Chapter 21: Talking About Dreams

Gu Dongxing was startled all of a sudden: "Young lady, you should have some self-respect."

"Oh, then forget it."

In fact, deep down, Jiang Mengyu really did harbor the thought of snatching this devilishly handsome man, who always maintained an icy expression.

When Gu Dongxing was struggling to win his wife's affection and never achieving satisfaction, he regretted countless times why he hadn't spontaneously agreed to her proposed way of returning the favor.

"Am I also in your dream?"

Gu Dongxing suddenly asked, his tone firm despite it being a question.

A mysterious look flickered in his eyes: he wondered, what role did he play in her dreams?

Jiang Mengyu nodded: "Yes. In the dream, I didn't die after jumping off the cliff, I climbed up the cliff, but then someone driving a car hit me, killing me. In the dream, I turned into a ghost and still followed that person."

Jiang Mengyu paused, looking at Gu Dongxing: "The person who drove the car and killed me in the dream later married you. In the dream, as a ghost, I watched you live with her for over a decade."

Hearing that the person who had hit her with a car had married him, Gu Dongxing felt somewhat disappointed, although he wasn't sure why.

Seeing his skeptical look, Jiang Mengyu sighed and said: "In the dream, your favorite dish is hot and sour fish. But because cooking it leaves a lingering smell in the kitchen for days, your wife, using your stomach condition as an excuse, wouldn't allow you to eat it."

Gu Dongxing regarded Jiang Mengyu with a scrutinizing look, wondering how she knew he liked hot and sour fish.

Moreover, he did suffer from a mild stomach condition, which was something only he knew about.

"Also, in the dream, you have a phobia of dirt. You hate women touching you. Even—" Even your wife dislikes touching you.

Gu Dongxing sighed: If someone observed carefully, they could indeed notice his phobia.

Jiang Mengyu thought for a moment, then dropped another bombshell: "In the dream, when you are asleep, if anyone comes within three feet of you, you subdue them. Moreover, you even kill people in your dreams!"

Gu Dongxing suddenly grabbed Jiang Mengyu's neck, staring at her: "How do you know that?"

This was something no one knew about, and it was also the reason he was reluctant to marry at the age of twenty-six.

Jiang Mengyu pried his hands off, though Gu Dongxing had not applied much force.

"I told you, this is from my dream," Jiang Mengyu suddenly leaned close to Gu Dongxing: "Is it really like that? You're so old and still not married, could it be because of this?"

Gu Dongxing huffed: "Young lady, you should have some self-respect."

While he admonished her to maintain self-respect, he actually didn't mind her closeness, in fact, he didn't even move away at all, though his ears did turn red.

Very few girls got so close to him, causing his heart to nearly skip a beat.

Yet, he felt uneasy inside, am I really that old?

Still, her hands were quite soft and smooth, very comfortable to touch. He even forgot that he disliked women touching him.

She's only about fifteen or sixteen years old? Compared to her, he indeed felt quite old.

It was the first time he cared about his age.

Jiang Mengyu mimicked his tone and huffed, "What, still don't believe it? I also know that, in a decade or so, the Gu Family's company will become one of the top five hundred the world. More importantly, I've heard that your martial power is very strong, becoming the President of the Folklore and Cultural Research Association."

"Folklore and Cultural Research Association?" Gu Dongxing's heart stirred, the Folklore and Cultural Research Association was actually the Ancient Martial Artists Union, and being the President not only required a highly respected person but also someone with the top martial arts skills.

But seeing Jiang Mengyu's teasing expression made him feel embarrassed and a bit annoyed.

He put on a stern face: "Be serious. Tell me more about Tiger Valley."
