Forgotten Love - Chapter 23

Gu Huaian followed me back to the room like a shy little wife.

“Go ahead, what did I do to upset you this time?”

Seeing my helpless expression, he lowered his mouth, his voice muffled:

“Shen Qingruan, why don’t you want to tell people that we’re married?”

“Why, do you want everyone to know?”

I asked back in confusion.

Gu Huaian choked for a moment, then forced out a soft “Mm” from his throat.

“Alright…”

I remembered how, in the car, I had let my imagination run wild and sulked the whole way.

I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed too.

“So, is there anything else?”

After a moment of silence, Gu Huaian mumbled awkwardly:

“Why did you meet with Doctor Lin behind my back? And-and you were hugging him…”

“You were at the café that day too? You heard my conversation with Lin Chen?!”

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly pressed him.

Gu Huaian was startled by my sudden raised voice.

Then, his face darkened, and he ground his back teeth audibly:

“What, am I not allowed to hear what you two talked about?”

“Were you plotting how to get rid of me so he could take my place?”

“…Huh?”

I was completely baffled.

Gu Huaian could make up even wilder stories than I could!

But clearly, he hadn’t heard what Lin Chen and I actually said.

I immediately felt relieved.

I couldn’t help but ask him with a laugh:

“Are you jealous?”

“I just don’t want you to keep things from me!”

Gu Huaian turned his head away, his ears turning red again.

“Aren’t we… aren’t we husband and wife…”

Hearing this frustrated and aggrieved question,

I couldn’t help blurting out:

“Then what about you and Lin Jiao? Didn’t you keep that from me too…”
