Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Weilai had uttered those words inadvertently. She had always put up with things in front of Gu Yu. And she had got used to being careful around him. Even though she had become a little bit cheeky again during this period, mainly, it was when things between them were excellent; it was just good fun.

But now, she didn’t want Gu Yu to see how pale she was. And the sour expression she had on her face had led to her voicing her refusal, asking him to stop him. But, she still couldn’t completely control her emotions.

Yes, Xu Weilai didn’t want to let him touch her!

If Gu Yu liked another woman so much, and if he still cared about the person on his mind, then he shouldn’t show Xe Weilai any care or concern. He shouldn’t bother with her, he shouldn’t be so gentle with her, and he shouldn’t be so kind to her. And above all, he shouldn’t give the impression that he genuinely liked her.

What does it mean, thinking about another woman the same time he was kind to her? Does he think he was a saint?

She preferred things would go back to being as they were before. She’d probably feel better if Gu Yu was cold to her and ignored her. If he didn’t like her, then don’t give her any hope. Then, she’d be able to shield her heart and not indulge in wishful thinking.

The more Xu Weilai thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Nothing could make her more upset. She felt like she was choking. Every part of her body felt uncomfortable. She didn’t wish to look at Gu Yu. She turned around on the bed, her back facing him.

Xu Weilai could feel Gu Yu’s eyes on her, as they turned more and more gloomy. Perhaps her insolence had upset him again, but she didn’t want to be concerned about Gu Yu or his feelings now.

She had always cared about how he felt. But what about her, who cared about how she felt?

Everything that she had seen on that day, everything she had heard, every scene, every word, felt like a knife plunging into her chest. Frankly, she wasn’t afraid of being disappointed. But she worried that what she had thought she had regained after losing it was nothing more than a pipe dream. The happiness that ends with nothing was even more painful than being unable to attain something.

Gu Yu didn’t get as angry as Xu Weilai had expected. He remained silent the whole time. In the end, he got up and pulled the blanket over her.

And that simple act broke a dam. Tears streamed down Xu Weilai’s face uncontrollably after she had been trying to hold them back the entire time.

Gu Yu strode out of the bedroom, softly closing the door behind him.

Confusion and incomprehension clouded his usually indifferent eyes. Xu Weilai’s refusal to let him touch her had affected him. It was as if they had reverted to the times when their relationship was sour.

Why did she become like this all of a sudden?

In recent times, they had gradually become closer to each other again. Xu Weilai’s attitude towards him had also turned progressively better. If not, she wouldn’t have been willing to allow him back to sleep on the bed.

Everything was fine.

Gu Yu rubbed his knitted brows as he walked into the study. He picked up his phone that he had left on the coffee table, and called Xu Shuai.

Just as the other line was about to be cut automatically, Xu Shuai answered the call. His voice clearly showing displeasure, “Look, Young Master Gu, could you please take note of the time when you call me the next time? It’s the middle of the night; even if you aren’t hugging your wife to sleep, don’t keep me up from doing the same!”

Gu Yu didn’t pay any attention at all to his words, and went straight to the matter, “I have a question for you.”

What more could Xu Shuai say? Gu Yu was a bro who he had acknowledged himself; he’d have to accept him even if he was on his knees.

Xu Shuai shoved the woman in his arms. Leaning back against the headboard, he lit a cigarette, blowing out wisps of smoke, “I’m all ears.”

After hearing out Gu Yu, Xu Shuai gave it some thought before replying, “When a woman’s mood changes suddenly, and you haven’t done anything to anger her, there’s only one possibility for it!”
