When they came out of the hospital, the cold wind made them shiver.
The driver drove over and Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng sat in the back seat.
The driver looked at the rearview mirror and asked, “Boss, Madam, where are we going?”
After Gu Guanping and Lin Ping appeared, Gu Wencheng had been particularly silent. Meng Nianyao glanced at him. Usually, he would return to Splendid Garden, but now that his parents were back, she didn’t know if he should return to the old mansion.
“Let’s go back to Splendid Garden, “Gu Wencheng said coldly when he noticed Meng Nianyao’s gaze.
Meng Nianyao was relieved. She knew that Gu Wencheng’s mother didn’t like her. If they lived together again…
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
When they arrived at Splendid Garden, Gu Wencheng pulled Meng Nianyao out of the car as soon as it was parked. They walked very quickly, and Meng Nianyao called Gu Wencheng several times from behind, but he turned a deaf ear.
The moment the door opened, Gu Wencheng pressed Meng Nianyao against the wall and kissed her. His kiss was urgent and fierce, as if he was venting something or confirming something. Meng Nianyao’s hand, which was about to struggle, slowly rested on his neck and tiptoed slightly to cooperate with his kiss.
In the middle of the night, Meng Nianyao suddenly woke up. She subconsciously touched the other side of the bed, but it was cold. She opened her eyes and switched on the bedside lamp. She took her coat and put it on before walking out of the room.
The living room was very dark and the lights weren’t turned on. However, through the hazy light outside the window, she could see Gu Wencheng sitting there with a cigarette between his fingers.
Meng Nianyao stood rooted to the ground, unsure if she should step forward.
Gu Wencheng heard movement behind him and turned around to see Meng Nianyao standing there looking at him hesitantly. He smiled and put out the cigarette in his hand.” Did I wake you up?”
Since he had been found, there was no need to be conflicted. Meng Nianyao walked over and sat down on the sofa next to Gu Wencheng. “I suddenly woke up and realized that you weren’t there, so I came out to take a look.” She glanced at the coffee table. There was a half-finished bottle of red wine, a goblet, and several cigarette butts in the ashtray.
“You didn’t eat much at night. Drinking so much now will hurt your stomach.” Meng Nianyao got up and was about to go to the kitchen to make him a bowl of clear broth noodle soup to warm his stomach when Gu Wencheng stopped her.” Okay, 1 won’t drink anymore. Don’t be busy.” He pushed the glass to the side, as if to prove that he really did not want to drink anymore.
Meng Nianyao sat back down on the sofa and looked at Gu Wencheng. He had been worried about Grandma Gu’s health for the past few days and had become dispirited. He didn’t even have time to shave his stubble. Perhaps, other than Grandma Gu, he also had to worry about his parents. His mother had a lot of opinions about her.
“I’m sorry. Did 1 make things difficult for you?” Meng Nianyao suddenly asked. His relationship with his parents was not good to begin with, and she had aggravated the conflict between them.
“Don’t think too much.” Gu Wencheng knocked Meng Nianyao on the head. “It has nothing to do with you. 1 married you and didn’t handle the family matters well, so it’s my fault. 1 made you suffer when facing my mother today.”
Meng Nianyao shook her head. Perhaps she felt a little wronged, but she could understand. After all, Gu Wencheng’s identity and family background were there, while she was just an orphan and had an abnormal marriage. It was normal for Gu Wencheng’s mother to be dissatisfied with these conditions.
Gu Wencheng saw through Meng Nianyao’s thoughts and suddenly hugged her.” Mrs. Gu, you don’t have to suffer because of me. You’re not worse than others. It’s their problem that they can’t see your good points.”
Meng Nianyao was amused by Gu Wencheng’s words.
Under the moonlight, Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng sat together, chatting and listening to Gu Wencheng talk about the interesting things he had done with his grandparents when he was young. Slowly, she fell asleep. Gu Wencheng looked down at her and gently kissed her forehead.
The next morning, Meng Nianyao woke up and stretched. Gu Wencheng was no longer beside the bed and there was a faint sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Meng Nianyao held her face. She couldn’t remember when the conversation ended last night or how she got back to bed. However, she didn’t forget the faint and intimate feeling then.
She and Gu Wencheng seemed to be getting closer and closer. The impression of the cold, aloof, and otherworldly President Gu that she had first met was slowly fading from her mind. On the contrary, the image of her husband became more and more vivid in her mind.
Meng Nianyao liked this change..
