Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Qing did not sleep the entire night. When she woke up the next day for breakfast, everyone could see that her dark circles had clearly deepened. Gu Cheng was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you rest well last night?”
Fang Qing looked at Gu Cheng’s face and felt that her dark circles had probably deepened again. However, as she looked on, Fang Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration. This modern marriage was unlike the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker in ancient times. If both of them were unwilling, then this marriage would definitely not happen.
When Fang Qing thought of this, she looked at Gu Cheng’s face and felt more handsome. She started to think about what Gu Cheng’s real wife would look like in the future, but no matter what, it was not like her.
During dinner, Fang Qing poured milk and tore bread for Gu Cheng with extreme hospitality. Gu Cheng saw Fang Qing’s actions, but a sense of panic welled up in his heart.
After the meal, Fang Qing followed him into the car. She did not even drive her own car. Gu Cheng was scared out of his wits. After a while, Fang Qing took out a banana and asked Gu Cheng, “Are you hungry?”
Gu Cheng said helplessly, “Didn’t you just have breakfast?”
Fang Qing changed her words again, “It can promote digestion!”
After a while, she took out a glass of water from somewhere and asked Gu Cheng, “Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”
The air-conditioning in the car was moderate, but Gu Cheng was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After arriving at the company, Fang Qing also changed her usual behavior and followed Gu Cheng to the office.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng asked, “Why didn’t you go to the Secretarial department today?”
Fang Qing thought for a moment and replied, “In order to understand the arrangements of the immediate superior and to carry out the work further.”
In particular, the words ‘immediate superior’ were emphasized very heavily. Gu Cheng seemed to have seen the scene where he used this to pressure Fang Qing, but he could not say a word to refute her.
Gu Cheng finally could not take it anymore. He forced a smile and asked her, “Miss Fang, what’s the matter?”
Fang Qing finally waited for Gu Cheng to speak, but she also forced out a fake smile and looked behind her.
Cheng Zheng, who was behind her, immediately realized that he, the third wheel, was hindering the two of them from communicating with each other. He walked out of the room that he should not be in at the fastest speed as a middle-aged man.
Fang Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief after Cheng Zheng disappeared from the room.
Gu Cheng looked at Fang Qing and could not help but find it funny. “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Fang Qing looked at Gu Cheng and stared at him with a burning gaze. “Gu Cheng, what do you think of me?”
Gu Cheng was instantly stunned when he heard this. It was as if there was something wrong with his nervous reaction. He did not know what sound he should make to answer this question. If Gu Cheng had just drunk water, it would be all over the floor right now.
Just as Gu Cheng slowly came back to his senses and was about to reply, “It’s pretty good,” Fang Qing gave him another beating. “Or rather, what do you think of me as your wife?”
For the first time in nearly thirty years, Gu Cheng felt powerless. His body was no longer his. Even if he tried hard to control it, he was in danger of slipping off the chair.
Fang Qing looked at Gu Cheng’s actions without saying a word, but there was a smirk on her lips. “Looks like you think the same as me.”
What do you mean the same? How is it the same?
Gu Cheng’s brain went blank. He was about to blurt out, “When it’s different,” but he could not bring himself to say it.
Gu Cheng looked at the current Fang Qing and thought of her careful tone just now. He could not help but recall the things he had experienced with her.
Even though he had mistaken her for someone else, he had seen her sleeping peacefully when he first met her, he had been deeply worried about her at the horse farm, and the urgency he had shown when he picked her up on a rainy night was not fake, it was real in his memories.
Putting aside his doubts and dissatisfaction about the origin of this marriage, Fang Qing was indeed the person he was interested in.
If he could not find that girl in this life, what would it be like to live with Fang Qing? Gu Cheng could not help but have a longing in his heart, but he suddenly woke up. Why would he have such irresponsible thoughts? The reason why he accepted Fang Qing was that he could not be with the best choice. What if he found her again?
“How can I face her and Fang Qing then?”
