Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 263 - 241: How Can Two People Without Love Create a Wonderful Thing?

Shen Yanchen intentionally went to a place where no one was, an open-air balcony. The night was quite enchanting, but his mood was far from beautiful.He knew Gu Qimiao followed him, but she was timidly hiding behind a pillar. He had given her a chance, but she didn’t seize it.

He heard footsteps behind him and thought it was her, but before he could put on a face, a middle-aged man’s voice came from behind: "Mr. Shen, why are you here alone?"

Shen Yanchen turned his head to look and simply said, "I wanted some peace and quiet."

It was clear he didn’t want to talk to anyone. The man gave an awkward smile and asked, "Why didn’t you bring your wife today?"

"She came, but she went off to have some fun."

"Mr. Shen, you are truly affectionate. My daughter, Ding Jing, also missed the chance. It would have been a beautiful thing if she had married you."

In the distance, Gu Qimiao frowned. Why were there so many people looking at her husband?

Shen Yanchen knew Gu Qimiao was listening. A few days without seeing him, and she would think he was keeping a woman outside. If he didn’t say something now, who knows how she would overthink it.

"There can be no beauty in a relationship without love."

Gu Qimiao was quite satisfied with that response. She heard Shen Yanchen say "I have something to do," and then saw him walking toward her. Gu Qimiao hurriedly pulled her head back behind the pillar. Shen Yanchen glanced in her direction and strode away.

When he was out of sight, Gu Qimiao stepped out from behind the pillar, frowning in frustration, not knowing how to ease their relationship.

When she arrived, he gave her a cold shoulder. At first, she thought that when he saw her, no matter how angry he was, he would hold her. He might give her a look, but she didn’t expect he would completely ignore her, acting as if he didn’t see her at all.

Taking a deep breath, she plucked up her courage again and chased after him in the direction he left.

Back in the hall, there were always people greeting him in twos and threes. Gu Qimiao simply stopped hiding and kept wandering in front of him. Sometimes she would get a drink here, eat some cake there, but realized he never once looked at her.

Her feet were starting to feel weak. After sitting down, she noticed her heels were bleeding. She had eaten her fill, but it was all in vain.

Seeing the women around him eager to approach, even though they knew he was married, she wondered why they still flocked to him?

A busty woman in a V-neck dress actually leaned on his arm. Gu Qimiao remembered he liked this kind of "plump" woman!

Feeling displeased, she immediately stood up, walked straight over, and pushed the busty woman aside. She hooked her arm around Shen Yanchen’s and said, "Husband, I want to sit over there."

Shen Yanchen raised an eyebrow, looked down at her, and said expressionlessly, "Go by yourself."

Being snubbed by him in front of so many women made Gu Qimiao feel embarrassed. But if she walked away in anger, these women would become even bolder.

She simply grabbed Shen Yanchen’s arm and dragged him aside. Shen Yanchen, with a triumphant smile and eyes full of affection, let her pull him to the champagne tower before quickly putting away his smile and looking down at her.

Gu Qimiao felt guilty under his gaze, looked away, and mumbled, "Can you stop being mad at me?"

"Mad? Tell me what you did wrong, why would I be mad?" Shen Yanchen assumed the stance of a teacher scolding a student.

Seeing her hands behind her back and standing obediently with her head down, she said, "I shouldn’t have disobeyed you..."

"How exactly did you disobey me?"

Gu Qimiao pouted. She wanted to know too, but it was just a made-up excuse to placate him.

That day’s situation, even if Gu Moming was in the wrong first, she couldn’t just let him die, right? She knew Shen Yanchen disliked Gu Moming, but he wouldn’t let him die out of hatred, would he?

Gu Moming could be quite annoying sometimes, but he was essentially good. That day, since he was injured, she naturally leaned towards him. But Shen Yanchen wasn’t wrong either; he was worried about her, which made him so angry.

But how could she take care of both of their feelings? He left her injured and hasn’t checked on her for days. She felt wronged and now had to coax him...

Shen Yanchen, seeing she couldn’t explain herself, knew she hadn’t realized her mistake. He showed a disappointed and angry expression and said, "Figure it out and come back to me."

As he turned to leave, Gu Qimiao quickly hugged him from behind and said playfully, "Just forgive me this once. I won’t make you angry again."

"Without recognizing your mistake, how can I forgive you? You’ll only repeat it in the future."

Gu Qimiao moved to face him and looked up, saying, "Then tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll change."

Seeing her good attitude, Shen Yanchen stopped and asked, "Then, whose wife are you?"

"...Yours." Suddenly feeling insecure, she didn’t understand why he asked.

"Then, who have you been with these days?"

Gu Qimiao hesitated but told the truth, "At the hospital, taking care of Brother Moming..."

Shen Yanchen removed her hand from his sleeve and said, "Then go to the hospital and stay with him."

Gu Qimiao finally realized he was jealous.

"You’re mad about this?"

Hearing her light tone, Shen Yanchen asked, "Do you think this is a small matter?"

"No!" Gu Qimiao shook her head urgently, "Then, I won’t keep him company in the future..."

"You sound very wronged." Even if Gu Moming was her blood brother, she didn’t have to take care of him so well. Besides, that day, she yelled at him because of Gu Moming’s mistake.

Gu Qimiao quickly said what she didn’t mean, "Not wronged at all!"

Did she feel a camaraderie with Gu Moming? So when there was a conflict between him and Gu Moming, she would unhesitatingly side with Gu Moming?

Again and again!

Seeing him silent, not knowing if he was satisfied or not, she cautiously asked, "Are you still mad at me?"

"I’m not mad."

"You clearly are. You ignored me when you saw me just now."

"Then tell me, why am I mad?"

Gu Qimiao: "..." Why did it circle back to this? "Because I stayed at the hospital with Brother Moming..."

"And what else?"

Gu Qimiao’s eyes rolled as she guessed, "Because I accidentally got tied up by him and lost your money."

Shen Yanchen clenched his teeth in anger and turned his back to her, leaving, "Right, think about how to pay me back."

She chased after him, asking, "How much?"
