Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Yunqing looked at Tong Xi’s face and asked, "Who called?"

Actually, he didn’t need to ask, he’d already pretty much... guessed it.

Tong Xi had no intention of hiding it from Yunqing, casually saying, "Gu Zhengming."

Yunqing pulled a smile, "Answer it. If you don’t pick up today, he’ll still call again! You can dodge for a while, but not forever!"

Tong Xi: "..."

It was true; that guy Gu Zhengming came over on New Year’s Day. It’s just that at that time, she went to the Shen Family with Yunqing and missed him.

And here on the fifteenth, Gu Zhengming’s call was coming through again.

Speaking of which, the old lady of the Tong Family sighed.

"What’s up with that kid, coming here on New Year’s Day, and now he’s calling Xiaoxiao on the fifteenth too. Is it... really fun?"

As she spoke, the old lady’s gaze fell on Yunqing, smiling and saying, "Yunqing, don’t worry, we only recognize you as our grandson-in-law."

Yunqing burst out laughing.

"Grandma, even if you didn’t want to, you can’t change it! Now I have the certificate!"

The old lady and old man both laughed.

Xu Bing urged Tong Xi, "You should hurry up and take the call, make things clear to Gu Zhengming, otherwise it really won’t settle down!"

Tong Xi simply walked out of the living room and went to the courtyard to answer the phone.

"Tong Xi..."

When the call connected, Gu Zhengming’s deep and hoarse voice came through.

Tong Xi frowned slightly.

"Mr. Gu, I don’t think we’re acquainted well enough, nor do I believe there’s anything left for us to discuss. Please stop calling!"

Tong Xi’s voice was so cold, and as she finished speaking she was ready to hang up, but Gu Zhengming hurriedly said, "Don’t hang up..."

His voice was filled with bitterness and desolation, completely different from his formerly confident self.

"I miss you... really, I miss you so much!"

Tong Xi squinted her eyes.

"Mr. Gu, you’re drunk!"

"Heh heh... Drunk? I’ve indeed had a lot to drink, but I’m not drunk; actually, I’m becoming clearer."

Since he came to visit on New Year’s Day and didn’t see Tong Xi, but learned from the Tong Family that they had all acknowledged Yunqing, Gu Zhengming felt as if he was sick.

These days, he’s been sitting alone at home, absent-minded.

Scenes from the past flash through his mind like a movie.

If Tong Xi hadn’t appeared, then his life... would probably continue like this.

Yet she reappeared, in front of him, and at that moment, he felt as though it was redemption. But then realized, she was right in front of him, yet she... didn’t belong to him anymore.

And these days, he’s been getting drunk every day, wanting to forget, but her face just becomes clearer.

After getting drunk and suffering from a throbbing headache, her image and voice kept lingering by his ear, flashing in his mind.

That little girl who once gave her warmth and love...

Once he gave up on her for his career, but now, she’s the one he can’t have.

Tong Xi’s cold voice came through.

"Mr. Gu, if you’re drunk, go home and sleep, or if you want someone to talk to, please find someone else. Sorry, I don’t have time to listen to your ramblings."

This time, Tong Xi really intended to hang up the call, but heard a sorrowful voice from the other side.

"Tong Xi, I’m right outside your house... Can you come out... and see me?"
