Chapitre 18: Pretty Aunty

Wu Jinyan gaped at the big man and the little kid with her eyes wide open.

This place was her precious house which she bought using her savings and personally decorated every corner but why were these two acting like it was theirs? And what's with the sudden affection between these two strangers?

Something else bothered her more than them treating her house as their own.

She silently dragged Little Bunny from the living room to a quiet corner and questioned seriously "Little Bunny, how do you know Aunt's apartment passcode?"

In this insecure world, it was a secure method to keep one's home safe but this little kid knew her passcode!

He must be kidding.

Little Bunny stared at Wu Jinyan and sighed. His neighbor was pretty and gracious to be regarded as an angel but she also becomes a bit dumb at times.

Little Bunny answered as if speaking to an ignorant woman "Aunt Jinyan... you must have forgotten. When you first came here, it was me who told you the easiest passcode ever to remember when you were struggling to decide on a number"

Wu Jinyan felt of bolt hit her head. Yes, when she first came to this apartment, it did happen. It was her fault to listen to a little kid's words and set the passcode to '0000'.

Alright. She had to give up fighting with this kid as this kind of situation arose only due to her stupidity.

Thank god, the person to whom Little Bunny said the password was Gu Zichen, a rich guy who could get anything he wanted in this world.

What if it was someone else? She was frightened for a second.

She had too much valuable stuff inside her apartment. Her old music albums, comic books and drama CDs were specially autographed and worth a fortune, but not as valuable as herself. What if something happened to her?

"Don't tell my passcode to others like that again, okay" she warned the kid in a strict tone but in her heart, she decided to change the password again with some other easy line of numbers.

Wu Jinyan then walked towards Gu Zichen who sat lazily on the sofa while scanning through the apartment. She stood with her arms crossed before him trying to receive his attention.

Noticing her slender figure before him, Gu Zichen raised his head to see her small face which was now expressionless and cold as an ice block.

What's with this swift shift?

Since she entered the meeting in the morning, she turned into a tigress unleashing her vigour. She acted like a beast who just woke up from its long slumber.

He was concerned about her acting different from her usual cute and silly self.

He didn't understand what got into Wu Jinyan's head for her to behave so oddly. It's not like he was living in a fantasy world to think a spirit entered her body to change her demeanour.

She was no longer acting like his stupid wife. He liked the silly girl who married him thoughtlessly more than the present cold one. He was missing the shy look she always had while gazing at him.

This harsh gaze she was throwing at him now made him think he was not with his wife but with some strange devil.

"You are Wu Jinyan right?!" Gu Zichen stood up from his seat and pinched her cheek to check in case he was really with a stranger.

Wu Jinyan stood unmoved. Her face darkened with hot fumes gushing out from the top of her head. The only thing she thought she couldn't tolerate was this man not caring about her. But here he was adding oil to the fire. He was fanning her simmering rage to blow up by doubting her presence even with her standing tall like a pillar right before his eyes.

"Don't you touch me" Wu Jinyan stepped back and picked up the little boy tugging her clothes. With the closeness between their faces, Little Bunny had access to examine her face. He smoothened her furrowed brows with his tiny, slim fingers and mumbled with his childish voice in her ears "Aunty, if you stay angry for long, You'll become old and ugly. I like pretty Aunty more"

Wu Jinyan smiled at the kid. This little kid was smart, unlike some brainless man. She glared at the man again before walking straight into her room carrying Little Bunny in her arms.

Little Bunny took one last look at Gu Zichen's ashen face. He was happy as he could play with his beautiful aunty Jinyan and listen to her sweet lullabies. He again thanked his mother for always being busy with her work and leaving him alone at home. He likes pretty Aunty.

Gu Zichen stood in the same place for a long time, roots started growing from his feet.

What just happened?! She smiled looking at the kid but gave a cold shoulder to her husband.

He immediately called Chen Fei and asked for all her details including her medical records.

Gu Zichen assumed what the kid said to him a while ago was right. When he came, he saw Little Bunny outside Wu Jinyan's apartment squatting while hugging his knees.

Seeing the child's tear-covered face, he asked him what was wrong and the answer shocked him. "Aunt Jinyan was no longer the same Aunt Jinyan. She said she will not live with Little Bunny anymore"

Understanding the child's tears were because Wu Jinyan moved to his place, Gu Zichen casually promised to let Wu Jinyan stay at her apartment to calm him down.

Watching her cold behaviour, Gu Zichen thought she was no longer the same Wu Jinyan he knew. This cold woman was not his wife. She's not that cute woman who married him.

He didn't know why she suddenly changed. He could only drive back to his villa with a restless heart and doubtful mind.

Like most men, he too never understood what women ever wanted. It's time for him to learn.

....

The next morning, Wu Jinyan's manager came to pick her up as she said. Lin Ran walked into the apartment and saw the kid at the dining table eating pancakes. She asked spontaneously with a glint in her eyes. "Wu Jinyan, this child looks cute, Who is his father?"

"I don't quite remember. I don't know" Wu Jinyan replied instantly not understanding Lin Ran's intention.

"Wu Jinyan... you don't know the child's father but you gave birth to this child. And you never told me that you had a child? What other secrets are you hiding from me? Huh!!" Lin Ran screamed with her hands on her hips.
