Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Just Be Happy

“Gu Wei, I won’t allow you to say such things.

We are husband and wife, and all other couples make vows when they get married, to be together for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. To share our difficulties and our joys. Although we didn’t have a wedding ceremony or make such vows, since we are already married, all consequences should be borne together.”

Gu Wei stared at her,

his hand gently stroking her face.

He hadn’t thought about these issues at first because everyone in the army called him the War God, the War Wolf. The worst injury he had ever sustained was to his hip. He had never considered the possibility of dying.

What would she do if he died?

Seeing that he still didn’t believe her, Su Meixi couldn’t help but say, “Gu Wei, we are both alive and well now, let’s not think about death right now. What we need to do is to seize the present, cherish these days. At least for now, you are alive and I am all right. Can’t we just be happy together as we are now?”

Gu Wei’s heart was struck.

That’s right, both of them were well now, so living day by day, happily, was enough. Even if he were no longer here one day, his love could be remembered by her for a lifetime. If she struggled in life one day, she could recall that there was someone who would die for her; whenever she thought of him, her heart would be filled with strength.

That was enough!

While the two were being intimate, Qiu Yurou led several people in.

Wan Manyu and a middle-aged couple.

They must be Wan Manyu’s parents, a British man and a woman from Hua Country.

They looked quite serious.

…

Three hours earlier, Wan Manyu’s parents had arrived at the hotel they were staying at.

Though they had been apart for some time, no one knows a child better than their mother. Wan Manyu’s mother knew at a glance that her daughter was upset.

Her daughter had never been like this; she was always cheerful, generous, and vibrant, like a little sun that illuminated wherever she was.

But now, the sun had disappeared, as if engulfed by gloomy clouds.

“Manman, what’s wrong with you? You look so tired,” Mrs. Wan asked.

Even Mr. Wan could tell, “Is Manman not feeling well?”

Wan Manyu naturally wouldn’t tell, so Qiu Yurou went to greet Manman’s parents.

Qiu Yurou apologetically said, “Nothing’s wrong with Manman, it’s all my fault. I haven’t taken good care of her recently.”

Mrs. Wan asked, “I called Manman last time, and she said she was calling you Godmother now? And that she started working at your corporation.”

“That’s right, that’s how it is.”

“You always talked about having Manman as your daughter-in-law, didn’t you?”

Qiu Yurou sighed, “But my son wasn’t so fortunate.”

After saying that, Qiu Yurou recounted what had happened recently.

Mr. Wan, being a foreigner, didn’t think much of it after hearing it.

“I think what Manman did was not wrong, it’s about helping others. You helped your Godmother’s son recover, and helping people is a joyful thing.”

But Mrs. Wan sensed the oddities in the story.

She ignored her husband and spoke to Wan Manyu, “You fell in love with him while taking care of him, didn’t you?”

Mr. Wan found it unbelievable.

Their daughter was quite proud; many boys did not catch her eye.

He was curious about the kind of man who could win his daughter’s affection.

Qiu Yurou looked regretful, “It’s just a pity that a girl from a common family beat her to it and stole my son’s heart. Now, Gu Wei has eyes only for her.”

Mr. Wan then said, “If that’s the case, the man is already someone else’s husband, and Manman doesn’t need to be sad about this. Liking someone is not wrong, learning to let go is also a skill.”

Mrs. Wan had already guessed most of it. She nudged her husband, “What do you know?”

Wan Manyu finally spoke up, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry about me.”

Still intrigued, Mr. Wan said, “Then we should go and see this man who has touched our daughter’s heart. I’m also curious about what he looks like.”

So, they stayed briefly at the hotel before coming over.

…

“Rou, is this your son?” Wan Manyu’s father looked at the Gu Wei in front of him and felt that he truly appeared imposing, just like the Hua Country soldiers he saw on YouTube.

Hua Country wasn’t making false propaganda.

He could somewhat understand why his daughter fell for this man.

His daughter had high standards; only the extraordinary men caught her attention.

Only a man who emanated righteousness, seriousness, and a strong presence at first sight could capture her heart.

Mr. Wan only felt it was a pity; the man already had a wife.

His wife appeared to be a very beautiful and gentle lady, fitting his aesthetic for Hua Country women.

Mrs. Wan had a different opinion upon seeing Su Meixi.

Indeed, as Qiu Yurou had said, she was a girl from a common family, with a touch of pettiness.

Usually, confident and poised children were expensive to raise, and while the woman in front of her was beautiful, she lacked the refinement brought by wealth; she was good enough for keeping at home, but not for high society.

Upon closer examination, it seemed her daughter and Gu Wei were a better match.

As soon as Qiu Yurou saw Su Meixi, she became irritated, “We have guests, and you don’t even offer a cup of tea or pour a glass of water? They are here to see Gu Wei.”

Su Meixi went to pour boiling water for them and invited them to sit down in the living room.

In this sanatorium, each room was suite with a living room, a couch, and disposable cups were provided.

A few days earlier, Gu Cheng had brought some English tea, which Su Meixi didn’t like to drink, and Zhou Yuan couldn’t drink. The tea came in tiny granules, like those in a cold remedy, and Su Meixi didn’t know how to prepare it.

Qiu Yurou criticized her again, “How can you not even know how to make tea?”

Seeing his mother’s attitude towards Su Meixi, Gu Wei couldn’t help but speak up, “Mom, Ah Xi has been by my side taking care of me every day and hasn’t had the time to learn how to brew English tea.”

Qiu Yurou became unhappy at once, “She has only cared for you for a few days and it’s as if she’s done some great toil. Before she came, wasn’t it me and Manman who never left your side to care for you? You were so sick then; you can only imagine the difficulty of that care. Even feeding and drinking had to be done slowly, spoon by spoon, to your mouth.

Have you forgotten that at the beginning you couldn’t even eat solid food and had to drink rice soup every day? Manman made it herself!”
