Chapter 47: A Gift For You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Nianyao had asked Aunt Zhang about it, but Gu Wencheng said that Aunt Zhang had something to do in her hometown and had gone back. Meng Nianyao didn’t have any doubts about this and spent two days getting used to this new servant, Sis Wang.
These few days, Meng Nianyao had been staying at home in a daze. She didn’t have much energy. Sis Wang wanted her to go out for a walk and tried to chat with her, but Meng Nianyao wasn’t interested. Sometimes, she didn’t say anything, and sometimes she would just give simple replies.
One day, Gu Wencheng came back from work. Sister Wang heard the noise and went to open the door.
Gu Wencheng changed his shoes at the entrance and asked, “How is Nianyao today?”
Sis Wang subconsciously turned around and saw Meng Nianyao sitting by the window, hugging her knees in a daze. She shook her head. “She still doesn’t like to talk. She doesn’t eat much either. She just sits by the window the whole day and hasn’t moved.”
Gu Wencheng looked over and saw Meng Nianyao’s slender back. He nodded.”You can go back first.”
Sis Wang had already prepared dinner. She nodded and said that the food was on the table before leaving.
The room was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Gu Wencheng stood in place and watched for a while before slowly walking towards Meng Nianyao.
Meng Nianyao heard footsteps and turned around. She said,” I’m back.” After Gu Wencheng responded to her, she turned back and continued to stare out the window.
Recently, the sky had turned dark very early. At around five o’clock, the sky was completely dark. Lights lit up outside one after another, decorating the night sky.
When Meng Nianyao was very young, she liked to climb to the top floor of the orphanage alone and look at the lights on the other side. When she was still immature, she simply thought that the lights were beautiful. Later on, when she became sensible, she began to feel sad, sad that among the myriad of lights, not a single one belonged to her.
Gu Wencheng stood beside Meng Nianyao and accompanied her to watch the neon lights outside for a while. He said, “Let’s eat. I’ll give you a gift after dinner.”
Meng Nianyao didn’t like to talk and didn’t have much energy. She was in the same state as usual. Perhaps it was because of Gu Wencheng’s presence that she subconsciously emptied herself and made herself weak.
She nodded and stood up. Gu Wencheng took her hand and they walked to the dining room.
Sis Wang’s cooking skills were excellent, and the food she cooked was delicious. In order to let Meng Nianyao eat more, she cooked a variety of dishes
Gu Wencheng scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Meng Nianyao.”Drink a mouthful first to warm your stomach up. Sister Wang said that you haven’t been eating much recently. Is it because you don’t have an appetite? Or are you feeling unwell?”
Gu Wencheng had just returned from work. He was still wearing a suit and looked cold and noble. Although they had done the most intimate thing in the world, they were still strangers. However, he cared about her very much. Meng Nianyao couldn’t understand him, nor did she want to. She was afraid and did not dare to think too much.
Meng Nianyao took the bowl and took a sip. She nodded and said, “I just don’t have much of an appetite. 1’11 be fine in two days.”
Gu Wencheng stared at her for a few seconds before finally nodding.
They ate dinner quietly. Meng Nianyao ate a little more than she did a few days ago.
After dinner, Gu Wencheng went to the study and handed her a document. Meng Nianyao looked up. “For me? What is this?”
“Open it and take a look.”
Meng Nianyao took it and opened the folder. She took out the documents and read them page by page. A smile appeared on her face, and her eyes reddened.
Meng Haotian was found out by many real estate companies that he was selling inferior construction materials. They jointly sued him, and Meng Haotian’s family was destroyed overnight.
“Hahahaha!” Meng Nianyao held the document and laughed maniacally/’Retribution! Retribution! This was retribution! His retribution is finally here!”
There had never been a moment when she was as happy as she was now, happy from the inside out. Meng Nianyao smiled without caring about her image. She held Gu Wencheng’s hand and shared with him, “I’m so happy, Gu Wencheng. I’m really happy. Thank you, thank you so much…”
Meng Nianyao laughed until her tears fell. She raised her hand to wipe them away and looked at Gu Wencheng. “I’m really happy…”
Gu Wencheng looked at her smile and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
“Shall we have a drink to celebrate?” As Meng Nianyao spoke, she turned around and went to the kitchen. There was a row of wine racks in the kitchen, and there were a few bottles of red wine on them. She had never opened the red wine before, so she couldn’t remove the cork no matter how hard she tried..
