C13 Unhappy!

"Right, where are my parents?"

Gu Zi Chen followed behind Grandma Gu and Chu Xiaoqing into the living room. He looked around the house before asking Granny Gu a question.

"Your father is handling some matters in the study upstairs. Your mother knows that you are back, so she personally cooked for you."

Granny Gu responded with a smile.

Hearing his grandmother's words, Gu Zi Chen nodded and sat down on a nearby sofa, not saying anything further.

"Oh right, Chuchu. How is it? Have you been working well? "Also, did that brat, Ah Chen, bully you?"

After Grandma Gu pulled Chu Xiaoqing to sit on the sofa, she hurriedly asked with concern.

She was the one who had made the decision on the marriage between Gu Zi Chen and Chu Xiaoqing back then. How could she not know that Gu Zi Chen was extremely repulsed and detested by both Chu Xiaoqing and the marriage?

Because of this, Granny Gu was even more concerned that Gu Zi Chen had bullied Chu Xiaoqing. If she discovered any clues, Gu Zi Chen would unavoidably reprimand her!

"The work is pretty good. Don't worry, Grandmother. As for Aachen …"

When Chu Xiaoqing mentioned this, everything that had happened between her and Gu Zi Chen seemed to have been a movie as it appeared in her mind.

Bullying? There didn't seem to be any …

Ever since she had married Gu Zi Chen, he had never fought against her. How could this be considered bullying?

However …

All this time, in order to not worry Granny Gu, Chu Xiaoqing had never mentioned in front of Grandma Gu that her relationship with Gu Zi Chen was not good. Since she had hidden it from them so many times, it was not as bad as this time.

As she thought of this, Chu Xiaqing raised her head and looked at Grandma Gu with a smile as she spoke like a spoiled child.

"Grandmother, every time you come back, you ask Aachen if he has bullied me. "Don't worry, I'm fine with Aachen!"

After she finished speaking, Chu Xiaoqing pretended to look sweetly at Gu Zi Chen, not thinking about the loneliness and helplessness in her eyes. She thought that aside from herself, no one else would be able to notice …

Gu Zi Chen was sitting at the side, bored out of his mind and playing with his phone, when his grandmother's sudden question caught his attention in an instant.

Every time he returned with Chu Xiaoqing, his grandma would habitually ask about it …

For some reason, every time his grandma asked this question, Gu Zi Chen would feel strange inside. He couldn't quite put his finger on his phone, but his hand, which had been holding the phone so casually, would unconsciously tighten up. She was very afraid of Chu Xiaqing's following reply.

Even though he knew that Chu Xiaqing would not speak carelessly of him, he still felt uneasy in his heart … Thinking about everything that had happened between him and Chu Xiaoqing, and thinking about how she had been hysterical that rainy night, for the first time, Gu Zi Chen felt pain in his heart …

"Is that so? That's good, that's good. Grandma, I'm relieved."

After hearing what Chu Xiaoqing said, Grandma Gu was obviously very happy. She pulled Chu Xiaoqing's hand and tried to reply to her.

"That... Grandma, I'm going upstairs to put some things away. Please sit down for a while, I'll come down later to chat with you. "

When Granny Gu heard Chu Xiaoqing's words, she also nodded her head, indicating that Chu Xiaoqing should hurry up and do what she needed to do.

With Granny Gu's permission, Chu Xiaqing stood up with a smile and went upstairs …

It was just to pack some things, and the time was approaching the end of the month. Although she did not leave many things here, it was about time to tidy up and pack them up when the time came.

With the small amount of items and the fact that Chu Xiaoqing was tidying up quite quickly, it only took her fifteen minutes to finish all of them in that short period of time.

She looked at her phone and felt that it was about time to eat too. Chu Xiaoqing didn't dare to dawdle and opened the door to go downstairs …

Chu Xiaqing lowered her head and walked down the stairs. She was so focused on the road that she didn't notice the person coming towards her. It was only when a familiar voice called out to her that she caught her attention.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law!"

When she heard someone calling her, she quickly raised her head and looked towards the source of the voice. She saw Gu Zifan standing opposite her, dressed in a light gray sports attire. He had short, simple, and clean hair with a tinge of bangs.

"Zi Fan, you're home!"

When Chu Xiaqing saw that it was Gu Zifan, she instantly relaxed a bit. Following that, she smiled and responded to Gu Zifan.

"That's right. Either that, or I'll be at home at this time of day. What's more, you came back with my brother today. Where else can I go if not here?"

Gu Zifan shrugged casually and replied.

"That's not necessarily the case. You might go out and make an appointment or something. You're not that old anyway, it's time to find a partner."

Chu Xiaqing tilted her head, feigning to think deeply. Only then did she tease Gu Zifan.

"Alright, alright, please spare me. I'm too busy working right now, how can I be in the mood to busy myself with women."

As he said that, Gu Zifan waved his hands towards Chu Xiaqing, rejecting her.

Seeing Gu Zifan's evasive look, Chu Xiaoqing couldn't help but giggle. Perhaps she was really happy. When Chu Xiaoqing laughed, her eyes were like crescent moons.

Gu Zifan looked at the smiling Chu Xiaoqing, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up. In the deepest part of his eyes, there was a hidden emotion. It was a trace of a pampering that even made his heart ache …

However, all of this had been well hidden by Gu Zifan, and Chu Xiaoqing hadn't discovered it at all.

That's right, he had been hiding for more than ten years now. If it was anyone else, they would have been able to do the same …

"Chen, go upstairs and check if Chuchu has finished cleaning up. If she has, call her down for dinner."

As Granny Gu spoke, she gestured for Gu Zi Chen to go upstairs and call Chu Xiaoqing down.

Hearing his grandmother's words, Gu Zi Chen didn't hesitate at all. He stood up from the sofa without a word and walked upstairs.

However, the moment he got to the second floor, he saw Chu Xiaqing and Gu Zifan standing face to face in the corridor. He didn't know what they were talking about, but Chu Xiaqing was smiling beautifully.

Actually, even Gu Zi Chen himself didn't know what he was thinking. Gu Zi Fan and Chu Xiaqing were standing together, talking and laughing, and he was feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

Others might not know, but Gu Zi Chen was not an idiot. He had already seen through Gu Zifan's intentions even before he had married Chu Xiaoqing.

Gu Zifan felt that he liked Chu Xiaqing more than anyone else, but he could not hide it from Gu Zi Chen!

The more he thought about it, the darker Gu Zi Chen's expression became. It was as if the next second would be filled with ink.

On the other side, Gu Zifan and Chu Xiaqing had not noticed Gu Zi Chen's arrival at all. They continued to chat and laugh with one another.

"Wife, Grandma told you to go downstairs to eat!"

In the next second, Gu Zi Chen did not say anything else and shouted towards Chu Xiaoqing.
