school.

Mu Mian had just finished class and was walking from the classroom toward the office.

Her cell phone rang.

It was a message from Gu Xiangque, the first time he had contacted her since they got their marriage certificate. Mu Mian opened his message without hesitation. "Grandpa said we should go back to the old house for dinner tonight."

"Where do you live? I'll come pick you up."

"it is good."

Mu Mian sent the school's location to Gu Xiangque's phone.

She didn't post her home's location, nor did she want Gu Xiangque to know she lived in a basement. It wasn't that Mu Mian cared about her image; she just didn't want to gain a man's sympathy by living in a basement.

School in the afternoon.

"Mianmian."

Teacher Mo Yu called out to Mu Mian.

They were classmates in college and stayed on at the university together after graduation. They are very close friends.

"Let's go shopping together tonight!"

Mo Yu naturally took Mu Mian's hand.

"I can't go tonight, I have to go to the Gu family to have dinner with Grandpa."

Mu Mian had told Mo Yu about her whirlwind marriage, and only to her; the two of them had always been very close and could talk about anything.

"Well, it seems you'll just have to go through the motions. We'll have to reschedule for another day."

But your husband is like a two-dimensional character; I don't think he cares about you at all. Sometimes you shouldn't take things too seriously; just give him the runaround.

Mu Mian wasn't being serious; she was just doing what she felt was right.

Gu Xiangque lent her 300,000 yuan to help the Mu family solve a big problem, so Mu Mian owed him anyway. Besides, they were a married couple who had registered their marriage, and she was just accompanying him back to the old house for dinner.

Mu Mian thought it was reasonable.

The two of them unknowingly arrived at the school gate.

Gu Xiangque's car was already parked at the door. He didn't drive a luxury car, but an ordinary car worth a few hundred thousand yuan. In front of Mu Mian, he presented himself as an ordinary working-class person.

He believed that Mu Mian married him for the sake of Gu Jia's money.

He even made a bet with the old man: if he could prove that Mu Mian's motives were impure, he would immediately divorce Mu Mian, and the old man would never be allowed to interfere in his private life again.

But if he loses, he will willingly apologize to Mu Mian and make their marital relationship public, allowing Mu Mian to become the real Mrs. Gu.

"Mo Yu, he's here."

Mo Yu then noticed the car parked at the school gate. "Is that your husband's car? It's a very ordinary car. I thought he was rich. He doesn't care about you at all."

Mianmian, I advise you to leave him as soon as possible. This kind of man is obviously unreliable.

Mu Mian smiled and said, "I'll be going now."

She picked up her bag and walked to the car.

Gu Xiangque remained seated in the car. He didn't get out to open the car door for Mu Mian, nor would Mu Mian expect him to be so gentlemanly towards her. The marriage itself was problematic, so she got into the car herself.

"Parking is not allowed here, so hurry up and fasten your seatbelt."

Gu Xiangque was reminding Mu Mian.

"Oh."

Mu Mian quickly fastened her seatbelt, and Gu Xiangque drove off.

The Gu family's old house is located in the suburbs.

need some time.

Mu Mian took a nap in the car, and when she woke up, the car was parked right outside the old house.

Just as she was about to open the car door, Gu Xiangque opened it from the outside. Mu Mian casually said thank you, but then she suddenly remembered the first thing Gu Xiangque had said to her when she got into the car at the school gate: "Parking is not allowed here. Fasten your seatbelt quickly."

It turns out it wasn't that he was being ungentlemanly, but rather that the school didn't allow parking.

If he gets off and get back on the bus, he will be fined for wasting time.

Mu Mian suddenly smiled.

Surprisingly, this cold and aloof man is quite good at managing his household.

The two walked together into the old house.

The house is a small courtyard house.

The location was relatively remote, so it didn't cost much to build. Old Master Gu had lived here his whole life and was used to it. Even after the Gu family became wealthy and owned countless mansions, he still preferred to live here.

There is a vegetable patch and a garden in the yard.

It's obvious at a glance that the homeowner knows how to enjoy life.

"Grandpa Gu".

When Mu Mian saw Grandpa Gu picking vegetables in the garden with a basket, she immediately ran over to him, running like a child, saying, "Let me help you."

Mu Mian is very capable.

He rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

She was deeply loved by Old Master Gu. He glanced at Gu Xiangque deliberately and said, "My dear granddaughter-in-law is the best. She knows how to take care of people." Unlike some people, who act like big shots even though they are clearly grandchildren.

Gu Xiangque: "..."

He was subtly insulted by his own grandfather.

Normally, he would help his grandfather with some chores, but now that Mu Mian was around, he went to lie down on the recliner, working on his phone while secretly observing Mu Mian to see how long she could keep up the act.

Mu Mian and Grandpa Gu chatted and laughed, and after picking the vegetables, they went to the kitchen together.

Tonight's dishes are home-style stir-fries cooked by Mu Mian.

taste good.

Her stir-fried cucumbers, in particular, were crisp but not greasy, with a refreshing taste, which Grandpa Gu liked very much.

After meal.

Mu Mian took the initiative to clean up the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, even wiping the living room floor as well.

They work efficiently and never complain of being tired.

Grandpa Gu went to the sofa and sat down with Gu Xiangque. "See how capable Mianmian is? It's your good fortune to have such a good wife. Don't take your good fortune for granted."

Blessing?

Is being able to work a blessing?

Gu Xiangque parted his thin lips slightly and said in a cool tone, "The cleaning ladies can do all the jobs she does."

"you……"

Old Master Gu is really going to be furious.

This grandson.

wait.

When he finally realizes how good Mianmian is and is going through the "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" phase, I hope he'll still be as stubborn as he is now.

"Mianmian, stop working. You've finished all the work, what else is there for Grandpa to do? Come and rest." Grandpa Gu called out.

Mu Mian didn't feel tired.

She often does housework at home.

Besides, she still owed Gu Xiangque 300,000 yuan. She planned to talk to him later to see if she could pay back the money later. She hoped to have more time, but it didn't mean she wanted to default on the debt.

Around nine o'clock, Mu Mian got into Gu Xiangque's car, and the two went back to the city together.

In the car, Mu Mian mentioned repaying the money later, as she was waiting for Gu Xiangque's response.

Gu Xiangque was too cold.

When his face is expressionless, no one can read his mind. "Whatever."

He never expected Mu Mian to repay the money.

Her suggestion to pay back the money later is the same as those who owe money and make excuses. It doesn't matter to him whether he wants 300,000 or not. He just needs to prove that Mu Mian got married to him for Gu Jia's money, and then they can get a divorce.

"Thank you."

Mu Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

But to show her sincerity, she hastily wrote an IOU for Gu Xiangque.

She would try her best to pay off the 300,000 yuan within a year. If she missed the deadline, she would pay an extra 200,000 yuan in interest, but the total duration would definitely not exceed three years. Mu Mian sincerely pasted the IOU on Gu Xiangque's steering wheel.

Gu Xiangque: "..."

Is she serious?
