Chapter 156 Not from this World

"You have your own reasons for everything you do. Don't pay attention to what others say." His low voice sounded in my ears.

"Are you really not surprised why I would do this to my own family?"

"Um."

The light in the bathroom was dim, and the man's hard face in the mirror looked exceptionally soft, even the cold scar on his face seemed much gentler.

Such pampering suddenly made Zhou Nuan want to confide in the man in front of her.

"Gu Xiyue, why are you so nice to me?" she murmured.

Ever since she came here, this man has never let her down. He has been kind to her, respectful to her, and doting on her more and more, making her feel sweet and troubled at the same time.

Is this kindness meant for her or for the original owner?

Zhou Nuan would never admit that she even felt a little jealous.

"Am I good to you?" Gu Xiyue said softly, looking at her in the mirror, "I just feel that I am not good enough to you. I have been busy and have too little time to accompany you. I am not capable enough to let you realize your wish of lying down and collecting rent, and I can't let you buy perfume as you please..."

Lie flat? Collect rent?

These two words made Zhou Nuan's eyes widen. These two words would never appear in Gu Xiyue's mouth, but he said it.

"You...how did you know? Did I really talk in my sleep?"

"yes."

So what he said before that she wouldn't talk in her sleep was a lie?

"..." Zhou Nuan was annoyed, "Then what else did I say?"

"Say you want to go home, miss your parents, miss your nephew at home, miss your cell phone, want to give the author a bad review, and want to go back." Gu Xiyue's tone was light, but his eyes were dark.

Zhou Nuan:!

She actually said so much! Wasn't this man curious at all? Why didn't he ask anything? He knew something was wrong with him, but he didn't say a word. Such cunning and such forbearance.

She felt a chill down her spine and glanced at him cautiously out of the corner of her eye.

His expression was as calm as usual, but the doting look between his brows was obvious.

Sensing her inquiring eyes, Gu Xiyue reached out and rubbed her head, "Are you scared? Are you afraid that I will sell you to a research institute?"

Zhou Nuan: “…”

The tone didn't sound like he was going to sell her off as a monster, and she felt relieved.

"Can you?"

"..Won't."

"Why?" Zhou Nuan was really confused. Facing such an unidentified object that replaced his wife, was he really not afraid at all? A normal person would feel panic, which was why she didn't dare to tell the truth.

Never underestimate the evil of human nature.

"I've said it before, but maybe you didn't take it to heart. It doesn't matter. I can say it again, because you are Zhou Nuan, my wife."

He lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

After a domineering and possessive kiss, she was panting, but her heart was at ease.

Nestled in the man's strong arms, listening to his powerful heartbeat, Zhou Nuan suddenly felt that now that things had come to this, it wouldn't be a big deal to speak it out.

She thought about it and said, "Actually...actually I am not from this world."

"I know." The man responded calmly.

He was too calm, which made Zhou Nuan feel uncomfortable.

Mustering her courage, she blurted out everything, including how she had accidentally been transported into this body, how this world was not the real world, and how he was included.

"In the original world, you should have been a couple with Ji Huayan. Because of the help of the Ji family, your business is getting bigger and bigger. You will soon become one of the new rich in Haicheng, and you will be one of the most important people in the future. But I think that the child cannot be without a father, so..."

She felt a little guilty, "Just think of it as me being selfish."

Gu Xiyue frowned and ignored her words. He just asked, "Are you saying that this world was originally fictional?"

Hmm? Shouldn't his focus still be on Ji Huayan? If she hadn't appeared, he and she would have been a couple.

"Uh... yes."

His eyes locked onto her face, and he showed a heavy look that was rare to him. "Well, this world is fictional. Will you go back?"

Will you disappear? Will you suddenly disappear when he is completely devoted to her?

Zhou Nuan was stunned for a moment, "According to the law of book-traveling, I should not be able to go back."

But does it matter?

Gu Xiyue finally felt relieved. He raised his lips and the solemnity between his brows disappeared. "That's good. As long as you don't leave, it doesn't matter whether this world is fictional or not. What matters is that you are by my side and my life is real. That's all."

Zhou Nuan was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

"If it weren't for me, you would have achieved more than this now." She actually felt a little guilty. Compared to her, a country girl with no background at all, Ji Huayan could indeed help him avoid many detours.

Not only does he have an adoptive father who runs a factory, but he also has a biological father who is a martyr. The resources he can provide are beyond her reach.

Gu Xiyue laughed, "Nuan Nuan."

It was the first time he called her so intimately. Even though it was a name she was so used to hearing, it made her heart skip a beat when he called it.

"Nuan Nuan, you underestimate me. I don't know what I was like in my original world. I don't need to rely on anyone here, let alone the help of Memorial Mountain."

His tone was calm, but his aura was very powerful, “I, your husband, am the connection that Memorial Hill wants.”

Zhou Nuan looked puzzled: No, before our factory became known to everyone, wasn’t it just a small factory that barely broke even?

Her expression pleased him, and he pulled her into his arms, "You'll know later. Anyway, there's no way I can have any connection with Ji Huayan."

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, "Luo Chenxing... why are you paying so much attention to him?"

"Oh, you're talking about this," Zhou Nuan pretended to be relaxed, but he still saw the nostalgia and loss in her eyes, "He looks a lot like my brother."

After hearing this, Gu Xiyue was completely relieved. It turned out that the "Third Brother" she was talking about was her own brother. He thought that this Third Brother was the first love that Grandma Lin had told him about.

His hands stroked her smooth hair, and the warmth in his arms made him feel more secure than ever before.

She finally said it out, and she finally let down her guard against him.

The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

"But I know he is not my third brother. He is Fanxing's brother."

Gu Xiyue felt distressed by her melancholy look and hugged her tighter. He said sincerely, "It's okay. You are not alone. You still have me and the children. This is your home."
