Chapter 597: Five hundred and ninety-two trust crisis resolved

Ji Pianran was rarely one to get angry.

For her to suddenly lose her temper today, there must be a reason.

After hearing this, Ji Pianran remained silent, not wanting to speak.

It seemed as if she didn’t really want to communicate with Gu Chen.

This left Gu Chen utterly baffled.

Then, he carefully asked Ji Pianran, "Did I offend you in some way?"

"Is it something I did wrong?"

"Anyway, it can’t be because of Tang Tang, right."

Gu Chen was very patient as he continued to ask Ji Pianran.

In his view, there had to be a reason, he just didn’t know exactly what it was.

At that moment, Ji Pianran suddenly looked at Gu Chen with all due formality.

She then asked Gu Chen, "Don’t tell me you really don’t know anything."

Thrown by her question, Gu Chen was puzzled.

"Know what?"

He asked Ji Pianran, confused.

After hearing this, Ji Pianran sighed and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

This made Gu Chen feel very strange.

What should he be aware of? Even if he could predict the economic trends of the next decade, he still couldn’t understand what Ji Pianran was truly feeling.

A woman’s heart, a needle at the bottom of the ocean.

These six words couldn’t be more apt to describe Ji Pianran at this moment.

"Do you know about electromagnetism? In the Coulomb interaction between positive and negative charges, it can be shielded by other charges. When there are many positive and negative charges surrounding a positive charge, I can no longer feel your presence."

Suddenly, Ji Pianran began to talk about electromagnetism with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was completely at a loss; he had never expected Ji Pianran to suddenly start talking about this.

Positive and negative charges—this was to describe the relationship between the two of them.

"Do you mean to say that I haven’t been paying much attention to you?"

Gu Chen continued asking her.

Ji Pianran shook her head, her expression one of helplessness, as if unsure how to start explaining to Gu Chen.

In the end, Ji Pianran said, "Don’t you feel like there are a bit too many women around you now?"

"In the past few days since you’ve been back, I’ve smelled the perfume of at least two different women on you."

The moment Ji Pianran finished saying that, Gu Chen immediately understood what she meant.

He had been wondering what was wrong with Ji Pianran, only to realize that this was the issue.

"I’ve been in contact with them only because of work-related reasons, don’t misunderstand," Gu Chen quickly explained.

He had thought there was no need to discuss this sort of thing with Ji Pianran.

He believed that Ji Pianran would never doubt him.

After all, they were already together with a child of their own; was there any need for suspicion?

Yet, it was unexpected for Ji Pianran to become angry with Gu Chen over this issue.

After hearing this, Gu Chen spoke slowly, "I’m sorry, I should have told you before."

When Ji Pianran heard Gu Chen’s apology, her eyes suddenly reddened.

Nowadays, Gu Chen was like a star throughout Chuan City.

She watched with her own eyes as Gu Chen’s fame grew larger and larger.

The business he ran had evolved from a small restaurant into a real estate company.

Thinking back to the days when she accompanied Gu Chen to sell vegetables at the market.

She suddenly felt as if it was only yesterday.

And now, after just a few short months, it seemed like everything about Gu Chen had changed, yet also as if nothing had changed at all.

She didn’t know why, but she always felt she was not outstanding among the many women in Chuan City.

And the choices around Gu Chen seemed to be increasing.

That urgent and tense sense of security was gradually disappearing from her.

Whenever she looked at Gu Chen, she could always sense an element of uncertainty.

"But wife, do you think I could be that kind of person?" Gu Chen then had no choice but to say to Ji Pianran.

He truly hadn’t expected Ji Pianran to suspect him of such things.

As the person involved, whenever he thought about his current situation,

it was always a case of being busy with one thing after finishing another.

If he were swimming in work to the point of barely keeping his head above water, how could he have the mind to engage in such matters?

Ji Pianran’s distrust even made him feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

However, Gu Chen still said gravely, "Starting from tomorrow, you’ll join me."

"I have to work, where would I find the time?" Ji Pianran immediately shook her head.

"I was just saying it, really. You should do things as you see fit, it’s just that I haven’t fully processed my feelings yet."

After sensing Gu Chen’s attitude, that was already enough for Ji Pianran.

She herself didn’t intend to forcefully intervene in Gu Chen’s life; she just wanted an indication of his stance.

Now that Gu Chen had shown that attitude to her, she felt much more at ease.

She didn’t really distrust Gu Chen; she was just worried he might make a mistake.

"Don’t worry, wife. Your husband is somewhat of a public figure now. If I were to do something wrong, those tabloid reporters would’ve snapped a photo of it long ago," Gu Chen said to Ji Pianran with a laugh.

After hearing this, Ji Pianran gave Gu Chen a playful look of disdain.

"Alright, you really can’t be serious for one moment, can you? Go wash the dishes," she said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t leave upon hearing this; he remained standing there.

When Ji Pianran saw the look in Gu Chen’s eyes, she immediately became somewhat defensive.

"What are you up to? It’s not even dark yet," she said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled lightly at this and then said, "Anyway, there’s no one else at home."

After he said that, he pounced towards Ji Pianran.

Seeing Gu Chen’s wolfish behavior, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but be caught between laughter and tears.

About two hours passed.

Gu Chen came out of the room and began to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Ji Pianran meanwhile collapsed onto the bed and fell straight to sleep.

It wasn’t long before Broken Brow and the rest returned.

They were still tiptoeing around cautiously.

Only Tangtang was seen carrying bags and parcels in her hands.

Among the items were lots of snacks.

Aside from the snacks, there were also some cosmetics.

"Daddy, these are cosmetics I bought for mommy," Tangtang said to Gu Chen at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen glanced inside the house and then said, "Mommy is sleeping now; I’ll pass them on to her when she wakes up."

Tangtang nodded upon hearing this and then asked Gu Chen, "Daddy, is mommy still angry?"

She inquired tentatively.

Gu Chen smiled at this, "How could that be? Of course, mommy isn’t angry with you anymore."

"That’s good," Tangtang was genuinely startled by Ji Pianran’s uncharacteristic behavior today.

It was getting late, and after Broken Brow and the six of them left, Gu Chen told Tangtang to go to her room to sleep.

Gu Chen, now alone in the living room, couldn’t help but recall the words Ji Pianran had said earlier.
