Chapter 13: Tough Lunch

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What are you doing now?” Mo Xue realized that the moist feeling had already moved from her hand to her arm. Her body was also cold, and the blanket seemed to have been taken away.

“Disinfecting. Where did that female Ultraman who wanted to turn into light touch me? Tell me.” Gu Lian really couldn’t stand his body being defiled. The first thing he did after washing his hands was to tell the caretaker to buy a new bedsheet, blanket, and pillow. Then, he took the disinfectant wipe and towel he bought and personally wiped every inch of his skin.

“Uh, if I tell you, you can’t cut off all the flesh she has touched, right?” Mo Yu asked carefully. She sensed that Gu Lian was not in a good mood.

“I won’t go so far as to cut my own body.” Gu Lian threw the used wet wipes into the trash can and unbuttoned his hospital gown.

Gu Lian looked at his flat stomach and wanted to cry. His muscles had actually disappeared!

Gu Lian seriously wiped his body, while Mo Yu lazily sat and enjoyed the fruits of his labor.

After Gu Lian wiped his body clean and changed his clothes, Mo Yu suddenly said, “Hubby, you’re so awesome! You can’t even bear for me to do work. You really dote on me!”

Gu Lian suddenly remembered. Originally, Mo Yu should have been the one to clean his body, but he was obsessed with cleanliness and did it himself.

Gu Lian was so angry that he wanted to throw the towel away. The next second, he heard a knock on the door.

“Ms. Mo, Madam invites you to lunch.”

Gu Lian smiled coldly and turned to walk out. “You didn’t work. I should be the one eating lunch…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Lian returned to his body.

Mo Yu’s happy voice sounded again. “Hubby, mwah! It’s been hard on you, but the initiative is in my hands, hahahahaha!”

Gu Lian fell silent.

Mo Yu originally thought that it would be a simple lunch, but she did not expect everyone from the Gu family to arrive. They sat in their seats and waited for her to come over for lunch.

This was the first time Mo Yu had officially met her in-laws. Her originally happy footsteps stopped at the door.

“Hubby, I seem to have encountered some trouble.” Mo Yu looked at the table full of people and was suddenly unsure if she should go in.

“Little Yu, why are you standing outside? Come in quickly!” Su Mei’s eyesight was extremely good. She immediately saw Mo Yu standing at the door and pulled her into the dining room affectionately.

“You don’t have to worry. Today is just to get to know the elders in the family. You should eat and drink as much as you want. Don’t feel burdened.” Su Mei was still comforting her. She pulled her in and sat down.

Unlike the long table at the banquet yesterday, the family gathered at a round table. The main seat was the founder of the Gu family, Gu Lian’s grandfather, Gu Lin. Beside him were Father Gu and Gu Chen. Beside them were their respective wives, and the rest were juniors.

Beside Mo Yu were Su Mei and Gu Zi.

Mo Yu was in a difficult position. She braced herself and greeted everyone. Then, she sat quietly and begged Gu Lian for help in her heart.

“Hubby, there are so many people. What should I do!”

“As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later. You’re on your own.” Gu Lian comforted her indifferently and stopped talking.

Soon, Mo Yu knew why Gu Lian was silent.

This lunch was not as simple as letting Mo Yu meet his family. It also involved the replacement of the head of the Gu family.

Gu Zi firmly believed that his brother would wake up, so the company should keep his board seat. Meanwhile, Gu Chen kept talking about the contracts he had signed recently and his future prospects. He said that if Gu Lian woke up, he would give the seat to him, but everyone could tell that he was certain that Gu Lian would not wake up again.

The other juniors did not say anything or interrupt. They only knew how to eat with their heads lowered. Old Master Gu smiled and watched them argue without saying a word.

What a ruthless character. Mo Yu picked up a piece of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root and suddenly wanted to show it off to Gu Lian.

“Hubby, this osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root is so delicious! I really want you to try it too.”

Mo Yu wheedled coquettishly. Then, she heard Gu Lian’s reply, “Unfortunately, I can’t eat it. Little Yu, do you really want me to try it?”

Gu Lian’s voice was very pleasant, like a cello. His deliberately lowered voice suddenly resonated in his mind. Mo Yu’s scalp went numb from this intimate “Little Yu”, and she subconsciously replied, “Yes, I really want hubby to come eat it!”
