Chapter 965: A Family-Like Existence

"Five years ago, my fourth sister-in-law jumped off a cliff. You know how high that cliff is. If she jumped down, there would be no chance of survival. Even if...even if a miracle happened and my fourth sister-in-law was still alive, the baby in her belly was so fragile, how could it be possible to survive..."

After hearing this, Gu Nanpei suddenly felt that he was just daydreaming.

Sheng Zhixun smiled contemptuously, his smile was cold and scary, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A man like him who is hard-hearted and good at disguise may have had other women when my fourth sister-in-law was still alive, but he always treated my fourth sister-in-law as a fool!"

Gu Nanpei felt bad, staring at the photo on the computer screen, muttering, "It would be better if it was taken from the front..."

She really wanted to see what the woman in Sheng Shimo's arms in the photo looked like.

Sheng Zhixun felt annoyed and simply turned off the computer switchboard.

With a slight click, the screen suddenly went dark, reflecting Gu Nanpei's handsome face that was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Sheng Zhixun was still angry, clenched his fists, and his face was terribly gloomy, like a lion that could get angry at any time.

Gu Nanpei hurriedly picked up the flower tea and handed it to him, "Drink some tea and rest for a while."

Sheng Zhixun took the flower tea, took a sip, and his mood calmed down a little.

He stared at the petals floating in the tea and asked, "Where did the flowers come from?"

Gu Nanpei hurriedly replied, "I picked them from the garden. After washing them, I dried them while the sun was shining brightly outside and put them all in a small jar. You can take them out and brew them anytime you want. Is it delicious?"

Sheng Zhixun smiled slightly, "It's delicious, thank you."

Gu Nanpei's expression froze slightly, bit his pink lips, and still couldn't help but say, "Making a cup of flower tea is just a small matter, you don't have to... say thank you..."

It sounds strangely distant...

In fact, in the past few years, after eating and living together, Gu Nanpei thought that her relationship with Sheng Zhixun had long become like that of a family.

She would feel very uncomfortable if she kept saying thank you.

But Sheng Zhixun didn't seem to understand her implication, and continued to look down and flip through the documents in his hand.

Gu Nanpei had no choice but to pick up the empty teacup and quietly leave the study.

The moment the door was closed, Sheng Zhixun paused in flipping through the documents, and his face instantly cooled down.

Then, he turned on the computer, clicked on the news again, and stared at the photo below the report, as if he wanted to stare a hole in the back of the man in the photo.

A burst of anger suddenly rose in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes.

"Fourth sister-in-law..."

He muttered silently, calling with endless grief and attachment, as well as deep unwillingness.

Feeling unwilling for the fourth sister-in-law.

The fourth sister-in-law died tragically five years ago, but her body is still warm. Why can Sheng Shimo live so freely!

It was not until dark that Sheng Zhixun came out of the study, rubbed his sore shoulders, and smelled the fragrance of food before he went downstairs.

Gu Nanpei had been sitting at the dining table waiting for a long time. When he saw him go downstairs, he asked the servants to serve the meal.

Sheng Zhixun sat opposite her and said, "Next time you're hungry, just eat first, don't wait for me."

Gu Nanpei took the meal handed over by the servant and said, "I'm not too hungry. I had a lot of snacks in the afternoon."

At the dining table, neither of them spoke, only the sound of the bowls and chopsticks hitting each other was particularly loud in the silence.

Soon, Sheng Zhixun put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, and said, "I'm full, you eat slowly."
