Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife
Chapter 454: Creating Discord (5)

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Creating Discord (5)

I could hear the TV droning on nonsensically, as if there was no intention of changing the channel. There was no sound from the elderly at all.

When Gu Nuan came out of the shower, she saw the big white dog occupying nearly the entire bed, and then, just like at home, he started flipping through comic books.

Heavens. She was almost at a loss for words.

Grandma Zhou collected scrap, and thus, she really had gathered some discarded comic books and put them in the house. Consequently, this joyful kids’ friend, making the most of local resources and recycling, had moved Grandma Zhou’s collection of comic books to his own bedside.

"I haven’t read many of these." Noticing the look she shot him, the kid defended himself while reading the comic books.

Gu Nuan almost threw at him the line: Go ahead and read them, read all night if you want, no problem.

But then she thought, isn’t this what marriage is all about, to always respect each other’s preferences. His likes, after all, weren’t bad habits, they were just kindergarten level.

So Gu Nuan didn’t say anything and sat on the other side of the bed, massaging her freshly washed hair with a face towel.

Xiao Yebai’s eyes sneaked past the edge of the comic book, watching her silhouette as she dried her hair.

The fragrance of her black hair, like that of flowers, wafted into his nose. The big white dog sniffed hard twice, really wanting to pounce on her suddenly.

Gu Nuan’s back stiffened at once, feeling his hands suddenly reach over from behind.

The mood-killing knock on the door came at this moment.

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump, complemented by a few barks from dogs in the neighbor’s homes.

"Yebai, Yebai, I know you’re in there—"

Gu Nuan slightly turned her head, why did it feel like it was his sister’s voice?

At this moment, Xiao Yebai wished he could shred the person knocking below into pieces. The atmosphere with his wife had been so good just now, clearly about to get it on, and then this buzzkill shows up out of nowhere.

It didn’t matter who it was, they could make him so mad he could lose teeth.

Ignore it.

But the person downstairs was relentless, "Yebai, if you don’t open the door, your Sister Third will just sit right by this doorstep waiting for you to leave."

This silly Third Sister, what on earth got into her all of a sudden?

And how did she even find this place? Of course, anyone intent on finding this couple could hardly find it difficult. After all, they hadn’t been actively hiding their whereabouts, just letting things take their natural course.

Since Grandma Zhou seemed to be sleeping like the dead and hadn’t shown any reaction, he was even more afraid that the neighbors would hear and the whole village would come out to spectate, ruining the couple’s rare leisurely rural getaway.

Grandma Zhou’s house was a bit detached from the surrounding neighbors, standing alone.

Before anyone noticed, Gu Nuan pushed the big white dog that was clinging to her aside, got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went downstairs.

The big white dog followed her closely, cursing, "She’s gone mad!"

It’s not often you hear a madman calling someone else mad.

Gu Nuan didn’t comment.

Perhaps the Xiao family all had a gene for going mad. In fact, after meeting his sisters, she always felt that in some way, they were indeed somewhat like him. Who knows if those mother-in-laws had noticed it themselves.

When she reached the ground floor and turned on the light, Gu Nuan had just pulled open the two doors.

Standing at the doorway was indeed Xiao Shuju.

Upon hearing the creak of the door, Xiao Shuju had already gotten up, glaring at the two of them.

Gu Nuan knew why she was glaring because both of them were wearing clothes that were completely local to the village folk.
