Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Declaring His Sovereignty

Back then, Qi Anran was easily seduced by Han Ningzhen, and this Gu Wei… couldn’t be the same, right?

She was worried the doctor next to her would see her dejected appearance, so she said, “I’m going to get some fruit.”

The night’s celebration featured a buffet that was fully stocked.

When she reached the cantaloupe section and had just picked up a slice, someone approached her.

“Ah Xi…”

Su Meixi looked up to see a disheartened Qi Anran.

She didn’t want to engage with him, so she picked up the cantaloupe and was about to leave, but Qi Anran blocked her, “Ah Xi, don’t I owe you an apology?”

How rare.

When he was with Han Ningzhen, he chased her for the 2,000 yuan car repair fee and even wanted to get physical when she didn’t pay. Why didn’t he offer an apology then?

“What do you want?” Su Meixi asked.

Qi Anran’s gaze was as gentle and cautious as when they used to date.

“Ah Xi, I hope we can still be friends.”

“Sorry, I don’t want to be friends with you. Once we break up, it’s over for good,” Su Meixi said.

“I had no idea Han Ningzhen was such a person. Seeing her performance tonight, I guess she wants to seduce your boyfriend. Honestly, it’s hard for men to resist her temptation. Ah Xi, you should be mentally prepared.”

Su Meixi’s heart felt like it had been hammered by a stone.

On the other side, Gu Wei glanced at the place where Su Meixi had been sitting but didn’t see her.

Hundreds of hospital staff members were present that night, and he was looking for her among them.

Han Ningzhen approached him at that moment, her words laced with sarcasm, “Looking for Dr. Su? She probably doesn’t have time for you. She’s being all lovey-dovey with her ex-boyfriend right now, see for yourself!”

Han Ningzhen gestured at the fruit area.

Gu Wei then saw Su Meixi speaking with Qi Anran.

Su Meixi had her back to him, but from Qi Anran’s expression, it was evident he was eager to rekindle their relationship.

Han Ningzhen continued, “You don’t know yet? Dr. Qi and I broke up because he said he still has feelings for Dr. Su, so I set him free.”

At that moment, Gu Wei’s chest ached.

He was about to go over, but then he hesitated, what was he supposed to do?

Of course, to assert his claim.

But how should he assert it so that it was both reasonable and didn’t make him seem domineering?

Five seconds later, an idea formed in his mind.

He walked toward Su Meixi with a plate of food.

Su Meixi, who had just been heartbroken, stood there dazed.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wei’s tall figure appeared in front of her, standing between her and Qi Anran.

“Ah Xi,” Gu Wei said tenderly.

Su Meixi looked at Gu Wei, and then at Han Ningzhen, who had also followed.

Anger surged in her heart, and she wanted to leave.

However, Gu Wei suddenly offered a piece of roasted meat to her mouth with his fork, “Ah Xi, have some food. Didn’t you say you wanted some barbecue?”

Su Meixi: “…”

What kind of move was this?

But the barbecue was what she had wanted to eat, so she planned to take the fork and eat herself.

Gu Wei looked into her eyes, “Don’t get your hands dirty, I’ll feed you.”

“This…” Su Meixi glanced around.

Because of Han Ningzhen and Qi Anran, their group had become the center of attention, and everyone was watching.

It was clear to everyone that Han Ningzhen wanted to hook up with Gu Wei.

It was also clear to everyone that Qi Anran wanted to win back Su Meixi.

The key point was her and Gu Wei.

Now that Gu Wei wanted to feed her, he was probably trying to assert his claim. @@novelbin@@

So, she opened her mouth and ate the piece of roasted meat.

Gu Wei waited for her to finish the barbecue, then fed her a piece of roast pork. “There’s this too, it’s pretty good, you should try it.”

Su Meixi ate it, then picked up a slice of Hami melon and held it to his mouth. “You should have some fruit too.”

Gu Wei bit into it at once.

Thus, they fed each other, back and forth.

Behind them, Han Ningzhen turned away in a huff, seething with annoyance.

Hmph, what’s so great about Su Meixi? She couldn’t believe it; sooner or later, she’d make Gu Wei kneel under her skirt.

Qi Anran also walked away, feeling despondent.

…

Tuesday morning came in the blink of an eye.

Su Meixi still remembered that Gu Wei said he would take her to see his grandfather that day.

The grandfather was the most important elder in a family; his willingness to take her to see his grandfather meant that Gu Wei wanted her to be part of his family.

She dressed up specially for the occasion. Although she normally didn’t wear makeup, today she applied foundation, lipstick, and blush, and after washing her hair, tied it into a braid.

When she came out to the living room, Gu Wei was already waiting for her.

Upon seeing her, he gazed at her intently.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Do I… look bad?”

Gu Wei continued to stare. “You look beautiful, like you turned on a beauty filter!”

Su Meixi couldn’t help but giggle. “You really know how to compliment.”

Gu Wei then said, “We might have to stay overnight at Grandpa’s place tonight, have you packed a change of clothes?”

“It’s all in my bag,” Su Meixi said, carrying a white backpack with her today.

She continued to inquire, “Shouldn’t we buy some fruit to bring with us? Do you know what kind of fruit Grandpa likes to eat? Or should we bring some tobacco or alcohol as a gift?”

Gu Wei replied, “I’ve already prepared everything. Grandpa is dear to me; he loves me the most and will be happy just to see me.”

Hearing his words, Su Meixi felt reassured.

…

They left the house shortly after.

Only once in the car did Su Meixi find out that he had already come down in the morning. In the car, besides his backpack, there was a box of cherries and a bag of snacks.

Gu Wei handed her the bag of snacks. “It’s a long journey, and if you get hungry, have some of these snacks.”

She opened the bag to see biscuits, sunflower seeds, nuts, and potato chips inside.

She didn’t really like snacks and said, “I’ll hold on to them; I’ll eat them if I get bored.”

Gu Wei nodded.

Once on the road, Su Meixi realized the significance of the bag of snacks.

Today he was driving, and she sat in the passenger seat.

The two of them were usually short on words and seldom made small talk. Now, sitting in the car, if they did nothing, it would become awkward.

Moreover, it was a 50-kilometer drive to his grandfather’s house, which would take at least an hour.

She couldn’t help but open a packet of potato chips and begin eating.

As long as her mouth was moving, there was no need to talk.

It wasn’t too bad driving in the city at first—there were plenty of cars, and they occasionally had to wait for traffic lights, keeping their eyes busy.

But once they left the city, the scenery became greener, with more flyovers and less to see. Su Meixi suddenly felt a bit guilty for eating by herself.

She asked Gu Wei, “Do you want some?”

While driving, Gu Wei responded, “I can’t eat while I’m driving.”

“Then… what do you want to eat? Shall I feed you?”

Without hesitation, he said, “Nuts, please, and thank you.”

Su Meixi opened a pack of Daily Nuts.

Upon opening it, she realized it also contained raisins and other dried fruits. Feeding him one piece at a time seemed endless, so she simply poured half of the pack into the palm of her hand and then presented it near his mouth.

He glanced downward and began to eat like a puppy.

Su Meixi felt his lips, even his tongue, touch the palm of her hand. It was moist, warm, like an electric shock, sending sensations throughout her body.
