Chapter 187 Testing
After Lu Huailin returned from the bathhouse, Gu Yihan had already finished dinner and returned to the bedroom, lying on her side on the bed playing with the little one.
"young married woman."
Lu Huailin nimbly lay down on his side behind his wife and hugged her.
He sniffed her hair and said, "Wife, you smell so good."
Gu Yihan pushed his head away with her hand and pointed to the lunchbox on the dressing table: "Grandma made this for you separately."
Lu Huailin was away on a mission for several months this time, and he came back late today, so his family didn't make him dinner.
Lu Huailin made no move, deliberately breathing on his wife's neck.
Seeing her sensitive neck shrink back, I couldn't resist kissing her.
Gu Yihan turned around and hugged Lu Huailin's waist to make it easier for him to move.
“da~”
The little guy was talking while tugging at the back of Gu Yihan's clothes, trying to use it to stand up.
Lu Huailin released his wife, sat up, picked up his son, and said with a smile, "Son, call me Dad."
The little one grabbed Lu Huailin's hair with his tiny hands and excitedly shouted, "ba~"
"Wife, our son can call me 'Dad' now!" Lu Huailin said excitedly.
Gu Yihan was delighted. The little guy was currently in the stage of imitating the sounds of the syllables, repeating the same few syllables all day long.
Lu Huailin showered his son with kisses on the face and said with a smile, "Son, smell if Dad smells good?"
Gu Yihan said irritably, "Hurry up and eat, you're still holding a grudge against the child."
Lu Huailin chuckled and said, "Wife, he needs to know that no matter how ugly I am, I'm still his father."
After saying that, she held the little guy in one arm and opened the lunchbox with the other.
Seeing the braised pork filling the pot warmed my heart.
"Wife, Grandma's braised pork is so delicious." Lu Huailin praised as he ate.
Gu Yihan took the little one from his arms and laughed, "Of course, you don't even know whose grandma she is."
The next day
After waking up, Gu Yihan felt like there was something she had forgotten.
When he saw Lu Huailin walk in, he suddenly slapped his forehead, quickly got out of bed, took out a letter from the cabinet and handed it to him.
"A letter from Beijing."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Lu Huailin reached out, took the letter, and opened it to read.
Seeing his increasingly grim expression, Gu Yihan knew that she no longer needed to concern herself with this matter.
Lu Huailin folded the letter and said, "Wife, I will talk to Dad about this."
Gu Yihan nodded.
...
Textile factory
After the Laba Festival, Su Yonghong returned to work when his arm had almost fully recovered.
When people in the office saw her, they were stunned.
Her face was haggard, her cheeks were sunken, and even without anyone reaching out to touch her, her loose clothes proved that she had been starving for a long time.
Minjie's eyes widened as she said, "It hasn't been that long, and you've been bullied like this by your family!"
Su Yonghong was no longer as aggressive as before. She smiled and said, "My stomach is not good, so I can't eat anything."
Gu Yihan and Hu Shan exchanged a glance but remained silent.
After all, compared to Sister Min, they didn't spend as much time with Su Yonghong.
When it was time for lunch, Hu Shan took Gu Yihan's arm and whispered, "Secretary Jiang wants to see you."
Gu Yihan asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Hu Shan shook her head: "I don't know, he didn't say."
Small canteen
Secretary Jiang glanced at Gu Yihan and said with a smile, "Our factory is going to expand its production lines."
Gu Yihan smiled and said, "It's great."
"Brother, could you please find me a different office soon?" Hu Shan whispered, rubbing her belly.
Secretary Jiang glared at Hu Shan: "There are no extra offices."
Cheng Bo and Secretary Jiang often work together and are quite familiar with each other, so they talk casually.
"Secretary Jiang, isn't Xiao Shan pregnant? She wants to change her environment."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan exclaimed happily, "You're pregnant?"
Hu Shan blushed slightly, nodded shyly, and explained, "Xiao Han, Sister Su always teases me, so I want to change offices."
Secretary Jiang frowned upon hearing Hu Shan's words: "Did she hit you? Or did she yell at you?"
Hu Shan pouted: "I didn't take anything, we just had a little argument."
Immediately, she took Secretary Jiang's arm and said coquettishly, "Cousin, please change my office for your little nephew."
Secretary Jiang withdrew her arm, her face turning cold.
He shouted sternly, "Nonsense!"
Hu Shan was startled by Secretary Jiang's voice, and tears streamed down her face.
Cheng Bo quickly pulled Hu Shan into his arms and gently comforted her.
He said to Secretary Jiang in an annoyed tone, "Cousin, can't we talk things out properly?"
Gu Yihan was also taken aback by Secretary Jiang's attitude.
Secretary Jiang ignored Cheng Bo's words and instead looked coldly at Hu Shan: "You've been spoiled rotten by your family!"
"You want to change offices just because of a quarrel? You must have quite the clout! You're even more powerful than the factory manager."
Hu Shan shouted, "That wasn't my office to begin with."
"What office do you have? You're just a typist, not irreplaceable!"
Hu Shan looked at Secretary Jiang in disbelief. She hadn't expected that she was so insignificant in her cousin's eyes.
"Brother, how could you say that to me!"
Secretary Jiang looked coldly at Hu Shan: "Did I say something wrong?"
"There are so many people in the factory, and they have to work in the same position for their whole lives. You want to spend money to give you an office just because of some personal grudge? You have a lot of nerve."
Hu Shan had never been belittled like this before. She was so angry that she pushed Cheng Bo away, covered her face, and ran out crying.
Caught off guard, Cheng Bo stumbled, but Gu Yihan caught him quickly.
Secretary Jiang was so angry with Hu Shan that her face turned red and the veins on her neck bulged.
He launched into a tirade against Cheng Bo: "With so many people in the factory, which worker doesn't argue?"
"You two are just being dramatic. You want to change offices just because you're pregnant? Does that mean you're pregnant because of the factory?"
Cheng Bo's face also turned cold. He hadn't expected that Secretary Jiang would show them, the couple, no respect in front of Director Gu.
"Secretary Jiang, what you said is a bit too much."
With a "smack," Secretary Jiang slammed her hand heavily on the table, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to vibrate and make a crisp sound.
Gu Yihan stared at the bowls and chopsticks dancing in front of her, feeling extremely embarrassed.
She never expected Secretary Jiang to get so angry. If he hadn't said he needed to talk to her, she would never have come to the small kitchen for dinner.
Cheng Bo was trembling with anger, gritting his teeth as he said, "Secretary Jiang, you're something else."
After glancing at Gu Yihan, he snorted coldly and left.
Gu Yihan poured a glass of water for Secretary Jiang, who was so angry she could hardly breathe.
He reassured her, "Secretary Jiang, there's no need for you to be so angry."
Secretary Jiang glanced at Gu Yihan and sneered, "They're testing my limits."
He picked up his water glass, took a sip, and continued, "This time we changed Hu Shan's office, next time we'll have to arrange rooms for them."
Gu Yihan didn't understand; the brother and sister usually seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
Why can't we just lay things out on the table? Why do we have to keep testing each other?
