Ch 138: Shen Mingyue, Are You A Thug?
“What should we do? Should we just ignore it completely?”
Tian Shufang sighed, worried sick. She hadn’t eaten much at dinner tonight. Disappointment was disappointment, but as a mother who had raised her for so many years, she still felt uncomfortable.
Gu Jianjun glanced at his wife. “You don’t need to feel guilty. Our family hasn’t wronged her; on the contrary, we’ve given her a lot of help. If it weren’t for us, could she have become a teacher? Could she have received a good education? She probably would have gotten married and had children long ago. How could she have gotten this far? Now she owes us, not the other way around. We raised her for over a decade, and we don’t expect her to support us in our old age, nor do we expect filial piety from her. Now that she keeps making mistakes, why should you feel guilty?”
Gu Jianjun saw things very clearly, understood the reason, but sometimes he was also soft-hearted.
After saying all this, Tian Shufang immediately felt much better. It was true; it was Zhou Xiaofei who owed them. Why should she feel guilty?
“You’re right. I don’t want to think about it anymore. This daughter is considered a wasted upbringing. Getting rid of her sooner is the right thing to do; otherwise, if something big happens later, we’ll regret it too late.”
Tian Shufang also came to terms with it. Her husband’s words made sense. It was her own choice. When she did bad things, why didn’t she consider the family?
“It’s good that you can think this way. To be honest, Mingyue is a clever girl; she is rather reserved, but she’s capable in all aspects and rather ambitious. After all, she hasn’t been in our family for long, and it takes time to integrate into the family. In the future, Yuanzhou may well depend on her as his wife. We should protect her.”
Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang were polite to Shen Mingyue in public, but only they themselves knew what they really thought.
Tian Shufang was still a little apprehensive after hearing Gu Jianjun say this.
“Jianjun, to be honest with you, I’m still a little afraid of our daughter-in-law. I always feel that she’s a pretty ruthless person. Anyone who offends her will not have a good outcome.”
Gu Jianjun, who had a serious expression, couldn’t help but laugh.
“Your description is quite interesting, but you’re not wrong. This girl holds grudges, but she’s reasonable. If you don’t provoke her, would she still attack you, her mother-in-law?”
The couple chatted back and forth, gossiping privately.
At this moment, Shen Mingyue and Gu Yuanzhou were already lying in bed.
At first, they were both pondering today’s events, both silent. Just as Shen Mingyue was considering how to speak, Gu Yuanzhou beside her laughed.
Although the sound was very soft, Shen Mingyue keenly caught it.
“What are you laughing at?”
The corners of Gu Yuanzhou’s mouth rose, revealing a neat row of white teeth. He looked more childish than usual.
“Nothing, I just think it’s quite funny when I think about it carefully.”
Shen Mingyue gnashed her teeth and twisted his arm.
“You still dare to say that? Because of this matter, I’ve been worried every day, and sometimes I’m so worried that I can’t sleep at night. You clearly know and yet you didn’t tell me. I really don’t know what you were thinking.”
Gu Yuanzhou winced, his brows furrowed. “You woman, you’re so ruthless. Attempted murder?”
Seeing that Gu Yuanzhou still had the mood to joke with her, Shen Mingyue sat up directly.
“It’s your fault for not doing your job properly. I seriously suspect you did it on purpose.”
Gu Yuanzhou propped himself up on his arms, leaning against the bed, looking at Shen Mingyue leisurely. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Before this matter was resolved, there was always a rift between them. Now that the only conflict has been resolved, they can live their lives peacefully in the future.
“I’ve already apologized to you, so don’t hold a grudge against me anymore. Are you satisfied with how this matter was handled?”
Shen Mingyue thought for a moment and nodded. “It’s satisfactory. If you still sided with Zhou Xiaofei, I wouldn’t live with you.”
Gu Yuanzhou reached out, took Shen Mingyue’s small hand in his palm, and played with it idly.
“Everything needs a reason. No matter who it is, everyone is treated equally when they make mistakes. Don’t worry, there will be no exceptions with me.”
Shen Mingyue pouted. “Then what if your father violates discipline? Would you report him?”
Gu Yuanzhou looked up, his expression strange.
“I definitely would report him. Family members should be held to even higher standards.”
Shen Mingyue burst out laughing. This really is a good son.
“What about me? If I make a mistake, will you do the same to me?”
Gu Yuanzhou was immediately stumped. Looking at Shen Mingyue’s hopeful eyes, Gu Yuanzhou directly pulled her into his arms and sighed softly.
“Then I might be partial. After all, you’re different.”
Shen Mingyue couldn’t see Gu Yuanzhou’s face, but her heart was beating wildly. This man never said sweet words, but some words from him were more powerful than love words.
“How am I different?”
Shen Mingyue felt shy and asked in a low voice.
“You are my wife, and the only woman in my life. The meaning is naturally different.”
Gu Yuanzhou always spoke slowly and deliberately, but it sounded so firm, as if everything he said could be done.
The only woman in his life, this phrase held a lot of weight. In Gu Yuanzhou’s mind, there was no divorce, only widowhood.
Shen Mingyue was satisfied. “I know. Then I’ll forgive you. I won’t mind what happened before.”
Gu Yuanzhou reached out and helped Shen Mingyue massage her shoulders.
“Don’t get too tired. Your belly is getting bigger now; you need to take care of your body.”
Shen Mingyue closed her eyes and enjoyed it wholeheartedly. This husband is really good. He always takes her side, and she can even enjoy a private massage at home. It’s worth it.
With Zhou Xiaofei, that troublemaker, gone, they can live peacefully.
Gu Yuanzhou’s massage was so comfortable that Shen Mingyue couldn’t help but let out a few comfortable moans.
A few seconds later, Shen Mingyue felt the rhythm of the massage change, and the breath spraying on her hair became heavier.
This man looks like a celibate old cadre, but his reaction is huge.
Shen Mingyue couldn’t help but think of that night at the guest house. Before, whenever she thought about it, she felt disgusted, almost physically repulsed.
But knowing it was Gu Yuanzhou, that feeling disappeared instantly. Now, when she thinks about it, she imagines Gu Yuanzhou’s face.
Thinking this, Shen Mingyue mischievously moaned a few more times. Gu Yuanzhou felt that he was about to lose control, and he already had a reaction.
Of course, he didn’t want Shen Mingyue to notice, so he quickly took the quilt nearby and covered his legs.
Shen Mingyue secretly smiled and reached into the quilt, deliberately touching Gu Yuanzhou’s leg.
Because of the hot weather, Gu Yuanzhou was only wearing shorts. His legs were bare, and Shen Mingyue’s teasing was too obvious. Gu Yuanzhou couldn’t pretend anymore.
“Behave yourself.”
His voice was low and husky, showing that he was suppressing himself.
“You’re my man. What’s wrong with me touching you? It’s not like I’ll take a piece of flesh away.”
Shen Mingyue was completely unrestrained. She couldn’t tease others, but teasing her own husband wasn’t illegal.
“Don’t do that.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s ears were burning, and his cheeks flushed.
Shen Mingyue’s words were too bold. How could a woman say such things?
Forgive his lack of experience; after all, he was a young man who had never been in a relationship.
Seeing this expression on Gu Yuanzhou’s abstinent and refined face, Shen Mingyue became even more excited.
Her strategy was that if others took a step back, she would take two steps forward.
If Gu Yuanzhou’s face was thicker than hers, she would be embarrassed instead.
Shen Mingyue put her hand on Gu Yuanzhou’s thigh and touched it a few more times. This time, Gu Yuanzhou’s face turned completely red. He grabbed Shen Mingyue’s small hand and squeezed it threateningly.
“It’s not too early. Let’s go to sleep.”
“I don’t want to sleep. I’m not sleepy. We might as well kiss.”
She directly kissed Gu Yuanzhou’s lips.
Gu Yuanzhou felt like he was going crazy. How could this woman be so tempting? If she weren’t pregnant, he would definitely punish her severely.
He wanted to refuse, but facing Shen Mingyue’s advances, he couldn’t bear to. They soon became lost in the moment.
After a while, Gu Yuanzhou took the initiative.
After a while, Shen Mingyue was breathless. The feeling was good; she wanted to go further.
“Yuanzhou, why don’t we try?”
Gu Yuanzhou was stunned and didn’t react for a moment.
“Try what?”
“What do you mean? You know, the things that couples do.”
Gu Yuanzhou was startled and his eyes cleared.
“Don’t be silly. You’re pregnant. How can you do that? This is no child’s play.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t understand these things before, but for Shen Mingyue, he had recently been reading some books on this topic, thinking that after the child was born, he, as a father, would help take care of the child as much as possible.
Shen Mingyue pursed her lips. “It’s actually fine. I’m far along now; we can just take it easy; nothing will happen. You just control yourself…”
The more Shen Mingyue spoke, the more explicit she became, making Gu Yuanzhou blush.
“You woman, don’t have such thoughts. Go to sleep.”
Gu Yuanzhou couldn’t take it anymore, wrapped himself in the quilt, and turned away, ignoring Shen Mingyue.
Shen Mingyue sighed. It seemed they had to wait until after she gave birth and her body had recovered before they could officially be husband and wife.
Having such a handsome man lying next to her every day, but not being able to touch him—it’s certainly frustrating.
Thinking this, she fell asleep after a while.
The next morning, after breakfast, Shen Mingyue drove to school. In her office, she saw Zhou Xiaofei, who looked pale.
Zhou Xiaofei didn’t have much money, so she only had a bowl of porridge in the morning and had to wait until payday.
She was sitting there listlessly. When she saw Shen Mingyue come in, her face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
Shen Mingyue didn’t bother to pay attention to her and started preparing her lesson.
However, halfway through, Shen Mingyue saw Zhou Xiaofei go out with a male teacher.
That male teacher was the one who had quarreled with Zhou Xiaofei before.
He had insulted Zhou Xiaofei after his confession was rejected.
How long had it been? Why were they laughing and talking again?
She found out what happened a little later. It turned out that Zhou Xiaofei had borrowed money from Zhang Zhiyuan, and another female teacher happened to overhear it, causing people to gossip.
