My Clever Wife Is Sweet

Su Xi turned around and saw the man she least expected to be here. It was Gu Yan standing behind her with an umbrella and his coat was wrapped around her shoulder as if protecting her from getting more soaked. Why the hell he appeared out of nowhere?! She remembered not seeing any car when she was coming here.

"Gu Yan...." Her face was already covered with droplets of rain but Gu Yan can still see that she was crying. Her eyes were still red. It was evident from her face that she was hurt, maybe overthinking also.

"Either you are an idiot or a big fool. Who the hell cries so much in rain? If you wanted to cry in front of the grave, you should have come here when it was sunny. But maybe something is surely wrong with your brain." Gu Yan was lecturing her but her eyes were fixed on his face. He appeared again in front of her. Whenever she wanted to go away, he always comes back!

But was she a big fool? yes, because sitting under rain will make her drown in fever which was the least she wanted as the events coming near were of high importance.

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Gu Yan noticed that she was just staring at him. His first thought was if there is something on his face? But what it can be? But then he noticed that Su Xi was absent-minded.

Her mind was not here but somewhere else. As if listening to Gu Yan's question, Su Xi came into senses and looked at her dress up. She was really sitting on the ground where the mud has already dirtied her dress. Wiping up the tears and droplets from her face, she got up again and shifted her gaze away from Gu Yan's face.

Although it was embarrassing to be caught staring at someone, he was her husband so it is normal right?

Su Xi was wearing a heel but still, she was shorter as compared to Gu Yan. She only came to his shoulders. "Why are you so careless, Ms. Su?" Gu Yan asked as he adjusted his coat which was on Su Xi's shoulder and covered her properly so that her inner clothes are not visible and she doesn't catch a cold. Being a clean freak does not affect him at that moment because of all he wanted to make sure that she is safe.

"It is okay, Mr. Gu. May I ask, what are you doing here?" Hearing this, Gu Yan's hand movement stopped. He looked deep into her eyes and answered. "I was here to visit someone's grave." Su Xi was not interested to know more so she just nodded in understanding. It is his understanding of why is he here so what can she do about it even?

"Thank you for this coat. I shall take your leave." Su Xi didn't want to talk to him. If she did, her heart will hurt more! But maybe God did not agree with her as she heard Gu Yan's voice from behind.

"Su Xi, do you have enough time to have a cup of coffee with me? Only if you don't mind." Hah, if she minded, will he let her go? Of course no! Then what was the fun of even asking her? Her mind was telling her to say no! But her heart was attracted to him and asked her to say yes!

He was getting engaged tomorrow and here he is, asking her for a coffee, what should Su Xi even take it as?!

"Sure." Su Xi replied.

"Near is a coffee shop. Let us go there."

....

In the coffee shop.

Both Su Xi and Gu Yan sat at the table. Su Xi changed into a new set of clothes, which were always there in her car, in the bathroom of the cafe and she was now dried up. Just her hair was being wet were now opened up. But after wearing clothes again with her wet hairs, her skin was absolutely glowing more and more.

"You have something to say, Mr. Gu?" What else the reason could be for Gu Yan to stop her and ask to drink a coffee with him? Gu Yan was a little hesitant to ask. This might be a private question and she might doubt him too but still, he held his chin high and asked,

"Su Xi, can you tell me which.. perfume you use? I know this is something a normal gentleman should not ask a lady but still." Hearing this, Su Xi narrowed her eyes. What does he have to do with her perfume? But was this was the only reason he wants to meet and talk with her? This irritated Su Xi a lot.

"I don't use any perfume. I hate those perfume as I feel nostalgic when I smell one. But why do you want to know about it?"

"Um... Actually." Gu Yan took a deep breath. "I want to gift one to my girlfriend. I smelled yours and found it good so I thought of giving her one too. It will be a surprise for her so I thought of this.." He can't come up with any other plan. This was a lie, a big lie! He thought this was perfect to know about perfume, but he did not expect the topic to take a turn.

"Your girlfriend, you mean Lin Juan?" How is that possible? She saw it with her own eyes that Lin Jua and Gu Yan did not get along then why he wants to gift her a perfume!?!

"Ah... No No!." How come Lin Jua came into this? He might never ever even gift her a piece of paper, perfume is far away.

He continued, "You can't expect a businessman like me to have only one woman in my life, right? Oh come on Su Xi, no man is that good or loyal to a single woman for his entire life, Isn't it true? How can one love only a single person for entire life? I feel that is really bullshit."
