Chapter 315: Getting Back to How Things Were
After the brief conversation ended, the bedroom fell into silence.
Occasionally, the slight sound of Bai Chenyao flipping through documents could be heard; Gu Tiantian could even hear her own breathing.
She slightly turned her head, looking at the drip hanging beside the bed, thinking of the previous scenes, Gu Tiantian’s mood was extremely complex.
Clearly, she had thought about having a good chat with Bai Chenyao after his return.
She even considered whether she should apologize, after all, she misunderstood him, which she only realized after watching that video.
Of course, she felt Bai Chenyao was also at fault; even though he wasn’t the one actively doing that to her, he said nothing, allowing her to misunderstand.
But the development that followed was completely beyond her expectations.
Suicide!
Now thinking back, Gu Tiantian felt her neck hurting and also found it unbelievable.
She knew Bai Chenyao’s temperament and knew that suicide would definitely anger him and implicate her grandmother, yet she impulsively came to this step.
With her complex mood, Gu Tiantian didn’t know if it was because of her neck pain or something else, suddenly quieted down. And since Bai Chenyao was not a person of many words, the silence in the room prevailed.
This pattern of quiet coexistence lasted for more than half a month.
Until the wound on Gu Tiantian’s neck healed significantly, and she also sorted out those chaotic thoughts, that state of silence gradually faded away.
Surprisingly, they tacitly agreed not to mention Gu Tiantian’s suicide after her wounds healed.
Gu Tiantian didn’t want to bring it up because she found it truly laughable.
Knowing it was impossible but still doing it, as foolish as a pig.
She even got threatened by Bai Chenyao, thinking about it was enough.
But she had no strength to retaliate at all.
And Bai Chenyao...
What Bai Chenyao was thinking, Gu Tiantian was even more clueless.
The way they interacted directly erased that bloody scene, returning to how things were before.
One remained indifferent and aloof, the other clearly unwilling yet powerless to leave the villa.
A beautiful maid quietly brought the meal to the bedroom, quietly retreated, and very considerately closed the bedroom door.
Bai Chenyao glanced at Gu Tiantian as she came out from washing up in the bathroom, put down the documents in his hand, got up and walked to the table, sitting on the sofa beside it.
As Gu Tiantian walked toward him, he reached out and pulled her over, letting her sit on his lap.
Then, as if nothing had happened, they began to eat like they always did.
Is it really pretending as if nothing happened?
No!
At least in Gu Tiantian’s heart, she didn’t believe so.
Some things, once they happen, are an objective existence.
No matter how much they are ignored, there will always be shadows.
However, she chose to continue ********.
Every time Bai Chenyao held her for meals in the past, she resisted it from the bottom of her heart, but now... although it felt unnatural, it wasn’t as much of a resistance as before.
Resisting was useless, threatening to death would gain even less, she had already been confined to the bedroom without going out for more than half a month.
This should be the punishment Bai Chenyao gave her!
A dinner where one ate and the other fed, they continued eating peacefully.
Because neither of them spoke, the only sound in the bedroom was the slight chewing when they ate.
Bai Chenyao’s eating posture was extremely elegant, even while holding her, it was a graceful and leisurely pose, even when picking up dishes, the chopsticks would never touch the bowl, making a clashing sound.
Gu Tiantian was hungry, and she ate whatever Bai Chenyao fed her, just as before, but her thoughts now were different from those in the past.
Overall, the dinner was peaceful, with them cooperating smoothly.
After Bai Chenyao put down his chopsticks, Gu Tiantian quickly reached out, took a cherry tomato, and handed it to his mouth, looking at him.
