Chapter 61: You Overestimate Your Self-Worth (1)

Gu Yu was still seated on the couch, looking at his computer. His long fingers were typing away at the keyboard, making a crisp, clicking sound.

Xu Weilai didn’t dare interrupt him. She stood to the side hesitantly, wondering whether or not to go to bed. She was frightened of offending Gu Yu. Eventually, she made her way quietly to the huge bed. She flung the covers open and climbed in.

She turned around to have her back facing Gu Yu.

It had been barely five minutes since she had lain down when Gu Yu seemed to already be done with his work. He closed his laptop and got up, heading towards the bed. Xu Weilai felt the covers being lifted off, and the mattress beside her sank. The man had gotten into bed.

The bed was enormous. Even with Gu Yu in it, there was still a vast expanse of s.p.a.ce between the two of them. Even so, Xu Weilai couldn’t resist inching a little more to the side. Her whole body balanced on the edge of the bed.

Gu Yu switched the light off, and the bedroom became dark.

Xu Weilai clenched the blanket in her hands and trembled as she waited for Gu Yu to begin his torment of her. But as she waited in antic.i.p.ation for a long while, there was no movement from Gu Yu. It seemed as though he had come back to the apartment simply to sleep.

She didn’t dare turn her head to look at him. But, as another five minutes went by, Gu Yu remained quiet and still, and her heartbeat slowly settled.

However… in the time since they had become married, although Gu Yu had engaged in other intimacies with her many times, he had never shared a bed with her. Each time he’d finished with her, he’d leave without sparing her a second glance.

So why was it that today, not only had he not abused her, but he was also sharing a bed with her?

Xu Weilai couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried. There was no point in her trying to guess what Gu Yu was thinking. Plus, she had cried for such a long time that day, that she was already feeling exhausted. When the room quieted down, her eyelids slowly closed. She didn’t have the strength to fight it, and as her vision went dark, she drifted off to sleep.
