Ch 104: I’ll Fall For Her Sooner Or Later
“What’s wrong? Still unhappy?”
Gu Yuanzhou thought Shen Mingyue was still unhappy about what happened just now, so he softened his tone.
“No, I’ll read. There are three days left, I’ll try not to shame you.”
Shen Mingyue let out a long sigh, thinking, one step at a time, everything will work out. Thinking so much now is useless.
Before, she wanted to have the baby aborted, but now she no longer has this idea. Because they are twins, her abdomen is slowly bulging, and she feels the two little lives in her belly, Shen Mingyue is not entirely untouched.
If it was early pregnancy, she would have had an abortion; the baby wasn’t formed yet, and she could have been ruthless. But now it’s been several months, and having surgery now is too cruel.
In the worst case, she will have a showdown with Gu Yuanzhou later. If he doesn’t accept it, she will leave with the two children.
Gu Yuanzhou clearly noticed that Shen Mingyue’s mood was wrong. After reading, he lay on the bed and comforted her a few words.
But this didn’t improve Shen Mingyue’s mood.
Late at night, Gu Yuanzhou was already asleep, Shen Mingyue couldn’t help but turn around and stare at the man in front of her.
After a long while, she slowly reached out and rubbed against the man’s chin, then closed her eyes.
In the darkness, Gu Yuanzhou opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
The next morning, when he saw Zhou Xiaofei in the courtyard, Gu Yuanzhou stopped her directly.
Zhou Xiaofei’s heart stirred. Since the last incident, Gu Yuanzhou had hardly spoken to her. Now, hearing Second Brother take the initiative to call her, Zhou Xiaofei felt both happy and apprehensive.
“Second Brother, do you need something?”
Zhou Xiaofei jogged over with a sweet smile on her face.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhou frowned, “Xiaofei, I know you don’t like your second sister-in-law, nor her family, but since I’ve already gotten my marriage certificate with her, she is my wife. I will not allow anyone to harm her or her family. You are a smart girl, you should understand what I mean.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s expression was indifferent, as if Zhou Xiaofei was a stranger.
Zhou Xiaofei felt a bang in her head. Being lectured by Gu Jianjun and the others, Zhou Xiaofei wouldn’t take it to heart because she knew that even if she had done something wrong, the couple wouldn’t do anything to her considering their many years of relationship.
But she couldn’t bear Gu Yuanzhou lecturing her. She came to the Gu family when she was fifteen and has been with Gu Yuanzhou for almost ten years. Even if Gu Yuanzhou always treated her as a sister, they still shared many years of sibling affection.
But how long has Shen Mingyue been in this family? Only two months, and Gu Yuanzhou is so good to her. Is she not as good as an outsider?
In an instant, she felt like a joke.
“Second Brother, do you like her?”
Zhou Xiaofei’s eyes were filled with tears, her gaze fixed on Gu Yuanzhou. She didn’t believe that Gu Yuanzhou was such a superficial person. Shen Mingyue is beautiful, but there are many beautiful female comrades. Before, Gu Yuanzhou never showed any interest.
Song Xue is very pretty. Before, the art troupe wanted to recruit her. Song Xue liked Gu Yuanzhou even before her, chasing after him since she was seven or eight years old.
But for so many years, Gu Yuanzhou never had feelings for her.
Why Shen Mingyue? To put it bluntly, she’s second-hand goods, already slept with by other men, and pregnant with someone else’s child.
Although it’s her own brother’s, she just feels annoyed thinking about it.
Zhou Xiaofei’s question silenced Gu Yuanzhou for a moment. Does he like Shen Mingyue? To be honest, he wasn’t sure.
After learning that Shen Mingyue was the girl from that night, his first reaction was that he had to take responsibility for her.
The two have always treated each other with respect, but recently the situation has improved slightly, and there has been more intimacy.
As for liking and love, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t understand. He hadn’t experienced it and didn’t know what level it would be. But he knew that being with Shen Mingyue was quite comfortable, and he was very satisfied with his current marriage.
Shen Mingyue also has many advantages that make him look at her with admiration.
In work, Gu Yuanzhou is hardworking, and Shen Mingyue is the same, so he admires her very much.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou standing there without answering, Zhou Xiaofei burst into tears, a triumphant smile on her face.
“Second Brother, you don’t like her at all. You are with her just to complete a task. I know you feel sorry for Yuanyang, you can’t bear to wrong him, so you reluctantly agreed.”
Gu Yuanzhou interrupted her.
“I don’t know what the point of saying all this is. You know my character. Since we’ve gotten our marriage certificate, I will be with her until the end. Liking, including love, will definitely appear in the long years to come, it’s just a matter of time.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s answer is as rigorous as his personality. He won’t talk nonsense unless he is absolutely certain.
He is slow to warm up. For him, feelings need to be accumulated. From the time he became sensible to now, Shen Mingyue is the only female comrade who has entered his heart. That’s enough.
Zhou Xiaofei’s smile froze on her face, her face drained of color.
So that’s what Gu Yuanzhou thought. He planned to spend his life with Shen Mingyue, even if he doesn’t like her now, he will like her later.
They sleep in the same bed for years, and have their own child in a few years. Can they not develop feelings?
Zhou Xiaofei felt heartbroken. It’s Gu Yuanzhou! Which woman doesn’t want to marry him? Why didn’t she have this opportunity, and Shen Mingyue got it.
“Think carefully about what I said just now. For the sake of family harmony, don’t do those little things anymore.”
After saying that, Gu Yuanzhou went straight into the living room, leaving Zhou Xiaofei standing there dumbfounded.
Unknown to Gu Yuanzhou, Shen Mingyue overheard his conversation with Zhou Xiaofei.
Shen Mingyue also felt a little complicated. She wanted to hear a definite answer from Gu Yuanzhou, but she also knew that a rational person like Gu Yuanzhou wouldn’t easily fall in love with someone.
His words just now were heartwarming enough.
In the long years to come, thinking of those words, Shen Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t know that his conversation with Zhou Xiaofei was overheard by Shen Mingyue. He went back to urge Shen Mingyue to come out for dinner.
During dinner, Shen Mingyue served Gu Yuanzhou twice, and the two looked at each other and smiled, looking very affectionate.
Shen Mingxia watched from the side, her eyes full of envy.
Second Older Sister is so lucky to find such a male comrade as a partner. If she finds a husband who is one-tenth as good as her brother-in-law, she will be content.
After dinner, Shen Mingyue drove her sister to the clothing store.
When they arrived, Bai Jingjing and Cao Shuangxi were already busy. Every morning, they would arrive at the shop first to clean up before opening for business.
Bai Jingjing saw Shen Mingyue bringing in a girl and couldn’t help but ask.
“Sister Mingyue, who is this girl?”
Shen Mingxia doesn’t look like Shen Mingyue, so she didn’t recognize her.
“This is my sister. I brought her here from the countryside yesterday. From now on, she will learn from you and help sell goods in the store.”
