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

Chapter 28 Stealing Your Partner
Thinking about this, he felt even more agitated.

This restlessness is mostly due to desire.

Looking into his burning eyes, Song Jin'an knew what was wrong with him again, so she pushed him off the bed again and gestured with her hands.

—Don't touch me, get out, go back to your own room!

Gu Xijue watched her coy and refusing act with cold eyes, finding it even more exciting.

But just as his fingers slipped inside, the image of her lying in a pool of blood suddenly exploded in his mind...

He instantly snapped out of it, jumped off her, and went straight to the bathroom with the light on.

Gu Xijue had just remembered what the doctor had told him: Song Jin'an's pregnancy was very unstable, and before giving birth, she needed to abstain from anything that would cause her distress, and especially from sexual intercourse with her husband.

Song Jin'an couldn't fall asleep at all, listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom.

She was in a really bad mood right now, and as she looked towards the bathroom, her heart ached even more.

When Gu Xijue came out of the bathroom, he was completely sober. He saw Song Jin'an lying on her side on the bed, frowned, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and went straight out of the second bedroom.

The door slammed shut again, the sound unusually jarring in the dead of night.

The next day, Song Jin'an stayed in the villa all day without stepping out, and didn't even want to go for a walk outside after dinner.

Lin's mother saw this and felt quite helpless. She also knew that her husband had forbidden his wife from going to school anymore, and she felt quite sad. She could clearly feel that during the time her wife was in school, she had seen the happiest wife she had seen in years.

But...Alas...

Lin's mother sighed. The two of them had entered another period of cold war, where they didn't like each other at all. What kind of couple in the world gets along like this?

After thinking for a moment, Lin's mother still comforted her, "Madam, even for the sake of the baby in your belly, you should try to be in a good mood. Only when the mother is in a good mood can the baby absorb nutrients more healthily in the womb."

Knowing that persuading the couple from the perspective of their relationship wouldn't work, I tried to persuade them from the child's point of view.

Song Jin'an's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen. She looked up at her mother and gestured with her hands.

—I know, but I can't do it.

After being forced to drop out of school, she felt only a sense of powerlessness in this world.

Lin's mother thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Madam? You're probably feeling bored at home. I'm going to the supermarket to buy groceries. Why don't you come with me?"

Song Jin'an originally didn't want to move, but then she thought that since she had nothing else to do, she went with Aunt Lin.

In the supermarket, Lin's mother pushed a shopping cart, carefully selecting fresh vegetables, while Song Jin'an wandered aimlessly.

In less than half an hour, Lin's mother bought the groceries according to today's menu. When she was almost at the door, Song Jin'an saw a group of people standing at the door not far away.

Several workers in blue overalls were unloading goods from a truck, and standing at the very back was a tall man in a tracksuit who was speaking loudly.

"Be careful, piano unloaders! Don't bump or knock it over. This piano is worth over twenty million yuan. It would hurt me to see it damaged!"

Upon hearing this, the workers carrying the piano were so frightened that they almost crawled forward, afraid of bumping or knocking it over.

"If I hadn't lost at cards last night, I wouldn't have spent 20 million to buy a piano and send it here!"

Lin's mother rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she had gone to the wrong place. Looking at the group of men, she ran a few steps forward, carrying the groceries. "What are you doing?"

At this moment, the man who had just been complaining about losing at cards turned to look at Lin Ma and spoke with some suspicion.

"Wasn't it said that Young Master Gu's wife was mute? When did she learn to speak?"

He looked Lin Ma up and down, then said something completely unreliable: "At this age, she looks old enough to be his mother. Gu Xijue, you have such strange tastes?"

Lin's mother stared blankly at the handsome but mentally challenged man in front of her.

Just then, Song Jin'an, heavily pregnant, walked up to Lin Ma's side, and the young man's eyes lit up.

Looking Song Jin'an up and down with her pregnant belly, he stretched out his hand, waved, and greeted her with a grin: "You must be my little sister-in-law, right?"

After saying that, he ran over to Song Jin'an with a smile, acting very familiar: "Little sister-in-law, open the door quickly, I need to move my things in."

Song Jin'an had absolutely no recollection of the man who suddenly appeared and called her sister-in-law.

Having been married to Gu Xijue for so many years, she had never seen the man in front of her before. Looking at his face, she was slightly stunned, then frowned and clenched her fists.

She and Gu Xijue never had a wedding ceremony; they only got their marriage certificate. It's perfectly normal that she hasn't met his brothers or friends.

After opening the door, the man directed the workers to move the valuable piano into the empty children's room in the villa.

While the workers were busy unpacking the boxes, he turned to Song Jin'an with a smile and said, "I forgot to mention, my name is Duan Nanhe. I'm your husband's childhood friend. You can call me Nanhe, just like your husband does."

He watched as Song Jin'an took out her phone and typed something on it, then shoved it right in front of his face a few minutes later.

Hello, my name is Song Jin'an.

Song Jin'an simply greeted them and then walked away, leaving the children's room with extreme indifference.

Duan Nan scratched his head, feeling that this person seemed a bit aloof, comparable to Gu Xijue's icy face. No wonder they were a couple.

After the workers had finished setting up the piano and left, he plopped down on the piano bench, painfully stroking the piano that had cost him twenty million dollars.

He called Gu Xijue: "I've delivered the piano to your house and put it in the children's room."

Gu Xijue hummed in agreement and was about to hang up when he heard Duan Nanhe's somewhat teasing voice again: "Hey Gu Shao, you've got such a beautiful wife hidden at home, but you don't even bring her out for us brothers to see."

Duan Nanhe kept rambling on: "If I hadn't brought the piano and seen your wife, I wouldn't have known you were living such a good life behind my back. With your wife's good looks and yours, the child you have will definitely be incredibly good-looking!"

Every word he uttered was a sincere compliment. He truly felt that Song Jin'an's looks were astounding, only that she couldn't speak and was a little mute.

After hearing what he had said, Gu Xijue pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "If I had known you would talk so much nonsense, I shouldn't have let you deliver the piano."

Duan Nanhe chuckled and joked, "What, are you afraid I'll steal your girlfriend?"

Gu Xijue knew he had a sharp tongue and that was his usual way of saying, "If you keep talking like that, you might lose another car to me."

Immediately, Duan Nanhe muted his microphone, but still grunted twice: "Don't even think about swindling me out of another car. I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
