Chapter 66: Chapter 66 A Manâs Feelings_1
Translator: 549690339
In most peopleâs understanding, when a man keeps a mistress, he covets their body.
They are indeed allured by the youth, energy, and vitality in them.
Afterward, they would give them money and if they are generous, they might buy them houses and cars.
But in Ye Mengyanâs case, Gu Yuanzhou arranged meticulously, even taking care of things like motion sickness pills, first aid kits, and sanitary napkins for her.
This illustrates one thing.
He has never seen her as a mistress.
He loved her.
Deeply loved her.
Thinking of this, my heart still collapsed.
Ye Mengyan, however, seemed oblivious to my grief, still fiddling with her things in her suitcase.
âHey, some people say men become bad when they have money, but I see Gu Yuanzhou isnât one of those bad men. Look, he even prepares chocolates for me to eat in the car, as well as my stomach medicine and wet wipes⊠Shen Yishu is kind to me too, but he isnât this thoughtful! Shen Yishuâs love is narrow, he thought as long as he has me, thatâs itâŠâ
Ye Mengyan sighed.
I forced a bitter smile.
Whether a man loves you or is considerate of you also depends to some extent on his financial status.
If he has no money, he naturally canât give you what you want.
âSo, you say, wouldnât it be better for me to choose Gu Yuanzhou than Shen Yishu?â
âBut, Gu Yuanzhou is more than a decade older than you. With such a large age gap, when youâre still at your prime, heâd already be old. You two might not be able to live together due to different habits.â
âNo way! I wonât mind Gu Yuanzhou being older. On the contrary, an older man can give me a sense of security. Being with him, I donât need to worry about anything, he arranges everything for me.â
Whenever Gu Yuanzhou was mentioned, Ye Mengyanâs face was still filled with a blissful smile, completely resembling a girl deeply in love.
I saw my own past self in her.
Observing my saddened look, Ye Mengyan quickly explained,
âXiaoyun, Gu Yuanzhou is single now. I like him and want to be with him. Is that too much to ask?â
âWhy donât you wait until the Golden Bay arson case ends before deciding?â
I was reminding her that she might be in love with a culprit who killed his wife and child.
Ye Mengyan shook her head,
âI understand what you mean, but I can assure you that Gu Yuanzhou would never do such a thing. Moreover, at such a time, he needs understanding and trust more than ever, and I will trust and support him unconditionally.â
Her words left me stunned.
I hadnât expected Ye Mengyan to be so steadfast.
âHave you visited your aunt in the past few days?â
âYes!â
âDid she mention anything else?â
I wanted to find out from her what Gu Yuanzhou had instructed her on how to persuade Wu Jun.
But Ye Mengyan seemed very guarded, and immediately steered the conversation away,
âXiaoyun, Iâve tidied your room for you. You take the bedroom on the first floor. This room has a south-facing window, so the view is great.â
âGreat, thank you!â
Just like that, I moved into Gu Yuanzhouâs mistressâ house.
How ironic⊠it never crossed my mind that one day Iâd end up living under the same roof as Gu Yuanzhouâs lover.
And that weâd coexist peacefully!
The next day, the weekend, it rained the whole day.
I stood by the window early in the morning, watching the wisteria flowers outside being battered by the storm, scattering petals all over the courtyard.
Ye Mengyan knocked on the door and poked her head in,
âXiaoyun, that white BMW outside is yours, right?â
âOh, yes⊠itâs the companyâs car assigned to me!â
âCould I borrow it? I need to buy groceries!â
âSure!â
I handed her the car keys and couldnât help but ask,
âDidnât Gu Yuanzhou buy you a car?â
Ye Mengyan blushed, âHe doesnât allow me to drive!â
âWhy?â đ§đđŠđŠđâŻđŁđđžđżâŻđ.đđžđ
âHe says itâs dangerous for girls to drive! He arranged a driver, Old Ma, for me. If I ever need, I could call Old Ma. But I know my place, and I donât dare trouble others.â
I was once again surprised and muttered to myself about the display of affection this early in the morning.
âArenât you afraid heâll be upset now that youâre driving?â
âDonât worry, he doesnât know. The market isnât far, Iâll be back soon, is there anything you want me to bring back?â
âNo!â
âOkay then! Iâm off!â
Having taken the car keys, Ye Mengyan walked out.
I held my forehead and sighed, rubbing my face. Did I actually move here to torment myself? Keep calm, stay cool, Gu Yuanzhou, isnât my man anymore.
Oh, maybe, he hasnât been mine since four years ago.
Or maybe, he never loved me at all.
But that night, when we were trying to conjure spirits, he clutched me, apologizing to our baby. I could feel his love was still so deep, so intense.
Gu Yuanzhou, what exactly are you thinking?
Half an hour later, Ye Mengyan was back.
She bought vegetables and meats, then started preparing lunch.
Ye Mengyan, like Wu Jun, was efficient at housework, a clever woman indeed.
I went to the kitchen to help her with the vegetables, hoping to learn more details about Wu Jun, but she was very shrewd.
She was willing to discuss anything with me, but when it came to Wu Jun, she always sidestepped the topic.
âBy the way, what will your mother do after you go to France?â
âDonât worry about that. Gu Yuanzhou has arranged everything. My mother needs to have dialysis once a month at the hospital. Heâs arranged for someone to pick her upâŠâ
âHe is so good to you!â
âYes! Thatâs why I consider myself super lucky!â
She was super lucky, what about me?
Perhaps I was the super unlucky one then.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang, I opened the door.
The rain was still pouring outside. A man in a black trench coat stood in the rain, holding a black umbrella. But somehow, the rain managed to seep through the fabric, wetting his black hair.
Raindrops ran down from his hair, also dampening his dark eyes.
His gaze was as cold as the autumn rain,
âPresident Gu, youâve arrived!â
I hurriedly opened the door.
As he entered, he brought in a chill.
He closed the umbrella and handed it to me. As I reached to take the umbrella, with either intention or otherwise, he brushed against my hand.
I instantly pulled back, causing the umbrella to fall to the ground.
As I bent down to pick up the umbrella, Ye Mengyan came out of the kitchen.
She greeted him joyfully, handing him a dry towel.
âGu Yuanzhou, youâre here to see me?â
Gu Yuanzhou just nodded slightly; his gaze fixed on me.
