Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Listen to the Wife’s Advice

Tang Qingli asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"Don’t talk."

Tang Qingli fell silent, unsure why they had arrived at the hospital yet hadn’t gone inside.

***

Gu Lili sat on the bed in the basement, hugging her knees, feeling somewhat sad.

Originally, when he agreed to eat, she thought he still trusted her.

But later, when he scolded her for being stupid, she realized that he regretted trusting her.

At that time, it was normal for her to be half-doubtful because she did not know Su Changzhi beforehand and did not understand him at all.

But what was she to Long Yubei?

They were husband and wife, she was his wife, his closest person.

What did he consider her?

A foolish and brainless person?

Someone out to murder him?

Was she so tired of living that she would do such a suicidal thing?

This house was indeed his home, and ostensibly it was hers as well. But in reality, when something really happened, no one would listen to her.

Gu Lili regretted it. If she had known he would react this way, even if she would have served it to Gu Xichen or thrown it away, she wouldn’t have let him eat it!

She laid her head on her knees and suddenly realized that her marriage seemed to never have come close to what she initially hoped for, no matter how hard she wanted to love him, to give him the best she had, to have a child for him.

After half a year of marriage, aside from their physical relationship, their connection seemed essentially unchanged.

With no trust between husband and wife, how could stability be achieved?

She felt disillusioned, unable to see a future for this marriage.

Gu Lili closed her eyes and just sat there and fell asleep.

When Long Yubei came to pick her up, it had already been over two hours.

It was raining heavily outside.

The moment he picked her up, Gu Lili woke up, but she kept her eyes closed and didn’t move.

Letting him carry her back to the bedroom and carefully lay her on the bed.

"I know you’re awake."

Gu Lili turned her back to him and responded without a word.

Long Yubei leaned in and said softly, "It’s my fault, I apologize to you."

Gu Lili’s nose felt sour, and she sat up to look at him, her tone void of warmth, "I thought maybe you were poisoned to death by me?"

"I didn’t mistrust you, I mistrusted that Su Changzhi."

"There’s no need to explain." She laid down to sleep, "I don’t want to listen."

"Lili..."

"Get out."

"What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

"Run fifty laps around the courtyard. If you can do that, I’ll forgive you."

"You said it." And he actually went.

Seeing Long Yubei leave, Gu Lili lay on the bed, stretched out her hand to turn off the light, and muttered with her eyes closed, "Finally out of sight, out of mind..."

She settled into a peaceful sleep, not bothering to check if he was really running.

Yet, Long Yubei seriously followed through.

What fifty laps entailed goes without saying, of course, Long Yubei couldn’t run them in one go.

He spent the entire night.

At first, Tang Qingli ran along with him, later on, he just watched him run by himself.

"Captain, has the young master gone mad, running in the middle of the night?" Xiao A didn’t understand.

Tang Qingli glanced at him, "You know nothing, this is the punishment the Young Madam gave our young master. If the young master doesn’t do it, the Young Madam might run away from home again in the morning!"

"Since when has the young master been so afraid of the Young Madam running away from home?" Xiao A was perplexed, "Hasn’t our young master always been fearless? He even locked up the Young Madam."

"You blockhead, can’t you see that it’s exactly because of the locking up that the young master is acting this way? Go stand watch."

"Oh..."
