The dirty work, he would do it.

He was a businessman, and he had done things he should and shouldn’t have for the sake of profit. So he didn’t mind doing a bit more. In his eyes, she was a piece of flawless jade that should not be tarnished.

Eleven was about to go upstairs to change her clothes, Gu Liancheng grabbed her wrist and said, "Do you remember what I said last night?"

"?"

What did he say last night?

"Drinking can’t solve problems. You came to me for help knowing well that the chances of success were low back then. Don’t you have enough confidence to ask me for help, now that we are even closer than we were four years ago?"

Eleven was stunned, "I see..." She turned and went upstairs.

Indeed, his inexplicable trust in her, to the point he never questioned what she did with the money back then, he must not have investigated it, otherwise, it would be really hard for her to hide her child.

Back then, she did not plan to hide the child. Because if he didn’t agree to help her, she would tell him about the child. If he confirmed that the child was his, he would certainly help, wouldn’t he?

But what she worried about did not happen at all.

Gu Liancheng respected her from the beginning. In fact, she had no status in this marriage, it was like a transactional marriage, he paid the money and she married him. She should be completely obedient to him, and he should act like a "buyer", but the truth is, he didn’t put himself in a high position to demand her.

They were pretty much equal, other than not truly loving her, he gave her what a husband should give to a wife.

As for Gu Liancheng, she can’t really ask for more, otherwise, things might start to turn sour.

Seeing her go into the room, Gu Liancheng furrowed his brow slightly.

He believed that she didn’t know. She didn’t plan to tell her, such as her background.

...

After Eleven changed her clothes, she walked steadily, it seemed that stepping on the glass did not hurt her badly.

Gu Liancheng stood up from his newspaper and said, "I’ll take you there."

When they arrived at West Shadow, Gu Liancheng didn’t let Eleven leave the car and asked Su Qing to inquire. Eleven sat in the car and waited.

She asked, "I was thinking, could it be that Yao Ruoshui being subpoenaed, some students were punished and the bulletin board thing... did you do all that?"

If he was privy to everything happening at West Shadow recently...

"Who do you think would care for you as much as me?" Gu Liancheng responded casually, "If there is, I will certainly pull him out, hang him on the city wall for three days."

"Pfft..."

Eleven, who had been maintaining a serious face from the moment they left home, laughed.

"It looks good when you laugh," Gu Liancheng flicked her chin lightly, "You know, I love to see your smile most."

"I got it!" Eleven moved a little, lay down, and nestled on his thighs. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Looking up at him, she felt a slight difference in her heart.

If she got wronged, he would vent for her. Besides, if she didn’t ask, he wouldn’t even mention these things to get her gratitude.

This proofed that his intention was not there when he did all these.

"Hubby, why are you so good to me." Eleven blinked, looking a bit overwhelmed.

"This question, you’ve asked for many years, and my answer is the same, because you are my wife."

"Who would be so nice to a wife you bought?" Eleven giggled looking up high from low, "Hubby, can’t you resist my infinite charm, have you really fallen for me?"
