Chapter 255: It Was Her Own Fault
Lin Yiqian looked at Xiaoyu as she remained speechless. “You haven’t taken a shower yet. You’ll stink. You can’t sleep yet.”
“Daddy hasn’t taken a shower either. He doesn’t stink,” Xiaoyu retorted.
Why would Xiaoyu stink?
Mommy was being unfair.
Lin Yiqian could not believe that Xiaoyu actually talked back to her.
After lifting Gu Nianshen’s legs onto the bed, she circled around to the other side of the bed to carry Xiaoyu away.
Suddenly, Gu Nianshen flipped around and his arm landed on top of Xiaoyu.
Sensing that something was amiss, he moved his hand about until he felt Xiaoyu’s soft and smooth skin when he suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.
Realizing that the little kid was lying next to him, he suddenly felt much more awake. “Lin Yiqian, why did you bring this fellow home?” Gu Nianshen frowned.
As he was still drunk, he did not sound like he was actually angry.
However, Gu Nianshen could barely remain upright for a few seconds as he immediately fell back onto the bed.
“Little jerk, get lost.” He looked at Lin Xiaoyu with a hostile expression on his face.
Xiaoyu was in his wife’s place.
When Lin Yiqian heard Gu Nianshen calling Xiaoyu a little jerk, she suddenly felt an odd sense of joy.
“If I didn’t bring him home, I would have left you at the restaurant to send him to his family.” Lin Yiqian retorted.
She sounded equally p.i.s.sed.
Gu Nianshen remained silent as if he could not comprehend what she was saying.
However, he was still looking at Lin Xiaoyu in a hostile manner.
“Mommy, will Daddy hit me?” Xiaoyu began to feel afraid under his gaze.
Gu Nianshen was staring at Xiaoyu as if he had stolen something from Gu Nianshen.
This was such a strange scene for Lin Yiqian to observe.
“No, he won’t.” Lin Yiqian shook her head as she chuckled.
When she looked at Xiaoyu, she realized that he truly was frightened.
Right then, Xiaoyu did not even dare to blink as he wrapped himself tightly under the covers for protection.
His neck was retracted to the point where his entire head was almost underneath the duvet. Lin Yiqian wondered if he was s.h.i.+vering from fear.
Although Lin Yiqian felt like laughing, she restrained herself and began to show a look of concern.
Were they not biologically related?
‘Lin Yiqian, this is your own fault.’ She thought to herself.
“Lin Yiqian, turn on the water for me.” Gu Nianshen suddenly s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Lin Yiqian.
He had spoken as if he were giving orders.
Was he blaming Lin Yiqian for bringing Xiaoyu home?
‘Forget about it.’ Lin Yiqian thought. If he wanted her to turn the water on, she would do it. After all, he would feel much better after taking a shower.
After turning the tap on in the bathroom, she returned to the bed and pulled Gu Nianshen up from it.
As soon as Gu Nianshen stood up, his body fell forward. Lin Yiqian hurriedly wrapped her hand around his waist to keep him steady.
She should not have let him drink this much.
Lin Yiqian did not expect him to finish the entire bottle of wine on his own.
‘What had he been through in the past five years? What has compelled him to drink this much on his own?’ Lin Yiqian wondered as he helped Gu Nianshen to walk to the bathroom.
Once they were inside, Lin Yiqian brought him over to the sink so that he could lean on it for support. “Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll bring you some clothes.”
Lin Yiqian was about to walk out of the bathroom when Gu Nianshen suddenly grabbed her by the arm. “Lin Yiqian, take off my clothes first.”
As he spoke, he forcefully pulled Lin Yiqian’s hand to the first b.u.t.ton on his s.h.i.+rt.
He was being ruthless.
‘This fellow is being so difficult tonight!’ Lin Yiqian shook her head helplessly as she chuckled. She then lifted her other hand to help Gu Nianshen with the b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt, one at a time.
