Mistakenly Seen as a Scumbag by My Wife with Seven Personalities - Chapter 23

The sound of intense heartbeats was almost impossible to hide in the darkness. Gu Fei held the person in her arms, her fingertips restrained as she gently caressed the other’s back. With a soft voice that couldn’t hide her blushing face, she tried to soothe her.

“I’ve already touched it. Let’s go to sleep, Senior.”

“You know full well that’s not where I wanted you to touch.”

With a low hum of spoiled protest against Gu Fei’s ear, Fu Jinxi pulled Gu Fei’s arm into her embrace, pressing against it gently.

The slender silver chain rested against her fair skin. Even a light touch would cause the broken diamonds on it to leave faint marks on her.

To say nothing of a heavier pressure.

“If you don’t want to touch me, fine. But you have to leave a mark on my body.”

Pressed tightly into Gu Fei’s arms, Fu Jinxi’s long legs deep beneath the quilt rubbed against Gu Fei’s waist.

“The kind that won’t fade for three days, okay? Feifei.”

With her breath becoming ragged, Gu Fei opened her eyes and reached out to touch Fu Jinxi’s chin. Unable to restrain herself, she pressed a kiss onto her lips.

“It will hurt you, Senior…”

“It won’t… Feifei has always been gentle.”

Immersed in the kiss, Fu Jinxi captured the tip of Gu Fei’s tongue, responding in a low, soft, and tender voice.

Gu Fei’s lips curved into a silent smile as she took hold of the fingers climbing onto her shoulder. As her thumb instinctively rubbed against the tips of those fingers, Gu Fei rarely found her mind wandering during intimacy; it was then that a thought occurred to her.

“There’s no need to leave a mark for three days. I’ll come to see you every night.”

Gently helping Fu Jinxi remove the silver chain from her body, Gu Fei spoke with her ear tips turning slightly red.

“…Why?”

Fu Jinxi opened her eyes to look at her, her gaze shimmering like water, her voice carrying a rare hint of confusion.

“Are you going to abandon Qin Qingwei and elope with me?”

Otherwise, why would she suddenly change her mind and become so clingy?

“…That medicine needs to be applied for three consecutive days. Can you manage it alone, Senior?”

Wisely choosing to remain silent regarding Fu Jinxi’s second question, Gu Fei explained softly while holding her fingertips.

With manicured nails this long…

Even if Fu Jinxi nodded and said she could, Gu Fei wouldn’t believe it.

“…I knew it wasn’t for me.”

She was still worried about Qin Qingwei’s body, after all.

With a low hum, Fu Jinxi followed Gu Fei’s movements and turned slightly to make it easier for her to remove the silver chain from her back.

Looking down at the nails on her hand, Fu Jinxi pursed her lips slightly, her expression becoming somewhat listless.

“I can just get the nails removed… After all, you and Qin Qingwei already made plans, didn’t you?”

Although the two cities weren’t far apart, it would be too exhausting for Gu Fei to drive to her every night just to apply medicine once.

Even if Qin Qingwei didn’t care for her own wife, Fu Jinxi did.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei’s fingers paused. She looked down at Fu Jinxi, who had her back turned to her, and suddenly remembered the phone call with her wife during the day.

So, at that time, had her wife’s personality already switched?

And…

Leaning down slightly, Gu Fei gently embraced Fu Jinxi from behind.

“Didn’t you choose this style specifically, Senior? It’s very beautiful; you should keep it for a few more days.”

The corners of Fu Jinxi’s mouth curled up almost imperceptibly as she shot a sidelong glance at her.

“Since they’re beautiful, why did you agree to Qin Qingwei’s request to have them removed?”

“…”

Blinking her eyes, Gu Fei pretended not to hear this deliberate jab and instead confirmed the suspicion in her heart.

As expected, the nails were indeed done by her wife’s new personality, not Gu Yi.

While she was silent and thinking, Fu Jinxi flipped over and sat astride her waist, reaching out to gently tug at Gu Fei’s cheek.

“I’m asking you a question, Gu Feifei.”

She didn’t want to let Gu Fei “muddle through” this time. Gu Fei couldn’t keep avoiding the conflict between her and Qin Qingwei every single time…

Even though Fu Jinxi knew she didn’t have much of an advantage right now, she still wanted to know: in Gu Fei’s heart, just how big was the gap in status between her and Qin Qingwei?

“…”

In the dim light, the two stared at each other in silence.

Her throat moved slightly as Gu Fei remained quiet for a moment, slowly placing the silver chain on the bedside table.

When she looked up again, she pursed her lips softly.

“Because Qingwei accidentally scratched me with those nails, so they have to be removed.”

She shifted the focus of the conflict onto herself.

This was the solution Gu Fei came up with in a matter of seconds.

And as expected, upon hearing this answer, Fu Jinxi’s brows furrowed instantly.

“Where did she scratch you? Let me see…”

As she spoke, she reached for the switch on the headboard.

However, Gu Fei took the opportunity to pull her back into the covers.

“The mark has already faded. You won’t be able to see it, Senior.”

Pursing her lips as she met Gu Fei’s gaze, the fighting spirit Fu Jinxi had just summoned instantly withered away.

“Then I’ll go get mine removed tomorrow too.”

After a pause, she added in a muffled voice.

“I won’t ever get them done again.”

“Why wouldn’t you?”

Although she had successfully smoothed things over, seeing Fu Jinxi’s low spirits caused Gu Fei’s sense of relief to be replaced by heartache.

“They’re so pretty. It would be a waste to remove them.”

Fu Jinxi bit her lip and looked at her without speaking.

It felt as if she was always messing everything up.

Just like when she impulsively broke up with Gu Fei, which gave Qin Qingwei the opportunity to step in.

What she was doing now seemed to be pushing Gu Fei further away from her once again…

A sudden wave of panic rose in her heart. Fu Jinxi’s eyes reddened as she blinked, and she couldn’t help but throw herself into Gu Fei’s arms and burst into tears.

“Feifei…”

“What’s wrong, Senior?”

Startled by the sudden shift in her wife’s mood, Gu Fei instinctively held her tight, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

“The nails you did are really beautiful, there’s no need to remove them because of me and…”

After a short silence, Gu Fei blushed and spoke softly into her ear.

“When your hands grip me… it’s very sexy. I like it very much.”

To coax her wife, Gu Fei spoke the hidden thoughts of her heart directly.

And this shy confession successfully made Fu Jinxi stop crying.

She couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh and a low hum as she raised her hand to look at her fingers.

“Then you must remember, these nails were my doing, not Qin Qingwei’s. She doesn’t have such good taste.”

“…Mm.”

Gu Fei smiled silently, closed her eyes, and held her. When she spoke again, her voice carried an uncontrollable trace of drowsiness.

“Let’s sleep, Senior. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

Although Fu Jinxi wasn’t sleepy, she responded softly, following Gu Fei’s lead as she gazed at the fatigue etched between Gu Fei’s brows.

It was rare for her to come out; she never wanted to waste her time sleeping. She was afraid that once she fell asleep, she wouldn’t know when she would wake up again. She was no match for Qin Qingwei; the duration of her awakenings was always pitifully short.

Unlike Qin Qingwei, who even had the time to get married to Gu Fei…

At the thought of this, Fu Jinxi felt a surge of resentment. But, looking at Gu Fei beside her, she suppressed the indignation in her heart. She lay in Gu Fei’s arms, watching her sleeping face for half the night. It wasn’t until the sky began to pale with dawn that Fu Jinxi finally felt drowsy and slowly closed her eyes.

…

The next morning, Gu Fei made very little noise when she woke up. After confirming the person in her arms was still fast asleep, she moved lightly out of bed and went back to the master bedroom to wash up.

Qin Qingwei’s assistant would arrive punctually at seven to pick her up, and it wasn’t even six yet.

After washing up, Gu Fei went straight to the kitchen. She didn’t return to the guest room until breakfast was ready. Sitting by the bed and looking at Fu Jinxi’s sleeping face, Gu Fei couldn’t help but feel a flicker of nervousness.

Taking the ointment and finger cots from the drawer, Gu Fei gently lifted the corner of the quilt and slipped in from the foot of the bed.

To avoid Fu Jinxi waking up and bursting into tears again, she had decided last night to finish the task quickly while she was still asleep. Otherwise, given Gu Fei’s tendency to be easily swayed by her emotions, who knew how long they would be at odds…

Furthermore, there was another reason for Gu Fei’s nervousness. She was afraid her wife would suddenly switch personalities upon waking. It would be fine if it were another personality, but if she switched back to Qin Qingwei and found Gu Fei applying medicine while she slept, Qin Qingwei would almost certainly misunderstand. She would think Gu Fei was taking advantage of her absence to be intimate with Gu Yi…

Although things between them were indeed not “innocent,” if her wife really found out, Gu Fei wouldn’t be able to explain herself even if she had ten mouths.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly during the application.

With beads of sweat on her forehead from being under the covers, Gu Fei emerged with a flushed face, leaning against the edge of the bed and panting softly.

While she was catching her breath, unnoticed by Gu Fei, a blush began to creep over the face of the woman lying in the center of the bed.

Despite her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably, Song Yanran tightly gripped the bedsheet beneath her and kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

She couldn’t quite figure out why Gu Fei was applying medicine to her all day and night. She did it before sleep, and now again upon waking…

What exactly had Gu Fei been playing at with the other personalities?

…

During breakfast, Gu Fei keenly noticed her wife’s silence. After glancing again at her wife, who was quietly eating across from her, Gu Fei spoke tentatively.

“I’ll go straight to the neighboring city after work. Senior, remember to send me the hotel room number where you’ll be staying tonight.”

“…”

Swallowing the milk, Song Yanran met her gaze, her voice calm and slow.

“I am not Fu Jinxi.”

“…”

Blinking, the prepared Gu Fei took a calm sip from her water glass. While secretly observing her wife’s expression through the transparent glass, she silently recited her wife’s other name in her heart.

Song Yanran likely knew what she was thinking; a hint of a smile was hidden beneath her lowered eyes. She sat quietly, allowing Gu Fei to study her face.

“Have you guessed who I am?”

A few seconds later, after Gu Fei had downed a large glass of water in one breath, Song Yanran looked up with a faint smile.

“Teacher Song.”

Looking at her with a gentle smile, Gu Fei spoke with certainty.

“Yes, it’s me.”

With an imperceptible curve of her lips, Song Yanran reached out and added more water to Gu Fei’s glass.

“Student Gu seems very thirsty. Do you want more?”

“…Now that I’ve recognized my wife, I won’t drink anymore.”

With her ear tips turning slightly red, Gu Fei responded shyly and honestly.

Song Yanran’s hand paused briefly, but she said nothing, merely looking down as she finished filling her own glass.

“Do you have something to tell me? For example, whether Qin Qingwei or Fu Jinxi has a schedule today?”

“…They do.”

…

Thus, at seven in the morning.

When the assistant, Xiao Yang, drove to the front of Qin Qingwei’s house, she saw Qin Qingwei and her girlfriend standing on opposite sides of their suitcases, with a gap between them large enough for three more people to stand side-by-side.

Zhao Yuanyuan, sitting in the passenger seat, also witnessed this scene.

“Could they have had a fight?”

Muttering under her breath, Zhao Yuanyuan was the first to push the door open and get out of the car.

“Sister Qingwei, is Miss Gu going on the business trip with you? You two really have a great relationship.”

“…”

Song Yanran looked at her silently, said nothing, and simply turned her gaze toward Gu Fei.

Meeting her gaze, Gu Fei blinked. After a casual response to Zhao Yuanyuan, she picked up Song Yanran’s suitcase and put it in the trunk of the car.

“Song… um…”

Gu Fei, who was about to reflexively call out the wrong name, had her mouth covered just in time by Song Yanran. Seeing the slight frown and shake of Song Yanran’s head, Gu Fei corrected herself softly.

“…Teacher, be careful on the road.”

“…”

Giving her a helpless look, Song Yanran turned and got into the car, her ears flushed red.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanyuan and Xiao Yang, who had witnessed the whole exchange, looked at each other with varying expressions.

This couple… do they not even hide their roleplay from others?

On her way to work, Gu Fei received a message from Song Yanran.

Pursing her lips and touching the bridge of her nose, Gu Fei thought for a moment and replied with a slight blush. It wasn’t that she intended to tease Song Yanran, but she had planned this all along those photos absolutely could not be seen by Qin Qingwei.

After five minutes of silence from Song Yanran’s end, Gu Fei added another message, her face burning. She wanted to keep them in a private album to look at secretly.

This time, Song Yanran’s reply was extremely fast.

Receiving the reply, Gu Fei felt a brief sense of disappointment. After a thought, she sent another message to Song Yanran, her ears turning red.

As she scrolled rapidly through the photos on her phone, Song Yanran’s face flushed as she pressed her lips tight. Just as she was about to delete all the photos in one go, she was interrupted by another message from Gu Fei.

Her fingertips paused, and she opened the chat box. After twenty minutes of mental struggle, she replied reservedly.

Although she quickly retracted the message a second later, it was still caught by Gu Fei in time.

Gu Fei let out an involuntary chuckle. She wondered if, while shopping for underwear for Pei Yao after work, she could also pick out a few sets for herself.

That way, she could send some photos to Teacher Song.
