“I’ll give you the title of Mrs. Gu, but don’t even think about anything else.” What the hell? He’s my man—why can’t I kiss him, hug him, and lift him up? After being reborn, she humiliated her enemies and climbed her way up to the most powerful man in Li City. That trashy sister wants to rise to fame? She can dream! Watch her use her power to crush her in a heartbeat. That sleazy guy trying to pull strings through family connections? Hmph! No way—not a chance. After the wedding, her husband remained aloof and dignified, refusing to give in. Watch as she coaxes him with every trick in the book. Gu Mochen has nowhere to retreat. Since his wife is taking the initiative, he’ll reluctantly accept everything she offers—if he doesn’t give himself to her now, wouldn’t that be a terrible injustice to her?
Chapter 383: Gu Mochen, You’re Not Poisoning Me, Are You? [Third Update] With that, Gu Mochen turned and left the room. Angry as she was, she still had to eat. Gu Sheng was already quite thin; if she went any longer without eating, she’d end up looking like a stick. She’d barely have any meat on her bones if you picked her up—it’d be a real worry. Watching Gu Mochen walk out, Gu Sheng grew even more furious. She shouted furiously at Gu Mochen’s retreating back: “I can’t even walk! How am I supposed to eat? You jerk!” As she spoke, she hurled a pillow at Gu Mochen’s back. Gu Mochen turned to look at Gu Sheng, seeing the mix of embarrassment and anger on her face. Only then did he realize what had happened, and he couldn’t help but chuckle: “Just you wait.” Gu Sheng buried her face in the pillow; even though they were an old married couple, she still felt embarrassed. Thinking back to the look on Gu Mochen’s face when he’d left just now, what was there to be so smug about? Gu Sheng listened quietly to the clattering sounds coming from outside the door for quite a while before Gu Mochen finally ran in, scooped her up, and carried her to the dining table in the living room. He shoved a set of bowls and chopsticks into her hands. At that moment, Gu Mochen was wearing an apron, looking every bit the stay-at-home dad—a sight that struck Gu Sheng as rather novel. Gu Sheng glanced down at the simple spread on the table and asked doubtfully, “Did you make this?” “Yep, eat up,” Gu Mochen urged. If it weren’t for this little woman, he’d never have deigned to step down from his high horse and cook. Just look at the expression on her face—there are plenty of people who would kill for a chance to eat this. “Gu Mochen, you didn’t poison this, did you?” Gu Sheng feigned disgust, but her chopsticks were already moving. She kept shoveling the food into her mouth—Gu Mochen’s cooking was truly delicious. It was such a waste that he didn’t show off this talent more often. Who would’ve thought he was hiding such a talent? Thinking back to last time at Xingze Bay, when she’d been the one insisting on cooking the noodles—she really was such a fool. Gu Mochen shook his head helplessly, took a napkin, and wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth. “Eat slower. No one’s going to take it from you—there’s plenty left in the pot.” “By the way, where have you been all day?” Gu Sheng looked at Gu Mochen with a touch of concern; Lin Wanruo had been clinging to him nonstop these past few days. She’d been lying in her little apartment all day—surely she hadn’t given Lin Wanruo a chance to take advantage of the situation? “I had to wrap up some loose ends with the An family, and I took care of that princess while I was at it,” Gu Mochen said casually. “Dealt with?” Gu Sheng didn’t understand what Gu Mochen meant by “dealt with.” “Yes, dealt with,” Gu Mochen nodded, offering no further explanation of exactly how he’d handled it. Gu Sheng didn’t care about the details of the process; as long as Lin Wanruo stopped pestering them, she was fine with whatever he did. When Gu Mochen and Gu Sheng decided to leave Xingze Bay, Nan Fengling was practically ready to set off firecrackers in celebration. However, before the two departed, Nan Fengling warned Gu Sheng: while Nan Feng Jinge’s affection for her might be advantageous for Gu Sheng now, in the future, it could easily turn into a double-edged sword, forcing Gu Sheng to remain constantly vigilant within the Nan Feng family. Gu Sheng was well aware of this. Having come this far, she was determined to ensure that Nan Feng Jingge’s affection for her would last forever. Gu Sheng thought that upon returning to Country L, her life would be as carefree as before, but she was wrong. Gu Mochen’s punishment of her did not end with the events that had unfolded in Country G. Apart from a few important cabinet meetings, which Gu Mochen would preside over personally, All other visitors and trivial matters were left entirely to Gu Sheng.
