Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 143 - His Ex-Girlfriend

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 His Ex-Girlfriend

Gu Cheng replied, “You can come over. There’s a housekeeper, and Fangfang is here too.”

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Who’s Fangfang?”

Gu Cheng, “My dog.”

Zhou Yuan, “What a coincidence, my name is Yuanyuan, and its name is Fangfang.”

Then Gu Cheng stopped replying to messages again. After bringing the dog home, he had to go to the company to deal with some matters.

Zhou Yuan, having gotten the approval, was so happy that she immediately bounced out of bed and had her driver take her straight to Gu Cheng’s villa.

The place where Gu Cheng lived wasn’t too far from her home, about a 20-minute car ride.

There was a chubby housekeeper around 50 years old in the house, a very warm person, who insisted everyone call her Fatty Aunt no matter who visited.

Upon seeing Zhou Yuan, Fatty Aunt said, “Young Madam, Mr. Gu has gone to the company. He said that once you arrived, you could just settle in.”

Zhou Yuan wasn’t used to being called Young Madam, and she felt uncomfortable all over at the address, “Fatty Aunt, you can just call me Yuanyuan.”

“Is that okay?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?”

Zhou Yuan then said, “I’d like to go see the wedding room.”

“It’s upstairs. It’s almost fully decorated, just waiting for you,” Fatty Aunt said with a smile.

Upstairs was a very large room, the master bedroom of the villa, which was to be their wedding room.

The wedding room now had a red bedspread, and there were wedding photos of her and Gu Cheng hung above the bed.

They had taken their wedding photos in a rush because Gu Cheng didn’t have the time. They only changed clothes and took a few indoor shots at the photo studio, not even taking any outdoor pictures.

Even though her mother had nagged her many times, saying Gu Cheng didn’t value her, Zhou Yuan didn’t mind.

She thought other people’s wedding photos might look nice, but they were too tiring to take, having to follow the photographer’s cues and poses, just like a tool. Where would Gu Cheng find the time for that?

He was the CEO of a corporation, after all.

Looking at the wedding photo on the wall, she smiled like someone enjoying ice cream on a hot summer day. Gu Cheng, on the other hand, seemed to have been herded there, but Zhou Yuan consoled herself: Gu Cheng is just such a cool person. It’s impossible for him to smile like an idiot!

Aside from the wedding photo, there was nothing to fault with the wedding room. It was big enough, spacious, with brand new wardrobes, and especially the dragon and phoenix bedspread. Zhou Yuan imagined what it would be like to roll around on that big bed with Gu Cheng, how comfortable that would be.

She remembered that night in the car, his strong, well-proportioned physique…

Zhou Yuan dared not think further.

She went downstairs.

Gu Cheng’s home was very simple, with just one housekeeper and a butler. She often heard that he had eight bodyguards, but Zhou Yuan had never seen them.

As she reached the door, a dog excitedly pounced toward her.

The Husky jumped into Zhou Yuan’s arms, like a little child.

It seemed to accidentally bump into Zhou Yuan’s chest.

Fatty Aunt came over and scolded it, “Fangfang, don’t be rude!”

This dog was smart; when Gu Cheng wasn’t home, Fatty Aunt was in charge, and she wouldn’t indulge it. If it got naughty, it would get a spanking.

It lay obediently in front of Zhou Yuan and then lifted one eye to glance at her.

Zhou Yuan was amused by its antics.

She went to pet its fur, and it became quiet, happily letting Zhou Yuan stroke it.

Once Fatty Aunt left, Zhou Yuan, finding herself bored, began to hum a song to Fangfang, like lulling a baby to sleep, and the dog actually fell asleep listening.

Fatty Aunt came back and, hearing Zhou Yuan’s song, couldn’t help but say, “Yuanyuan, your singing is very good, even better than those stars on the Spring Festival Gala.”

“Right? A lot of people say so.” Zhou Yuan was anything but humble.

She loved singing and had an account on a music app. All her videos showed her singing while playing the guitar, though she never showed her face. In two years, she had accumulated several million followers.

Some record company people had invited her to sign up and debut as a singer, but Zhou Yuan refused.

She wasn’t short of money, and her parents also didn’t want her to be in the public eye, so she kept singing as a hobby.

When it was getting dark, Zhou Yuan quickly got up and asked Fatty Aunt, “Fatty Aunt, Brother Cheng will be home for dinner tonight, right?”

“Yes.”

“Is dinner ready?”

“It’s being prepared.”

“What does Brother Cheng like to eat? Does he have any particular tastes?”

“He prefers light dishes. Mr. Gu doesn’t like anything with a lot of oil or too spicy.”

Zhou Yuan quickly said, “Then I’ll help cook.”

Fatty Aunt hurriedly said, “How can we trouble you with that? I can do those things.”

“I’ll just watch. If you’re not home some day, I can learn to make the dishes he likes,” Zhou Yuan said.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan wasn’t putting on any airs and was also very pleasant, Fatty Aunt agreed to let her into the kitchen.

Zhou Yuan washed her hands and, seeing the ingredients Fatty Aunt had prepared, became a bundle of curiosity.

“Fatty Aunt, why do you put sugar in when stir-frying?”

“Adding sugar creates a caramel color,” Fatty Aunt explained.

“Why do you have to blanch the lettuce separately? Can’t you just toss in the oyster sauce and the minced garlic and stir-fry everything together?”

“That wouldn’t be fragrant. Adding oyster sauce and garlic in the end makes the greens taste much better.”

“…”

Zhou Yuan wished she had a notebook to jot down these tips.

Zhou Yuan then asked, “Fatty Aunt, how long have you been working for Brother Cheng?”

Fatty Aunt thought carefully, “It must be more than a decade now. I started housekeeping for the Gu Family when I was in my thirties, and later, when Mr. Gu noticed that I was capable and cooked well, he transferred me over when they moved.”

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Then, do you know about Brother Cheng’s past? Did he ever bring women home before?”

Fatty Aunt couldn’t help but chuckle, “We’ve received training not to discuss our employers’ privacy, but I can tell you, you are the first woman Mr. Gu has ever brought home.”

“Really?” Zhou Yuan found it hard to believe.

“Of course, it’s true.”

“But I heard he had a girlfriend before.”

As soon as Fatty Aunt heard this, her expression changed, “Let’s not dig up the past, and you shouldn’t bring it up in front of Mr. Gu either. It would make him angry.”

Zhou Yuan was scared off, and dared not ask any further.

When Gu Cheng got off work and returned home, the Husky didn’t come running to him as usual.

Only after entering the house did he see the Husky lying beside the sofa sleeping, lazily opening one eye to glance at him without even lifting its head.

Gu Cheng knew then that someone must have pampered it nicely, and it was lazily savoring the moment.

“Brother Cheng, you’re back?”

Zhou Yuan poked her head out of the kitchen to greet him.

Gu Cheng paused for a moment.

He then remembered he had promised Zhou Yuan a visit to their future home.

Over the years, he had always been greeted by either the Husky or Fatty Aunt at home, but now there was an addition of a girl with a round face, which he found somewhat unfamiliar.

“Brother Cheng, dinner is ready. You can eat once you’ve washed your hands.”

Gu Cheng walked into the dining room and saw four dishes and a soup all prepped.

Fatty Aunt came over with a laugh, “Yuanyuan was helping out with the cooking just now; she’s really a capable girl.”

Zhou Yuan didn’t expect Fatty Aunt to speak up for her, and quickly said, “Actually, I didn’t help much.”

All she did was peel a few garlic cloves.

Gu Cheng sat down, and Zhou Yuan went to get him some soup, then scooped a bowl of white rice for him.

Fatty Aunt left tactfully.

Gu Cheng looked at Zhou Yuan.

Thinking that he would have to come home to eat with her every day from now on made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Yet, he had already made a promise, and he was going to have to slowly get used to it.

Zhou Yuan began to peel shrimps, not eating any herself, and after peeling a small dish, she handed it to Gu Cheng, “Brother Cheng, have some shrimp. Fatty Aunt mentioned you prefer light meals, so we made boiled shrimp!”

Gu Cheng picked up a chopstick-full and then smiled at her, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhou Yuan smiled delightedly.

As long as he was willing to eat, it made her happy.

Out of happiness, she couldn’t help but end up eating two bowls of rice.

Gu Cheng had never seen a girl who could eat as much as she did. When he dined out, the women he saw hardly touched rice and only lightly nibbled on their dishes.

Zhou Yuan had a truly good appetite.

Because she ate so heartily, as though the dishes in front of her were rare delicacies, he found himself enjoying his meal as well.

He finished three bowls of rice.

After finishing her meal, Zhou Yuan touched her round belly, “This is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had.”

Gu Cheng would normally hit the gym after dinner, but tonight, having eaten too much, he felt too full to move and had no choice but to sit on the sofa.

It became clear to him why many men gained weight after marriage; eating alone and eating with another person were completely different experiences.

After dinner, Zhou Yuan busied herself in the kitchen preparing fruit for him.

Gu Cheng, worried that she might cut too much and it would go to waste, went to the kitchen to remind her.

But as he approached the kitchen door, he saw her humming a song while cutting fruit.

“Sweeeet as honey, your laughter so sweet, like flowers blossoming in the spring breeze, blossoming in the spring breeze…”

Gu Cheng froze in place.

It was as if he had returned to the past, to that girl who loved to sing.

In a trance, he walked over and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Zhou Yuan was caught off guard by Gu Cheng’s embrace from behind. Her heart trembled as she thought of all those sweet scenes from idol dramas where the male lead hugs the female lead from behind.

Could it be that Brother Cheng loves me so deeply?
