Marrying a wealthy family for the second time, being spoiled by a paranoid childhood sweetheart

Ever since Jiang Ru came back, he felt strange and had been indifferent and distant to him. Was it really his own illusion? However, seeing Jiang Ru's indifferent look, Gu Chen realized that there was something more to it than what he was thinking.

Gu Chen was certain that Jiang Ru must have found some clues from Zhao Yan. Could it be that his father was really related to the case? If so, he didn't know how to face Jiang Ru then.

In the end, he did not choose to force Jiang Ru. He was worried that Jiang Ru would hate him in the future, so he planned to investigate it first.

He gave up asking further questions, and his voice became gentler: "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to get married now, I will wait for you. No matter when you want to hold the wedding, I will accompany you. I will make you the happiest bride."

Immediately after Gu Chen's gentle words fell, he wanted to speak, gradually approaching Jiang Ru to kiss her, but unexpectedly Jiang Ru dodged. Jiang Ru suddenly pushed him away with an expressionless face. He said in a cold voice: "I'm going to sleep, you should go back to sleep early too."

The two of them had always slept in the same room before, but this time Jiang Ru asked Gu Chen to sleep back in her own apartment, which made her discover the problem even more.

Gu Chen found that Jiang Ru was becoming increasingly indifferent to him. Did Jiang Ru want to start a cold war with him? Thinking of this, he felt very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, just have a good rest. You should also take good care of the baby in your belly." Gu Chen gave Jiang Ru a way out. He used the baby in his belly as an excuse to temporarily sleep in separate rooms. He knew Jiang Ru didn't know how to face it, but he didn't expose her.

After Gu Chen left, Jiang Ru felt extremely complicated. She couldn't help crying silently, and her pillow was wet when she slept on the bed.

Jiang Ru's pillow was wet, and even her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Why is Gu Chen so good to herself? Every time Gu Chen treats herself better, Jiang Ru doesn't know how to choose.

Jiang Ru doesn't want to hurt Gu Chen, but when the truth comes out, both of them will be hurt...

So Jiang Ru didn't dare to face it and has been avoiding it today. Jiang Ru couldn't sleep all night. These few nights are destined to be sleepless nights. As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think about was the scene of her father being imprisoned.

By the next day, Jiang Ru was feeling so miserable that she decided to bury herself in work.

Jiang Ru continued to work hard for a few days. Gu Chen wanted to call Jiang Ru to meet her. The phone kept ringing for a long time. Jiang Ru finally answered it. He asked nervously: "Are you off work? I'll pick you up for dinner."

He wanted to find an excuse to meet Jiang Ru, but was rejected by Jiang Ru again.

Jiang Ru spoke indifferently, citing work as an excuse for not wanting to meet Gu Chen, and her voice became a little colder: "I'm still working overtime at the company, so I don't have time to eat with you. You can eat by yourself."

"But I haven't seen you for several days..." Gu Chen's voice sounded particularly aggrieved. He sounded like a little resentful woman who couldn't see her wife.

"I'm busy these days and may not go back."

Jiang Ru solved the problem perfunctorily and didn't want to explain too much. It seemed that she didn't want to see Gu Chen yet?

"So when can we meet?"

Gu Chen couldn't wait to meet Jiang Ru, but Jiang Ru didn't know how to face him and could only choose to escape.

"I'll go back naturally when I get home on the weekend." Jiang Ru made up an excuse. Even if Gu Chen didn't believe her, Jiang Ru didn't want to go back and chose to immerse herself in her career. Only in this way could she numb herself.

Gu Chen hung up the phone with a look of disappointment, but he still chose to respect Jiang Ru's career and gently reminded her: "I won't oppose your career, but you can't work too hard on yourself. You must take care of your health, understand?"

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ru no longer thought about other things and focused more on her work.

Jiang Ru was busy until very late and did not go home. Usually when Jiang Ru went home, Gu Chen had already fallen asleep. So the two of them never saw each other again since that day, and it seemed like they were in an invisible cold war.

Even though Jiang Ru didn't know, Gu Chen never fell asleep every time Jiang Ru came back. He knew that Jiang Ru didn't want to face him now, so he pretended to be asleep. Only in this way could Jiang Ru feel more at ease.

He would not force Jiang Ru to do anything she was unwilling to do. He would wait until the day Jiang Ru was willing to face it, and he would let the truth come to light.

So neither of them slept well in the next few days, because they were both worried about something and each of them had heavy dark circles under their eyes.

Although they slept in the same bed, they had different dreams and could not guess what was in each other's mind.

Even so, Jiang Ru still goes her own way and is unwilling to pay attention to Gu Chen. Even if Gu Chen takes the initiative to talk to Jiang Ru about something, Jiang Ru will use work as an excuse to perfunctorily deal with it.

From Monday to Friday, Jiang Ru ignored Gu Chen for several days, which made Gu Chen feel very uncomfortable. He couldn't understand why Jiang Ru ignored him like this. Why was Jiang Ru unwilling to communicate with him about anything?

The cold war between the two continued until the weekend, when they agreed to go back home together.

"Why have you ignored me these past few days? I went to pick you up, but you refused."

The two of them stood at the door of Gu's house and talked. Jiang Ru hadn't seen her for a few days, and she looked particularly haggard, which made Gu Chen feel even more distressed. He had told Jiang Ru many times not to work too hard, but Jiang Ru just refused to listen to his advice, and even Gu Chen was helpless.

Gu Chen could only be very confused by Jiang Ru's disregard for him. Jiang Ru coldly found an excuse to deal with him, and was even unwilling to explain:

"I've just been busy these past few days."

"What did you talk about when you met Zhao Yan that day?"

At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly asked about what happened that day, wanting to know the answer from Jiang Ru, but unfortunately Jiang Ru had no intention of communicating with Gu Chen at all.

"Nothing much, just some work stuff."

Jiang Ru refused to say a word, because she always felt that Gu Chen would definitely help her father, so there was no need to communicate with him about this matter. She would keep it to herself and not let him know. When the time comes, she will go to Gu Chen's father to ask for clarification. Jiang Ru still concealed the truth from her, which made Gu Chen very disappointed.

Gu Chen looked particularly hurt:

"Is there anything you don't want to communicate with me now?"

Just when Gu Chen wanted to question, Jiang Ru didn't want to continue the topic. She changed the subject and said coldly:

"We've been standing at the door long enough. Let's go in first and don't make your uncle and aunt wait anxiously."
