After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 165: Marital Obligations
“I have found his email address on the school’s official website and have already sent an email to him.”

Foreigners often communicate via email, so responses are usually not too late, but you will need to wait for a while.

"Okay, go to work."

Gu Xijue spoke, his voice deep and resonant.

……

When I got home for dinner that evening, the table remained silent as always.

Lin's mother understood that the couple argued twice every three days, as if they had a timer set.

When they had almost finished eating, Gu Xijue glanced at Song Jin'an several times out of the corner of his eye. He was thinking that there was no resemblance between Yu Yousheng's father's photo and her appearance. So, what if Yu Yousheng and Song Jin'an were related by blood?

Then they insisted that they were half-sisters.

If that's the case, or if Yu Yousheng knew from the beginning, then what was her purpose in applying for the position of Gu Hetang's tutor?
Song Jin'an could feel the man in front of her staring at her. Was there something on her face?
Just as their eyes met when they looked up, Gu Xijue suddenly stood up and said, "You can continue driving if you want."

Song Jin'an: "..."

Why did we suddenly bring up driving again?

"The car that was hit hasn't been repaired yet. Until it's repaired, pick another one in the garage to drive."

He then walked directly to a cabinet and slammed several keys inside onto the table.

"You're not allowed to drive that car you bought. Its performance is too poor, and your driving skills are bad. If you rear-end another car and crash, you won't be so lucky again."

Song Jin'an was genuinely stunned, wondering if the man in front of her knew what she was saying or doing.

Indeed, the more expensive a car is, the better its safety performance and the lower the probability of injury.

She was afraid that if she disagreed with him again, he might actually go to the garage and smash her car, so she nodded, which was considered as her agreement.

After agreeing, the two fell silent again.

When it was time for bed, Gu Hetang was a little unhappy. She wanted to hear Gu Xijue tell her a bedtime story instead of listening to it on her phone.

The little one kept calling "Daddy, Daddy" in the nursery, and telling stories.

Just as Song Jin'an was about to pretend to spank her, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Gu Xijue looked at the mother and daughter on the bed, only noticing the smile in Gu Hetang's eyes. He climbed to the bedside, picked up a book, and said, "Daddy, tell me a story... a story."

He walked a little further in, picked up a storybook, and suddenly said, "Move over a bit."

These words were meant for Song Jin'an, to tell her to move over a bit, as it was a bit cramped to have two adults and one child crammed into one children's bed.

Just as Song Jin'an was about to get out of bed to make room for the father and daughter, Gu Hetang grabbed her sleeve: "Mom, don't go, don't go."

She wanted both of them to sleep with her and tell her stories.

Helpless, Song Jin'an could only lean against the wall, with Gu Hetang in the middle and Gu Xijue on the side.

He held the storybook and began to tell the story with great emotion. This was the first time Song Jin'an had ever heard Gu Xijue tell a story.

It was very different from when I spoke to her normally, or when I spoke to her sharply.

The voice is magnetic and pleasant to listen to, and different vocal tones were specially used to match different characters.

Song Jin'an gently patted Gu Hetang's chest, and slowly, the child fell asleep.

Gu Xijue's voice also stopped abruptly, and both of their gazes were on Gu Hetang. Gu Xijue's heart gradually softened.

This is his daughter. Her looks combine the best features of both him and Song Jin'an. You could tell she was a beauty from a young age.

Just then, Song Jin'an tiptoed out of bed, but her wrist was grabbed: "Where are you going?"

Song Jin'an glared at him, puzzled, and gestured with her hands.

—Go back to the bedroom to sleep.

She had already finished washing up and was ready to go to bed. Gu Xijue had also finished washing up and was ready to go to bed as well.

"Sleep here tonight."

Song Jin'an: "..."

Although this bed can fit a family of three, it's still a bit cramped.

Gu Xijue let go of her hand, closed his eyes, and fell asleep there.

Looking at his sleeping face, Song Jin'an couldn't deny that he was very handsome. As long as he didn't speak or glare at her, he was indeed quite pleasing to the eye.

She kept her lips pursed as she looked at him, thinking to herself, "This man is incredibly handsome, but his temper is truly awful!"
She pouted, not wanting to lie in the same bed with him, and simply continued to crawl off the bed, but after only a few movements, her wrist was grabbed again.

Gu Xijue opened his eyes and stared at her: "You really just ignored what I said?"

What has always angered him the most is that the woman in front of him ignores what he says!
Song Jin'an frowned and gestured.

—Don't you think it's too crowded?
—If you want to share a bed with your daughter, I'll make room for you.

Gu Xijue frowned: "Is it that crowded?"

"I don't think it's because it's crowded, but because you don't want to sleep in the same bed as me."

Song Jin'an's lips curled into a smile.

—Just so you know.

After saying this, Gu Xijue's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, causing Gu Hetang, who was still asleep, to tremble.

Why are you speaking so loudly? You're scaring the child.

Song Jin'an frowned, then reached out and gently patted Gu Hetang to comfort him, preventing him from waking up from his sleep.

Gu Xijue sneered: "I knew it."

He then sat up, threw back the covers, and stood in the doorway: "Come with me."

Song Jin'an watched him leave, then readily lay down again, as if to say, "Since you're gone, I'll sleep with my daughter now."

She really did it on purpose, deliberately trying to provoke him.

This is what Gu Xijue could tell from her smug expression.

Gu Xijue stared at her for a long time, then chuckled and dragged her off the bed.

Song Jin'an was a little frightened, but she was afraid of waking the child. She was dragged off the bed in a disheveled state, then picked up horizontally and thrown directly onto the big bed in the master bedroom.

The man looked down at her.

Song Jin'an shrank back a bit and gestured with his hands.

—What are you going to do?
"You are required to fulfill your marital obligations."

Upon hearing this, Song Jin'an was immediately speechless.

—I don't want to tonight.

She felt a tightness in her chest; they were clearly still arguing, and the matter wasn't resolved yet, and they were already going to go to bed together again?
Song Jin'an didn't want this to happen, so she shrank under the bed, but she was blocked by a body.

"It's not up to you."

Gu Xijue uttered these four words.

Their eyes remained fixed on each other.

The man's eyes were as deep as ever, as if he could see right through her, and he looked down at her with disdain: "Song Jin'an, how long has it been since we had marital relations?"

She was slightly taken aback. Was he speaking out in protest?
I've almost forgotten when the last time was.

Gu Xijue continued, "I married a wife, not a nun."
