Chapter 75: I Will Fulfill My Duties as a Wife

“Huh??” Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, was he referring to the rumors in the village?

“I won’t be with a man who has given up on me, no matter what his difficulties are.” Su Wan explained, after all, they live under the same roof: “You were forced to marry me, we reluctantly became a couple, we may part ways in the future, but as long as I bear the title of Mrs. Gu, I will fulfill my duties as a wife, I won’t mess around with the relationship between men and women, this is the most basic moral bottom line.”

Gu Huaizhi’s gaze was cold, she would not marry the crown prince, but she would also not stay in the Gu family, she had already planned to part ways.

“If you have a girl you like, you can tell me, I can vacate my position.” Su Wan patted Gu Huaizhi’s shoulder with her hand.

Gu Huaizhi shook her hand off his shoulder, the corner of his lips hooked up in a cold and mocking smile: “Since the establishment of the Gu clan, marriages have been till death do us part, there is no talk of divorce or repudiation of wives, unless one party dies.”

Su Wan quickly retorted: “Can I divorce my husband?”

Gu Huaizhi’s face was tense, he smiled without smiling: “You can try.”

Crack——

The roast duck bone broke with a sound, crisp enough to make one’s heart tremble.

Su Wan stared at the roast duck in Gu Huaizhi’s hand that he had crushed. His gaze glanced over, and her neck was cold, as if she dared to divorce her husband, this man would break her neck.

Su Wan couldn’t understand Gu Huaizhi. He clearly agreed to marry due to Mother Gu’s pressure, and he obviously had a guard against her, yet he still refused to divorce?

What was he after?

Seeing him disappear at the entrance of the main room, Su Wan suddenly remembered that Gu Jingyun had an exam tomorrow, and she still had something to ask him.

She followed into the main room, and saw the roast duck on the table. The bamboo basket was placed at the foot of the table, she hurriedly went to Gu Huaizhi’s room, pushing open the door that was not tightly closed.

“Gu Huaizhi…” Su Wan suddenly stopped talking after seeing clearly what was going on inside

The man stood by the bed, his fingers wet with water droplets, unbuckling his belt. The tightly buttoned collar suddenly loosened, revealing a smooth line from his lower jaw to his delicate collarbone.

Su Wan was caught off guard by this beautiful scene and swallowed her saliva.

Gu Huaizhi seemed not to hear, his expression focused, he slowly took off his outer shirt, followed by his undergarment……

“Bang——”

Su Wan quickly closed the door, and her heart pounding rapidly.

Heat kept surging to the top of her head, all she could think of was the long neck and sexy collarbone she had just seen, as if tempting someone to take a bite, leaving a row of teeth marks.

Su Wan gritted her teeth, and suddenly a thought popped into her head, it seemed like it wouldn’t be impossible to spend a lifetime together?

With a “creak”, the door behind her opened.

Su Wan awkwardly turned her head, facing the man’s cold face. He had changed into an old robe. She chuckled and said, “Gu Huaizhi, your younger brother is going to take an exam at Xihe Academy tomorrow.”

Gu Huaizhi’s face was expressionless, he nodded slightly, bypassed Su Wan and went straight to the kitchen.

Su Wan bit her lip, feeling that she had annoyed this man.

Thinking that this man really treated her as his wife, even bought her roast duck, and when he came back and heard that she wanted to run away with a wild man, and she also wanted to leave at any time, wasn’t that a bit unkind?

Su Wan guiltily slipped into the kitchen, Gu Huaizhi scooped two ladles of flour into a basin, looking like he was going to make dough, her conscience hurt a bit.

“Sister-in-law, you’re here!” Gu Baozhu lifted her little face and said crisply, “Big brother and second brother sleep in one room, second brother is going to study at the academy soon. If they live together, big brother will disturb his studies. Everyone says that a married couple should live in one room, will you live with big brother?”

A thunderbolt struck, and Su Wan looked at Gu Baozhu in horror.

The Gu family only had three rooms, Gu Baozhu lived with Mother Gu, Gu Jingyun lived with Gu Huaizhi, and she occupied one room by herself.

“Okay.” Gu Huaizhi agreed, then looked at Su Wan with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “You fulfill your duties as a wife, I should also fulfill my duties as a husband.”

That, that doesn’t have to start with sharing a room, right??

Su Wan hesitated: “You don’t have to force yourself.”

“Are you forcing yourself?” Gu Huaizhi countered.

“Uh…” Su Wan chuckled.

Isn’t that obvious?

“Sister-in-law, I’m going to help big brother move things with second brother.” The two little guys didn’t wait for Su Wan to refuse, they put down the basin in their hands, ran out of the kitchen, squatted at the door, and made faces at Gu Huaizhi.

Big brother, we can only help this much.

The rest is up to you!

Gu Huaizhi: “……”

Every strand of Su Wan’s hair was filled with awkwardness, facing Gu Huaizhi alone, it felt weird no matter what.

It seemed that ever since the two little guys suggested that she and Gu Huaizhi live together, the two innocent men and women became impure.

“Cough…” Su Wan asked in a negotiating tone: “Gu Huaizhi, what do you think… these kids shouldn’t be spoiled too much?”

Gu Huaizhi glanced at her with a cold gaze: “They didn’t dare to act recklessly in front of you before.”

Alright, she’s used to it.

Gu Huaizhi looked her up and down: “You don’t have to worry about what I’ll do to you, I haven’t reached the point of desperation yet.”

Su Wan followed his gaze, and silently looked at her own ample chest.

Estimated to be a C cup.

He actually thinks it’s small??

Su Wan felt insulted and scoffed, “It’s just sharing a room, who knows who will be at a disadvantage.”

Gu Huaizhi: “……”

Having said that, Su Wan was quite timid.

She had never had a boyfriend in her previous life, let alone share a bed with a man.

After dinner, she took her machete and carried a bamboo basket to the mountains to gather herbs.

When it got dark and she came down from the mountain, she hastily finished dinner, then hid in the utility room to process the herbs. She was restless, occasionally peeping out the window to see if the oil lamp in her room was still lit. It wasn’t until midnight that the light in the room finally went out.

She let out a sigh of relief, she couldn’t dawdle any longer, otherwise, Gu Huaizhi would definitely laugh at her.

Estimating that Gu Huaizhi should be asleep, she took her clothes off the bamboo pole and went to take a bath. She tiptoed to open the door and slowly poked her head in.

Gu Huaizhi was lazily leaning against the head of the bed, with one leg bent and a book on his leg. His eyes were lowered, and the hazy moonlight shrouded his face, making his side profile softer.

He heard the noise and turned his head to look.

The two of them stared at each other.

“Hi——” Su Wan raised a hand and waved, dryly saying, “What a coincidence, you’re not asleep yet.”

“It’s not a coincidence.” Gu Huaizhi closed the book, lifted his hand to uncover the square wooden box that was upside down on the bedside table.

The dim light filled the room. Su Wan, who was hidden in the dark, had nowhere to hide, all the subtle expressions on her face were exposed under his gaze.

Gu Huaizhi’s lips curled up, “Waiting for you.”

Su Wan’s face fell, this dog man deliberately caught her in the act?

She was angry and embarrassed, but Gu Huaizhi didn’t care, what was she being dramatic about?

Su Wan kicked off her shoes, deliberately climbed over Gu Huaizhi to get inside, hoping to annoy him.

Suddenly, the man put down his bent leg, Su Wan’s elbow that was propped on the bed bent, and she fell into his arms due to the unstable center of gravity.
