I Married the Male Lead of a CP-free Novel

Chapter 45 — Opportunity

Wen Yu kept staring at her as if he wanted to melt her into his eyes.

Before, he only wanted to hide Chi Zhengzheng in a place that no one could find, but today, he wanted to make Chi Zhengzheng smaller, and then put it in his pocket. So he could take her wherever he went, and hold her in the palm of his hand at all times.

Thinking of her recent overprotective appearance, the corners of Wen Yu’s mouth rose.

Chi Zhengzheng: “…” She looked at him with a smile.

It was over, it was over.

Her image was all gone!

Now Wen Yu must think she’s a shrew, woo woo, he definitely doesn’t like her anymore!

Chi Zhengzheng was about to cry, she was so sad.

Wen Yu took a few steps forward, reached out, and pulled her into his arms, one of his hands on the back of her head, and held her with the other arm, and he rubbed the top of her head.

“I believe it, you’re very gentle.” He said.

Huh?

Chi Zhengzheng was taken aback, feeling the warmth of Wen Yu’s embrace, she murmured: “Really?”

She… didn’t seem to believe it herself.

Wen Yu heard the uncertainty in her tone and couldn’t help but laugh in a low voice, the two hugged each other, and when he laughed, it carried a noticeable vibration.

Chi Zhengzheng: “…” See, in fact, you didn’t believe it either!

She rolled her bug eyes, her face seemed to be in despair.

Wen Yu gently stroked her head, the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn’t be suppressed, and his voice was also tinged with laughter: “Chi Zhengzheng, how nice.”

It had a double meaning.

She always made him feel warm and happy, even when the Wen family was there, because of her, he didn’t feel sick. At that moment, he only has her in his eyes.

Chi Zhengzheng paused slightly.

Did he think she was nice because there was finally someone to speak up for him when Wen Jingsen, Xu Wei, and Wen Yiran were attacking him?

Her heart gushed with sourness for a moment.

It was clear that they were relatives, but for the past twenty years, they had always attacked him together for various reasons, they severely wounded him with harsh words, and stimulated him with their chilling behavior.

They always told Wen Yu with their actions and words at all times that – the three of them were family, and Wen Yu was an extra.

Wen Yu was very capable and rational, and for this reason, he didn’t like to talk, and he didn’t argue with them, let alone quarrel with them.

Whenever faced with verbal accusations and slander, he could only look at them with a cold face and indifference.

After a while, she slowly raised her hand and gently hugged him back, with a gentle voice: “From now on, you have nothing to do with them. You are Wen Yu, the Yu as in having abundance year after year, as in having more than enough, the Yu as in being skillful, and… the Yu as in the rest of your life will go smoothly.“

No longer the Yu as in unnecessary.

Wen Yu didn’t say anything, he just held Chi Zhengzheng’s hand tighter, not allowing her to look up, and not letting her see his slightly moist eyes.

Chi Zhengzheng nestled in his arms pressed her face against his heart, and gritted her teeth: “So if they come again, I will let Liuzhu bite them to death! ”

While spinning on the ground, Liuzhu wagged his tail and raised his head: “Woof woof!”

When Wen Jingsen walked out of Wangjiang Manor, the whole person was almost dizzy and totally pissed off.

Xu Wei was also furious, her voice was somewhat sharp: “It’s too much, it’s too much, it’s simply… it’s simply too disrespectful, that worthless thing!”

She looked at Wen Jingsen and reached out to support him: “Jingsen, this time Wen Yu and Chi Zhengzheng have gone too far, you have to teach them a lesson.”

Wen Jingsen gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and finally, only three words came out of his mouth: “Good, very, good!”

Xu Wei: “Chi Zhengzheng has left home and she’s still so strong-willed, Wen Yu has nothing, she will regret it in the future. And Wen Yu, once he leaves the Wen family, he is nothing! Living in someone else’s house, and still…”

She couldn’t stop talking, she just kept adding fuel to the fire, making Wen Jingsen even angrier.

Wen Yiran hadn’t spoken and looked back at the direction he just came out, his expression was… somewhat envious.

He couldn’t tell what he felt at the moment in his heart. He always thought that when Chi Zhengzheng said she liked Wen Yu, she was just playing hard to get. After all, in the past, everyone knew how much she pestered him to pursue him.

However, today, Wen Yiran finally admitted that – Chi Zhengzheng had fallen out of love.

Who she liked now was Wen Yu.

Just now, because they criticized Wen Yu, she acted like a mother hen protecting her baby, she stood up indignant in front of Wen Yu, attacking them and protecting him.

She didn’t allow them to hurt Wen Yu. They accused Wen Yu she took it as if they were accusing her, making her angry and indignant.

She didn’t need her image, didn’t need standards, regardless of everything, she scolded them and even took the broom to drive them away…

That was the truest reaction, and it was evident that she had already fallen in love with Wen Yu.

Wen Yu was really lucky to have a woman like Chi Zhengzheng who protected him so much and who cared so much about him.

But clearly… this used to belong to him.

Her affection had always been so intense, regardless of everything.

At that time, when Chi Zhengzheng pestered him and pursued him, he felt annoyed, embarrassed, disgusted with her, loathed her, shunned her, but after her eyes were no longer on him, he… didn’t feel very good.

Especially since he didn’t know when he started, surprisingly, it was hard for him to take his eyes off her.

Wen Yiran’s lips pursed, his eyes were blank and his thoughts had already drifted away.

Chi Zhengzheng was playing with Liuzhu, and Wen Yu was watching Chi Zhengzheng play with Liuzhu.

“This way! Liuzhu, catch!”

“Beautiful! Liuzhu, you are getting more and more athletic!”

“Wow! Liuzhu, you’re amazing!”

…

He wasn’t sure if Liuzhu could understand Chi Zhengzheng’s compliments, but his tail was indeed about to wag to the sky.

When Wen Yu looked at them, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
