After Time Traveling, I was Forced to Marry a Wealthy Family - Chapter 69

Li Chi unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Mu Ci first, “Do you want to drink it?”

Mu Ci hesitated for a moment and shook his head, “No, Gu Huai won’t allow it. I can’t drink this kind of drink.”

Gu Huai gave Mu Ci a lot of restrictions. In terms of drinks alone, there were many rules. He was only allowed to drink freshly squeezed juice, coffee and tea, branded milk or yogurt from the family chef, as well as low-alcohol sweet wine. Mu Ci couldn’t touch carbonated drinks in dazzling packaging, high-alcohol wine, or those drinks.

Li Chi couldn’t help but clicked his tongue, “Why?”

“He said that carbonated drinks are bad for our health… You should drink less; you are still growing.”

Li Chi dismissed it, “Then why is there still Coke in the refrigerator? ”

Mu Ci explained in a good-tempered way: “That was bought by Bai Ling. He likes to drink it.”

“Since Brother Bai likes to drink it, isn’t he also quite healthy? I feel like Gu Huai cares too much and deliberately suppresses you.”

Mu Ci was speechless for a moment. To be honest, he himself was occasionally dissatisfied with Gu Huai’s many ‘strict’ disciplines. After all, he was an adult man and did not like to be pressured by others for everything.

Li Chi simply took a cup and gave Mu Ci half a bottle of Coke, and encouraged: “Come and try it, it tastes good.”

He liked to do things that was forbidden behind Gu Huai and Mu Ci’s back. He hoped Mu Ci could “share the same enemy” with him, which would make him feel a sense of belonging, as if he would be closer to Mu Ci and be able to get involved in the close relationship between Mu Ci and Gu Huai.

Mu Ci looked at the drinks on the table, then nervously looked back to see if Gu Huai was there, then picked up the cup and took a few sips.

The iced cola was sweet, refreshing, and a little stimulating. Mu Ci smiled and said to Li Chi, “It tastes good. I like the taste.”

Li Chi smiled proudly, “Of course, Gu Huai is too stingy. If you make a fuss out of a molehill, you will miss out on a lot of good things.”

“He is also doing it for my own good…” Mu Ci smiled helplessly, “We have had many things happen before, and he was always afraid that something would happen to me.”

When mentioning the past, Li Chi’s face was obviously ugly. In the past, it was full of a story about Mu Ci and Gu Huai, and there was absolutely no place for Li Chi in it.

Mu Ci also noticed it, so he thoughtfully changed the topic and asked about his studies. Li Chi was smart, and academic matters were basically not difficult for him, so he and Mu Ci talked enthusiastically.

.

Twenty minutes later, Mu Ci heard the sound of the door opening behind him. He turned around and smiled, “Why are you back so early today?”

“Of course, I missed you. I’ll go back as soon as the meeting is over,” Gu Huai teased him as always. When he walked in and saw the cup in his hand, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

He reached out and took Mu Ci’s cup. There was still a little coke left in it, and the wall of the cup was still slightly cold. “Aren’t you not allowed to drink these things? It’s also cold drink. Don’t you know you have a bad stomach?”

Mu Ci felt guilty. He quickly promised: “I just drank a little, and I will never touch it next time.”

His attitude in admitting his mistake was so good that Gu Huai couldn’t bear to reprimand him anymore, so he had to twist Mu Ci’s face and warned him carefully: “No next time, let the chef make whatever you want to drink, okay? There are so many additives in those drinks outside, which are not good for your health.”

Mu Ci knew that Gu Huai would nag him non-stop whenever he encountered something. He nodded quickly to show that he understood clearly.

Gu Huai kissed him with satisfaction and praised: “My wife is so good.”

He was about to take Mu Ci upstairs when he suddenly heard Li Chi say lukewarmly from the side: “You are too much.”

This sentence ignited Gu Huai’s fire. He turned around and glanced at Li Chi, and said coldly: “I haven’t settled the score with you yet. Don’t encourage him to try these messy things in the future. Let him drink this today. Are you going to take him to a nightclub tomorrow for a cold drink?”

Mu Ci saw that he was really angry and quickly stood up and pulled him, “Gu Huai, don’t be like this, this matter today is nothing…”

“It’s not just because of this.” Gu Huai pulled his hand away and looked at Li Chi, “I don’t understand where I provoked you. You are so hateful to me, but why are you so attentive to my wife?”

Mu Ci was surprised. He knew that the relationship between Li Chi and Gu Huai had been tense these days. He originally thought that Gu Huai would not care about it, after all, Li Chi just moved in here and felt insecure, a fight between them would happen once or twice. But now it seemed that there was something inherently wrong between Gu Huai and Li Chi.

Why? Mu Ci thought the two of them had very similar personalities, it should be easy to cultivate friendship, right?

Li Chi also stood up suddenly and glared at Gu Huai without showing any signs of weakness. He was already very tall at only thirteen years old, only half a head shorter than Gu Huai, and he was as menacing as a little wolf.

“Because I don’t think you are a good person!” Li Chi stared at Gu Huai and said bluntly, “You are just like those gangsters who came to my house to beat people before! You are a bad person!”

Gu Huai simply wanted to laugh angrily, “Am I a bad person? I provide you with food, clothing, and schooling? Do you still think I am a bad person?”

“I have heard about what happened between you and Mu Ci before.” Li Chi’s eyes were fierce, “You are crueler than the underworld, you are not worthy of him at all!”

“Xiao Chi!” Mu Ci hurriedly spoke to stop him, but it was already too late. Gu Huai didn’t like others mentioning the bad things he had done in the past. Even though Li Chi was still a child, his words really offended him.

Gu Huai grinded his teeth and sneered fiercely, “I’m not worthy of him? Then who do you think you are, a bastard who has a mother but no father!”
