Chapter 21: I Can Only Show It To You
Gu Wencheng's tongue pried open ng Nianyao's lips and teeth, patrolling and occupying them until a tallic taste lingered between their lips and teeth. He slowly released her. "ng Nianyao, you're quite amazing, having an ambiguous relationship with your ex-husband in front of and even covering up for him."
ng Nianyao was forced to look up at Gu Wencheng, unable to avoid his gaze.
ng Nianyao subconsciously bit her lip. "I didn't."
"No?" If not, why did you speak up for him just now?"
ng Nianyao wasn't good at explaining, and she felt that her relationship with Gu Wencheng wasn't at a point where she could say much. But her silence further fueled Gu Wencheng's anger. He pinched her chin. "Let ask you again."
ng Nianyao winced as his pinch caused her pain. She patted Gu Wencheng's hand. "I just don't want to let him off so easily! I want to see him face the consequences."
Hearing this explanation, Gu Wencheng let go of her chin. He had used too much force, leaving red marks on ng Nianyao's skin.
"I'm sorry."
"Can we go to the hospital now?" ng Nianyao was silent for a mont.
Half an hour later, in the hospital's ergency room, Gu Wencheng received a lecture from the doctor, and ng Nianyao was also addressed. "You're the patient's wife, right?"
ng Nianyao hesitated for a mont before nodding. "Yes."
"Your husband is being reckless, and you're letting him do whatever he wants?" With such a deep and long wound, he didn't take good care of it and was still tornting it. Does he not care about his leg?"
ng Nianyao listened quietly and refrained from arguing.
The doctor sighed and shook his head as he spoke. After disinfecting and bandaging Gu Wencheng's wound, he looked at ng Nianyao. "Take care of your husband this ti. He's being unreasonable. Don't spoil him. Follow the doctor's advice, do you understand?"
ng Nianyao glanced at Gu Wencheng and saw his grim expression. She smiled. "Okay, thank you, doctor."
When they returned to the hotel, it was already early in the morning. ng Nianyao helped Gu Wencheng to the bedroom and went to the bathroom to get a towel. "You can manage with this for tonight. I'll ask Ping Yang to help you bathe tomorrow."
Gu Wencheng, who was wiping his face, stopped. "Mrs. Gu, you're allowing another man to bathe your husband?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course, there's a problem. You're the only one who should see my body."
ng Nianyao was speechless. She turned around and went into the bathroom.
Gu Wencheng watched her go, then suddenly smiled.
ng Nianyao spent a long ti in the bathroom. Eventually, Gu Wencheng said, "Mrs. Gu, are you planning to stay in the bathroom until dawn?"
ng Nianyao stood at the sink, looking at herself in the mirror. She ignored Gu Wencheng and waited for the heat on her face to subside before opening the door and leaving.
Gu Wencheng hadn't fallen asleep yet and was leaning against the headboard, wearing a faint smile. The blush on ng Nianyao's face returned, and she tried to act as if nothing had happened. "You should rest; I'll go get so water."
"Mrs. Gu, don't take too long to drink, or I might worry and co looking for you again." Gu Wencheng reminded her with a teasing tone.
ng Nianyao was speechless. She ignored Gu Wencheng's words and turned to leave the bedroom. She wasn't really thirsty; she just wanted to avoid embarrassnt.
ng Nianyao lingered outside for about half an hour. Gu Wencheng had called her twice in between, so she had no choice but to put down the glass and walk back to the bedroom. Gu Wencheng hadn't slept yet. Seeing her approach, the smile on his face was irritating in ng Nianyao's eyes. She wished she could tell him to stop laughing, but she couldn't. She could only ignore Gu Wencheng, walk to the other side of the bed, and lie down.
The bed was quite large, and ng Nianyao was lying on one side, almost two ters away from Gu Wencheng. After lying down, she turned off the light on her side and closed her eyes.
Gu Wencheng found it amusing to tease ng Nianyao, so he also lay down and faced her. "Mrs. Gu, you're on the verge of falling out of bed. Co closer…" As he spoke, he patted the space between them. "At least two of you can sleep here."
ng Nianyao closed her eyes and didn't move, as if she hadn't heard Gu Wencheng's words.
"Mrs. Gu?" Gu Wencheng called again, but ng Nianyao continued to ignore him. He called again, "Mrs. Gu? Mrs. Gu... I've suddenly realized that you're quite attractive, and it'd be easier to sleep closer to you..."
