Chapter 27: Kick out the white moonlight, the Best Actor is mine! -27
It was already 8 p.m. when he got home. He dragged his tired body and opened the door to find the living room completely dark.
Every time he came home from working overtime, Mu Wanwan would leave a light on in the living room for him, but tonight there was no light.
He felt uneasy, as if something was amiss. He turned on the living room light in the entryway, but the living room was empty, and Mu Wanwan was nowhere to be seen. The pots and pans in the kitchen were still the same as when he left that morning.
Has my wife not come home yet? It's already 8 o'clock. Kindergarten students all finish school at 4:50, and she should be off work around 5 o'clock. There's no way she could still be at school at this hour.
His heart clenched, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
He quickly took out his phone and dialed Mu Wanwan's number, but the mechanical voice on the other end said, "The number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later." After the mechanical voice repeated this several times, he hung up the phone, feeling increasingly anxious.
He had intended to go out to look for her, but suddenly noticed that her shoes were neatly placed by the door, while her slippers were nowhere to be seen. At that moment, his gaze involuntarily turned to the bedroom door.
Normally, she would leave the door open, waiting for him to return before closing it. He hurried to the bedroom door, grasped the doorknob, and tried to open it. But to his surprise, the door wouldn't open! He frowned, placed his hand on the handle, and tried turning it again.
Still completely still! He frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. He lowered his voice, trying to make his tone gentle, and called out, "Wife? Are you asleep?" However, there was still no movement in the room, as if shrouded in deathly silence.
"Honey, don't scare me!"
He pounded on the bedroom door, but there was still no response. Just as he was about to call the police, the door opened.
"Wife!"
Gu Zhishen hugged his wife tightly, feeling a sense of having regained what he had lost.
"You're squeezing me too tight."
Her voice was muffled and nasal. He quickly turned on the light, only to see Mu Wanwan's red and swollen eyes.
"Honey, are you crying?"
Mu Wanwan ignored him, went back to bed, pulled the covers over herself, and continued to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Gu Zhishen was extremely flustered. His wife was sensitive and insecure, and her appearance made him really want to kill himself.
It's obvious that his wife was heartbroken because of what happened to him.
"Honey, please pay attention to me!"
"I'm tired!"
Gu Zhishen stood blankly by the bed, watching Mu Wanwan's back, his heart filled with guilt and heartache.
He sighed softly, then silently walked out of the room and closed the door.
In the living room, Gu Zhishen sat quietly, utterly dejected.
The system anxiously advised, "Master, your favorability rating is currently stuck at 95. You need to cheer up and think about your mission."
Mu Wanwan remained silent; her giving her heart was beyond her expectations.
“Master, Gu Zhishen and Mo Ziting have no improper relationship. Don’t worry, the person he loves is still you.”
Gu Zhishen suddenly heard the bedroom door open. He jumped up in surprise and ran into the room, but was too shy to get into bed, like a pitiful abandoned puppy.
"Wife!"
Mu Wanwan turned her back to him and said, "I'm hungry. Find something to eat."
Go to bed early, you have work tomorrow.
After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Gu Zhishen had no appetite left. He lifted the covers, got into bed, and cautiously approached her.
The heat source behind her brought tears to her eyes again, and she sobbed softly, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Gu Zhishen hugged the person tightly, feeling so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.
"Honey, hit me, calm down! Don't cry, what if you hurt your eyes? Your husband will be heartbroken."
Mu Wanwan nestled in his arms and asked softly, feeling wronged, "Why are there rumors online that you and Mo Ziting are a perfect match? Why did you support her on Weibo? Why did you two do a magazine shoot together? Why... and so many other whys?"
"Wife, please listen to my explanation. She and I are truly innocent. The only reason I helped her was out of consideration for our past relationship. I've already made it clear to her today, and this is the last time," Gu Zhishen said anxiously, holding the woman in his arms tightly.
However, Mu Wanwan tried her best to push him away, but she was too weak and could not break free from Gu Zhishen's embrace.
"Today, today...you met again?" Mu Wanwan's voice was filled with despair and pain, as if her heart had been torn apart.
A piercing pain spread from her heart, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on Mu Wanwan's forehead. Waves of intense pain also came from her lower abdomen.
“Honey, we only took a few sets of photos. My agent was with me the whole time, and he can testify to that,” Gu Zhishen said anxiously, trying to convince Mu Wanwan of his innocence.
However, the person in his arms did not make a sound; their body was just trembling.
"Wife!" Gu Zhishen finally noticed something was wrong. He hurriedly turned on the light and looked at Mu Wanwan nervously.
As soon as he released her, Mu Wanwan curled up into a ball, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands, letting out a soft, painful groan: "It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Gu Zhishen looked at her helplessly, and just as he reached out to pick her up, she pushed him away violently. "Take me to the hospital! Hurry!" Her voice was filled with despair and fear, which was heartbreaking.
Without the slightest hesitation, he picked her up again and rushed downstairs. His heart was in his throat the whole way, terrified something might happen. When they arrived at the hospital, he squatted alone outside the emergency room, his eyes fixed on the blood on his hands, his mind blank. He was terrified and at a loss; the glaring bloodstains on Mu Wanwan's pants stung his eyes, and his heart was filled with worry and self-reproach.
Just then, the doctor came out and took off his mask. Gu Zhishen stood up unsteadily, so nervous that he could hardly breathe. He gripped the doctor's hand tightly, his heart pounding in his chest. "Doctor, how is she?" His voice trembled, filled with anxiety.
The doctor's expression was serious as he said solemnly, "Both the adult and the child are fine!" Hearing this, Gu Zhishen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then the doctor's reprimanding voice rang out again. "You're her husband, aren't you?" Gu Zhishen nodded, a hint of guilt on his face.
The doctor continued, "How could you be so irresponsible? A pregnant woman's emotions are extremely important to the fetus. If she is in a state of anxiety and tension for a long time, it will increase the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. You men just don't know how to care for women. If she hadn't been brought here in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. You need to pay more attention to her in the future, understand?" Gu Zhishen nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely pay attention.
