Chapter 38: She's My Wife

"I..." Guo Xiang suddenly didn't know what to say.

Gu Zhennan looked at her indifferently. "I'll go wash up first!"

After saying that, he took the washbasin and towel, took the raw soap, looked at the soap on the side, and walked out without saying a word.

Guo Xiang saw that he didn't go to the bathhouse with the washbasin, but went directly to the laundry pool in front.

She was shocked when she saw a row of shirtless men bathing in front of the laundry pool.

Because it was a hot day and no one wanted to use hot water, everyone was bathing outside. Plus, it didn't really matter because they were all men. 

Most of the oil workers were physically strong. Looking at the row of shirtless men, even Guo Xiang, who came from the later generations, could not help but blush.

This was too spectacular...

After Gu Zhennan took a shower, he walked over in his wet shorts. When he saw Guo Xiang, he suddenly remembered that there was a woman in the room, so he quickly used the basin to shield himself.

Guo Xiang saw him walk in. His short and neat black hair, sparkling water droplets from his hair, dripped down to his firm chest, and his long legs were slender and full of tension. He looked so sexy that anyone would become flustered after looking at him. 

But why did he feel a little familiar?

Gu Zhennan glanced at Guo Xiang and walked past her. He took a pair of shorts from the cabinet and hesitated for a moment before walking out.

Usually, he would change his shorts in the house after taking a shower. But now that there was someone in the house, what should he do? Should he go to the toilet to change?

Guo Xiang suddenly came to her senses and blushed. "I... I'll go out!"

With that, she walked out quickly and closed the door.

Gu Zhennan pursed his lips and took off his wet pants to throw them into the bucket. When he saw that there were women's clothes in the bucket, he paused and put the wet pants into the basin.

He changed into the clean ones and put on the vest and shorts.

It would have been fine if he had worn shorts when he was alone, but now... it was a little inconvenient.

After changing, he opened the door and said, "I'm done." 

Guo Xiang walked in.

The more she looked at Gu Zhennan's face, the more familiar he felt. Suddenly, she screamed, "It's you, you're the one..." who I met on the train! 

Gu Zhennan was surprised. She had seen him before? Wasn't she unconscious when he saved her? She hadn't opened her eyes when they got married either.

He looked at her and felt that she looked familiar. The delicate face of the little woman on the train suddenly appeared in his mind. He was shocked. "It's you?"

"How did you... change so much?"

Don't blame him for not recognizing her. He was bad with recognizing faces to begin with. Moreover, Guo Xiang had changed a lot. Her hair was cut short, and her style of clothing had completely changed. She looked like a completely different person.

Moreover, how could she be Guo Xiang. Was she the fool? Why did he feel that it was so unbelievable?

"It's me. I'm the person on the train... I also..." Guo Xiang was too embarrassed to say that she did pretending to be his wife.

Gu Zhennan's face was still filled with disbelief. How was it possible? She was Guo Xiang? She was his wife?

After that day, he would occasionally think of her. He would think of her smiling eyes. He would think of her hugging his arm and saying, "He's my husband." Every time he thought about it, his heart would beat faster.

But he also felt that he shouldn't be like this. He was someone who had a wife. He shouldn't think about other women.

He never thought that she was actually his wife?

"You... you're not..." a fool? Gu Zhennan was shocked.

"I recovered!" Guo Xiang smiled and twisted her hands behind her back. Was he surprised? He better be!

She herself was quite surprised. The handsome man she met on the train was actually Gu Zhennan? It was her husband?

She thought she would never see him again. What a coincidence!

However...

Guo Xiang was here to ask for a divorce.

What should he do?

Should she change her mind?

"You..." knowing that Guo Xiang was his wife and the person he missed, Gu Zhennan suddenly felt a little at a loss.

It was too unexpected. He was not mentally prepared.

Calm down, calm down. He couldn't let her see that he had lost his composure. Gu Zhennan took a deep breath.

"Have you... eaten?" Gu Zhennan returned to normal.

"Yes." Guo Xiang nodded. "By the way, Li Chun also brought you some food, but it's a little cold now..."

"It's okay!" Gu Zhennan answered expressionlessly.

He opened the lunchbox and took the chopsticks to eat.

Looking at Gu Zhennan, Guo Xiang calmed down.

He recognized her, but was not as surprised as she had imagined. Did he not like her? Did he like someone else?

Now that Guo Xiang thought about it, although he had helped her on the train, he had never smiled at her or taken the initiative to talk to her. So he did not have any feelings for her at all?

Did I think too highly of myself? Guo Xiang mocked herself in her heart.

That was good. It seemed that the decision to divorce was right.

Gu Zhennan had no idea what Guo Xiang was thinking. He looked calm, but in fact, his heart was already flying. Why was the food today so delicious? It had never been like this before.

She was his wife? Why was everything so amazing? 

"Oh, right..."

Guo Xiang suddenly remembered the pile of specialty products that Wang Guiying had asked her to bring. She dragged her luggage over and took out the things inside one by one.

"This is what Mother asked me to bring. It's all your favorite food. There's chili sauce, sour beans, and..." Guo Xiang suddenly shut her mouth. What was with this familiar tone? Had she been brainwashed by Wang Guiying? Why did she say it so smoothly?

"Yes!" Gu Zhennan answered. He took the chili sauce, scooped a spoonful, and put it into the lunch box. The corners of his mouth curled up.

Seeing that, Guo Xiang suddenly felt a little uneasy. They had met on the train the other day. Logically, she should have come to his place the next day. However, she had been to Yunnan for a few days. How would she answer him if he asked? Should she tell him the truth?

However, Gu Zhennan continued to eat as if he had not thought of it.

Forget it. What was the point of thinking so much? Perhaps he did not care at all?

There were no extra chairs in the room. It didn't seem good to sit on the bed. Guo Xiang stood uneasily.

Gu Zhennan seemed to have sensed it. He quickly finished his meal, pulled out the chair, and went out to wash the lunch box.

When he came back, Guo Xiang was still standing there with an uneasy expression on her face.

Gu Zhennan suddenly felt like laughing. She was so bold at the train station. Why was she timid now?

"Well... I'll sleep on the floor tonight..." Guo Xiang suddenly said.

Gu Zhennan glanced at her. So she was afraid of this?

"You sleep on the bed!" Gu Zhennan said.

"No need. You have to work tomorrow. I'll sleep on the floor!" Guo Xiang insisted.

"You're a woman..."Gu Zhennan looked at her.

"What's wrong with a woman? I want to sleep on the floor!" Guo Xiang suddenly became angry.

Gu Zhennan looked at her fixedly. After a while, he said, "Okay!"

Eh? Guo Xiang staggered. Did he agree? She thought he would insist.

Gu Zhennan laughed in his heart. As long as you're happy, my wife.

He walked to the bed and opened the cabinet. After taking a look at the things inside, he opened the door and walked out.

Eh, he left? Where was he going? Could he be going to sleep in someone else's house? Guo Xiang was confused.

After a while, Gu Zhennan carried a brand new mat and walked in. He laid it on the ground and carefully wiped it with a half-dried rag.

So he went to buy a mat?

Looking at Gu Zhennan carefully wiping the mat, Guo Xiang felt relieved.

When the mat was dry, Gu Zhennan took out a pillow and a blanket from the cabinet and placed them on the mat.

Guo Xiang sat down.

When she looked up, she saw the man's long legs. He was so tall, yet he did not sit down. Is he trying to strain my neck? Guo Xiang cursed silently.
