Originally, Third Uncle had promised to help with the wedding, so Li Xiujun couldn't bear to let him sleep on the floor. She stammered, "I can put a few more layers of quilts on, so I won't catch a cold."
Besides, it is early autumn now, how could I catch a cold?
Gu Qingming ignored her and continued to make the bed.
Suddenly, I thought of the other person in his previous life who often slumped on the sofa in the company to handle work, and eventually had problems with his waist and shoulders.
After all, they were barely partners now, so any help was appreciated. However, given his stubbornness, if he insisted on sleeping on the floor, his spot would definitely be taken away.
Li Xiujun gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle San, why don't we sleep together?"
Gu Qingming paused slightly, looked up at her with a sharp gaze: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Afraid the other party would misunderstand, he added, "We just sleep separately. Even though we share the same bed, we don't fulfill the obligations of a couple."
In fact, after saying this, Li Xiujun felt a little regretful.
She could have used another excuse to move herself to another room. She had never slept with anyone in her life.
But the words have been spoken, so I can only let it go.
Afraid that her sleeping posture at night was indecent and she would accidentally bump into her uncle, she placed a quilt between the two of them and wrapped her whole body tightly.
But in Gu Qingming's eyes, it was completely the opposite.
She looked so cautious, as if she treated him as a first-level criminal, afraid that he would do something wrong.
"call--"
Lying back on the bed, Li Xiujun let out a long sigh.
Is she crazy? She actually took the initiative to propose to sleep with a strange man, and the man is Uncle San. Does she think she is living too comfortably?
Gu Qingming lay on his side, his eyes sweeping over the undulating ridges of the quilt, and he gave a wry smile: "If you really feel uncomfortable, I'd better go down and make a bed on the floor."
Hearing the sound, Li Xiujun quickly shook her head. Thinking that the other party couldn't see clearly in the dark, she moved back to increase the distance between them.
"No, no, no, I'm just not used to it. Uncle San, go to sleep."
Smelling the cool fragrance of cedar spreading in the air, Li Xiujun miraculously felt at ease and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the moonlight, Gu Qingming could vaguely see the girl curled up in the quilt, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her fair skin flushed light pink due to the tightness.
Unable to help, his fingers gently touched her eyebrows, slid across her tightly closed eyes, moved to her high nose bridge, and finally landed on her cherry blossom-like lips.
"I like you, really."
…
When Li Xiujun woke up, it was bright outside and the sun was shining into every corner of the bedroom, making her feel warm.
Gu Qingming got up early and was standing by the windowsill organizing documents, his figure tall and straight.
She stretched her arms, feeling the soreness in her body, and couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. She couldn't remember anything about last night, only that she finally fell asleep in a daze, curled up in the quilt.
etc!
Roll up the quilt?!
Looking around the bed, the thin red quilt she was wrapped in was long gone.
Only after bending her head did Li Xiujun find it on the ground.
Wasn't the thing covering her body Uncle San's? She had thought she had made perfect preparations last night, but it turned out to be nothing more than a decoration.
My cheeks instantly burned, and I quickly grabbed my clothes and ran to the bathroom to wash up. After I was done, I slowly went to the table to eat breakfast.
All three grandchildren of the Gu family were asked to come back and meet their new aunt.
Gu Liang was fine; after all, they just watched a movie and didn't have much contact. As for Gu Yao and Gu Ming, their faces looked uglier than if they had eaten shit.
Especially Gu Ming, if it weren't for Mr. Gu's insistence, he probably wouldn't want to see the so-called Third Aunt again in his life.
Who would have thought that the person he thought was going to marry would turn out to be his third uncle's wife? If his grandfather hadn't been watching in the living room, he would have gone to question why Li Xiujun changed her mind at the last minute.
Li Xiujun was so preoccupied with whether she had done anything out of line last night that she naturally didn't notice the undercurrents at the dinner table.
The only one who was satisfied was probably Mr. Gu. He smiled and asked the servant to bring a bowl of red dates and wolfberry chicken soup: "Xiujun, come, drink more chicken soup to replenish your body. Look how thin you are."
Noticing that his three grandsons were silently lowering their heads and not saying anything, he slapped them one by one.
"You bunch of damned boys, how can you not have any manners? Call someone! From now on, Xiujun is your third aunt."
What does it mean to be not very harmful but extremely insulting?
Gu Yao was quite open-minded. After all, his grandfather knew his temper. Even if he was sued, he would at most be scolded.
Following Gu Liang, he said with a playful smile: "Hello, Third Aunt."
As for Gu Ming, his lips moved several times, but he still couldn't make up his mind. He forced his face and turned his head away.
I thought Grandpa would understand, so I let him get away with it. Who would have thought that Grandpa Gu would slap me on the back and say, "What are you daydreaming about? Your brother and your younger brother have already called me Auntie, so is it that hard to call me Third Auntie?"
It's not just difficult, it's even more painful than forcing myself to rewrite twenty papers.
Li Xiujun's consciousness was pulled back, and she was looking forward to hearing Gu Ming call her "Auntie": "Second nephew, tell me, we are all family, why are you still so shy? There will be many opportunities to call me Auntie in the future."
Perhaps this sentence suddenly irritated a nerve in him, and he yelled at Third Aunt in despair.
The voice was so loud that Li Xiujun was frightened and trembled subconsciously.
After Gu Ming finished shouting, he felt that he had lost face, so he dropped his bowl and chopsticks and ran back to his room angrily.
Old Master Gu smiled broadly, not affected at all: "Eat, eat, don't worry about him, this kid likes to act crazy from time to time."
He naturally understood his grandson's thoughts very well. Originally, as long as Xiujun could marry into the Gu family, he would be happy no matter which one he chose.
Now it’s even better. I can lure the person into their home and solve Qingming’s important life event at the same time. It’s the best of both worlds.
The two of them have already gotten married, and there are some inappropriate thoughts about them. As a grandfather, he should also help clean up.
Gu Ming slammed the door, thinking that someone would knock on the door soon to coax him to come for dinner. But he waited and waited, but heard nothing.
He was so angry that he took out a few bills from the cabinet and planned to go out for a meal.
When I passed by the restaurant, I heard the laughter coming from inside, and my depressed mood instantly dissipated, replaced by a feeling of resentment.
"Bah! I treated her so well, buying her clothes, giving her jewelry, and even treating her to dinner, but in the end she actually fell for that old man, Third Uncle."
The huge amount of money spent was wasted and used to support someone else's wife.
No one can remain calm and pretend that this never happened.
