Chapter 27: Really Acting Like the Mistress
Gu Qili: "..."
"You can’t seriously think of yourself as the lady of the house, can you?" His voice was full of sarcasm, and the tablet in his hand seemed to have grown smaller, "Just because you cooked once and brought me medicine once, you think you can act as the owner? Don’t forget, we’re only related by a piece of paper."
"You misunderstood." Gu Qili straightened her back, but her eyes were filled with a bitter pain. Did he really think of her this way? If she wanted to climb the social ladder by using him, wouldn’t she have made her move much earlier? She wasn’t that low.
"I didn’t bring my dictionary, I just wanted to use your computer to look up a word." Gu Qili suppressed the sourness in her eyes. For some reason, she felt incredibly wronged. He was right, they were just related by a piece of paper after all, why should she care so much? She was already used to his cold and harsh words and wouldn’t take them to heart.
"If you don’t want to lend it, just don’t lend it, there’s no need to say these awful things." After Gu Qili spoke, she turned and left in annoyance, "Using the standards of a small man to measure a gentleman’s belly."
He is a small man?
Mu Shuoqian frowned slightly. His eyes inadvertently caught sight of her room door being slightly open, with several workbooks spread out on the bed, and a water pen lying on the floor.
He flicked open the black case of the tablet, quickly deleting something.
Without saying whether he would lend it or not, he coldly coughed and, with his back to her, forcefully scratched the tablet against the edge of a fruit knife. The black leather soft case immediately split open.
