Chapter 72 Extra: Love is a Long Road

It took Gu Tingchuan’s nearly a year and a half to film Anthology of Life. Since Yi Ran personally teamed up with him to complete the film, she spent most of her time with him and his group. When they finally returned home, they had their second wedding in Hawaii.

Life gradually returned to its normal rhythm, and Mrs. Gu returned to teaching.

As for why Yi Ran decided to go back, it was because she wanted to work as a teacher for a few more years while she was still young. For this decision, her fellow teacher friends toasted her with an evening cup of wine.

It didn’t take too long after their marriage for Mrs. Gu to become spoiled and proud. Whether at home or in front of Director Gu, she became increasingly lawless.

For example, one day, Director Gu had to film a movie and wasn’t able to return home until deep into the middle of the night. He was expecting his wife to eagerly hug him but, instead, he found Mrs. Gu playing happily in front of the computer. She didn’t even pay him any attention at all.

…What happened to being gentle and considerate and loving?

This was not the most important thing. After discovering this situation several times, Gu Tingchuan lectured her seriously, “Don’t always stay up late. Wasn’t this what you told me before?”

Yi Ran felt that she shouldn’t be at fault here. Who let this new online game be too easy and addicting? It was simply poisonous!

“Before, you were overworked. As for me, it is only because this game was too exciting. It’s different.”

Gu Tingchuan rubbed his eyebrows, holding back the words he wanted to say. Yi Ran only continued to stare at the computer screen without looking back, her two hands flying on the keyboard, and he knew that even if he said too much, his words would be regarded as wind.

During the next day, Director Gu personally cooked a table full of food and had dinner with Yi Ran.

He moved his chopsticks over to give her some food and said as mildly as possible, “When did you sleep last night? Haven’t I said that you’re not allowed to play so late into the night?”

She was usually fine when he’s home at night, but as long as he was away for long, she would just stay up all night and play games.

Yi Ran only said, “Oh,” stuck out her tongue impishly at him, and continued to enjoy a delicious dinner. After eating, she sat on the sofa and brushed Weibo with her legs crossed. Gu Tingchuan cleaned up the table, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and came out to see this scene. He couldn’t help but have some inexplicable thoughts.

“Yi Ran, let’s go for a run.”

“Ah? But I have an appointment with my friends, and they’ll be waiting.”

Gu Tingchuan’s expression seemed calm and quiet at first glance, but it was like the peace before the storm.

Sure enough, there was a sudden glint in his eyes and he issued an “Emperor’s Order” to her, “Teacher Yi, I’m going to confiscate your phone, and I’ll unplug the network cable at 8 o’clock sharp, regardless of whether you’re ready or not.” .

Yi Ran’s parents hadn’t done this to her since she was a child, but now this man suddenly came up with such a trick. She’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She exclaimed, “What? Why are you doing this?”

As he began unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt, his low, clear voice sounded lazily in the quiet living room, “You have gone too far. ”

“You weren’t like this before. You shouldn’t interfere with my personal life!”

Gu Tingchuan looked down at her, “You weren’t like this before either. You were very accommodating with me.”

Yi Ran raised an eyebrow and immediately showed her fighting value. Even up til now, she had accommodated him.

“Gu Tingchuan, do you know that you also have very bad habits? Every time you eat, drink, and do things, do you know how many times I’ve cleaned up after you? But, did I ever complain to you?”

Gu Tingchuan froze, surprised by how quick she took to respond. While he wasn’t paying attention, she suddenly took the topic in another direction.

“Also, you used to eat anything I cooked, saying how good it was. But now, you’ve completely exposed your picky habits. Do you know how many eggplants I just ate in order not to waste food?”

Director Gu was speechless but still stood by his righteous words. “These are two different things. You’re forcing words and twisting logic. Shouldn’t you pay attention to the truth of my words instead?”

When Yi Ran heard this, she remembered that Gu Tingchuan was someone with a careful and precise temperament. He loved nothing more than making logical arguments and could go on and on about it.

“I understand the logic of your arguments many times, but I just don’t want to hear them.”

There was a saying: There’s no need to reason things out with a wife. Just love them, buy them things, and tell them they’re thin enough. These three points would be sufficient.

Gu Tingchuan calmly took a deep breath, feeling both amused and helpless at the same time. “Do you realize that each time you get mad like this, I have to remind myself that Mrs. Gu is the person I dote on the most?”

“You… You…!” Yi Ran was speechless. She grabbed the cushion on the sofa and threw it at him. “Okay, very good! Let’s continue to hurt each other!”

Gu Tingchuan was too lazy to reason with her. As he got up, he undid the last remaining buttons on his shirt. There was a sharp oppression in his eyebrows as he said, “I have no time to quarrel with you. It’s a waste of time.”

With that, he walked back to the bedroom and said, “Come in! ”

Yi Ran: “….”

She pursed her lips and shouted back, “I won’t come in!”

After a moment, she looked up and saw Gu Tingchuan standing by the door. His figure was quiet and peaceful, but his eyes had a warning glint.

Feeling panicked, Yi Ran reluctantly removed her butt off from the sofa and went over to him.

As a result, as soon as she came to the door, he suddenly leaned over and hugged her.

Before Yi Ran could react, she was already taken directly to bed. Gu Tingchuan immediately pressed her down and said with a restrained smile, “I have to teach you a lesson.”

He yanked Yi Ran’s blouse open, suddenly revealing her pale skin. The man’s action was so fast that Yi Ran’s face flushed red.
