"It's Mom's birthday tonight, there's a banquet at home and many people are invited." Jian Jialang answered instantly and then asked. "Will you come along, Brother-in-law?"
Jian Sangyu pinched Jian Jialang's arm instantly after he asked the question, making his face twist.
"Give me a minute, I will take a shower and get changed." Gu Chen said without hesitation, turned around and entered the room.
It was a different matter if he didn't know or remember the date, but now he was back and knew of his mother-in-law's birthday; he, as the son-in-law, was definitely going to do what he was supposed to do out of respect.
Seeing Gu Chen entering the room, Jian Sangyu let out a sigh of relief. But she did it too soon because a few seconds later Gu Chen returned. He stood in the dining room and watched Jian Sangyu who had her back-facing him as he noticed her back.
Only now did Gu Chen realize that he wasn't delusional. The dress that Jian Sangyu was wearing had not only exposed her legs but also totally revealed her back with only a thin layer of veiling covering it. As a result, her jade-like back was shown in a very implicit, yet beautiful way.
"Jian Sangyu, come and change the dress."
He was calling her by her full name in an ordering tone.
"I object!"
Jian Sangyu was not pleased by what she was asked to do. She could get changed any other time, but not today! She must be in this dress today!
Hearing that Jian Sangyu turned down Gu Chen without hesitation, Jian Jialang gave her a thumbs up. Oh God, no wonder she was Gu Chen's wife, she had the boldness for it!
Gu Chen frowned. He walked out of the bedroom and carried Jian Sangyu all the way back into the bedroom as if he were carrying a rug-bag. Then he slammed the door, put Jian Sangyu to the bed, grabbed out a white gown and tossed it over to her. "Get changed."
Having said his instructions, he went into the attached bathroom in the bedroom to shower.
Jian Sangyu was dumbfounded after being carried in like this. She slammed the bed out of anger.
She took a look at the gown she had planned to wear today, rolled the expensive dress up with teeth clenched and stuffed it under the bed. As she heard water splashing down in the bathroom, she instantly grabbed her makeup kit and started to put on some makeup.
Jian Jialang could not help but praise her after he saw her putting on the lipstick. "Sis, you look extremely pretty today. Why did you always wear those old aunty style clothes and never wear makeup? You didn't even use lipstick!"
"Because Gu Chen did not like it." Jian Sangyu replied briefly, put the lipstick back into the bag, scooped up hee cell phone and texted Gu Chen, telling him that they were waiting for him downstairs in the parking lot.
Jian Sangyu might be brave enough to come down alone, but she was not yet brave enough to leave without him. It was not only about divorce, but because Gu Chen was indeed scary when he lost his temper.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was looking for the both of them. He had failed to see the red gown Jian Sangyu was supposed to replace, and he had also failed to see the both of them.
It was not until he picked up his phone did he realize that the two were already waiting for him downstairs in the parking lot. He got changed and walked out. When he saw Jian Jialang taking up the passenger's seat, Gu Chen pulled open the door of the backseat and went into the car.
Hearing the sound of the door shutting, Jian Sangyu started the car instantly. She threw a discreet look at Gu Chen through the reflection in the front mirror, trying to see what expression Gu Chen was wearing after knowing that she was not dressed accordingly to his orders.
Excellent, Gu Chen was staring at her with a sunken face as if he were thinking about tossing her back home.
The car was already outside the compound and Gu Chen was still silent. He was sitting with his back straight in the back seat. Dressed in a suit instead of uniform, he looked very much like a high-level officer who was about to conduct an inspection somewhere.
He was so intimidating that even Jian Jialang quit his game, put away his cell phone into his pocket and sat obediently in the passenger's seat.
There was some traffic on the road, so when the car arrived at the Jian Family, the villa was already full of people. The Jian Family's servants recognized Jian Sangyu's car, so the moment Jian Sangyu's car pulled in, someone came over to them.
