IBTSOME Chapter 51 Part 2: Goddess

I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 51 Part 2: Goddess

 

^^

 

Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan were walking on the ring corridor. Today, the sky was gray again, when they were only halfway, there was snow again.

 

"Wangye, you don't have to go to the government office from today? You don't have to get up early to go to court tomorrow?"

 

"Yes."

 

"Really?" Lin Wei Xi was very suspicious. Gu Hui Yan was very busy every day. Even Lin Wei Xi could only see him after dark, and before she woke up the next day, Gu Hui Yan already went out again. Suddenly learning that Gu Hui Yan would stay in the mansion from today to the fifteenth next year, Lin Wei Xi was very skeptical, always suspicious that Yan Wang would be called away in the next moment.

 

Gu Hui Yan laughed and said, "Of course it's true. These few days I'm busy with outside affairs and neglect the family affairs, now I can accompany you properly in these few days."

 

Although Lin Wei Xi did not completely believe it, there was already a smile in her eyes. It had just snowed last night, although the path had been cleared, but there was still a thick layer of snow in the woodland. A gust of wind blew, and a drop of snow fell on Lin Wei Xi’s forehead. Lin Wei Xi reached out her hand, and looked up at the white sky: "It’s snowing."

 

Gu Hui Yan followed in looking out and then stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak around Lin Wei Xi's neck: "The wind is strong outside, be careful of the cold."

 

Lin Wei Xi glared at Gu Hui Yan unconvincedly: "I'm not a kid, how come I can't even do this kind of thing? Don't always treat me like a kid."

 

Gu Hui Yan smiled and fastened her laces, and said, "All right."

 

Lin Wei Xi looked outwards, her eyes were full of crystal clear snow. Just so happened in that place there were steps to go down, and could go straight to the snow outside. Lin Wei Xi simply abandoned the maids and Gu Hui Yan, and ran to the spotless snow, while stepping on the snow she made a lot of footprints. She turned around and looked at Gu Hui Yan with a smile: "Wangye, look, it's snowing!"

 

Gu Hui Yan stood on the dark wood winding corridor, watching Lin Wei Xi's actions with a smile. Still said that she was not a child, already an adult, yet childishly stepped on the snow. Suddenly Gu Hui Yan's eyes moved. He was about to say something, but it was too late. Perhaps because it couldn’t bear a heavy load, or perhaps because it was startled by Lin Wei Xi's voice, a bent pine branch shook and suddenly bounced back, shaking the soft white snow on the tree below, just happened to hit Lin Wei Xi's head.

 

Lin Wei Xi was caught off guard by the pile of snow dropped down on her head. She didn't wear a hood because it was inconvenient. Now the fresh snow happened to fell into her neck. It was extremely cold when the snow fell on the back of her neck. Lin Wei Xi said "Ah" and hurriedly shook the snow on her head.

 

The people in the corridor did not dare to laugh, but Gu Hui Yan couldn't help but laughed lightly. He walked to Lin Wei Xi, and while chuckling, he brushed the snowflakes off her head: "And you said that you are not a child, what about now?"

 

Lin Wei Xi was irritated all over her body. She quickly shook off the loose snow on the back collar. When she heard Gu Hui Yan's words, she was really angry and aggrieved: "How could I know this kind of thing will happened, by chance a pile of snow fell down and it fell on my head."

 

Gu Hui Yan couldn't help but laugh again, it was rare for him to be so open, and his eyes were filled with undisguised smiles. He lowered his head slightly and carefully brushed away pieces of snow on Lin Wei Xi's black hair.

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue were very perceptive. They stepped forward and handed Lin Wei Xi a new hand stove, and then retreated, even stopping the other maids, not allowing them to disturb Wangye and Wangfei. Gu Hui Yan lowered his eyes slightly and patted the snow on Lin Wei Xi's body. From the side, still could see the smile on his face. Lin Wei Xi hugged the stove, her cheeks were red, her expression was not very happy.

 

Lin Wei Xi's neck was surrounded by fluffy white hairs, which made her skin looks translucent and her facial features brilliant. When she stood among the flawless snow and the black branches dripping water, she became more stunning and pure, like a goddess who had fallen into the world. And Gu Hui Yan's face was very handsome, although he was smiling, but the action of patting the snow on the woman was particularly delicate and gentle. Such a picture reflected in the eyes, and anyone who saw it had to praise it as immortal couple.

 

Gu Cheng Yao stood at the corner of another corridor and came to see this scene. It was the first time he saw Lin Wei Xi with such vivid expression, and also the first time he saw his father with gentle eyes. The two people looked very well matched, his footsteps could not help but stop. For a while he didn’t know whether he should brazenly walk out like it was nothing, or he should pretend not to see and retreat.

 

Gu Cheng Yao didn't hesitate for long. Wan Yue, who was on the opposite side had good eyes, already seen him: "Shizi?"

 

Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan both raised their head and looked in this direction. Gu Cheng Yao had no choice but to take two steps forward, completely exposed to everyone's sight: "Father, mother."

 

Gu Hui Yan saw that it was Gu Cheng Yao, just nodded indifferently, and then continued to lower his head to clean the snow on Lin Wei Xi's collar. The smile on Lin Wei Xi's face quickly disappeared. She looked dignified and alienated, nodded to Gu Cheng Yao: "Shizi."

 

As if only in a flash, Lin Wei Xi was restored from the lively beauty to an aloof, dignified and indifferent stepmother. Gu Cheng Yao didn't know what he was feeling in his heart or why. His eyes accurately captured many details. For example, his father's one hand was picking the snow on Lin Wei Xi's head, and the other hand still fell on Lin Wei Xi's waist. The distance between the two of them was extremely close, and Lin Wei Xi was very calm at this level of touch, without any discomfort.

 

Gu Cheng Yao's eyes turned around unobtrusively. Lin Wei Xi originally greeted Gu Cheng Yao very formally, and suddenly felt a pain on the top of her head. She covered her hair and raised her head painfully to complain: "Wangye, you just grabbed my hair!"

 

"Really? I didn't pay attention." Gu Hui Yan withdrew his hand calmly, as if it was a momentary mistake. He looked at Lin Wei Xi's watery eyes that was caused by the pain, and felt a little uncomfortable. He rubbed the place where Lin Wei Xi was pulled, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"


TN: Did GHY pulled LWX's hair because she greeted GCY?! The smell of vinegar is particularly strong...

  2. I mean I guess if you look at it in GCY's perspective, watching the father you thought was very in love with you mother acting like that with a woman not her, you'd be shocked to the core too. If I was in his shoes tbh, (the whole parent remarries another after one parent died or something), I'd probable question if all the love my parent showed to my other parent was false and if given the chance, would they choose them again or just choose the new one, like that you know. IDK honestly because I haven't experienced it (I hope not), but I know there are a lot of people in the world that experiences this and my heart just goes to those who are and still aching.

    1. GCY is a married now. A level of rationality is expected. I could understand if he was single digit years.

      Too much brainwashing by those old maids...

      Delete
    2. the ML married after many years of being alone that proof how his father felt about his mother
      unlike him who married immediately after on month of his wife death🙄

      Delete
    3. I agree with @Moose and @lightmoon22...he's already old and even already remarried a 2nd wife only 1-2 months after the 1st wife died. It's childish and unfair for his father to be lonely after 10 years tho especially in ancient times where connections & heirs were put utmost important.

    4. lightmoon22 had exactly hit the mark. His father only remarry a decade after his wife's death. Someone like him who didn'T even wait until until the mourning period over has absolutely no right to critisize.
      Mourning for a wife is not even that long but he couldn't wait. He was really presumptuous.

  9. I'm a bit torn about Yan Wang. I like how he always supports LWX and how he treats her but his aloof and indifferent attitude to GCY annoys me. He had very little interaction with his son growing up, basically leaving him to be raised among petty and self serving servants (Yes I know he was fighting for the country but this is his son, he should've cared a bit more). I'm not defending GCY, he was completely wrong and his treatment of Gao Xi was awful but Yan Wang is at faul too. Had GCY seen more of his father and received better guidance maybe he wouldn't have fallen for those servant's words believing they were in his best interest.

    1. Maybe Yan Wang don't really like the mother that is why he is not very caring to the son.

  10. I mean the kid did fuck his wife and in her heart of hearts there's still something there in mc I'm sure, she did love him for a long time and her current hate comes from neglected love.

    If she was indifferent it'd be one thing but her hatred does tell there's a little something at the bottom of her heart, obviously she loves ML and all now and she's such a virtuous woman, but well I'm sure she wants to just scream out why didn't he love her before and let her die.
