Chapter 11 Exposing Flaws
Gu Jinyuan turned off his phone screen in frustration. These old guys kept calling him a "true god," like members of some cult.
He was utterly fed up with the refined and decadent lifestyles of those nobles and their pretentious arrogance and condescension.
In contrast, he prefers the profoundness and breadth of Chinese culture.
His mother and stepfather treated him badly from a young age, and he once pinned all his hopes on that vague and ethereal "father" role.
I wanted to find a moment of redemption and strength in those two words.
He studied Chinese knowledge, language, and culture diligently, hoping that one day he could get closer to his imagined "father" and communicate intimately with him.
His mother had brought him back three times, and each time she wanted to see his father's remorseful expression and wanted him to change his mind.
But his father coldly and ruthlessly rejected him, and he, as a burden, never received any care.
The father's eyes were filled with cold disgust and resolute indifference.
The little boy didn't understand why his parents disliked him so much, yet still brought him into this world.
Just for a moment of pleasure?
He was never a welcome little life, so why not kill him sooner?
In an instant, Gu Jinyuan's eyes gradually darkened, and a violent aura surrounded him.
"Gu Jinyuan, are you hungry? Shall I take you to eat?"
Su Ruan had been busy all morning. Looking up from a pile of documents, she saw her gloomy husband, who was staring blankly with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Ruan, who had initially intended to make do, softened and asked a question.
The moment he looked up, Gu Jinyuan had already hidden all his negative emotions and grinned.
"OK."
What would you like to eat?
I eat whatever my wife eats.
Su Ruan got up and walked over, reached out and pulled the man up, and gently stamped his chin.
"Good boy!"
"Wife~" Gu Jinyuan took advantage of the situation and followed the original path to entwine and linger with Su Ruan.
Su Ruan rolled her eyes at him, walked to the mirror to touch up her makeup, and then left the company with her entourage.
The two walked hand in hand to the private restaurant that Su Ruan used to frequent.
Inside the box.
Gu Jinyuan insisted on sitting on a long sofa bench with Su Ruan.
While waiting for the food, Gu Jinyuan's hands and feet were not still.
He raised his hand and touched the glossy lip gloss that Su Ruan had just applied, asking curiously, "What flavor is it this time, or is it still the peach flavor from before?"
"No. This time it's mandarin orange flavor." Su Ruan pulled Gu Jinyuan's large hand down. "Don't smudge my lip makeup."
"But we still need to put flowers on the table when we eat later?" Gu Jinyuan asked, puzzled.
The moment Su Ruan was stunned, the lip gloss disappeared.
"Gu Jinyuan, this is a public place, can't you be a little more mindful of your behavior?" Su Ruan was finding it hard to bear the beauty's unbridled enthusiasm.
"Wife, what can I do if I can't control myself? I just want to kiss you." Gu Jinyuan looked aggrieved.
Su Ruan was defeated again, "Then... be more careful in the future."
Gu Jinyuan's eyes lit up instantly, seizing the loophole in Su Ruan's words.
"Does that mean I can act recklessly now?"
Before Su Ruan could voice her objection, a dark shadow swept in again.
The kiss, which started gently but gradually intensified, became intense and urgent, catching Su Ruan completely off guard.
The large hand protecting the back of her head cushioned the force of her fall.
He forcefully inserted his fingers into her loose, long hair, kneading it haphazardly.
His other large hand climbed up her earlobe, pressing and kneading it until it was hot and burning.
Su Ruan tried to escape between the icy cold and the fiery heat, but she could never get rid of them.
I feel really bad for my Chinese teacher.
It was only under these circumstances that Su Ruan, who had grown up so much, suddenly realized this.
The drizzle on the street is as soft as butter. What could rain and butter possibly have to do with each other?
—Content that no one wants to see has been removed—
"Knock knock knock"
A few soft knocks on the door sounded like thunderclaps in Su Ruan's ears.
Gu Jinyuan also stopped moving at the same time. Su Ruan, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant, pushed him aside and hurriedly turned around to straighten her clothes.
Unaware of the situation, the waiters filed in to serve the dishes.
"Dear esteemed guest, all dishes have been served. Please press the service bell if you require any assistance."
The waiter's polite smile seemed like a mocking sneer to Su Ruan at that moment.
They laughed at her, calling her a shameless harlot for being so brazen in public.
"Get out," Su Ruan said hastily, barely suppressing her shame and indignation.
As soon as the waiter left the room, Gu Jinyuan, still savoring the moment, licked his glistening lips and chuckled.
"Honey, let's do it again..."
A loud slap suddenly rang out.
Gu Jinyuan stood there dumbfounded, not understanding why his wife, who had just been all lovey-dovey, would hit him.
"Gu Jinyuan, do you have any sense of shame at all? This is a public place. Can you please stop acting like an animal and getting horny all the time?"
You may be shameless, but I still have my pride.
After angrily yelling, Su Ruan picked up her bag and left.
Before, at hotels and at home, Gu Jinyuan's boundless energy made her feel comfortable and infatuated, but she never expected that this guy would be so unrestrained and dissolute outside as well.
This forced Su Ruan to re-examine the man, as he seemed to harbor many serious flaws in his personality and values that she had previously overlooked.
And that fierce, predatory gaze, like that of someone hunting a wild beast, also filled her with terror.
Even if you grew up in a foreign country with a more open-minded culture, you can't just do that to her in broad daylight...
Does he have any sense of decency or principles as a highly intelligent life form?
It was so embarrassing that Su Ruan felt like her chest was about to explode with shame and anger just thinking about it.
Gu Jinyuan didn't know what he had done wrong. He was just following his animal instincts and wanted to get close to his wife. How did that anger her?
"Wife, baby—"
Even though he continued to act cute and charming as before, he couldn't win Su Ruan's back.
Gu Jinyuan slowly stopped, his face gradually darkening.
Does his wife not want him anymore?
Does everyone think he's a monster, that everything he cherishes will be taken away by fate?
Gu Jinyuan returned to the private room, his hand trembling slightly as he picked up the chopsticks.
He tasted a few bites of the exquisite food, but it was tasteless. He began to gag repeatedly, but even after vomiting for a long time and his stomach was spasming, he still couldn't vomit anything.
His emotions suddenly erupted, and he frantically overturned the table, smashing everything in the private room, including the television, stereo, table, chairs, plates, coffee table, and so on, to pieces.
Gu Jinyuan's hands were cut at some point, and blood dripped from between his fingers, leaving his hands covered in blood and dirt.
The restaurant owner and waiters were all horrified by the horrific scene before them.
They seemed to see a raging beast wanting to destroy everything. The boss trembled and picked up his phone to call the police, but a hand pressed it down.
Shadowmoon appeared silently beside them, handed them a black card, and said expressionlessly.
"Never mind that, whatever the property is damaged, we'll compensate you three times the amount."
