Chapter 14 : The Wicked Man

  • Sulolo was forcibly dragged into the room.
  • She still had an apron tied around her waist, and her long and thick eyelashes blinked. "Second Young Master, what's wrong again?"
  • Again--
  • Was she disgusted with herself?
  • Gu Tingjun sneered. This little girl, so young and yet so beautiful, but underneath that appearance, she had a clever and delicate heart!
  • Especially her indifferent expression, did she look down on him?
  • "Sulolo, what's with that expression on your face?"
  • "..."
  • This Second Young Master is not like the rumors at all. Weren't the rumors saying that he was cold and heartless? Why is he now meddling in everything?
  • Sulolo pushed him away directly, went straight to the bed and made it, and then threw Gu Tingjun's clothes into the washing machine before saying, "Second Young Master, everything is done. The bathwater is ready, you can go take a shower now."
  • After finishing everything, Sulolo went to the bathroom in the living room to wash up.
  • When she came back, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
  • She looked at the spacious room, the walls shining with gold, the floor reflecting light, and she felt extravagant. Her brother was still lying unconscious in the hospital bed.
  • She had to work hard to earn money. One day, she would take her brother and leave this cage.
  • Gu Tingjun came out of the shower wearing only a towel, habitually wiped his head with a towel, and took a step forward.
  • Suddenly, he froze.
  • The girl on the bed had her hair casually scattered, fair skin, but her eyes were filled with sorrow.
  • Gu Tingjun sneered, striding over, "Just because I asked you to wash dishes and clean the floor, you feel wronged?"
  • "I..."
  • "Don't rush to defend yourself."
  • Looking at the girl turning her head away, Gu Tingjun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but quickly returned to normal.
  • He looked down at the petite figure on the bed and warned, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Put away your thoughts." Wanting to be the mistress of the Gu family, she's not qualified.
  • Gu Tingjun suddenly remembered the woman from that night...
  • So stubborn, with clear eyes.
  • Only she was worthy of being his wife.
  • "Second Young Master, let's turn off the lights." Sulolo forced a smile and turned over, not wanting to face Gu Tingjun, but this simple action easily angered him.
  • That expression again.
  • As if she didn't care about anything.
  • Fragile shoulders, slender neck, perfectly unbelievable.
  • Gu Tingjun withdrew his gaze, a hint of indifference on his lips. "Sulolo, what kind of expression is that?"
  • "..."
  • Gu Tingjun continued, "You think I'm not worthy of your work, right? Marrying into the Gu family didn't bring you a life of luxury, but instead made you work. You're not happy, are you?"
  • 'But, being able to marry me, you should be happy.'
  • Gu Tingjun muttered to himself.
  • There were countless women in Shanghai who wanted to marry him. But he had no interest in matters of the heart. If it weren't for that unexpected night that made him experience love, he wouldn't have known that he could be so concerned about a woman.
  • Gu Tingjun's gaze softened.
  • Thinking of Sulolo's words in the morning, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
  • He directly lifted Sulolo up and asked, "Tell me, why did you say you were a maid this morning?"
  • "Ah... that... I saw Second Young Master with Miss Tang and was afraid that Miss Tang would misunderstand our relationship."
  • When mentioning Tang Ran, Sulolo's eyes, initially filled with disappointment, gradually turned into hatred.
  • Her nails dug into her palms, her smile stiff.
  • "Huh, you would consider it so thoughtfully?" Gu Tingjun obviously didn't believe her. "I think you're afraid that our husband and wife relationship would hinder you from going out to hook up with guys."
  • He glanced suspiciously at Sulolo.
  • She didn't want to admit their relationship in front of others, which made him particularly unhappy.
  • He forgot that he didn't approve of this wife, yet he cared about her hiding their relationship.
  • Sulolo's face tightened, and whenever she thought of Tang Ran, her mood turned sour. "What about you? Second Young Master, you repeatedly remind me at home that I'm not worthy of being your wife. Is it because you've taken a liking to Tang Ran? Unfortunately, I am the young lady of the Su family, the legitimate wife on your marriage certificate. Tang Ran is just a lowly actress, and my grandfather would never agree to her marrying into the family."
  • There was a storm brewing in the girl's eyes.
  • Gu Tingjun's cold demeanor just now instantly changed, his dangerous eyes narrowed.
  • "Sulolo, are you threatening me?"
  • "I wouldn't dare."
  • He was the high and mighty young master. Who would dare to threaten him? It would be like eating bear's heart and leopard's gall.
  • Sulolo's long eyelashes trembled, three parts aggrieved, seven parts unwilling.
  • It serves Gu Tingjun right to be deceived by that woman, Tang Ran.
  • The girl stubbornly bit her lip. "Second Young Master, I'm tired. If you're not going to sleep, please don't disturb me."
  • "You..."
  • Gu Tingjun wanted to say something, but when he saw the girl's eyes moistened by water, his throat suddenly choked up.
  • Her fair skin, clear gaze, and her stubborn attitude and tone made his heart stir...
  • He subconsciously wanted to comfort her.
  • Realizing his own thoughts, Gu Tingjun was shocked.
  • He had already promised Tang Ran that he would take responsibility for her. If it weren't for Tang Ran, he might have been "hurt" that night.
  • Moreover, she was a mistreated actress. Since he took her, he had to take responsibility for her.
  • Gu Tingjun closed his eyes and suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart.
  • Just then, his phone rang.
  • "Hello? Tang Ran?"
  • The sound of the man's footsteps gradually faded away.
  • Sulolo covered her head with the quilt, her nose suddenly feeling sour.
  • The spacious double bed was large, but the two hearts couldn't be close.
  • What use was it to have the identity of Mrs. Gu? It couldn't even exchange for a hundred dollars.
  • Not to mention... there was a so-called "husband" who made things difficult for her at every turn.
  • Her hands were a little sore from doing too much housework, but it was far from the pain in her heart.
  • Why did Gu Tingjun despise her like this, just because she clung to the Gu family and refused to leave?
  • But she was forced to do so...
  • A tear slid down her cheek.
  • "Hello? Ranran, why are you calling so late?... Let's do it tomorrow. I'll have Gu Bai come pick you up for dinner, just choose whatever you like to eat."
  • Moonlight enveloped the bundle of sheets, and the spacious room felt particularly desolate.
  • The small body curled up into a ball, completely motionless.
  • But the more motionless she was, the louder Gu Tingjun's voice became.
  • As if he was deliberately against her.
  • Just now, he was speaking coldly to her, but now he was infinitely gentle.
  • Sulolo angrily covered her ears with the quilt. This wicked man.
  • What kind of person was Tang Ran, she knew better than anyone. She must have set her sights on Gu Tingjun's wealth and resources. But Gu Tingjun was so bad, it would be best if he was deceived by Tang Ran and lost his money and dignity.
