Love After Marriage - Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Disappointment
Lu Jingxiu looked at Gu Ziming’s back. Her feet were weak and she sat on the sofa. She covered her eyes with both hands. Her eyes were slightly red, and the tears in her eyes uncontrollably flowed down.

The servants stood motionless and didn’t even dare to breathe.

After a while, Lu Jingxiu came to the second floor again. She did not see Gu Zihao. When she saw that there were a few clothes missing from the wardrobe, a heavy look flashed in her eyes.

After Ji Baining left the hospital, she staggered along the road. In the end, she took a bus. As for where she went, she didn’t know.

She just wanted to get away from the city that made her depressed.

Today’s events made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she unconsciously fell asleep in the back row.

Until–

“Beauty, we’ve arrived at our destination. It’s time to get off!” The driver poked Ji Baining’s arm and shouted.

After a while, Ji Baining slowly opened his confused eyes. He looked up at the driver and asked hoarsely, “Are you there?”

“We’re here, we’re here. Get off the car quickly. I have to get off work too!” The driver nodded.

“Oh–” Ji Baining slowly got up and staggered forward. He had just taken a few steps when he almost fell to the ground. The driver quickly supported her and said, “Are you alright?”

Ji Baining waved his hand in the air and said, “It’s fine. Thank you.”

After Ji Baining got off the car, she raised her head to look at the unfamiliar surroundings. A few black lines were drawn on her forehead. She reached out and patted her head, “How stupid! Why didn’t you ask where this place is?”

Ji Baining had no choice but to lift his foot and continue walking forward. After walking for half an hour, he did not see a figure.

“What kind of place is this that doesn’t shit?” Ji Baining muttered to himself.

At this moment, a tattered motorcycle passed by her. The owner saw Ji Baining’s body shaking and kindly stopped to ask, “Beauty, do you need me to give you a ride?”

“What kind of place is this?” Ji Baining looked up at the young man and asked.

When the man saw the other party’s appearance, his face revealed a wisp of surprise. His heart pounded like a deer, as if it was about to burst out.

The woman wore a pure white off-the-shoulder dress. Her beautiful collarbone could be vaguely seen. The material of the dress was so white that it seemed transparent and slightly reflected light. It was like the wings of an angel, but it was not exposed at all.

The hem of the skirt was curved from low to high. It was gracefully curled up, revealing the woman’s slender white legs that were as white as jade. The slowest diamonds on the corners of the skirt were like countless beautiful morning dews.

The woman’s seaweed-like hair was scattered on her shoulders. Her pure white face did not have the slightest hint of blood, but it did not hinder her beauty at all. Her faint eyebrows, delicate nose, purple lips, and her calm eyes seemed to contain an ocean of bottomless melancholy.

The man’s heart ached when he saw the pain between Ji Baining’s eyebrows. He slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to help calm the woman’s pain.

However, when he thought of the fact that the two of them had never known each other before and had retracted back, the corners of the man’s lips revealed a trace of mockery. Since when did he like to meddle in other people’s affairs!

“This is Yankou, where did you come from?” The man asked.

“Yankou, what is that place? Is it far from River City?” Ji Baining tilted his head and said.

“It’s three hours away. You’re from River City!” However, before the man could reply, Ji Baining fainted.

The man hurriedly picked Ji Baining up. He looked around and didn’t know what to do!

In the end, he could only put Ji Baining in front of him, and the man carefully drove the car.

The man smelled the woman’s fragrant hair and ripples splashed in the depths of his heart. His eyes flashed and he almost fell down.

It was not easy for the man to get home.

“Ah Lin is back. Eh, who is that in your arms?” The middle-aged woman walked out and asked.

‘”She fainted on the road, so…” The man named Ah Lin blushed and said embarrassedly.

“Hurry up and carry her in. Put her on the bed and lie flat.” The middle-aged woman said.

“Alright, then I’ll go in!” Ali nodded.

“Go, go!” The woman waved her hand and said.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, night fell. The naughty little star drew a golden brilliance in the dark orchid night sky, like a weaver throwing a brocade thread.

At this moment, Ji Baining faintly opened his eyes. The room was pitch-black, and he could not even see his fingers.

Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly got out of bed. Immediately after, she heard a’bang ‘sound. Ji Baining crashed into something and fell to the ground.

Hearing the sound inside, Ah Lin hurriedly ran in and turned on the light. Seeing Ji Baining’s pale face, he reached out and scratched his head. He was a little embarrassed and said, “Sorry, I forgot to turn on the light for you!”

Ji Baining saw that the man had some impression of him, as if she had seen him somewhere before. An afternoon scene appeared in her mind. She pointed at the man and said, “Why are you here?”

“This is my home!” Ah Lin said honestly.

“Why am I here?” Ji Baining shook his head and continued to ask.

‘”You fainted, so I brought you back. I’m sorry, but without your consent…” Ah Lin lowered his head and whispered.

He looked like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his parents to punish him.

“Do you have any food? I’m so hungry!” Ji Baining asked.

“Yes, yes, I’ll save it for you. I’ll bring it over immediately!” Ah Lin hurriedly nodded and said.

Ji Baining sat on the bed and looked down at the skirt on her body. The corner of her lips curled into a bitter smile. She didn’t know what to do next!

“Come, come, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I have a little of each!” Ah Lin handed the bowl to Ji Baining and said.

Ji Baining took the bowl and said, “Thank you.”

“Hehe–no need!” Ah Lin reached out and scratched his head. His face flushed and he laughed foolishly.

Ji Baining looked at the dishes in the bowl. Although they were just some ordinary home-cooked dishes, she felt that they were especially delicious.

She was wolfing down her food. When Ah Lin saw Ji Baining’s appearance, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly walked out.

Not long after, a glass of water appeared in his hand. “Here you are!”

Ji Baining took the water and thanked him.

Ji Baining thanked the one in front of her for saving her when she was down.

Later on, he found out that all of this was settled.

Seeing that Ji Baining had finished eating, Ah Lin put the bowl back.

Ji Baining looked at the man’s back in the distance, shook his head, and continued to lie on the bed and fall asleep.

Perhaps he was too tired, and soon, Ji Baining fell asleep.

Ah Lin originally wanted to send Ji Baining to take a bath, but when he heard the slight sound of breathing, he could only walk out gently.

“Ah Lin, why did you come out? What about the girl?” Ah Lin’s mother asked.

“She’s asleep. Let’s not disturb her!” Ah Lin whispered.

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, “I also washed and slept!”

Ah Lin turned around and looked at Ji Baining’s room. A faint smile appeared on his face as he lifted his foot and walked towards his room.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Early in the morning, just as dawn fell, Housekeeper Auntie got up and cooked breakfast.

After hearing the news at home for several days, the bone became harder and harder, and it was not sharp at all.

Housekeeper Auntie imitated the person on TV and did some exercises. He felt that his body was much softer.

Tang Luoxin’s expression changed when she saw Housekeeper Auntie cooking breakfast downstairs. She hurriedly said, “Auntie, you can’t move now!”

“Aiyo, Luo Xin, don’t be so loud. Just now, you scared me. The doctor said that I could do some proper exercise. After lying at home for so many days, it’s almost moldy. Just let me move!” Housekeeper Auntie looked at Tang Luoxin and said.

Tang Luoxin didn’t say anything and just looked at Housekeeper Auntie.

After a while, he nodded and agreed, “But you have to promise me one condition!”

“What condition? As long as I can fulfill it, I will definitely agree!” The implication was that if she couldn’t do it, she wouldn’t agree.

“I can only make breakfast!” Tang Luoxin said.

‘Very well–‘ said Housekeeper Auntie with a kind smile on his old face, and nodded lightly.

At the seaside villa, Gu Zihao slowly woke up, pulled the curtains and stretched. The dawn sun slowly sprinkled on the sparkling sea surface through layers of light veil mist, making people intoxicated by this miraculous sight of nature without any decoration or carving. It also caused people to admire the misty sea scenery of Shui Tian.

The seawater kept gushing to the beach and sliding back and forth into the sea.

Silver shells glittered on the soft beach, like screw shells, scallop shells…

Gu Zihao took out his phone from the bedside table and gave Ji Baining a call. Not long after, a mechanical female voice came from there.

Gu Zihao’s slightly thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Turn off the phone, how could it be turned off?

He hurriedly put on his clothes and drove to Ji Baining’s school. The classmates said that she hadn’t had classes for several days and didn’t ask for leave from her teacher.

Gu Zihao’s expression changed as he hurriedly dialed another number for Ji Qingyu.

“Don’t call me again in the future?” Ji Qingyu only said this before hanging up the phone.

At this time, Gu Zihao thought of Tang Luoxin. He hesitated for a moment and finally pressed the number hidden in his heart.

After the call was connected, a deep male voice sounded on the other side of the phone, “I’m Lu Jingnian!”

Hearing the man’s voice, Gu Zihao shook his hand and almost threw the phone to the ground.

“Speak” Lu Jingnian did not hear the voice. His heart sank. A cold voice came out. There were only two words, but it had an irresistible aura.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Zihao opened his thin lips slightly and slowly asked, “This is Gu Zihao, Uncle, please call Aunt to answer the phone!”

God knows how much courage he needed to say this!

“She’s on the first floor. She doesn’t have time to answer your phone!” After saying that, Lu Jingnian hung up the phone.

Gu Zihao heard a beeping sound. He looked at his phone and the call was over.

Gu Zihao stood at the school gate. Only now did he realize that he didn’t know anything about Ji Baining. Where did she like to go when she was angry, and what did she like to do when she was happy?

In the past, when he chased after Tang Luoxin, he had only played a small trick, but Ji Baining had stuck it upside down by himself.

For a rich second generation like Gu Zihao, as long as he waved his hand, a large number of women would rush forward, thus ignoring what a woman really needed.

A helpless smile appeared on Gu Zihao’s face. It seemed that he had really hurt Ji Baining. It was also true. If he changed his stance, not only would his girlfriend not be standing with him, but he would also be disappointed if he fell into a trap!
