Gu Wencheng was so busy that he almost forgot that he was the one who brought Meng Nianyao to the company. He was stunned when he saw her coming out of the lounge wearing his shirt, then frowned when he saw her exposed legs. He walked directly to her side, picked her up and put her on the bed. “Why are you wearing so little?”
“Gu Wencheng, are you afraid that I’ll get sick again?” Meng Nianyao smiled.
“What else would I worry about? How can you get sick so easily?”
Meng Nianyao smiled. Look, I’ve already turned up the air conditioner. Isn’t that smart?”
Gu Wencheng nodded.
“Mr. Gu, are you in a bad mood?” Meng Nianyao asked as she sized him up.
“No.”
Meng Nianyao wrapped her arms around his neck. “Mr. Gu, you don’t have to pretend in front of me. Be honest.”
Gu Wencheng pursed his lips and didn’t speak.
“Hey. “Meng Nianyao sighed. “Let’s have a chat. Gu Wencheng, do you mind what happened at noon?”
Gu Wencheng didn’t want to talk about this matter. He frowned subconsciously and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Meng Nianyao saw through him and pulled him back. “Gu Wencheng, let’s talk. Don’t hide.”
“About what?”
“Talk about your parents, talk about our future, talk about the conflict between us and your parents.”
Gu Wencheng didn’t like Lin Ping and Gu Guanping. Even though he was almost thirty years old, he still hated his parents as much as he did during puberty. He was disdainful, indifferent, and annoyed with them.
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Gu Wencheng let go of Meng Nianyao’s hand, got up, and walked out.” It’s very late, so we’ll stay here tonight. You should rest first. I still have work to finish.”
“Gu Wencheng! Stop right there!” Meng Nianyao didn’t like to force Gu Wencheng to face problems he didn’t like, but the problem already existed and had to be solved.
“Gu Wencheng, what are you resisting?” Meng Nianyao lifted the blanket and got down. “They’re your parents, and I’m your wife. As a man, you’re also the middleman. If you don’t solve the problem, do you want our relationship to continue to be bad? Or do you want to see Grandpa and Grandma sad because of the conflict? Grandpa and Grandma are old, and all they hope for is family harmony. Running away is not the solution to the problem!”
Gu Wencheng stopped in his tracks. It was not that he had not thought about these questions, but when he saw Lin Ping and Gu Guanping, he could not help but mock and loathe them.
Meng Nianyao walked up to Gu Wencheng and looked up at him. “Mr. Gu, don’t be so angry. Otherwise, I’ll think that the man I married is still a child. He only knows how to throw tantrums.”
“Mrs. Gu, you’re going too far. “Gu Wencheng pinched Meng Nianyao’s face.
Meng Nianyao sighed and hugged Gu Wencheng’s waist. “Well, my husband is a child that’s hard to persuade. If you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you, okay?”
Gu Wencheng didn’t know what to say. Meng Nianyao’s generosity made him blame himself even more. In the end, he hugged Meng Nianyao and said in a muffled voice, “Nianyao, give me a little more time.”
“Alright, I’ll wait. “Meng Nianyao nodded, then let go of Gu Wencheng. She was only wearing a shirt now. Although the air conditioner in the lounge was turned on, it was still a little cold. “It’s so cold. I’m going to get into bed.” With that, she ran to the bed and pulled the blanket over herself.
Gu Wencheng looked at her childish behavior and laughed. She said that he was a child, but he thought that she was the real child. “I’ll get you a cup of hot water to warm yourself up before you sleep.”
By the time Gu Wencheng returned with hot water, Meng Nianyao had already fallen asleep.
Gu Wencheng didn’t wake her up again. He placed the cup on the bed and looked at Meng Nianyao’s sleeping face, deep in thought.
Meng Nianyao had a good sleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already eight o’clock in the morning.
Suddenly, the door of the lounge opened and Gu Wencheng came in with a bag.
Meng Nianyao looked like she was in a daze and didn’t quite know how to react.
“If you don’t wake up, you’ll be late for work.” Gu Wencheng put down his things.
Meng Nianyao shuddered and picked up her phone. It was already past eight!” It’s already so late. Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?!” Her shirt was wrinkled and two buttons on her collar were unbuttoned, revealing a large area of snow-white skin and collarbone.
“Why didn’t I wake you up earlier?” Gu Wencheng walked towards her. Meng Nianyao was looking down for her shoes. “It’s almost time for work. When the secretaries arrive and see me walking out of your lounge, the company will be abuzz with gossip again..”
