Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Gungun thinks that Wuyou is in a lack of some feelings, which are related to love. To be honest, Wuyou doesn’t know what it feels like to be flipped, fall in love, and love someone affectionately. Sometimes, he intends to stop thinking about this issue and let it go. Anyway, whether Wuyou loves him or not, she belongs to him and will marry him in the end.

However, as Gungun grows elder and elder, he thinks he can’t let Wuyou go on being like this. He is quite sure as to when he fell in love with Wuyou. It was during the Christmas Holiday when he was 11 years old. They all went to Rui Country for skiing. At midnight, Gungun and Wuyou sneaked out for amusement and fell down a mountain. It was all blankly white around them. Nothing was within their sights.

“Wuyou... Wuyou, we are going to die, right?” At that time, Gungun was frightened. They hugged each other and leaned against a big tree.

Wuyou replied firmly, “No. Father will bring others here and find us soon.”

After that... After that, nobody but heavy snow came.

Gungun said in fear, “We are going to be covered by the snow. Never will Father go to find us.” Wuyou stood up and stared at the sky instead, “It won’t be. I surely will take you out of here!”

At that time, as the moonlight shone against Wuyou’s face, she looked pretty beautiful amid the heavy and white snow. In an instant, Gungun felt that his heart raced a beat violently. He covered his thumping chest and was about to say something.

A head popped up from the side, “Little children, why are you playing outside amid such heavy snow?” It turned out it was a security guard of the hotel. In fact, they had not fallen down a mountain. Instead, they had fallen into a garden behind the hotel. A lot of plants had withered in the winter days, leaving several large bumps. After the bumps were covered by the snow, they looked like a small-sized cliff...

Wuyou and Gungun were awkward.

They climbed up hurriedly. After they went back to their rooms, they found out that nobody had ever noticed their absence a moment ago.

“Wuyou...” When Gungun went back to fall asleep, he pulled Wuyou’s hands, “We have to get together all over our lives!”

Wuyou replied with certainty, “Of course. Never will I leave you for the rest of my life.”

The young boy was ascertained as to who he loved in the evening when it had snowed heavily. However, he soon finds out that Wuyou is not the same as him. In Wuyou’s eyes, Gungun represents Lang Ruoxian’s Iron Fist Policy in her childhood, a destiny’s implication, a kind of responsibility and obligation.

The way people in Tang Family sees it, Gungun has never experienced the pubescent crisis. In his childhood, he was innocent, handsome, and fair. When he grows up into a handsome young boy, looking naive. However, nobody knows that after Lang Xuanyuan finds out that Wuyou does not take him as a lover, he transforms himself into a rebellious youth.

It’s just that he is good at disguising himself that nobody finds out about his eccentricity.

As soon as he went through an operation last time, he got his memories back. However, as the pubescent crisis hits him, he thinks that it will be a chance for him. He needs to teach Wuyou as to what is love and let her fall in love with him.

He doesn’t want to see the situation happen that only after they get married will Wuyou find out what love is. At that time, it will be more horrible than if Wuyou finds out she doesn’t love Gungun at all. In that case, what should they do? Originally, Gungun didn’t have any detailed plans. It happens that Zeng Xue shows up.

“I get your point. You mean you will pretend to chase after me. Then should I say yes or not?” Zeng Xue thinks of this deal as a worthy one. According to Lang Xuanyuan, in that case, her family won’t force her to get connections through marriage. Moreover, he will stand out as her pursuer and make her family members agree to let her apply for getting enrolled in the Film Academy. At last, he will let her sign a contract with the entertainment enterprises under the charge of Lang Consortium.

Gungun replies, “At least, don’t say yes to me currently. As for others, you don’t need to worry about them. All you need to do is to cooperate with me.”

After that, he thinks that Zeng Xue will be curious about his purpose to do so. However, the girl doesn’t have any questions from the beginning to the end. Gungun consequently thinks of her as a quite good cooperation partner. Of course, it is too late for him to find a new partner after finding out Zeng Xue is a foolish fangirl.

In Gungun’s opinion, everything goes on quite smoothly. As long as Wuyou starts to feel that something went wrong and feel jealousy, his goal will be half done. As he is happy with his plan, something happens in front of the dining table this evening.

Lang Ruoxian asks all of a sudden, “Gungun, are you going after a girl in your class recently?”

Everybody around the dining table is silent instantly. The twins, who are originally fighting for the pork ribs, hang their chopsticks in the air and leave their mouths open. It seems that they have been taken aback.

“Going after a female classmate?” Tang Duo puts down her bowl immediately, “What happened? Who are you going after?”

Although Gungun knows his parents will be informed sooner or later, he doesn’t expect that it will take place so quickly.

“Dad... How did you know?”

Lang Ruoxian pats Tang Duo on her back, “Someone named General Manager Zeng came to our company today, who told the receptionist that he was my relative by marriage.”

Gungun asks tentatively, “...Then, then, you didn’t see him, right...”

“What do you think?” Lang Ruoxian squints at him, “Of course, I had to see who my relative by marriage was. It turned out he wanted to cooperate with the Lang Consortium.”

Tang Duo breathes more heavily, “Did you say yes? Who on earth is he?”

She pounds the table, “Lang Xuanyuan, explain it clearly!”

“She... She is a girl who is just transferred to my class and a straight A student. Not only is she beautiful but also she is of good body shape. All in all, I fell in love with her at first sight.” Gungun braces up his courage as he says, “Then... then you can’t just stop me from having a relationship, right? I will go to college soon.”

“How about Sister Wuyou?” Sweet Orange is excited, “How are you going to deal with her?”

Sweet Orange has known that Sister Wuyou is not the same as the sisters in other families ever since her childhood and that Sister Wuyou will marry her brother and be their sister-in-law in the future. Moreover, Sister Wuyou is so amazing! She is capable as well as gentle.

“Of course, Wuyou will still be your sister!” Gungun chuckles, “According to Mother, she will be a child of the Tang Family forever. Moreover, Father will pass on his company to her in the future.”

Tang Duo stares at him coldly, “I didn’t expect that I would bring up a cruel and unscrupulous love rat.”

Gungun, who is speechless, jerks up the corner of his lips, “Mother, I am your son.”

“I don’t have a son like you, who is a bastard.” Tang Duo bursts out expletives, “Aren’t you clear that the reason why you forget Wuyou now is that you have lost your memories? What should you do if you get your memories back one day? It will be unfair to the other girl.”

Since the situation has developed to such an extent, Gungun has no choice but to stick it to the end, “Mother, you also mentioned that I lost my memories and treated Wuyou as my relative. Zeng Xue is the only one that I fell in love with at first sight. I can’t control how my heart feels.”

Tang Duo turns her head as she asks, “Is the girl named Zeng Xue?”

Lang Ruoxian nods, “I already investigated her. Unexpectedly, she is not the same as you expected.”

Tang Duo, who thinks of all the members of Zeng Xue’s family as villains riding their coattails, glares at Gungun more disappointedly, thinking that her son’s eyesight is so poor.

“If not so, who else can they be?” She says furiously, “Everything is not set yet. Why did he run to our company? What did he intend to do? To sell his daughter out?”

“He did want to...” Lang Ruoxian consoles her in a hurry, “However, based on my investigation on his daughter, it is the other way around...”

Gungun says hurriedly, “Yeah. Mother, you shouldn’t be so biased. Zeng Xue is not the same as her father.”

“It doesn’t matter at all whether she is different or not.” Tang Duo stands up right away, “Let me tell you, never will I allow you to hang out with a girl from the kind of family like this. Give her up. Otherwise, I will pack you up and send you abroad right away!”

After Tang Duo finishes her words, she walks to the entrance furiously, “I am going to visit Mother.”

“Brother, you are such an idiot!” Sweet Orange runs over and kicks at Gungun. After that, she turns her head and runs away.

Gungun snorts and fails to catch her. As soon as he sees the look in Lang Ruoxian’s eyes, he is a coward again.

“Father...”

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t bother with him. He stands up and goes out, leaving An’an alone to stare at Gungun blankly. After that, Gungun sees An’an pick up a piece of pork rib and put it into his mouth.

Gungun asks him, “...Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

An’an takes in a mouthful of rice and replies, “I don’t have any comments. Anyway, when you get your memories back, Sister Wuyou won’t accept you anymore.”

Gungun is speechless.

It doesn’t occur to Gungun that Tang Duo would react so violently that there isn’t any meal left for him every day when he leaves school and goes home in the evening.

“Mother... It’s OK that you asked the housemaid not to leave some food for me. At worst, you shouldn’t lock the refrigerator.” If he cooks a bowl of noodles by himself, he will be somewhat full.

Tang Duo ignores him directly.

“Mother, do you intend to starve me to death?”

Tang Duo doesn’t bother with him.

In the end, Gungun has no choice but to apply for a temporary dormitory right next to that of Shirla. Then until the day at the end of the month when he receives the pocket money for next month, he thinks that he must have been dazzled upon seeing the received amount.

“Father.” Gungun, who dares not turn to Tang Duo, calls Lang Ruoxian, “Why the pocket money I received is of 1,000 dollars only now?”

Lang Ruoxian says, “According to your mother, you should count on yourself while going after a girl. 1,000 dollars is sufficient for you to buy food in the school canteen for one month.”

“Do you know how expensive the food in Caesar Academy is?” Gungun reminds him, “A set of steak will cost 80 dollars.”

“You can have the buns.” Lang Ruoxian, who seems to be having a meeting now, pauses for a few seconds before he adds, “1,000 dollars is sufficient for you to buy buns and vegan food for one month.”

“Father, you can’t... Father? Father?”

Lang Ruoxian hangs up his call.

Consequently, as Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming see Childe Lang hold a bowl of hollowware vegetables, a steamed roll, and a bowl of free seaweed soup and walk over to them, their eyes almost bulge.

Zhao Shen stammers, “Are... are you on a diet?”

Gungun stares at him with a gloomy look in his eyes, “Stay away from me. Don’t sit together with me.”

“Bang!” Shirla puts her dining plate down, where there are fiery red little crayfishes, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Okra with Chopped Garlic, a bowl of fragrant rice, yogurt, and Braised Pigeon Soup.

“...You eat so much food.” Gungun says with a jealous look on his face, “Aren’t you afraid that you will get fat?”

“Based on my physique, I won’t get fat at all even if I take in much food.” Shirla says with a smile and uncovers the Braised Pigeon Soup, “Ah. It smells so fragrant.”

Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming leave to buy food absent-mindedly. As Gungun sees Shirla peel the crayfishes with a smile on her face, he couldn’t help but ask, “It seems that you are quite happy today, right?”

“Of course I am!” Shirla puts a crayfish into her mouth and chews it as she makes a sound, “Someone can only get monthly pocket money at 1,000 dollars now. He can only have buns, hollowware vegetables, and free soup every day from now on.”

“...How did you know?”

Of course, it was Tang Duo who had informed Shirla

Tang Duo called Shirla, asking her to watch Gungun at school and stop others from lending money to Gungun. If Gungun dates Zeng Xue, Shirla should inform her as soon as possible.

Gungun underestimates how his mother loves Wuyou. At this moment, her son doesn’t matter to her anymore.

“What?” Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming, who come back after buying the food, are all taken aback.

“Well... why can you only get 1,000 dollars of monthly pocket money now?” Yuan Yiming asks in a hurry, “Childe Lang, what did you do?”

Zhao Shen lets his imagination wander freely as he says, “Could it be that Tang Family members find out that they took you by mistake when you were a baby? It should be somebody else rather than you who should be their son!”

Gungun can’t help but feel impulsive to drag this idiot out...
