Chapter 353: Husband, You’re Here
As soon as Gu Nianshen stepped into the house, everyone could feel his strong presence.
Although Lin Haohan was rather good-looking, his looks paled in comparison to Gu Nianshen.
Almost instantly, the proud att.i.tude with which he had faced Lin Yiqian disappeared as his jaw dropped at the sight of Gu Nianshen. Clearly, he had not expected Gu Nianshen to show up.
Like the others, Lin Yiqian’s eyes were fixed upon the man who had just walked in.
At that moment, she desired to run into his arms and announce to everyone in the world that he belonged to her, that he was her husband.
The dreamy way in which Lin Yuqing looked at Gu Nianshen made Lin Yiqian want to do that even more.
Feeling motivated, Lin Yiqian finally mustered the courage to take the first step toward Gu Nianshen, something she had never done even after all these years.
Worried that she might suddenly cave in, Lin Yiqian held her breath as she approached the man and reached for his hand. “Husband, you’re here.”
Lin Yiqian had no idea what had prompted her to address him in that way.
She felt as if her heart no longer belonged to her as she could not stop it from beating so quickly.
When Gu Nianshen heard her calling him ‘husband’, he was stunned.
Only after a long while did he react by slowly lowering his gaze to the pet.i.te woman next to him. He still appeared dazed.
Meanwhile, Lin Yiqian had also lowered her head such that Gu Nianshen could not see her facial expression clearly. He could only see her long eyelashes and pointed nose, as well as her full cheeks.
Although Gu Nianshen did not know what she was thinking about, he did not want to know either. All he wanted was for her to repeat what she had just said.
No… He only wanted her to repeat how she had addressed him.
“Lin Yiqian, you…” Gu Nianshen began speaking with a stunned expression.
“Nianshen, you’ve arrived.” Lin Tianwan cut him off as he approached Gu Nianshen with a smile.
After being interrupted, Gu Nianshen no longer had the courage to speak his mind.
Despite feeling a little glad that he was interrupted, he was also somewhat annoyed.
As he s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from Lin Yiqian, he redirected his annoyance to Lin Tianwan and the others. “Who said that my wife is unimportant in the family?” Gu Nianshen asked with a frown as he glared.
Lin Yiqian’s oldest aunt, who had been saying harsh things to her just a while ago, immediately felt intimidated. Even Lin Tianxi was holding his breath, not daring to make any sound.
The room had become eerily quiet.
However, Lin Yuqing was beginning to feel extremely jealous of how Lin Yiqian held onto Gu Nianshen.
After seeing that her parents and brother were remaining silent, she could not help but stand up as she pointed at Lin Yiqian. “Brother-in-law, Lin Yiqian has been going around and making up stories based on her status as your wife. You did not mention that you have bought this bungalow for her. However, she has actually said that it belonged to her and has even rudely asked my father and uncles to leave.”
Lin Yiqian was merely bought by the Gu family with 300 million dollars. Why would they give her such an expensive bungalow?
Lin Yuqing was determined to reveal Lin Yiqian’s true personality to Gu Nianshen.
On the other hand, Lin Yiqian remained silent.
She had had enough of this drama and could not stand how Lin Yuqing was exaggerating things.
After she rolled her eyes, Lin Yiqian looked up at Gu Nianshen.
Her utmost concern was whether this fellow believed the story. However, there was a part of Lin Yiqian who was completely unafraid that Gu Nianshen would believe it.
That was because she could feel that he had arrived so suddenly just to support her.
It was an unusual sense of trust.
After hearing what Lin Yuqing had to say, Gu Nianshen chuckled.
He then lifted one hand from behind him and circled it around Lin Yiqian’s waist. “I bought this bungalow for her because it is important to her. Everything I own belongs to her,” Gu Nianshen said loudly as he faced the crowd.
