Chapter 20: Kick out the white moonlight, the Best Actor is mine! -20
"Ziting, it's so good that you've come to your senses. I'm sorry about earlier, I thought..."
Mo Ziting suppressed her grievances and asked, "So, A-Shen, we're still friends, right?"
Gu Zhishen hummed in agreement. After all, they were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together, and it wasn't impossible for them to forget the past and become good friends, given their past affection.
"Ah Shen, I have a favor to ask, could you please help me?"
After listening to the explanation, Gu Zhishen agreed.
The agent reminded him, "Brother Gu, you need to know how to keep your distance from women other than your wife."
"I have my measure."
The agent shook his head helplessly.
As Mu Wanwan stepped out of the kindergarten gate after get off work, a Xiaomi SU7 screeched to a halt in front of her. The window slowly rolled down. "Wife! Get in!"
She looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, opened the passenger door and got in. Gu Zhishen leaned over to help her fasten her seatbelt.
"I'll do it myself!"
He reluctantly withdrew his hand and, as if by magic, presented a bouquet of red roses.
Mu Wanwan stared at the man before her in surprise, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up inside her. Since they met and got together, he had never proactively given her flowers. However, today's gesture broke with tradition, filling her with unexpected joy and happiness. This sudden display of romance left her feeling slightly uneasy.
"Wife, this is for you!"
She took the flowers with both hands, brought them to her nose, and inhaled the rich fragrance of roses.
"Thank you."
He's an actor who's given flowers countless times in dramas, but the girls were always happy because of the plot. Today, he specifically asked his agent if girls all like flowers, and received an affirmative answer. So after get off work, he went to a florist to personally pick out a bouquet for her. This was the first time he had ever truly given flowers to a girl.
Seeing that she wasn't as happy as he had imagined, he felt a little annoyed. She was fine when she had dinner with her parents last night, so why was she so sullen now? He couldn't figure out what was on her mind.
The car hadn't started, and Mu Wanwan, holding flowers, looked even more beautiful and charming against the backdrop of red roses.
She looked out the window and then pointed with her right hand to the flower bed at the school gate.
"Gu Zhishen, look!"
Gu Zhishen looked in the direction she was pointing, but didn't see anyone.
"Honey, what are you looking at?"
Was that girl who passed by pretty?
Gu Zhishen finally found his target. The girl looked to be in her early twenties, with a high ponytail that swayed gently as she walked. She was full of energy and youthful vigor!
"From the side, she looks pretty good, and she shouldn't grow up to be ugly! She's definitely a beauty."
Mu Wanwan looked out the car window, her eyes fixed on the girl's departing figure, unable to look away for a long time.
"Yes, I think it's beautiful too. You'll meet many more people like that in the future..."
Gu Zhishen leaned close to her face and gently kissed her, a sudden sense of panic rising within him. He realized that his wife's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and that she hadn't called him "husband" as usual, but rather by his full name.
This made him very uneasy, so he anxiously asked, "Honey, don't scare me. Did I do something wrong or something bad? Tell me quickly! You know I'm a bit slow when it comes to feelings, so if you don't tell me directly, I definitely won't be able to guess the reason."
Mu Wanwan slowly withdrew her gaze and replied in a calm tone, "It's nothing. I just had an open class at the kindergarten today, and many teachers from other classes, school leaders, and city leaders came to observe, so I feel a little tired. Let's go home and rest."
After she finished speaking, she quickly kissed him on the cheek, but the kiss was brief and gentle, as if it were just a perfunctory gesture.
As the car started, she held the flowers, tilted her head slightly to the side, closed her eyes, and took a nap. He didn't dare to utter a word during the drive, afraid of upsetting her again.
He went over his actions from yesterday to today along the way, but couldn't find anything wrong with them. Could it be...?
When they got home, he again took the initiative to get slippers for Mu Wanwan, then helped carry the flowers into the living room, and came back to get her coat...
His recent interactions with her have made him adept at these tasks and able to do them in an orderly manner.
"Honey, you've worked hard today. Can I cook dinner?"
Mu Wanwan glanced at him, shook her head, and said somewhat helplessly, "Are you sure your stomach can handle the food you made?" Hearing this, Gu Zhishen couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. He knew his cooking skills needed improvement, after all, it wasn't his forte. However, he didn't give up, but decided to continue working hard to learn cooking techniques.
"I'll do it. You can clear the dishes and wash them later."
Mu Wanwan suggested. Gu Zhishen nodded in agreement. And so, they began to divide the work.
Gu Zhishen was responsible for the preliminary preparations, such as picking, washing, and chopping vegetables.
After a period of practice, these basic skills are no longer unfamiliar to him; in fact, he can be said to have mastered them.
Mu Wanwan, on the other hand, focused on the crucial step of stir-frying.
However, Gu Zhishen was unable to concentrate on completing the task at hand. He would occasionally look up at Mu Wanwan, trying to read some emotions or thoughts from her expression, but each time he could only see her calm and indifferent face.
Finally, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he put down the vegetables he was picking, went to the sink to wash his hands, and dried them with a tissue. Then, he walked straight to Mu Wanwan, grabbed her arm, and pulled her close to him.
Mu Wanwan was completely taken aback by Gu Zhishen's sudden action. She stared at him in astonishment, her eyes wide.
Before she could react, Gu Zhishen's lips were already pressed against hers. Startled by his sudden kiss, Mu Wanwan stammered, "What are you doing? I'm cooking porridge!"
Her voice carried a hint of surprise and shyness, and a faint blush rose on her face.
He reached out and skillfully turned off the heat from the porridge.
"Honey, I feel so bad, can you please stop ignoring me?"
Is it because I didn't tell you the truth about my family that you're angry? Is that why you're giving me the cold shoulder?
He pulled her into his arms with great force, wanting to embed her into his body and become one with him.
Mu Wanwan's mind was in turmoil; she wanted to push him away but felt a pang of reluctance. She sighed helplessly and whispered, "Could you let go of me first?"
Gu Zhishen held her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go. His voice was low and hoarse, filled with pleading: "I don't want to let go."
He then felt a dampness on his chest, and he quickly cupped her cheeks in his hands, while she was already in tears.
Gu Zhishen panicked instantly, "Wife, don't cry, don't cry..."
