He lowered his eyes, a hint of inquiry in them.
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness: "Commander Gu, you're finally back..."
Gu Chengfeng's dark eyes suddenly darkened, and his lips tightened.
It was Chen Wenzhong's bodyguard, Xiao Zhou, whose name was also very easy to remember: Zhou Zheng.
"Xiao Zhou?" Gu Chengfeng stared at him coldly and indifferently.
Zhou Zheng felt his hair stand on end under his gaze and hurriedly explained, "Commander Gu, these were all bought by Commander Chen to apologize to you."
Although Chen Wenzhong is his superior, Gu Chengfeng is not going to give him any face today!
He's furious; no amount of apology will help him.
Without even glancing at the pile of things, he said coldly, "Take it back and tell him I don't need it."
Zhou Zheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. This was a task assigned to him by Commander Chen, who gave him a death order to deliver it to Gu Chengfeng no matter what.
Seeing them open the courtyard gate, Zhou Zheng anxiously said, "Commander Gu, don't you understand who Commander Chen is?"
“This has nothing to do with him; it’s all his wife’s doing.”
"You can't take your anger out on Commander Chen..."
In Zhou Zheng's eyes, it was all Yang Qiuxia's fault, and it had nothing to do with Chen Tuan. He was even innocent.
Before Gu Chengfeng could speak, Shen Sisi couldn't help but retort, "Husband and wife are one, why are you talking like two different people now?"
“I did give her chances before. Chen Tuan was also present at the time. After returning, he did not educate or criticize Yang Qiuxia or stop her bad behavior. This is his dereliction of duty as a husband.”
Chen Sisi's words were resounding, each syllable striking Zhou Zheng's heart, leaving him with no way to refute them.
Thinking about it, it's clear that Commander Chen did indeed do some ideological work regarding this matter.
We're really in the wrong...
“But this time, Commander Chen is serious,” Zhou Zheng couldn’t help but say.
"Chen Tuan sent all his children back to his hometown. He just went to the hospital and started making a scene about getting a divorce. I think this time... he's serious!"
As a mother, Shen Sisi certainly understands the heartache.
But she really couldn't sympathize with Yang Qiuxia.
Children who follow people like Yang Qiuxia will inevitably go astray sooner or later.
As for the divorce... that's between the two of them, it has nothing to do with her!
Zhou Zheng, sweating profusely, pleaded, "Commander Gu, Sister-in-law Shen, please be lenient and accept Commander Chen's apology!"
Looking at that youthful face, I wondered how someone with such a brain could become a bodyguard.
"Comrade, please get this straight. They are the ones who hurt me and disrupted my harmony with my family. Why do you make it sound like we're the ones bullying them?"
"If we don't agree, if we don't forgive, will we become sinners?"
These words left Zhou Zheng speechless. He swore that he had absolutely no ulterior motives and thought that Commander Chen was a very good person who wanted to help him resolve the matter peacefully.
Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists, but Shen Sisi defused them with just a few words. He had no choice but to accept it!
"Alright, take your things and go." Gu Chengfeng issued his final ultimatum.
No matter what Zhou Zheng said, they didn't give him a kind look, and they didn't even look at the things before closing the courtyard gate.
Finally, the world is at peace...
Shen Sisi asked with a worried expression, "If I offend your boss like this, will you be in trouble?"
Gu Chengfeng gave a nonchalant smirk: "They're the ones who should be in trouble!"
Seeing that her brows remained furrowed, Gu Chengfeng gently smoothed her forehead with his two warm thumbs: "Don't worry, leave the outside matters to me. Instead of worrying about me getting into trouble with my superiors, you should think about how to get away with it..."
He gestured with his chin towards Xu Hongying, who was running around the yard, and reminded her, "She's going to supervise us when we're having a baby."
A faint blush suddenly spread across Chen Sisi's face, and her eyes instinctively darted away.
It would be one thing if Xu Hongying said it, but why did Gu Chengfeng have to say it to her face?
"Gu Chengfeng, stop joking. If we never have children, your mother won't just keep living here forever, will she?"
Gu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow. His mother seemed unreliable, and in fact she really was. Once she made up her mind about something, not even ten oxen could pull her back.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to play along..."
After saying that, Gu Chengfeng calmly walked into the room and began to make the bed.
Chen Si watched his quick movements, going straight to his room as soon as he got home. Why... why did it feel like he was really looking forward to it?
It must be her imagination!
Chen Sisi wasn't idle either; she picked up Niu Niu and went to the kitchen to boil water in preparation for washing up.
Throughout the journey, Niu Niu kept clutching the safety buckle on her chest, as if afraid someone would snatch it away from her.
"Come on, Niu Niu, let Mommy help you take the jade off."
Niu Niu pouted and said with a smile, "No!"
She had always been docile and obedient, but she never expected that she would be spoiled and become more and more willful so soon after arriving in Jiangcheng.
"Sweetie, this doesn't belong to us..." Realizing that her words were too abstract, she tried to speak in language that Niu Niu could understand.
“Niu Niu, this jade pendant is very expensive. It's made of jade, and it will break if it gets bumped or knocked. You don't want to lose the gift Grandma gave you, right?”
"Here, Mom will keep it for you..."
She crouched down, her voice gentle and soft, but the clever little girl, Niu Niu, wasn't fooled at all.
Those big, clear black and white eyes rolled around: "Mommy, Grandma said this was a gift for me, so it's mine. I'll take good care of it and not let it get damaged..."
Niu Niu was afraid that someone would snatch the jade pendant, so she quickly stuffed it into her clothes with her little hands.
Shen Sisi really couldn't do anything with her. The little girl hadn't grown much taller, but her brain had grown a lot...
Since the child genuinely liked it, she didn't force him. She just wondered how much the jade was worth and how she would give the money to Gu Chengfeng later, as if she had bought it.
Soon, the stove heated up.
Chen Sisi boiled a large pot of water, and after a quick wash, she left the remaining water for Xu Hongying to take a shower.
She chased Yang Qiuxia all over the yard with a manure brush this morning, and she still smells of it.
The family took turns washing up, and by the end there was no hot water left, so Gu Chengfeng took a cold shower as usual.
Just thinking about how Shen Sisi used her hands and feet on him last night made his blood boil, and he almost couldn't control himself.
Cold water dripped down my head, temporarily suppressing my wild thoughts, and then a cheerful whistle rang out.
He hurriedly took a shower, made sure he smelled nice, and pushed open the door with anticipation.
He was dumbfounded as soon as he went in.
