Ch 77: What Do I Do Now That I Like This Man?
Song Xue didn’t want to admit that Shen Mingyue was more excellent than herself, and expressed her suspicions in front of her mother.
Mother Song thought so too.
“You’re right, the Gu Family is capable, this little matter is easy for them, you can go and inquire later, mainly, Mom doesn’t understand this aspect either.”
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, becoming even more convinced that Shen Mingyue was up to something, and Song Xue couldn’t wait to expose her.
Gu Yuanzhou hated fabrication the most; if he knew that Shen Mingyue used the back door to become a teacher, he would probably dislike her very much.
Shen Mingyue didn’t know that she had already been noticed by the Song family. At this moment, she was playing with Nannan. She had been too busy recently and had somewhat neglected her child, and Shen Mingyue felt a little guilty.
However, now Nannan has so many people who love her, and her personality is getting better and better. Even though Shen Mingyue’s love for her is not as much as before, she is still becoming more and more cheerful.
Wang Cuie was overjoyed, constantly circling around her daughter, and even thought to herself, if Shen Fuzhu were a competent father, how happy he would be if she told him this news.
Unfortunately, in that home, no one truly cared about Shen Mingyue.
Speaking of which, she had been staying at the Gu family for several days, and Shen Fuzhu hadn’t come to look for her. It seemed that he had already left her and gone back.
Thinking of this, Wang Cuie felt a little sad. After all, at that time, she was penniless, and Shen Fuzhu didn’t care about her life or death at all. Thankfully, her daughter was filial and took her back home.
After playing with Nannan for a while and applying medicine for her mother, Shen Mingyue returned to her room. Gu Yuanzhou was sitting on the sofa wearing a white tank top, his bangs still wet, looking like he had just taken a shower.
Seeing her come in, he patted the seat beside him.
“Come here, I have a gift for you.”
Hearing that there was a gift, Shen Mingyue also became interested and quickly sat next to Gu Yuanzhou.
“What gift?”
Gu Yuanzhou took out an exquisite small box from behind. “Open it and see, do you like it?”
Shen Mingyue slowly opened the box and found a pearl necklace inside. Each pearl was very round, clearly carefully selected.
The pearl necklace would look pretty with a dress and was quite suitable for her.
She held it up and tried it on her neck. “Beautiful, I like it.”
Seeing this, Gu Yuanzhou imperceptibly breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad you like it.”
Shen Mingyue put the necklace back in the box and suddenly realized something was wrong. How did a man like Gu Yuanzhou know to buy a pearl necklace? It was a bit suspicious.
She felt that he didn’t understand romance and was quite straight.
“Where did you buy this necklace? How did you know that female comrades would find this pretty?”
Hearing Shen Mingyue ask this, Gu Yuanzhou became uncomfortable.
“I asked a colleague…”
Actually, when Shen Mingyue said she was going to apply for a position at the school yesterday, he had already guessed the result. Shen Mingyue was more excellent than he had imagined, and there was a high probability that she would be hired.
As her husband, he should give her a proper reward and compensate her for what he should.
But he didn’t know what girls liked, so when he wasn’t busy, he asked a few female colleagues in the same department, and finally decided to buy a necklace.
However, after asking, the female colleagues in the department teased him a lot, which made Gu Yuanzhou feel embarrassed.
Learning that Gu Yuanzhou cared so much about her, Shen Mingyue’s heart began to accelerate.
She really couldn’t understand. Although she wasn’t bad, it wasn’t to the point where Gu Yuanzhou would treat her so differently.
Moreover, from the beginning, Gu Yuanzhou’s attitude towards her had been very good, a kindness that didn’t seem to be because of Gu Hongbin, but was directed at her.
Anyway, she had that intuition.
Being favored by such an excellent man, which woman could resist? Even if Shen Mingyue wasn’t a love-brained woman, she was also madly moved by Gu Yuanzhou.
Before, she had planned to use the Gu family to stabilize her position, then get rid of the child, and find a chance to run away, but now she didn’t have that idea anymore.
Because she found that life was quite comfortable now. Every day after getting off work, she could spend time alone with Gu Yuanzhou. Although there were no particularly intimate actions, she was still very much looking forward to it in her heart.
She must have started to like him, right?
Some people say that there is no such thing as unprovoked love, and the process of love is gradual, but Shen Mingyue didn’t think so. Sometimes, developing feelings doesn’t take much time; if you feel it, you’ll be hooked very quickly.
For example, if a stunningly handsome man suddenly appears in your life, rich, handsome, gentle, considerate, not fickle, with his eyes full of you, who could resist that?
She was facing this situation now.
Thinking of this, Shen Mingyue simply gave up and decided to take things one step at a time.
Even if she divorced Gu Yuanzhou, could she find a better man than him? Not necessarily.
So why divorce? If there are feelings, just live your life, right?
Shen Mingyue wasn’t a particularly troubled person, nor did she want to whine unnecessarily and insist on playing the independent woman of the 21st century.
But the situation is a bit complicated now. Although she wants to live with Gu Yuanzhou, her innocence wasn’t given to Gu Hongbin, but was taken by a stranger in a guesthouse.
The identity of the child in her belly is even more embarrassing.
Gu Yuanzhou is so good, if he finds out the truth later, will he still treat her the same way?
The answer is no. No man could accept this.
Shen Mingyue had even mustered her courage many times to tell Gu Yuanzhou the truth, but every time she got to the point of speaking, she swallowed her words back.
If she said this, not only would the entire Gu family be disappointed in her, but Gu Yuanzhou’s kindness towards her might also be withdrawn. She didn’t want that.
People are selfish. Their first reaction is to instinctively protect themselves.
Seeing Shen Mingyue frowning and sighing, Gu Yuanzhou was curious.
“Mingyue, what are you thinking about?”
Shen Mingyue suddenly came to her senses, a few flustered expressions appeared on her face, and she smiled and shook her head.
“Nothing, just thinking about things.”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at Shen Mingyue and was also worried.
He was also thinking about when to have a showdown with Shen Mingyue. He couldn’t keep Shen Mingyue in the dark about what happened in the guesthouse that night.
Both of them collected their thoughts and began their study session. Two hours later, Gu Yuanzhou closed the book, and the two of them went to bed.
Shen Mingyue was sleepless tonight. She wanted to chat with Gu Yuanzhou for a while. Since she realized that she had feelings for this man, Shen Mingyue wanted to understand his past.
Gu Yuanzhou also showed his attitude and answered her questions softly.
“I have a question for you. If one day you discover that someone has deceived you, but this person is also very important to you, would you forgive them?”
Shen Mingyue swallowed, carefully asking.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t answer immediately, pondering for a few seconds before saying, “It depends on what kind of deception it is. If it crosses the line, then there can be no compromise.”
Shen Mingyue’s heart sank immediately upon hearing this.
At this time, Gu Yuanzhou also hesitated to speak.
“Mingyue, I’m actually curious, you have such a cheerful personality, do you have anyone you particularly hate?”
