“Gu Zechen…

Su Ni murmurs in a lower voice, holding Gu Zechen tighter. “Though you think I am troublesome and sentimental, you did it for me. I was really moved.”

“In fact, I don’t need you to be so kind to me. Just like now, I wish you could hold me.”

When Su Ni talks fondly, she comes close to him, fixing her eyes on him with a smile. “In fact, I am an easily contented woman. Now I finally have the confidence to tell others that I am Mrs. Gu.”

“It is just a ring.” Gu Zechen turns around unnaturally, for Su Ni’s eyes are so hot that he feels uncomfortable.

Su Ni feels despondent, but she doesn’t say it. She says softly: “For you, it is an ordinary ring; but for me, it is the first ring you give me. It is of great significance.”

Feeling Gu Zechen’s silence, Su Ni pretends to shrug easily. “Well, I won’t trouble you. I’ll go first.”

After saying that, Su Ni sneezes with her head shaking, which makes her uncomfortable.

“If you are uncomfortable, you just need to lie there tamely. Don’t say too much, please.” Gu Zechen turns his head impatiently, and finds her bare feet. Without hesitation, he bends down, holds her in arms and strides into the room.

Worrying about her headache, Gu Zechen moves softly. Su Ni puts her arm around his neck and is unwilling to loosen her arm. “Zechen, don’t go tonight. Could you accompany me?”

“Behold, my wrist is still not good and my head is painful. And I feel as if I have caught a cold. I need someone to take care of me tonight.” Su Ni blinks and lists many reasons.

Gu Zechen’s frowning eyebrows are relaxing and finally there is no emotion on his face. He covers the quilt for her and says:”Don’t worry. I’ll stay here.”

So when she falls asleep, will Gu Zechen leave?

Su Ni looks at Gu Zechen with reluctance and the latter’s eyeballs are wandering and quickly move. “I have something to deal with. I’ll stay in the study and call me if you have any problem.”

“OK.” Su Ni responds cleverly.

Before she lets him go, Su Ni suddenly raises her head and touches his lips lightly. She looks at his stiff eyes and smiles contentedly. “I’ll wait for you.”

Gu Zechen responds slightly and then turns around to leave. In the study, Gu Zechen opens the film and has a look. But his mind is still thinking about what Su Ni said just now, which makes him annoyed. With a click, he closes the document and takes a cigarette out of his pocket. Soon, the smoke blurs his sight, making his emotion ambiguous. It is just a ring. Why does he feel so heavy in his heart? Gu Zechen gently presses his temples with his hands, and smokes vigorously. However, his complicated and upset mood can’t calm down.

He doesn’t wait for Su Ni as their appointment. He stands up and is going downstairs.

An Rong is surprised downstairs. “It is too late. Where are you going? Don’t forget that Su Ni is still upstairs.”

“Take care of her for me please.” After Gu Zechen says that, he leaves the house without looking back.

Su Ni hears the noise. She can fell Gu Zechen’s adamant attitude. She feels disappointed but she has expected that. Su Ni touches the ring on her finger, which gives her a kind of wonderful feeling of restraint. She tries to take it off. The ring is right, not too big or too small. She even doesn’t know how Gu Zechen has gotten to know her finger size. Strangely, this man even knows her measurements, which enables him to find a designer to design her dress easily.

“Sleep!” Su Ni whispers, forcing her to put aside all thoughts and sleeps.

The next day. Su Ni gets up but suffers a headache. She hammers her head gently, which causes a bitter pain.

“Is it just a concussion? Why does it become serious?” Su Ni complains in a low voice. Though she wants to go to work, she can’t go today.

Su Ni calls Qin Yue and arranges the work simply. Then she changes her clothes and goes downstairs. An Rong and Gu Lang are there. But she doesn’t find Gu Zechen. It seems that he didn’t come back last night.

“How are you, Su Ni? I heard that you had an accident. Because I was afraid of disturbing you, I didn’t go up to see you. Do you feel better after sleep?” Gu Lang rushes to the stairs the instant he sees her and calls her name directly in front of An Rong.

Su Ni wants to resist, waving her hand. “It seems bad after watching you.”

An Rong stops Gu Lang and adds porridge for Su Ni. She says gently: “Today you can stay home to have a good rest. The person who suffers concussion needs rest. Besides, Gu Lang, go outside and don’t bother your aunt.”

“Granny, you thought I didn’t care about family before. And today I don’t want to play outside. I will stay with aunt, or she will feel bored.” Gu Lang looks at Su Ni with a longing look. When An Rong hears that, she smiles and shakes her head, but she doesn’t stop him. If Gu Lang stays here, Su Ni’s mood will be better probably.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

After the meal, An Rong makes an appointment with several friends to have a morning meeting and has no time to accompany Su Ni. In the big house, there are only Su Ni and Gu Lang.

Su Ni wants to escape Gu Lang, so she goes upstairs after the meal. As a result, Gu Lang follows her, which makes Su Ni helpless, and she says:”Gu Lang, I need rest.”

“It’s okay. You can have a rest and I stay nearby. I will not bother you.” Gu Lang says rudely with a smile. Su Ni rolls her eyes.

She doesn’t know whether Gu Lang really doesn’t understand her meaning or not. She says directly:”Gu Lang, I am your aunt.”

“I know it.”

However, Gu Lang nods his head in earnest and looks at Su Ni. “That is why I take care of you when my brother-in-law is not here.”

Unexpectedly, Su Ni doesn’t know how to respond. She is helpless, and has to let Gu Lang talk nonsense.

Soon, Gu Lang brings a basket of freshly washed grapes from the servant and places it where Su Ni can reach it. He says: “Su Ni, try it. It is sweet.”

“Fine.” Su Ni is looking at the boring soap opera and is perfunctory.

“Su Ni, how did you have an accident yesterday? I remember my brother-in-law has a good driving skill.” Gu Lang asks casually.

Su Ni pauses and looks at Gu Lang. “Can you sit here quietly? My head is more painful after you talk.”Gu Lang immediately covers his mouth pitiably as if he has done something wrong.
