Mistakenly Took a Crazy-Beautiful, Baiting Omega for My Wife 50

Chapter 50

Hearing Su Guan promise a date, Fang Jinyue on the other end of the line was taken aback and subconsciously asked, “How have you been these past few days? Did something happen? Can’t you come back these next few days?”

Her mom was still so concerned about her.

Even though Su Guan had promised to come back, it wasn’t enough. She still hoped she could come back sooner.

Su Guan’s heart softened, and she comforted her, “I’ve been a little busy these past few days. I’ll come see you after this period. Don’t worry, Mom.”

She said she was busy, but her daughter still hadn’t told her what it was.

Fang Jinyue was about to ask, but her daughter started talking on her own.

“By the way, Mom, I haven’t been in touch with you much these past few days. How have you been at home? What about Mother? Is Mother still staying at home?” When she mentioned Su Yaying, Su Guan’s questions came out like a string of firecrackers. “Did Mother make you do anything? Or did she go do something?”

Su Guan had only taken a trip to Lichi before, and it couldn’t be said that she had come back empty-handed—regarding Lichi, the first thing Su Guan thought of was not the baseless rumors, nor the mansion that showed few signs of being lived in, but the scolding Su Yaying had given her over the phone afterward.

Su Guan was now very cautious about her mother’s affairs.

Her mother had also always arbitrarily believed that her daughter’s life would not be good.

The more she looked down on her, the more Su Guan wanted her mother’s approval, even prioritizing this matter over the tasks the system required her to do.

When Su Yaying was mentioned, Fang Jinyue on the other end also started to stammer. She said, “I’m fine. Mommy and Mother are doing well.”

How can a stammer be “well”?

“Are you well?”

It didn’t sound like it to Su Guan.

Fang Jinyue quickly wanted to change the subject, but Su Guan persistently asked again, wanting to know where her mother was now.

“I see, Mom. I promised you I would come back. I’m doing well here. I’ve run into some unpleasant things at work recently, but it will be resolved soon… But, you just missed one of my questions. Is Mother at home now?”

Su Guan’s tone was sincere and gentle. Although she sounded easy to talk to, there was no room for rebuttal.

Fang Jinyue had tried to change the subject several times, but Su Guan was stuck on this topic, and she couldn’t do anything about it.

Marriage really could bring such a big change to an Alpha.

Her daughter, who had always been reserved and gentle under her influence, had actually become like this.

This surprised Fang Jinyue a little.

“Mother, your mother hasn’t been at home these past few days,” Fang Jinyue hesitated for a moment, then told Su Guan the truth. “But, according to her usual routine, she should be coming home now, so I thought I’d give you a call today…”

Su Guan understood Fang Jinyue’s words.

So Su Yaying hadn’t been at home these past few days, and Fang Jinyue didn’t know her specific whereabouts or when she should be back—if her mom knew when her mother would be back, how could she answer her with such ambiguous words?

She had even used the word “routine.”

It was probably a routine that had been summarized after days and days of waiting.

Her mom was still the same, unchanged.

“Alright, Mom,” Su Guan picked up where Fang Jinyue left off. “I’ll be back when the time comes. As for these few days that Mother isn’t at home, you shouldn’t just stay at home and be idle… there are plenty of fun places to go.”

She couldn’t just stay at home and be a resentful wife, right?

Who knew what else Su Yaying was up to outside?

“Okay, okay, Guan-guan, Mom is relieved that you’re so concerned about me…” Fang Jinyue on the other end seemed very happy. She continued, “But, if Mother comes back early, I’ll tell you, and you can come back early too, okay?”

“Our family of three, we still have to be harmonious.”

Su Guan suppressed her discomfort. She felt that it was difficult to persuade her A-mom over the phone—some things had to be explained in person, and with facts and reason.

She could reason with her A-mom, but the facts were not yet sufficient—her marriage with Gu Yixi was not yet happy enough to be a fact.

She could only appease her A-mom for now. It was useless to say more.

Su Guan had been about to hang up, but Fang Jinyue, as if she had thought of something, took the initiative to start another topic. “Guan-guan, I think I just heard you say something about a problem at work… What problem? Are you unhappy at work?”

“If you’re unhappy at work, just take a few days off and rest at home.”

Su Guan said casually, “I’m already resting at home. It’s nothing serious. You don’t have to worry, Mom.”

“So what is it?” Fang Jinyue seized the key point and kept asking.

“It’s nothing,” Su Guan answered very decisively, wanting to hang up the phone directly. “Mom, I have something to do here. My wife is calling me. I’m hanging up now.”

A “beep, beep, beep” sound soon came from the other end of the line.

Fang Jinyue held her phone, her expression a little complicated.

Auntie Mei was standing by the side. Because the Mrs. had put the call on speaker, and she had just happened to pass by, she had heard the Eldest Miss’s last sentence.

The Mrs. didn’t say anything. Instead, Auntie Mei was the first to smile. “Mrs., congratulations! It hasn’t even been a month or two, and the Eldest Miss’s married life is going quite well.”

Of course, it was going well.

But there was no smile on Fang Jinyue’s face. Instead, she looked at Auntie Mei thoughtfully. “Well, they’ve just gotten married. It’s normal for them to be sweet during the honeymoon period.”

Auntie Mei didn’t understand why the Mrs.’s reaction was like this. She could only smile awkwardly and say her piece. “Yes, yes, after all, it’s in front of an elder. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to say such an intimate form of address.”

The intimate form of address, of course, referred to “wife.”

…

Su Guan admitted that she had only called Gu Yixi “wife” in front of Fang Jinyue to hang up as soon as possible.

She just wanted to create a false impression, to let her mom know that her relationship with Gu Yixi was indeed good.

Unfortunately, her mother wasn’t there. If she had heard it, the effect would have been even better.

Su Guan swore that she had only had this one thought—after all, she didn’t dare to call her that to Gu Yixi’s face.

Although it was a common form of address, it always felt a little shameful to say it, as if she had directly pierced that layer of ambiguous window paper.

Su Guan had just put down her phone with a sigh of relief when she turned around and found someone standing behind her!

There were only two people in this house, her and Gu Yixi.

Who else could it be but Gu Yixi?

Su Guan took a breath, her expression changed, and she stammered, wanting to say something, but she was met with Gu Yixi’s playful and scrutinizing gaze.

The meaning in her eyes was as clear and direct as it could be.

!!!

Seeing her “I-get-it” expression, the heart that had been hanging in Su Guan’s throat finally died.

If Gu Yixi had looked confused or serious, she could have told herself that Gu Yixi hadn’t heard, that Gu Yixi was just passing by.

But Gu Yixi’s eyes clearly showed that she had heard everything.

She knew everything.

…Heavens!

Su Guan felt that she was truly wronged.

That “So, our Guan-guan…” Gu Yixi’s eyes curved, a smile also on her lips. She naturally moved closer to Su Guan’s face and smiled. “Although you’re still so serious when you’re marking.”

To her shame, Gu Yixi had actually thought it was due to her lack of charm—she had even done some research for this and had been struggling with how to use it recently.

“Today, I’ve discovered something different. You’re serious, but it turns out you’re only serious with me?” When she smiled, her eyes were bright, like the proud expression she had when she succeeded in the business world. “In private, you don’t even forget to call me that when you’re on the phone with your mother?”

For a person like Gu Yixi, praise was necessary, so her reaction after a setback would also be very obvious.

When Su Guan had shown no interest in her, Gu Yixi had indeed felt quite hurt.

But this sudden, unexpected gain had swept away her previous unhappiness.
…Hearing someone praise you behind your back is much more valuable than being praised to your face.

Su Guan was now in a position where she couldn’t clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Gu Yixi’s face moved closer, and the small hairs on her face could be seen clearly. The warm breath from her lips also gradually came closer.

“Is this how you say it?” Gu Yixi moved a little closer, her lips just by Su Guan’s ear, and she repeated what Su Guan had just said on the phone with a light laugh. “—Wife?”

The two short words, when spoken from her mouth, seemed to have a temperature, instantly burning half of Su Guan’s cheek.

It was hard to tell if she was repeating Su Guan’s words, or if she was calling Su Guan that.

Or perhaps, both.

Su Guan awkwardly looked away, her cheeks flushed, and she stammered for a long time, unable to say a word.

Gu Yixi, on the other hand, looked at her with an amused expression.

She began to feel proud, her chin lifted as she looked at Su Guan, not hiding her smug expression at all.

Why could this woman’s expression be written all over her face?

That expression was completely saying, “I’ve seen through your disguise.”

Su Guan had been thinking about how to explain, but now seeing Gu Yixi’s expression, she suddenly didn’t want to explain anymore—was there any room for explanation?

But Su Guan still wanted to struggle a little. “I was just on the phone with my mom. I remembered I had something to do here, so I just told her…”

Gu Yixi raised an eyebrow and nodded lightly. “That’s right, you have something to do. Didn’t you just tell her? You have something to do with your wife, isn’t that right?”

Su Guan was speechless.

Seeing her with her chin lifted now, Su Guan had no heart to refute.

This was the first time she had seen such an expression on Gu Yixi’s face.

Smug and spoiled, as if she had been pampered.

So Su Guan gave a heavy “mm” and went along with her.
“Yes, that’s right.”

Besides listening to her, what else could she do?
