Chapter 823: Contracted a Terminal Illness
"Don’t take it to heart," Nangong Ran hurriedly comforted her, "The Duke was just speaking off the cuff."
"But he really did drive away alone, and left me here by myself," Gu Qibao looked bewilderedly ahead, fell silent for a few seconds, and then turned to Nangong Ran to ask seriously, "Ranran, do you think I’m in the wrong?"
"This..." Nangong Ran scratched her head, finding it hard to say.
"I think, maybe you’re at fault," Nangong Ran thought for a while and spoke bluntly, "The Duke is the most prideful person, but in front of you, he practically has no pride left. He’s become the way he is now, and honestly, Gu Qibao, I think he must be madly in love with you. Seriously, I’m so envious of you.
"A husband who’s both handsome and capable and spoils you so much, if I had a man who got up early in the morning to cook breakfast for me and almost blew up the entire kitchen, I’d definitely be moved to throw caution to the wind and passionately snap at him!"
Hearing Nangong Ran’s exaggerated words, Gu Qibao was speechless, her emotions a bit stirred up as she said, "How could I not be moved! I am very moved, alright! That disaster of a dish, you have no idea how inedible it was, really, if I wasn’t moved, why on earth would I stupidly eat it all up! But he doubted me, he suddenly asked for my phone’s passcode out of the blue!"
Seeing how agitated Gu Qibao was, Nangong Ran nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I know you’re moved, not that, Gu Xiaoqi, is this little thing really worth it? Just giving him your phone’s password, is there anything on your phone that he shouldn’t see?"
"Of course not," Gu Qibao pouted, annoyingly ruffling her hair, "I didn’t give it to him because my phone’s password is really dumb, I was afraid he would laugh at me."
Nangong Ran was at a loss for words at this reason, finally patting her head, "There, there, you’ve always been a bit silly, what does it matter if you’re silly one more time?"
Gu Qibao gave her a deadpan look, and couldn’t help but poke her arm, "How would you feel if your husband constantly ridiculed your intelligence every day?"
"I, of course, would be very angry," Nangong Ran replied, then suddenly laughed, "But it’s not the first time your Duke has scorned you, aren’t you always proud of that?"
"Being looked down on all the time is really upsetting, you know," Gu Qibao pursed her lips, then suddenly added, "But I did find something strange just now."
"What’s strange?" Nangong Ran was amused by her expression, instantly looking as excited as if she’d been injected with adrenaline for gossip.
Gu Qibao furrowed her brows, took a moment to think, and organized her words before she said, "Actually, it was such a trivial matter, I shouldn’t have gotten that angry, but for some reason, I just couldn’t control my temper earlier, I almost hit him, you know!"
Nangong Ran’s eyes widened, "Wow, that serious?"
"Yeah," Gu Qibao nodded gravely, "Anyway, at that moment, I was especially, especially angry, I don’t know why, I couldn’t control myself, if I didn’t love him so much, I might have slapped him already, but I bit his hand and it bled."
As she mentioned this, Gu Qibao felt a twinge of guilt rise within her, yet she was still very angry because Di Mingjue had actually left her behind.
And she was convinced that Di Mingjue doubted her, that he didn’t trust her.
Hearing Gu Qibao’s words, Nangong Ran couldn’t help but frown, "Is your Aunt Flo coming, making you so irritable?"
"It’s coming soon," Gu Qibao nodded and took a deep breath, "Maybe that’s the reason? I’m not sure, anyway, I’m really irritated inside, I can’t control myself, I’m especially annoyed by Di Mingjue right now, what should I do, Ranran, you don’t think I’m suffering from some terminal illness, do you?"
