Chapter 52 So you’ve been avoiding me these days because you want to divorce me, right?
Their eyes met, countless emotions entangled together, and finally Chen Yuan looked away first.
The fat dog growled at Gu Huailing and turned away, leaving only its butt facing him.
Gu Huailing looked at the man and the dog, and the depressed mood that had accumulated in his chest suddenly dissipated completely.
Gu Huailing took a step forward, but unexpectedly the fat dog stopped him first, baring its teeth and wagging its tail at him.
Gu Huailing glanced at the dog indifferently, and the fat dog ran away again in a very cowardly manner.
Gu Huailing walked over and sat down next to the woman. "Zhu Linliang, let's go back first."
Shen Yuan curled her fingers together unconsciously.
Gu Huailing saw her hesitation, but did not let her sit there.
He stretched out his hand and looked at Chen Yuan. In his dark eyes, there were some emotions that even Chen Yuan could not grasp.
"Madam, let's go back."
Chen Yuan pursed her lips, she stood up, but did not hold Gu Huailing's hand, she walked forward first.
"ah!"
A short scream came out of her mouth, and Shen Yuan fell forward. Just when she thought she was going to fall.
The cool fragrance of ink wafted in, and Gu Huailing held her in his arms.
The cold, familiar breath instantly surrounded her and forcefully invaded her nasal cavity.
Shen Yuan's nose felt sore, and the next second her eyes turned red.
"Do your feet hurt?" Gu Huailing picked her up by the waist and put her on the stool.
He squatted in front of Shen Yuan and checked her ankle.
The man's palm was dry and warm, and he felt a scorching heat through the thin fabric.
"Does it hurt?" Gu Huailing spoke again in a tense voice.
Chen Yuan nodded, and her clear eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Gu Huailing held her feet, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his hands moved more gently.
He looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Madam, look at me."
Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at him, and the next second the man's hand moved, and a piercing pain surged up.
Shen Yuan bit the corner of her lips tightly.
Gu Huailing's voice was gentle, "Madam, does it still hurt?"
Shen Yuan shook his head and said nothing.
Gu Huailing sighed, squatted down in front of her, and said without question, "Come up, I'll carry you back."
Shen Yuan looked at the man's back, took a step forward, leaned forward and wrapped his arms around his neck.
Gu Huailing stood up straight and weighed the man up. "Have you lost weight in the past few days?"
Chen Yuan hummed in a muffled voice.
The night wind was cool, blowing on the two of them. Gu Huailing took every step very steadily. Instead of returning to the bedroom, he carried Chen Yuan on his back to the study.
Sanjiu moved quickly and when the two of them returned, dinner had already been prepared in the study.
During the dinner, Shen Yuan had no appetite but he was able to control his emotions well.
Gu Huailing served her food as usual, but he didn't eat much himself.
After the meal, the servants cleared away the dishes quickly.
Chen Yuan stood up and bowed to Gu Huailing, "My Lord, please be busy first. I will go to rest."
People haven't left yet.
He grabbed my hand.
"Where are we going to rest?" Gu Huailing's voice was low and a little cold.
Chen Yuan lowered her eyes and tried to pull her hand away, but he held her tighter and tighter.
"Let go first." Shen Yuan's tone was a little muffled.
Gu Huailing showed no sign of letting go. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows sharp and his eyebrows thin. "I asked the servants to change the things in the bedroom. I'll stay in the study today."
"Why?" The words came out subconsciously.
Gu Huailing looked at the woman's nervous face, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
He put his arm around her waist and forced her to look him in the eye. "Because the Madam has let in an eyesore."
Shen Yuan understood what he meant and looked up at him, "Don't you like it?"
Gu Huailing was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "What do you like? Do you like Madam to take a concubine for me?"
Shen Yuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Gu Huailing didn't give her a chance to answer. He held the back of her head and kissed her.
Gu Huailing poured all the longing of the past few days into this kiss.
Chen Yuan's heart suddenly started beating very fast, and she suddenly wanted to hide. However, the more she wanted to hide, the more force Gu Huailing increased.
Finally, when she couldn't breathe anymore, he let her go.
The corners of Chen Yuan's eyes were red, and it was unclear whether she was wronged or being bullied.
She thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea. She had already gained enough benefits and could not expect more.
She organized her words and said tactfully, "You don't have to consider my feelings, sir. If there is someone you like, you can tell me and I won't stop you."
Gu Huailing's eyes darkened, his dark pupils filled with endless oppression and coldness. "Ayuan, can you say that again?"
The ambiguity around him completely faded away, and it was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Chen Yuan subconsciously avoided his gaze, biting her lip and continued, "I know that you married me because of my status and that you used me as a cover to protect the one you love, but I don't want you to put yourself in a difficult position."
"Marrying you is marrying above my station. If you think the time is right, we can divorce at any time, or you can give me a letter of divorce. As long as it can help the Shen family overturn the case, anything is fine."
The atmosphere in the study suddenly dropped. Although it was a warm spring night, Chen Yuan felt like she was in the coldest part of winter.
Shen Yuan did not regret saying this, or rather, she had already made up her mind when she saw Gu Huailing and Nan Shuqing together.
Gu Huailing doesn't owe her anything.
She can't let others give up the one they love because of selfishness.
This is too cruel to him.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing's eyes that were about to storm, and wondered if her words were too straightforward.
"So, Madam has been avoiding me these past few days because she wants to divorce me, right?"
Gu Huailing's expression was calm and his tone was the same as always.
Shen Yuan sensed something unusual in his words. She looked at Gu Huailing and explained again, "I don't want a divorce. I want to fulfill your wish."
Gu Huailing raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips. The smile was cold, but Chen Yuan felt a little panicked in his heart.
His expression remained calm, and Shen Yuan couldn't guess his mood.
Gu Huailing's grip on Chen Yuan's waist tightened, and he said casually, "Who did Madam meet yesterday? Why did she first want to take a concubine for me, and then talk about divorce?"
His tone was steady and he seemed to be smiling.
However, Shen Yuan could sense some fear in his voice.
She lowered her eyes, not wanting to meet Gu Huailing's, and whispered, "Those two concubines were chosen for you by the Marquis's wife. She said they were chosen based on your preferences."
Gu Huailing nodded and said calmly to the outside: "Someone come."
Sanjiu appeared immediately.
Gu Huailing's brow darkened. "Tie those two up and throw them into Ronghui Courtyard. Also, warn the Marquis' wife to behave herself, otherwise don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Sanjiu immediately responded and did it.
Gu Huailing's grip on Shen Yuan's waist tightened inch by inch, "Madam hasn't told me yet, who did you meet yesterday? Or what did you hear from them?"
