Gu Qingyan thought she would receive more credit card notifications, but to her surprise, she didn't receive any more spending notifications from Shen Zhi Qiu until evening.
Just as he was about to call Shen Zhi Qiu, he heard the sound of brakes coming from the yard. Uncle Zhang had already dropped Shen Zhi Qiu off at the villa entrance.
Uncle Zhang handed the clothes pocket in the trunk to Aunt Zhang, then opened the car door and took out dozens of kilograms of gold from the back seat and handed it to the housekeeper, Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen was surprised by how heavy the object was and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Shen Zhi Qiu smiled: "Gold."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked into the living room, leaving Uncle Chen standing there looking completely bewildered.
As expected, Xiao Wanqing was in the living room.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu return, Xiao Wan Qing stood up with a smile: "Zhi Qiu, you're back? Qing Yan is busy in the study, I'll go call him for you."
After saying that, he lifted his foot to go upstairs to call Gu Qingyan.
"No need, I don't have time to see him right now." Shen Zhi Qiu curled her lips slightly in disdain, then asked Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhang to bring the things in.
"How busy are you? Busy spending money?" Gu Qingyan was walking down the stairs when he heard Shen Zhi Qiu's words and couldn't help but frown, somewhat displeased.
"Yes," Shen Zhi Qiu readily admitted, "I saw some things I liked while shopping and bought them all."
Looking at the luxury bags scattered on the ground, Xiao Wanqing's eyes revealed a hint of envy and jealousy.
"Young Madam, may I ask where to put all this gold?" Uncle Chen came in carrying heavy bags in both hands, unsure of where to put them.
Upon seeing the large bag of gold jewelry boxes, Xiao Wanqing blurted out, "Did you go to a gold shop to buy them?"
"I just like it and want to buy it." Shen Zhi Qiu looked at her with a smile and shrugged indifferently.
"Young Madam, there's a truck unloading goods outside. They say it's the bag you ordered." Zhang Ma came in somewhat flustered. She had never seen anyone buy bags like this before and was quite surprised.
"Let them bring it in," Shen Zhi Qiu waved her hand, indicating that they should bring it to the living room.
Gu Qingyan frowned as she watched several people come and go until the living room was filled with luxury brand paper bags.
Xiao Wanqing was so surprised she couldn't speak. After a while, she finally spoke, her tone somewhat unfriendly: "Zhiqiu, why did you buy so many things?"
"Yes, because I like it. This is my home, I can put as much stuff as I want here," Shen Zhi Qiu said deliberately.
"You used Qingyan's card, didn't you? Sure enough, you only waste money like this when you're not spending your own." Xiao Wanqing curled her lip, her tone somewhat disdainful.
"What? Miss Xiao, by what right do you dare to criticize me? I am Gu Qingyan's wife on the marriage certificate, it is only natural for me to spend his money." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled as she sized up Xiao Wanqing. "As for Miss Xiao, the bag next to you was a gift from my husband, it is considered joint property of the couple. If I were to pursue it, you would have to return it!"
Xiao Wanqing's face turned extremely ugly. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Gu Qingyan speak.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, I don't care what you want to buy, and I won't question how much you spend as long as you like it. But Wan Qing's bag is a gift from me, so come at me if you want anything."
Upon seeing this scene, Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhang hurriedly carried the items to the dressing room on the second floor as if they were fleeing.
"I don't have time for that." Shen Zhi Qiu's face darkened, and she went straight upstairs to her room. As she passed Gu Qing Yan, she didn't even glance at him.
"Wanqing, you should get some rest." Gu Qingyan said this and went upstairs with a dark face.
When Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhang put down their things and went downstairs, they bumped into the two people coming upstairs. They quickly greeted them and slipped away.
Shen Zhi Qiu was just about to take a shower with her nightgown when Gu Qing Yan pushed open the bedroom door.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, when are you going to stop this nonsense?" Gu Qing Yan said coldly, tearing off his tie and throwing it into the laundry basket in a huff.
“If you agree to the divorce, I guarantee you won’t see me tomorrow, and you won’t think I’m being unreasonable.” Shen Zhi Qiu raised her head and lifted an eyebrow.
"I've said it before, I won't get a divorce," Gu Qingyan said coldly. "You might as well give up on that idea now."
"Oh, then we have nothing to talk about." Shen Zhi Qiu's tone turned cold as she pushed open the bathroom door and went inside.
When she came out of the shower, Gu Qingyan was no longer in the room.
Ha, he got upset with me and went to find that woman downstairs. What a scoundrel! He really knows how to enjoy life!
But then Shen Zhi Qiu felt relieved. If Gu Qing Yan wasn't there, they wouldn't have to argue tonight, since arguing would affect the child.
She turned off the light, lay down in bed, and felt the soft blankets on her body. She quickly fell asleep.
23:00
Gu Qingyan finished his work and came out of the study. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly found the master bedroom completely dark. With a dark expression, he gently opened the door. Sure enough, this woman really cared less and less about him; she would never leave the light on for him again.
After taking a shower, he lay down next to Shen Zhi Qiu. The faint scent of gardenias on her body made him feel particularly relaxed and comfortable.
He gently wrapped his arms around Shen Zhi Qiu from behind, rested his head against her pillow, and quickly fell asleep.
When Shen Zhi Qiu woke up, she suddenly felt an arm around her waist, and was momentarily dazed. There had been a time when Gu Qing Yan would hold her as she fell asleep. During that period, she secretly rejoiced, thinking that feelings had developed between them.
Unexpectedly, one night, Gu Qingyan returned home drunk and made no attempt to hide his resistance towards her. From then on, he started leaving early and returning late again, as if deliberately avoiding sleeping with her.
She later inquired and found out that Xiao Wanqing seemed to have returned to China for vacation during that period.
She gave a wry smile; so that's how it is. She had overestimated herself after all. Shen Zhi Qiu and Gu Qing Yan then resumed their usual calm interactions, neither of them mentioning the incident.
Now that Xiao Wanqing is back, he defended her so fiercely in front of her last night, yet this morning he was holding her in bed. What does he take her for?
She slapped Gu Qingyan's hand away and got up, not wanting to lie next to him anymore.
Gu Qingyan was startled awake. Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's cold face, she scolded him with a bit of morning grumpiness, "What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"
“Yes, I like to act crazy. Go down and find Xiao Wanqing. She never acts crazy.” Shen Zhi Qiu retorted irritably, then held up a necklace she had bought last night in front of the mirror.
"Shen Zhi Qiu! What exactly do you want?" Gu Qingyan was already a little angry from being woken up. He sat up and saw Shen Zhi Qiu trying on a necklace, so he said, "If you divorce me, there won't be any more gold cards for you to swipe, no more luxury bags or clothes, and it's impossible for you to buy dozens of kilograms of gold at once! Have you thought about that?" Thinking of this, he suddenly felt more confident. After all, in Nancheng, no one was richer than him and could provide Shen Zhi Qiu with such good material conditions.
"Oh," Shen Zhi Qiu replied with her back to him.
Gu Qingyan couldn't see her expression, so he assumed she would let it go and breathed a sigh of relief.
