Chapter 3 : Doesn't She Have Hands?

  • Without much thought, Gu Nian quickly got up and went downstairs to wash up.
  • When Qin Old Madam saw Gu Nian, she waved her hand and beckoned her over, her eyes filled with satisfaction. "Come, Xiaohuan, come sit here with Grandma."
  • Upon hearing the old lady call her, Gu Nian didn't react for a moment.
  • Quickly adjusting herself, she remembered that she had come here as a substitute for her sister, and the Qin family naturally treated her as her sister, Gu Huan.
  • "Xiaohuan, go call Yan Zheng and have breakfast together." The old lady said.
  • Upon hearing this, Gu Nian's back stiffened.
  • Call Qin Yan Zheng?
  • But given Qin Yan Zheng's fierce warning to her last night, he probably didn't want to see her, right?
  • There was no choice, Gu Nian still went upstairs to call Qin Yan Zheng.
  • Last night, Gu Nian and Qin Yan Zheng slept in separate rooms, with the man sleeping in the guest room next to her.
  • Just as Gu Nian arrived at the door of Qin Yan Zheng's room, she heard his angry roar from inside.
  • "You can't even find a person, what are you all eating for! Go to Yancheng and ask the owner of that inn!"
  • Gu Nian's hand, which was about to knock on the door, suddenly froze. Yancheng inn... why would Qin Yan Zheng investigate that...
  • Before Gu Nian could figure it out, the bedroom door was opened from the inside, and Qin Yan Zheng's face came into view, startling Gu Nian, causing her to take a step back.
  • "What are you doing?!"
  • Qin Yan Zheng sternly questioned, his face dark, his tone harsh, clearly displeased with Gu Nian eavesdropping outside.
  • Startled by the man's shout, Gu Nian was momentarily stunned and stammered, "I... Grandma asked me to call you down for breakfast..."
  • It seemed like Qin Yan Zheng didn't hear her words. He grabbed Gu Nian's wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
  • "Gu Huan, who gave you the audacity to eavesdrop outside the door?!"
  • Under his stern and imposing manner, Gu Nian could hardly catch her breath.
  • "I... I didn't..."
  • "Slap!"
  • Before Gu Nian could finish her sentence, she was pushed away by Qin Yan Zheng, her back hitting the wall, causing her to wince in pain and furrow her brow.
  • "Gu Huan, don't try to challenge my bottom line, or else I will make you understand the cost! Don't think I don't know what you did before marrying into this family!" Qin Yan Zheng said and then left, leaving Gu Nian standing alone against the wall.
  • Watching the man's cold and resolute figure leave, Gu Nian bit her lip tightly.
  • With Qin Yan Zheng's current disgust towards her, it was simply wishful thinking to persuade him to go back to the Gu family for dinner together!
  • But if she didn't bring Qin Yan Zheng back tonight, Gu Jianfeng would continue to pester her until she agreed...
  • There were two reasons why Qin Yan Zheng was angry. One was that he had asked his assistant to investigate the whereabouts of the woman he had relations with that night, but the assistant had found nothing after searching for a long time!
  • The other reason was that Gu Huan dared to marry him with a body that was like a withered flower!
  • What did she think the Qin family was? Some kind of shelter?!
  • "Fourth Young Master, the clues you provided are simply not enough. The inn didn't capture the scene of the person leaving, otherwise you might be able to recall something."
  • Qin Yan Zheng's eyes were cold and his gaze was chilling.
  • "Keep investigating! Until you find something!"
  • After Qin Yan Zheng went downstairs, Gu Nian still hadn't come down.
  • Qin Old Madam, puzzled, asked, "I asked Xiaohuan to call you, why hasn't she come down?"
  • Just as she finished speaking, Gu Nian appeared in front of the dining room.
  • While everyone was having breakfast, Qin Old Madam suddenly asked Qin Yan Zheng to pick up food for Gu Huan.
  • Upon hearing this, Gu Nian almost dropped her chopsticks.
  • And Qin Yan Zheng, in the next second, locked eyes with Gu Nian with a cold gaze!
  • "No, there's no need, Grandma. I can..."
  • "Doesn't she have hands?" Gu Nian's words were interrupted by Qin Yan Zheng's sentence.
  • "As a husband, isn't it customary to pick up food for your wife? Are you trying to provoke me with your words?" The old lady was displeased and her face turned stern.
  • The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became heavy and gloomy.
