Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Awkward Atmosphere

"Why be so polite? Just freshen up and take a good rest. Wasn’t today exhausting?" Gu Junming said, holding her hand and gently hugging her twice.

Sun Chan shyly pushed him away: "You go rest, weren’t you exhausted?"

Gu Junming laughed, "Actually, I’m not that tired, but seeing the family like this really wore me out. You must be even more tired."

Fortunately, these issues with the Gu Family have nothing to do with them. Once they’re married, it’s not likely they’ll live together anyway.

Otherwise, with Sun Chan’s small frame, she probably wouldn’t be able to handle it for long.

"I’ll protect you, don’t be afraid."

Sun Chan smiled and said, "I understand."

She went to the small room nearby to freshen up, and when she returned, Gu Junming had already left. Surprisingly, there was a brand new white set of pajamas lying on the bed.

Sun Chan picked up the clothes with a smile, feeling moved. Did Gu Junming buy these for me?

She lay in bed, unable to sleep for a while, so she picked up a magazine from the desk. It was a famous movie weekly from those years, filled with the latest film magazines.

Sun Chan looked at the images inside; the clothes worn by the stars were really glamorous. Watching them, she thought about how to cut the fabric, so she could make something similar herself.

The more she looked, the more excited she became. Upon seeing a pen holder and some blank paper on the table, she took them out and began to draw. She designed a few dresses, more conservative than those in the magazine, but just as beautiful.

After dealing with so many things, Sun Chan got up a little late in the morning. She had just finished getting ready when Gu Junming called her.

"Come down for breakfast, everyone’s up, let’s have a meal together."

"No, I should go back. If I didn’t return last night, my elder sister might be worried." Sun Chan was a bit nervous, really not wanting to eat with so many people.

Gu Junming laughed, "Don’t worry, I called the guesthouse and had Sister Guihua inform them. Eat, and I’ll drive you back afterwards. I made the meal myself, won’t you give me the honor?"

Sun Chan could only agree, though eating at the same table with so many people was really uncomfortable.

Wang Guihua sat there, looking upset because she had argued with Gu Zishan again the previous night.

Gu Zishan was first called into the bedroom for a scolding, then returned to the room utterly tired. He also thought his wife was too much, but couldn’t keep fighting, so he tried to stay calm, asking Wang Guihua to keep a distance from their daughter-in-law.

"I don’t care if you’re truly wronged or intentionally bullying your daughter-in-law, whether you’re upset, feeling robbed of your son, whatever, just keep away from Yang Hongying from now on. That’s my only request. If you see the daughter-in-law, stay at least a meter away."

"Gu Zishan! What kind of attitude is this?" she immediately wanted to scream, but seeing the look in Gu Zishan’s eyes, she had to suppress her anger and say, "I am your wife! Married publicly, and now you treat me like a prisoner? What’s wrong with you? Why are you treating me this way? She’s just a widow! What’s so special about her, who’s never had a child before?"

Gu Zishan said, "Yes, Yang Hongying is a widow. She doesn’t have much background and you may look down on her, but her cousin is Yan Kai, and behind Yan Kai is Mr. Yan. Today, Mr. Yan specifically told Dad to look after Yang Hongying. Those were harsh words, saying if we aren’t happy with Yang Hongying, send her back, they’ll take care of their child themselves, not troubling us. No matter what we think of this daughter-in-law, at least wait until the child is born. Listen to that!"

Wang Guihua bit her lip in silence, Mr. Yan’s words were like a slap in her face. If rumors spread, everyone would think she’s a harsh woman who bullies her daughter-in-law!
