If Lin Yiqian had such an intention, she should not have made him upset in the first place.

As Gu Nianshen thought about it, his facial expression turned gloomy as he snorted.

Meanwhile, Lin Yiqian received a text from Gu Nianjia. “I have tested the waters with my brother. It doesn't look like he's very upset. You just have to be a little proactive.”

Did Gu Nianjia actually talk to her brother?

Lin Yiqian felt somewhat surprised as she instinctively looked over to the balcony. The man was still sitting on the bamboo chair as he looked down at his phone.

Could he be chatting with Gu Nianjia?

“After all, she's a lady. It's much harder to take the first step. As a man, and as her husband, you must be more proactive. Looking after one's wife is a virtue in our country.”

“Our country's virtue? Did you invent it and pa.s.s it down?” Gu Nianshen frowned.

Did he not look after her enough?

Had he not been sufficiently patient with her? Not only did she refuse to wear his jersey during the basketball match, but she had also sat on his opponent's side of the court. He also allowed her to keep the little jerk just because she liked him.

On the other hand, she had locked the door and kept him outside. He had to risk his life by climbing into the room from the balcony. Despite all that, he had not raised his voice at her at all.

Due to her allergy to alcohol, Gu Nianshen would rather clean himself up after drinking than to touch her directly.

How did this stupid woman treat him?

She ended up eating all of the lobsters she had bought for him. Moreover, she had even refused to let him touch her. She was an absolutely terrible wife!

The more Gu Nianshen thought about it, the more upset he became. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Lin Yiqian.

“The celebration is taking place in two days. Our youngest uncle will be there as well. If you don't patch things up with my sister-in-law, he might make a move on her. What will you do then?” Gu Nianjia wrote to Gu Nianshen yet again.

As soon as Gu Nianshen saw the words 'our youngest uncle', his facial expression turned gloomy.

Without replying to Gu Nianjia, he took a screenshot of their conversation before opening her contact card and deleting their conversation.

Then, he glanced over at the woman who was lying on the bed in the room. She was now looking at her phone whilst facing him. He wondered when she had done so.

Lin Yiqian seemed to be concentrating on something on her phone. It definitely did not look like she was chatting with Gu Nianjia.

Whilst he pondered, Lin Yiqian flipped on the bed and was now lying in the center of the bed. She seemed to be completely relaxed on the bed all on her own.

Did she think that Gu Nianshen would sleep on the couch with his pillow yet again tonight?

Annoyed, Gu Nianshen emptied the gla.s.s of wine he had poured a while ago before placing the gla.s.s down and standing up.

He then stormed into the room.

As Gu Nianshen was tall and well-built, his presence was immediately detected by Lin Yiqian who looked up in surprise.

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Yiqian realized that she was in the center of the bed and was taking up Gu Nianshen's s.p.a.ce. She hurriedly rolled over to the other side of the bed.

To Gu Nianshen, this seemed like she was actively avoiding him yet again.

“Lin Yiqian, weren't you and Gu Nianjia sworn-enemies?” He asked coldly.

What did he mean by that?

Lin Yiqian turned her head around to look at Gu Nianshen confusedly. She did not understand why he was suddenly asking her such a question.

Gu Nianshen did not say a word as he tossed his phone onto the bed in Lin Yiqian's direction for her to see the screenshot of the conversation between him and Gu Nianjia.

Soon after, he lifted the duvet and climbed into bed.

As Lin Yiqian picked up Gu Nianshen's phone and glanced at the content of the screenshot, she began to frown as her facial expression gradually darkened.

Gu Nianjia had claimed that Lin Yiqian wished to reconcile with her brother, but was too shy to take the first step.

How could this girl tell a lie like that?
