C8 Some Maladjustment

When Gu Chen was ten years old, his parents died in a car accident and were adopted by Cheng Jin's father. Gu Chen's parents left behind a small fortune, but it was enough for Gu Chen to finish reading.

But in Cheng Jin's six years, Gu Chen had a secret that belonged solely to him — — he had discovered that he was in love with the little princess of the Cheng family. That naive little girl would comfort him and accompany him when he was helpless.

In Cheng Jin's eyes, he was only four years older than her brother.

Gu Chen had known for a long time that Cheng Jin already had someone she liked. That person was the fiancé from her previous life, and he was such a good couple that almost everyone who saw them would be envious of them.

Because of Mo Yi Xuan's existence, Gu Chen had been able to see his inferiority for a long time. He realized that he had nothing, so what ability did he have to pursue the person he liked?

Therefore, on Gu Shenwei's nineteenth birthday, he made the decision to go abroad to study.

It had only been ten years since he left. Gu Chen didn't dare to contact Cheng Jin because he was afraid of finding out that Cheng Jin was married to Mo Yi Xuan.

However, he didn't know if it was luck or misfortune. The Cheng Family had fallen and Cheng Jin had been imprisoned, and the one who had caused all of this was Mo Yi Xuan.

Seeing that Gu Chen was in a daze for a long time, Cheng Jin didn't dare to speak. The confined space became even narrower.

When they finally arrived at the Gu residence, Cheng Jin found that the servants inside hadn't slept at all. The huge mansion was actually brightly lit.

Gu Chen wanted to bring Cheng Jin out, but Cheng Jin refused him.

"I can do it myself." As Cheng Jin spoke, he tried to get off by himself.

However, the moment his feet touched the ground, he felt weak in both legs. Thinking of how he hadn't eaten anything all day, and how he had cleaned the hotel in the afternoon, he felt extremely tired.

Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but carry Cheng Jin from the car, while saying in a deep voice, "Don't try to be brave."

Cheng Jin didn't say anything as she placed both of her hands on Gu Shenwei's neck. As she listened to Gu Shenwei's calm heartbeat, she somehow calmed down.

It was only when Gu Chen had brought Cheng Jinfang to the living room that Cheng Jin finally regained her senses and realized that all the servants were looking at her.

"You guys go cook the ginger soup, and you guys go get some hot water." Gu Chen took a long time to explain, finally turning around to look at Cheng Jin after finishing last night.

He saw Cheng Jin holding a torn cloth bag with both hands, with her shoulder-length hair hanging down to her ears. Her palm-sized face was completely pale, just like a stray cat that had been abandoned on the street.

"Go and soak in a hot bath before you catch a cold." Gu Chen said lightly as he forced himself to look away.

Seeing that Gu Chen was still as cold as ever, a strange feeling flashed through Cheng Jin's heart, but she still nodded her head obediently: "En."

After saying that, Cheng Jin followed the female servant and slowly walked up the stairs.

Looking at Cheng Jin's emaciated body, Gu Chen hesitated for a long time before deciding to follow her.

The servant was preparing to send Cheng Jin to the guest room to take a bath, but when they passed by Gu Chen's room, he suddenly said, "Come in."

When the servant heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised. However, he still silently led Cheng Jin to Gu Shenwei's room.

The cold decorative style, the black and white gray collocation style, it was like an icy cold atmosphere. Cheng Jin didn't need to guess to know that this should be the room that Gu Chen stayed in for a long time.

As soon as the maid entered the room, she went straight to the bathroom to get some hot water. As for Cheng Jin, she stood awkwardly in the middle of the bedroom, neither able to sit nor to stand.

Compared to Cheng Jin's nervousness, Gu Chen was much quieter. He took out a set of clean clothes from several boxes, including some underwear and pants.

"This is …" Cheng Jin felt that the scene of Gu Chen holding the woman's clothes was too weird. He hesitated, but he didn't dare to accept it.

But at this time, Gu Shenwei calmly said, "I went to the mall to buy clothes today and brought them over in the afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jin was taken aback.

"How do you know I'll be back?" Cheng Jin probed as he looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Shenwei said expressionlessly, "Because we're going to get married."

Hearing Gu Chen's calm tone, Cheng Jin was about to say something else, but then she saw the maid walk out of the bathroom.

"Mr. Gu, the water has already been filled." When Cheng Jin heard this, he hurriedly carried his clothes to the bathroom.

Gu Chen looked at Cheng Jin's flustered figure for a long time and frowned slightly. Was he that scary?

Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Gu Shenwei seemed to have thought of something and went straight to the study room to pick up the marriage contract and related documents he had prepared earlier.

"You guys go prepare some more food." Gu Chen put down the document in his hand. He remembered that Cheng Jin hadn't eaten since he came out. He couldn't help worrying that Cheng Jin might faint in the bathroom.

But just when Gu Chen was hesitating about whether he should go upstairs to see Cheng Jin, he saw that Cheng Jin had already come down in her pajamas. Perhaps it was because she had bathed in the hot water, but her originally pale face had regained some color.

"Come here." Gu Chen waved at Cheng Jin for a long time, then put the documents aside. Cheng Jinsheng poured a bowl of ginger soup and said, "Drink it, don't catch a cold."

When Cheng Jin heard this, he could only look gratefully at Gu Chen for a long time. After a long while, he gently thanked Gu Chen and drank up the Jiang Tang in one gulp.

After drinking the ginger soup, Gu Shenwei took out the documents he had prepared this morning. "They're only related to marriage. Look, if there's no problem, then we'll sign it."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Cheng Jin felt a little regretful as she accepted the document. Looking at the contents of the document, Cheng Jin couldn't help but feel a bit absent-minded. Did she get married like this?

"Any questions?" Gu Chen had been watching Cheng Jin take out the document for a long time. He knitted his brows slightly and lightly said.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Cheng Jin came back to her senses. She subconsciously shook her head, picked up the pen, and wrote her name on the woman's side.

Now that she had nothing left to offer and no longer had any value, Cheng Jin naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

After signing a few documents, Gu Chen took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it over to Cheng Jin.

"This is my secondary card. If you want to buy anything in the future, just buy it. No need to ask me." Gu Chen said lightly, but there was a hint of anger in his voice that could not be refused.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Cheng Jin subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, when she saw his ice-cold eyes, she had no choice but to swallow her words of refusal back down.

"Our relationship has been officially established ever since you signed this document, so there's no need to be courteous." Gu Chen took a long time to lighten his tone. He was no longer as domineering as he was before.

When Cheng Jin heard this, he carefully took the secondary card from Gu Chen. However, when he held it in his hand, he felt an incomparable heaviness.

Too many changes had happened today. First, he got out of prison, saw Gu Chen for a long time, went to see his mother, met Song Wanqiu by chance, and married Gu Chen for a long time …

It was like the ups and downs of his life, Cheng Jin had experienced it all in one day.

At night, Cheng Jin slept in Gu Chen's room. The black bedsheet and the bed cover were somewhat unable to adapt to his sleep.

Having spent more than five years in prison, Cheng Jin was used to hard beds. Now that she suddenly slept in soft beds, it felt like she was back in the beginning of her incarceration.

From time to time, the sound of water could be heard in the bathroom. Cheng Jin kept telling herself to quickly sleep, in case she got embarrassed after waiting for a long time.

The two of them had not seen each other for ten years, but when they met again, they became husband and wife.
