Black Lotus - Chapter 2

Sitting weakly on the ground, Wen Niannan hugged his trembling body, letting the blood faint on his shirt.

The butler, Uncle Xu, wanted to come and help him, but Wen Niannan stepped back. “Don’t come… Don’t… I’ll calm down for a while.”

Uncle Xu pulled his hand back and looked at the person sitting on the floor worriedly. “Mr. Wen, we need to bandage your hand.”

Wen Niannan raised his head, and with a tired look on his face, he said, “I’m fine. I’ll go back to my own room. Can you ask Aunt Lan to prepare dinner? I’ll go lie down for a bit.”

He walked quickly across the room and hurriedly turned on all the lights as Wen Niannan’s trembling body gradually relaxed down. He was afraid of touching and afraid of the darkness due to the trauma of his early years. He had been working hard to overcome his fear, but he made a stress response when Gu Yansheng touched him.

In the past few years, he has been carefully maintaining this marriage, and had felt that he had reached the limit, but still can’t reach his heart.

In fact, it should have been understood long ago. Wen Niannan had long known that he would always act humble in front of Gu Yansheng. Even when Gu Yansheng poured a glass of wine on his head in front of everyone at their wedding, he just smiled in embarrassment and said that he was only drunk.

The red wine flowed down the white suit and fainted. Wen Niannan could feel the mocking eyes of the people around him. Outsiders felt that his ordinary family and they were not in the same world at all. But for him to become the president’s husband, the president of the Gu Family Cooperation, who was able to climb the power of the industry. They thought that Wen Niannan must’ve used shameless methods.

After seeing Gu Yansheng’s attitude towards him, the people around were even more sure that their guess wasn’t merely a guess and pointed fingers at him.

Of course, he knew that Gu Yansheng had deliberately made him look like a loser in front of everyone so that he couldn’t raise his head in the future. He replaced the position that should belong to Shen Luoan.

When Wen Niannan woke up, it was already dark out. When he came down from the upper floor, he saw Gu Yansheng sitting in the dining room. His movements were elegant and charming, just like the first time he had met him at the birthday party.

When Aunt Lan saw Wen Niannan coming down, she stepped forward and shouted, “Mr. Wen.”

“Yeah.”

Wen Niannan pulled the chair next to Gu Yansheng and sat down for the meal. The two of them ate the food on their own plates in silence.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air. Gu Yansheng frowned when he smelled it and glanced up at the person who was currently picking up some coriander. There were still obvious palm prints on his face and the bandage attracted his attention.

That wound… was from the photo…

Gu Yansheng knew that Wen Niannan paid much attention to his appearance, and was afraid of leaving scars. Although he already smelled the disinfectant, Gu Yansheng still asked, “Your face looks swollen, it is really squeamish, don’t you know to put some medicine on?” Gu Yansheng said with a look of disgust.

Wen Niannan squeezed the spoon in his hand, released his hand when he felt the pain, and replied, “I’ve already applied some medicine, I’ll just place some ice on it later.”

Is this… Is he worried? Wen Niannan’s heart suddenly felt warm.

Gu Yansheng went on to say, “I will go back to the old house to see my mother in a few days. Don’t leave any scars and let my mother find out.”

Sure enough, he had thought about it, how could he care about him…

Ding~

Gu Yansheng took the phone to check. The message was from an unfamiliar number, his face turned gloomy after clicking on it.

Seeing Gu Yansheng with a sudden change of expression, Wen Niannan asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Is something wrong with the company?”

Gu Yansheng suddenly overturned the table and turned to the door. The sound of the car outside the house gradually disappeared, leaving nothing but the embarrassed Wen Niannan not knowing what to do.
