They Said I’m Mr. Gu’s Scandalous Affair - Chapter 38

Your Resistance is Unnecessary

However, Meng Haotian didn’t fully grasp the inner workings of the Gu Corporation, so Meng Nianyao calmly explained, “Certainly, but none of them are as substantial as the entertainment city project.”

Meng Nianyao then glanced at Meng Haotian, reassuring him, “I promised to help you, and I’ll definitely fulfill that promise. Don’t worry, the company can hold on a bit longer.”

Soon, they reached the location Meng Nianyao had casually mentioned. Meng Haotian assisted Meng Nianyao out of the car and asked, “You’ve sprained your ankle. Do you want me to stay with you tonight?”

“No, there’s no need,” Meng Nianyao replied. Realizing that she had rebuffed him hastily, she lowered her gaze and continued, “Don’t you have to go home? If your mother discovers I’m involved with you again, she’ll cause trouble for me. And Jiang Shanshan…”

Meng Haotian looked at Meng Nianyao with a curious expression. He couldn’t deny the truth in her words, but her rejection still bothered him.

After sending Meng Haotian on his way, Meng Nianyao surveyed the unfamiliar neighborhood and called Ping Yang to inquire about Gu Wencheng’s schedule.

Gu Wencheng happened to be with Ping Yang and overheard the conversation. He took Ping Yang’s phone and said, “Mrs. Gu, why are you looking for me?”

Meng Nianyao hadn’t expected Gu Wencheng to answer the call. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s nothing.” Nearby, a group of children played loudly, making it hard for her to concentrate. “Where are you?” Gu Wencheng suddenly inquired.

Meng Nianyao didn’t respond initially, but when Gu Wencheng asked again, she sighed and told him her address.

…

When Gu Wencheng arrived at the location Meng Nianyao had mentioned, he saw her ankle wrapped in gauze, and his expression darkened. “How did this happen?”

“I accidentally sprained it,” Meng Nianyao explained.

Gu Wencheng noticed Meng Nianyao’s attire and couldn’t help but sneer. “You went on a date with your ex-husband again, didn’t you? I’ve given you a month, but I’m not forcing you to cut off contact with your ex-husband immediately. You don’t have to go to such lengths, do you?”

Meng Nianyao bit her lip, refraining from explaining that she had injured herself while thinking about Gu Wencheng. Familiar with her silence, Gu Wencheng reached out to assist her into the car.

During the drive, neither of them spoke.

Meng Nianyao struggled to find the right words. Gu Wencheng was evidently angry and uninterested in conversing. What kind of ex-husband is he? He can’t even control himself and causes injuries on a date!

However, Gu Wencheng’s anger dissipated when he reached their home and witnessed Meng Nianyao hopping into the elevator on one foot, refusing his help due to her annoyance with him. She resembled a rabbit, her little face puffed up as she hopped toward the elevator with a single leg. She went on a date with another man and hurt herself, yet now she was throwing a tantrum at him?

Gu Wencheng arched an eyebrow and went to pick up Princess Meng Nianyao. Meng Nianyao’s expression remained cold. “Put me down. I don’t need your help.”

“I already picked you up, and now you’re saying you don’t need it?” Gu Wencheng quipped.

Meng Nianyao was left speechless.

She was carried all the way back to their apartment, and Gu Wencheng proceeded directly to their bedroom. However, Meng Nianyao grabbed his arm. “I fell all over and I want to take a shower first.”

Gu Wencheng examined her bandaged ankle and acquiesced. “Okay, I’ll fetch some water for you.” He gently placed Meng Nianyao on the sofa.

Once the bathroom was ready, Gu Wencheng carried Meng Nianyao over. She contemplated refusing but Gu Wencheng’s persistence thwarted her. “The bathroom floor is slippery. Do you want to fall again? One month won’t be enough.”

Meng Nianyao couldn’t find words. She realized that Gu Wencheng had a way of leaving her speechless.

Fortunately, Gu Wencheng didn’t push it any further. He positioned her at the edge of the bathtub and gradually released her. Just as Meng Nianyao was about to express her gratitude, Gu Wencheng raised an eyebrow and teased, “Mrs. Gu, I can offer bathing services if you’d like. Are you sure you don’t need them?”

Meng Nianyao pointed towards the bathroom door. “Thank you, but that won’t be necessary. You can leave now.”

“Alright, I’ll be outside. If you need anything, just call me. I promise I’ll be there.”

Once Gu Wencheng exited the bathroom, Meng Nianyao carefully removed her clothes, only to realize she hadn’t brought any fresh attire to change into. Panic set in. Did she really have to call Gu Wencheng now?
