Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Laura doesn’t know much about the world of the straight A students at ordinary times, but she understands this sentence.

“You mean that a man told you if he had a girlfriend later, he would ask her to call you sister, right?”

Wuyou nods.

“Then, after hearing this, you felt uncomfortable. It hurt so much that you couldn’t breathe.”

“It didn’t affect my breathing.” Wuyou shakes her head again, “It just affected my thinking.”

Laura rolls her eyes, “One meaning, very simple! You don’t like that man’s girlfriend, or you don’t want him to have a girlfriend, because you like him and you are jealous!”

After saying that, she suddenly looks frightened, “No, Wuyou. You have a boyfriend!”

And you have such a handsome boyfriend!

Wuyou already can’t hear what she is saying. Her mind is full of jealousy, like and so on. Then her mind was spinning like a top and she is confused and disoriented.

“Wuyou! Wuyou!” Laura pushes her, “Do you really like another man? What about your boyfriend?”

It is unreasonable for such a handsome guy to be abandoned...

“No.” Wuyou comes back to earth.

“What’s wrong with you?” Laura finds that she is a little panicked, “Don’t scare me, Wuyou. Are you really sick? Let’s go to the hospital!”

Wuyou closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, “I’m fine. I just couldn’t figure something out, but now I can figure it out.”

“Is it... About changing your boyfriend?” Laura whispers.

Wuyou is stunned, “Why should I change my boyfriend?”

“Didn’t you say...?”

“No.” Wuyou shakes her head firmly, “The person I talked about is my friend.”

Isn’t it the typical pretext that my friend is myself? Laura thinks. But she doesn’t dare to ask when she sees Wuyou’s expressionless face.

After seeing Laura off, Wuyou soaks herself in the bathtub. The bathroom is steaming with the mist, which makes her more and more confused. She probably knows her own mind that she doesn’t like Gungun to have another girlfriend.

However, she always feels whatever role Gungun needs her to play, she will play. When they were children, she was his sister. When they grew older, she was his child bride. Then she is his girlfriend, and then she will be his real wife in the future.

Wuyou never thought that there would be a change, but Gungun now has amnesia, and he doesn’t remember her. Her role is going to change, and she may only be his elder sister in the future. This cognition makes Wuyou very unhappy, and this unhappiness is the reason why she has been feeling that something is wrong these days.

“Like... Jealousy...” Wuyou buries her head in the water, and spits out a bunch of bubbles with a gurgling sound.

Is this the feeling of liking? So... She likes Gungun? Like...

Chengshuang likes Langxing?

Wuyou is not a person struggling with choices. After she has determined, she wants to confirm it further. She knows that like and love are different. She doesn’t know if she loves Gungun, just like a female wolf loves her partner.

“Wuyou, will you come back at Christmas?” Soon it is the twelfth month of the lunar year. Gungun asks her in the video phone call this day.

Christmas is just one week away, but it is a pity that this year is different from last year.

“I will go back.” Wuyou is eager to see Gungun, so that she can know how she feels about him.

But unexpectedly Gungun says, “But Zeng Xue and I made an appointment to go to Harbour City to play.”

“You go, and I’ll go home to see Mom.” Wuyou’s heart sinks, “She... Did she accept your pursuit?”

“No, but her idol will have activities in Harbour City on Christmas Day, and she will follow. I was anxious to let the girl stay alone, so I just wanted to stay with her, and she didn’t refuse.”

Gungun sees Wuyou stare at him blankly. These days his girl often show such an expression. Gungun is very distressed, but he is resolute to turn a blind eye to it.

He must let Wuyou really learn what love is, especially now when the situation is very good. Gungun believes when he goes there to go to the university next summer, it won’t take long for Wuyou to completely understand it.

“Then I will bring you a gift. I will go there for three days. When I come back, will you still be at home?”

Wuyou nods, “Yes, I will stay at home for a week.”

When Tang Duo knows that Gungun will leave Wuyou to play with Zeng Xue on Christmas Day, she is so angry that she almost beats him to death. If she wasn’t stopped by Bai Susu, she probably should have beaten him to be half disabled.

Tang Cao, who has moved out to live and watched his baby daughter every day, comes back this day rarely. When he sees the whole family having the meal in the dining room and only Gungun pitifully holding a bowl of rice in the sitting room, he gloatingly gives him a drumstick.

“Well, I am good to you, right?” Tang Cao puts the drumstick into Gungun’s bowl, “Hurriedly eat it. If your mother finds that, you cannot eat it.”

Gungun makes a bite, “I can’t stay in this house any more...”

“You deserve it!” Tang Cao glances at him, “Who let you go after another girl? If I were Wuyou, I would let you abandon all the property to leave and sleep on the street.”

Gungun eats and rolls his eyes. After drinking a gulp of water, he says, “I’ve said that now we are just friends. I did not go after her any more. Or could I mention to study abroad?”

“And are you going to Harbour City with her?”

“That is...”

He has to play the part well! Zeng Xue’s father keeps an eye on them covetously...

“Have a good meal, youth!” Tang Cao pats him.

Then when he comes back from Harbour City and is eager to see Wuyou, he is told by Bai Susu that Tang Duo took Wuyou and the twins to the Island Country to play.

Gungun is speechless.

Will he expose some secret if he catches up at this moment? But God refuses to give him a chance.

“Your mother told you to stay at home and look after the cats.”

All right...

Originally he thought that at least they could see each other when they came back. But he goes to the airport to meet them and only picks up Tang Duo and the twins.

“Wu... How about Wuyou?”

“She was back to Mi Country.” Tang Duo gets into the car, “She flew directly from the Island Country.”

His heart hurts, but he has to pretend that everything is OK.

Then Gungun just looks forward to the New Year. Although there is no holiday abroad, but Wuyou will definitely come back to accompany the elderly to celebrate the festival. But when he comes home on the day of the holiday, there is nobody but just a note.

“We go to Mi Country to celebrate the New Year with Wuyou. You don’t need to look for us. We will go to other places to play. Remember to take good care of the cats. Go to your uncle’s house for dinner on New Year’s Eve. Don’t run about.

Beautiful mother leaves the note.

Gungun is speechless.

“You know how terrible your mother is.” Tang Cao takes his abandoned nephew out to play today, “If you offend your father, you will at most be punished once. If you offend your mother... Then you’ll be punished several times a minute.”

“I didn’t expect that my grandparents and my dad all went there...” Gungun slumps on the sofa, “My mom is so cruel!” ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

“Do you think it to be false that nothing is so poisonous as the heart of a woman?” Tang Cao pours him a glass of beer, “Come on! I am still here. Come to have dinner in my house during the Spring Festival, or you can move over these days, and also bring Sweet Orange’s cats.”

Gungun doesn’t go, because he knows that he will have to move a lot of things to take the cats out for a few days. Sweet Orange will make the video phone call with him to check. Also thanks to her, he can also take the opportunity to say a few words with Wuyou in the evening.

Except him, the whole family are now basking in the sunshine in the island of the South Pacific.

On New Year’s Eve, he goes to Tang Cao’s house to eat dumplings. He refuses his uncle’s affectionate retention to go back to the villa to stay with the two cats. But on the way Zeng Xue calls to say that she runs away from home...

“Are you sick?” Gungun finds her in a square. He scolds her as soon as they meet, “Today is New Year’s eve. You f**king run away from home?”

Zeng Xue drags a suitcase with red eyes, “Should I choose time to run away from home?”

“No, then why did you do that?” Gungun irritably scratches his head, “Forget it. It’s too cold. Let’s go to the hotel first.”

There’s a five-star hotel right next door, so they just go to check in. After entering the room, Zeng Xue shows as if nothing has happened and takes crisps from the fridge to eat.

“First, you tell me why you run away from home? Didn’t I just make a video phone call with you to show your dad yesterday?”

Zeng Xue’s father let Zeng Xue bring Gungun home for dinner. Zeng Xue said that his family had gone abroad for the New Year. It happened that Lang Ruoxian and others really went abroad, so Zeng Xue’s father did not suspect.

To make him less suspicious, Gungun even specially found a bath center that looked like seaside to show her dad in the video phone call yesterday.

“It’s none of your business.” Zeng Xue takes a gulp of coke, “My father, the son of a b***h had a son with another woman outside. The child’s mother was dead and the child who is four or five years old was sent over. My mother got angry and went back to her parents’ home. I went to argue with my dad but he said that I was a girl who was going to marry out. If he had a son, the son could inherit the family property.”

Gungun is silent.

“Say whatever you want to say.” Zeng Xue makes a belch.

“I’d like to say that this sort of thing is not unexpected in rich and powerful families... The owner of this hotel where you are staying, has three illegitimate children outside.” Gungun shrugs, “Very few people are like my family.”

Zeng Xue glances at him, “I know that he has a woman out there. So does my mother. We just didn’t expect him to really have a son. OK! If he wanted to raise the illegitimate child, he just did it by himself. But he said that he’d let my mother raise the child. Sh*t!”

“That’s your father’s fault.” Gungun touches his chin, “Or let me talk to him?”

“You just stop it!” Zeng Xue waves her hand, “I’m fine. Maybe I’ll go back to my grandma’s house tomorrow. I don’t go there today because there will be in a mess.”

Gungun sees her state is OK and then stands up, “OK, you go to bed early. I shall go first. If you need me, just call me.”

“Thank you.” Zeng Xue then adds, “I’ll be fine. I’ll watch my idol’s countdown party in a moment!”

Gungun squints.

He comes out of the elevator and looks at his watch. It’s almost eleven o’clock. If he doesn’t go back, he will be outside at zero. When he goes out of the hotel to take a taxi, he finds that his mobile phone is gone. He thinks that he might have just left it in Zeng Xue’s room, so he has to run into the elevator to go back to get it.

Zeng Xue is preparing to take a bath here. When she just gets into the bathtub, she hears the sound of a video phone call invitation outside. She runs out, wrapped in a bath towel and sees “Queen Mother” displayed on the screen. She gets through without thinking.

“Mom, I’m fine. You... Who are you?”

“Who are you?” There is a little girl in the video, very beautiful, with big eyes looking at her in horror.

Then a young girl appears.
