Gold Digger, but Forced to Marry the Big Boss Chapter 56

Chapter 56

"Xiao Wang, what are you guys doing?"

A sudden exclamation echoed in the hallway. Wang Zhi quickly turned his head and saw Aunt Zhang standing downstairs, looking at the two of them hugging with surprise.

…

Wang Zhi jumped up awkwardly and said, "Auntie, why are you back?"

"To have dinner at home." Aunt Zhang's suspicious gaze fell on Gao Bochong and then returned to Wang Zhi. "This is…"

Wang Zhi said, "This is my husband."

Aunt Zhang's voice grew louder, "You're married?!"

"Uh… I brought him back this time to meet my mom."

As Wang Zhi was speaking, Gao Bochong also stood up from the ground, bent down to brush the dust off Wang Zhi's knees, and then calmly said to Aunt Zhang, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Zhi Zhi's husband."

Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, "You… Xiao Wang, how did you get married?"

Wang Zhi laughed it off, "When you reach a certain age, you get married. Auntie, aren't you in a hurry to go home and cook? We won't disturb you."

Then he quickly opened the door and pulled Gao Bochong back into the room.

The entrance was a bit narrow, and when Wang Zhi pulled Gao Bochong, it seemed like he didn't stand firm and bumped heavily into Wang Zhi, making him exhale sharply. But he held his breath and carefully listened to the sounds outside through the door.

Aunt Zhang stood outside for a while before slowly walking down the stairs.

Only then did Wang Zhi breathe a sigh of relief.

Aunt Zhang was the biggest gossip. If she knew something, the whole building would know.

How did he get so dizzy and end up hugging Gao Bochong in the hallway?

Next to him, Gao Bochong took out slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them by Wang Zhi's feet, asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Wang Zhi, not paying attention, spoke his mind, "I should have waited to hug you at home."

Then he felt an arm wrap around his waist.

Gao Bochong smiled slightly, "Aren't we hugging now?"

It's not that he wanted to hug him… never mind.

Wang Zhi wrapped his arm around Gao Bochong's arm, signaling him to lean on him, and asked, "Does your leg hurt a lot?"

Gao Bochong was a bit surprised, "You noticed?"

For someone like Gao Bochong, who was so particular about his demeanor, he wouldn't sit on the steps waiting unless his leg hurt a lot… Of course, it could also be that he was pretending to be pitiful. But when Wang Zhi pulled him in, he could feel that his movements weren't as agile.

Wang Zhi bent down and poked Gao Bochong's knee.

Gao Bochong hissed, and Wang Zhi gloated, "I'm not an idiot. How could I not notice?"

Gao Bochong said, "I thought I hid it well."

Wang Zhi helped him to the sofa and said, "How did you get injured?"

Instead of answering, Gao Bochong reached out his hand. Wang Zhi, not understanding, placed his hand in his palm, and Gao Bochong gently pulled him into his arms, sitting him on his lap.

Wang Zhi was startled, "Hey!"

His leg!

Gao Bochong chuckled, "Don't worry, there's a steel pin. It won't break that easily."

…

It's not funny at all.

Wang Zhi said with a stern face, "Let me go."

If it were before, Wang Zhi wouldn't dare to speak to him like this, but just now… didn't Gao Bochong confess to him? So he should have some small privileges now, right?

Wang Zhi was actually very good at taking advantage of situations and being spoiled. Before, he didn't feel the affection, so he sensibly pretended to be obedient. Now that he felt Gao Bochong liked him too, he immediately stopped pretending.

Of course, if Gao Bochong got angry, he would quickly revert to his previous state.

The wise adapt to circumstances, after all. ^^

Wang Zhi secretly thought, keeping his face tight. He felt Gao Bochong glance at him and thought he was going to get angry, just about to change his tone, but then he heard Gao Bochong say, "If I let you go, will you not be mad?"

Wang Zhi sneaked a glance at Gao Bochong, trying to maintain a calm tone, "Mm."

But inside, he was overjoyed.

Wow!

Gao Bochong really became so obedient!

It's like the unruly big dog that used to charge around recklessly now not only stopped rushing but also learned to shake hands.

Wang Zhi felt a strange sense of achievement, forcing down the corners of his lips that wanted to curl up.

He couldn't let Gao Bochong see how happy he was.

The arm around his waist obediently let go, and Wang Zhi got up, sitting properly next to Gao Bochong, saying seriously, "Now can you tell me?"

Gao Bochong said, "I got a little injured before, but I'm almost recovered now."

It was clearly downplaying the situation.

Wang Zhi snorted coldly, "If you don't want to say, then forget it. I'm not that interested in hearing it."

"Really?" Gao Bochong smiled, "Wife, don't you care about your husband?"

Oh no…

Whenever Gao Bochong used this tone, Wang Zhi felt a bit uncomfortable. Even though there was no physical contact, the atmosphere between them became subtly ambiguous.

Wang Zhi's ears itched, trying hard not to be led astray by Gao Bochong, his tone still stiff, "You never tell me anything."

Still a bit angry.

Having a steel pin in his leg must mean it was a serious injury.

But he said nothing.

Thinking back, when he had a high fever, Gao Bochong was using a cane, indicating even walking was an issue. Yet every time he woke from a feverish sleep, Gao Bochong was there, nonchalantly bringing him water and helping him to the bathroom.

The more Wang Zhi thought about it, the sadder he felt. He said with a bit of grievance, "You're making me look stupid and mean, not even knowing my husband is hurt. How can you be so selfish, only being the good guy yourself? Do you think I can't take care of you?"

His tone was soft, clearly angry, but his hand clutched the corner of Gao Bochong's shirt, as if afraid he would leave.

Gao Bochong's heart melted, thinking how could anyone be so good at acting spoiled?

"Zhi Zhi…" Gao Bochong quickly held his hand, awkwardly comforting him, "I was just afraid you'd worry, not that you couldn't take care of me."

Wang Zhi said, "Mm."

Gao Bochong said, "It was that day, the mountain road was too slippery, and I was driving a bit fast. The car skidded, causing an accident, but it wasn't serious, just my leg got hurt. You see, I can walk fine now, and after a check-up in a while, I should be fully recovered."

Wang Zhi still didn't look at him, just said, "Oh."

Was the car going so fast because they had a fight?

Wang Zhi's heart clenched. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Gao Bochong say, "Zhi Zhi, I won't drive so fast again. I want to live a long life and be with you forever."

Wang Zhi's nose tingled.

He wrinkled his nose, trying to sound lighthearted, but tears fell, "I want to be with you forever too. Husband, if something had really happened to you that day, how could I forgive myself for the rest of my life?"

He threw himself into Gao Bochong's arms, and Gao Bochong hugged him. The size difference between them was significant, but it was as if they were made for each other. Gao Bochong's arms perfectly wrapped around Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi could curl up in his embrace.

Gao Bochong kissed away the tears at the corner of his eyes, promising, "I won't. But wife, if I die, all my assets will go to you."

Wang Zhi was shocked, "All of it? No… I mean, I don't want… I mean, I do want it, but can't you not die?"

Gao Bochong looked at his tightly held face and slightly upturned lips, his gaze flickering, deliberately asking, "You don't like it?"

… How could he test him like this!

Wang Zhi struggled to say, "… If I can only get it if you die, then I don't want it."

Gao Bochong immediately saw his struggle and chuckled, and Wang Zhi, annoyed by his laughter, glared at him, "You're teasing me, aren't you?"

Gao Bochong said, "Mm. I was kidding."

He knew it.

Wang Zhi felt both regret and relief.

He couldn't handle such tests. If Gao Bochong was serious, he couldn't possibly wish for his husband to die early every day, right?

But Gao Bochong said, "Even if I don't die, I'll give you the assets."

He said, taking out his phone and opening a document, "It's not printed yet, but I've already had someone draft it, transferring twelve billion worth of shares to your name. The rest will be yours after I pass away."

"Zhi Zhi." He said gently, "I don't want my departure to bring you only pain. Without love, you can use my money to live the life you want."

Wang Zhi leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, unable to imagine what his life would be like without Gao Bochong.

He would have a lot of money, but no love.

Wang Zhi took a deep breath, calmly telling Gao Bochong, "Being with you is the life I want."

He had experienced wealth, and it was wonderful, but much of that wonder came from Gao Bochong.

There might be a limit to material enjoyment, but love has none.

Wang Zhi thought he needed a lot of money to confirm love, but when he truly felt loved, money no longer mattered.

The two embraced quietly for a long time before Wang Zhi, with red eyes, said, "If something like this happens again and you hide it from me, I really won't like you anymore."

Gao Bochong said, "I promise there won't be a next time."

That's more like it.

Wang Zhi was satisfied, recalling the dog training tutorials he had seen, knowing to reward the dog when it did something right.

Wang Zhi half-kneeled on the sofa, tilted his head up, and gave Gao Bochong a peck, "No lying, you have to keep your word."

His kiss was light, like a sweet breeze brushing over the skin, leaving a warm, moist trace.

Gao Bochong held his breath, afraid that breathing too heavily would scare his wife. He placed his hand on Wang Zhi's slender waist, restraining himself from pulling Wang Zhi into his arms and deepening the kiss.

After the kiss, Wang Zhi was content, feeling he was really good at training dogs.

He happily got up and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Gao Bochong asked, "Will you make it for me?"

Wang Zhi's eyes drifted, "… I'll order takeout. I have something to do tonight."

"Where are you going?"

Caught up with Gao Bochong, Wang Zhi almost forgot his business. Checking the time, he hurriedly said, "I need to go to the hospital to see my mom."

Wang Zhi said, running to the bedroom to pack his things. When he came out, he found Gao Bochong already standing at the door. Wang Zhi asked, "What are you doing?"

Gao Bochong said, "I'll go with you to the hospital."

Wang Zhi looked at his leg with some doubt, "Can you manage?"

Seeing his doubt, Gao Bochong sneered, "Don't you know if I can or not?"

… There he goes with those suggestive words again.

Wang Zhi pursed his lips. If it were before, he would have pretended to be shy and changed the subject, but now, Wang Zhi felt he could be bolder, so he raised his head, pretending to be calm, "That was before. We haven't tried recently, so I don't know if you still can."

Gao Bochong smiled, "You can try tonight."

Wang Zhi: …

Wang Zhi silently lowered his head again.

He shouldn't have talked about this with Gao Bochong!
