Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 564 - 562: Don’t cry first, I’ll go buy tissues and then you can cry

"How much salt did you put in the porridge you made for me?"

Gu Li’s figure paused slightly, she stammered, "How did you know?"

"I could taste it." He said with implication.

Gu Li suddenly felt uncomfortable, "Did you eat my porridge just to know if both bowls tasted the same?"

"What else?"

What else?

Gu Li felt so helpless, he could have just asked her, why did he have to eat the porridge from her bowl?

Seeing her staring at the porridge in the bowl, undecided whether to eat or not, Gu Chen frowned, "Dislike?"

Gu Li glanced at him and gave a look that suggested he understand on his own.

However, as soon as her gaze returned, from the corner of her eye she saw the man put down the bowl and lean towards her. She was so frightened that she handed him the bowl, but as soon as she turned her head, she felt a warm touch on her lips.

After realizing what had happened, she sprung away like a startled little rabbit and walked towards the room with her head down.

Here we go again~

An incident that hadn’t occurred in nearly six years happened once more.

The peaceful times lately had almost made her forget what this man did to her on her twentieth birthday. But the brief touch just now brought all those unpleasant memories flooding back, catching her off-guard.

Gu Li’s hand on the doorknob was grasped by a strong and forceful hand. She turned back in panic, only to see Gu Chen’s pale face void of any expression.

She was about to speak, but Gu Chen beat her to it.

"Gu Li, stop running away."

Gu Li struggled violently a few times, but failing to break free, she gave up, staring directly into his dark eyes, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You know, from six years ago until now, you’ve always remembered that incident, otherwise why would you keep running?"

Something about what Gu Chen said enraged Gu Li. The quiet her of just a second ago suddenly exploded after Gu Chen finished his sentence.

"Don’t bring up six years ago! If it weren’t for what you did to me, would I run? It’s all because of you, Uncle Gu!"

Gu Chen watched her, looking like a little leopard, and for a moment he actually didn’t know how to answer her question.

She called him "Uncle Gu"—a name he had not heard in a very long time, so long it was like something from the last century.

She was about to turn twenty-six, and from when she was twenty until now, she had no name to call him by, she even refused to speak to him.

Gu Chen slowly blinked, his deep and pleasant voice came through, "Li, I can apologize for that incident, but I don’t regret it."

Gu Li glared at him fiercely with bloodshot eyes, he said he didn’t regret it~

He did that to her, and he actually said he didn’t regret it?!

Tears fell from Gu Li’s eyes.

That day, when he forcefully stripped her clothes off and took possession of her, all she had in her heart was anger.

But she didn’t cry, from that day until now, she hadn’t shed a single tear.

But now she cried.

She cried the first time he mentioned that incident to her afterwards.

She couldn’t quite say it was injustice, nor could she say it was sorrow, but she just couldn’t hold back the tears.

Watching the woman before him crying profusely, Gu Chen felt helpless. He released her hand and, after his gaze made contact with the open door behind her, he took her hand again and led her to sit down on the couch.

Gu Chen took a tissue, clumsily wiping the tears off her face, but her tears were like they cost nothing, continuously flowing, continuously flowing, no matter how Gu Chen wiped, they wouldn’t stop.

In the end, Gu Chen helplessly sighed, "It’s no good to keep crying like this, don’t cry for now, I’ll go buy some tissues and then you can cry."

Gu Li’s crying stopped abruptly at his words.

Gu Chen miraculously found that his words actually worked.
