123: Why Did He Turn Out to Be Your Nephew?

Why Did He Turn Out to Be Your Nephew?

"You!" She was so upset that she wanted to punch him. Unfortunately, he was Bao Junyan's nephew, and one whom she could not touch!1

"I'm giving you one month to leave my uncle. If you still insist on staying with him after a month, I'll take action!" The boy tossed his ultimatum and left.

As she watched him departing, her head started to throb. Of all people, why must Bao Junyan's nephew be Gu Chenyi?

How could someone with "Gu" as a surname turn out to Bao Junyan's nephew?!

After Gu Chenyi returned to the hall, he left the house speedily with Lin Qingya in tow. He did not want to witness the happy scene between his uncle and Mu Huan.

Right about this time, the man had changed clothes and went downstairs.

"Your nephew is gone," she told him.

"Yes."

"His name is Gu Chenyi. Why is he your nephew?" She could not understand why these two with different family names could end up related to each other.

"He's my cousin's son. When my cousin married the only daughter of the Gu family, his son took over the mother's family name," he told her.

"…"

It was hard to imagine that such an influential family like the Baos would want to enter into an uxorilocal marriage.

And honestly, how old is his cousin to have such a grown-up son?!

The man popped a question out of the blue. "Do you like Chenyi and pursued him in the past?"

"That's only his presumption, I've never chased after him!"

The man merely acknowledged this with a soft hum.

The moment she realized that the boy would go all out to destroy her reputation thereafter, she hastily walked up to her husband. "Hubby, please don't believe any of his words when he badmouths me again next time. We're on bad terms now. He's out to ruin my reputation!" she said petulantly, clinging on his arm and looking up at him.

"What was the feud between you two?"

"…"

How was she going to put it across to him? Should she mention that they were dating in the past and he decided to break up with her after believing the malicious lies from her grandma and Lin Qingya? And now, he wanted her to divorce him as well?

Being totally honest would implicate too many people and too many issues. It would be courting trouble.

"Hubby, may I keep this a secret?" Her eyes lifted toward him dolefully.

"…"

"Hubby, I can promise you that there isn't any intimate relationship between the two of us now! I want to keep this a secret because there is stuff that juniors like us will not want a senior like you to know!"

"Juniors… and a senior like me?" The man narrowed his eyes dangerously.

The menacing aura emanating from him was enough to make her shudder. She quickly corrected, "Hubby, that's not what I meant… I mean… I mean…"

In the end, after searching in vain for a suitable description, she could only say, "Hubby, you are considered a senior as you're Gu Chenyi's uncle!"

"…"

"Surely, there must be stuff that you didn't want your seniors to know when you were 18 or 19, right? So, Hubby… can I not tell you the secret…?" She did everything she could to give him that coquettish, doe-eyed look.

"…"

"Come, I've prepared a feast for you. Let's have dinner, Hubby! I'm famished!" She forcefully diverted the subject as she dragged the man to the dining table.

He kept quiet, though he did not insist on her telling, either.

The next day.

"Go and check up on Madam's past relationship with Chenyi."

PA Wang was stunned. "Madam and young mister?"

"Yes."

His assistant was about to execute the order after receiving the confirmation when the man intercepted.

"Forget it, there's no need to investigate." He guessed that the two must have been entangled in a relationship back in the past. And now, since his wifey had sworn that there was no more of this kind of relationship, then he needed not be bothered with what had happened in the past. Now, she was the boy's aunt-in-law and he was her nephew.
