I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Gu Hui Yan couldn't make heads or tails of his emotions. He was only surprised for a moment, then suppressed his unnecessary change in mood. He wasn't in the habit of commenting whether the deceased was right or not, nor did he wish to bring these things up in front of Lin Wei Xi. His expression didn't change and he calmly changed the subject, "you didn't eat this entire time?"

Lin Wei Xi was sitting opposite him, and she looked up at him, baffled, when she heard his question, "of course. How can I leave you behind and eat by myself? Who does that?"

"Your body is weak so you have to pay attention to your diet. If I get held up by something, you should eat first and not wait for me."

She was a little unhappy and she said softly, "my Prince, you're not sending me away because you don't want to eat together with me, or because I'm bothering you, right?"

Gu Hui Yan frowned. That was simply unimaginable, "why would you think that? I'm just afraid you'll go hungry."

"Then that's fine." Lin Wei Xi snorted lightly and said, "If that's so, then all the more reason to wait for you. I'm your wife. Sleeping and eating together is what a wife does."

Lin Wei Xi's mind was full of thoughts on how to be a qualified wife. Gu Hui Yan felt a little helpless and a tiny spark of peculiarity in his heart. It was common for him to postpone his meal out of habit, as well as being too busy to eat. But at that moment, he understood that it'd be different from now on. If he didn't return, this silly girl would continue waiting for him. Her body was weak and if her meals were irregular, more so she wouldn't be able to take it.

He thoroughly concealed the pounding in his heart. Whenever he faced Lin Wei Xi, he always seemed to be able to relax easily. He smiled unconsciously, "Why are you so obsessed with the word wife?"

Was it not because of Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran. In the heavenly book, Gao Xi was a complete failure when it came to gentleness, bearing heirs, and managing the household. She didn't have a single good aspect when compared to Gao Ran and was basically a counterexample of an outstanding wife. Lin Wei Xi didn't seem to care on the outside, but she actually doubted herself.

That's why she was so obsessed with being a "qualified" wife.

She remembered the heavenly book's assessment of her and somehow thought of Granny Bu's words earlier. The smile on her face disappeared, "It's nothing. I'm just fulfilling my promise. My Prince, you gave in to my wilfulness and married me. I'm endlessly grateful for this and will definitely return the favour many fold. As I said that day, as long as my Prince treats me with the respect owed to the main wife, I will do my utmost to repay you. I can't do anything else except manage and take care of your household. Just treat this as my repayment to you."
