Chapter 32 Will You Take Me In?
The next morning, they were awakened by the ringing of their cell phones. Xiao Peiyin woke up from her sleep and saw that Gu Cunxi had woken up and was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. Thinking of everything that happened last night, she blushed.
"Did you sleep well? Your phone keeps ringing. It's Chen Feng...call him back!"
When Chen Feng was mentioned, Xiao Peiyin became angry. She didn't want to hear anything about Chen Feng anymore, nor did she want to see him again. But she and Chen Feng were still husband and wife after all, and some things had to be faced and resolved!
She kissed Gu Cunxi's cheek gently, stood up and took the phone. Looking at the dozen missed calls on the screen, she held her forehead and sighed softly, her heart filled with disgust. Xiao Peiyin turned to look at Gu Cunxi and said gently, "I'll be back soon. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat!"
"Everything you bought is good, I like it all!" Gu Cunxi smiled and sat up from the bed, looking at Xiao Peiyin quietly with gentle eyes.
"Then I'll buy some. You wait for me in the ward and don't run around!"
After saying that, Xiao Peiyin picked up her coat and walked out. She went outside the ward and called Chen Feng back. The other end of the line picked up quickly. Xiao Peiyin said nothing. She only heard Chen Feng ask in a cold tone, "Where did you go last night? Do you still know that you are married?"
"I'm in the hospital. You beat Gu Cunxi like this. Do you think I will just let it go?" Xiao Peiyin's tone was even colder than Chen Feng's.
"Gu Cunxi is the only one in your heart, right? You argued with me because of her, and stayed out all night because of her. You only saw me hitting her, but you didn't see how she attacked me with words!"
"I hit her, and she deserved it. A woman with such bad character, anyone else would hit her too. Come home now, and I will pay for Gu Cunxi's medical expenses!"
Xiao Peiyin grew increasingly furious as she listened to Chen Feng's words. She clutched the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. She suppressed her anger and said, "Chen Feng, let's get a divorce!"
"What did you say!!" Chen Feng growled
"I don't want any of this! What's yours is yours. I can't stand this seven-year marriage any longer. I've had enough of your selfishness, your control, your suspicion and jealousy! Your beating of Gu Cunxi made me sick. I've always been like your appendage, never having to think, just obeying you!"
"For the past seven years, I've forgotten what freedom is. My body, my mind, and even my emotions are restricted. I've endured it forever in front of you and your family. I haven't been happy a single day since I married you. For An An, I've compromised and given in time and time again. I know your parents have always looked down on me. They always think I'm marrying above my station in the Chen family. No matter what I do, they've always been sarcastic. Chen Feng! We must get a divorce. I won't be coming home. When you're ready, call me and we'll go through the divorce procedures!"
After saying that, Xiao Peiyin hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Feng's response, turned off the phone, and leaned against the wall weakly.
She knew that Chen Feng would not agree to a divorce easily, and perhaps he would soon find his parents, but no matter what, no one could shake her this time!
Now, whenever she thinks of Gu Cunxi, she feels infinitely motivated and feels that she can endure everything! !
Ever since Xiao Peiyin left, Gu Cunxi had been sitting on the hospital bed in a daze. She knew Peiyin was trying to avoid her by answering Chen Feng's call, but she didn't know what Peiyin would say, whether Chen Feng would embarrass her, or whether his words would hurt her. She didn't know...
In fact, facing Chen Feng, Gu Cunxi felt somewhat powerless. If it were in the past, she could easily help Pei Yin out of the current predicament...
But now... she has no roots in this city, how can she help her!
Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone brought Gu Cunxi back to her thoughts. She picked up the phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number, not a local number. It was a bit strange.
Today is Sunday, so this shouldn't be a work call.
She hesitated and pressed the answer button. When she heard a man's voice on the other end, Gu Cunxi frowned slightly.
"Cunxi, it's me, Chen Jiamao!"
"What's up?"
“…”
"Cunxi, even if the person you like is not me, we can still be considered friends. There's no need to be so distant when talking. Today is the weekend, and I think you should be on vacation at home. Do you have time to accompany me to visit Jianghuai City? You won't refuse to pay me for the meal you owe me, right?"
"No! Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. It's just... I'm not available these few days because of some personal matters. Mr. Chen, you won't be in such a hurry, right?"
As he was speaking, the door of the ward was slowly opened. Gu Cunxi thought it was Pei Yin and his heartbeat accelerated instantly. But when he saw that the person was a doctor from the hospital, he felt a little disappointed.
"Does the pain in your wound feel any better today? A mild concussion can cause brief dizziness and vomiting, as well as retrograde amnesia for some memories of the incident and afterward. These are common symptoms of a mild concussion. Don't worry too much. After two days of observation, if there are no problems, you can be discharged!"
"Fortunately, it's not as painful as last night. I feel a little dizzy, but I don't feel like vomiting!" Gu Cunxi forgot that he was still on the phone and responded to the doctor casually. As a result, Chen Jiamao heard it clearly.
"Cunxi, are you in the hospital?"
"!" Gu Cunxi suddenly came back to his senses
"Are you injured? Which hospital are you in? I'll be there right away!" Chen Jiamao asked anxiously.
"It's just a minor injury...nothing serious. I appreciate Mr. Chen's kindness, but you don't have to make this trip. I'll pay you back for the meal before you leave!" Gu Cunxi refused.
She didn't want Pei Yin to see Chen Jiamao. After all, to her, Chen Jiamao was no longer the person she could just be friends with a few years ago.
"I would have found out even if you didn't tell me!"
“…”
"This is not a difficult matter for me. I have no other intentions. You don't need to avoid me so deliberately. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force it. I will ask someone to check. There are only a few hospitals in Jianghuai City. I will get the results soon. If you think my actions are excessive, please forgive me. I am just worried about you. Even as a friend, I should go to see you."
Originally, there was no pain in her head, but Chen Jiamao's call gave Gu Cunxi a headache. She knew that Chen Jiamao could do it, and it would not be difficult for him to check the hospital where she was. Since he would come whether she told him or not, she let him go.
"Jiren Hospital!" Gu Cunxi hung up the phone.
If Chen Jiamao showed up here, Pei Yin would inevitably feel uncomfortable... But she didn't want to hide or deceive Pei Yin, so it was better to be honest...
I'll tell her when she comes back!
While Gu Cunxi was pondering over his words, the door of the ward was opened again. Xiao Peiyin came back from outside after buying breakfast and saw Gu Cunxi sitting on the bed in a daze, not noticing her approach at all.
"What are you thinking about? You look so absent-minded." Xiao Peiyin stood in front of her, carrying several bags of different sizes.
"Um?"
The sudden warmth interrupted Gu Cunxi's thoughts. She smiled at Xiao Peiyin, took the breakfast from her hand and placed it on the table beside her. She took her hand and asked, "Have you called? Are you okay?"
"Yeah... I've already had the shot. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I won't be back for a while. I'll be taking care of you in the hospital these days. I won't leave!"
Gu Cunxi looked at Pei Yin and said hesitantly, knowing that the situation was far from as easy as she said. She didn't want to make herself worry, so she downplayed it.
"Cunxi! If I have nowhere to go, will you take me in?" Xiao Peiyin pretended to be indifferent and asked softly.
"Won't!"
“!”
Xiao Peiyin was surprised by this answer. She thought Gu Cunxi would agree without hesitation, and she felt a little disappointed. But then she heard Gu Cunxi say, "I won't take you in, because my home is your home. How can I take you in? You fool..."
“…”
"Next time, can you please finish what you want to say at once? You made me think you didn't want to, and my heart skipped a beat!" Xiao Peiyin pretended to be angry and patted Gu Cunxi's forehead.
"I won't do that next time, but... you looked so beautiful when you were nervous just now!" Gu Cunxi chuckled.
"Gu Cunxi!! Are you doing this on purpose?" Xiao Peiyin raised an eyebrow, turned to look at her and said, "If you do this again, I will ignore you. You are deliberately making me nervous!"
After that, she turned aside and ignored the person in front of her.
Gu Cunxi didn't want to really make Pei Yin angry, so she reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into her arms, and put her left hand around her waist.
Because of the sudden force, Xiao Peiyin's body was a little unbalanced, and she instinctively wrapped her hands around Gu Cunxi's back. The warm breath in her ears made her feel tingling.
Thinking of last night's intimacy, Xiao Peiyin smiled helplessly. After all, she was already in her thirties, yet she still acted like a young girl because of love. Xiao Peiyin felt a little strange about her passionate self yesterday...
Gu Cunxi had never thought that one day he would be teased by a woman and lose his mind so much. He didn't know that when he kissed her last night, his mind unconsciously thought of her good figure...
Last time when I was helping her change her clothes, I accidentally saw it...
Delicate and fair skin, slender legs, and beautiful collarbones, these images really arouse my imagination. If Gu Cunxi knew that I was thinking about these things while kissing her last night, what would she think of me...
When Xiao Peiyin thought of this, her face felt hot!
"Ahem...eat it while it's hot. You have a cut on your mouth, so I bought some porridge. It won't hurt too much. When you're healed, I'll buy you whatever you want!"
"Can I eat whatever I want?" Gu Cunxi asked, curling his lips.
"Yeah! I'll satisfy you with whatever you want to eat!"
Gu Cunxi didn't respond, and his smile became even wider...
Noticing Gu Cunxi's gaze, Xiao Peiyin looked over and found that her eyes were particularly hot at the moment. Xiao Peiyin instantly understood the implicit meaning of her words, and her face flushed again. With a slightly evasive look in her eyes, she said, "Gu Cunxi! Stop looking at me! Drink the porridge quickly..."
"Okay! I won't watch anymore!" Gu Cunxi obediently turned his eyes away, picked up the spoon and sipped the porridge in small sips. He looked at Pei Yin again and asked, "You only bought one portion. Have you eaten it?"
"I'm not hungry yet, I don't really want to eat."
“…”
Gu Cunxi curled his lips, scooped up some porridge with a spoon and handed it to Xiao Peiyin.
"Cunxi!" Seeing Gu Cunxi trying to feed her, Xiao Peiyin pushed the spoon to her lips and said, "You eat!"
"Let's eat together. I'm afraid you'll be hungry!"
Xiao Peiyin smiled, leaned forward and took the spoon in front of her mouth, a trace of warmth entered her throat, and her heart felt warm.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" Gu Cunxi scooped another spoonful and handed it over, saying, "You don't mind if we share a spoon, do you? After all, last night..."
As Gu Cunxi was talking, he remembered that they kissed and slept together last night, and his face suddenly turned red. He had originally wanted to tease Xiao Peiyin, but he didn't expect that his face would be red first...
Seeing Gu Cunxi's blushing cheeks, Xiao Peiyin couldn't help but smile and laughed happily twice. Gu Cunxi was very different from before, a side that only appeared in front of her!
Gu Cunxi felt that Xiao Peiyin had been looking at her, smiling meaningfully, and her cheeks turned even redder. She quickly changed the subject and said seriously, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You can't skip it just because you're not hungry. It will be bad for your health. I don't want you to get sick, I want you to be healthy!"
As he spoke, Gu Cunxi filled the bowl with porridge and handed it to Pei Yin's mouth spoon by spoon, asking her to drink it.
Seeing that most of the porridge had been consumed, Gu Cunxi didn't eat much and fed it all to himself...
"Cunxi! I've already drunk most of the porridge I bought for you. Stop feeding me!"
Gu Cunxi looked at the porridge in the bowl and determined that half a bowl was enough to fill her up. She then contentedly picked up the bowl and drank the rest.
