Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself-Chapter 1630 - One Can’t Live In The Pain Of The Past

1630 One Can’t Live In The Pain Of The Past

After Qiao Xi finished speaking, Gu Zheng’s expression remained calm, but Qiao Xi could clearly see the fluctuation in his eyes.

Thank you readers!

He did not answer, but Qiao Xi asked, “The glutinous rice balls here taste very good. What do you want to eat?”

“Everything’s fine.” Gu Zheng slowly looked up with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. His voice was a little hoarse. “I’ll eat whatever you order.”

Qiao Xi ordered two signature fillings, and the two of them quietly waited. Gu Zheng suddenly asked, “Why do you suddenly want to eat glutinous rice balls?”

“I haven’t eaten near Li City University in a long time, so I asked you to come and try this place out with me.”

!!

While the two of them were talking, the glutinous rice balls were served. Qiao Xi picked one up and blew on it a few times before putting it in her mouth. It was so hot that she shouted, “Gu Zheng! Quickly try it. The filling is delicious!”

Gu Zheng picked up his chopsticks, his movements a little hesitant as he carefully savored the soft and sweet taste. He had not eaten glutinous rice balls for many years. It had nothing to do with his preferences; he just did not dare to.

When he tasted it, he would definitely recall the scene of his mother making glutinous rice balls for him. She dragged her seriously ill body to make them, and her face was pale. That was the most painful scar in his heart, so he did not dare to eat this dish.

At that time, Huang Lilan abused him and did not give him any food. A pot of glutinous rice balls was already precious food. After he took over the Gu family, every meal was delicious. No one would serve ordinary desserts like glutinous rice balls to his dining table.

“Xi Xi, I remember that you don’t like glutinous rice balls,” Gu Zheng asked softly.

A mouthful of glutinous rice balls was stuck in her throat. Qiao Xi swallowed it forcefully. “I like them!”

Gu Zheng’s eyes burned. “Before we got married, when you were chatting with me online, you said that you didn’t like glutinous rice balls. We’ve been married for so long and you never mentioned them. Why did you suddenly want to eat them today? Did Aunt Fang say something?”

Qiao Xi’s heart instantly jumped as she immediately retorted, “I did say that they taste bad, but that’s because the glutinous rice balls my grandfather made aren’t delicious. The skin of the glutinous rice balls wasn’t even cooked, and the filling was too sweet. What I meant to say was that I don’t like to eat the glutinous rice balls my grandfather made, but you think I don’t like glutinous rice balls at all. You weren’t listening to me at all!”

Gu Zheng curled his lips slightly. Mrs. Gu’s self-righteous appearance was really… cute!

He smiled helplessly. “It’s my fault. What can I do to make Mrs. Gu forgive me?”

Qiao Xi supported her chin and said with a smile, “It’s simple! You can accompany me here more often to eat glutinous rice balls! The beef noodles and dumplings here are very delicious. We can eat different things every day!”

Gu Zheng guessed her thoughts but did not point them out. “Alright.”

After the two of them finished eating, they left. Gu Zheng said indifferently, “Xi Xi, no matter what Aunt Fang says, don’t take it to heart. One can’t always live in the pain of the past. Now that I have you, I’ve long let go of the past.”

Seeing this, Qiao Xi stopped pretending. “Aunt Fang did tell me some things. I just want you to eat whatever you like. Don’t just accommodate me. I also want you to tell me everything.”

Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with warmth. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He whispered in her ear, “Alright, I’ll tell you.

“At that time, I was young and didn’t have the ability to resist. Whenever Huang Lilan was unhappy, she would torture me. She locked me in the basement of Maple Garden and tied me to a chair with a rope. I was left to starve for three days, but she placed a roasted chicken in front of me.

Qiao Xi’s heart ached as if she had been punched.

“But the next day, Huang Lilan untied the rope around me and took away the roasted chicken. She sent over a live chicken. When that chicken entered, it was still running around. I… I ate it in the end.”

Qiao Xi’s entire body trembled.

Gu Zheng said indifferently, “During that period of time, every time I had a nightmare, I would dream of that chicken that was stained with blood. I was traumatized, but after I took over the Gu family and met you, I no longer hated chicken. Moreover, when I eat chicken sandwiches with you, I feel very happy.

Qiao Xi’s eyes turned red as she choked. “Stop talking, Ah Zheng.”

Hatred welled up in her heart. She had let Huang Lilan die too easily back then. She had done many evil deeds, so she should have been tortured to death!

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. Qiao Xi picked it up angrily. “Hello?!”

“Little Six, did you eat explosives?” Qin An exclaimed. Google search 𝐟𝓇𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝐛n𝐨ν𝙚𝚕. c𝚘ｍ

When Qiao Xi heard Qin An’s voice, she calmed down. “What is it?”

Qin An went straight to the point. “The He family has indeed participated in the research of the capital’s laboratory. Furthermore, they’ve been researching it for many years.”
