Callous Boss and Awkward Wife Chapter 51-55

Chapter 51: Arrangement

Proofread by Peter Gong

When Yu Fei takes a bath, Gu Yi makes a large bowl of ginger soup for her for fear that she gets cold after her exposure to the rain. The ginger soup in the bowl is steaming. Gu Yi takes a look at the clock on the wall and finds that she has already been in the bathroom for nearly one hour. The hot water will turn cold for such a long time, but why doesn’t she get out? Does she…

A terrible thought flashes in Gu Yi’s mind. He immediately stands up and goes straight to the bathroom without care. Does she make away with herself? Standing at the bathroom door, he knocks at the door harder and harder. He shouts, “Fei? Yu Fei? Can you hear me? Say something!” But there is no sound inside.

A desperate terror falls on him. When he is about to press down the doorknob, the door is opened from inside. With his pajamas on, Yu Fei walks out with wet hair dripping, which forms small water circles beside her feet. Yu Fei’s complexion turns a little rosy after the long shower. Gu Yi looks at her carefully and doesn’t feel relaxed until he makes sure she is okay. He blames her, “Why don’t you speak? You’ve scared me!” Then he pats his chest to make a scared look. He does it in order to amuse Yu Fei. However, she doesn’t have any expression as if she didn’t hear his words.

Taking Yu Fei to the living room, Gu Yi puts the ginger soup in front of her, “take the warm soup. It’ll ward off the cold of the rain.” Yu Fei stares at the soup, lost in her thoughts that Gu Yi has no way to know. Although Yu Fei is in front of him, he feels there is a huge mountain between them and he can’t overcome it no matter what he does because Yu Fei doesn’t even give him a chance.

Seeing she doesn’t take any action, Gu Yi spoons the soup, blowing to cool it, and he puts it to her mouth, saying, “Fei, take some soup.” However, the word “Fei” reminds her of that man. Her facial expression finally changes a little. She slowly opens her mouth and takes the spoon of the soup which warms her belly as well as her whole body. She looks up and delivers her first sentence tonight, “I take it myself”, which delights Gu Yi and he passes the spoon to her. His mind is slightly assured by her coloring face after she quietly eats all the soup bit by bit.
