In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
The two of them took their son out for seafood.
Although I felt sorry for him, I didn't dare let him eat too much. After all, eating too much seafood would lead to excessive protein intake, which his body couldn't absorb and would cause diarrhea.
Gu Xiaobao had also heard from his aunt that in order to avoid getting diarrhea, he only ate a little bit of everything, and even if he was really craving something, he would endure it.
Qin Yiheng turned his little head around and said, "Don't look anymore, I'll bring you to eat again in a couple of days."
"Really?" Gu Xiaobao asked in surprise.
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "Have I ever lied to you?"
To everyone's surprise, Gu Xiaobao nodded seriously: "Godfather lied to me. But Daddy has never lied to me."
Gu Yilou couldn't help but chuckle as he watched from the side.
Qin Yiheng's lips twitched. He glanced at Gu Yilou, wanting to tell the little guy that his dad had lied to him without letting him find out.
Unfortunately, after being warned by Gu Yilou's eyes, he shrugged and said nothing.
Let the little one live in a fairy tale.
When he grows up, he'll be able to make his own judgments without needing to be told.
That evening, because they had something to discuss, Gu Yilou took Gu Xiaobao back to Qin Yiheng's villa.
After Gu Xiaobao fell asleep.
Gu Yilou and Qin Yiheng entered the study; one sat on the sofa, and the other stood by the window.
"I'm sorry, I made you anxious today."
Gu Yilou looked apologetically at Qin Yiheng by the window.
Qin Yiheng turned to look at him, arms crossed: "Just one sentence?"
Gu Yilou could tell from his tone that he wasn't really angry. Perhaps he was angry when he couldn't find him, but Ah Heng was very calm now.
"Do you have any wine?" Gu Yilou suddenly asked.
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you weren't going to drink anymore? You've changed your mind after only a few days?"
Gu Yilou lowered his head, looking at the patterns on the coffee table, his voice slightly hoarse: "Xiao Bao told me today that he already knew about us."
"How is this possible!" Qin Yiheng was suddenly shocked.
He thought that Xiao Bao was only as close to him as ever after Lou Ge had enlightened him during the day.
Gu Yilou's expression suddenly darkened, and his tone was indifferent: "It was Jiang Yu and someone else who told him."
Qin Yiheng's expression froze.
How did she know?
The name Jiang Yu didn't leave a good impression on him.
He was certain that since learning of Lou Ge's marriage, he had never revealed any trace of it in public, and even Lou Ge himself did not know what he was up to.
Gu Yilou shook his head and said, "Maybe she's just more sensitive."
In the past, whenever he had social engagements, no matter how late he got home, Jiang Yu would wait for him. He thought it was because she loved him and cared about him. Later, he discovered that she would take his clothes, smell them, and search them carefully.
At first, he didn't know what she was looking for.
It wasn't until I overheard her conversation with her mother and aunt at the Jiang family home that I learned she was looking for a woman's hair and lipstick marks...
Her aunt even said that men would wash themselves clean before going home, and that if Jiang Yu took the initiative to make love to him and he didn't react, it meant that he had already had his fill outside.
Gu Yilou thought it was absurd at the time.
He's a married man; how could he possibly be having affairs?
After returning to the capital, he reduced his social engagements, especially after having children. Unless it was a necessary banquet, he would usually have his secretary attend in person.
I only get together with Ah Heng occasionally.
But he never gets home later than 11 p.m., and he drinks in moderation.
Gu Yilou didn't expect that this would arouse Jiang Yu's suspicion, and that she would even talk about these things with Xiao Bao.
He was relieved that Xiaobao was not affected and was a child with sound values and good mental health.
This wasn't because of his upbringing; he only provided Xiaobao with the best material life but neglected his spiritual world. He wasn't a competent father.
Gu Yilou fell into deep thought, gradually enveloped by layers of guilt and self-reproach.
Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up and saw that Ah Heng had walked over at some point.
"Didn't you want to drink? Come with me."
Where to?
Gu Yilou was stunned for a moment, then got up and followed him out of the study.
"The wine cellar," Qin Yiheng said as he walked.
He was also trying to quit drinking, so he moved all the alcohol in the room to the cellar in the basement. If he couldn't see it, he naturally wouldn't remember it.
Unless something particularly upsetting happens, I'll want to have a couple of drinks before going to sleep.
Gu Yilou followed him all the way to the wine cellar.
Seeing the wines of different vintages displayed on the shelf, he looked surprised: "How come you have so many wines?"
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "A lot? Haven't you been to your family's wine cellar?"
Gu Yilou shook his head and said, "My family doesn't have a wine cellar."
"Of course I have. I've been there before." Qin Yiheng turned around and looked at him in surprise.
"How long has that been?" Gu Yilou couldn't help but chuckle. "My mom has already converted it into an ice skating rink for the kids."
Going to an ice rink or ski resort is not suitable for children because they are too young and their bodies are delicate, and also because there are many people and the environment is complicated.
So they converted their wine cellar into an ice rink.
As the number of children in the family increased, his father bought the villa next door, intending to turn it into a children's playground.
"It has been quite a few years." Qin Yiheng's eyes darkened, but now that Brother Lou was his man, he smiled and said, "I'll go take a look another day."
He should formally pay him a visit.
The two picked out a bottle of wine and returned to the study to slowly savor it.
After a few rounds of drinks, Gu Yilou, worried that Xiaobao might have some lingering issues, asked, "Aheng, do you think we should take Xiaobao to see a psychologist?"
Qin Yiheng met his gaze and instantly understood what he was thinking: "You were worried about him, so you didn't have to worry, that's why you said those things on purpose?"
Gu Yilou nodded: "Yes, in our eyes he is still a child, but in fact, he has had independent thoughts since he started school. We should treat him equally, give him advice and suggestions, or guide him, instead of making decisions for him."
"Us?" Qin Yiheng curled his lips, leaning lazily against the sofa, his smile exceptionally alluring.
Gu Yilou's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at him seriously: "Isn't that right?"
Qin Yiheng suddenly put down his wine glass, moved closer to him, and rested one hand on the armrest of his sofa, his smile deepening: "Looking for advice on how to raise your child? Is Brother Lou planning to live with me?"
Hearing his lazy tone, even though he knew he was deliberately being mischievous, Gu Yilou's handsome face still felt a little hot.
“My house is relatively close to Xiaobao’s school.”
"Oh, then I'll stay at your place."
After all, his focus wasn't on the house itself, but on living together.
Seeing that his ears were red, Qin Yiheng worried that he would go back to his room, so he said in a serious tone, "As for the child's psychological problems, I'll ask Wu Bao tomorrow to see if we can ask her friend who is a dream architect for help. We'll go and see Xiao Bao's inner world with our own eyes. That way you can rest assured, right?"
