Darling Wife

Chapter 17: The Check Was Given to Me by Nan Yan

Last year, when Nan Yan called him, he did remember. He was in a meeting at the time and later asked Xia Cheng to call her back. She said it was nothing. After that, he went on a business trip. Seeing Lu Beicheng's face change color, Zhou Bei spoke out what he had been holding back in his heart and then turned to Gu Nanyan, saying, 'Nan Yan, you rest first, I'll come to see you later.' Once Zhou Bei left, Gu Nanyan saw that Lu Beicheng was still keeping a cold face and not speaking. She regained her usual composure: 'Alright, stop pulling that long face. With a wife as easy-going as me, you should be feeling lucky.' Having said that, she then addressed Lu Beicheng: 'But in the future, don't bring up Xiao Bei. There are many things you don't know about, and by doing so, you are tearing at her scars.' It's not even okay for outsiders to talk about it, let alone her pillow-side person. Gu Nanyan's indifference made Lu Beicheng lift his right hand to press on the back of her neck, abruptly pulling her to him: 'Gu Nanyan, do you even have a heart?' Looking down at Gu Nanyan, thinking about how she had been taken advantage of in one matter and would later go around it in a roundabout way, never to get involved again with her stubborn nature, Lu Beicheng suddenly felt a bit apprehensive. It seemed as if he was worried that one day he might become the bend she wanted to avoid. To Lu Beicheng's question, Gu Nanyan laughed mockingly: 'How can I live without a heart?' She then said: 'I'm sick here, and it's one thing for you to come to see me empty-handed, but to throw a tantrum at me, Lu Beicheng, have you no shame?' With a few light-hearted and teasing reproaches from Gu Nanyan, Lu Beicheng slowly released her neck. His right hand gently stroked her face, and he asked, 'Why didn't you tell me about such a big incident later on?'

If this had happened to another woman, she would surely nag about it for a lifetime, raking up old scores. But Gu Nanyan didn't mention a word about it. Wearing a striped hospital gown, Gu Nanyan smiled indifferently and said, 'It's all in the past, and besides, I wasn't hurt much.' The more casually Gu Nanyan brushed it off, the more troubled Lu Beicheng felt. No matter how strained their relationship was, he was still her husband. With her right hand on Lu Beicheng's wrist, Gu Nanyan was about to remove his hand that was gently touching her face when Lu Beicheng used a bit of force to pull her closer. As she stumbled forward, Gu Nanyan's body pressed tightly against Lu Beicheng's. Seeing what seemed to be deep affection in his eyes, Gu Nanyan raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck: 'Have you thought it through, do you want to have a baby?' Lu Beicheng: 'You don't have anything else on your mind.' Gu Nanyan: 'Let's have one! Otherwise, life would be so boring.' Lu Beicheng: 'No.' Gu Nanyan stood on her tiptoes and rubbed her forehead against Lu Beicheng's: 'Have one.' Lu Beicheng's eyes held a smile: 'No.' She herself was still a child, hadn't even figured out her own heart, what was the point of having a baby. 'Lu Beicheng!' 'Hmm!' As the two were being intimate, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open again, and Qin Haiyun's voice came bustling in: 'Nanyan, how could you get sick like this?' Inside the room, the two quickly let go of each other. At the door, Qin Haiyun was immediately stunned. After staring at them for a while, she hesitantly asked, 'Are you two fighting or being affectionate?'

Gu Nan Yan didn't take the bait and asked on her own, 'Mom, you came over, huh!' As soon as Gu Nan Yan spoke, Qin Hai Yun forgot what she had just asked and replied, 'I just heard from Jing Yang that you were sick, and I rushed over right away.' 'Grandpa and grandma also wanted to come, but I didn't let them.' Gu Nan Yan said, 'It's just food poisoning, I'll be fine after getting an injection for two days.' Right after Gu Nan Yan finished speaking, the nurse came over with the medicine. Beside the hospital bed, Qin Hai Yun was chatting with Gu Nan Yan, while Lu Bei Cheng was peeling fruit for them. As they talked, Gu Nan YanUnconsciously, I fell asleep leaning against the bed。 Without realizing it, Gu Nan Yan dozed off leaning against the bed. Beside her, Qin Hai Yun said with a heartache, 'You've lost weight because of the illness.' Then she turned to Lu Bei Cheng and said, 'Bei Cheng, transfer Ye Chu away from me, the farther the better, preferably not to stay in City A.' Lu Bei Cheng handed her half an orange, 'I don't have anything with Ye Chu, why do you always have a problem with her, mom?' 'It's not that I have a problem with her, I'm afraid that Nan Yan will feel bad, afraid that she will be upset. Why don't you put yourself in her shoes? If Liang Zhou came back, if he hung around Nan Yan all day, would you be comfortable?' When Qin Hai Yun mentioned Shen Liang Zhou, Lu Bei Cheng's expression clearly changed. He stuffed the half orange he was holding into his mouth and looked up at Gu Nan Yan on the hospital bed. Seeing that Lu Bei Cheng didn't speak, Qin Hai Yun whispered again, 'Since you are married to Nan Yan, you should keep your heart in check, you must keep your distance from other women, and son, let me tell you, the Ye family is not as simple as they seem on the surface, don't be deceived by her.'

In summary, aside from Gu Nanyan, Qin Haiyun found no other young lady pleasing to the eye. Lu Beicheng said indifferently, 'I don't have those thoughts about her.' Qin Haiyun replied, 'Then why do you still hesitate to transfer her away? And last time when I asked Nanyan to give her a check, that little vixen actually gave the check to you. It seems that Nanyan was right when she said that my suggestion was pushing her into a fire pit.' 'Thinking about it now, I indeed underestimated that Miss Ye.' Lu Beicheng turned his head to look at Qin Haiyun: 'Did you ask Nanyan to give the check to Ye Chu?' He thought that Gu Nanyan would not do such a thing and even suspected she did it on purpose to disgust him. It turned out, it was his mother's idea behind the scenes. The key point was, when he threw the check at her, she didn't even mention his mother. Looking back at Gu Nanyan on the hospital bed, many times Lu Beicheng wished that Gu Nanyan could argue with him, fight with him, be like other women. In this way, he would feel somewhat more comfortable. She was always so generous, making him feel dispensable. Qin Haiyun added, 'That's right, it was my private savings.' Later, when Qin Haiyun continued to nag, Lu Beicheng didn't listen anymore. By noon, when Gu Nanyan woke up, Qin Haiyun had already left, but Lu Beicheng was still there. With her arm resting on her forehead, Gu Nanyan asked, 'Aren't you busy today?' He used to always say he was busy. So she was quite surprised that he had time now. 'Not busy,' he replied, and then asked, 'The check was given to Ye Chu by mother's request, why didn't you tell me?' When asking Gu Nanyan, Lu Beicheng remembered that she also said the other day that maybe he should give her twenty million, and she would have someone draft the divorce agreement. Whether it was her true feelings or just a joke, Lu Beicheng was no longer sure.
