Chapter 64:1 Will Protect My Wife
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sis Wang had never seen Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu before. After making tea for the two of them, she left the ward.
Grandma Gu was angry and amused when she saw Meng Nianyao protecting Gu Wencheng. She was angry because she was so sick, yet she still had to protect Gu Wencheng. She was laughing at herself. She had thought that Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng’s relationship wasn’t very good and that it was Gu Wencheng’s wishful thinking. Now it seemed that wasn’t the case.
“Why didn’t you notice?” Meng Nianyao was thin, and so were her blood vessels; after a few days of infusion, both her hands were blue and purple. Grandma Gu’s heart ached when she saw this. She wanted to reach out to touch her, but was afraid of hurting her. “Silly child, you have to remember that you’re looking for a boyfriend, your future husband. He has to pamper you, give in to you, and let you be painless. If he can’t do these things, then you don’t have to have him.”
“Grandma…” Meng Nianyao was a little embarrassed. “There’s no way to avoid getting sick…”
“Of course it can be avoided.” Grandma Gu glanced at Grandpa Gu, who was reading a magazine on the sofa outside. She snorted and sat down by Meng Nianyao’s bed. “Didn’t you drink with Gu Wencheng this time?”
Meng Nianyao was speechless.
Grandma Gu said, “Just you wait. I’ll teach him a lesson when he gets back.”
Meng Nianyao smiled and was about to speak when she saw Gu Wencheng standing at the door. Grandpa Gu was still sitting on the sofa without moving. He would occasionally glance at the ward and cough.
Gu Wencheng raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes to see his grandmother’s unhappy face. Her gaze met Meng Nianyao’s for a moment, but before she could say anything, Grandma Gu pointed at a spot and said with a serious expression, “You, stand there.”
Meng Nianyao looked at him and was about to speak when Gu Wencheng walked over without a retort.
“Gu Wencheng, let me ask you. Did your parents, your grandfather, and 1 always tell you that the most important quality for a man is responsibility?”
“Yes.” Gu Wencheng stood with his legs together and his back straight.
“Then how did Nianyao end up like this?” Grandma Gu frowned.” Asking a group of people to force your girlfriend to drink? Are you a failure?”
“No…” Meng Nianyao couldn’t help but defend Gu Wencheng. “I’m with… Gu Wencheng and I…No one in the company knows about our relationship… Besides, this is my job as an assistant. This illness isn’t all because of drinking. It’s because my health is poor to begin with—”
“Nianyao, you don’t have to speak up for him.”
Meng Nianyao shut up at Grandma Gu’s words.
However, Gu Wencheng’s expression didn’t change at all. Grandma Gu became even angrier when she saw Gu Wencheng’s expression. She turned to Grandpa Gu and shouted, “Come here quickly and break this kid’s leg! I’m so angry!” Grandpa Gu frowned, got up, and walked in.
Although Meng Nianyao didn’t think that Grandpa Gu would really attack Gu Wencheng, she couldn’t help but worry. She looked at Gu Wencheng and saw him walking over slowly and standing by the bed. “Grandma, don’t worry. There won’t be a next time. 1 can’t even bear to bully my own wife. How can 1 let others bully her?”
His words were like a sudden clap of thunder that stunned everyone present.
Meng Nianyao looked at Gu Wencheng in disbelief. She didn’t expect him to mention their marriage so casually!
Grandma Gu was stunned for a few seconds. She looked back and forth between Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao and finally smiled happily. Grandpa Gu stood behind Grandma Gu and looked at Gu Wencheng with a heavy gaze. “Nianyao is my daughter-in-law?” Grandma Gu said, unable to suppress the smile in her voice.
Meng Nianyao was embarrassed. Her face slowly turned red.
“Yes.” Gu Wencheng looked at Meng Nianyao’s shy face and the smile on his face slowly deepened. Just as he was about to speak, Grandpa Gu looked at him with a serious expression and asked, “When did you get your certificate?”
Gu Wencheng stopped smiling at Grandpa Gu and became serious.’Two months ago.”
Grandpa Gu’s face darkened, and even Grandma Gu’s smile disappeared.
Meng Nianyao was a sensitive person. When she saw Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu’s expressions, she felt that they might be dissatisfied with her and felt that she wasn’t worthy of Gu Wencheng. She felt embarrassed and was afraid that they would say something unpleasant. She didn’t want to be insulted, but she couldn’t leave this occasion..
