Chapter 47: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (47)
"So you weren't going to confess to me that night?"
Wen Wan: Uh, it's that dog's fault.
She won't carry it.
She tugged at Gu Ci's sleeve and shook it, "I was wrong. I don't know how to explain it to you. I can't very well tell you that your wife didn't die, that she came back to life and came to find you, can I?"
Gu Ci: "Why not?"
"This doesn't make sense. I was afraid you'd be scared, and besides, I thought you and Shen Li were together..."
"I'm not afraid of you exploding your body, I'm only afraid of you leaving." Gu Ci reached out and grabbed Wen Wan's slender white fingertips and rubbed them. He originally wanted to hit her, but he couldn't bear to.
Gu Ci sighed. His temper was being worn down by this little devil. If he hadn't discovered it, would this little devil have planned to never acknowledge him again? Or would he have quietly run away again at some point?
He was heartbroken the first time he experienced this, and he doesn't know what he would do if it happened again.
Wen Wan shook Gu Ci's hand, "I'm sorry~"
"Speak politely and don't whine."
"Are you Sisi or Wen Wan? Let me guess, you've forgotten that agreement, maybe because it wasn't signed by you and me, right?"
Wen Wan was stunned.
"Almost...more or less."
"You became Qin Sisi after my accident, which is why your personality suddenly changed and you said those things. It's all because of some mission that you need to do."
Wen Wan was a little flustered.
"And Sisi's death was also part of the mission? You think I have something to do with Shen Li, is that what the person who gave you the mission said? You want to make Shen Li and me be together, right?"
Wen Wan quickly called out to the system, "What should I do? What should I do? Aci is too smart. He guessed it before I even said anything."
system:【……】
"But the Wen Wan of today is the real you. You suddenly appeared in this world and had no interpersonal relationships for the first twenty-odd years. You had no parents, no relatives, no friends, and no social life."
Wen Wan tried to pull her hand back, but Gu Ci held it tightly.
"But you still gave yourself away. You couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan, thinking they were sick, and you even risked being discovered to go to their house to check on them. Was it fun pretending to be a teacher, Teacher Wen?"
"You recognized me back then?" Wen Wan felt like her toes were about to start working again. It was so embarrassing. She had worked so hard to act back then, but the other person had already noticed.
"It has to be earlier. The tone of voice, some habitual actions, and appearance can be changed, but these things cannot be changed. For example, you can stare at me in a daze, you can be tempted by me, and you can swallow your saliva when you see me."
"I...I didn't want you."
What are you craving? That's so embarrassing.
Gu Ci leaned closer to Wen Wan, who was instantly bombarded with a million points of beauty from him. His deep, cello-like voice said, "Really?"
Wen Wan was shamelessly tempted; such a handsome man! She swallowed hard.
I can't take it!
Blushing, Wen Wan hurriedly took several steps back. "I...I...okay, I admit it, I was a tiny bit out of control, okay?"
"It's good to admit it."
"Then when will you come home with me?"
"go home?"
Wen Wan shook her head. "I don't know how to go back with you. Jiao Jiao and Xuan Xuan remember Qin Sisi's face. How am I supposed to explain my identity? And if you get together with me, won't your devoted lover persona collapse?"
"I'm not afraid of my wife's body exploding, isn't that enough of a devoted lover?"
"Why should we care about what outsiders say? As for Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan, they will gradually like and accept you, and they will feel your presence."
"Let me think about it."
"Do you want to be a scumbag woman? Abandon your husband and children?" Gu Ci's tone suddenly became dangerous.
"I don't!"
"Then go back and be my wife."
Wen Yan: "..."
"What should I do, my darling? Is he proposing to me? Should I say yes? Or should I be more reserved?"
The system watched as the progress bar had risen to 75/100.
Whatever, as long as the task is completed.
[Host, follow your true feelings and don't have any reservations.]
"Since you're so devoted and sincere to me, I'll be your wife."
Gu Ci's lips curled up. "Then let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away."
The little darling wants to establish a name first, lest the person run away again.
"Huh? Isn't this...too fast?"
Why are you going to the marriage registry office so soon after proposing? Even a rocket couldn't move that fast!
"It's not fast, it's just going through the motions."
Wen Wan nodded. "Then let's go. I'll go get my documents and change my clothes."
When Wen Wan came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she looked at the red marriage certificate in her hand. She never expected that she would actually get married.
Such a handsome and wealthy man has actually become hers.
Hands on hips, trying to laugh.
"Mr. Gu, this is your second marriage, and mine is my first. If you don't treat me well, I'll dump you, you know?"
Gu Ci pinched Wen Wan's cheek. "Whose fault is it that I remarried?"
"Anyway, it's none of my business."
"I need to talk to Teacher Qingyun about moving out. You have no idea, if it weren't for Teacher Qingyun, I would have been sleeping under a bridge and begging for food. How pitiful!"
—
Qingyun looked at the red marriage certificate in front of him, then at Wen Wan, then at Gu Ci, and then at the red marriage certificate again, feeling as if it were a magical dream.
"You two are married?"
"Um."
Qingyun was surprised that these two people, who seemed to have nothing in common, would suddenly get a marriage certificate. She frowned as she looked at Gu Ci.
"Mr. Gu, let me be blunt. You still love the late Mrs. Gu, and now you've married Wen Wan. You're not just using her as a substitute, are you?"
"Children are relatively naive, lack social experience and emotional experience, and are easily tempted by appearances and money, lacking self-control."
Subtext: You're not trying to scam me into marriage!
"No, I'm serious about Yuan Yuan, and I don't see her as a substitute for anyone."
Wen Wan held Gu Ci's hand and said, "Sister Yun, I like A-Ci, and I won't regret it."
Qingyun still didn't quite approve of the whirlwind marriage, but since they had already gotten their marriage certificate, her disapproval wouldn't change anything.
"Alright, the kid's all grown up now and has his own ideas."
"Just remember, if he treats you badly, come to me. Don't make yourself suffer."
Wen Wan nodded.
“I knew Sister Yun was the best.” Wen Wan walked over and hugged Qingyun. “Even though he’s very good to me, I will never forget Sister Yun.”
"You're so sweet-talking."
The two left Qingyun's house and returned to Gu's house.
Wen Wan was so nervous her throat felt like it was on fire.
"Maybe we should take it slow. I don't think we need to rush." With that, she turned to leave.
Gu Ci: "Wanwan, are you going to separate from me on our first day of marriage?"
"No, it's just that it might be too sudden for Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan. I think we should proceed step by step."
This still doesn't work.
She had no idea how to face her two children.
What if they don't like me?
“Wanwan, Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan are your children, and they are very sensible.”
Gu Ci held Wen Wan in his arms, "They will recognize you. Even if your body doesn't remember, your emotions will sense it, just like mine."
Gu Ci looked at Wen Wan intently.
"Really?"
"Believe me."
Wen Wan gradually calmed down and then let Gu Ci lead her into the Gu family home.
