Mr. Gu of Democracy

  "Have you seen my uncle come home?"

  "Mr. Gu, it seems that there isn't, I didn't see Mr. Gu's car today, but I'm not very sure, maybe he has also returned."

  Back home, it's pitch black, already past 10 o'clock, and he still hasn't returned, this is the third day in a row. Even if he doesn't want to see her, there's no need to work so desperately.

  She needed to look up some information, so Si Mian was about to go flip through the books in the study, but she remembered that ring she saw last time and hesitated for a moment.

  Forget it, what's there to be afraid of, she isn't doing anything bad anyway.

  Found what she wanted, just about to leave, she unexpectedly walked to the desk again, opened the drawer, but didn't see that sapphire velvet box. Hmm, where's the ring? Why can't I find it?

  The drawer of the desk was turned upside down but it couldn't be found. Where did it go? Did Gu Mo move it to another place?

  Forget it, it's not hers anyway, she can take it wherever she wants.

  Just as Si Mian walked out of the study, she ran into Gu Mo returning. For some reason, her heart felt guilty and she took a step back, bumping into the door and making a loud noise.

  Gu Mo raised his head and saw her glancing around nervously, looking like she had done something wrong. "Did you make another mistake?"

  "No, no," Si Mian hastily shook his head, "I just went in to look up some information."

  "Looking up information? Really?" Gu Mo expressed his skepticism, this girl can also read books now.

  "Really, don't believe me? Look, I've written it down on paper." Si Mian tried his best to prove his innocence.

  Gu Mo took off his clothes and loosened his tie, glanced at the paper in her hand, saw that there were indeed some scribbled notes on it, "I'll barely believe you this once"

  Si Mian let out a breath of relief and immediately turned around to head back to her room. She had worked three hours overtime today and was exhausted.

  Gu Mo suddenly said to her, "Tomorrow night I won't be coming back to live here, maybe I'll come back a week later."

  "Is it going well?" Si Mian asked as he turned around.

  No

  "That... why don't you come back?" Si Mian said with a hint of grievance, as if he now disliked her so much that she didn't even dare to return home. "Uncle Gu, don't be like this, I've already apologized, I didn't intentionally not tell Yu Fansen about our marriage, nor did I intentionally let him misunderstand, he liked me, but I clearly rejected him and he didn't bother me again."

  She was very afraid that he would get angry, not because she was afraid of his anger and scolding her, but because she didn't like it when he ignored her, feeling very lost.

  From young to old, I've said sorry many times. In the past, Su Song bullied her, and even when it wasn't her fault, Su Song would say it was hers. She would go to her stepfather and tattle on her, and when he was in a bad mood, no matter whose fault it was, he would scold her. She would apologize over and over again, but none of those apologies were sincere, just perfunctory words of sorry to avoid trouble.

  But this time, she really wanted to apologize to him and didn't want to continue the cold war with him. She would rather he yell at her like before.

  These days, Gu Mo has been leaving early and returning late, and his words with her have become fewer and fewer. Si Xuan is afraid that their relationship will slowly drift apart, becoming like strangers.

  Unconsciously, she had become somewhat reliant on Gu Mo.

  Si Mian bit her lower lip, her eyes were red, and the paper in her hand was crumpled. "Uncle Gu, are you going to separate?"

  "Who told you I want to separate?" Gu Mo's action of drinking water paused, and he turned his head to look at her. Seeing that she looked like a abandoned pet with pitiful eyes looking at him, his heart softened. He put down the cup and walked to her side, "What else are you thinking in your little brain? I'm just busy these few days, can't rest for long after coming back, so I thought it's better to just stay in the office's resting room, when I'm done with work, I'll come back."

  "Really?"

  "What's the point of deceiving you a little?" Gu Mo said solemnly.

  She appears to be carefree on the surface, but in reality, she is more sensitive than anyone else. This may have something to do with her family, so Gu Mo thought it would be better to explain things clearly to avoid her getting any wrong ideas, including separation.

  "She bit her lower lip and said, 'Then I'll barely believe you'"

  "From tomorrow on, you can go out and have fun with your colleagues after work, no need to rush home as soon as you get off work, just don't be too late, also pay attention to safety, the curfew has been lifted."

  These days, Gu Mo has been thinking a lot. She's still young and full of curiosity about the outside world. Being stuck in a routine from 2 to 1 isn't quite suitable for her. It's time to give her some space and let her do what she wants to do.

  Si Mian couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at him, the door was no longer locked, what's going on? Hearing such words, not only did she not feel happy, but instead felt uneasy in her heart. Gu Da Shu being so humble didn't seem quite right, could it be that he still had some lingering resentment.

  "Uncle Gu, don't be like this, you should still set a curfew"

  "No way" Gu Mo walked into the bathroom, just about to close the door, when Si Mian stuck a foot in and wedged it open, holding the door with his hand. "Uncle Gu, please don't shut me out, I'm begging you."

  He's like this, and she really can't get used to it. She's afraid in her heart, wondering if he's going to come up with some sinister plan to deal with her again.

  So he was still fierce and strict with her, which made her feel a bit more at ease.

  Gu Me opened the door and looked at her seriously, saying, "We don't have a curfew in our home. If you think it's time to come back, then just come back. In the future, if you want to go out with friends for dinner, just go. You don't need to ask my opinion specifically. Just call me and tell me what time you'll be back."

  The tighter the kite string is pulled, the easier it will break. Now he controls her too strictly, she can't help but want to rebel. If that's the case, then he should relax a bit. When she has flown enough and is tired of flying, she will obediently return to his side.

  "Uncle Gu..."

  "Just remember you're my wife when we're outside, okay? I'm going to take a bath, I didn't bring my clothes, can you bring them to me?"

  "Gu Mo just finished taking a bath and came out to see her in the bedroom packing blankets and pillows from the closet into a suitcase, "What are you doing with these?""

  "It's been a bit chilly these days, and it gets cold at night when sleeping in the office, so bring an extra set to cover up." She said as she bustled about.

  "There is air conditioning in the rest room, it won't be cold"

  Xiao Mian's movements paused, and she slapped her forehead. "Right, I forgot. Then let's not pretend anymore." She took out the things she had spent half a day putting in, and Gu Mo grasped her hand. "Don't take them out now. Since they're packed, I'll bring them along. Two sets are enough, so we won't need to turn on the air conditioner, which is better for the environment."

  Watching her tidy up for herself and worry about her own affairs, Gu Mo felt warm inside. She was his wife, and just thinking about it made him feel incredibly fulfilled.

  Although she is small, she can always warm him up from trivial things, such as being afraid that he will be hungry and running several streets to buy sushi, or being scalded by oil to make his favorite dishes, and those pairs of shoes that are polished brightly.

  Actually, about that thing with Vanson, he had long stopped being angry with her. As long as she didn't have Vanson in her heart, he was at ease.

  These days, I haven't been paying much attention to her. Firstly, it's true that I've been really busy lately. Secondly, I also wanted to slightly punish her. Who let her get kissed by Van Sen? As a husband, it's still somewhat unbearable for me.

  He was a decent and proper husband, only occasionally kissing her or touching her, but Vansen had kissed her so easily.

  This makes him so angry.

  Si Mian pushed the suitcase into the corner, then quickly took a shower, jumped onto the bed and pulled up the quilt to cover herself.

  A gust of wind blew in and found the window unclose.

  "Uncle Gu, could you close the window? It's so cold." She was wrapped up with only her head showing.

  He turned off the light and went back to bed, accidentally touching her feet, which were incredibly cold.

  Xiao Meng pulled her feet towards herself, afraid of the cold reaching him. When the weather got a bit chilly, she would get frostbite on her hands and feet, and it would take a long time to warm up. In the past when she slept alone, sometimes she was woken up by the cold in the morning.

  "Didn't you just take a bath?" This girl is a cold-blooded animal, so heartless.

  Gu Mo got out of bed and went to the bathroom, then came back with a basin of hot water which he placed beside the bed. He squatted down and said, "Put your feet in."

  Si Mian's eyes widened in surprise, Gu Mo repeated, "Put your foot inside, quickly"

  She stiffly put her feet in, and since they were too cold, the water felt exceptionally hot. She reflexively wanted to pull them back out, but he grabbed hold of her feet and pressed them into the water, "Don't move, warm up a bit before sleeping."

  His hands were very large, and one hand grasped her foot, looking at him crouching in front of her to serve herself pedicure, Si Mian's heart burst out a sweet bubble.

  Suddenly, Si Mian had an idea, as long as he touched himself tonight, she would give it to him.

  After soaking her feet, he took the water away to pour it out. He returned to the bed and wrapped his arms around her, then clamped her legs between his knees.

  Smelling the faint masculine scent on him, Si Mian had some expectations, but Gu Mo didn't make a move, and she waited and waited until she fell asleep.

  When she woke up in the morning, he had already gotten out of bed.

  Alright, this opportunity was one he didn't grasp himself, so in the future don't blame her for not giving him a chance.

  It was almost time to get off work, she called the Gu's house and it was Lv Qingyan who answered, her tone wasn't as cheerful as before, just a faint one, Si Mian also didn't make things awkward, they only exchanged two sentences before hanging up.

  Alas, could the absurd mother-in-law wars on TV happen to her? Good heavens! Si Mian was about to go crazy.

  Who stipulated that one must have children immediately after getting married? She's still young, even if she has a child in a few years, she won't be an older mother. Why does she have to have a child now? She's only 20 years old, okay?

  Mr. Gu insisted that she take the self-taught undergraduate exam, and she would be busy with exams. How could it be that when taking the exam, she would still have a big belly? Just thinking about that scene made her feel terrified, and goosebumps dropped all over the floor.

  Moreover, Gu Da Shu didn't mean for her to have children now either, it's not like she can just say she has them and they'll appear.

  When getting off work, Si Mian and Xia Ri went shopping together. As they walked, they saw Xiang Si Yi walking towards them with a not-so-good expression, looking somewhat haggard.
