Sweet Wedding and Pampering Love - C126
If she stared straight at him, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing. At most, she would just say that she hadn’t watched it, feeling curious; afraid that she would salivate the moment she saw the body of the boy she liked, just like those deeply infatuated girls in the TV series. Then she really wouldn’t have the face to see him again in the future.
In her short daze, Gu Zi asked once again to show that he was getting impatient from waiting. “How long are you going to wait?” In order to force her to give in quickly, he even deliberately sneezed, creating the impression that if he delayed for even a second longer, he would immediately fall ill.
Sure enough, the moment Ming Xue Mo, who purely liked him, heard his sneeze, she couldn’t care less and hastily walked over to him. She immediately responded, “It’s here.”
Picking up her clothes, she knocked on the door and said, “I’m coming in.” He then slightly twisted the door handle.
She first looked around the bathroom, searching for her target before lowering her eyes. There was nothing wrong with her prediction. She really couldn’t resist his seduction. Although only half of his chest was exposed, the rest of his body was covered by the bubbles in the bathtub. He was not as naked as when he first woke up in the lake, but his wet clothes were still clothes.
Stepping on the Japanese daughter-in-law’s little steps, she lowered her head and walked to the edge of the bathtub. Relying on her memory, she extended her clothes in front of him and moaned, “Your clothes.”
Gu Zi asked with satisfaction. He was so satisfied that she didn’t dare to look at him directly, so much that he even fell for this method of punishing her. “Are you being polite? Didn’t your teacher teach you to look into the eyes of others when you speak?”
Although Ming Xue Mo’s eyes lost the ability to look forward, upwards, to the left, and to the right, she could only look down. However, her brain hadn’t completely stopped working, and answering his obviously difficult question was also watertight, “I’m afraid that if I look at you, you’ll ask me for money.”
The corner of Gu Zi’s mouth curled into a smile as he shook his head helplessly. Such a clever girl, how did she become a moron when it came to matters related to her parents?
“Do you think you’re going to lose enough money today?”
“Can you put your clothes on first?” Ming Xuemei did not want to continue chatting with him openly. This feeling was simply too dangerous. It wasn’t that he was in danger, but that her thoughts were dangerous. She was afraid that she would lose control of herself and do something so perverted. If that happened, his lake would be wasted.
However, how could she know that Gu Zi asked him about the habit of watching her embarrassed expression right after she had gotten infected? Hearing her urge him on, he not only didn’t take the clothes, but instead started washing again, saying very sinisterly, “What, what does it do to you if I don’t wear clothes?”
“Of course.” Ming Xue Mo’s heart was actually like an earthen wall that had experienced many years of hardships. A light touch would cause it to collapse, but she still said frankly, “If you catch a cold, then I’ll have to pay more.”
Gu Zi asked someone who loved money so much, but all of a sudden, he felt that the word ‘money’ was too harsh.
Since this punishment did not achieve the result he wanted, he would do it in a different way. He would teach her a very cruel lesson and would not forgive her until she admitted her wrongs and gave in to them.
“Remember this.” Gu Zi pointed at her hatefully, then stood up from the bathtub with a frown. He walked over to the counter with his bare feet and pulled a towel to dry himself before taking the clothes she was holding with both hands.
His gaze had been on her face just now, and he hadn’t noticed what outfit she had given him. Now that she was wearing it, he immediately recognized her. Wasn’t this the outfit she had bought for him?
Gu Zi couldn’t help but sigh. What was the point of deliberately using this set of clothes? Was he trying to recall her good memories of him? Indeed, at the sight of the clothes, fragments of what she had done for him passed before his eyes, comforting him, making fruit salad for him, bringing him milk … Although it wasn’t a big deal, it was still incredibly warm. Other than her, no one else could do it, because he didn’t want others to get close to him …
Gu Qishao helplessly sighed in his heart. How could such a smart girl like her like to be the center of attention? Did she know how worrying it was for her to be so stubborn?
It seemed that he had to take a fierce dose of medicine in order to treat her illness!
Quickly putting on his clothes and pulling a towel to wipe the water off his hair, Gu Zi asked, “I’m done putting on. You can look up now.”
Ming Xue Mo secretly peeked at his pants and saw that his ankle was covered. Only then did she dare to slowly look up until she met his eyes. When she saw him wipe his hair, she suddenly felt a little sore in her nose, because she remembered how happy they had been then, how simple, how beautiful, and how happy that time would be no more.
Gu Qishao had been paying attention to her expression, so he naturally wouldn’t miss the flash of sadness in her eyes. He really didn’t want to talk about her. She didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself. She just jumped into a dead end and complained to herself. Serves her right.
He wasn’t going to pity her, he was going to make her suffer even more!
Pointing to the wet clothes that had just been changed, he said, “These clothes were washed by you. I declare that these clothes are expensive and can’t be washed by machine. They can only be washed by your hands.”
“What?” Ming Xue Mo was shocked again. Washing clothes? She usually washed her own personal clothes, which Aunt Yun washed. She had never tried such a large piece of clothing before, so she didn’t know if she could handle it.
In fact, he also didn’t want to let her soft, delicate, and boneless pair of hair soak in the water and do such menial work as washing clothes, but since she wanted to pass on this kind of message to her parents — he didn’t treat her very well, she was only a home tutor in his eyes. If there wasn’t anything special about it, they wouldn’t expect him to take care of them for her sake, so naturally, she had to pay the price for the “stupid thing” she had done. If he did not love her, he would punish her.
“I know you did.” Gu Zi asked, pretending to be unmoved. He even impatiently urged her, “Come, I’ll take you to the laundry room.”
Mingxue pursed her lips. Was she really going to wash? She really wanted to hold his arm and act like a spoiled child, telling him to just let it go like this, but … After thinking about how she had pushed him into the bone-piercing lake, what did it matter to her if she washed two pieces of clothes? It was because she wanted to challenge something she had never been involved in before, which was exactly why she was in the same predicament as him. Moreover, after she went abroad, wouldn’t she have to wash her own clothes …
Ming Xue Mo tried to convince herself to accept it, but her little mouth was still pouting, “What are the clothes for?”
Gu Zi Wen’s heart softened every time he saw her natural expression, but every time he heard her speak, he wished he could punish her harshly. Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still tried to be forceful in his words.
“What are you pretending for?” Gu Zi asked as he scolded her, “Just hold her with your arms.”
Mingxue’s pouting mouth fell. Was he purposely going to wet her clothes as well? Her buttocks were already soaked from the moment she sat in the car, and although she didn’t look at herself in the mirror, she could easily guess what she looked like. It gave people a feeling of suspicion as to whether she was wet or not; the clothes on her left side were wet from being in contact with his, and now she could wring out a puddle of wet clothes with a gentle twist of her hand. Ming Xue Mo didn’t want to face this tragic reality.
“Hurry up.” Gu Zi asked and urged.
Ming Xue Mo finally picked it up slowly, she twisted it randomly, then folded it and followed him downstairs with both hands.
Gu Zi had asked if he had wasted too much time putting on his clothes, so when they came downstairs, the other brothers had already finished their baths and had returned to the main hall to stand in a line for Principal Tan’s inspection. As a result, they could all see their young master walking in front like the second generation ancestor of a local owner, holding a lofty and aloof posture, while the eldest daughter of the Ming family, Ming Xuemei, turned into a maid, obediently holding on to her dripping clothes and walking pitifully behind him.
As a result, he was the first to laugh in his heart without any sympathy, “This young master has finally torn off his hypocritical mask, and is beginning to reveal his bullying face. Miss Ming, this little white rabbit, will sooner or later become his plate of food.”
Seeing this scene, Teacher Tang, who had been waiting in the living room for some time, couldn’t help but secretly laugh. Cooking, washing clothes, was she going to train Xue Mo to learn the two main chores she lived in? Xue Mei was too honest, how could she do whatever he said? Just like he said before, if one day he became a beast and she didn’t know how to fight back, what would she do?
This won’t do, she had to help her. A daughter-in-law relationship was very important to a harmonious family. Although it wasn’t that fast for her to call her mother-in-law, it was still a good idea to build a good foundation in advance.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Teacher Tang asked even though she already knew the answer.
Gu Zi’s tone of voice was arrogant, and his tone was so tough that it sounded like he was going to shake someone. “Don’t worry about it. This is a matter between me and this girl, we’ll settle it ourselves.” You better not think about protecting her. Today, no one will be able to protect her. ”
Teacher Tang gave him a sideways glance. Although he didn’t say anything, his expression was as though he was saying, “Are you trying to ascend to the heavens?”
She had been in this home for so many months, so Ming Xue knew Teacher Tang’s personality. Seeing that the two ladies were about to argue over her, she quickly said, “Auntie, it’s alright. You don’t have to worry about me.” The tone was extremely pitiful.
Gu Ziwen turned to look at her. If she could speak to him in such a soft manner, why would she need to suffer such torture? He clearly treated her much better than Teacher Tang. In the end, she also acted like the rest of her family didn’t have good eyesight and stood on Teacher Tang’s side! Hmph, she’ll just wait for him!
He walked towards the laundry room without a word.
Ming Xue Mo silently followed him.
There were still a few servants in the laundry room washing the clothes that A-Lie and the others had just brought over. Gu Zi asked and chased them out, leaving him and her inside. Looking at the spinning washing machine, for a second, he really wanted to take out all of the clothes inside for her to wash, but in the end it couldn’t be compared to the pain he felt for her. The drum didn’t need a sledgehammer; he believed she could figure it out by washing his clothes.
It was different from the time when the two of them worked in the kitchen together to make fruit salad. This time, when she looked back at the place, she only said, “Find your own tools.” He pulled up a stool and crossed his legs. It looked like he wanted to supervise the work.
Mingxiu looked around the laundry room, first taking a basin and putting his clothes in it, then looking for lotion and balm, and finally carrying them to the sink.
After pouring half a basin of water into the basin, Mingxue Jia poured in about two spoonfuls of washing liquid. Her two small hands intertwined as she began to rub his clothes bit by bit. After rubbing for less than a minute, she felt like she couldn’t hold on any longer because … His underwear had fallen out.
