Chapter 59: Will You Breathe?
Where are the people?
Where did Shen Sisi and Niuniu go?
The half-sized bedroom could be seen at a glance. The bedding on the bed showed obvious signs of having been pressed, but the person was gone.
At this moment, a faint rustling sound was heard from the half-open door next door.
"Mom, the child is used to sleeping with me, so I'll do it!"
"What are you doing? Isn't it crowded for three people to sleep in one bed?"
"It's really okay. The bed is very big and not crowded at all..." Shen Sisi didn't expect that when she went to pour the foot washing water, Niu Niu was carried to the small room by Xu Hongying.
When she came back, Niu Niu had already been tucked into the quilt.
Xu Hongying stood guarding the door like a door god. No matter what, she would not let Niuniu disturb the young couple today.
Shen Sisi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She wanted to rush over and take Niu Niu away, but she couldn't get over Xu Hongying's various obstructions.
She knitted her brows tightly together, a big frown forming between them. "Mom, Niuniu has loved hitting the quilt when she sleeps since she was a child. She's weak and sweats a lot at night. I have to get up in the middle of the night to wipe her sweat off. Occasionally, she even has to urinate at night. It's really tiring."
"You are old, and your body will not be able to bear getting up at night like this."
Xu Hongying waved her hand and pushed her to the door without saying anything. "What's so hard about that? I've raised three children by myself. It's just getting up at night to cover them with the quilt, wipe their sweat, and help them pee. It's not that difficult."
"Don't forget your most important task right now - to quickly conceive a child for my Gu family."
Shen Sisi was feeling anxious. This Xu Hongying was really stubborn and no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she was always immersed in her own world.
She was too lazy to waste her breath, so she looked over Xu Hongying's shoulder and tried to place her hopes on Niu Niu.
"Niuniu, you want to sleep with your mother, right?"
Niuniu hid under the quilt, revealing a pair of big, sparkling eyes: "I want to sleep with Mommy, but... I want a brother or sister more!"
Shen Sisi's face suddenly turned as red as a boiler, the expectation on her face slowly disappeared, and her expression became complicated and difficult to discern.
What on earth did Xu Hongying say to Niuniu?
Niu Niu has been in poor health since childhood and has few friends. She dreams of having a little playmate.
When Niu Niu heard Xu Hongying say that as long as she slept with her grandmother, her parents would give her a little brother or sister, she immediately hugged Xu Hongying's neck and let her be carried to the small bed next door.
Xu Hongying smiled complacently: "Okay, stop dawdling and go to sleep!"
Without saying anything, she gently pushed Shen Sisi until she was pushed out the door: "Go to sleep, I will take good care of this little girl."
Shen Sisi's mind was empty as she silently sorted out the fragments in her heart.
It seems that mom is serious about this.
It's not just talk...
Shen Sisi looked depressed, listless, nervous and worried.
Decadence and lethargy are for Gu Chengfeng.
Xu Hongying was unaware of his injury and was still looking forward to the birth of her eldest grandson.
As long as the child is not born, Xu Hongying will have to live here forever.
After a long time, it will be exposed.
What should Gu Chengfeng do then...
As for the nervousness and worry, it was because of Niuniu.
For the past three years, Niu Niu has been with her every day. Suddenly, there is no little person by her side, and she feels empty in her heart.
I don’t know if Xu Hongying, who is so careless, can take good care of Niu Niu.
Niu Niu's health has just improved, she can't get sick again.
In the darkness, Gu Chengfeng looked at the standing woman. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and the look in his eyes became increasingly cold.
"My mother is like this, she is decisive and only cares about herself. I will find an opportunity tomorrow and bring Niuniu back."
Gu Chengfeng stared at her motionlessly as he spoke. Seeing that she was wearing only a single layer of clothing, and her graceful figure made the loose, thin cotton shirt look curvy, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heat and was stunned for a few seconds.
Shen Sisi sighed helplessly, this was the only way.
She was not wearing a coat, and when the cold wind blew, her nose suddenly felt itchy and she sneezed.
Gu Chengfeng's heart trembled, and the coat in his hand was covered on Shen Sisi's shoulders the next second: "It's cold at night, get under the quilt quickly, and leave the rest to me..."
Shen Sisi wrapped herself tightly in the wide robe, not quite understanding what the rest of the story meant.
But he still obediently turned around and went into the house, curled up into a small body, and huddled into the quilt.
Gu Chengfeng stood there for a few more seconds to let the scorching heat from his body dissipate before stepping into the room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Sisi taking off the gold necklace and gold bracelet on her body and handing them to him.
"You are..." Shen Che's voice was questioning.
Shen Sisi raised her head: "This gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Gu Chengfeng didn't accept it. He just slowly lowered his eyes to look at her, frowning slightly: "What I give to you is yours. There is no reason to take it back."
"But we are... fake, not a real couple." Shen Sisi reminded him softly. Maybe he was too immersed in the role during this period and Gu Chengfeng forgot that they were just a couple by agreement!
Gu Chengfeng's face was frighteningly gloomy. He stood beside the bed with a low mood, his tightly closed thin lips looking extremely cold.
"You don't have to remind me..."
The turbulent waves hidden beneath his calm appearance were all seen by Shen Sisi.
Did she say something wrong? Why was Gu Chengfeng so angry?
"Gu Chengfeng, I'm serious. This is the jewelry your family gave to your wife. I can't accept it."
She tried to stretch her hand forward a little further, but was pushed back by a big hand.
The ice-cold big hand was filled with bone-chilling coldness.
"Chen Sisi, as long as you are my wife for one day, these gold necklaces and gold bracelets are all yours, unless... you are not my wife, then it won't be too late to reject me."
Of course, he would not let this day come.
Shen Sisi also felt that what he said made sense.
She is now under Xu Hongying's nose all day long, so it would be better for her to take the gold jewelry out for a walk occasionally so that it won't be easily discovered.
"Okay, leave this set of jewelry with me for now." Shen Sisi carefully wrapped it in red cloth and put it in the drawer beside the bed.
Seeing her stay, Gu Chengfeng's low mood finally dissipated. He grabbed the quilt and lifted a corner. Just as he was about to sit on it, he heard a very faint sound of footsteps coming from next door.
Just as Shen Sisi was about to speak, Gu Chengfeng made a gesture to her to silence her.
Sure enough, the footsteps stopped stealthily at their door.
Shen Sisi stared at the thin door panel. Is the old lady... eavesdropping?
She immediately looked at the man beside her, but was met with a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes that were slightly raised.
"Will you...breathe?" His voice was hoarse, and it carried a seductive aura in the night, which made her heart tighten.
asthma?
