Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 626 - 265. [The Summer of Dew]_3

Many scenes, at the time they were very ordinary, not given much thought.

But after time has settled them, they have all become midnight longings and pains that gnaw at the bones.

Especially after drinking, when he pushes open the door, in this empty bedroom, there is no longer anyone to smile and throw themselves into his arms with complaints, half teasing, half angry.

In the past four years, what he saw every day when he came home was the despairing silence and darkness.

He spoke very slowly, every word filled with affectionate longing, his dark eyes lowered, not revealing much of the emotions in them.

The light in the corridor was soft, Wanxia’s calm eyes did not ripple in the slightest.

She selectively filtered out some words, and as for what remained, she pretended not to hear anything.

Even though she managed to keep her heart at peace, the unique warmth of a man transmitted through her palm to her skin, made her feel somewhat resistant.

It was within Gu Shaozhi’s expectations that Wanxia didn’t respond to him. He couldn’t say he was disappointed; he didn’t have the right to feel that emotion.

He pulled out a chair and pressed her shoulder to sit down, "Would you like some water?"

From the moment the man held her hand and led her downstairs, Wanxia felt a bit unnatural. Now gaining her freedom, she felt completely at ease.

She did not answer his question, instead saying, "I’ve already eaten. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to keep me here?"

Up until today, whenever she ate at the same table with him, the lively and adorable Pea was always there.

Even if they didn’t speak, it wouldn’t be awkward.

But now...

Gu Shaozhi didn’t seem to expect her to answer, he walked to the kitchen on his own, poured her a glass of plain water, adjusted the temperature, and returned to the dining room.

He placed the glass in the woman’s hand, then sat across from her leisurely, saying, "If you let me eat dinner alone, I’ll be unhappy and won’t be in the mood to offer any terms."

Wanxia, "..."

Now that something happened to Shen Weiyi, shouldn’t he be anxious?

With her elbows resting on the table, her palms supporting her chin, her cheeks displayed a gentle smile, "Is Mr. Gu always this shameless and annoying when doing business?"

As long as he didn’t mention the condition for her to meet Qiu Zheng, she would have to drag this out another day with him.

Gu Shaozhi took a sip of the soup, it was the flavor he liked. The dishes on the table, whether in color or taste, were more exquisite than the last time, it was clear that some effort was put into it.

He glanced at the woman, "It depends on who it is."

Wanxia blinked, pretending to listen attentively, "Hmm?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, the man explained unhurriedly, "Miss Ji is different from those clients, there’s something special, of course, it requires different treatment."

Wanxia, "..."

What else could she say?

Without the chirping Pea at the table, even if they no longer spoke, the only sound in the dining room was the occasional ’meow’ from the cat, yet the air was not filled with the awkwardness Wanxia expected. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He ate, she drank water.

Occasionally when their eyes met, they calmly looked away.

This dinner, Gu Shaozhi took half an hour to finish, although he didn’t eat much rice, the soup and dishes were halved.

After elegantly wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin, he stood up, walked around the dining table, and picked up the dazed woman horizontally, "What are you so lost in thought about?"

Suddenly in the air, Wanxia instinctively wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.

Her dazed gaze focused, her delicate brows furrowed, "Nothing, I can walk myself, put me down."

Of course, Gu Shaozhi wouldn’t listen to her, he took long strides out of the dining room, "Your foot is injured, excessive pulling on the wound is not good."

Her height was considered tall for a girl, yet in his arms, she felt very light, she had lost a lot of weight compared to four years ago, he could clearly feel her back bones pressing against his arms.

Wanxia had basically no ability to resist, her slender legs swaying in the air in time with the man’s steps upstairs, "I was able to walk down, can’t I climb up?"

It was just a scraped knee, why act like she was disabled...?

Gu Shaozhi was somewhat helpless, he lowered his head to kiss the woman’s forehead, speaking in a gentle tone, "Be good, don’t move around."

The woman wasn’t very cooperative, forcing him to stop his steps.

With a faint smile, he stared at the woman’s face, slowly saying, "If you make me fall down the stairs, whether I’m crippled or disabled, you’ll have to take care of me for a lifetime, which you don’t want, do you?"

Wanxia craned her neck to look at the stairs behind the man, a glance was enough to count the steps.

Then she withdrew her gaze, looking at him with a blank expression, "Is there even two meters from here to the living room floor?"

Crippled?

Disabled?

Is he made of paper?
