Warning : Providence the Beauty is Driven to Villainy-Chapter 39

39 Contract Marriage (37)

When she heard that name, An Zhenzhen frowned. Her initially pretty face was filled with unsightly jealousy.

Jiang Yuan?

How could she deserve to be with Brother Gu?

How could that b*tch that cheated on her Brother Gu be fit for him?!

As she schemed, many thoughts appeared in An Zhenzhen’s mind.

Wasn’t it said that Gu Xichao and Jiang Yuan’s relationship wasn’t working?

How could this be...

She faked a smile and tested him by asking, “Brother Gu, you treat Ms. Jiang so nice. With a considerate husband like you, she’s so lucky.”

It was as if he didn’t hear her, Gu Xichao continued to pick up the things from the ground.

His scarlet lips stretched into a smile and said without refuting her, “She’s not the lucky one.

“I am the lucky one... to be able to marry Yuan.

“And... Please call her Mrs. Gu, alright.”

Gu Xichao’s attitude was polite and warm, but the words that he had spoken made An Zhenzhen felt like she was choking.

Mrs.Gu?

Why was he so protective of that woman?

When she said those words, the man looked down. His cold eyes had become gentle, and he no longer had the feeling where he was looking down at the world.

It felt like he had become gentler as he had someone to take care of.

After he had was done, he nodded politely at An Zhenzhen and left.

There was nothing that An Zhenzhen could do other than grit her teeth.

She had no reason to stop him.

In the hospital ward.

Gu Xichao knocked on the washroom’s door and cleared his throat. “Yuan, I... I bought them.”

When she heard that, she opened the door the door slightly.

She extended her thin and fair hand, her finger curling into a hook.

She was indicating that he should pass her the bag.

Gu Xichao chuckled and handed the items over.

Jiang Yuan said ‘thank you’ shyly, took the items, and then closed the door.

The man outside the door pursed his lips. He stared at the closed door and had nothing to say.

***

Jiang Yuan, who was in the washroom, looked at the small packet of condoms in the bag. She gapped.

Her hand trembled, and the box dropped onto the floor.

Damn, a- a- a pack of condoms?

Jiang Yuan squinted skeptically and thought to herself.

‘Why did Gu Xichao buy this thing?

‘Is it because he has been alone and cold... He wanted to date a beautiful woman but forgot to take it out of the bag?

‘Or because he wanted to use this to remind her that it’s time for me to fulfill the obligations of a wife?’

When she thought of that, Jiang Yuan could only shudder and shook her head.

She would rather believe the former being true.

***

After she left the washroom.

Jiang Yuan put the extra pads into the plastic bag and brought it out. As for that packet of condoms, it was in her pocket.

She walked toward Gu Xichao somewhat pitifully.

“Uhm...”

Jiang Yuan felt slightly awkward.

Gu Xichao was sitting on the chair looking confused. He then asked, “What is it?”

Jiang Yuan then expressionlessly took out a small pink box and gave it to Gu Xichao.

He squinted as he wasn’t sure what games Jiang Yuan was playing. He slowly extended his hand and took the small box from her hand.

He looked down.

Cond-

Gu Xichao thought that he had seen it wrongly, but in reality, he hadn’t.

It was as if someone had pressed the ‘stop’ button on him.

After a long while.

He extended his hand and covered his mouth as he cleared his throat.

...

“Why did you give this to me?”
