Chapter 389: Chapter 389: In This World, I Only Fear You (8)

Gu Nuan knew it was because Mom didn’t want to hear Aunt Qiu nagging.

Aunt Qiu, when faced with her, Gu Nuan, didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, after all, she always worried that Gu Nuan might not help her, Aunt Qiu, make money in the future.

Mom took some clothes to wash up.

Gu Nuan walked back to the living room and saw the big white dog flipping through children’s books again; she said, "My mom is here, and you’re still doing this?"

Wasn’t this big white dog quite good at pretending?

Xiao Yebai looked up from the book and said, "Mom knows I love to read children’s books. I’ve told her about it, and she even said that your dad also likes storybooks, we have a set at home, but they’ve just gotten moldy."

Gu Nuan pretended not to hear what he said.

"When can I meet your dad?" He turned around, squinted at her, like a kid scheming to scoop candy, "I think your dad would like me."

"In your dreams—" Gu Nuan replied offhandedly.

"How about, I accompany Mom to your hometown tomorrow, to meet your dad first?"

Gu Nuan was forced to put on a stern face, "I heard today that the Chairman suspended all of your bank cards."

Upon hearíng this, he squinted even harder, "What, are you afraid I have no money now, can’t afford to keep you?"

"I remember you once said on some TV show, you said that if you marry a wife, you would definitely not let her take a cent of your money." Gu Nuan also later found out, it was those sorts of sensational statements that won him the favor of netizens. Those words really catered to men’s taste, provoking a chorus of cursing from women.

"It’s simple, if someone leaves, how could I possibly give money to a woman who betrayed me?"

Gu Nuan lifted her head and saw his face, just like the first time they had a face-to-face conversation in this apartment, cunningly hidden in the shadows under the ceiling lights.

These days, he always showed her another face, almost making her forget his original one.

Feeling her slight shiver, his hand reached out, gently caressing her cheek, "As long as you stay with me for a lifetime, this kind of thing would definitely not happen."

Gu Nuan said, "I never thought about taking your money."

"I know, I never planned to tie you down with money. But since you just asked about it, I’m just explaining," he said, getting closer to her face, as if smelling the scent on her and her breath, "Are you nervous?"

"What a joke you’re telling—"

"What, are you afraid I’ll lose to my dad?"

Gu Nuan was startled, realizing that her question to him just now was actually a subconscious reaction.

He was, after all, confronting his own father.

And his father was no ordinary person, but a man known as the Crocodile King in the business world, Xiao Jianming. The crocodiles big and small that had been devoured by Xiao Jianming were too numerous to count.

His long, pale fingers tapped her cheek lightly, "I can tell you honestly, there’s no one in this world I’m afraid of, except one person."

"Who?"

"You—"

Gu Nuan’s pupils narrowed suddenly.

After his finger touched her red lips, he brought his own lips closer to hers.

After taking a shower, Mom saw what the two young people were doing in the living room. She thought to herself, Good heavens, they really are in the sweet phase of a newlywed couple, and turned to hide in her room.

The next morning, Gu Nuan and her son-in-law accompanied Mom to the airport together.

Mom suddenly went from the level of riding long-distance buses to sitting in the first class of an airplane.
