The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Honey, I want cake too.

Chapter Two

In the living room.

Pei Huaixue was wrapped in a fluffy blanket, curled up into a ball on the sofa, eating snacks and watching a movie.

Today’s viewing was the film that won his husband an award.

A police action movie.

Pei Huaixue had lost count of how many times he had watched it, yet he still enjoyed it immensely.

“029, look quickly, isn’t my husband handsome?”

When Gu Minghe, a towering figure of 1.9 meters, appeared handsomely in his police uniform, Pei Huaixue’s eyes were glued to the screen, repeatedly dragging the progress bar back to admire his face.

System 029 could barely watch.

Host, you have repeated that sentence to me more than ten times. This system knows your husband is handsome, but please don’t forget, your mission target is Gu Yanchen, not Gu Minghe.

Pei Huaixue ignored the system, focused only on his own happiness.

When Gu Minghe returned home, he saw Pei Huaixue had grown tired of watching and was lazily asleep, nestled on the sofa.

The movie had already reached its end.

Gu Minghe turned off the TV. He sat down next to Pei Huaixue, extended his long arm, and gently scooped the person into his embrace, letting his wife rest his head on his lap to sleep.

Pei Huaixue had been frail since childhood and tired easily.

His figure was slender and thin, like a piece of paper, ready to be blown away by the wind—a pitiful sight.

If Gu Minghe hadn’t taken such meticulous care of him, he would have been even thinner.

Gu Minghe couldn’t bear to wake him, so he simply held the person in his arms, quietly waiting for him to wake up.

After about half an hour, the little cat in his arms lazily turned over and opened a pair of clear, innocent eyes. The first thing he saw was Gu Minghe’s excessively handsome face.

Pei Huaixue immediately smiled, his eyes curving into crescents. He hooked his arms around Gu Minghe’s neck, rubbing his fluffy head against the man’s collarbone.

“Honey, why didn’t you wake me when you got back?” His voice was soft and sweet, and his spoiled tone melted the heart of anyone who heard it.

Gu Minghe’s large hand resting on Pei Huaixue’s waist tightened slightly. He lowered his head and kissed the soft lips of the person in his arms.

Pei Huaixue cooperated, tilting his neck back and obediently parting his lips, allowing Gu Minghe to conquer the territory between his lips and teeth. The kissing didn’t stop. Pei Huaixue could feel the large hand on his waist moving up his spine. His waist trembled violently, and his posture shifted from lying in Gu Minghe’s arms to sitting face-to-face on the man’s lap.

“Tonight… aren’t we… going back to the Old Manor?”

Pei Huaixue quickly reminded Gu Minghe during a break for air.

“Mhm.”

The man’s large hand rubbed Pei Huaixue’s head, smoothing out his wrinkled clothes, and then he picked the person up and headed back to the bedroom.

When they reappeared, Pei Huaixue had changed his clothes.

He was wearing a beige cotton long-sleeve shirt paired with light-colored jeans, making him look soft and gentle.

The marks on his neck were concealed by a silk scarf; if one didn’t look closely, nothing would be visible.

Gu Minghe held his hand, and the two left the house together.

The Gu family held a Family Gathering once a month.

No matter how busy Gu Minghe and Gu Yanchen were, they had to make time to return and spend time with the elders.

Gu Family Old Manor.

Because of the terrifying Hot Search from earlier today, the atmosphere in the house was somewhat subtle.

Zhong Manzhu gave Gu Chengyuan a meaningful look. Gu Chengyuan then put down the newspaper in his hand and said to his eldest son, who had just entered the house, “Ahem, Yanchen, what’s going on between you and Xiaoxue?”

Gu Yanchen took off his suit jacket and handed it to a servant, adjusted his Gold-rimmed Glasses, and said with calm composure, “Marketing accounts write nonsense. What could possibly be going on between Xiaoxue and me?”

“That’s true,” Gu Chengyuan reminded him, “When your brother comes back later, you need to explain things clearly to him. You know how he is—when it comes to Xiaoxue, he throws caution to the wind. If he tries to hit you, just endure it and don’t provoke him.”

“I know.”

Gu Yanchen was used to it.

In the past, Gu Minghe had often sought fights with him over Pei Huaixue, acting like a mad dog.

“Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Minghe and I are back to see you!” Just as he spoke, Pei Huaixue’s voice came from the doorway.

Pei Huaixue walked in, holding Gu Minghe’s hand, his face beaming with happiness.

Zhong Manzhu stepped forward and asked him with a smile, “Are you cold?”

It was early autumn; the weather was cool but not truly cold. However, Pei Huaixue had poor health and was more sensitive to the cold than the average person, so those around him were always worried about him being chilled.

Pei Huaixue shook his head. “Not cold. And I’m wearing long johns.”

Gu Minghe had forced him to wear them.

Zhong Manzhu’s smile froze slightly. “You child, why do you tell everyone everything?”

Just then, Gu Yanchen, not far away, looked over with deep eyes and nodded toward Pei Huaixue. “You’re back.”

Pei Huaixue felt guilty the moment he saw Gu Yanchen. He avoided eye contact and pretended to be calm as he called out, “Big… Big Brother.”

As soon as he spoke, a tall, broad figure blocked him, completely obscuring the gaze Gu Yanchen was sending over. Pei Huaixue was stunned, and instinctively grabbed the waist of the man in front of him, completely hidden behind him.

Pei Huaixue was 1.83 meters tall, not short, but his figure was too thin. Next to Gu Minghe, who was a 1.9-meter wide-shouldered, narrow-waisted truck, he looked like a kitten held by a lion.

Gu Minghe deliberately blocked him, preventing Gu Yanchen from seeing him, and indeed, he covered him completely.

Only a pair of pale, delicate hands remained, placed on the man’s waist, tightly clutching his clothes, looking small and vulnerable.

Gu Minghe looked at Gu Yanchen with ill-concealed suspicion. His expression hadn’t softened since he walked through the door.

Gu Yanchen had managed the Gu Corporation for many years and naturally exuded an Aura of Authority. Although he was tolerant of Gu Minghe, his five-year-younger brother, he was also strict, and even slightly provocative.

“What, looking for a fight again?”

Gu Minghe flexed his wrist, eager for action.

“It’s not out of the question.”

Pei Huaixue saw Gu Minghe’s stance and knew he must have seen the Hot Search and learned about the incident involving him and Gu Yanchen.

Yet, he hadn’t mentioned it the entire way home, acting as if he didn’t care. Now that he saw Gu Yanchen, Gu Minghe’s patience had reached its limit.

Pei Huaixue quickly pulled him back. “Honey, what happened today was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Don’t be angry with Big Brother, it’s all my fault…”

The explanation only made Gu Minghe’s face darken further.

How could his wife be at fault?

The blame should fall on Gu Yanchen, who was always trying to seduce his wife.

Gu Minghe frowned irritably and warned Gu Yanchen, “Stay away from my wife.”

Gu Yanchen smiled, his eyes full of helplessness. “Xiaoxue, you must be struggling being with him.”

Seeing that a war was about to erupt, Zhong Manzhu quickly intervened to mediate.

Fortunately, Old Master Gu was descending the stairs, leaning on his cane, so the two brothers stopped arguing. Seeing Old Master Gu, Pei Huaixue quickly went to help him.

The Old Master smiled kindly when he saw Pei Huaixue.

Pei Huaixue’s mother had once worked as a maid at the Old Manor. When Pei Huaixue was little, he often came to the Old Manor to do his homework. The Old Master had watched him grow up and was very fond of him.

Everyone sat down together for dinner.

Gu Minghe sat across from Gu Yanchen, his eyes constantly on guard, afraid that if he wasn’t careful, Gu Yanchen would throw a flirtatious glance at Pei Huaixue.

The Old Master didn’t follow the Hot Search and didn’t know what had happened. He cheerfully told Pei Huaixue to spend more time with Gu Yanchen; they were family, after all, and shouldn’t be strangers.

Hearing this, Pei Huaixue smiled awkwardly. He could feel Gu Minghe beside him, his body tense, clearly trying hard to restrain something.

Pei Huaixue reached out his small hand under the table and pinched Gu Minghe’s thigh. His intention was to soothe him, but the man’s breathing suddenly grew heavier in his ear.

Gu Minghe looked at Pei Huaixue meaningfully, his deep eyes unreadable.

It wasn’t until after the main course, when dessert was served, that he spoke to Pei Huaixue in a calm tone, “Honey, I want cake.”

Pei Huaixue, who was drinking water, nearly choked.

The people around them looked at Gu Minghe with expressions of exasperation.

Childish, too childish.

Gu Yanchen lifted his eyes, choosing to ignore him.

Pei Huaixue quickly forked a small piece of cake and held it up to Gu Minghe’s mouth. Gu Minghe obediently opened his mouth and took a large bite, nearly biting Pei Huaixue’s finger.

A warm, wet sensation touched his fingertip, and Pei Huaixue’s ears flushed. He tried to pull his hand back.

Gu Minghe leaned closer again. “I have cream on the corner of my mouth. Help me wipe it off.”

“Oh…” Pei Huaixue blankly reached out to wipe the cream, but his hand was immediately grasped by Gu Minghe’s large palm.

He held Pei Huaixue’s hand and used it to wipe away the cream from the corners of his lips, then meticulously licked clean the cream that had gotten onto Pei Huaixue’s five fingers.

Pei Huaixue’s cheeks instantly turned crimson.

“That’s enough, that’s enough. Mom and Dad are right here.”

Gu Chengyuan and Zhong Manzhu averted their gazes, pretending not to notice.

Gu Yanchen smiled, continuing to ignore Gu Minghe’s display of dominance.

Gu Minghe, who had been sulking all day, finally felt a little better now.

He held his wife’s hand and squeezed it gently. “Baby, don’t casually feed other people food in the future, okay? If you’re going to feed anyone, you can only feed me.”

“Okay, okay.”

Pei Huaixue agreed guiltily.

System 029, who had been observing for a long time, finally couldn’t help but say:

Pei Huaixue, your husband is so jealous.

Pei Huaixue nodded: Yes, my husband is very jealous.

029: Then what about the mission?

Pei Huaixue: I don’t know either. We’ll take it one step at a time.

029: I have a feeling this host is unreliable.

–

On the way back that night, Pei Huaixue sat in the passenger seat silently, his mind preoccupied with how to complete the mission behind Gu Minghe’s back without being discovered.

Moreover, he didn’t want to make Gu Minghe sad or upset.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Gu Minghe, who was concentrating on driving, and couldn’t help but ask, “Honey, about the Hot Search today, is there anything you want to ask me?”

The car braked, stopping at a red light.

Gu Minghe’s hands gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly. He pressed his lips together, his jawline taut, his gaze fixed forward. He asked in an even tone, “Pei Huaixue, do you still like Gu Yanchen?”

The few dozen seconds of waiting for the red light felt long and agonizing.

Pei Huaixue hadn’t expected him to ask so directly. He could only pick at his fingers and shake his head. “I never liked Gu Yanchen. The person I like has always been you.”

He had actually said this to Gu Minghe before, but the other party clearly hadn’t taken it to heart.

When the two returned home, the moment the door closed, Pei Huaixue’s waist was pressed, and he was slammed against the door with a thud.

A large hand cushioned the back of his head, preventing him from getting hurt.

Soon, the man’s strong, muscular thigh wedged between his legs. Pei Huaixue was caught completely off guard, his hands raised above his head. The silk scarf around his neck was ripped off and became the culprit binding his wrists.

The now-exposed pale neck was immediately covered in warm, wet breath.

He tilted his head back, the clear, graceful line of his jaw tracing a pale arc in the darkness. Pei Huaixue bit his lip, his body trembling uncontrollably, fragmented sounds escaping his throat.

Gu Minghe was breathing heavily, his eyes dark and ambiguous.

“Honey, I want cake.”

“No, didn’t we already eat it?” Pei Huaixue twisted his waist, trying to break free from the restraint, but the hands pinning him against the door interlaced their fingers tightly with his.

The next second, his lips were captured. The man tasted him and said, “Not enough. I can’t get enough.”

Pei Huaixue’s eyes were hazy, filled with a watery sheen.

He had the strange feeling that he himself had been treated like a cake, thoroughly consumed inside and out.

–

Pei Huaixue was delicate; Gu Minghe only needed to use a little force for him to cry.

“Stop, I don’t want anymore.”

Every time Pei Huaixue cried and begged for mercy, Gu Minghe would stop. However, a moment later, Pei Huaixue would tightly hug his neck, crying fiercely, “Who told you to stop?”

Gu Minghe didn’t laugh at him. Whatever his wife said, went.

After the night passed, Gu Minghe’s jealousy finally subsided, but Pei Huaixue was so exhausted he couldn’t even lift his arms.

He wanted to sleep in, but System 029 in his mind kept nagging him.

Host, Host, the mission! Don’t forget the mission!

“What mission?”

The four-person hot spring trip the day after tomorrow! Your husband is calling people to cancel it!

The system shrieked.

Pei Huaixue finally remembered. Before the Hot Search incident, Gu Minghe hadn’t been so wary of him interacting with Gu Yanchen, so he had agreed to the four-person hot spring trip with himself, Gu Minghe, Gu Yanchen, and Su Jin.

In the original novel, Gu Minghe did not go; only the three of them went.

During that hot spring trip, Pei Huaixue used every means possible to seduce Gu Yanchen, constantly creating accidents and misunderstandings, making Su Jin believe that his relationship with Gu Yanchen was intimate. This caused the relationship between Gu Yanchen and Su Jin to stagnate and almost break up.

This was crucial plot development in the original book!

The system reminded him that the hot spring trip must happen!

Pei Huaixue had a headache.

He could only prop up his tired body and wrap his arms around Gu Minghe’s waist from behind, stopping him from continuing the call. “Honey, I want to go to the hot springs.”

Gu Minghe rubbed his slender wrist, his tone calm. “I’ll take you sometime later. Just the two of us.”

“No! I already promised Brother Su Jin. If I don’t go, he’ll be unhappy!” Pei Huaixue whined, pleading with Gu Minghe.

Gu Minghe gave him a deep look. He never refused Pei Huaixue. After a long moment, he reluctantly nodded. “Then stay far away from Gu Yanchen.”

“I promise to keep my distance from Big Brother.” Pei Huaixue quickly agreed.

As long as he did it behind Gu Minghe’s back, without letting him find out, and created a small misunderstanding between Su Jin and Gu Yanchen, his mission would be complete.

Being the Vicious Cannon Fodder was simple enough.
