Chapter 53 Affordable

"Waiting for what?"

The man's eyes were too sharp for Zhou Nuan to ignore, so she had to change the subject, "Xiao Hang, you are not strong enough, so let your uncle do it."

The coldness in Gu Xiyue's brow disappeared in that instant. Although he could see that she was not sincere, it was enough.

He walked over quickly, took Su Hang's things easily, and said softly, "Go and clean up your room. Tell your aunt if you need anything. This will be our home from now on, so there's no need to be so reserved."

After putting the things in the house, he took Gu Xiaodong from Qin Yuezhi and said, "Mom, you should go and have a rest too."

He went in carrying the child, and Zhou Nuan had no choice but to follow him in carrying Xiaoxi.

The main house was indeed very large, with a large bed in the middle, a tall wardrobe and bookcase to the right of the bed, and a desk next to it, piled with various documents.

It was obviously a man's room, with cool colors, simple and plain style, and spotless. Except for an out-of-place dressing table beside the bed, there was not a trace of feminine atmosphere.

Gu Xiyue carefully placed Gu Xiaodong on the bed. Seeing that he was not affected and continued to sleep soundly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up, I saw Zhou Nuan staring at the dressing table in a daze, "Do you like it?"

Zhou Nuan quickly came back to her senses, "Is this prepared for me?"

"Um."

“When did you buy it?”

"After returning from Jiangzhou."

Zhou Nuan was in a delicate mood, and her voice unconsciously lowered, "Very good."

Gu Xiyue took Gu Xiaoxi from her arms. The little guy was quite heavy, heavier than her brother. His movements were gentle and slow. Putting Gu Xiaoxi down was like setting off a time bomb. There was no other way. This little guy was much more difficult to deal with than her brother.

Only when he was sure that he had not woken Gu Xiaoxi up did he let out a sigh of relief.

The room fell silent, no one spoke anymore, and Zhou Nuan began to feel uncomfortable.

It’s not that I haven’t been alone with him before. When I was in Gujia Village, he often came to the house, but he just said a few words and left after that. The feeling now is different from before. Everything is strange, including his eyes.

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Zhou Nuan glanced at him and said, "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with my face?"

There were naturally no flowers on her face, but she just stood in front of him so charmingly, the well-cut cheongsam bringing out her graceful figure, which was more beautiful than flowers.

He knew she was pretty, but he didn't expect her to be so pretty that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Have you been living there since you arrived in Hai City? And were the clothes you were wearing given to you by those two people just now?"

He had seen cheongsams before, but never this style.

"They didn't give it to me. I designed it myself. How about it?"

"Um."

Hmm what?

Zhou Nuan curled her lips. People say that a short separation is better than a new marriage, but they are even worse than before. In the past, he would at least say a few more words, but now he has returned to the same awkward state as when she first met him.

"You look very well in it." He suddenly spoke again, this time with a few more words.

Zhou Nuan felt a little embarrassed and glared at him, "Who asked you this? I was asking if there is a market."

Gu Xiyue had at least spent a long time in Haicheng, so he was more convincing in this regard. Although she looked confident in front of Li Baijie and the others, she was actually a little nervous. After all, it was different from her time. People were worshipping foreigners and fawning on foreigners, so she didn't know whether they would accept her.

Gu Xiyue's expression became solemn. He looked at him carefully, his eyes slightly narrowed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

This made Zhou Nuan even more uneasy. "What's wrong? Is there really no market?"

"It's not that there is no market, it's just that it's difficult to open up, and it may take a long time." Gu Xiyue said in a serious voice, "But once it's opened up, it will be a huge market."

Zhou Nuan felt a little more at ease.

"It's okay. Everything depends on human effort. Just take your time. I can wait."

Her smile was firm yet gentle, making it impossible to look away.

"Why do you want to start a business? You don't have to worry so much. I can support you and the child."

No words between a man and a woman are more touching than "I will support you", not to mention the words of a former military officer like Gu Xiyue who never lies, which are even more convincing.

It was impossible for Zhou Nuan to say that she was not moved at all, but she was not the kind of person who would be completely moved by a few nice words. What's more, it was still unclear who would support whom in the future.

"You don't believe me?"

"..No, it's just that business is very tiring."

She knew that doing business was tiring and laborious, and she was a lazy and spoiled person, so no matter how her brother called her, she never thought about it. However, she really liked domestic products and did not think that her own products were inferior to foreign ones.

"I just want to give it a try. Besides, I'm not alone. I have two partners."

Gu Xiyue thought of the two people who followed Zhou Nuan. He didn't expect that she had been here for a short time, but she had done something big quietly. She was not idle at all. She had indeed changed and became more resourceful.

He had to admit that this was a change he wanted to see.

Lowering his eyes, he said casually, "If you need my help, just ask."

This didn't sound like a conversation between a husband and wife, but rather like something a stranger said. Zhou Nuan rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "I really need your help."

"?"

"It's too hot. I want to change my clothes. Could you please go out for a while?"

“…”

Gu Xiyue, who was ruthlessly kicked out, still didn't understand what she was angry about. Looking at the closed door, he touched his nose and turned to go to the living room.

To my surprise, I saw Su Hang also sitting on the chair, staring at the TV with his big eyes curiously, and I didn't know what he was thinking about.

This little nephew has a personality like him, and is quiet. Gu Xiyue was afraid of scaring him, so he asked in a gentle voice, "Want to watch TV?"

At his age, he is interested in new things, and television is a rare thing for him.

"Look if you want to. Uncle will open it for you."

Su Hang shook his head, "I don't want to watch it.. I just want to know what my mother looks like and whether she likes watching TV like my grandma."

Gu Xiyue’s heart tightened.

Su Hang had just learned to walk when his sister passed away. He never mentioned his mother in all these years. He thought he had no concept of mother in his heart, but now it seems that no matter how old a child is, he needs the love of his mother.

Especially when he is far away from home, this feeling of insecurity will probably be even stronger. No wonder he would think of his mother at this time.

He must be very lonely now, right?
