Gu Yulin harbored resentment towards Gu Qingyan.

When he wasn't around, my mother and I were living perfectly fine. It's all that jerk's fault that my mother is constantly being cursed at!

Xu Zhaozhao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her heart pounding as if it would stop!

My dearest son!

What kind of pig talk is that?!

I have no guts! I don't! I still want to live!

"Children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint..."

Xu Zhaozhao quickly tucked Gu Yulin behind her, an instinctive protective action.

Gu Qingyan didn't speak; his expression simply turned cold, without any obvious change in emotion.

It seemed as if he didn't take Yu Yu's words to heart at all.

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Qingyan turned around, opened the car door, and said to the two of them, "Let's go."

Xu Zhaozhao quickly covered Gu Yulin's mouth and stuffed him into the back seat of the car.

This is really difficult!

How can a three-year-old villain be so malicious towards his own father?! His father didn't even have a role in the original story!

Xu Zhaozhao was completely baffled.

...

Soon after, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the villa. Xu Zhaozhao put her hand on the door handle, about to open the door, but then paused.

Turning to look at Gu Qingyan in the driver's seat, she hesitated before asking, "You...you haven't eaten, have you? Why don't you stay and eat with us?"

So much has happened, I haven't even had a boxed lunch yet, so I asked my aunt to prepare dinner on my way home.

He turned slightly to the side, his gaze meeting Xu Zhaozhao's eyes.

Xu Zhaozhao's gaze unconsciously shifted downwards, and even though he was wearing a suit jacket, it wasn't hard to see the slight bulge.

The strawberry candy she gave him was still in his shirt pocket.

Why isn't this person taking it out?!

"No, thank you."

Although Gu Qingyan refused, Xu Zhaozhao inexplicably felt that Gu Qingyan's mood had improved a bit.

He quickly added, "I need to go to the hospital."

"good."

Xu Zhaozhao responded.

He opened the car door, took Gu Yulin's hand, and quickly walked towards the villa.

"Mom, slow down."

Gu Yulin said helplessly that his injured leg made things a little inconvenient.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhaozhao picked up Gu Yulin and carried him into the villa.

When Xu Zhaozhao placed Gu Yulin on the sofa, his little face turned bright red.

He... he was actually carried in by his own mother?

Xu Zhaozhao, however, didn't realize this and patted her chest, "Phew! Yu Yu, luckily we left quickly! I don't want to know the secrets of wealthy families and be forced to participate in those family struggles."

Gu Qingyan said he was going to the hospital, but he didn't say what he was going to do there, and Xu Zhaozhao didn't ask.

He's healthy and strong, why would he go to the hospital for no reason?

It must be that some family head or important figure has suddenly fallen seriously ill, which will inevitably lead to open and covert struggles within the wealthy family.

Based on her nearly ten years of experience reading novels, she absolutely could not know about this!

She wanted to live a little longer with her son.

?

A big question mark popped into Gu Yulin's mind.

What secrets of a wealthy family? What family feuds?

Gu Yulin wanted to say that the Gu family only had one direct descendant, Gu Qingyan, who was the only heir. So where did this family struggle come from?

On second thought, how could that pretentious jerk deserve my mother's attention?

After a moment of silence, Gu Yulin whispered, "Mom, my feet hurt."

Sure enough, Xu Zhaozhao immediately forgot about Gu Qingyan and squatted down worriedly to look at Gu Yulin's wound.

"Sit down properly and let the doctor take another look."

...

Nighttime, the capital's mental hospital.

The eighteenth floor is the storage room for important medical devices.

Drip, drip, drip.

Chi Li, dressed in a white coat, stood in front of a medical device.

Gu Qingyan, dressed in a black suit, sat in a leather chair with various electrode plates connected to wires attached to his head.

He slightly raised his eyes, and on the monitor of the machine, his brainwaves were displayed, slowly fluctuating.

Sizzle.

Soon, the machine printed out a report, and Chi Li removed all the electrode plates.

"Yan, go over there and get a full-body CT scan."

Gu Qingyan had no objection, got off the leather chair, and stood in front of the full-body CT scanner.

Beep beep beep—

Shortly after, the machine emitted a rapid alarm sound.

Chi Li, who was looking at the EEG report, looked up, walked to the CT scanner, and frowned deeply.

"Yan, what's in your shirt pocket?"

In the CT scan, the area around Gu Qingyan's shirt pocket was a dark patch.

Gu Qingyan casually unbuttoned his suit jacket and took out the strawberry candy from his shirt.

He unfolded it and showed it to Chi Li, "Strawberry candy."

He then added, "My wife stuffed it in."

Perhaps the outer packaging of the strawberry candy contained a small amount of metal, which interfered with the normal operation of the equipment.

Chi Li:......

Do you think your wife's strawberry candy can ruin my multi-million dollar machine?

"Then please put aside the strawberry candy your wife gave you and get a full-body CT scan."

Chi Li, with a straight face, pushed his black-rimmed glasses up a bit and said helplessly.

Gu Qingyan nodded and placed the strawberry candy on the table. The reflection of his ring finger flashed in Chi Li's eyes.

"The ring was also taken off."

Chi Li said without any emotion.

Gu Qingyan paused, his brows furrowing deeply. "I won't take it off."

Chi Litai understood this stubborn mule very well.

"Then spread your hands out so the machine can't scan them."

Fearing Gu Qingyan might not agree, Chi Li quickly added, "If you don't want to see your wife again, then don't listen to me."

This sentence swallowed up all of Gu Qingyan's subsequent words.

He walked back to the CT scanner, raised his hand, and placed the ring outside the CT scan area.

This time, the CT scan was finally able to proceed normally.

Chi Li received the report very quickly.

The first thing Gu Qingyan did after getting off the CT scanner was to take back his strawberry candy and put it back in his shirt pocket.

Chi Li:......

Patients, patients; doctors, benevolent hearts.

He placed the two reports on the table. "You know why I asked you to come today, right?"

"Um."

Gu Qingyan replied softly, "It's just that I haven't taken my medicine for five days. You're making such a fuss as if I'm going to die tomorrow."

I'm afraid you'll die on the street if you don't take your medicine for a day.

Chi Li pushed the two reports over, saying, "Your condition has been stable these past few days."

"I know."

These past few days, he hasn't wanted to die.

"You can try to connect with the outside world."

Chi Li paused at this point, then added, "Perhaps it's more exciting than you imagine."

A flicker of emotion finally appeared in Gu Qingyan's eyes. "Contact with the outside world?"

He murmured, repeating Chi Li's words.

"You don't listen to me."

He was told to keep his distance from others, but this guy still went and approached Xu Zhaozhao without permission.

"Yan, go and get closer to the person you want to get closer to."

Chi Li sighed, "But you have to control yourself and not do anything you'll regret."

"Also, pay more attention to your son."

Chi Li's usually calm expression cracked slightly. "He's practically hacked into my medical system, constantly checking for your whereabouts."

Gu Qingyan didn't take it to heart.

He developed this medical system himself, yet his three-year-old son managed to breach his firewall.

I thought about Xu Zhaozhao...

According to the knowledge of biological genetics, my son probably isn't that smart.
