Chapter 14 Misunderstandings Cleared
Cousin saw Gu Zhaoyu and rubbed his eyes.
"Wait, did I enter wrong? Let me try again."
He backed out, closed the door, opened it, came in again, rubbed his eyes once more, then yelled.
"Gu Zhaoyu, beating me wasn't enough—you dare come bully my sister? I'll kill you."
He charged forward.
Gu Zhaoyu's originally murderous face blanked at the second half, then he protected his face, letting Cousin's fists land on his body.
I hurriedly pulled Cousin back.
"He didn't bully me. I'm fine."
"Look at what he's wearing, and you say no bullying." He thought of something and quickly covered his girlfriend's eyes. "Oh no, baby, don't look. You'll get a sty."
Moments later, Gu Zhaoyu wore Cousin's clothes. The four of us sat on the sofa, facing each other.
I said, "So, you thought Cousin and I were boyfriend and girlfriend, thought he cheated, so you hit him?"
Gu Zhaoyu said, "You thought I was your sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend? We've been together so many years—you didn't know if I had women around?"
I was speechless. What you did after work, I didn't know. I was just the Secretary.
Cousin said, "So I took that beating for nothing?"
Gu Zhaoyu said, "Not really. You had someone switch my company's menu."
Cousin said, "Then you had someone water my company's Money Tree."
I quietly raised my hand. "Cough, I watered the Money Tree myself."
Cousin slapped his forehead. "Elbow turning outward!"
Gu Zhaoyu's lips curved up slightly.
Sister-in-law pulled Cousin. "Since sister's fine, let's go."
Cousin looked pitiful. "But I have nowhere to go. If I go home, Mom will nag about marriage. Sister has someone here... I'm homeless now."
Sister-in-law said, "Come to my place then."
"Let's go quick." Cousin's legs moved fast. At the door, he stopped. "Sister, you're double-standard. Why can he go shirtless at home, but I can't? I'll tell Aunt."
Sister-in-law covered his mouth and dragged him away.
In the house, only Gu Zhaoyu and I remained.
Gu Zhaoyu stripped off Cousin's clothes. The bright flesh hit my eyes.
Ouch!
I didn't want to cover my eyes.
My ears heated slightly, and my heart felt weird.
I lowered my head.
"Don't strip randomly."
"I'm not used to your cousin's clothes."
"Then wear mine?"
After I said it, I couldn't help laughing.
If he really wore my clothes...
Couldn't imagine.
Too seductive.
Gu Zhaoyu approached me. Warm breath circled my ear.
"You have no boyfriend, so why reject me?"
My heart was in chaos.
Why?
Gu Zhaoyu pressed aggressively.
"If you don't like me either, why help me in high school, always bring me food?"
"If you really didn't care about me, why have your mom help with my mom's medical fees?"
"Why follow me in university? Even to see mentors."
"Why no relationships all these years? Didn't want to? Or someone in your heart?"
"Why think my confession was a joke?"
"Lin Zhiyue, why?"
