Chapter 76: You Deserve It!
Proofread by Yu Bing
Gu Zechen’s words that he is far smarter when drunken than she is even when sober begin to take root in her head, which casts a dark shadow and like a net, she can’t run away from it. Although her pride doesn’t allow her to admit this, she finds that Gu Zechen really outsmarts her.
Gu’s card game is still going on. When An Rong catches a glimpse of Su Ni and Gu Zechen coming back together, she looks frightened. She quickly stops playing cards and hurriedly stands up and says, “Su Ni, when did you go out? Why didn’t you tell me? Look at me! How careless and negligent I was!” She says, her hand tapping her forehead, in deep remorse. “I was too occupied with playing cards, Su Ni, I’m sorry.” Later, she looks towards Gu Zechen and continues to apologize, “Son, it’s all my fault.” “Nothing.” Gu Zechen put his arm around Su Ni’s shoulder and goes upstairs with an expressionless look. “I took her out for dinner.” On hearing this, An Rong feels relieved. She has to put an end to the game. The ladies say goodbye and leave one by one. Su Ni looks at them and says, “I’m hungry. You told Mom I’ve had my dinner. What am I going to do now?” “You deserve it!.” Without lifting his head, he says the words softly. Su Ni opens her eyes wide and looks wronged, saying, “Oh, no, Gu Zechen, you can’t be too cruel…”
As she says, she walks towards Gu Zechen, but before she approaches him, Gu Zechen stretches his hand and blocks her way. His eyes cold, he says with no sympathy: “This is your due punishment for your going out today without asking my permission. If you don’t want to even have nothing for dinner, you’d better stay quiet for a while.” When Su Ni hears this, she rolls her eyes, leans back and collapses on the bed. “I can’t bear this life any longer” Su Ni looks up at the sky with her eyes vacant, and says, clenching her teeth. Gu Zechen doesn’t respond to her complaint. Su Ni rubs against her gurgling belly, full of grievances. After a while, she hears someone knocking on the door. Su Ni opens the door and then the housemaid tells her: “Mrs Gu, your dress has been delivered.” “Dress, what dress?” Su Ni is stunned. “I ordered it.” Gu Zechen answers for the servant. After Su Ni takes the dress, she is full of doubts and stares at Gu Zechen incomprehensibly. “Well, why do you order the dress?” Upon saying that, Su Ni suddenly remembers something and then taps her head, exclaiming, “Is it for the dinner party that Gu family canceled before?” “Now that you’re so energetic that I guess you’re all right. Come with me tonight.” Gu Zechen stretches his mouth a little bit, which is equivalent to a smile. Su Ni’s mind is no longer on Gu Zechen. She opens the gift box quickly. It is a white off the shoulder evening dress.
“Wow!” Su Ni’s face is full of surprise, showing a girl’s coyness. Then she quickly picks up the dress and takes a close look at the dress. Her heart cheerful, she asks, “Gu Zechen, did you design this?” “No.” Gu Zechen looks calm, sits down again, quickly runs his finger across the IPAD, and murmurs, “If you like it, I can give you the contact information of the designer. Next time, you can go directly to her to select your dress.” “Oh”, Su Ni furtively looks at Gu Zechen’s expression, and tentatively asks: “Do you know each other very well?” “Sort of.” Gu Zechen blurts out, and soon he becomes alert, frowns slightly, looks up at Su Ni and says, “She is a an old friend of mine, who hasn’t been here for several years.” “Such a talented designer must be very famous. I really want to see her in person. I like her style very much.” In front of Gu Zechen, Su Ni takes off her suit and begins to try on her new dress. Gu Zechen just looks up, and soon lowers his head, pretending to be busy. “Honey, come here and help me…” Su Ni tries to pull up the zipper from behind, but in vain. Su Ni has to ask for help. Gu Zechen stands up and looks at the woman in the mirror standing in beige silk dress. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes and exquisite figure are not the style he imagines, but they still make him unable to move his eyes.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“What are you looking at? Hurry up.” Su Ni turns around, complaining. Gu Zechen’s face is expressionless. He quickly pulls up the zipper and is about to turn around when Su Ni puts her arm around his neck on tiptoe. She smiles and then asks, “How do I look in this dress?” “Not bad.” Gu Zechen nods and gives an evaluation that can’t be counted as a compliment. Su Ni curls her mouth and is slightly dissatisfied. “It’s a dress you choose yourself. How miserly you are by just giving such a mediocre remark “not bad”! “The front design of the dress is an iris in full size, but your bosom is too big, which leads to some deformation of the purple iris. And here, the loose hem design is intended to highlight the thin waist of the wearer, but you…”Gu Zechen says, shaking his head to show pity for her. Su Ni quickly touches her waist and askes in horror, “Is my waist getting thicker?” Gu Zechen still shakes his head, looks at the nervous woman in the mirror, and cannot bear to tell her the truth, “it is your ass that is too big, which destroys the overall beauty of the dress.” On hearing this, Su Ni takes a deep breath. “Do you mean that this dress is for people with flat chests and flat bottoms?” She asks angrily in bitter smile, with her arms crossed and her head turning back. Gu Zechen is slightly shocked. It seems that Su Ni is not wrong. The girl in his dream really can’t compare with Su Ni’s in the body shape. It is his fault.
Su Ni turns around twice in front of the mirror. She is not as picky as Gu Zechen is. She thinks the strapless dress suits her very well. “I don’t expect your figure to be like this.” Suddenly he says. For a long time, Gu Zechen seems to occupied with something else and after a long while he comes back to the earth. “How is that?” Su Ni doesn’t want to waste the chance to dig deeper, so she continues to probe. Gu Zechen’s face is dark and his eyes are evading her stare, as if trying to hide something. He turns around and looks out of the window. “If you are ready, we’ll leave now.” This is the first time Su Ni sees Gu Zechen so defeated and upset, mysteriously and for some reasons she herself can’t explain, she feels very happy. So she decides to let him go this time and she hugs him from behind. She says with coquetry: “Well, you are so mean. It seems that it will kill you to admit that I have a good figure. Anyway, I can understand.” She doesn’t notice that Gu Zechen’s body gradually becomes stiff. He still stands in the same place and maintains the same posture as he did half an hour ago until Su Ni finishes making up and picks up a pair of cream white earrings made of Japanese pearls to match her dress. “Let’s go.” Su Ni puts her hand under his arm and smiles at him beamingly. Gu Zechen doesn’t respond. He steps out without saying anything all the way. Su Ni deliberately starts the topic and asks about the dark green suit he wore last time. “I really like it, but I can’t wear it again.” “…… It is your brain child, the outcome of your hard work. “Su Ni continues. Gu Zechen still doesn’t say anything. Su Ni slightly curls his mouth, takes Gu Zechen’s hand into hers and leans lightly on him.
