Chapter 14

Gu Chi had not expected his newlywed wife to greet him when he returned home either.

As for Su Kexin, she was even more shocked than he was.

Her brain was completely blank now, and when she finally returned to her senses, she immediately screamed and hurriedly ran toward the bathroom.

However, she forgot that she had dripped water all across the floor, so when she ran, she immediately slipped and lost her balance, falling forward.

“Watch out!”

Only then did Gu Chi’s expression change slightly. He hastily wheeled his chair forward to catch Su Kexin, and her entire body crashed onto his legs.

Gu Chi suddenly froze a little.

When he looked down, he saw Su Kexin’s little face, red from her panic.

Su Kexin was not a beauty who would immediately take your breath away at first glance, but she had pretty delicate features when you really looked at her. She was the type who looks prettier the more you looked at her.

That was especially true right now, with her clean face and wet hair pushed behind her ear.

The color of Gu Chi’s eyes turned even darker.

Su Kexin finally managed to regain her balance, and when she looked up in a panic, she met the man’s dark gaze.

Crap.

“S-Sorry…” She hurriedly stood up.

Right now

As things were right now, she did not have the time to really think about anything, and she did not dare to look at Gu Chi again either. Instead, she scrambled back into the bathroom.

After she closed the bathroom door, Su Kexin’s heart still pounded like crazy.

That was so dangerous just now.

Su Kexin was still scared thinking about it, but then she paused at the same time.

The two of them were a legally married couple now, so if something did happen, that should also be natural. Was it wrong for her to run away in a panic like that?

No matter what, she had only met Gu Chi three times before this. If something did happen like this, she did not think she would be able to accept it.

Su Kexin’s thoughts wandered despite herself, but when she realized what she was thinking, she was so shocked that she pinched herself instinctively.

‘What are you thinking, Su Kexin?! Why do you care? You only married him for an S City household registration spot, right?’

When she thought of that, Su Kexin’s gaze suddenly dimmed despite herself.

When she remembered what happened back then, perhaps she would prefer it if Gu Chi was as her male colleagues said.

However…

There was one more thing that left Su Kexin confused.

When she fell on Gu Chi earlier, Su Kexin had accidentally touched his legs.

Su Kexin always thought that for disabled people like Gu Chi, their legs remained unused for a long time, so their muscles should have atrophied and turned weak. However, Gu Chi’s legs were completely unlike a disabled person’s.

Could it be that he was only injured recently?

Knock knock.

Su Kexin’s mind was wandering all over the place, but suddenly there was a knock on the door that interrupted her thoughts.

Su Kexin was taken by surprise and raised her head. “What is it?”

“Open the door.” Gu Chi’s deep and melodious voice spoke from outside the door.

Just then, Su Kexin felt as though her heart would jump out of her throat.

Open the door?

Why was Gu Chi asking her to open the door?

When she remembered Gu Chi’s dark gaze earlier, Su Kexin’s hands involuntarily gripped the sink tighter. The dark memories from that night two years ago suddenly surged over her like a tide.
