Chapter 107: Temporary Couple
Gu Xiqing woke up drowsily from her sleep, looked at the weather outside the window, and felt a little dazed for a moment.
Is this morning or afternoon?
The pain in her body made her groan unintentionally. She struggled to get up, but her legs went weak and she fell directly to her knees on the bed.
"Lin Qingxuan, this pervert..."
After lying on the bed and cursing for a long time, Gu Xiqing climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She took a set of gray-blue pajamas from the cloakroom and put them on. She casually clipped her hair behind her head with a shark clip and walked downstairs slowly.
I'm so hungry... I feel like I'm going to starve to death if I don't eat something...
"woke up?"
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Lin Qingxuan wearing an apron and holding soup in her hand.
He just stood at the kitchen door and looked at her sideways. The sunlight outside the dining window shone on him like a soft filter. No matter how he looked at it... it seemed out of place.
Gu Xiqing shifted her gaze and looked towards the dining table.
There were already several dishes placed on top.
Two servings of salmon and mushroom rice, one serving of Thai curry shrimp, one serving of fried chicken with dried lemon, and the three-fresh soup he was holding.
"You..." He opened his mouth and realized that his voice was hoarse.
Lin Qingxuan placed the three-fresh soup in the middle of the dining table, picked up a small bowl, filled it with soup and placed it in front of her.
"Take a sip first to whet your appetite."
Gu Xiqing looked at these chef-level dishes, and then looked at him, who didn't look like he could cook at all.
Even though I knew he was a good cook, I didn't expect he could cook so much.
"My mother used to be worried about the food prepared by others and would never eat it, so I had to learn to cook."
Seeing through Gu Xiqing's doubts, Lin Qingxuan sat opposite her and talked about the past that no one knew about.
"..." Gu Xiqing knew a little about Lin Qingxuan's mother. When she was in a good mood, she was a gentle, elegant lady. She was very satisfied with her as a daughter-in-law and would give her anything good as soon as possible.
But there are always a few days every month when I become mentally unstable, have emotional breakdowns, and become unrecognizable to everyone.
I don't know what she went through to become like that.
"I only knew what you liked to eat before, but I didn't know that what you liked was what Auntie liked."
Lin Qingxuan frowned slightly when he heard her change of address. "You didn't call her auntie before."
Gu Xiqing was stunned for a moment and explained to him, "I was your wife before, it's normal for me to call you auntie or mommy."
Now... she couldn't shout.
I always feel that my previous self was like a headless fly. I loved very much, but I didn’t know what I was loving and had no idea at all.
Did she really love him?
If I ask myself honestly, I don't have any of those heart-pounding feelings between men and women towards him now.
Looking back, I can’t remember what I felt when I was heartbroken.
"You are my wife now." Lin Qingxuan lowered his eyes, hiding the gloom in his eyes.
I spent several hours preparing a table full of dishes, but when I put them in my mouth, they tasted bland.
"We are just temporarily...husband and wife." The word husband and wife is difficult to say at this moment.
Can they still be considered a couple if they don’t love each other?
"For a while?" Lin Qingxuan raised his eyes and stared at her with a burning gaze. The coldness in his eyes was permeating. "Gu Xiqing, can you explain what "for a while" means?"
Doesn't she want to be with him?
Gu Xiqing met his eyes and smiled awkwardly, "We were going to get divorced anyway, you know that."
It was he who gave her the divorce agreement. She didn't get a penny of the Lin family's money, although she didn't want it either.
"What do you mean by it would have happened? Gu Xiqing, I will not divorce you."
