My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 69: 69 He crept up to the edge of the bed in the middle of the night_1

Translator: 549690339

My bedroom suddenly had an extra figure in the dead of night, startling me into full alertness.

I quickly descended from the bed hugging my quilt.

Not paying attention, I completely rolled off the bed.

“It’s me, don’t be afraid!”

A familiar voice echoed.

A pair of large hands caught me.

Upon their closeness, I recognized him.

The shadow wasn’t someone else.

It was Gu Yuanzhou.

He helped me sit down on the couch beside the bed and handed me a bottle of water.

“I was passing by just now, heard your scream, thought you might be in trouble, so I came in.”

I took a sip of water, and my heartbeat gradually calmed down.

“Uh, I might have had a nightmare!”

Gu Yuanzhou curiously gazed at me, “What did you dream of?”

“Heh…President Gu probably doesn’t want to listen, it’s a ridiculous and laughable dream.”

I let out a bitter smile.

As the saying goes, you dream what you think during the day.

Though I could pretend to be calm when facing Gu Yuanzhou during the day, acting as if there was no turmoil inside me.

But in my dreams, I knew very well, I hated Gu Yuanzhou, and if I could go back to the past, I wouldn’t want to marry him again.

“Anyway, I can’t sleep, why don’t you tell me.”

Gu Yuanzhou was intrigued.

I suddenly remembered what Ding Yinuo once said, living with the boss really had no benefits.

“Uh, I dreamt… of a wedding, I married a worthless man. He approached me under the pretext of loving me, used me, and after gaining power, he ruthlessly discarded me. He even killed my child…”

Speaking for myself, I told the truth, only stopping short of naming names.

After hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou became silent, “It’s just a dream, isn’t it?”

“Yes!”

“There’s no such man in reality!”

“Are there none?”

“Do you know the difference between a cad and a good man?”

“I don’t know!”

“A cad would not marry a woman! Under normal circumstances, a cad would coax a woman into bed but definitely won’t take responsibility. A good man would marry a woman, do you know? Marriage is a responsibility, a commitment!”

Gu Yuanzhou was convincing.

His points were valid, and seemed irrefutable.

I couldn’t help but laugh, “Marriage can also allow a man to legitimately inherit all the woman’s property.”

Gu Yuanzhou fell silent for a while, “Okay, it’s too late, you go back to sleep.”

He turned and walked away.

I felt like my words might have been too pointed; worried that they might arouse his suspicion, so I added another sentence.

“President Gu, I’m not targeting you, I’m talking about myself.”

Gu Yuanzhou had reached the bedroom door, he stopped and looked at me.

“I know! Because I’m not the kind of man you speak of.”

“Oh!”

The rest of the night, I couldn’t fall asleep.

I got up alone and started surfing my phone…

Just as I turned it on, a bunch of messages flooded in.

Several were from Ding Yinuo and before I had a chance to read them, Wenya’s video call came through.

I quickly picked up.

“You’re video calling me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping…”

Before I could finish my sentence, in the video, Wenya moved the camera to the other side.

The background was actually a bar and Wenya seemed to be exhausted, her eyelids were fighting.

“Are you out drinking alone again?”

“Not at all! I was sleeping and got dragged out by this sick man. He said that he needed to see you. He was relentless and made me come to the bar in the dead of night. If it wasn’t for him having cured my grandmother’s illness last time, I wouldn’t have wanted anything to do with him.”

Wenya seemed to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, she looked grouchily.

Then the camera shifted, and Ding Yinuo’s face appeared in the frame.

“Uh, why were you looking for me?”

Ding Yinuo stared at the screen for a while, and then said,

“Why don’t you turn on the light? It’s completely dark, I can’t see anything.”

“I’m wearing a nightgown; what do you want to see?”

“Turn on a light, let me take a look…”

Ding Yinuo was adamant about me turning on the light, as if he was suffering from some major illness.

In order to get rid of him, I had no choice but to switch on the light.

In the camera frame, I saw my disheveled hair and sleepy eyes; Ding Yinuo saw them too,

“Did you cry?”

“No!”

How could I admit my weakness in front of my opponent?

“Yes, you did. Your eyes are all red, did Gu Yuanzhou mistreat you?”

“No! I might have fallen down while sleeping! That’s it, I’m going to sleep.”

“You fell down from the bed while sleeping?”

“Isn’t that pretty normal?”

“It’s not, only children do that, how old are you?”

I didn’t want to argue with him anymore,

“Ding Yinuo, I really want to go to sleep, goodnight.”

I hung up the video call.

I lingered alone in the darkness for a long time.

There seemed to be some noise outside, so I got out of bed, tiptoed to the door, and peeked out.

The living room was not lit, only moonlight came through the window.

But it was enough for me to see clearly, Gu Yuanzhou was sitting on the sofa in his bathrobe.

And Ye Mengyan, clad in a pink nightdress, sat on the other end of the sofa, whispering an apology.

“Brother Gu, I was wrong. Initially when I introduced aunt to you, I thought she would bring a better life for you, I never expected things would turn out this way.”

Gu Yuanzhou was drinking tea, his tone steady, “It’s not your fault! It was an accident; you shouldn’t blame yourself. No one expected this.”

“But I’ve been feeling very guilty, I can’t sleep in peace, if it weren’t for me…”

Ye Mengyan began to cry softly.

Gu Yuanzhou stood up, held her in his arms, and gently comforted her.

“Don’t blame yourself, don’t be scared, remember, this has nothing to do with you…”

Ye Mengyan lay on Gu Yuanzhou’s chest, sobbing gently, she finally calmed down after his consolation.

This entire scene was probably the most intimate interaction I had ever witnessed between the two of them.

I couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so I closed the door, leaned my back against the door, and wiped my moist eye sockets.

At this moment, it felt like something had collapsed inside me.

Actually, deep down, I knew such things could happen, but seeing it with my own eyes was still quite shocking.

The next morning.

I woke up early, freshened up, and walked out of the bathroom just as I bumped into Gu Yuanzhou.

As per usual, I should at least say good morning to him.

But at that moment, I didn’t want to interact with him.

I had a strong feeling of not wanting to deal with him, to the extent that I didn’t want to pretend anymore.

No wonder there’s a saying, it’s impossible to hide love for someone, it’s the same for detesting someone.

I walked past him indifferently, pretending not to notice…

He didn’t react much, just stayed behind me, seemingly for quite a while.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chenming came over and took Ye Mengyan away.

At this point, only one day remained for the court session.

I had an incessant restless feeling in my heart, hoping to get this case over with soon, to send Gu Yuanzhou to jail and let him receive the punishment he deserved.
