Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Chapter 71: The Haunted Mansion



Si Wan quickly indulged herself in the joy of cooking breakfast. Although the ingredients were frugal, they were all she had.

She blended the flavors of three eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and strawberry jam. Another cup of juice was also extracted to go perfectly with the staple.

In particular, she made the breakfast into the shape of a heart. At the sight of her creation, Si Wan nodded with satisfaction.

It was not until she served the breakfast and set the tableware that Gong Siming came over slowly.

At the sight of the breakfast, he was both a little happy and disdainful.

“You just cooked this for me?”

Si Wan already started eating but was instantly annoyed.

“Eat it or not!” Said Si Wan angrily.

Gong Siming coldly watched the woman enjoying her food and then sat down with a frown.

He picked up a portion and observed carefully.

“Is this a peach?”

This rhetorical question almost choked Si Wan. Gong Siming’s eyesight was bad enough, that was obviously a heart!

What an unromantic man! Did it look like a peach? Why didn’t you call it a birthday bun? That would save her a birthday present.

“It is a heart!”

Suppressing her disdain, Si Wan replied patiently and tenderly.

“Oh, it turns out to be your loving heart for me!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Wordplay! Since when did Gong Siming become so cheeky?

Si Wan really didn’t want to start a new day with a bad mood.

She simply buried herself in the food. Nothing short of a chameleon, this man changed his attitude so fast and dramatically.

No one could compare with him in this aspect!

In Si Wan’s heart, Gong Siming was absolutely unique. Without a moment’s pause, he influenced her emotions.

“What are we doing today?”

While eating, Si Wan asked nonchalantly.

Gong Siming was not a romantic person per se. The arrangement in the past few days owed to a reminder from Hua Er. He reported the completion of an amusement park project and inquired about the opening date.

“What are you thinking?”

She was waiting for his inquiry.

“I want to go to the amusement park again. This is the first time I’ve ever been to such a big one. I want to spend another day there.”

Playing for one more day was just an excuse. Si Wan’s real purpose was to check out the spot that she didn’t reach yesterday.

She wondered why Gong Siming pulled her away when she just intended to get in.

Curiosity was like weeds under rocks. It would either be crushed or grow wildly.

Apparently, Si Wan belonged to the latter.

“Okay!”

Replied Gong Siming readily as he always did.

“Will you come?” Asked Si Wan.

“Uh-huh.”

Upon hearing the reply, Si Wan jumped gleefully.

Beside her, Gong Siming gave a beaming smile.

The breakfast was delicious. Si Wan only ate a little while he finished the rest.

She used to regard amusement parks as some kind of a childish existence but now found it fun.

Si Wan wondered if Gong Siming could keep his smile when he knew her desired spot.

The two simply cleaned themselves up.

Favored by Heaven, Si Wan didn’t need much makeup to demonstrate her charm.

Without informing Hua Er, the couple went to the amusement park on foot. Hand in hand, they walked side by side.

When they arrived at the park, Si Wan didn’t head straight to her dream spot.

Instead, she followed the trace of her memory and went all the way to the place she hadn’t reached the night before.

As soon as Gong Siming saw Si Wan heading for that direction, his face became grim.

His gaze looked as scary as an endless abyss of death.

Si Wan simply ignored his look and joyfully pulled him to walk inside.

She had done her research and finally figured out why Gong Siming was reluctant to go. It was the most exciting and thrilling place in the amusement park-The Haunted Mansion.

She could faintly remember what Mr. Ma once told her. When Gong Siming was little, he was often scared by ghost stories and stubbornly refused to admit his fear.

When an idea became obsessive, she would make every effort to attain it.

Now Si Wan was anxious to see Gong Siming’s response when he entered the Haunted Mansion. Such obsessiveness drove Si Wan restless until the man was led in.

A smirk appeared on the face of the beautiful woman. In some aspects, she was congenial to the man by her side.

Gong Siming chose to ignore Si Wan’s efforts. All her means, no matter soft or tough, couldn’t move the man an inch.

Having wasted a lot of energy, Si Wan felt frustrated and instantly slumped to the ground.

Against the dazzling sunlight, she looked pitifully at Gong Siming and cried a river of tears.

Behind furrowed brows, Gong Siming asked with a little sympathy.

“Do you really want to go there?”

Like a docile kitten, Si Wan stuck out her tongue and nodded.

Without further ado, Gong Siming walked straight to the Haunted Mansion.

From the entrance, he looked back and said coldly.

“Follow me.”

Si Wan jumped to her feet, wiped the tears off her face, and caught up.

Grabbing her wet hand, he didn’t show disdain but interlocked their fingers.

“After we get in, no matter what you see, don’t let go of my hand!”

Since her goal had been attained, Si Wan certainly wouldn’t refute but tactfully nodded.

In fact, considering Gong Siming’s strength, Si Wan couldn’t free herself from his grip, unless she was ready to chop that hand off.

Full of excitement, they walked into the Haunted Mansion.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the last drop of wax oil hovering over the candlestick before the candle extinguished. There came a faint sound of teeth grinding from the carved antique windowsills.

Strips of white gauze hung above their heads. Some of them, stained with blood, fluttered restlessly.

Pale lights flickered, gruesome to the eye.

Swallowing hard, Si Wan grasped Gong Siming’s hand.

The game barely started, but Si Wan had already begun to regret it.

As they proceeded, the ambiance got dimmer, and the pale lights seemed to have been imbued with blood.

There came a burst of harsh and terrible cries that sounded like something between laughter and wail. It resounded through the crimson mansion.

Closely leaning against Gong Siming, she didn’t even dare to breathe freely.

“What, are you scared?”

The sudden voice sent shivers down her spine.

Was Gong Siming laughing at her?

Valiantly, she kept a distance from Gong Siming but grasped his hand more tightly to the point that it was almost out of shape.

At the sight of Si Wan’s childish behavior, Gong Siming didn’t blame her but gave a faint smile.

Suddenly, a pair of huge spectral eyes twinkling approached them.

It even purred in a diminishing pitch. There was also a hint of harshness that sounded like cats’ squealing. In an instant, Si Wan drew back to Gong Siming.

Now the huge green eyes kept getting closer!

“Ah…”

A scream resounded through the Haunted Mansion!
