"Can't you be more obedient?"
Gu Zhicheng spoke helplessly.
Gu Zhicheng was helpless against a woman like Ai Yue who always tried to be brave.
"I don't need it!"
Ai Yue bit her lip and said stubbornly.
In her previous life, she was too weak and always relied on Shen Yangqing. Otherwise, how could she be so easily deceived by him?
She couldn't make the same mistake in her life.
"Am I that unworthy of your trust?"
Gu Zhicheng was furious at Ai Yue for keeping such a distance from him. The two of them were together every day, but he always felt that Ai Yue was someone he couldn't touch.
This was probably the furthest distance in the world.
"I don't need it!"
Ai Yue was angry at Gu Zhicheng for barging in and angry at herself for being so disappointing.
It was to the extent that she said such hurtful words without even thinking.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ai Yue felt that she had said something wrong, but her pride did not allow her to lower her head first.
She did not say anything else.
And there was no answer from Gu Zhicheng as well.
Ai Yue's words instantly froze the air in the room. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"Get up first. Don't catch a cold."
Gu Zhicheng acted as if he hadn't heard what Ai Yue had just said.
He wrapped Ai Yue in a soft towel like a gentleman, scooped her up, and walked quickly to Ai Yue's bed.
Gu Zhicheng quietly put Ai Yue down and left the room without saying a word.
Ai Yue watched Gu Zhicheng leave the room, her heart filled with unease.
This time, she had indeed gone overboard with her words. He must be feeling very upset.
She didn't want to express it that way, but her mouth was faster than her brain, which made Ai Yue very regretful.
"Why would he be unhappy? I should be the one who should be unhappy!"
Ai Yue burrowed into her blanket and buried herself deep in it. Thinking about how she would meet Gu Zhicheng later, Ai Yue didn't know what to do.
"Madam, have you changed your clothes? The noodles will lose their flavor."
Aunt Chen saw that Ai Yue had not come down for a long time, and Young Master Gu had only asked her to come up and shout. She had no choice but to come up and see what was going on.
Why were the two of them acting weird today? The atmosphere felt off.
"Ah, okay, Aunt Chen. I'll be right back!"
After some thought, Ai Yue felt that she should apologize to Gu Zhicheng. She didn't mean it that way, and she didn't want Gu Zhicheng to misunderstand.
Ai Yue got up and quickly changed into her pajamas. Her wet hair hung on her body as she jogged down to the kitchen table.
There was only a bowl of noodles on the table. Aunt Chen was cleaning the kitchen.
"Where's Gu Zhicheng?"
Ai Yue looked around but didn't see Gu Zhicheng. Wasn't he going to eat something?
"Young Master had something to do just now and went out first. Madam, hurry up and eat. It won't taste good later."
When Ai Yue heard that Gu Cheng went out so late at night, she thought he must be angry.
She poked at the noodles in her bowl and ate them mouthful by mouthful as if she was chewing wax.
"Madam, did you quarrel with Young Master?"
Aunt Chen looked at Ai Yue, who was in a daze and had a troubled expression on her face. After thinking for a moment, she asked the question.
Ai Yue looked at Aunt Chen, who was concerned about her, and suddenly felt wronged.
"Gu Zhicheng is too difficult to understand. I don't know him at all, and I don't know how to get along with him."
Ai Yue complained to Aunt Chen. Today was supposed to be a happy day, but why was it so sad today?
"Madam, it's alright."
Aunt Chen patted Ai Yue's back gently as if she was coaxing a child who had run home to complain.
"Young Master's nature isn't bad, and it's just that he doesn't know how to express himself."
Aunt Chen looked at Miss Ai, who had married into the Gu family without any warning, with a loving expression.
To be honest, she was also very shocked when she heard the news.
At that time, Gu Zhicheng came back from outside as usual. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. He had drunk a lot of wine and told Aunt Chen drunkenly.
"She's mine!"
Aunt Chen had no idea what he meant by those random words.
"Young Miss..."
Gu Zhicheng used the back of his hand to cover his clear and bright eyes as he said in a relieved tone.
Aunt Chen looked at Gu Zhicheng and muttered to herself.
"Young Miss? Was she the young lady that I understood?"
When Gu Zhicheng woke up the next day and came down for breakfast, he was as calm as a breeze, as if he was praising the weather today.
"I'm getting married on the 18th of next month."
Aunt Chen held a mouthful of soy milk in her mouth, wondering if she had heard it wrongly.
"With the eldest daughter of the Ai family, Ai Yue."
Gu Zhicheng knew that Aunt Chen would react this way. His mouth curled and he was in a good mood.
Aunt Chen coughed.
When Aunt Chen heard the last sentence, she did not disappoint and coughed out loud. She choked until her nose was covered in tears.
"Young Master, are you joking?"
Aunt Chen did not believe it. Why did they suddenly say that they were getting married? She had never even seen Young Master in a relationship before. Why did they suddenly get married?
She wouldn't believe him no matter what.
"No, I haven't."
"I'm serious. On the 18th of next month."
Gu Zhicheng was in a good mood as he leaned against the back of his chair, his face full of confidence.
"With Ai Yue."
Only then did Aunt Chen realize that Gu Zhicheng wasn't joking.
Before she could decide if she wanted to ask about this in detail, Gu Zhicheng got up and went to the office.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Aunt Chen chased after him and wanted to ask him more questions, but Gu Zhicheng had already gotten into his car and left.
Aunt Chen recalled the expression on Gu Zhicheng's face at that time. It was obvious that he wasn't faking it at all. On the contrary, he was very willing.
This made Aunt Chen realize that the girl who was getting married must be someone her young master liked.
She turned around and looked at Ai Yue's aggrieved face. This was the girl that Young Master liked and wanted to understand him.
"Young Master cares a lot about you, Madam."
Ai Yue raised her head and looked at Auntie Chen in confusion.
Did he care about her?
"Gu Zhicheng doesn't care about me!"
Ai Yue retorted in a low voice.
"He only knows how to be fierce and use brute force against me!"
Ai Yue was furious at the thought of this. Why couldn't they just talk things out nicely? Why did he have to be so rough? Was he a savage?
"Madam, you can try to recall why Young Master was fierce or unreasonable to you."
"He's been like this since he was young. He never tells us what he's thinking in his heart, and he never shows what he likes. It was only when Old Master Gu wanted to give the toy that Young Master liked to someone else that Young Master started to get anxious and quarreled with his grandfather."
Aunt Chen helped Ai Yue analyze why Gu Zhicheng was like this. Ai Yue thought about it carefully and realized that Gu Zhicheng rarely lost his temper or was unreasonable with her.
Aunt Chen watched as Ai Yue fell into deep thought. She couldn't help but sigh at how good it was to be young.
