C62 Four Years ago Where Were You?

Ye Tian didn't even think about it and retorted back.

"Don't worry about me. You don't need to collect my corpse even if I die."

Gu Qinian's face turned completely black. Without a word, he walked to the study room.

Seeing that he had been humiliated, Ye Tian bit the spoon of ice cream with her teeth and smiled proudly.

As she smiled, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but pause for a moment as she recalled what Gu Qinian had said just now.

Was he just... concerned about me?

But that awkward way of expressing himself...

She thought for a moment and quickly threw this thought out of her mind.

'Forget it. Why would he care about me?'

'It's just a few words. He has stabbed me quite a few times in the past.'

'Maybe she has been bullied by him for too long, and that's why she has such an unrealistic thought.'

She shook her head and returned to the balcony. She curled up in the blanket and basked in the sun contentedly.

Soon, it was time for lunch.

Ye Tian had been paying attention to the upstairs, but after such a long time, there was still no movement.

'Is this dog man not working? Why is he staying at home?'

Ye Tian felt very confused. She was already hungry, and she didn't know if this dog man wanted to leave or not.

It was almost time to cook. Should she cook for him?

But on second thought, even if she did, Gu Qinian wouldn't be interested in eating.

This way, she felt a lot more relaxed. She hummed a little tune and made herself a bowl of noodles.

After the noodles were cooked, she sprinkled some onions and sat down contentedly. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat.

However, before she could even pick up a piece of noodles, a pair of hands suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pushed the bowl away.

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment. When she raised her head, she saw Gu Qinian walk around the table and sit down opposite her.

Immediately after, he pulled the chopsticks from her hand with a natural expression and started eating.

Ye Tian, "..."

She was completely dumbfounded. She never thought that she would be able to snatch food like this!

"You, you, you! Why are you snatching other people's food!"

Gu Qinian looked up at her as if nothing had happened and then raised his chin towards the kitchen.

"It's just a bowl of noodles. Why don't you cook another bowl?"

"You're so relaxed! Why don't you cook it yourself?"

Ye Tian ground her teeth, but Gu Qinian blew a breath of hot air and ate another mouthful of noodles, ignoring her.

Ye Tian glared at him for a long time, but then felt bored and could only enter the kitchen again.

This time, she subconsciously grabbed a handful of noodles when she was about to eat.

That dog man was so big, he definitely had to eat it. Maybe he would snatch it from her again.

She silently cursed in her heart as she carried the small pot to the table.

Seeing Gu Qinian elegantly pick up a piece of noodles, Ye Tian curled her lips and could not help but tease him.

"Hey, it's not that you don't want to cook it, but you don't know how to cook it, right?"

Gu Qinian's expression did not change. He raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her indifferently.

"Will it be alright?"

Ye Tian drank a mouthful of broth and felt a warmth in her stomach. She sneered.

"It's nothing. It's just stupid."

Gu Qinian was not annoyed by her words. He looked at her with his dark eyes and mocked her in the opposite direction.

"Even if you can cook the noodles to this taste, you aren't that smart."

Ye Tian was unconvinced and asked, "What happened to my noodles?"

Gu Qinian slowly picked up a piece of noodles and said with a smile.

"It's tasteless."

Ye Tian rolled her eyes and muttered, "You're still eating so much even though it's tasteless. I don't know what's wrong with you."

She was trying to stab him, and a mocking smile appeared on her face.

"Besides, what are you doing at home? If you have time, why don't you go and accompany Ye Ziyan? Go and be her 24th brother-in-law."

The atmosphere instantly changed when he said that.

Ye Tian saw a gloomy look flash across Gu Qinian's eyes and couldn't help but laugh at herself.

She knew that as long as she mentioned Ye Ziyan, this man would definitely be unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qinian suddenly stared at her. His thin lips slightly raised and his deep voice sounded in the restaurant.

"Why do you want to accompany her? We are husband and wife, aren't we?"

Ye Tian was stunned.

She stared blankly at Gu Qinian's eyes and felt as if someone had pulled the string in her heart.

However, in just an instant, she quickly recovered from her daze and cast aside those thoughts that she didn't believe. She treated his words as a show.

Thinking about the unwillingness of the two of them to attend the press conference, she raised a faint smile.

"You don't have to be like this. Don't worry, you don't have to care about the online discussions. They will disappear in a few days."

As she spoke, she avoided Gu Qinian's eyes without a trace, not noticing his eyes that had suddenly darkened.

"As long as Ye Ziyan doesn't come out and say anything else, she will naturally think of something. Then, the madame won't be able to find trouble with you."

Her expression was relaxed, and the words she said were natural, as if she was smiling from the bottom of her heart.

"When my grandfather's illness is cured, we will divorce. The bridge is still the bridge, and the road is still the road. You and Ye Ziyan don't have to hide it anymore. When the time comes, we can openly show our love."

Her smile was sweet, but her bright and beautiful teeth suddenly stabbed Gu Qinian's eyes.

That smile was like a huge boulder pressing down on his heart, sinking it so deep that it made it difficult for him to breathe.

"When the day of your wedding comes, I will give you a generous gift on account of your care for my grandfather."

Ye Tian was still smiling as she spoke, but Gu Qinian didn't want to listen anymore. He interrupted her in a deep voice.

Looking at his gloomy and dark face, his sword-like eyebrows knitted into a knot that couldn't be unraveled, and the smile on Ye Tian's face faded.

She was getting impatient again.

This man was really too much.

She shrugged and said casually, "Alright, I won't say anymore."

After saying that, she finished the noodles in no time and placed her chopsticks on the bowl, wiping her mouth.

"I cooked the noodles. For fairness sake, I'll leave the bowl to you."

With that, she walked out of the restaurant with oil on her feet, wanting to go upstairs.

"Wait."

Gu Qinian's deep voice stopped Ye Tian's footsteps.

This was completely within Ye Tian's expectations. He wouldn't wash the dishes, right? He would probably push it to her again.

Just as she was about to sigh helplessly, a question that exceeded her expectations came over.

"Where were you four years ago, in the middle of June?"

His voice was hoarse and unbelievable, carrying a heavy weight that could not be removed. It was like a heavy punch that struck Ye Tian's heart.

With her back facing him, Ye Tian's back was straight and her eyes were filled with shock.

Four years ago, in the middle of June, was the period of time when she had operated on him.

Why did he ask this?

What did he know?

In an instant, countless questions swirled in Ye Tian's mind. She was stunned and did not know how to answer.

The sound of a chair being pushed opened rang out. Gu Qinian stood up. His dark eyes were rolling, and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.

"Answer me."
