[Did you receive my message? You must not get bumped into by Gu Jiju, understand!]
[Sode, what are you doing! If Gu Jiju finds out, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't let me get involved!]
No matter how many messages Bai Lan sent, there was no response from the other side.
Sode didn't respond, leaving Bai Lan helpless.
Gu Jiju downstairs just happened to notice that Bai Lan had been staying in the bathroom for too long.
This made the always vigilant Gu Jiju immediately ask, "Bai Lan? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
This seemingly caring sentence actually contains a hidden meaning.
This also made Bai Lan nervous, and he had to lie to deal with it.
"I'm fine! I'll be right down!"
Aunt Zhang cooks very quickly and prepares a lot of semi-finished products from outside.
In just half an hour, the family was sitting at the dining table ready to eat.
Bai Lan was extremely enthusiastic, even making Aunt Zhang and Xiaotian feel uncomfortable.
"Aunt Zhang, you sit down too!"
In front of Gu Jiju, Bai Lan tried her best to create an image of a "good wife and mother" for herself.
Not only that, Bai Lan is warm, gentle, and patient with the servants.
This is what Bai Lan wanted Gu Jiju to see.
This was the look she tried her best to maintain.
Gu Jiju glanced at the other person with disdain, and the emotion in his eyes was particularly strange.
"You eat first and don't worry about others. I came here today just to talk to you about the child. I'll go back when we're done. I won't stay here for too long."
"I see..."
As long as Gu Jiju leaves, Sode will be able to come back safely.
Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Then tell me, if you have any other opinions or solutions, I can accept them as long as they are for the good of the child."
Bai Lan had a serious expression, waiting for Gu Jiju's next words.
The man glanced at Xiaotian, then stared at Bai Lan for a long time, as if waiting for Bai Lan to reveal something during the conversation.
"I haven't contacted a specific school yet, but I plan to send Xiaotian to a bilingual school. The teachers there are good, and it will also help him improve his spoken English. If you don't mind, I'll ask my secretary to arrange it tomorrow."
"I have no objection!"
Bai Lan will not give Xiaotian a good life.
But it would be different if Gu Jiju came to lead it.
As long as he can escape from Soder, Gu Jiju will do whatever he wants.
Bai Lan smiled flatteringly, trying her best to please Gu Jiju.
This made Gu Jiju have an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
"Then it's settled. If you have any opinions, tell me later and I'll contact the school."
"Ji Ju..."
Gu Jiju's sudden thoughtfulness instantly ignited Bai Lan's hope.
In the past, a word of concern from Gu Jiju would make Bai Lan happy for several days, not to mention that he cared so much about Xiaotian.
She called Gu Jiju's name softly, and the man turned to look at Bai Lan.
"What's up?"
"We've been engaged for such a long time, and you've never been around. The child misses you too. Why don't you come back and live with us when you have the chance? We can be together as a family, okay?"
Gu Jiju was not moved by Bai Lan's words.
He even raised his eyebrows, with a noticeable layer of gloom covering his brows.
"No time."
This one sentence seemed to extinguish all of Bai Lan's hopes.
The woman twitched her lips, her eyes full of disbelief.
"But……"
"No buts, I'm really busy at the company. You're free, but I'm not. That's all for today. I still have projects to deal with at the company."
After he finished speaking, Gu Jiju stood up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the door of the villa was suddenly pushed open at this moment.
Gu Jiju subconsciously stopped, and Bai Lan beside him also stood there in a daze.
I saw Sode walking slowly towards me, carrying a shoulder bag and some snacks in his hands, with a smile on his face that had not disappeared.
This made Bai Lan's scalp tingle and her body became stiff.
"white……"
Sode opened his mouth, but before he could utter two words he was interrupted by Gu Jiju's gaze.
Looking over, Gu Jiju was sitting in the restaurant. He stood up, crossed his arms over his chest, and stared at Soder.
"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu."
Gu Jiju glared at him, her vigilance and alienation were particularly obvious.
"Thord? How come you're here?"
This villa belongs to Gu Jiju. Bai Lan cannot bring anyone in without his permission.
Not to mention that Soder can come and go freely, he even has the key and password to open the door.
This made Gu Jiju instantly doubt the relationship between the two.
Sode didn't know how to explain, but Bai Lan beside him was so scared that she immediately spoke up for Sode.
"He...he came here to deliver something. He'll leave after putting it down!"
"What?"
Glancing sideways, Thord indeed had a bag of snacks in his hand.
When it was placed on the dining table, Bai Lan immediately explained, "I asked him to buy some snacks for Xiaotian. He's a little late now, Ji Ju, please don't misunderstand."
Gu Jiju would not have misunderstood, but looking at Sode's evasive eyes, Gu Jiju always felt that something was wrong.
"How did he know the password to the villa?"
Bai Lan gasped, his hands clenched into fists in fear, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his palms.
Sode noticed Bai Lan's worry and immediately stepped forward to explain, "Miss Bai is often away from the villa, and Xiaotian still needs someone to take care of him. Since I'm Miss Bai's driver, I should come over to take care of him and help Miss Bai share the burden."
"Yeah?"
Sode nodded repeatedly, fearing that Gu Jiju would misunderstand.
