Chapter 201 In case of emergency, call for your husband.
The next day, it was broad daylight.
When Gu Xingnian woke up, the bed beside her was empty, with only a little warmth remaining.
She had just sat up when her phone rang.
It was Ling Zhong's call.
"Miss Gu, the old gentleman is in particularly good spirits today. Would you like to come and see him?"
Gu Xingnian agreed, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
After hanging up, she dialed Sheng Weiwei's number again.
It rang several times before being answered, and a soft, slightly dazed voice came from the other end.
"Hello……"
"Lazybones, wake up!"
"I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep..." Sheng Weiwei turned over in bed, her voice filled with drowsiness.
Gu Xingnian laughed when she heard this.
"Then you can continue sleeping. I'll come back for lunch."
She paused, then added, "I'll have breakfast delivered to your room."
"Oh, you're so nice." Sheng Weiwei said, and then hung up the phone.
Bai Yu delivered breakfast to Sheng Weiwei.
He stood at the door, holding a tray, and rang the doorbell for a long time.
No one answered the door.
There was no sound from inside.
Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition surged up.
He didn't have time to think about anything else, and immediately took out the spare room card from his pocket and swiped it to open the door with a "beep".
As soon as I entered, I saw a little bundle curled up on the small bed.
She kicked the blanket to the foot of the bed, leaving her two slender, snow-white legs exposed to the cool air.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he walked over quietly.
"Weiwei," he called out in a low voice.
The person on the bed stirred and mumbled incoherently.
"Don't make a sound..."
Bai Yu bent down and reached out to shake her awake. His fingertips had barely touched her arm when he was startled by the burning heat and his heart skipped a beat.
It's too hot!
He immediately reached out to touch her forehead, and the heat made him lose his composure.
He quickly pulled out his phone, made a call, and his voice was tense.
"Send a doctor over here, immediately!"
That's right, Sheng Weiwei has a fever.
The temperature reading was 39.3 degrees Celsius.
It could be from catching a chill in the middle of the night, or it could be from not being used to the new environment.
Bai Yu stared at that number, his heart clenching.
He specifically told the doctor, "She's pregnant, 10 weeks along."
After hearing this, the doctor only dared to prescribe some oral liquid with few side effects, and instructed her to mainly use physical cooling methods before leaving.
Bai Yu sat on the edge of the bed, holding an alcohol swab.
He held her small hand and carefully wiped her palm with a cotton ball.
Her face was flushed red, her lips were chapped, and her brows were furrowed.
After wiping her hands, he went to wipe her feet.
Finally, his gaze fell on the neckline of her pajamas.
He unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, and gently wiped her burning skin with a cotton ball soaked in cool alcohol, moving it downwards.
He felt a strange heat rising within him, and his breathing became heavy.
He then carefully turned her to the side and wiped her back.
After doing all this, he poured a glass of warm water and fed it to her little by little with a small spoon.
She suddenly woke up once in the middle of it.
His eyes were half-open, filled with moisture, and completely unfocused.
She grabbed his hand, holding it tightly.
"Warlord..."
She called that name over and over again, her voice hoarse.
"I miss you... Waaaaah..."
"Where did you go? Weiwei, I miss you..."
The next second, she burst into tears without warning, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.
Bai Yu's heart ached so much it felt like it was about to break.
He pulled her into his arms, held her tightly, and gently stroked her back, coaxing her with a tenderness he had never shown before.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here, I've always been here."
After crying for a long time, the baby in my arms gradually stopped crying and fell into a deep sleep again.
When Sheng Weiwei woke up again, her fever had subsided.
She stared blankly at the ceiling above her head, her eyes wide open.
My mind is a mess; it feels like I had a very, very long dream.
Bai Yu appeared in my dream.
He kissed her and hugged her.
They've gone mad.
She slapped her head hard, trying to banish the man's face from her mind.
Meanwhile, Gu Xingnian hailed a car at the hotel entrance and headed straight for the First Hospital, following the location sent by Ling Zhong.
The car drove through the bustling city center and headed west.
Sudden.
squeak--
With a sharp screech of brakes, the car lurched forward.
Gu Xingnian instinctively covered her stomach with her hands, and her body lurched forward.
The driver cursed, leaned out to look, and then said something to her.
"Excuse me, I rear-ended someone. I'll get out of the car and deal with it."
After saying that, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Gu Xingnian checked the navigation; it was still seven or eight kilometers to the hospital.
She immediately dialed Ling Zhong's number.
"I've run into a problem. My car was rear-ended and I'm stuck in traffic."
"Stay where you are and don't move. I'll send a car to pick you up," Ling Zhong said calmly.
Gu Xingnian hung up the phone.
The driver in front was arguing with the driver of the car in front of him, spitting as they spoke.
She simply pushed open the door and got out of the car, wanting to get some fresh air.
A long line of cars had already formed behind us, with horns blaring incessantly.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of four or five men, all wearing black masks, casually approaching her from the sidewalk.
Their target is her.
Gu Xingnian's pupils suddenly contracted.
An ominous premonition instantly gripped her heart.
Without saying a word, she turned around and ran wildly in the opposite direction.
really.
The footsteps behind them immediately quickened, and several men were chasing closely behind.
Could it be that Jiang Kexin orchestrated this again?
That crazy woman is like a persistent ghost.
No, this absolutely cannot happen. I need to deal with her properly tonight!
Fear was like countless cold hands, enveloping her from all sides, almost suffocating her.
She ran forward recklessly, and at that moment, she began to hate herself for not having trained her physical fitness well when she was in school.
At that very moment,
A familiar figure appeared in the crowd ahead.
The man stood in the middle of the road, his figure as straight as a pine tree, the surrounding noise becoming his backdrop.
He saw her, took long strides, and walked straight toward her.
At that moment, he was like a ray of light tearing through endless darkness.
Gu Xingnian was both surprised and delighted, and almost blurted it out.
"Fu Beichen!"
Fu Beichen opened his arms.
Like a bird returning to its nest, she flew straight into his arms.
His strong chest, warm embrace, and his refreshing, pleasant scent instantly soothed all her fear.
Finally, she hugged him.
This embrace brought her immense peace of mind.
He gently patted her back with his strong hand, and his deep voice sounded in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you."
His tone carried a calming power.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes, and his gentle gaze instantly turned sharp.
He spoke to the air in an unquestionable tone, ordering, "Surround them, don't let any of them escape, including those two drivers."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly, seven or eight bodyguards in black appeared out of nowhere and swiftly surrounded the chasing men and the two drivers who were still arguing.
The situation was brought under control instantly.
Gu Xingnian was stunned.
Before she could react, Fu Beichen scooped her up in his arms and strode towards a black Maybach parked by the roadside.
He looked down at her, who was still a little dazed in his arms, and his tone was tinged with helplessness.
"Have you forgotten everything Lynch taught you?"
"In case of emergency, just shout 'Thunderstorm,' and you'll be surrounded by my men."
Gu Xingnian paused for a moment, then remembered.
She was a little embarrassed, but she didn't hold back, saying, "I was too scared just now and didn't think of it for a moment."
She paused, then muttered a complaint under her breath.
"Besides... this slogan sounds awful, it's too silly."
Fu Beichen paused, then surprisingly nodded. "Indeed."
He carried her into the car, leaned close to her, and his warm breath brushed against her cheek.
"Then change it to husband."
"From now on, whenever you encounter an emergency, just call out 'husband,' and I'll appear immediately, okay?"
His eyes were filled with endless doting affection, and his voice carried a clear coaxing tone.
Gu Xingnian rolled her eyes at him, but her ears turned red.
"This sounds even worse, I don't want it."
He frowned. "Unpleasant to listen to?"
He leaned closer, almost whispering in her ear, "Why don't you try it, let me hear it."
Gu Xingnian was amused by him, "Dream on."
He looked at her smiling eyes and his Adam's apple bobbed.
The next second, a burning kiss pressed down on her impatiently, with an undeniable force mixed with extreme tenderness, constantly coaxing her.
But she hasn't given in yet; this time she's really being stubborn!
In the end, Gu Xingnian did not go to the hospital to see the old man. Fu Beichen forcibly took her back to the hotel and went directly to the presidential suite. He had slept on that small bed yesterday, and it had made his whole body ache.
No one knows how he acted like a rogue in the room, kissing her relentlessly and almost getting off to a dangerous situation several times.
He went out after receiving a phone call around lunchtime.
Gu Xingnian went to have lunch with Sheng Weiwei. She was unaware that she had a fever and only felt that she was too tired, so she took a nap.
That evening, they changed into beautiful dresses, and Bai Yu personally came to pick them up and take them to the Bai family's family recognition banquet.
The car drove smoothly into the Bai Family Manor.
This isn't a manor; it's practically a magnificent palace.
The massive building complex, covering 300,000 square meters, is located in the prime eastern suburbs of the capital city, where land is incredibly valuable. The sheer scale of this project is enough to leave people speechless.
The Bai family is undoubtedly the most prestigious and powerful family in the capital.
The old man abandoned politics to go into business and managed to amass this enormous wealth.
The current head of the family, Bai Xun, holds a high position and wields considerable power.
His wife, Zhuang Linyue, comes from a scholarly family; her father was a leading figure in the world of traditional Chinese painting, and the family is equally wealthy.
This background is simply a top-tier combination of powerful forces, which is astonishing.
Tonight, the entire manor is brightly lit, as bright as day.
One after another, top-of-the-line luxury cars drove in quietly, filling the huge parking lot on the right side of the main house.
With hundreds of luxury cars, encompassing almost all well-known brands, it was practically a mobile auto show.
Above, the roar of propellers grew louder as two private helicopters slowly landed on the distant helipad.
The scale was enormous.
The Bai family's reunion banquet, held to reunite their daughter who had been missing for eighteen years, was so grand that it garnered nationwide attention.
This is not just a happy occasion.
It also represents a reshuffling of the upper echelons of Beijing's elite circles.
All the young talents who received the invitations dressed up for the occasion, eager to establish a connection with the Bai family.
Moreover, the identity of this eldest daughter of the Bai family is no longer a secret.
She is none other than Jiang Kexin, a top-tier actress who is currently extremely popular.
She's known in the industry for her workaholic nature, and apart from a recent rumored affair with Fu, she's received almost zero negative reviews.
He is of good character and has an excellent reputation.
With her stunningly beautiful face, and now the added identity of the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she's practically transformed from a canary into a golden phoenix.
The single men at the scene were all eager to make their moves, their eyes filled with undisguised ambition.
Whoever wins her favor is destined for greatness.
Shortly after, two understated yet luxurious cars came to a stop in front of the main house.
Bai Yu personally got out of the car, walked around to the other side, and opened the car door in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
Two beautiful figures stepped out of the car one after the other.
The moment Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei stepped into the banquet hall, they both held their breath for a second.
That's too luxurious.
A huge crystal chandelier cascaded down from the dome on the third floor, illuminating the entire hall with dazzling light.
On the east and west sides of the hall, there were two long rows of famous paintings, all of which were priceless originals.
The central area was transformed into a dance floor, surrounded by precious flowers flown in from abroad, their rich fragrance floating in the air, strong yet not cloying.
A moment of silence fell over the room when the guests saw the two beautiful women walking in.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Gu Xingnian is aloof and elegant, while Sheng Weiwei is radiant and beautiful. Standing together, they each have their own unique charm, yet both are breathtakingly beautiful.
Many men, holding wine glasses, were eager to approach and strike up a conversation.
However, Bai Yu was standing right next to Sheng Weiwei.
He did nothing, he just stood there casually, and his tall figure and powerful aura spontaneously formed a barrier, making those who were eager to make a move hesitate.
The crowd could only whisper among themselves from a distance.
"Who is that woman? She was actually brought by Young Master Bai himself."
"Never seen her before, but her looks... wow, is she Young Master Bai's girlfriend?"
The butler hurried over, leaned close to Bai Yu's ear, and whispered something.
Bai Yu nodded slightly and turned to Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian.
"You all do as you please, I'll be right back."
"I'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, he turned around and strode up to the second floor.
Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei walked to the famous paintings section.
Sheng Weiwei looked at the painting and was so excited she felt like she could fly away.
"Holy crap, the lighting and the brushstrokes are amazing! It's truly worthy of being an original!"
"If my graduation thesis can analyze this painting, my supervisor will be so impressed that he'll kneel down and thank me."
Sheng Weiwei studied fine arts, and looking at famous paintings was no different from a fan meeting their idol. Her eyes were full of light, and she kept praising them as she walked forward, following the paintings with their rich colors.
Gu Xingnian, however, did not react.
Her steps naturally slowed down, and she finally stopped in front of a minimalist painting.
That painting stood out from the other works around it.
On the white rice paper, there was only a pair of small black footprints, with a few messy little handprints next to them.
There's no skill involved in drawing.
It looks like it was just printed on randomly; it's excessively rough.
But the title of the painting is two powerful characters: "Beloved".
In the lower left corner, there is also Zhuang Moyu's vermilion seal.
It blatantly tells everyone that this is a masterpiece by a master.
Gu Xingnian's gaze was fixed on those tiny, innocent footprints.
My mind went blank.
A scene suddenly appeared, startling her...
