“······” There was no point in continuing the conversation.
“I told you not to get involved with him again, didn’t I? What, do you still want to make headlines like last time? Don’t you think that was embarrassing enough?” The teasing voice lingered in the air, carrying a hint of bitterness.
“I already said I’m not going. Who knew they would come and block me?”
“Well, you should have made it clear earlier!”
“What’s there to say? Would you believe me if I did?”
“······” Stumped by her words, he let out a cold snort, his hands instinctively tightening around the steering wheel.
This unfamiliar concern was something he had never experienced before; he even hated the way Xue Yiyang looked at her, wishing he could gouge out his eyes!
However, when it came to dealing with a rival in love, he despised using such methods.
Upon returning to Gu Family Villa, Green Qi greeted the busy Gu Fengchen in the kitchen before heading back to his room, leaving the person behind sitting idly in the living room.
With a casual glance at the figure running upstairs, Jiang Chengmu smiled and decided not to hold it against her. He took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and turned back to help in the kitchen.
Gu Fengchen rarely had time to relax throughout the year, but he was extremely fond of this Precious Daughter. Whenever he had time, he would personally cook for her.
As for Gu Lvq Qi’s nouveau riche father, Jiang Chengmu felt indifferent—neither hating nor liking him.
"Dad, let me help you!" Stepping into the spacious kitchen, Jiang Chengmu looked at the busy figure and reached out to help wash the vegetables.
"No need, the kitchen is too smoky. Just wait in the living room!" Gu Fengchen glanced at him. "Where's Qiqi?"
His hands paused slightly as he washed the vegetables. He looked up at Gu Fengchen. "Qiqi went back to her room to rest. She's been very busy with work lately and hasn't had a good rest. I'll go call her down for dinner later."
After saying this excuse multiple times, it could easily become convincing. Even if they had argued before coming home, they still had to maintain the facade of their nominal marriage in front of both sets of parents.
"I've been really busy lately and haven't had time to take care of her. Jiang Chengmu, that girl Qiqi may have a bit of a temper, but you two are married. If she really does something wrong, you should give her a chance to correct it. You'll have to take care of her in the future."
"Got it, Dad."
Gu Fengchen took the washed vegetables from his hands and looked at him. "I'll handle this; you go upstairs and keep that girl company! Dinner will be ready soon."
"Okay..." Jiang Chengmu didn't say much more, dried his hands, and turned to go upstairs.
The door was not closed; he pushed it open and walked in, glancing down at the pink linen slippers beside the wool blanket before taking off his shoes and stepping inside.
Green Qi's bedroom was connected to her study for her convenience when working late into the night.
Glancing around the spacious bedroom, he finally spotted her sleeping figure on the tatami mat in the study, hugging a pillow. Walking softly on the plush carpet, he gently approached and sat down beside her.
Her delicate profile rested against her Teddy Bear, and the dim light filtered in from outside, casting a soft glow on her face.
He suddenly felt that this moment was serene and beautiful.
After being married for so long, he had never seen her sleeping face so peaceful; even when they were forced to sleep in the same room, she remained on high alert around him.
This kind of tranquility was something he had never experienced in his previously chaotic life. Not only did he not find it unpleasant, but he even found it somewhat enjoyable.
Or perhaps it was because it was her that made him feel this way.
