The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Seeing but Not Owning (4)

She had no time now to figure out the reason anyway. She could only focus on her jealousy and heartache.

Gu Chenyi was the only son, and all of the Gu family assets were to be his. Hence, after she marries him, all of the Gu family assets would be hers too!

And now, Gu Chenyi was using her money and buying all sorts of expensive luxury items for Mu Huan like he was buying cabbage. Her heart wrung with pain. It was so painful that she almost died!

This death-deserving Gu Chenyi, what exactly was he thinking?!

—

Having bought the gifts, of course they immediately had to give them away.

Hence, around dinner time, Mrs. Gu went to the Bao residence with Gu Chenyi and Lin Qingya in tow.

“Auntie, what happened was my fault, and these gifts from me are to make up for it. Please accept them.”

Mu Huan looked at the whole lot of branded jewelry Gu Chenyi was holding.

“…” What was he up to now?

By buying this many branded jewelry for her, did he want Bao Junyan to think that she was a person given to vanity?

“Xiao Huan, this child Chenyi has been spoiled by us ever since he was young, and he often does foolish things. No matter what he has done, don’t take it to heart. And if you’re still not able to cast aside the anger, then hit him a few times!” Mrs. Gu said.

Mrs. Gu had gone as far as to say that.

If Mu Huan didn’t accept these gifts, it only meant she was still angry and refused to forgive Gu Chenyi.

But she didn’t even know why Gu Chenyi was apologizing to her all of a sudden or why he bought her all this branded jewelry. What did he want her to say?

She looked toward Bao Junyan in reflex.

“Since it’s his way of apologizing, just accept it,” Bao Junyan said impassively.

“Okay.” Mu Huan reached out to accept the gifts.

There was more than what both her hands could manage.

“This is too much though. We are family, so there’s no need to be so overly polite.” Even if he wanted to apologize, not that it was needed, one gift would have been enough, but he bought so many!

“I don’t know what sort you like, so I just bought a few more, thinking that among all the different styles, there’s bound to be one that you’ll like,” Gu Chenyi said with a smile.

It didn’t feel like he meant any harm.

Mu Huan looked up at him.

Suddenly, it was as though she saw that sunshine boy from before — when he hadn’t known what sort of drinks she liked and had bought everything he could find in the shop.

He had stood smiling shyly before her, saying, “I don’t know what sort of drink you like, so I bought them all, thinking that among them, there’s bound to be something you fancy.”

At this moment, she was full of mixed feelings.

She quickly looked away.

Gu Chenyi did not speak further.

The vibes between them caused Bao Junyan to suddenly find those bags in Mu Huan’s hands to be an eyesore.

Hence, he said, “Butler, help Madam take these things upstairs.”

The butler came up to them immediately.

Mu Huan quickly handed over the things she was holding.

Having observed what was happening, Gu Chenyi clenched his fists tightly by his sides and then slowly relaxed.

Lin Qingya noticed this. The death-deserving Gu Chenyi! Why was his heart so cold like steel?! No matter how she tried to please him, no matter how hard she worked for him, he simply couldn’t let Mu Huan go!

And right in front of her, his fiancee, he was acting like he couldn’t forget his old love. How was she to bear this?! There was a flash of gloominess in her eyes.

Among the four of them, only Mrs. Gu was truly oblivious, unaware that there was anything out of the ordinary. She only chided her son, saying that, in the future, he was not to cause Mu Huan any upset.

Then she looked toward Mu and said, “Xiao Huan, you’re more senior in position. In the future, if he should do anything foolish again, just hit him!”

Mu Huan, who was quite speechless by now, could only smile with awkward politeness.
