I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 87: The Night Call
Gu Changsheng patted his wife's shoulder. The couple breathed.
Grandma Gu went to the corner sink to wash the fruit while Gu Ling, who had just brought a bowl of fruit, quietly stared at the plate. He sighed as he thought of Shao Chong who was standing by the door despite the wind and rain: How could Gu Jin leave such a good man?
It seems that his current girlfriend must be better than him.
When he finished bathing, Gu Jin sleepily lay down on his bed. For some reason, he kept flipping through, unable to fall asleep.
After some thought, he dialed Mu Mingcheng's number.
“What's the problem?” Mu Mingcheng asked. He is currently dealing with business issues in front of his computer screen. Since he left for country Y on a business trip, there were things he needed to arrange first while he was away from the company.
“I'm fine,” Gu Jin replied as he turned around with a pillow on his arm. “I just want to check if you're sleeping or not.”
“Oh?” Mu Mingcheng moved the mouse to the upper right corner and clicked the close button. She went to the balcony and answered him in a surprised tone, “You should call me occasionally.”
Despite the dark and gloomy weather, his mood was unaffected. There was even a little bit of cheerfulness.
Gu Jin raised his phone while pondering; thinking about it, they had discussed it before. He vaguely remembered that the possessive Mu Mingcheng had him call him every day.
After a while, Mu Mingcheng laughed and said, “Are you sleeping?”
“I can't sleep,” Gu Jin replied as he massaged his temple in annoyance.
Realizing that his tone was not right, Mu Mingcheng asked, “Where are you?”
“At my family's house,” said.
“Why did you come home so suddenly?” Mu Mingcheng was shocked. Since the two of them were about to leave the country the next day, shouldn't he be preparing for that trip?
Wasn't Shao Chong the man who shared the secret with Gu Jin?
Mu Mingcheng frowned at the other side of the line. “What's he coming for? There's always another guy around you. Yesterday was Tong Lin. Today, Shao Chong.”
“He came to visit me,” said Gu Jin lightly.
“Ah,” Mu Mingcheng said with a self-deprecating smile, “What did you say?”
“Of course I did the right thing and rejected it!” Gu Jin tidied up his pillow and lay down on it. “But-”
“... She doesn't seem to want to give up.”
“Do not worry,” Mu Mingcheng assured. He turned around and leaned against the fence while replying, “In a moment, he doesn't even have time to bother you.”
“That's good,” Gu Jin yawned and spoke tiredly, “I'm a little sleepy now. Good night.”
After hanging up the phone, she smiled to herself: Because I am just a weak woman who does not have the strength to tie this shitty chicken, she said, it is best to seek the help of other men to overcome this problem after being persecuted.
After his phone beeped, Mu Mingcheng sighed.
How could he not realize what was on his girlfriend's mind?
Author's closing word:
Gu Teng: I am very angry, after we get rid of brother-in-law, another one comes!
Some people commented that with a caring mother like Li Mingxia, the original owner would never end in such a tragic way. Emmm, in fact, based on the personality of the original owner's bearer, her family usually doesn't worry about her much.
