Chapter 17: Red Tulips

Guiyuan

Xiang Wanqiao left Gu’s Group and drove back to this familiar yet strange place. She used to hate this cage that made her lose her freedom.

She was always thinking about escaping from this villa and leaving Gu Jingzhan.

But now, she took the initiative to return, with different ideas from before. When Wang Ma saw Xiang Wanqiao standing at the door of the house, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately went forward to greet her tremblingly: Miss, you are back.

Xiang Wanqiao came back to her senses, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and she shouted at her, Wang Ma.

Miss…Miss… Wang Ma suddenly felt dazed. This… Why does it feel like Xiang Wanqiao has become a different person?

Wasn’t she still arguing with her husband about divorce two days ago? It even reached the point of cutting her wrists and committing suicide. The scene at that time was really shocking, and it’s still a bit scary to think about it now.

Azhan and I are a legal couple with a certificate. In the future, you should call me your wife or madam, and don’t call me Miss anymore. It’s not appropriate, Xiang Wanqiao corrected.

In the past six months of marriage, she had been unwilling to admit her marriage with Gu Jingzhan. In addition, she was in love with Xiao Xuan, the scumbag, so she had expressly forbidden the servants in Guiyuan to call her Madam or Madam.

Gu Jingzhan knew that she didn’t want to, and didn’t force her, so he had to follow her wishes.

Hearing this, Wang Ma became even more dazed.

Madam… Madam. She called out tentatively.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled and agreed, and then said shockingly, Wang Ma, let someone help me move all the things in the guest room to the master bedroom later.

Ah? Wang Ma couldn’t believe what she heard and opened her mouth blankly to confirm with her again. Madam, what you just meant is that you want to move all your things in the guest room to your husband’s room?

Yes! Xiang Wanqiao nodded to confirm. Ah Zhan and I are husband and wife; shouldn’t husband and wife sleep together?

When Wang Ma heard her say that, she immediately smiled and agreed, Yes, yes, husband and wife should sleep together. I will immediately ask someone to help you move your things to your husband’s room.

After that, she quickly arranged for several people to move the things.

After arranging things, Wang Ma turned her attention back to Xiang Wanqiao, looking at her calmly.

It seems that this escape from death has really changed Madam.

Thinking of this, Wang Ma spoke for Gu Jingzhan in front of her: Madam, don’t blame Wang Ma for saying something extra. In fact, the husband really loves you. He…

I know. Xiang Wanqiao knew what Wang Ma wanted to say. Don’t worry, I won’t make trouble with Ah Zhan anymore.

Wang Ma looked at her with relief, and her words were a little excited: Okay, okay, as long as you can figure it out and live a good life with the husband.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled slightly, Wang Ma, take me around; I want to get familiar with this place again.

Okay.

After walking around, they finally walked to the back garden.

What caught her eye was a field of tulips with rotten roots.

Previously, in order to avenge Gu Jingzhan for marrying her in a despicable way and forcibly separating her and Xiao Xuan, Xiang Wanqiao deliberately watered the tulips to death just to make him unhappy.

Because that was Gu Jingzhan’s favorite flower.

Seeing Xiang Wanqiao staring at the tulips in a trance, Wang Ma whispered, The master sat here for a whole night, just quietly looking at the ruined tulips. I wanted someone to dispose of them the next day and replant them, but the master wouldn’t let me.

He said…

Wang Ma was about to speak but stopped.

Xiang Wanqiao choked up and asked, What did he say?

The master said that even if it is replanted, it will still be destroyed. As long as the tulip in his heart continues to bloom, it is enough.

The red tulip represents passionate love and confession of love, symbolizing I love you.

The tulip he was talking about was her.

In his past and present lives, he has been longing for her love.

But in his past life, she woke up too late.

Xiang Wanqiao raised her head, took a deep breath, and held back the tears that kept rolling in her eyes.

She said, Auntie Wang, have someone clean up all the damaged tulips tomorrow and turn the soil over again. I will plant the tulips myself.

Okay, ma’am. I’ll have someone clean up the damaged tulips tomorrow morning.

Then, Xiang Wanqiao instructed, Don’t tell Ah Zhan about this. I want to give him a surprise.

Auntie Wang smiled with relief and nodded, Okay, ma’am. I’ll ask the people below to keep it a secret for you.

You must keep it a secret. Start the work when he’s not at home.

Don’t worry about me. Auntie Wang asked casually, Are you still planting red tulips?

Yes.

It was a little after five in the afternoon.

Gu Jingzhan was processing documents on the table in his office when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it from the side. It was Auntie Wang calling.

Gu Jingzhan frowned slightly, then swiped the answer button and said in a cold tone, What’s the matter?

Sir, my wife had everyone move all the things to the master bedroom after returning to Guiyuan. My wife went to the kitchen now and said she would cook for you personally.

Aunt Wang secretly reported Xiang Wanqiao’s situation in Guiyuan to Gu Jingzhan, except that she kept her promise about the tulip incident.

Gu Jingzhan’s mouth curled up slightly when he heard it, and the cold aura around him gradually faded away.

His tone softened, and he ordered, Watch her and don’t let her get hurt.

Yes, sir.

At the end, Aunt Wang said something more.

Sir, please come back early in the evening and don’t let my wife wait too long.

Madam? Gu Jingzhan only realized this title now.

Yes, my wife said that she and you have already obtained a marriage certificate, and it is not appropriate to call her Miss, Aunt Wang said to him with a smile.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Jingzhan’s eyes. Did she tell you that?

Yes, Aunt Wang said. Sir, the madam seems to have become a different person now.

The look in Gu Jingzhan’s eyes was somewhat unfathomable, and his slender fingers tapped the desk surface one by one.

Since Xiang Wanqiao woke up from the hospital, she seemed to have become a different person. She no longer quarreled with him, nor did she mention divorce to him, and she also said that she wanted to live a good life with him.

In the past two days, he has been forcing himself to believe and not doubt every word she said.

But she has loved Xiao Xuan’an for so long and loved him so passionately; how could she say she doesn’t love him anymore.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jingzhan spoke slowly, Whatever she says is what it is; just follow her meaning.

Understood.
