You get married, I hijack the marriage

Chapter 5 I have been alone all these years
This was the first time in three years that she looked directly at him, but she looked away only for a moment.

Her eyes were as clear and black as before, but when she looked at him they were no longer filled with love, but only with calmness and indifference.

His heart suddenly felt empty and his eyes dimmed.

"You Ran, my parents went to Auckland to pick up my grandfather. There's no one at home. You can stay here for the next few days." Shen Shuna acted like an elder sister, taking care of her in every way. "I can still take care of you at Gu's house. You've been suffering outside all these years."

Knowing that she and Gu Jinchen had a past, he still let her live in Gu's house. If Shen Shuna hadn't always loved and cared for her, Shen Youran would have suspected that she was deliberately embarrassing him.

Although Shen Shuna has a good reputation in the wealthy circle, with outstanding looks, gentleness and generosity, isn't it a bit too generous to let her husband's ex-girlfriend live in her home?
Even though she is her sister, shouldn't women be cautious and stingy in order to protect the happiness of their marriage?

The corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile: "I have been alone in California all these years."

She was able to survive in that strange place full of foreigners and had learned to live independently.

Besides, the Shen family is still her home, and there are servants in the house.

Shen Shuna looked at her thin face distressedly: "You Ran, we sisters haven't seen each other for three years, don't you want to reminisce with me?"

"There's plenty of time to reminisce about the past." She and Gu Jinchen were in an awkward relationship now, so there was really no need for them to live under the same roof. "Sister, arrange for a driver to take me back to the Shen family."

Gu Jinchen put down the sobering tea in his hand, took his coat and prepared to go upstairs. He took two steps and stopped: "It's getting late. If you want to leave, just wait until tomorrow."

Shen Youran looked at the clock in the living room. It was not even half past ten, so it was not too late. However, when she met Shen Shuna's expectant eyes, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Sorry to bother you then."

Gu Jinchen, who had just stepped onto the stairs, froze slightly. The polite and light tone was like a sharp weapon, piercing his heart unexpectedly, causing him to feel pain and suffocation. …

Shen Youran had just returned to China and was suffering from jet lag. She tossed and turned the entire night and couldn't fall asleep. She took a light nap when it was almost dawn.

She decided to go back to Shen's house today. After waking up, she packed last night's clothes back into the suitcase, packed everything and went downstairs.

In the living room, Gu Jinchen was sitting at the dining table, wearing casual home clothes and reading a newspaper. In front of him was a glass of milk and an uneaten sandwich.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at the newspaper in his hand seriously. When he heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he turned around to look at her and called out "Aunt Li".

Aunt Li saw Shen Youran coming down from upstairs and put her breakfast on the dining table.

Shen Youran walked to the dining table, sat down opposite him, and greeted him lightly: "Morning."

Gu Jinchen was slightly startled and responded, "Morning."

She felt strange. It was almost eight o'clock, why was he still sitting here leisurely reading the newspaper? Wasn't he going to work?
The breakfast was the same as Gu Jinchen's, a sandwich, a glass of milk, and a piece of toast.

She only ate two bites of the sandwich and drank the milk when she was full. She took a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Breakfast is very important, and you eat too little." Gu Jinchen closed the newspaper in his hand. Her appetite was surprisingly small.
