‘Oh, god.’ Aunt Zhou realized that she must have said something that she should not.
Her reaction immediately confirmed Lin Yiqian’s suspicion that Gu Nianshen had referred to her as a dog. Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen was giving Aunt Zhou a threatening look.
As Lin Yiqian pondered, she turned her head around.
It happened so quickly that Gu Nianshen could not react in time. However, he remained calm as he shifted his gaze to Lin Yiqian’s face. “Gu Xiaoxiao did not want to eat it. It would have been a waste.”
As he finished his sentence, he picked up the fork and began cutting his sandwich with it elegantly.
“So, Gu Nianshen, am I a pig or a dog?” Lin Yiqian raised her brows.
Previously, he had said that she was like a pig on a farm. Now, he was referring to her as a dog that he would feed.
Gu Nianshen seemed to be stunned as he stopped moving. It looked almost as if he was deep in thought. “I only want to know so that I can be sure of what animal you are. After all, I become whatever my husband is.”
Chuckles.
As Aunt Zhou was an intelligent woman, she could immediately decipher the exchange of words between Gu Nianshen and Lin Yiqian.
“This kid is too funny.” She laughed out loudly.
Gu Nianshen remained silent.
Amidst the silence, Lin Yiqian smiled in an odd way before turning around and leaving.
When Gu Nianshen saw her walking away, he immediately got up and ran after her. With one hand around her wrist, he dragged her back to the dining table before pulling a chair out and forcing her to sit on it.
He then pulled the plate of sandwiches closer to her before speaking softly next to her ear. “Didn’t the doctor say that two people eating together would help with digestion? Do you not want to get better?”
Seeing this, Aunt Zhou was finally able to relax as an affectionate smile appeared on her face.
She then silently walked away.
Lin Yiqian looked up at Gu Nianshen. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her.
Her eyes glistened whilst she pouted. Gu Nianshen subconsciously swallowed his saliva as his Adam’s apple bobbed.
Gu Nianshen hurriedly looked away from Lin Yiqian before straightening his back and returning to his seat.
After sitting down, he picked up his fork and continued to eat. With every bite, he would lift his head to look across at Lin Yiqian.
Finally, Lin Yiqian picked up her fork and knife. At the sight of this, Gu Nianshen felt a strong feeling of joy in his heart as a smile appeared on his face.
Throughout breakfast, neither of them spoke. However, they both emptied the content on their plates.
Lin Yiqian was particularly still longing for more after taking the last bite of the sandwiches Gu Nianshen had made.
‘The breakfast prepared by my husband tastes amazing!’
Lin Yiqian put down her cutlery before picking up the glass of milk in front of her. As she did so, she made it appear as if she was unintentionally looking across at Gu Nianshen.
Right then, Gu Nianshen was also holding his glass of milk.
Lin Yiqian felt an indescribable sense of happiness at the sight of this coincidence.
“If you’re not well, you should stay home and rest. Don’t be out and about. That sorry excuse for a company won’t shut down so soon.” Gu Nianshen suddenly spoke after he had drunk all the milk in his glass.
He still seemed to look down upon Lin Quan.
Lin Yiqian felt speechless.
Was this how someone consoled a sick person? Did he really want her to get better or did he hope her medical condition would worsen?
Lin Yiqian downed the remaining milk in her glass in a single gulp before putting the glass down and storming off with her purse in hand.
Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen tilted his head to one side whilst frowning at the sight of Lin Yiqian leaving.
Were they not fine just a moment ago when they were eating?
She had even finished all of the food he made. Why was she behaving as if he had done something wrong?
***
By the time Lin Yiqian made it to the door, the housekeeper had already parked her car in front of the main entrance.
As soon as Lin Yiqian got into the car, her phone began to ring. It was a call from Bai Se.
Wary that someone might overhear her, Lin Yiqian only picked up the call after she had turned on the engine. “What’s up?”
“I’ve found out that your husband was rummaging through the junkyard for some clothes last night,” Bai Se said teasingly.
