President Secretary Sweet Wife

In the evening, Ding Ning took Xiao Nian home. He seemed to have lost his soul, with his mind in a mess and no clue at all.

Gu Shengtang called back and said he would be home for dinner in the evening.

In fact, he was a little worried. Ding Ning's distraught look at the company gate today had been lingering in his mind all day, which made him very concerned, so he postponed the dinner appointment.

Because they had to come back for dinner at short notice, the maid had already gone home from get off work, so Ding Ning went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

I took a steak out of the refrigerator and prepared to braise it.

While cutting the meat with his hands, Ji Yanran's words kept repeating in his mind.

"Ding Ning, you are amazing! You can't even protect your own child, and you still have the nerve to stand here."

"As a mother, you are so useless at the critical moment. Xiao Nian must be so disappointed."

"I sincerely advise you to think carefully about what you can do to benefit Sheng Tang and the child. You should do everything within your ability and don't be greedy for a position that doesn't belong to you!"

While I was daydreaming, I suddenly felt a piercing pain between my fingers. I lowered my head and saw blood gushing out from my fingers.

Ding Ning seemed to feel no pain and just stared blankly at the blood that kept flowing.

Her thoughts were still immersed in Ji Yanran's words. Those harsh words were like sharp blades, repeatedly cutting her heart.

In a trance, Gu Shengtang strode in and grabbed her hand.

He knitted his brows tightly together and said coldly, "Why are you so careless? Just bear with the pain and I'll bandage you!"

Ding Ning seemed to feel no pain at all. He stood there blankly with empty eyes.

Gu Shengtang couldn't help but sigh softly. He pulled Ding Ning to sit in the living room, and took out a medicine box to bandage the wound on her hand.

The kitchen knife used was an excellent German-imported kitchen utensil, extremely sharp. The deep wound on Ding Ning's finger was shocking.

"It's no good. We have to go to the hospital for treatment."

Gu Shengtang's brows furrowed even tighter, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

He was annoyed by the little woman in front of him. She seemed to never know how to protect herself and always got herself bruised and battered when he wasn't looking.

"No~"

Ding Ning walked a few steps in a daze, but suddenly stopped, "I'm not going anywhere!"

Gu Shengtang looked at her. A look of panic appeared on her face and tears in her eyes rolled down like beads from a broken string.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Shengtang pulled her in front of him, put his arms around her waist, and his tone unconsciously became gentle.

He couldn't bear to see her cry, as those tears seemed to fall into his heart.

Ding Ning raised her head, and through her tearful eyes, she looked hesitantly at the man in front of her.

She suddenly hugged his strong waist, buried her face in his waist, greedily absorbing the warmth and breath from his body.

"Shengtang... I'm scared... I'm really scared..."

Her voice was crying and trembling, as if a wounded animal was seeking shelter.

Gu Shengtang's heart softened, and he hugged her tighter with both hands, and asked softly, "What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ding Ning sobbed and said, "I'm afraid of losing you... I'm afraid that I really can't do anything well... I'm afraid that I will become a burden to you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my wife, Gu Shengtang, and the mother of my child. How can you become a burden to me?"

Ding Ning only felt a dull pain in his chest, as if something was blocking it.

She is his wife and the mother of his children, so he will protect herself and not let others hurt her.

But what she hoped even more was that he did all this for just one reason, which was because he loved her.

Gu Shengtang never said he loved himself.

She raised her wet eyes and looked at the man in front of her, looking at his handsome nose, thin lips, and well-defined jaw.

She suddenly realized sadly that she had already fallen deeply in love with him without realizing it and could not live without him.

Ding Ning wiped her tears and said, "What's wrong with me? Why am I so emotional? You must be hungry. I'll go make you something to eat."

Gu Shengtang grabbed her and looked at her pale face with a scrutinizing gaze. "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Ning hid the sadness in his eyes, smiled and shook his head.

"Women get a little emotional a few days every month. Don't you understand that?"

"Isn't it your period yet?"

Gu Shengtang expressed his doubts. He had a very good memory and although he didn't try to remember it, he still remembered accurately that her menstrual period was in the middle of the month.

"Uh~" Ding Ning blushed and tried to explain, "It's normal to have mood swings when your period is about to start."

Gu Shengtang sighed almost imperceptibly, "Okay, even if what you said is true, the wound on your hand is too big, you must go to the hospital."

Ding Ning shook his hand, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

"I'll listen to you at other times, but today, please listen to me, okay? I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to have a good meal with you and Xiao Nian."

She really wanted to ask Gu Shengtang what his plans were for their relationship, but every time the words came to her lips, she was afraid that after asking, she would get an answer that she could not bear.

After the meal was ready, the family of three sat around the dining table and started eating.

Ding Ning picked up the food silently, the taste was like chewing wax, and every bite seemed like he was swallowing his sorrow with difficulty.

Her mind was filled with thoughts. Ji Yanran's sarcasm towards her in the afternoon was like a sharp knife, constantly stabbing her heart.

She increasingly felt that she had not done well enough in many aspects, especially in protecting Xiao Nian. Her sense of powerlessness and frustration made her deeply doubt whether she was really qualified to stay with Gu Shengtang and whether she could be a qualified partner and mother.

Gu Shengtang noticed Ding Ning's strangeness and put down his chopsticks.

"Ding Ning, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Ding Ning quickly forced a smile to hide his inner panic: "No, nothing, let's eat."

Xiao Nian also blinked her innocent eyes and looked at her mother, "Mom, are you unhappy?"

Ding Ning touched Xiao Nian's head and tried to make himself look normal, not wanting the child to notice that there was something wrong with him.

The meal was eaten in exceptional silence, with only the sound of chewing and the clinking of cutlery.

After dinner, Ding Ning quietly cleaned the table, put the dishes into the sink, and washed them mechanically.

Looking at the happy look on Gu Shengtang's face when he took Xiao Nian to play with toys in the living room.

She just felt more and more melancholy in her heart.

In this family, it seems that the only things she can do are cooking and washing dishes. Apart from these, she can't do anything else.

These things could be done well by even a servant, so it was not necessary for her to do them.
