Chapter 56 Niannian became the Gu family's darling.

Gu Yuheng stared at her for a while.

He reached out and took her little hand in his.

His clean fingertips unconsciously caressed the back of her hand.

The dim, yellow light fell on the two of them, as if a gentle veil had softened their features, concealing the chaos of reality and leaving only a peaceful and serene scene.

A gentle evening breeze wafted in through the slightly ajar glass window.

The stray hairs that had fallen across Su Niannian's cheeks were gently blown by the wind, brushing against her fair and delicate face.

Gu Yuheng's fingertips tucked a stray strand of hair behind the little girl's ear.

Wherever she went, Su Niannian felt as if she had been burned; her face was burning as she waited for Gu Yuheng's response.

"Niannian." Gu Yuheng cupped her cheeks in his hands: "I think I fell in love with you a long time ago. Otherwise, I would have kicked you out when we first met instead of helping you. Even after we reunited, my eyes have always followed you. I worry when I can't see you, and I look forward to getting off work. The moment I see you when I get home, my mood improves."

"If this isn't liking someone, then what is?"

Gu Yuheng is decisive and resourceful in the business world.

But when it comes to relationships, he's like an emotional idiot, with both his emotional intelligence and IQ in the negative. He's so oblivious that Gao Xiu just wants to beat him up.

Of course, Gao Xiu was just complaining to himself.

Otherwise, I'll have to pack my bags and leave tomorrow.

Fortunately, Gu Yuheng had Gao Xiu by his side, a strategist.

She's a competent secretary and an excellent relationship advisor.

It can be said that those involved are often blinded while bystanders see things clearly. Gao Xiu's words reminded Gu Yuheng, this emotional fool, that he belatedly realized his true feelings.

His eyes always followed Su Niannian, and his mood was swayed by every glance and smile of hers.

"I've already confessed my feelings to you, so do you like me?" The man's dark eyes welled up with intense emotions.

Facing Gu Yuheng's intense gaze, Su Niannian was the one who asked the question, and now she was also the one who didn't know how to answer.

Su Niannian, who has been single since birth for twenty years.

This presented a dilemma.

She pursed her lips and said, "Uncle, if I say I don't know, will you want to hit me...?"

She asked herself in her heart, did she like Gu Yuheng? But her heart never gave her an answer. Her feelings for Gu Yuheng were vague, something she herself couldn't fathom.

Gu Yuheng had already accepted the title of "uncle".

He sighed softly, concealing the disappointment in his eyes. It seemed that getting the girl to realize her feelings and like him was a long and arduous task.

"How could that be? Am I such a violent person in your eyes? Just because you don't like me now doesn't mean you'll never fall in love with me. We have a long, long time ahead of us."

"Niannian, I will try my best to make you like me. You just need to stand still and wait for me. You don't need to do anything."

Su Niannian's eyes reflected Gu Yuheng's gentle yet serious expression.

A part of my heart was deeply touched; it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved. My nose tingled, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Gu Yuheng tenderly stroked her face, his chest aching as if pierced, and whispered, "Baby, why are you crying again? It breaks my heart every time you cry."

Su Niannian sniffed pathetically, her eyes red like a little rabbit's.

She said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely fall in love with you."

Gu Yuheng thought helplessly, "Can I still work hard if I like someone?"

But that's not the point.

The most important thing to do now is to quickly soothe this crying little bunny.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Niannian to fall in love with me. But Niannian, don't be too hasty. We have a lifetime, we can take it slow."

Two tear tracks trailed on Su Niannian's face, making her look somewhat comical and funny. Who would have thought she was moved to tears by a confession?

She stared at the hem of her nightgown and muttered to herself, "How embarrassing, I always cry in front of you."

Gu Yuheng considerately offered an explanation for her: "Pregnancy causes a rise in progesterone, which can lead to mood swings and crying in pregnant women. So it's not Niannian's fault, but the fault of the two little ones in your belly."

The little one put his hands inside his pockets:

Upon hearing his words, Su Niannian burst into laughter through her tears.

Seeing her smile, Gu Yuheng finally felt relieved and glanced at the clock before speaking.

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Su Niannian's eyes were also getting heavy, she yawned, and lay down on the bed with Gu Yuheng.

The two of them were already moving very gently, but the wooden bed was really uncooperative, creaking and groaning at the slightest movement.

The landlord's words echoed in Su Niannian's mind.

The old house has poor sound insulation; the neighbors can hear even the slightest noise.

So she lay on the bed, too afraid to move.

But the young master next to him was different; after lying down, he became restless for some reason.

He kept turning over.

Because the bedroom is right next to the security door, any sounds coming from inside the house are very clear, even in the quiet of the night.

After being kicked out, Su Xin and Jian Ran didn't dare to go home immediately. They wandered around outside for half a day and only returned after having a late-night snack.

When passing by Su Niannian's room.

I could hear strange noises coming from inside.

The two men stopped and listened suspiciously.

"Wow, Su Niannian is really amazing. She found a rich guy, kicked us out, and then the two of them went inside to do *that*." Jian Ran couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Su Xin listened to the sounds coming from inside.

The more she listened, the more jealous she became. She always tried to find a rich man, but Su Niannian beat her to it.

"What's there to envy? Which rich person has genuine feelings? It's just something new and fun."

Although she said that, she was secretly planning that if Su Niannian really found a rich man, she would have to treat her better in the future.

The circles of wealthy people are interconnected.

She'd tried so hard, but still couldn't fit into the circle of wealthy people. Maybe she should ask Su Niannian's sugar daddy to introduce her to some rich young men.

Thinking this, Su Xin took Jian Ran's hand and quickly went upstairs.

I'm afraid she'll try to take it from me later.

------

After learning that Su Niannian was pregnant, Madam Gu's backache and leg pain disappeared, and her long-term high blood pressure even healed itself without medication.

I could climb ten floors in one go, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

After Su Niannian returned to the villa, the old lady immediately brought a top-notch team of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to give her granddaughter-in-law a thorough and careful medical examination.

Although Su Niannian had already undergone a check-up at the hospital.

However, the old lady was still worried.

Dr. Li has been treating the Gu family since his father's generation, and he enjoys their deep trust.

After taking Su Niannian's pulse, he said to the old lady, "Old lady, don't worry, the young mistress and her child are both in stable condition, and the fetus is developing normally. However, there is one thing to note: the young mistress is a bit thin. She should eat more and gain some weight so that her blood and energy are sufficient."

The old lady nodded upon hearing this, and then gave instructions to the steward, Uncle Zhang.

"Xiao Zhang, go and invite two professional nutritionists over to create a diet plan for Niannian and help her take care of her health."

Uncle Zhang dared not delay and immediately did as the old lady instructed.

The young mistress is now as precious as a giant panda.
