Ch 85: Husband, Do You Know How To Show Affection?
“Tomorrow I’m going to your workplace. Your dormitory has a kitchen, right? I’ll cook a few dishes; you can ask your colleagues to come over and eat.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t understand, “Then what?”
“Then you call Song Xue over too.”
Gu Yuanzhou was even more puzzled. Could it be that she wanted to beat Song Xue up in front of everyone? At this thought, his heart sank.
“Why call her over?”
“That’s of course to annoy her. Tomorrow your task is to show affection with me, let her see.”
What does Song Xue hate most? Isn’t it that they are a couple? She also can’t stand Gu Yuanzhou’s meticulous care for her, a country bumpkin.
Seeing them so affectionate, she’ll probably be mad.
Shen Mingyue’s revenge is like this: the more the other party cares about something, the more she wants to destroy it.
This task was undoubtedly arduous for Gu Yuanzhou. He had been single for more than twenty years and had never dated. The only woman he had contact with was Shen Mingyue, and they got married directly. To ask him to show affection—he didn’t know how…
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s serious expression, Shen Mingyue had a bad premonition.
“You don’t know how to show affection, do you?”
Gu Yuanzhou felt a little shameful, but he really didn’t know how. He hesitantly nodded.
“Not really.”
Shen Mingyue, exasperated, gave several examples, such as picking up food for her, and if the soup was too hot, he should help her blow on it.
In front of Song Xue, do some intimate gestures; these are enough to make Song Xue furious.
Doesn’t Song Xue think she’s not good enough for Gu Yuanzhou? Then let her see how much he cherishes her.
After Shen Mingyue finished speaking, she noticed Gu Yuanzhou’s face was a little red.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Shen Mingyue said as she reached out to touch his forehead.
Gu Yuanzhou was utterly embarrassed. Just thinking about the tasks Shen Mingyue had assigned him gave him a headache.
Doing this in front of outsiders would damage his image.
Image aside, the key is that he had never done this before. How could this task feel harder than persuading someone at the negotiating table?
“Nothing, a little hot.”
Shen Mingyue said “Oh,” and went to turn the fan towards Gu Yuanzhou.
“Is it cooler now?”
“Cooler.”
After that, the two of them went back to their unwavering study session.
While reading, Shen Mingyue couldn’t help but laugh. Other couples at night would be intimate and do things couples do.
They, as a couple, spend every night studying and learning; it’s really unique.
The next day, Shen Mingyue dressed up like a flamboyant peacock. Before noon, she went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and started getting busy after entering the dormitory.
Gu Yuanzhou had already notified a few colleagues he had a good relationship with. Upon learning that Gu Yuanzhou’s wife was personally cooking for them, everyone was looking forward to it.
They weren’t very familiar with Shen Mingyue, having only met her once. Now that they were eating together, they could get to know her better.
They weren’t particularly curious about Shen Mingyue, but because she was Gu Yuanzhou’s wife. What kind of person is Gu Yuanzhou? He’s the unattainable flower of their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I don’t dare to boast, but among the girls in this ministry, at least half are interested in him.
And such an excellent person ended up marrying a girl from the countryside, his older brother’s former wife.
Everyone has a curious mentality and naturally wanted to join the excitement.
Song Xue didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to take the initiative to find her in the Translation Department. When Gu Yuanzhou called her out of the office, Song Xue’s face turned red, and she looked at him expectantly.
“What’s wrong? Counselor Gu, do you need something?”
Looking at Song Xue, Gu Yuanzhou felt a mix of emotions. Before, Song Xue was innocent and cute, just like a younger sister. He never imagined that in just a few years, she had become so scheming and malicious.
“A few colleagues are eating at my place at noon; do you want to come?”
Song Xue’s eyes widened, “The dormitory?”
Gu Yuanzhou nodded, “Yes, the dormitory.”
Song Xue naturally wouldn’t refuse, wondering if Shen Mingyue had been dismissed from school, and Gu Yuanzhou was angry and wanted to mend their relationship?
“Yes, I’ll go. I don’t know what to eat at noon anyway. I’ll come over after work!”
Gu Yuanzhou nodded and left.
Song Xue watched Gu Yuanzhou’s back view; the smile on her face never stopped.
Her colleague saw how happy she was and couldn’t help but ask.
“Song Xue, why are you so happy? What did Counselor Gu want?”
Song Xue said proudly, “He invited me to eat at his dormitory.”
The girl’s eyes widened, “Isn’t Counselor Gu married? It’s not appropriate for him to invite you to his home for a meal alone, right?”
Song Xue rolled her eyes, “Don’t you use your brain? A woman like that isn’t worthy of Comrade Gu. They’ll divorce sooner or later. Besides, it’s not just the two of us; there are other colleagues.”
The girl listened, full of envy.
“I really envy you, growing up with Counselor Gu since childhood, having such a good relationship, and even able to have dinner together. Look at us, we don’t even have a chance to meet him.”
Even though Gu Yuanzhou was already married, many young girls in the workplace still admired him and tried to find opportunities to talk to him.
“That’s for sure. After all, they are childhood sweethearts; their relationship must be great.”
At this time, Song Xue didn’t know that Shen Mingyue was also at the lunch gathering.
When she got off work, she specifically borrowed lipstick from a colleague and carefully dressed up.
No matter what, this was a good sign. Since Gu Yuanzhou got married, he had almost drawn a line between them.
Since he had taken the initiative to invite her today, she naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.
At this time, Shen Mingyue had already prepared a table of dishes, delicious and fragrant, making people’s mouths water.
Gu Yuanzhou brought in several colleagues. Seeing the full table of dishes and Shen Mingyue sitting quietly beside them waiting, the scene was heartwarming.
Several male colleagues couldn’t help but look at Shen Mingyue a few more times.
Beautiful, really beautiful. She’s so pretty.
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you to have such culinary skills. It looks delicious; we’re in for a treat today.”
That was Xiao Zhou, who had graduated from university not long ago and studied under Gu Yuanzhou. He is now a third-class secretary and is quite outgoing.
“My culinary skills are not very good; I’m making a fool of myself. Since everyone is here, I’ll serve the rice. I didn’t serve it earlier for fear that it would get cold.”
Shen Mingyue said, getting up and going into the kitchen.
At this time, Song Xue arrived, a little late because she had been dressing up.
She knocked on the door, and Gu Yuanzhou opened it, exchanging a few pleasantries.
After Song Xue entered and saw Gu Yuanzhou’s colleagues, she greeted them familiarly.
She thought the dishes were bought by Gu Yuanzhou and didn’t expect Shen Mingyue to be serving rice in the kitchen.
