Su Ze did not retort, but he felt that something was off. Not long after, Gu Ruochu arrived with some fruits in her hand. News of Jin Ye's car accident had not been kept a secret. A large number of people had come to visit him, so the ward was filled with all sorts of gifts.
"Why are you sitting up? You should be resting."
"I'm tired of lying down," Jin Ye replied. His heart softened. "You've been filming all day today. You must be tired, right? Sit here."
"I'm fine."
They were like long-lost friends, chatting happily together. Su Ze consciously closed the door and left. For most people, old friends were the best remedy to heal the wounds in their hearts.
"..."
After visiting Jin Ye, Gu Ruochu went home. As she made it to the door, she saw Nanny Zhang and the housekeeper sitting in the garden talking.
"Young Madam!"
The housekeeper stood up and hurriedly left.
"Who's coming?"
"It's Chairman Ning's wife and that idiot Gu Li." Nanny Zhang disliked them both. She did not like the fact that Mrs. Ning was coming over with Gu Li.
It was no secret that the Ning family and the Gu family had a good relationship. The Huo family had rejected Gu Li. That was why the Gu family had brought the Ning family over as reinforcements.
"Oh."
Gu Ruochu did like the two families. She did not enter the main hall and, instead, went straight up the stairs. Gu Ruochu put her bag down and lay down on the bed.
She was tired and soon fell asleep.
Gu Ruochu dreamt that she was running an eight hundred meter race, and her legs felt as if they were filled with lead. Her underwear kept falling off, and she could not fasten it no matter how hard she tried.
She was so angry that she reached out with one hand and grabbed something furry and buried it in her chest. Suddenly, something startled her, and she woke up.
Her chest felt cold, and she realized that there was a large hand on it. Someone was pressing down on her body, and a numbing kiss spread from her neck to her chest.
Gu Ruochu instinctively raised her leg to kick the intruder, but her legs were immediately clamped down. The hot breath tickled her neck and made her shudder.
"Are you going to murder your husband?"
Huo Nanchen continued kissing her passionately.
"Get down!"
Although it was late at night, they had not had their dinner. However, they knew that Mrs. Huo was occupied with the guests.
"Huo Nanchen, let's go downstairs. The others will laugh at me."
"Who would dare laugh at you in front of me?"
"I don't want them to laugh at me behind my back either," Gu Ruochu said as she pushed him and rolled out of bed with a red face. Huo Nanchen reached out his hand to help her.
While at home, she had to guard against him. He was a true love beast.
Gu Ruochu stood in front of the mirror and saw some little marks on her face and neck. She took out her make-up and covered them up.
"Let's go down and eat."
Gu Ruochu wanted to avoid him but his outstretched hand grabbed her. She obediently let him hold her in his arms as they went down the stairs.
"Ruochu, Nanchen."
Mrs. Huo was distracted by Madam Ning. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law, a smile appeared on her face. "Come and eat. You must be hungry."
Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes, seemingly displeased. When Yanwei saw them, she felt like hiding from them and was especially uneasy.
Gu Ruochu ignored them and sat directly next to Mrs. Huo.
Huo Nanchen sat next to her and helped her serve the food.
He placed all of her favorite dishes into her bowl, and it was almost full. Gu Ruochu ate her food hastily. After a little while, she could not eat anymore.
