The next day——
Su An slowly woke up to a warm fragrance.
She opened her eyes drowsily, took a moment to calm down, and sat up from the bed.
Then he saw a cup of hot milk on the bedside table next to him. It had a sweet smell and he knew it was made by Gu Jingchen.
In the past, she was the one who prepared these for him...
Su An couldn't help but recall the previous experience, then quickly suppressed his emotions and picked up his phone to check.
The screen was blank, with no phone calls or text messages from anyone.
She frowned, her heart in her throat again.
"An An, are you awake?"
Gu Jingchen suddenly walked in from outside, and when he saw her sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, a doting smile immediately appeared on the corner of his lips.
Su An nodded and was about to speak——
“Buzz!!!”
There was a sudden noise in Gu Jingchen's pocket.
Su An looked over subconsciously.
Then he took out his cell phone, glanced at the screen, and handed it directly to him.
"It's a hidden number. Guess...who it could be?"
Su An clenched his fists little by little without saying a word, but he already had the answer in his heart.
The phone is still vibrating.
Gu Jingchen didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer the call, letting the phone keep ringing in his palm until the last few seconds, when he picked up the phone, turned on the speakerphone and put it aside.
"Who?"
He deliberately lowered his voice to make it sound lazy, as if he had just woken up.
He raised his hand to his lips, signaling Su An not to make a sound.
The next second——
"Mr. Gu, I'm here to remind you that if you want to cooperate with Yahe, you'd better move faster."
A cold and even voice came from the other side, as if coming to pass on a message for the boss behind him.
Gu Jingchen's expression froze, a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up slightly.
He waited.
It seems that the other party is more anxious than he thought, and can't wait even for a day, let alone three days.
Thinking of this, he snorted softly.
Then he said calmly, "You are not qualified to talk to me about this. I didn't promise you anything yesterday. If you want to talk about Yahe, let the people behind you come to me."
"you……"
Leng Yun seemed to be surprised by his response and was stunned for a moment.
Gu Jingchen didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued, "You don't really think that I care about that child, do you?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone!
Just like Leng Yun treated him yesterday.
In an urgent situation, Gu Jingchen felt his fingertips suddenly tighten!
"Gu Jingchen, what did you mean by that last sentence?"
Su An pressed the back of his hand tightly, and her lips trembled slightly.
Is this the outcome that Gu Jingchen made her wait for?
Doesn't he care at all about what those people will do to his child?
Su An's eyes gradually grew colder as he looked at Gu Jingchen, and his ears began to buzz.
Once the issue of children is involved, she always loses all her composure in an instant.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchen quickly pulled his hand away and put his arm around her shoulders.
Whispered, "An An, this is just a test..."
"test?"
Su An looked up at him in confusion.
"Um."
Gu Jingchen nodded. "I think... the fact that they attach so much importance to Yahe's research shows that this result is very important to them, even more important than you. If that's the case, we can use this to take back some of the initiative, because there is one thing they took for granted from the beginning."
"What……"
Su An still looked at Gu Jingchen with some confusion, as if she understood what he was saying, but also seemed to understand nothing.
Gu Jingchen paused slightly, his eyes suddenly becoming gentle and deep as he met Su An's eyes.
"I think the other party was so confident in using the child to threaten us. They must have thought that since I sent so many people to find you, I must love you very much..."
When he said this, he suddenly paused for a moment, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
Then he continued, "He guessed right about this. I am indeed trying my best to find the person I love the most..."
Su An's eyes began to dodge, but his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly for a moment because of his words.
Gu Jingchen continued, "So they subconsciously think that because I love you so much, I must care about our child too. This way, they can take absolute initiative and use it to threaten us. But...what if everything is different from what they think?"
Su An's trembling heart slowly calmed down because of his last words, and his brows twisted a little bit.
If... everything is different from what he expected?
She seemed to understand something.
Gu Jingchen smiled and tidied up the hair around her ears. "The success of Yahe's research must be more important to that person than the child. So...if I show that I don't care, then he will try to negotiate with me. Do you understand?"
Su An nodded subconsciously. Although there was still some confusion in his eyes, he finally reacted.
Just then—
“Buzz!!!”
Su An's phone suddenly vibrated!
She was startled and subconsciously grabbed the phone, still seeing a string of hidden garbled characters.
"Answer it, put it on speakerphone, I won't say anything, just like before."
Gu Jingchen signaled Su An with his eyes not to worry.
Su An took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
As soon as the call was connected——
"Su An..."
A male voice with a changed voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su An's eyes suddenly widened and looked at Gu Jingchen.
It's him!
It’s the boss behind Leng Yun!
Gu Jingchen understood what Su An meant from her expression, nodded, and motioned her to talk to the other party.
"Um."
Su An pursed her lips and then responded softly.
Then I heard the man on the other end of the phone sigh.
"Why……"
He seemed to be very regretful, and said slowly, "I originally thought you could handle this, but now it seems that you have obviously disappointed me..."
"What do you want to say?"
Su An was in no mood to waste time talking to him, so he asked in a deep voice.
"Oh……"
The man on the phone chuckled, and the next second—
“Wow!!!”
Suddenly, a baby's cry came from the receiver.
"What are you doing! What have you done to my child!!!"
Su An's eyes widened instantly, and Gu Jingchen's expression beside him also suddenly became stern, with veins on the back of his hands bulging!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The man on the phone laughed twice.
Then he said calmly, "I don't care whether Gu Jingchen cares about this child or not, but if it's you, you definitely can't not care, right? Since you care, then find a way to get Gu Jingchen into Yahe as soon as possible. I'll wait for your good news."
