Chapter 54 - 27 Cousin’s Anger_2
The master and the servant traveled in silence.
Sang Wan couldn’t help but think to herself that Gu Fangzi was incredibly well-informed. She had barely stepped into the study when Gu Fangzi already knew about it. Seeing that she had left, Gu Fangzi would naturally go and interrogate to check on things. Sang Wan couldn’t help but be puzzled; with Gu Fangzi acting so fiercely watchful, could Shi Fengju really tolerate it?
She shook her head slightly; his taste was indeed rather strange.
What Sang Wan didn’t know was that Shi Fengju was actually feeling increasingly intolerant towards Gu Fangzi. He suddenly had a faint feeling that the cousin now was completely different from his cousin of the past. The cousin he knew before was understanding, lively and cheerful, resolute, and calm, possessing a courage, confidence, and flamboyance that wasn’t found in ordinary ladies, and it was precisely these unique qualities that deeply attracted him.
The Shi family had a large family business, and his wife needed to be capable of managing the inner courtyard, as well as being his helpful partner in business matters. After all, many core secrets of the business weren’t something he could casually reveal to even his most trusted attendants or managers, but his wife was different. Because they were essentially one.
It was not easy to marry a wife who was competent both inside and outside the home, and for the two of them to be childhood sweethearts, deeply in love. Thus, he valued her highly and cherished her greatly.
But, the feeling she gave him was gradually becoming different. He couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the difference lay, but it just wasn’t the same anymore.
For example, in the past, she would never question him with doubting eyes, asking repeatedly, "Really? You’re not lying to me?", nor would she constantly play the victim or remind him of how much she had suffered or compromised for him, and she would certainly not speak of other women with a sour tone, such as Sang Wan.
