That night, the woman told her that if you couldn’t find any ways to make a woman happy, the simplest and most effective thing to do was to admit that you were wrong!
Xu Weilai was dumbfounded. She thought that he was going to confront her, but his response…
Even if she said it, would he be able to change?
She wanted him to love her. Was he able to change that?
For a split second, she almost blurted her thoughts out loud. However, she was able to use her last ounce of rationality to suppress the urge to say it.
She knew very well that Gu Yu didn’t do anything wrong. He just didn’t love her…
He doted and tolerated her three years ago because she took care of him. Now, he doted her just because she blocked that knife for him. In neither case was love involved. Even if it had something to do with emotions, it was probably just all out of gratitude.
A forced relationship is not sweet. Instead, it’s so bitter that it makes one extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Weilai furiously swallowed two mouths of saliva to force down the bitterness in her throat. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t…”
She closed her eyes to hide the feelings showing in her eyes. She was mocking herself.
Because of Gu Yu’s single sentence, she no longer knew what to do. If she didn’t make a decision soon, she would truly want to pester Gu Yu for life and never give up on him no matter what happened!
Her arms were placed at the side of her body. She clenched her clothes so tightly with her hands that they became crumpled. Xu Weilai took a few deep breaths and opened her eyes once again.
“Gu Yu, I’ve rested for long enough. Let’s go home.”
She said the two words ‘go home’ very clearly and seriously. This was the first time she said these words since she married Gu Yu.
In her heart, she never saw the apartment as her home. She would let herself indulge in her dreams one last time. This time, she would take the apartment as the home for Gu Yu and her.
Xu Weilai’s sudden change caused Gu Yu’s gaze to turn deep.
Would admitting that he was wrong truly work? Then why… He didn’t know why, but he sensed an invisible aura of sorrow surrounding her.
He placed his hand gently on the lady’s cheeks. When he spoke, his voice was very deep yet slightly horse. “Really?”
Xu Weilai didn’t avoid his hands. She raised her head and nodded. “Yes.”
“Okay, let’s go home.”
–
Mrs. Lin heavily sighed in relief when she saw Xu Weilai coming back with Gu Yu. “Young mistress, where did you go? You didn’t say anything or answer my call. I was so worried about you.”
Xu Weilai smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lin. I went out to relax my mind, so I didn’t look at my phone.”
“Well as long as you’re fine, then it’s alright! It’s good that you’re back!”
Xu Weilai held Mrs. Lin’s warm hands. She felt the same warmth in her heart as well.
If she did break up with Gu Yu, she would hate to part with Grandpa Gu, Mrs. Lin, and Gu Xue. All of them treated her wholeheartedly. If she could, she wanted to forever be part of their family.
Xu Weilai took her clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to take her bath. At that moment, she heard Gu Yu’s phone ringing. She stopped in her tracks unconsciously. Was it Yun Rou again?
Gu Yu walked over to the coffee table and took his phone. He glanced at the screen and picked up the call. Upon listening to the person on the phone, however, he walked out of the bedroom. It was as if he was afraid Xu Weilai would hear him.
Xu Weilai stood frozen on the spot for a brief moment before walking into the bathroom in a daze.
She spent a whole hour in the bath. When she came out, her skin was slightly red from soaking in hot water for a long time. By this time, Gu Yu had already finished bathing in the other room. He was sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for her.
As expected, he raised his eyelids and looked at her. His voice was deep as he said, “Xu Weilai. In two days, I want to bring you to meet the one in my heart.”
Xu Weilai didn’t manage to grab her towel properly. It fell to the ground.
Was Gu Yu going to bring her to meet the one in his heart, Yun Rou? Was he planning to let her know how much he loved Yun Rou before asking her to leave so that they could get together?
