Gu Zixuan couldn’t believe it when she was called to dinner, amazed at Yu Yuanshen’s speed.
In just forty minutes, he had made five dishes and a soup.
There were shrimp, fish, crabs, and vegetables.
Even the platters were presented with the refinement of a high-end restaurant.
Gu Zixuan clicked her tongue in admiration, "Brother Yu truly has a gift for cooking..."
Yu Yuanshen chuckled softly, his clean fingers holding white ivory chopsticks as he picked rice from a porcelain bowl, trying to feed Yu Youxuan first.
The gentle softness in that gesture sent ripples through Gu Zixuanxin.
Yu Wei looked at her, and in the peaceful atmosphere, glanced at her, then at Yu Yuanshen, and said, "You hit He Xiaoqi last night, and the He Family’s old residence didn’t cause an uproar today?"
Gu Zixuan was taken aback, shaking her head, "I didn’t receive any calls."
Yu Wei raised her eyebrows, "He Qimo, this fool, has his brain fried from the real estate business? With such a big issue at home, I don’t believe that the He Family mother and daughter wouldn’t file a complaint. What does it mean that he hasn’t contacted you for a whole day and night? Does he really think you’re in the wrong and plans to silently push you away?"
Gu Zixuan’s expression froze, and she glanced at Yu Yuanshen.
In reality, she wasn’t keen on discussing family matters in front of Yu Yuanshen, but she noticed him concentrating on feeding Youxuan and said, "I don’t know either, but I can’t proactively reach out to him now... Let’s wait until he needs a meeting; when I give him the documents, everything will come to light."
Yu Wei understood Gu Zixuan’s intention of staying there and digesting her plans.
But she still frowned, "But this is just a way of handling things, Zixuan. What I mean is, you and He Qimo are married. When something happens, the most important thing is his attitude! Trust is the fundamental aspect of whether a couple can spend a lifetime together. Given the severity of this situation, if He Qimo really can’t trust you, should you consider your future?"
Gu Zixuan felt a sudden pain in her heart and looked up at Yu Wei.
After a long time, she said nothing.
Until a clean, slender hand extended from the side, placing down a bowl of soup, "Let’s eat first."
Gu Zixuan’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked toward Yu Yuanshen...
Yu Yuanshen smiled, lowered his gaze, and continued to feed Youxuan.
After eating, Yu Wei took Youxuan up for a nap, and Gu Zixuan followed Yu Yuanshen to wash the dishes.
Her slow movements and distracted mindset caused Yu Yuanshen to glance at her several times.
He paused and spoke, "Leaving aside all external factors, you actually don’t want a divorce?"
Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled.
Thinking of He Qimo’s indifference, his ungratefulness over the years, and even his frequent "extramarital affairs," she shook her head after a long pause, "I don’t want to."
"Why?" Yu Yuanshen’s hand stopped wiping the white plate.
Gu Zixuan gave a slight smile, her fingertips brushing the water from the faucet, "Because I like him."
"..." Just one sentence instantly silenced the air.
Gu Zixuan’s voice became more ethereal, "Perhaps even when I say it, I don’t believe it myself, but marrying him wasn’t just an impulsive decision. He once treated me very well, so well that he held me like a star, capturing all the moonlight to weave a halo just for me." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ n0velfire.net
