Chapter 44: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (44)
Wen Wan felt very hot.
I'm still a little thirsty.
Gu Ci: "The embroidery here should be finer. Her feet are delicate and easily rubbed, and she is also afraid of pain. When her feet are rubbed, she cries out in pain even in her dreams."
Wen Wan took out her memo and started writing.
"When I took her to the hospital, I was afraid she would wake up, so I put a pair of noise-canceling headphones on her. She really didn't wake up the whole time."
Wen Wan's memories were stirred, and her heart ached.
Gu Ci continued to check the next pair of shoes, "Then I didn't throw away those high heels, but I lied to her that I did. I didn't want her to wear those shoes anymore, but I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I kept them."
"It would be better if the straps here were a little looser."
Wen Wan remembered this.
"The sole of these shoes could be a little softer."
Looking at Gu Ci, who was so critical that he was practically nitpicking, Wen Wan wanted to ask: Why?
The person is already dead, what's the point of worrying about these things?
"Mr. Gu is so good to Mrs. Gu."
Gu Ci's eyes were filled with sorrow. "I wasn't good enough. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to leave me. I rarely even dream about her. Last time, something happened, and I scared her in my dream."
In her dream, Wen Wan shamefully thought of the kiss that Gu Ci had given her while holding her in his arms. It was her first kiss, but she lost it in her dream.
"Mrs. Gu must love Mr. Gu very much, so she must also hope that Mr. Gu will not be sad and can be happy."
"She loves me very much?"
"Of course."
"Then why doesn't she come to see me in my dreams?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"She's blaming me for not receiving that message back then. If I had received it, none of this would have happened."
Wen Wan then remembered the message sent by the junk account the system had made her create.
But how can you blame Gu Ci?
His eyes weren't fully healed to begin with, so he should blame the unreliable system.
"It's all my fault. Why couldn't I see that distress message?"
Why didn't I see it sooner?
“It’s all my fault, so she blames me, so she doesn’t want to see me in her dreams.”
Gu Ci suddenly started covering his head, his expression very strange.
Wen Wan rushed over, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong?"
"She must blame me, she must blame me..."
Wen Wan was terrified and grabbed Gu Ci's hand. "She doesn't blame you. It's not your fault at all. Calm down. She must be too busy in the other world to have time to come. Maybe she'll visit you in your dream tonight?"
No, it won't.
"It will definitely happen, you believe me, so calm down, don't be like this, take a deep breath and calm down."
Will she really come?
This was the first time Wen Wan had seen Gu Ci so vulnerable, like a fragile piece of porcelain, and her heart felt like it was about to break.
She never imagined that she had left such a deep psychological scar on Gu Ci.
Gently patting Gu Ci's back, she said, "Madam Gu will definitely not blame you. She must like you very much. She can't bear to see you sad."
Wen Wan's eyes were red, and she suddenly felt a warmth as she held Gu Ci's hand.
Gu Ci actually cried.
She had cried twice when she saw Gu Ci, once when she saw his corpse, and once now. That tear seemed to have fallen on her heart, almost grinding a hole in it, letting the cold wind blow in.
"I'm sorry," Wen Wan said instinctively.
She made too many mistakes. If she hadn't paired Gu Ci and Shen Li up, hadn't spent money to find that bastard, and hadn't sent that message to Gu Ci, none of this would have happened. So what if the mission failed?
At least Gu Ci is still alright.
It's all her fault.
He stayed with Gu Ci until Gu Ci calmed down before letting him go.
"Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."
Gu Ci seemed to have regained his composure. "It's alright, I'm sorry you had to see this. I was probably just reminded of something by these shoes. You should go back now."
Wen Wan left Gu Ci's office with the shoes that needed improvement.
Gu Ci touched the remaining few pairs of shoes and chuckled, "Little liar, this time I won't let you leave again."

After leaving the Gu family, Wen Wan couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You bastard, it's all your fault for coming up with that terrible idea."
system:【……】
It didn't expect the male protagonist to be so deeply in love with his host. What's even more amazing is that the reader satisfaction rating has increased by a few points and is now at 50.
However, it has nothing to do with the official pairing.
So the system is also analyzing the reasons, wondering if it should give up on the official pairing, since the official pairing has no sparks except for having a child.
“I never expected that he would see the message I sent him and cause him so much pain. He thought he could save me, but he was too late. But it was my fault! I brought this on myself.”
"It's not his fault at all."
"You bastard, you bastard, you bastard, it's all your fault, you damn bastard..."
system:【……】

That evening, Wen Wan thought about the promise she had made to Gu Ci during the day, and she had to keep it.
"You bastard, you let me into Gu Ci's dream."
System: [You want to enter his dream again? Last time you almost couldn't get out; I went through so much trouble to pull you out.]
"Then try a little harder this time."
Okay, but remember, speak politely.
Gu Ci left work and went home right on time that day, shocking all the employees.
This scene was never seen again after the lady passed away.
I go to bed at nine o'clock at night.
Sure enough, he dreamed about it again tonight.
Gu Ci smiled and pulled the person into his arms. "Am I dreaming? I missed you so much."
"Aci, I miss you so much too."
[Host, you must pay close attention to the time, and also be careful not to anger the male lead.]
Wen Wan was here to help Gu Ci resolve her inner conflict, so she quickly got to the point, "Aci, I saw you in another world and I was sad because of you, and I was very sad too."
"My accident has nothing to do with you. It's all the fault of the person who caused it. You shouldn't feel any guilt or regret about it, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Sisi."
"Can Sisi come to my dreams every day from now on?"
System: [No way, you'll kill me with this!]
“Okay, I’ll come to see Aci every day from now on.”
System: Host, you're the one who's the bastard, exploiting the system's labor.
"Really? That's great! Sisi said a lot of weird things last time, that's why I got angry. I didn't bite you too hard, did I?"
Wen Wan was forced to recall it again, and she bit her lip until it bled; it hurt quite a bit.
"I'll definitely be gentler next time."
"And there's something I absolutely need to clarify: I have absolutely no relationship with Shen Li. Why are you misunderstanding me, Sisi? How could Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan possibly be Shen Li's children? Sisi, who told you this nonsense?"
Wen Yan: "???"
"Whose children are Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan?"
“It was left by my cousin and her husband. Their plane crashed while they were traveling abroad, and since there was no one to take care of the child, I brought him home. What does it have to do with Shen Li?”
Wen Yan: "???"
"What the hell? What's going on?"
"Didn't you say that Shen Li is Jiao Jiao and Xuan Xuan's biological mother?"
The system was also dumbfounded. [How is this possible? The plot involves the male and female leads having a one-night stand and giving birth to twins; the female lead runs away with the babies?]
"So you have nothing to do with Shen Li?"
“We have no relationship to begin with. If we have to draw a connection, it’s that of a superior and subordinate.”
