Chapter 39 We’re Husband and Wife
As soon as she he finished speaking, the man who had his eyes closed finally opened them slowly.
His dark eyes were as deep as the boundless ocean. There was a hint of amber in the dark, like a bright star in the dark sky.
The man opened his eyes without any warning and stared straight at her. His eyes were calm; there was no strange light that sometimes appear when men saw beautiful women.
His pale lips opened and closed gently. Because he had been unconscious for so long, his voice was a little low, but it was not unpleasant to the ears. It was like a cello full of charm. “Hello, Mrs. Gu.”
Mrs. Gu?
Fang Tong came back to her senses and avoided Gu Nancheng’s gaze. She cleared her throat lightly and said, “Since you already woke up, why did you pretend to be in a coma?”
At first, Fang Tong believed Fu Yan’s story. She thought that Gu Nancheng knocking Gu Ting out was nothing but a spontaneous reaction. But, the more she thought about it while she was getting a glass of water downstairs, the more she felt that something was wrong. Fu Yan was way too calm. He did not have the excitement most normal people would have when he heard that Gu Nancheng, a person in coma, had awoken.
When she returned to the bedroom, Fu Yan took out the acupuncture needles and asked her to perform acupuncture on Gu Nancheng. Fang Tong became more and more certain that Gu Nancheng was faking coma.
Otherwise, how could Fu Yan let her, an amateur in medicine, perform acupuncture on him? Wasn’t he worried that she might kill Gu Nancheng?
“Can you help me up first?” Gu Nancheng made a request instead of answering Fang Tong’s question.
Fang Tong glanced at him and then helped him up. She was worried that he couldn’t sit comfortably so she pulled out her own pillow and put it behind his back.
“Does the injury on your back still hurt?”
“Huh?” Fang Tong was stunned. “It was really you who applied the ointment on me?”
Gu Nancheng could not help but laugh. “Is there anyone else besides me?”
Fang Tong’s expression changed drastically. “That means you woke up a long time ago! And this whole time, you…”
At this moment, Fang Tong recounted the number of times she had talked to Gu Nancheng like she was talking to herself. She even changed her clothes in front of him, thinking that he couldn’t speak, move, or see. He must have seen every inch of her naked body!
Fang Tong was embarrassed and angry. She pointed at Gu Nancheng and said angrily, “Gu Nancheng, you’re despicable!”
“I only woke up a few days ago. Don’t worry. I didn’t see you when you were changing your clothes.”
“How could you know that I was changing if you didn’t see me?” Fang Tong became even angrier. This was like indirect admission of guilt!
Gu Nancheng pursed his lips. “Although I can’t see, I can hear you.”
Fang Tong was stunned. “In other words, all the things I said in the last few days, you… How could you do this to me?”
Although Fang Tong didn’t say anything bad about Gu Nancheng, she said some things precisely because he couldn’t hear her! Those were her secrets, and now Gu Nancheng said he heard them all!
It was too embarrassing!
“We’re husband and wife. I’m very happy that you can confide in me.”
Fang tong sneered, “I think what you’re trying to say is that you’re very pleased to see a stupid clown like me!”
Gu Nancheng shook his head. “I’ve never thought that about you. The reason why I hid the fact that I’ve awoken was to protect you. I meant no harm. I haven’t even told my mother.”
Hearing Gu Nancheng’s explanation, Fang Tong felt a little better. “Is it because of Gu Ting?”
