Chapter 59: On the Surface



Gu Hong looked at Shen Ningsi, and no one could understand the emotions in his eyes.

"You are indeed a very interesting woman."

At first, he married Shen Ningsi just to find a mother for Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu. As a grown man, he didn't pay attention to too many details.

With a woman by her side, Gu Yuner can also be better taken care of.

The only thing Gu Hong didn't expect was that after getting drunk one time, he had a truly intimate relationship with Shen Ningsi.

Unexpectedly, he went to the battlefield and after returning, he had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

The time they had spent together was too short, so Gu Hong had never clearly understood what kind of person Shen Ningsi was. This time when he came back, he witnessed Shen Ningsi arranging things in a clear and orderly manner under the attention of everyone.

We also witnessed that from such a weak body, one clever idea after another emerged and saved Wanning Village.

She was already an extremely outstanding woman, which was enough to attract Gu Hong, not to mention that she kept saying outside that she was deeply in love with him.

Gu Hong is a normal man, and he naturally has all the thoughts that a man should have.

Unconsciously, Gu Hong had already focused most of his attention on Shen Ningsi, but now what she said was just a temporary measure, how could he accept it? !

"Who the hell told you that I want you to be my mistress?"

“…”

Shen Ningsi felt that she didn’t quite understand what Gu Hong meant, “Huh?”

Gu Hong couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He had never felt so hateful towards this seemingly weak woman before him. "Is there anything you can't understand? I never intended for you to be my mistress from the beginning!"

"Since I married you here, you are my wife for life. Now that we're in the capital, do I have to make you a concubine? Although I didn't hold a banquet for guests from all over the world, you have also worshipped heaven and earth with me. Is this ceremony invalid?"

Gu Hong gritted his teeth and tilted his head, anger etched in every word, "I've already made this clear. As long as you follow me, the position of the general's wife will only be yours, and it will never fall to anyone else."

Gu Xiuwu was also stunned.

At first, he looked at Gu Hong's attitude towards Shen Ningsi and thought that Gu Hong didn't regard Shen Ningsi as the general's wife at all. Gu Xiuwu certainly didn't want Shen Ningsi to suffer grievances with Gu Hong.

But now the man actually said this...

Gu Xiuwu wasn't as cunning as his brother. He tilted his head awkwardly, "So what do you mean? You don't really like my mother, do you? If you like my mother, why do you treat her like this?"

Gu Xiuwu's idea was very simple. No matter how bad Gu Hong was, he was still a great general in the capital. Fan Xing was always extremely obedient in front of Gu Hong.

If Shen Ningsi stayed with Gu Hong, no one would bully Shen Ningsi anymore!

"Mom, why don't you consider this man again? He seems to really like you. What if he's a good person and things really change?"

Gu Xiuwu thought about it for a long time, and finally persuaded Shen Ningsi with great hesitation.

As soon as these words fell, Shen Ningsi and others all had dark faces.

Gu Hong's reaction was the biggest. He straightened his back and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, do you know what I'm thinking? I just have a sense of responsibility, just like Shen Ningsi has a sense of responsibility towards you. Since I married her, it's impossible for me to abandon her at will. I will naturally give her the status she deserves!"

Gu Xiuwen knocked hard on his brother's forehead.

"Can you please stop being such a fence-sitter! Do you believe everything Gu Hong says? You say you care, but isn't that just a simple matter?"

"What we want to see is whether Gu Hong is truly good to Mother. Since he hasn't done anything, why should we hand Mother over to him?"

Gu Xiuwu covered his forehead with his hands. He did not feel aggrieved. After all, his brother always thought more clearly than himself in this regard. If his brother said that, he must be wrong.

"I just felt like Daddy really liked Mom, so I said something extra. But didn't he say it himself? He doesn't like Mom at all. How could I possibly agree to Mom getting back together with him?"

Shen Ningsi glanced at Gu Hong.

The blush on the man's face had completely disappeared, and he now had a dark face and looked bitter and resentful.

Shen Ningsi lowered his eyebrows, “General Gu, I won’t see you off.”

This means seeing the guest off.

If Gu Hong was a knowledgeable and interesting person, he would probably have turned around and left by now.

The general is willing to give the position of his wife to a person with no identity or background. I'm sure everyone would be extremely happy and rush forward.

Shen Ningsi's cold attitude was tantamount to throwing Gu Hong's face to the ground.

Gu Hong took a deep breath. He didn't know why he had to continue arguing with Shen Ningsi when she clearly showed that she didn't want to be involved with him.

"Gu, I know you've suffered a lot recently. I learned all this from Gu Xiuwen and the others. I do feel guilty and admit that there were many things I didn't notice and didn't take good care of you in the past."

Gu Hong looked at Shen Ningsi seriously and said, "I am an ordinary farmer who can make great achievements on the battlefield. Naturally, I have a strong learning ability. I will change the things you care about in the future."

"General Gu."

Shen Ningsi interrupted Gu Hong and said, "You have already said these words, and I have responded to you before. Whether you change or not, it doesn't matter to me."

"It's just a fleeting romance. Wouldn't it be better if neither of us took it to heart?"

Gu Hong's face turned blue and red, like a color palette, and he stared at Shen Ningsi intently.

The woman's face showed no emotion.

In the end, it was Gu Hong who couldn't hold it anymore and he gritted his teeth.

"Chen Ningsi, you have to be the general's wife, whether you like it or not. I don't care whether you like it or not. I will never let my child, Gu Hong, wander around outside."

Looking at the shining dagger in Shen Ningsi's hand, Gu Hong clenched his fists.

"On the surface, we are husband and wife. Whether you are willing to have a relationship or not in private, I will never force you. So, can you throw away what you have in your hand?!"

Shen Ningsi was slightly stunned.

What did he mean? A couple in name only? Just to give himself and his children a good life? When did Gu Hong become such a kindhearted person?

At the moment when Shen Ningsi was stunned, Gu Hong immediately grabbed her wrist and shook it hard.

The dagger finally flew away from Shen Ningsi's neck.

Gu Hong gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take it as your consent!"
