Meng Nianyao coughed for a while, but Gu Wencheng didn’t move. Meng Nianyao stole a glance at him, but he still didn’t react.

“Gu…” Meng Nianyao spoke, but she choked and immediately started coughing. She coughed so hard that it felt like her internal organs were about to come out, and the honey lemon water in her hand spilled a little because of the cough.

Gu Wencheng finally moved. He strode to her side, took the water from her hand, and patted her back.

After a while, Meng Nianyao’s coughing finally subsided. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at Gu Wencheng, her tone very accusatory.

Gu Wencheng frowned, picked up the water on the table and handed it to Meng Nianyao. He didn’t say anything, his face still cold.

Meng Nianyao looked on, thinking that she had to continue this act. She blinked and tears flowed down like a tap. Gu Wencheng’s hand holding the honey water froze.

Meng Nianyao choked. “Gu Wencheng, I didn’t know that my phone was out of battery. I didn’t mean to not tell you. Don’t be angry with me, okay?” After saying that, she coughed twice again.

Gu Wencheng’s face was still cold. He slammed the cup on the table.” Keep pretending. I’ll see how long you can pretend.”

Meng Nianyao looked at him and her tears fell even faster. This time, she was so angry that she cried. She looked angrily at Gu Wencheng, turned around, and left the study, slamming the door with great force.

Gu Wencheng frowned and narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction of the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Meng Nianyao went straight into the bathroom and wiped the tears off her face. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red and her brow bone was red. Her skin was fair, and the red areas were especially obvious. She felt like a coward. She rubbed her cheeks hard, took a deep breath, and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Meng Nianyao stayed in bed. About half an hour later, Gu Wencheng came in.

Meng Nianyao was sleeping on her back and didn’t close her eyes. The moment Gu Wencheng came in and turned on the lights, she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Gu Wencheng looked over and Meng Nianyao also looked at him. Meng Nianyao had calmed down while she was showering. She knew that Gu Wencheng was angry because he couldn’t find her tonight. She could’ve solved the problem with a few words of coquettishness, but she didn’t know how things ended up like this. In any case, Gu Wencheng was worried about her.

Meng Nianyao looked at him and was about to speak when him went straight into the bathroom.

Meng Nianyao was speechless.

After a while, Gu Wencheng came out of the shower and Meng Nianyao said, “Gu Wencheng, we…”

Before Meng Nianyao could finish her words, Gu Wencheng interrupted her.” I have a video conference. Go to sleep first. Don’t wait for me.” With that, he left the bedroom and returned to the study.

In the study, Gu Wencheng was sitting in a chair. He didn’t have a meeting at all. He just wanted to avoid Meng Nianyao for the time being. He had promised her that he would fall in love with her as soon as possible, but for him, love was not a concrete thing.

In the past, when he was with Ning Xi, he thought that Ning Xi was interesting, optimistic, and cheerful—a girl with a good personality. He was very happy with her and didn’t feel uncomfortable around her. At that time, he thought that he loved Ning Xi, but when she passed away unexpectedly, he wasn’t as sad as he imagined. When he was young and vigorous, his hatred was even more obvious. After a long time, when he thought of Ning Xi again, he only felt regret and pity.

Now… When he saw Meng Nianyao being bullied, he would protect her. When he saw her sick and miserable, he hoped that he could bear it for her. When he saw her cry, his heart ached. He even had the thought that as long as she didn’t cry, he would do anything for her. He had never thought about these feelings carefully, but when he couldn’t find Meng Nianyao tonight, his reaction was beyond his expectations.

Gu Wencheng frowned and pressed his eyebrows. This kind of feeling came unwittingly, making him a little uncomfortable.

After Gu Wencheng left, Meng Nianyao didn’t feel sleepy at all. She was a little angry and after rolling around on the bed, she calmed down again. The minute hand went round and round. When the clock reached two o’clock, Meng Nianyao got up from the bed and went to the study. She pushed the door open and went in. Gu Wencheng was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and his head raised. He opened his eyes when he heard the sound..
