but his mother went to the hospital again, and then he went back to the old house and couldn't sleep all night. He was now so sleepy that he felt nauseous and his heart rate was irregular.
Ji Shuyu struggled, but her arms were entangled in the quilt and she couldn't get free. Seeing how exhausted he was, she finally couldn't bear to move any further.
He had it really hard, having been pushed to excel in everything since childhood, even starting out as a student at a company as a teenager. He strived to be the best in everything – his looks, family background, and achievements were admired by everyone, but she knew he wasn't happy.
Gu Xiuyuan fell asleep quickly, the familiar scent of milk made him sleep soundly, but Ji Shuyu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
After Su Yan came back, after they had been together day and night, and after she filed for divorce, he couldn't even stay in the same room with her with peace of mind, or even hold her to sleep?!
What on earth is he thinking?
…
That night, Ji Shuyu struggled in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
Sometimes she dreamed of the sweetness between them, and sometimes she dreamed of the indifference caused by misunderstandings. The two emotions were mixed together, and she was exhausted...
When she woke up the next day, Gu Xiuyuan was taking a shower in the bathroom. Hearing the sound of running water, she almost instinctively jumped out of bed and ran to the cloakroom, but after taking a few steps, she stopped!
Myself, what are you doing?
Oh……
Habits are such a scary thing.
After standing there for a while, she took a deep breath, then took her clothes and went to the guest bedroom to wash up.
…
When Gu Xiuyuan came down from upstairs, his aunt had already prepared breakfast, but the tableware had obviously not been touched.
He looked at Ji Shuyu, who was dressed neatly.
"Going out?"
"I have a doctor's appointment today and need to go for a check-up." Ji Shuyu didn't look up.
Gu Xiuyuan paused slightly, "There is a meeting at the company today, I will accompany you tomorrow."
"Don't bother, I can do it myself."
trouble?
"I am your husband." He looked unhappy, as if dissatisfied with her refusal.
husband?
Ji Shuyu looked up.
Why did he remember this identity at this time?
When he was with Su Yan, did he ever think about his identity?
Her meaning was too obvious, and Gu Xiuyuan finally understood the reason for her abnormal behavior in the past two days.
He looked up at his aunt, who understood and stepped back.
There were only the two of them left in the living room.
…
Gu Xiuyuan walked over and sat down opposite her.
"Do you think I'm a traitor to my marriage?"
He is not! Ji Shuyu knew.
Because of his relationship with his mother, he hates betrayal and infidelity. But their marriage... after all, is different from that of a normal couple.
They were "forced" to get married, and it was agreed that it was just a nominal marriage, but the relationship was confirmed by "matchmaking".
Because she didn't want to embarrass him, she took the initiative to propose a secret marriage on the pretext of continuing her studies, so he felt that "secret marriage" was a means of retreating to advance.
For a long time after that, Gu Xiuyuan had a deep misunderstanding of her. Even though the situation gradually eased, he just "put it aside" and ignored the incident.
She was greedy for superficial peace, so when he didn't ask, she stopped talking.
But now Su Yan is back, isn't the way forward very clear?
Her hand subconsciously rested on her lower abdomen, and she felt bitter in her chest.
Perhaps his only "difficulty" was the uncertain answer in her mind.
"If you're worried, you can ask your secretary to accompany me." Ji Shuyu lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. "I won't leave her sight. I'll let you see the ending first."
Gu Xiuyuan frowned.
She said that he didn't let her go alone because he didn't trust her?!
"Ji Shuyu!" He frowned.
Ji Shuyu looked up. Was her idea wrong?
Looking at Ji Shuyu with a cold face opposite him, Gu Xiuyuan took a deep breath.
She wasn't indifferent, nor was she picky about others. In the past, whenever he had any problems, she was the one who accommodated him. But this time...
"I misunderstood the news, I'm sorry." He looked up.
Ji Shuyu clenched her hands tightly, and she didn't feel any better at all.
His misunderstanding of her was more than just that.
Besides...the word "sorry" is just two words to him.
"Let's eat first!" He stood up and pulled Ji Shuyu to sit at the dining table. "I'll accompany you tomorrow."
It was a tone of "negotiation", and his actions did not give her any room to refuse.
…
After coming out of Yuyuan, Gu Xiuyuan's phone rang.
After picking up the phone, he signaled the driver to drive.
"Xiuyuan~" Su Yan's voice came from the other side.
"Why so early?" He asked with concern, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
"I've been sleeping a lot these days, so I'm not sleepy anymore." Her voice was soft, with a hint of brokenness and fragility.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He looked at his schedule and crossed out all the plans for the next morning.
"No." She hurriedly explained, as if she was afraid of worrying him. "It's just that my aunt went out, and the house was quiet, and I..."
Gu Xiuyuan's eyes paused slightly, "If you feel bored, go out for a walk."
"Go out for a walk?" Su Yan was a little bit incredulous, as if it was a feeling beyond her reach.
"Yeah." Gu Xiuyuan responded softly.
"But……"
"No." He said in a deep voice.
Listening to Gu Xiuyuan's words, Su Yan responded softly, as if her whole body was relaxed, and even her voice was tinged with a hint of joy.
"Then can you come to see me today?" she tested cautiously.
"I have a date today." He refused calmly.
After hanging up the phone, a hint of anger flashed in Su Yan's eyes.
Yesterday he let her go and today he rejected her again! Also, what did you mean by that just now?
Will Xia Mei let her go?
My aunt came back from outside and swallowed her saliva as she looked at the woman in deep thought in the living room.
Every time she started "thinking", it was a sign of going crazy.
After working this job for a month, she was almost mentally broken. If it weren't for the good salary, she wouldn't want to take care of this moody woman.
"You're back!" Su Yan's beautiful eyes, which were originally full of storms, suddenly showed a smile.
"Miss, is there anything you want to tell me?" Auntie swallowed her saliva and came forward.
"Don't be nervous." She smiled. "I just have something to ask you to do."
