They Said I’m Mr. Gu’s Scandalous Affair-Chapter 21

I Can Only Show It To You

Gu Wencheng’s tongue pried open Meng Nianyao’s lips and teeth, patrolling and occupying them until a metallic taste lingered between their lips and teeth. He slowly released her. “Meng Nianyao, you’re quite amazing, having an ambiguous relationship with your ex-husband in front of me and even covering up for him.”

Meng Nianyao was forced to look up at Gu Wencheng, unable to avoid his gaze.

Meng Nianyao subconsciously bit her lip. “I didn’t.”

“No?” If not, why did you speak up for him just now?”

Meng Nianyao wasn’t good at explaining, and she felt that her relationship with Gu Wencheng wasn’t at a point where she could say much. But her silence further fueled Gu Wencheng’s anger. He pinched her chin. “Let me ask you again.”

Meng Nianyao winced as his pinch caused her pain. She patted Gu Wencheng’s hand. “I just don’t want to let him off so easily! I want to see him face the consequences.”

Hearing this explanation, Gu Wencheng let go of her chin. He had used too much force, leaving red marks on Meng Nianyao’s skin.

“I’m sorry.”

“Can we go to the hospital now?” Meng Nianyao was silent for a moment.

Half an hour later, in the hospital’s emergency room, Gu Wencheng received a lecture from the doctor, and Meng Nianyao was also addressed. “You’re the patient’s wife, right?”

Meng Nianyao hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes.”

“Your husband is being reckless, and you’re letting him do whatever he wants?” With such a deep and long wound, he didn’t take good care of it and was still tormenting it. Does he not care about his leg?”

Meng Nianyao listened quietly and refrained from arguing.

The doctor sighed and shook his head as he spoke. After disinfecting and bandaging Gu Wencheng’s wound, he looked at Meng Nianyao. “Take care of your husband this time. He’s being unreasonable. Don’t spoil him. Follow the doctor’s advice, do you understand?”

Meng Nianyao glanced at Gu Wencheng and saw his grim expression. She smiled. “Okay, thank you, doctor.”

When they returned to the hotel, it was already early in the morning. Meng Nianyao helped Gu Wencheng to the bedroom and went to the bathroom to get a towel. “You can manage with this for tonight. I’ll ask Ping Yang to help you bathe tomorrow.”

Gu Wencheng, who was wiping his face, stopped. “Mrs. Gu, you’re allowing another man to bathe your husband?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Of course, there’s a problem. You’re the only one who should see my body.”

Meng Nianyao was speechless. She turned around and went into the bathroom.

Gu Wencheng watched her go, then suddenly smiled.

Meng Nianyao spent a long time in the bathroom. Eventually, Gu Wencheng said, “Mrs. Gu, are you planning to stay in the bathroom until dawn?”

Meng Nianyao stood at the sink, looking at herself in the mirror. She ignored Gu Wencheng and waited for the heat on her face to subside before opening the door and leaving.

Gu Wencheng hadn’t fallen asleep yet and was leaning against the headboard, wearing a faint smile. The blush on Meng Nianyao’s face returned, and she tried to act as if nothing had happened. “You should rest; I’ll go get some water.”

“Mrs. Gu, don’t take too long to drink, or I might worry and come looking for you again.” Gu Wencheng reminded her with a teasing tone.

Meng Nianyao was speechless. She ignored Gu Wencheng’s words and turned to leave the bedroom. She wasn’t really thirsty; she just wanted to avoid embarrassment.

Meng Nianyao lingered outside for about half an hour. Gu Wencheng had called her twice in between, so she had no choice but to put down the glass and walk back to the bedroom. Gu Wencheng hadn’t slept yet. Seeing her approach, the smile on his face was irritating in Meng Nianyao’s eyes. She wished she could tell him to stop laughing, but she couldn’t. She could only ignore Gu Wencheng, walk to the other side of the bed, and lie down.

The bed was quite large, and Meng Nianyao was lying on one side, almost two meters away from Gu Wencheng. After lying down, she turned off the light on her side and closed her eyes.

Gu Wencheng found it amusing to tease Meng Nianyao, so he also lay down and faced her. “Mrs. Gu, you’re on the verge of falling out of bed. Come closer…” As he spoke, he patted the space between them. “At least two of you can sleep here.”

Meng Nianyao closed her eyes and didn’t move, as if she hadn’t heard Gu Wencheng’s words.

“Mrs. Gu?” Gu Wencheng called again, but Meng Nianyao continued to ignore him. He called again, “Mrs. Gu? Mrs. Gu… I’ve suddenly realized that you’re quite attractive, and it’d be easier to sleep closer to you…”
