Everyone was talking about it, and they all had something to look forward to in the days to come.

When Su Li returned home, she happened to see Gu Huanian at the gate of the yard.

He was still holding the baby in his arms. Gu Huanian smiled when he saw her and said, "I just brought the baby out for a walk. I didn't expect you to come back so quickly."

Su Li opened the gate to the Jiang family compound.

Gu Huanian followed closely behind, carrying the child in his arms. The little guy didn't cry or fuss in Gu Huanian's arms.

He would occasionally flash a big smile, almost making Gu Huanian's lips curl into a pout.

"Ah Li, have you named the baby yet?"

Su Li shook her head. Actually, she had thought of a few names, but she hadn't decided which one to use yet.

She plans to wait a few months until the child can crawl, then let him choose a name for himself.

Gu Huanian said somewhat nervously, "I've come up with a few names for the child, would you like to hear them?"

"I won't listen. I'll think of the name myself. You don't need to worry about it."

As she spoke, Su Li reached out to the child in his arms; "Baby, come here and let Mommy hold you."

The little one was laughing so hard that drool was dripping down his face, and Su Li picked up the baby.

He wiped away his drool and said to Gu Huanian, "I'll take care of the child. You can go back now."

Gu Huanian looked at Su Li with some reluctance, his eyes full of sadness and grievance.

He felt that he might never be forgiven by Su Li in his lifetime because of this heartless act of using and discarding her.

Gu Huanian had recovered enough to return to his unit.

But he was a little worried about Su Li, and he was almost out of the courtyard.

Thinking of the Zhen family, he turned around and walked back.

"Ah Li, if anyone from the Zhen family comes looking for you, just say that the fruit was sourced from me, and don't say anything else."

During this time, no one asked about the fruit anymore, and Su Li thought the matter was over.

I didn't expect Gu Huanian to bring this up now, so I guess that person is still investigating!

"Okay, I got it. I'll push it onto you as compensation for last time."

If it weren't for Gu Huanian, Zhang Cui wouldn't have come for revenge last time.

It's fine to push the blame onto him; he's not afraid of anything, he's just worried that those people might affect the baby.

Seeing that she had taken his words to heart, Gu Huanian took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her.

Su Li did not reach out to take it; "I feel that given our current relationship, it's not appropriate for me to accept anything from you anymore."

Gu Huanian grabbed her hand and placed the item in it, saying, "It's not worth much, so I'm giving it to you to play with. If you don't like it, you can keep it for the baby!"

After saying that, Gu Huanian stretched out his arms and gently hugged Su Li and her daughter. Before she could react, he immediately let go.

"Ah Li, I'll come again tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left, not giving Su Li a chance to speak at all.

The moment he turned around, a smile appeared on his lips; he had just hugged Ah Li.

Their relationship has taken another step forward.

After Gu Huanian left, Su Li opened the small box, inside which was a jade bracelet.

The pale purple jadeite looks dazzling and is obviously very valuable.

She packed the things away, thinking she would return them sometime.

The next morning, Su Li had just gotten up when she saw Gu Huanian chopping firewood in the yard.

Gou Sheng is making breakfast.

Seeing that Su Li had gotten up, Gu Huanian smiled and said, "You're awake."

Why are you here?

"I heard you took over the textile factory, so I figured you'd definitely come in today. I'm here to hold the baby."

Su Li hadn't expected that things would turn out this way with her factory, right after the contract was signed.

Gu Huanian had already received the news.

Have you had breakfast?

Ignoring the meat bun he ate that morning, Gu Huanian lied and said, "My mom went out early this morning, I don't know what she went to do, and I'm still hungry."

As she spoke, she looked at Su Li with a pitiful expression.

Just then, Gou Sheng finished preparing breakfast; "Brother Gu, are you eating here for breakfast? If so, I'll get you an extra bowl."

Gu Huanian looked at Su Li expectantly, while Su Li was speechless.

When did this man become such a good actor?

While Su Li was putting the child in the stroller, Gu Huanian had already brought over the food from the kitchen.

Gu Huanian drank a bowl of porridge and looked at Su Li, saying, "This porridge is too thin. If I were to make it, I could make it taste much better."

Then he picked up a piece of stir-fried radish with leftovers.

"These radishes are cut too coarsely. If I were to cut them, I could cut them to a more even thickness. That would taste much better."

"This egg is overcooked. If I were to cook it..."

Gou Shengjian wished he could disappear on the spot after hearing Gu Huanian's words.

Was his cooking really that bad? My sister always says it's delicious!

Su Li couldn't help but interrupt, "Alright, if you don't want to eat, you don't have to."

Gu Huanian looked at her with a hint of resentment after hearing her words.

He just wanted to show her that he would cook better if he were here.

Who knew that Su Li would become impatient just because he casually said the food wasn't good?

After finally finishing breakfast, Su Li and Gou Sheng went out separately.

The child was entrusted to Gu Huanian's care.

Today was her first day at the factory, and Su Li returned to her room wearing a white dress.

Her hair was tied up with a headband, and she wore a pair of high-heeled sandals.

The moment she stepped out of the room, Gu Huanian stared wide-eyed.

"Why dress up so nicely if you're just going to the factory?" he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
