Passionate Love After Marriage With The White Moonlight Movie Queen

Chapter 13: You Can Directly Tell Me What You Want Me To Do

Shen Qingzhi never expected that just by inviting someone over for a meal at her place, she would have to move out before she could even take two bites.

The most crucial thing is that it was she herself who proposed the idea of moving out. Now, she realizes it and wants to take it back, but it's too late, leaving her feeling regretful without any recourse.

Ah, life, it's just so magical.

Shen Qingzhi leans on the doorstep, sighing, creating a stark contrast to the gentle spring breeze caressing Gu Jinrong's face.

"Master, thank you for your hard work. Just put the things here."

Shen Qingzhi has lived in the Shen family home since childhood. She has never been one to be thrifty, she hoarded a lot of things like a hamster over the years.

Various clothes, figurines, equipment, and dolls were thoughtfully packed by Shen Wangshu and brought over in a moving truck from a moving company to Gu Jinrong's new apartment.

Shen Qingzhi looks at the pile of boxes at the doorstep, almost on the verge of tears.

Oh my mother, there are so many things! When I bought them originally, I didn't think much of it, but now it's really a hassle to move them.

In less than a year, I'll have to move again.

Although Shen Qingzhi got married, she still kept her room at the Shen family's house, and she still has a good portion of her belongings in her old place.

For this move, she initially wanted to keep it simple, but Shen Wangshu felt sorry for her and insisted on bringing along her favorite items.

During the packing process, Shen Qiong kept watching her closely, like an owl.

Shen Qingzhi didn't dare to behave too out of character and ruin her own image, making her own mother suspicious. She could only smile and accept this large pile of boxes filled with maternal love.

Now that it's done, there's no use thinking too much of it.

She resigned herself and walked up to a box, gripping both ends with her hands and lifting it up.

Huff!

It's quite heavy.

Since it's a woman's place and there's privacy to consider, she had only asked the movers to leave the boxes at the doorstep. She didn't expect to be challenged by just a few steps.

Shen Qingzhi put down the box, grumbled as she stood up, and glared at Gu Jinrong. "Today's situation has developed like this, and you have a great responsibility for it."

Gu Jinrong had a smile on her lips, appearing attentive and ready to listen.

"First responsibility, I originally wanted to make thorough preparations and then report our marriage to my mothers. But you didn't discuss it with me and directly revealed the marriage certificate, putting me in a very passive position."

Gu Jinrong nodded slightly, "Indeed, I didn't consider it thoroughly."

Shen Qingzhi saw her maintaining a good attitude and continued her accusations.

"Second responsibility, you acted excessively in front of my two mothers, deceiving them with your innocent appearance, which has caused my family status to decline. Isn't that too much?"

Gu Jinrong didn't refute, "Yes, it is too much."

"Third responsibility, the excuses you used to fool my Mom were somewhat reasonable, but when it came to the matrimonial house, it became absurd."

"You could have come up with a more cautious pretext, so I wouldn't have to leave my hometown now."

From Shen's family to this apartment, it's only an hour's drive.

But at this moment, Shen Qingzhi felt that a child leaving her mother was indeed leaving her hometown, no doubt about it!

With Shen Qingzhi laying down these accusations, Gu Jinrong accepted all of them. "It seems that I do bear significant responsibility. So, what do you want me to do to take responsibility, Qingqing?"

Seeing Gu Jinrong acknowledging her own faults, Shen Qingzhi spoke more confidently.

"Now that you admit it's your responsibility, during my stay at your place, you must fully respect my wishes and not let me suffer any grievances."

Gu Jinrong's face softened with a smile, "Naturally."

"Also, you need to contribute to the moving process. I can't handle all these boxes alone."

The negotiation went smoothly as Shen Qingzhi expressed her ultimate goals.

Gu Jinrong stepped forward, bending down to pick up the box that Shen Qingzhi had just put down. "Qingqing, in the future, you can directly tell me what you want me to do."

With that, Gu Jinrong carried the box and headed straight to the bedroom.

Shen Qingzhi was stunned by this sudden display of force and it seemed that she was a bit of a villain in her blaming accountability just now.

Before her thoughts could wander, Gu Jinrong had already walked out of the bedroom empty-handed.

Shen Qingzhi felt a bit embarrassed to continue being a bystander. Seeing Gu Jinrong raising her hand, she stepped forward and held onto the box with a handle.

"I don't intend to exploit you, we'll do it together."

Seeing the stubborn yet soft-hearted expression on the little rabbit's face, Gu Jinrong's lips curled slightly as she lightened the load of the box by about half.

The size of a single box, neither too big nor too small.

When one person carries it, their arms need to be spread wide. But when two people share the load, their fingers can easily touch each other.

Engaged in physical labor, Shen Qingzhi had no strength left for coquetry. Her fingers involuntarily contracted a little, but she continued to carry the box with a flushed face, matching the effort.

Although the box they were currently moving contained heavy and rigid models, Gu Jinrong felt as if softness was rippling from her fingertips to the depths of her heart.

As the last box landed in the bedroom, Shen Qingzhi, who had been assisting throughout the process, was already exhausted and panting.

On the other hand, Gu Jinrong, the main force, maintained a calm expression and didn't even break a sweat.

Shen Qingzhi had initially planned to collapse on the ground, but she didn't want to appear too weak. While Gu Jinrong went to fetch water, she quickly opened one of the boxes and prepared to start arranging and placing things.

Having already "threatened" Gu Jinrong to exert a lot of effort earlier, she figured that now, with no more boxes to move, she could handle the organizing and placement on her own.

The room was sparsely furnished, with the most prominent piece being the wall cabinet that covered half of one wall, leaving a large empty space.

Last night, Shen Qingzhi had secretly mocked: There's not much stuff in this house, yet she bought such a large cabinet that takes up space.

Little did she know it would come in handy so soon.

She took out a figurine that was almost half her height and placed it in the largest compartment of the cabinet. After carefully arranging it, she looked at it with satisfaction.

However, as she took a closer look, she belatedly realized, "Wait, is this the master bedroom?"

Gu Jinrong handed her the glass of water. "This room gets the morning sun, and the bed is softer. You should prefer staying on this side."

That was indeed the truth. Shen Qingzhi had been pampered and never accustomed to compromising.

She took a few sips of water from the glass and pretended to be polite. "It's not very appropriate for you to give me the master bedroom, is it?"

Gu Jinrong's gaze fell on her lips, which were slightly moistened by the clear water. They were rosy and tender, resembling flower petals drenched in spring rain.

Her pretty lips moved as she spoke courteous words. However, those round, emerald eyes showed no hint of embarrassment.

Gu Jinrong curved the corners of her eyes as she locked eyes with Shen Qingzhi.

"It's only right. As long as you're happy living here. After all, you just said that I have a great responsibility since you moved here."

"Of course, if Qingqing really feel uneasy about it, the bed is big enough for two people to sleep on."

Upon hearing the latter half of the sentence, Shen Qingzhi reacted like an angry rabbit, and her ears perked up instantly.

She handed the glass, still filled with water, back to Gu Jinrong and started talking rapidly.

"It's perfectly fine, perfectly fine. I hate having someone squeeze in with me while I sleep. 

Since you're so insistent, I'll keep an eye on the master bedroom for now.

Don't worry, I won't mess up your house. I guarantee that when we get divorced and move back, not even a piece of wallpaper will be out of place."

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Gu Jinrong's expression suddenly became slightly subdued, and even her aura seemed to have subtle fluctuations.

Shen Qingzhi rubbed her fingers together, looking puzzled. She was about to say: 'Are you regretting it? Maybe I should move to the neighboring room', but the words didn't come out.

Gu Jinrong picked up the glass and finished the remaining half in one gulp, still remaining silent for a while.

Shen Qingzhi noticed the two closely stacked lip imprints on the rim of the glass, and her cheeks suddenly burned with embarrassment.

"Is there only one glass in your house?"

"I just washed one." Gu Jinrong put down the glass and sighed. "I'll go tidy up my clothes and take them to the neighboring room."

Although everything was progressing according to the agreed-upon direction between them, Shen Qingzhi suddenly felt a twinge of guilt, as if she was occupying the magpie's nest.

Especially that "magpie," who had just worked hard alongside her.

Shen Qingzhi considered herself to have a conscience. Even if she felt that she and Gu Jinrong were not on good terms, the fact remained that she had received significant help from her.

Gu Jinrong had willingly given up the room, which would have been a perfect marriage prospect for her parents, and had even helped with the move.

Even if that person had many shortcomings in the past, she hadn't done anything to deserve ill will now.

Well, they would have to live under the same roof for a long time to come, so they better get along well.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Qingzhi reached into her pocket, pulled out a lollipop, and placed it in Gu Jinrong's palm.

"You've worked hard, and... thank you."
