Chapter 17 Propriety, Righteousness, Integrity, and Shame
Su Ruan was lost in grief over her deep love for her son when she suddenly heard the man's request, and her face froze.
Immediately, she turned around and struggled out of Gu Jinyuan's arms, giving him a serious lecture.
"You're all injured, don't think about these messy things, just rest and get some sleep."
It wasn't until the two of them were lying side by side on the bed that Gu Jinyuan realized that Su Ruan had completely rejected his advances.
He looked at the woman next to him who had closed her eyes and was about to go to sleep, and reluctantly moved closer again.
"Honey, I promise I won't do anything, just cuddle and sleep, okay?"
Su Ruan coldly pushed his face away, turned over, and faced away from him.
"No. My sleeping position is bad, it will hurt you."
Gu Jinyuan was devastated, filled with deep regret. He had originally intended to set a trap for Su Ruan, hoping she would show him the same tenderness as last time and take advantage of it to gain some marital benefits.
Unexpectedly, his wife didn't fall for it this time and even used it to reject his advances.
It's true that Xiao He's success and Xiao He's downfall both stemmed from him.
They dug their own hole and buried themselves in it.
Su Ruan closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but in reality, her heart was filled with turmoil and sorrow.
After the initial shock and panic subsided, she began to reconcile Gu Jinyuan's recent behavior bit by bit.
This person seems like a primitive beast, never having received the influence and teachings of modern social etiquette, and acting entirely on the instinct of a wild animal.
Self-harm seems effortless to them; they never hesitate to do it.
Add to that the rabid, savage gaze he gave her, as if he could tear her apart and devour her at any moment.
She gradually developed a feeling of being unable to control such a man.
Although her face and figure are exactly to my aesthetic standards, but...
She felt she needed to calm down and stop falling into his trap, and to think things through properly.
Lost in these thoughts, Su Ruan gradually drifted off to sleep.
As dawn broke, Su Ruan slowly opened her eyes and realized that she had unknowingly rolled into Gu Jinyuan's arms.
She wrapped herself around him like a koala, using both her hands and feet.
Su Ruan was a little annoyed. She quietly rolled off the bed, and as soon as she moved, Gu Jinyuan woke up.
"Honey, where are you going?"
Su Ruan strode into the bathroom without looking back, saying, "I'm going to work. You stay home and rest."
Just as Gu Jinyuan was about to speak, Su Ruan's serious voice came from the bathroom.
"Don't come to my company again, or you can forget about sleeping with me again."
Gu Jinyuan frowned deeply, his face full of frustration and irritability.
What's the point of being able to go out with your wife?
He got up and swaggered in. Su Ruan was in the bathroom and was so startled by Gu Jinyuan's sudden movement that she almost held it in.
She grabbed the wet wipes box next to her and threw it at him, her eyes blazing with anger. "Gu Jinyuan, can't you respect other people's privacy?"
"What privacy? I've already seen it all." Gu Jinyuan leaned against the door, arms crossed, looking utterly shameless and despicable.
Su Ruan was furious, but the man in front of her clearly took it for granted, so she could only lecture him softly.
"Gu Jinyuan, the first lesson I'm going to teach you today is about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame. You should know to step aside when others are using the restroom, and not make things even more awkward for them."
Holding hands and hugging in public are acceptable, but the kind of crazy sexual behavior we did yesterday at the restaurant is unacceptable to me…
Su Ruan patiently and earnestly instructed him, but Gu Jinyuan was completely distracted, his attention entirely focused on Su Ruan's red lips that opened and closed.
Finally, when Su Ruan stopped talking, the man strode over, bent down, and gave Su Ruan a quick kiss on the lips.
He smiled and said, "Okay, wife."
Having successfully cheated on his lover, the man turned and left, leaving Su Ruan furious and cursing him out.
"Your sense of smell is gone, don't you find the smell unpleasant?"
Gu Jinyuan walked to the door, hooked it shut with his foot, and turned to smile smugly at her.
"My nasal cavity is filled with my wife's sweet scent, it's delicious."
With a slam, the door closed, and Su Ruan rubbed her temples in exasperation. After a long while, she finally uttered two words: "Pervert!"
The reasoning is unclear; it seems that from now on, the only solution for using the toilet will be to remove the key and lock the door.
After Su Ruan finished washing up, she wanted to change her clothes for work, but she found Gu Jinyuan's deep gaze fixed on her, eager to come and help her.
She hurriedly ran to another room, changed her clothes, and fled the house without even having breakfast.
Seeing how Su Ruan treated him like a monster, Gu Jinyuan couldn't help but laugh at himself.
He raised his hand, dialed a number, and asked in a irritable tone.
"How's it going? Any progress with the Jiang family?"
"Reporting to Boss, we are launching a full-scale attack on the Jiang family. That scumbag Jiang Siyan was fooling around with a woman yesterday when he was scared into submission by a phone call from his subordinate. I wonder if he will be traumatized by it."
Hahaha... Seeing him get out of bed in such a disheveled and furious state was so satisfying!
Shen Zihuai laughed heartily without a care in the world. After a while, when he didn't hear a sound from the other end of the phone, his laughter gradually subsided, and he cautiously asked a question.
"Boss, what's wrong? Is there something I didn't do well enough?"
"What do you think? Do I want to see him with a sheep's tail?"
No...it's not...
"Then hurry up and get to work!"
"Yes, yes, boss."
"If I hear you grinning like that again, I'll pull out all your teeth."
Gu Jinyuan slammed down the phone and lay on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
His wife wouldn't let him come along, so what else could he do to pass the time?
Or maybe we should take it out on that trash Jiang Siyan!
A hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he casually got up and went out the door.
Su Ruan spent the day at the company, and apart from harassing her with phone calls and messages, Gu Jinyuan did not appear at the company, which she was quite satisfied with.
Her confidence began to swell again; it seemed she had some talent for manipulating men.
After get off work, she specially went to a private restaurant to get some food as a treat, as a reward for her well-behaved dog who stayed at home.
As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Jinyuan waiting obediently at the door, helping her change her shoes, hang up her clothes, carry her bag, and put her things away.
She then pressed him down on the sofa and massaged his shoulders and neck, acting like a submissive concubine, serving Master Su so well that he was completely obedient and comfortable.
Overjoyed, Su Ruan lifted Gu Jinyuan's chin and kissed him, saying, "So good."
Gu Jinyuan's blood surged instantly, and he became restless. Like a scalding lynx, he suddenly approached Su Ruan, rubbing against her and begging for her company.
Su Ruan immediately became alert and quickly got up to call people to eat.
They stared at each other across a long dining table, the man's endless resentment creeping up the edge of the table and relentlessly targeting Su Ruan.
Su Ruan decided to give Gu Jinyuan the cold shoulder and completely ignored his advances.
In this atmosphere of chasing and hiding, Su Ruan didn't let Gu Jinyuan get close for a whole week.
But she also knew that the man's gaze toward her was becoming increasingly blatant and undisguised, his resentment deeper than that of a vengeful ghost who had been dead for a hundred years.
