She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Chapter 0275: The Serious Consequences of Wife Getting Angry Chapter 275: Chapter 0275: The Serious Consequences of Wife Getting Angry In the end, Shen Zichu shamelessly stayed over, of course, pinned to the sofa by Gu Xiaoman who forbade him from taking one step beyond his boundaries.

Shen Zichu thought, huh, as if waiting for the right moment was something he couldn't handle?

But to his surprise, Gu Xiaoman guarded him like a thief and locked the bedroom door.

Shen Zichu silently wept, his heart shattered into pieces. It was over, the operation had failed.

The next day.

Shen Zichu behaved well and made breakfast by hand, which Gu Xiaoman hadn't expected from young Master Shen who seemed all tough on the outside.

“Good morning, wife, let's have breakfast.”

Gu Xiaoman looked at Shen Zichu with eyes full of suspicion.

“You didn't poison it, did you?”

Shen Zichu glared with his attractive eyes.

“Am I that kind of person?”

Gu Xiaoman tugged at the corner of her mouth.

“Hard to say…”
Shen Zichu felt dejected.

“They say a couple can fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot of it. Mrs. Shen, with your gracious heart, please forgive me this time, I promise I won't play tricks on you anymore.

Tell me what you want to know, and I'll explain everything clearly.”

Gu Xiaoman hadn't slept well the previous night, constantly wondering if she was being too harsh.

After all, it was all in the past, and dwelling on it really wasn't necessary.

But the lump in her heart wasn't easy to dissolve.

She had met Shao Wei, and objectively speaking, she was impressive, a goddess even, and those long legs were definitely Shen Zichu's type; her own petite stature couldn't compete at all.

Comparing their backgrounds, they were evenly matched educationally, but in terms of career, Shao Wei shared common interests and language with Shen Zichu which she could never match.

Then there was the matter of family background… Well, there was no point in comparing, as Gu Xiaoman's family could barely be traced, whereas the Shen Family was prominent and wealthy; she was truly the Cinderella who had snagged the prince.

Old Mr. Shen was rather progressive, but the rest… Turning it over in her mind, Gu Xiaoman's previous adamant belief that she could be a brave knight had completely collapsed.

If Shen Zichu was wholly committed to her, Gu Xiaoman felt she wouldn't just face difficulties; she'd confront them barehanded if needed.

Seeing her silent, Shen Zichu didn't know what she was thinking, and his smile faltered.

“Wife, please don't be mad anymore, okay?”

Gu Xiaoman looked up at him.

“Shen Zichu, let's talk it out calmly.

I feel that since we just got married, there are many areas where we still need to adjust to each other.

You proposed impulsively, and I agreed, we got our marriage certificate and made it legal, but the fact is, there are many issues between us; you acknowledge that, right?”

Shen Zichu thought for a moment and replied:
“Problems can be solved.”

“It depends on the problem. Honestly, I'm usually very resilient, but this blow from you was too much.

Technically, your old crush should be in the past, and I shouldn't dwell on it.

But now… you and your old flame work at the same hospital, and you call each other brothers; I was really naive before, thinking you were just friends, but now, knowing this…

How am I supposed to change my biased view? I'm not a saint, I can't just not care.”

Gu Xiaoman was being very frank, and Shen Zichu thought for a while.

“What do you want me to do?”

Gu Xiaoman stared intently at him.

“Move Shao Wei away, reduce interactions.”

Shen Zichu frowned.

“Doing this… Shao Wei will definitely find it strange, and the people around…”

Gu Xiaoman pursed her lips and interrupted him.

“So what you're concerned about now are her feelings?”

Shen Zichu was taken aback. That wasn't his intention, but once the words were out, they easily gave the wrong impression.

“What I mean is that I was the one who hired her, and currently, Shao Wei is performing very well. If I suddenly move her, it will lead to a lot of speculation among the people around us.”

Gu Xiaoman raised an eyebrow.

“If you don't agree with my approach, then suggest one yourself and let's hear it.”

Arms crossed, the gesture actually carried a bit of dissatisfaction, but early in the morning, she wasn't in the mood to argue.

But this issue really stumped Shen Zichu.

“I…”

Some things are like this, nobody is wrong from any perspective, but when combined, they turn into a tangled mess; everyone has their stance, and it's not always a black-and-white matter. There are very few people like Huo Tingxiao who do as they please, whereas Shen Zichu tends to act tactfully without leaving grounds for criticism.

It was also the time of elections for senior hospital positions, and he needed some allies of his own. Experts like Shao Wei were among them.

He initially brought Shao Wei over precisely because of this point.

“Shao Wei is still of help to you in your career, isn't she?”

Gu Xiaoman hit the nail on the head, and Shen Zichu's silence was a tacit agreement.

“So you see, Shen Zichu, I'm really of no help to you.”

Shen Zichu felt that both of them had reached a deadlock. He indeed had let go of Shao Wei completely, purely just friends.

But missing the best time to explain had inadvertently pushed things to where they were today.

It wouldn't be possible for Gu Xiaoman to rebuild trust anytime soon. Now the dilemma had become a choice between career or… marriage.

Such a cliche melodramatic situation, Shen Zichu never imagined it would happen to him.

He also understood the saying, “One wrong step leads to many.”

He now regretted it so much that he wished he had never taken things into his own hands, and now he was reaping what he sowed.

“What I want is a wife, not a work partner.

Gu Xiaoman, I know it's not likely that you will let go of your feelings right away, but I will show you through my actions that I have truly let go of Shao Wei.

Shao Wei also has her own family, and there is no way she and I could have any other emotional entanglement.”

Gu Xiaoman knew these were also Shen Zichu's true words and were very human. She clearly knew this man was nowhere near passionate enough to let his career be immediately affected, but then… who isn't greedy? With a taste of sweetness comes the desire for more, endlessly.

“So, are you waiting for me to think through it myself, to understand you?”

Right to the heart of the matter, Shen Zichu knew admitting it would once again hurt Gu Xiaoman.

But for the time being, he couldn't think of a perfect solution.

“I'm sorry… It's all my fault.”

Gu Xiaoman stopped talking and didn't touch the breakfast Shen Zichu had made.

She was someone with a big heart, yet also sensitive.

Some things once they crossed her line, were absolutely unacceptable.

Shen Zichu was lucky; he had inadvertently stepped on her most sensitive mine, and it was the most explosive kind.

“Do you know the idiom 'You can't have your cake and eat it too'? Shen Zichu, your thoughts are human nature, but I also have my own principles for handling things.

So, like I said before, no one is right or wrong, just that our paths differ… and cannot plan together.”
