Ch 81: If You Don’t Like Him, Give Him To Me
What could Gu Sisi say to him? Naturally, it was about what had just happened. She had thought Gu Yuanzhou would come and ask her directly, but unexpectedly, he had gone out.
Wang Cuie saw Shen Mingyue looking somewhat absent-minded and couldn’t help but ask.
“What’s wrong, Mingyue?”
Shen Mingyue shook her head. “Nothing.”
At this time, Gu Yuanzhou had already arrived at the Zeng Family’s home. Just as he was about to go in, he saw Zeng Tian coming out.
Zeng Tian did not expect Gu Yuanzhou to appear at their house entrance and was clearly startled.
“Let’s chat over there.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s face showed no expression. He pointed to the alley next to him.
Zeng Tian raised his eyebrows, a smile appearing on his face. It seemed that the relationship between Gu Yuanzhou and Shen Mingyue was not simple.
He didn’t speak and followed a few steps behind Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou saw that there was no one nearby and narrowed his eyes.
“Tell me, what do you mean?”
Zeng Tian used a toothpick to pick at his teeth and spat to the side.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. You harass my newlywed wife whenever you feel like it. Is that something a retired serviceman should do?”
Gu Yuanzhou frowned, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.
Zeng Tian casually threw the toothpick aside.
“Counselor Gu, don’t speak so harshly. How can that be harassment? I was admiring her. I think Comrade Shen is quite excellent and quite to my liking. Anyway, she’s just your wife, forced on you by your family. If you don’t like her, give her to me. I quite like her.”
Zeng Tian looked calm, but his words were shocking.
Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze was sharp, and he stared intently at his eyes. After a long while, he let out a cold laugh: “Who told you I don’t like her?”
Zeng Tian was stunned. This answer was clearly unexpected to him. He had previously thought that a man like Gu Yuanzhou would not fall for any woman. This man only cared about his career, not love.
Unexpectedly, he now said that he liked a woman from the countryside, that woman being his older brother’s former wife. It was too outrageous.
“Is it that you think everything is good as long as I want to compete with you for it?”
On second thought, that was the only reason. Although Shen Mingyue was beautiful, it wasn’t enough to make Gu Yuanzhou fall for her in such a short time.
This guy’s favorite thing was to go against him. Although he wasn’t as arrogant as before in recent years, he still had a stubborn streak in his heart.
“Stay away from my wife in the future, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t bother to waste words with him. This was already a warning.
The reason Zeng Tian dared to do that was because he thought Gu Yuanzhou didn’t care about Shen Mingyue. But how could he not care? Shen Mingyue was the first woman in his life, and she was now carrying his child.
Even if there was no affection between them, there was a deep bond, something that outsiders couldn’t covet.
Especially someone like Zeng Tian. Although he had been a soldier, he was also a military ruffian.
At this moment, Zeng Tian finally realized that Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t joking; he truly cared, which surprised him.
“Are you serious?”
“Absolutely.”
Zeng Tian pursed his lips. “Whether you two can last is another matter. I’ll chase her after you two break up. I can wait.”
Even so, Zeng Tian’s mouth was still foul. If it were someone else, they would have probably beaten him up.
“Have you been inactive for too long, and your hands are itchy?”
In the past, the two of them often fought, back and forth, with wins and losses. But since Gu Yuanzhou turned eighteen, his behavior had become more like an old cadre, and they hadn’t fought for a long time.
Zeng Tian was a top soldier in the military; no one could beat him. But when he fought with Gu Yuanzhou, he never gained any advantage. Gu Yuanzhou looked slender and seemingly weak, but he was very insidious and hit hard in a fight.
“Counselor Gu, are you going to fight with me? If someone sees this, your carefully cultivated image over the years will be gone.”
“It doesn’t matter. Some people’s foul mouths need to be punished.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t give an inch. When facing Zeng Tian, his behavior was a little childish.
The two of them naturally couldn’t fight in the compound. They were both in their twenties; if someone saw them, they would be laughed to death.
After warning Zeng Tian, Gu Yuanzhou went home.
Everyone was already sitting down for dinner when he returned. Shen Mingyue saw him come back and seemed hesitant to speak.
After dinner, back in their room, Shen Mingyue finally spoke.
“Where did you go just now?”
Gu Yuanzhou took off his clothes and changed into shorts. “Guess.”
Shen Mingyue frowned. “How am I supposed to guess where you went? If you don’t want to say, then forget it.”
She went straight to the desk to get a book and read.
Gu Yuanzhou approached, looking at Shen Mingyue’s profile, his heart fluttering.
What if that kid Zeng Tian was serious? He knew Zeng Tian. If he had his eyes on someone, he would try everything to get them.
They were now husband and wife. Zeng Tian had some consideration. But if one day Shen Mingyue knew the truth and didn’t want to be his wife anymore, would Zeng Tian take advantage of the situation?
In the past, Gu Yuanzhou never considered these things or paid attention to them. But since getting married, he had started to worry.
Just as Shen Mingyue was about to speak, Gu Yuanzhou suddenly took her hand.
“Someone was bothering you today, right?”
Shen Mingyue knew it was because of this.
“So you went to see Zeng Tian.”
When she asked, Shen Mingyue felt a little excited. She thought that if Gu Yuanzhou really went to see someone else because of this, did it mean that he cared about her quite a bit?
Gu Yuanzhou nodded. “You are my wife, and now another man is bothering you. I naturally cannot stand idly by.”
Shen Mingyue smiled. “What did you say to him?”
Seeing her smiling and flirting, Gu Yuanzhou’s brows furrowed slightly.
“You seem quite happy?”
Shen Mingyue quickly composed herself. “No, no, I just asked casually.”
Gu Yuanzhou narrowed his eyes, his gaze dangerous.
“Two men are fighting over you. Do you find that funny?”
Shen Mingyue did find it amusing, but she certainly wouldn’t admit it.
“How could I? Do you think I’m that kind of person?”
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou looking at her expectantly, Shen Mingyue suddenly felt that he wasn’t as cold as he seemed. Sometimes, he was quite childish, like now.
So, was he jealous?
Thinking of this, the smile on Shen Mingyue’s face became uncontrollable, and in the end, she giggled.
Gu Yuanzhou’s face inexplicably turned red.
“What are you laughing at?”
Shen Mingyue poked his cheek. “Gu Yuanzhou, are you jealous?”
Now, not only his face was red, but his ears were red too.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be jealous? I just did what I should do. Don’t make random guesses.”
