Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Chasing Wife to the Crematorium Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Chasing Wife to the Crematorium At last, everyone came to a sudden realization and said, “Could this be Captain Gu’s older brother?”

“No way, Yuanyuan said her husband is an old man, like an old bull eating tender grass.”

“That can’t be right. Think about it, Captain Gu is so handsome, how ugly could his brother be? They’re both born of the same mother; one can’t be like Wu Song and the other like Wu Dalang, right? Did we misunderstand before?”

While the other sisters-in-law were dazzled by Gu Cheng, only Sister Hong remained clear-headed, “Don’t forget how he treats Yuanyuan just because he’s handsome. He has women on the side and bullies Yuanyuan, have you forgotten?

Then the sisters-in-law snapped back to reality.

Right, what does it matter if he looks good, being handsome can’t fill your stomach.

These past few days, they had taken quite a lot of Zhou Yuan’s skincare products and lipsticks, and were definitely on Yuanyuan’s side.

Gu Cheng entered the room and saw only Su Meixi and Gu Wei.

The two were cooking.

“Where’s Zhou Yuan?” Gu Cheng asked.

He couldn’t wait to see his Little Tangyuan.

Gu Wei pointed at the small room next to the dining hall, “She’s inside.”

Gu Cheng didn’t like the look of the room, “Why is she staying in such a small room? Isn’t this a maid’s room?”

Having been brainwashed by Su Meixi these past few days, Gu Wei also had some complaints about his brother, “Who told you not to take good care of your wife? My Ah Xi would never run away from home for no reason, but your Zhou Yuan has already run away from home twice!”

Su Meixi quietly gave Gu Wei a thumbs up, then served him a freshly cooked sweet and sour pork rib as a sign of praise.

Gu Cheng looked at the maid’s room door and knocked.

No one answered.

He twisted the doorknob forcefully—it was locked from the inside.

“Yuanyuan, are you there?” Gu Cheng asked.

A grumpy voice came from inside, “I’m not!”

The corners of Gu Cheng’s mouth lifted; his little wife was indeed angry.

But what to do if she wouldn’t open the door?

As Su Meixi and Gu Wei finished cooking, Su Meixi carried the sweet and sour pork ribs to the table, then called into Zhou Yuan’s room, “Yuanyuan, your sweet and sour pork ribs are ready. Do you want to come out and eat? I added pineapple especially.”

Zhou Yuan immediately opened the door.

She rushed to the dining table without even giving a glance at Gu Cheng at the door, “Wow, it looks delicious. Sister Su, did you make this?”

Su Meixi pointed at Gu Wei, “He made it.”

“Not bad at all.”

Su Meixi then served Zhou Yuan a bowl of rice, “If you’re hungry, eat first.”

After all, Zhou Yuan was pregnant, not just pregnant but also a sister-in-law, who counted as an elder.

Su Meixi then said to Gu Cheng, “Big brother, wash your hands and eat first.”

Gu Cheng’s gaze was still on Zhou Yuan.

He felt that she seemed a bit different, her waist seemed to have grown a bit, perhaps because the food here was good, and she had gained weight?

Her face also seemed fuller.

But she kept ignoring him as if he were invisible.

He helplessly went to wash his hands, then prepared to sit next to Zhou Yuan. However, Zhou Yuan immediately said, “This seat is for Sister Su!”

Gu Cheng: “…”

Regardless, seeing her today still made him pretty happy, a very solid feeling.

It didn’t matter whether she was angry or not.

After the meal, Su Meixi and Gu Wei hung up little colored lights in the room and tied the inflated balloons to the walls to create an atmosphere.

Gu Cheng couldn’t help asking, “Are you doing all this… to welcome me?”

Su Meixi laughed lightly, “Not really, Big Brother, why don’t you let Gu Wei tell you.”

Gu Wei then told Gu Cheng about the matters concerning the Fang siblings.

Gu Cheng’s first reaction, “So, you’re saying there’s no spare room in your house?”

No wonder Zhou Yuan had to stay in the maid’s room.

Gu Wei asked, “Big Brother, do you also plan to stay here?”

Gu Cheng glanced at Zhou Yuan, “Whenever Yuanyuan goes back, I’ll go back too.”

Zhou Yuan, sitting on the sofa eating fruit, rolled her eyes inwardly, Humph, I’m not going back. I don’t believe you’d leave your business to stay with me!

Su Meixi and Gu Wei didn’t think Gu Cheng could stay very long.

Maybe he could coax Zhou Yuan back in a couple of days?

For the first time, Gu Wei felt the Military District’s small villa also wasn’t big enough.

That night was Fang Xia’s birthday.

Fang Xia and Fang Shuai invited their young friends over, and the adults set up the venue and prepared delicious food, then let the kids play on their own.

Later, to avoid any lulls, Zhou Yuan led them in a song.

The siblings knew Zhou Yuan played the piano well, but didn’t know she was also such a good singer. After Zhou Yuan sang once, the children wanted her to sing a second song.

Zhou Yuan ended up singing three songs, almost all of them a cappella.

Gu Cheng sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on Zhou Yuan.

How had he never noticed before, how nice his little wife sang, much better than Li Zhen back in the day. More importantly, her singing had a charm that drew people in unconsciously.

During her singing, his smile never faded.

…

Su Meixi threw this birthday party for the siblings partly because she genuinely wanted them to be happy, and also to clear up some rumors that Bao Min had spread a while ago.

The first goal was achieved.

The second goal was actually superfluous since Zhou Yuan was around, and she had already been spreading the good things Su Meixi did for the siblings.

“One room per sibling, and here I am, the sister-in-law, sleeping in the maid’s room.”

“Sister Su used to be a doctor, her hands were meant for surgical needles, not cooking. After the siblings arrived, she started cooking daily, I don’t know how many times she burned herself, the siblings felt sorry for Sister Su so they rushed to do the chores, speaking of chores, which kid doesn’t do them? When I was their age, I even had to take care of the family’s pets.”

“Sister Su also helps with homework. With so many biological parents out there losing their temper over homework, my Sister Su never once lost her temper. Of course, the siblings are smart, but it still shows how good Sister Su’s temperament really is.”

…

Early in the morning.

Gu Cheng woke up very early.

He had slept on the living room sofa last night.

No choice, Zhou Yuan still treated him like air, completely ignoring him. With no rooms upstairs, he had to sleep on the sofa.

The sofa was a bit short and too soft, sinking deeply when he lay on it, which made his back sore.

He glanced at Zhou Yuan’s room door, tightly closed with no sign of activity inside, she probably hadn’t woken up yet.

Soon, people in the house began waking up one after another. Su Meixi got up to make breakfast for the siblings, who went to school after eating.

Gu Wei had to return to the training base today, usually based in the mountains and only coming back on weekends.

Gu Cheng ate a simple breakfast then returned to the sofa to wait for Zhou Yuan.
