Chapter 22 Perfunctory

Chapter 22 perfunctory remarks

Occasionally, she wondered if she was really not her own. Otherwise, how could a mother only have an inexplicable grandson in her eyes? This was not the first time she had been urged to get married. Wei Rongqing had mentioned it more than a hundred times in the two years since she graduated from college.

Shu Wei bit her lip and remembered Gu Xinyan's perfunctory words.

She always thought that everything would be fine if she forced him to get married, and she was so excited that she couldn't care less about anything else and made a promise. We can't tell our parents about our marriage. We won't hold a wedding for now. We won't ask if he loves us or not.

"I'm full. I'll go back to my room first." Upset, Shu Wei got up and went back to his room. Shu Yuan complained behind him, "Look at you. It's been a long time since my daughter came back."

"I'm in a hurry too..."

Shu Wei let himself lie on the bed and caressed his flat stomach. Imagining the possibility of a child, he slowly sighed.

When she forced him to get married, she also said she was pregnant. That clumsy lie, Gu Xinyan did not let the director expose her, but he could not make it up, and when he received the certificate, he couldn't wait to tell him the answer.

Gu Xinyan was not angry at that time, and he only stared at himself with those eyes that could not see his emotions clearly. Shu Wei thought he would drag her to the divorce right away, and he had already made up his mind, but in the end, the man didn't say anything.

Now that I think about it, he's probably tired too. It must have been tiring chasing lin zhaoying, so seeing her, it was okay.

He turned over and buried his head in the pillow. After a few punches, the cotton absorbed all his strength. Instead of punching the soft pillow, she burst into tears...

After some time, a loud noise came from the living room. She could vaguely hear the business that did not belong to her parents. It was probably the warm neighbors who came to visit. Even without her, the house was always so lively.

Knock knock. When the door was knocked on, she was stunned and said in a mute voice, "Dad, I'm asleep."

Knock, knock, knock! The man outside the door was very persistent and knocked on the door again and again. A rhythmic voice is always annoying.

Shu Wei wiped his tears and got up from the bed, "Here we go."

"Dad, I'm fine. Don't..."

"I don't like it that way." The man opened his mouth when Shu Wei was surprised, and his low and mellow voice made him feel at ease for no reason.

Shu Wei was stunned and looked down, "Why are you here?"

"I didn't see anyone at home and didn't answer the phone. What else can I do?" Gu Xinyan raised his eyebrows and clenched her hand. The rough and thick palms and the soft palms held together, always giving people a kind of throbbing. But the next moment, he realized that his palm temperature was a little low, and immediately let go of her.

"Not until tomorrow?" Shu Wei took a chair and asked him to sit down. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still handed him a warm handbag.

She clearly remembered that Gu Xinyan said the time was tomorrow and that he was here in the middle of the night. Did he push back the dinner to discuss getting engaged again?

The moment she took it, Gu Xinyan took her into his arms. His thick eyebrows could not see the end, "Are you crying? Miss what I miss?"

When Shu Wei saw his tender eyes, the tip of his nose suddenly soured and he immediately turned away from him. But the rough fingertips on his cheeks made him reluctant to leave.

She sighed softly and leaned back in his arms, not struggling anymore. Listening to the wild wind outside, she quietly enjoyed the rare silence, "Everything is done."

"It's almost done. Tang sri said it was the winter solstice and wanted to come back to see you. I didn't expect you to be away." He paused to change the subject and rubbed the palm of Shu Wei's hand, "I just came in and saw that uncle and aunt didn't look right. You guys had a fight?"

"Yes." Shu Wei smiled bitterly and did not expose his clumsy lie, "Forcing me to get married."

After that, she forced herself to leave gu xinyan's lap, unwilling to indulge in it any longer, "You saw me too, so go back, or else my mother will be in trouble again when she asks about your marriage."

Gu Xinyan shrugged, "We're married."

Shu Wei clenched the ring on his chest and felt a chill run deep into his heart, "Then go tell her we're married, tell her we'll have a grandson soon!"

"But how dare you? Gu Xinyan, you don't even dare to admit our marriage!"

For so long, she had never even heard him talk about an open marriage. Shu Wei would occasionally wonder if her deceit in forcing the marriage had made this man hate her.

She didn't know if her tone was too harsh, or if it hurt Gu Xinyan. For a moment, Shu Wei looked at his gloomy face and thought he would leave. But in a flash, Gu Xinyan returned to his former self.

"Okay, take it slow. Are you hungry? Uncle said you didn't eat much."

After that, regardless of whether Shu Wei responded or not, he pushed the door open and went to the kitchen. His tall figure bent over the narrow kitchen and rummaged for a bowl of steaming dumplings.

Shu Wei looked over coldly and lay on the bed, "I'm not hungry."

I'm hungry. I haven't had dinner yet. With me?"

As she spoke, Gu Xinyan had already picked up a dumpling, and the fragrance spread from it, pulling the taste buds.

Shu Wei tilted his head to take a look, then lay on the side of the bed, his head on a soft pillow, his heart in a mess.

She sat up abruptly and shouted at gu xinyan, "Isn't your mother going to treat you to dinner with Lin Zhaoying? Aren't we going to talk about your re-engagement? If you're not full, why don't you go over!"

Gu Xinyan put down his chopsticks and frowned deeply, "How do you know?"

He did come from Gu residence, and so was Lin Zhaoying. His family mentioned getting the two of them engaged again, but he didn't answer, so he went straight out and came here.

Shu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I saw your mother today. She probably doesn't like me. She said she only wanted Lin Zhaoying to be her daughter-in-law and told me that you were coming back today."

Gu Xinyan accidentally broke the lie and looked a little uncomfortable. He sat awkwardly by the bed and hugged Shu Wei tightly, "I didn't want to tell you, but I can't hide it from anyone."

"There's no need. Your heart is on the other side. There's no use for people here."

He smiled bitterly, "My relationship with her for more than ten years can't be broken just because I want to. For the past twenty-eight years, she has been an indispensable part of my life. You can't ask me to forget it right away." As she spoke, she put something on Shu Wei's wrist while she was struggling.

"What is this?" On her wrist, the bracelet was silver-white and exquisite. A closer look revealed that it was similar to the one around her neck. Shu Wei was distracted by his words, and in an instant he was attracted by the bracelet.

"It's for you."

"No!" Shu Wei pulled it off without thinking and threw it at him.

Gu Xinyan's face remained the same. He knew she was angry and wanted to shove it back. But when shu wei saw his helpless look, her heart was burning with fire. He suddenly picked up the necklace and threw it out.

"Wow!" Coincidentally, it fell into the bowl of dumplings and spilled some water.

Gu Xinyan's face turned livid all of a sudden, and his chiseled features almost immediately tightened into a straight line. Shu Wei glared at him, who stubbornly raised his head and clenched his palm, refusing to admit defeat.

The man immediately got up, took out his bracelet and wiped it clean with a tissue. When he returned to the bed, his breath was cold.

"I said no." Shu Wei refused to open his fist, so he forced it open. When she said no, he sealed his lips.

After a long time, Shu Wei was not as strong as him. He opened his mouth and bit his lips again. There was blood.

"Hiss..." Gu Xinyan licked the blood on his lips and tilted his head to the side, "Did anyone tell you that biting is not a good habit?"

"What will we do if our future children learn from you?"

Shu Wei's eyes turned red all of a sudden. It was hard to tell where his heart had been touched. But when gu xinyan spat out the word "Child" at her with that gentle gaze, his whole body almost melted away.

She saw Gu Xinyan clenching her wrist, and there was a silver light shining on it. The necklace was tied to it as she struggled.

"Child?" Shu Wei froze, his eyes flashing with surprise, "You want children too?"

Gu Xinyan raised his eyebrows, "I don't really want it, but don't you want it or not? Can I help you?"

Shu Wei felt like he was about to melt away, and at that moment, he was deeply moved from the bottom of his heart.

"Gu Xinyan..." Shu Wei murmured, feeling his heart full of warmth.

"I'm here." He chuckled and whispered. She leaned over and pressed shu wei on the bed, and the kiss fell on her lips, extremely gentle.

Shu Wei closed his eyes and quietly felt his tenderness. Unconsciously, she placed her hands behind his neck and stroked her black hair, letting it pierce her palm.

"Well..."

Gu Xinyan stared at Shu Wei's face and inadvertently flashed a trace of satisfaction. That was not the kind of life he was looking forward to, a warm home and a sweet woman. Or, there was a cute child.

That night, gu xinyan did everything he could to help her have a baby. It was because of this gentleness that Shu Wei remembered this night so deeply...

...

Early in the morning, the sunlight entered the room and softened the room. Shu Wei was still dreaming, as if a man was still working hard, the faint warmth left over from his body, and the deep voice that echoed in his ears...

"Hello?"

Hearing the man's hoarse voice, Shu Wei could not distinguish between dream and reality for a moment and subconsciously closed his eyes.

"What happened to her?"

Gu Xinyan's voice suddenly became tense and he probably heard something terrible. Shu Wei's heart also lifted. Then he got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.

"I'll go over and take care of her."

Just by listening to his tone, Shu Wei knew who he was referring to. When he came back, Shu Wei did not cover up and stared at him with wide eyes.

"I'm awake."

"Well, I woke up as soon as you moved." She was coquettish and stretched out her arms to ask him to hug her. In the past, when the two of them woke up in the same bed, Shu Wei was always good at using women's rights and never let go of any opportunities to get close to him.

Gu Xinyan helplessly picked her up. In the hoarse and magnetic voice of the morning, he said, "You're getting heavier and heavier."

Shu Wei punched him coquettishly and took a picture when Gu Xinyan didn't notice. The image was fixed on the moment he picked her up in a loving embrace...
