Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife Chapter 410: Wang Yuting’s Breakdown

Gu Jiaojiao glanced sideways at the man and said with a helpless sigh, "I ant well. I was just afraid you were hungry, so I suggested we eat out."

"Jiaojiao, are you hungry? If you’re hungry, then we’ll go to a restaurant. I’m really not."

Su Shuochi’s voice was low and lodious, like a beautiful chord, and utterly captivating.

"I always thought eating out was better because more people make for a lively atmosphere. But now that you’ve said that, I think eating at ho sounds better, too."

"What kind of atmosphere do you get with a crowd? The most romantic thing is just the two of us eating together."

"Oh, my. The sun must be rising in the west. Since when does a completely clueless guy like you know anything about romance?"

"I honestly don’t know what romance is, heh heh. I just want to be alone with my wife. I really don’t like crowded places."

"Why’s that?" Gu Jiaojiao asked, confused.

"Because no matter where we go, everyone’s eyes are glued to you. I just wish I could blindfold them all."

Gu Jiaojiao glanced sideways at the man speaking so earnestly. What he said was a bit of an exaggeration, but his words truly moved her.

He hadn’t said the word "love" once, yet every word that left his lips made her feel a sincere and ardent love.

This man... it was as if every single strand of his hair was proclaiming his love for her.

Gu Jiaojiao was struck with a mischievous urge to tease him. "Well, I can’t help it if people want to look at in crowded places.

I an, I was just born this beautiful, what can I say? But now that I’m married to Su Shuochi, I don’t even have the freedom to flash one of my devastatingly charming smiles. Tsk, tsk..."

"Are you unhappy, dear? It’s all my fault. Let’s go eat out right now.

To be honest, when I said I didn’t want to go, even I felt I was being a bit ridiculous and childish.

But I don’t know what cos over . It’s like my brain gets stuck on one thing, and I just don’t want you to go to crowded places.

I’ve told myself not to be so restrictive, that it would make you feel stifled.

That you should do whatever you want and I promise I won’t hold you back. But sotis I just can’t help it and say things without thinking."

Hearing how much he was blaming himself, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but soften her tone. "There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s good to follow your heart. I like it."

"Really? As long as you don’t mind, dear, that’s all that matters. I want to be by your side every single second, but I’m also afraid you’ll think I have no ambition.

I know we have so much we need to do, so I especially cherish the ti we have alone together.

I don’t filter anything I say to you; it all cos straight from the heart. But then I get anxious afterward, worried you’ll think I’m being childish."

Gu Jiaojiao reached out and ruffled his hair, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "I don’t mind, and I don’t think you’re childish. In fact, it makes really happy."

"Really? You’re the best, dear. Heh heh..." Su Shuochi broke into a goofy grin, making Gu Jiaojiao’s heart flutter.

"The fact that you’re willing to get fussy with shows that you truly see as your lover and soone you can trust. What could possibly make happier?"

Su Shuochi was so moved he was speechless. His wife’s words made his heart soar, and a sweetness like honey filled his chest.

"Think about it. Would you be so comfortable getting fussy like that with anyone else?"

"I wouldn’t," Su Shuochi answered firmly. It was just as his wife said.

’He only acts this way with her because she’s close to him, loves him, and doesn’t treat him like an outsider.’

’That’s why he feels it’s okay to act out a little. With anyone else, he would never speak so unguardedly.’

’He wasn’t crazy. Acting that childishly in front of anyone else would make him look like a madman.’

"See? There you go," Gu Jiaojiao said with a satisfied smile, casually pulling a can of eight-treasure porridge out of her dinsional space.

Su Shuochi had both hands on the steering wheel, but the mont he saw her take out the porridge, he imdiately took it from her, popped the top, and handed it back.

"Since when did you beco so thoughtful?" Gu Jiaojiao asked, blinking as she looked at him with a smile.

Su Shuochi smiled serenely. "This is what I should be doing for you. When you’re with , my wife gets to be a pampered little girl.

Let handle all the chores like opening cans. You shouldn’t have to worry about a thing.

Honestly, from the mont we confessed our feelings for each other, my greatest joy and goal for the rest of my life has been to make you happy."

Gu Jiaojiao gazed at his deep-set eyes, which were brimming with affection. She felt bubbles of joy and tenderness welling up inside her, almost bursting from her chest.

She placed a hand over her heart, then, with a radiant smile, she fed him a spoonful of the eight-treasure porridge.

"Here, you take the first bite. Consider it your reward. Not everyone gets to experience this gentle side of , you know."

"Thank you, darling~" Su Shuochi said, raising an eyebrow with a playful smirk.

"From now on, just be gentle with . I don’t want you being gentle with anyone else. I’ll get jealous."

"Haha, honestly, you..." Gu Jiaojiao blushed as she glared at him, but then she couldn’t help breaking into a laugh.

’She didn’t know why, but just being with him always made her feel so at ease. A warmth would spread through her heart.’

’She didn’t understand it, but her feelings for him were growing more and more profound. It felt as if she could never leave this man.’

But she knew she liked this feeling. "Make my favorite dish when we get ho," she said.

Su Shuochi grinned, nodding enthusiastically. "Of course. When we get ho, I’ll make you so chicken soup and your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

’He’d never imagined he would one day be so wrapped up in one person, so afraid of her suffering the slightest grievance, so scared of her being unhappy.’

’He rembered how it was at the beginning. The first ti he’d t her, she had woken up and started groping him all over. He had been so furious he could have strangled her.’

’But as they spent more ti together, a joy had taken root deep inside him. He liked her more and more, terrified that one day she might just ascend to immortality and disappear.’

’He’d even asked her about it, which earned him countless scoldings. But he never got angry, only more afraid that she would leave him.’

’He had even forgotten how shalessly he had pursued her back then.’

’Only later did he realize it was love. That loving soone so much you can’t escape it would make you so insecure. Thankfully, she didn’t mind...’

But not everyone’s life was so sweet. Take Wang Yuting, for instance, who had been detained for two days.

When she learned that if she insisted on accusing her adoptive father of rape, he would go to prison, she was at a loss.

But if she didn’t press charges, his reputation was already ruined, and he would be dismissed from both his public post and party mbership. Wang Yuting was on the verge of a complete breakdown. This wasn’t the outco she had wanted at all.

All she wanted was to stay in the Imperial City and live a life of wealth and prestige, even though she had always despised her adoptive mother for her stupidity.

But without her adoptive mother’s protection, she could barely survive in the Imperial City. And to make matters worse, Lin Yu wouldn’t let her off the hook either.

Only now was Wang Yuting filled with a regret so bitter it felt like death. Her adoptive mother had once set her up with so many promising and talented young n, but she hadn’t cherished any of those opportunities!
