There was no response from inside, so Jin Mingzhu knocked a few more times and the door opened.

The room was in a mess, with red wine bottles scattered everywhere. Gu Huaijin sat on the ground in a dejected manner, with messy hair and a look no longer as charming as before.

Seeing Jin Mingzhu coming, he asked:

"Has the wound been treated?"

Jin Mingzhu nodded and responded:

"It's taken care of. It's fine."

Gu Huaijin lifted her nightgown slightly, and seeing that it was handled, he felt relieved, but then he felt guilty:

"Honey, I'm sorry for hurting you."

Jin Mingzhu shook his head and said:

"It's okay. I know you were very angry at that time and couldn't control yourself."

When talking about this topic, Gu Huaijin fell silent. Jin Mingzhu sat down beside him, without saying a word, just quietly accompanying him.

After a long while, Gu Huaijin spoke softly:

"As far as I can remember, my parents' relationship has never been very good. They often quarreled. My father often left my mother and ran away. My mother even asked me to kneel down and beg my father not to go find that woman."

Upon hearing this, Jin Mingzhu suddenly felt a little sympathy for Gu Huaijin. Such a young child had become a tool in the hands of his mother to threaten his father.

"I remember one time, my father was going out to look for that woman again. My mother forced me to kneel down and beg my father in front of everyone. I refused. My mother took a cane and beat me. While beating me, she asked me why I refused to kneel."

Jin Mingzhu reached out and touched Gu Huaijin's shoulder. Gu Huaijin put his hand on her and said softly:

"It's okay. It's been so many years. It's long gone."

"Afterwards, my mother kept beating me. I gritted my teeth and refused to beg for mercy. My mother looked at my scarred back and couldn't bear it. She threw away the cane and hugged me and cried together."

"Were you very sad at that time?" Jin Mingzhu looked at him and asked worriedly.

"Yes, I was only eight or nine years old at that time, and there were many such scenes. My father also changed from trying to stop me to being indifferent and just let my mother beat me."

Gu Huaijin sighed and spoke in a calm tone:

"Later, I gradually accepted the fact that my parents didn't love me. I thought that forbearance could bring harmony to the family. But my father was so shameless that he wanted to bring that woman and the bastard back home, forcing my mother to accept them and to include the bastard in the Gu family tree."

Gu Huaijin's tone gradually became stern:

"I refused to agree to it, and had a conflict with my father. I left for a foreign country alone. During the years I was abroad, my father handed the Gu family to that bastard. Is he worthy of it?"

"The Gu family went from bad to worse under his management. I returned to China and set up a plan to force my father and grandfather to kick him out of the Gu family. Later, I became the one in charge of the Gu family. I also kicked that bastard out of the Gu family."

Jin Mingzhu asked softly:

"You must have had a hard time during those years."

Gu Huaijin seemed to be lost in deep memories. He picked up the wine bottle, took a big gulp of wine, and then smashed the bottle against the wall.

With a "pop", the wine bottle exploded on the wall, and the scarlet wine spilled everywhere.

Gu Huaijin looked at her and said in a deep voice:

"Xianxian, I also want to be as carefree as you, but I was born in the Gu family and have a father like that. I can only rely on myself and become strong to protect myself and my mother."

"When I first arrived at Gu's, a group of company veterans banded together to resist me. I set up the Shadow Pavilion, kidnapped their wives and daughters, and put guns to their heads in front of them. How could a group of old men withstand such intimidation? They quickly scattered. From then on, no one in Gu's dared to oppose me."

Seeing her frightened expression, Gu Huaijin lowered his eyes and lowered his voice:

"Nian Nian, don't leave me."

"If you left me, I don't know what terrible things I would do."

He put his arms around Jin Mingzhu's waist and held her in his arms. The small figure trembled slightly in his arms. Gu Huaijin smiled with satisfaction and kissed her on the cheek.

Jin Mingzhu broke free and sat aside, forcing herself to calm down. She glanced at the unsealed cigar on the table and asked:

"Gu Huaijin, do you still smoke?"

Gu Huaijin glanced at it and responded calmly:

"I smoke occasionally." He usually smokes when he is in a very low mood. After getting married and seeing that Jin Mingzhu doesn't like it, he smokes less.

Jin Mingzhu looked at the cigarette on the table, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and said:

“Let me try!”

Gu Huaijin stretched out his hand to push the table away and strongly refused:

"You can't touch these things."

Jin Mingzhu felt depressed after hearing this, looked at Gu Huaijin aggrievedly, and asked:

"Why can you beat me but not me?"

Gu Huaijin couldn't stand her pleading eyes, and his breathing stagnated for a moment. It reminded him of the time when Jin Mingzhu cried and begged him under him, with the same look.

He leaned towards Jin Mingzhu and whispered:

"Honey, don't look at me like that, it's too seductive."

Jin Mingzhu felt even more aggrieved after hearing this. She raised her hand and twisted Gu Huaijin's waist, saying fiercely:

"Will you give it to me? If not, I'll find it myself!"

Gu Huaijin was worried that she would learn bad things outside, and since she was right under his nose, it would be okay to give her a try. He took the cigar on the table, lit one and handed it to Jin Mingzhu:

"Be careful not to burn your hands."

Jin Mingzhu took the cigarette from him with some curiosity, and held it in her hand, looking at it again and again, imitating him.

Gu Huaijin looked at her cautious look, somewhat amused, and reminded:

"Put it in your mouth and suck it."

After hearing what he said, Jin Mingzhu put the cigar to her lips, took a puff, and found that she felt nothing.

"Xianxian, the smoke must pass through your lungs, take a deep breath."

After hearing her words, Jin Mingzhu took another puff with full force. She was caught off guard and choked by the smoke. Her mouth and nose were filled with the unpleasant smell of smoke. She felt so uncomfortable:

"Cough cough cough" kept coughing.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gu Huaijin smiled and asked:

"Honey, is smoking fun?"

Jin Mingzhu coughed uncomfortably and handed him the cigarette. Seeing her like that, Gu Huaijin patted her on the back. It took Jin Mingzhu a while to recover. She patted him and said:

"You did it on purpose!"

Gu Huaijin raised his eyebrows, chuckled softly, and said:

"But it has nothing to do with me. It was you who wanted to try it. Do you want another bite?"

Gu Huaijin picked up the cigar and handed it to her. After what she had just experienced, Jin Mingzhu was unwilling to try again and quickly waved her hand to refuse:

"I don't want it anymore! No!"

Gu Huaijin had a triumphant smile on his face. He put the cigar in his hand into his mouth, took a deep breath, and did not spit it out.

He stretched out his broad and powerful hands and forcefully turned Jin Mingzhu's head, pointed it at her lips, and passed the cigarette in his mouth to her. Jin Mingzhu kept struggling, and the smell of cigar smoke filled her mouth.

What followed was Gu Huaijin's firm and powerful kiss. He controlled Jin Mingzhu's body, not allowing her to escape, and pressed hard on her lips, a kiss full of moisture and desire.

After a long while, Jin Mingzhu pushed him away, leaned weakly on the edge of the sofa, looked at Gu Huaijin on the side, and cursed:

"You beast!"

Gu Huaijin smiled softly:

"Honey, I kissed you, but I was helping you feel the taste of the cigar. How about that? Do you still like it?"

Jin Mingzhu's eyes were full of anger, she stared at him and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for helping me stop wanting to smoke."

Gu Huaijin laughed, kissed her on the lips, and picked her up:

"You're welcome, wife, let's go back to bed."
