Chapter 16: Aunt and Brother-in-law Are Not on Good Terms
Proofread by Peter Gong
Though he is brave, Gu Lang doesn’t want to oppose her in the face of Gu Zechen.
Thinking of Gu Zechen’s black face, Gu Lang cannot help shivering.
Besides, he did see Gu Zechen before. So he says again, “Su Ni…”
Perceiving the gloomy gaze, Gu Lang quickly changes his words. “Aunt, did you quarrel with my uncle?”
“No.”
Su Ni answers simply and decisively.
“But, why do I feel that both of you are weird?”
“You are so curious. Why not ask your uncle directly? I don’t provide gossip here.”
Su Ni says, flicking the folds on her clothes. Although her face is expressionless, her body exudes the aura that drives others away from her.
Gu Lang answers with a click of his tongue again. Uncle’s woman should have such a cold aura. It is true.
After that, it is quiet.
It is nearly ten o’clock when they get home. An Rong sleeps early in daily life, leaving only two servants to guard the living room.
“Madam is back.”
She nods, watching the second floor, which is still dark because lights are not turned on. She asks frankly, “Is Gu Zechen back?”
The servant shakes his head and watches Su Ni’s face cautiously.
Su Ni smiles and says nothing. Because Gu Zechen is not at home, her pace is much lighter.
In the middle of the night, Su Ni is awakened by the noise.
After careful listening, she finds that Gu Zechen is back.
Su Ni looks at the watch. Um, 2:30, does he still know to come back?
It is a coincidence that An Rong discovers that when she goes to bathroom. Now, they are quarreling unhappily downstairs.
An Rong always blames Gu Zechen for he stays out late and ignores Su Ni and the whole family. Gu Zechen occasionally answers with one or two words. He is also extremely tired.
“Son, I know that you still think about that woman, but you should put it down after so many years.”
“If it weren’t you, how could Waner have a car accident? Mom, I will not forget this.”
Gu Zechen’s tone becomes cold, and he interrupts An Rong’s persuasion without any politeness.
Su Ni twists the quilt with her hands, and her body curls up tightly into a ball.
A year ago, she came to Gu’s family. At that time, Xu Waner had a car accident. From then on, Gu Zechen began staying out late. With time going by, she gets used to it.
“I know that you are still blaming me. But Su Ni is innocent, why can’t you treat her better?”
“Son!”
Afterwards, there come light and rhythmic footsteps. Gu Zechen is going upstairs. An Rong shouts a few times from the back and but GuZechen does not stop.
Su Ni quickly closes her eyes, pretending to sleep.
“Since you dare to force me to marry you, no one is innocent.”
After his words, the door is opened, and Su Ni’s heart is lifted up.
The last sentence is told by him deliberately.
The man does not stop, and rushes to Su Ni directly in the darkness. He suddenly opens the quilt and pulls Su Ni up.
Su Ni is shocked, squinting, half-dreaming and staring at him. She shouts with dissatisfaction, “Gu Zechen, what are you doing now? Don’t you let me sleep?”
“Don’t think that I don’t know you are already awake. Besides, you dare file my suit. Good job.”
“What?”
Su Ni is completely awake, and she cannot see his face in the dark. However, she can still feel the gloomy aura from the bottom of his eyes.
“Good acting skill!”
Gu Zechen pushes her. Su Ni falls onto the bed, feeling dizzy.
Someone knocks at the door.
Su Ni holds her breath and Gu Zechen no longer speaks. The air is quiet and terrible.
A few seconds later, Su Ni shouts to the door, “Mom, we are fine. You should go
to bed early.”
“Then you also have a rest early.”
An Rong is still worried about two them, and waits for a few minutes near the door. Making sure that it is quiet, and then she leaves.
Su Ni looks at the black shadow lying next to her, whose heartbeat is rapid. It is a little annoying. She says coldly, “Mom has gone, you can get up.”
Gu Zechen pretends to miss her words and does not move. Until Su Ni pushes him, Gu Zechen catches her hand and warns her with a low voice, “Su Ni, I advise you to be honest. Do not do these things. Don’t you want me to come back? Well, I satisfy you now!”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
After that, he turns over and presses Su Ni under his body directly, and his hands are groping her.
Su Ni is angry and annoyed. While she curls her legs, Gu Zechen presses her in advance. Su Ni looks at him with grievances, “You know, my body is still not good, and I believe you don’t want me to faint again.”
Gu Zechen’s head is stunned, remembering Xiao Ming’s warning.
“Because it is your duty as Mrs. Gu.”
Though he says that, Gu Zechen does not take the next step.
Su Ni has no words to refute, but her body is really unable to withstand his torture.
However, she cannot tell him, the culprit.
With a bang, Su Ni turns on the light.
Su Ni does not prevent his body from approaching, and hugs him tightly and closes her eyes, “I know I can’t stop you, but you should care about your mother…”
Ah!
When she mentions An Rong, the anger in Gu Zechen’s eyes appears again. “Su Ni, do you think that my mother is here and you have more confidence opposing me?”
“At least, this marriage is inseparable.”
Seeing that this man does not act rudely as usual, Su Ni becomes much braver. Her hands clasp his arms and murmurs softly, “Hey, think about what you did tonight. Who has gone too far?”
“Oh, I am coming back to compensate you. Su Ni, what do you want?”
Gu Zechen sneers.
Su Ni takes a deep breath and her chest heaves up and down. She is awakened by the man in the middle of the night, and has to be insulted by him.
“How? Can’t you tolerate me?”
Gu Zechen continues to spark her anger. He still remembers the woman’s temper when they were just married. This woman was arrogant, and even he was not respected by her.
This year, what happened to her, which changed her temper dramatically?
“I can’t.”
Su Ni complains sadly, “You always say that I go too far. Think about it carefully. Who always asks for a divorce? Who always becomes angry in front of mom? Don’t forget. It is me who maintain the relationship when mom is here.”
“Humph…”
Gu Zechen directly pinches her chin, and it is almost crushed by him. His eyes are full of juggling and teasing, “Su Ni, do you know that you become more annoyed now? Especially, your sharp tongue is really unlikable.”
Just now, he thought that Su Ni would be angry. He didn’t expect this woman to change her temperament. Like a persimmon, she is fooled by him. At last, he turns out to be wrong?
