Chapter 1168: Peace before the Nightmare
The child dreams that his parents don’t want him, which means he is extremely insecure. Gu Wanqiu doesn’t know how to comfort him.
The nightmares Siyan had were common dreams. Maybe one day... she would really abandon him.
Gu Wanqiu didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
Si Yan patted his brother's shoulder sensibly: "Don't be afraid, brother. It was all a dream. The video said that dreams and reality are opposites. Dad will not abandon us. And we have Aunt Gu now. Aunt Gu is like our mother. She will always treat us well and will not disappear suddenly." After saying that, he turned to Gu Wanqiu and asked, "Don't you agree, Aunt Gu?"
Gu Wanqiu's heart sank, and there was a slight movement in her abdomen again, as if it was responding to her.
Gu Wanqiu pulled the corners of her lips stiffly, without answering. She just stroked the two children's heads and changed the subject: "Is lunch ready? I'm already hungry."
"It's ready. Uncle Wang has already prepared lunch."
"So what's delicious for lunch today?" Gu Wanqiu easily changed the topic of the two children.
Li Siyan rushed to answer, "I made sweet and sour pork ribs, old hen soup, and lots of vegetables, including my favorite shredded potatoes."
"That's what I like to eat too. Looks like I can eat two more bowls of rice at noon today."
"Auntie Gu, you didn't have breakfast today, so you should eat two more bowls of rice."
At noon, there was no difference from usual. On weekdays, Gu Wanqiu would take a nap after lunch, but she didn't sleep today, after all, she had just woken up.
In addition, she was supposed to study the materials Li Jinxing gave her in the afternoon, but she hadn't read them yet.
because
She knew that it was useless to read it. Even if she memorized it thoroughly and wrote it all down, Li Jinxing would not take her to work.
At first, Gu Wanqiu thought that Li Jinxing started to doubt her because he didn't take her with him. Now that she thinks about it, this suspicion was not the case at all. She deceived Li Jinxing, and Li Jinxing also deceived her.
When would Li Jinxing tell her about her pregnancy? When her belly got bigger, or when she was about to give birth?
Gu Wanqiu sat on the balcony and opened a window. The cold wind rushed in and blew on her body, making her feel cold and painful, and also woke her up from the cold.
Gu Wanqiu was most afraid of the cold, and everyone in the villa knew that she was afraid of the cold. When they saw her open the window, the servants hurried over to close it.
"Miss Gu, why did you open the window? The heat in the room is about to escape."
"I feel a little stuffy and want some fresh air."
"It's okay to let in some ventilation, but you should at least wear more clothes. You're wearing so little. If you catch a cold, Mr. Li will blame us..." The servant had just finished speaking when he met Gu Wanqiu's cold eyes.
"Why should I blame you? It's my freedom to do what I want. Even if I really have a cold, it's my fault. What does it have to do with you?"
That being said, they took the money just to take good care of Gu Wanqiu. If they couldn't even take good care of one person, Li Jinxing would inevitably be angry.
Gu Wanqiu found that she was a little out of control. This kind of strange emotion shouldn't happen. She should behave as usual, magnanimous, generous, and obedient, instead of being so stubborn and sarcastic like today.
"Auntie Gu, are you going to study today?"
Siyan's voice came from somewhere, and he was jogging towards me holding his brother's hand.
"I don't want to learn anymore."
The two brothers were a little surprised that Gu Wanqiu suddenly gave up studying. If Gu Wanqiu wanted to study, they would also read quietly with a book by the side.
Gu Wanqiu explained, "My mental state isn't very good. I can't concentrate on studying. Forcing myself to study isn't very efficient. I might as well rest and spend some time with you guys."
When they heard that Gu Wanqiu was going to accompany them, the two brothers couldn't hide their joy on their faces and were very happy to have her accompany them.
"It's time for you to take a nap. Go upstairs to your room and I'll tell you a story. When you wake up, we'll play some games and then wait for your dad to come back."
"Okay!" The two brothers raised their hands in agreement.
Recently, it has not been easy to get Gu Wanqiu to play with them. A few days ago, Gu Wanqiu buried herself in her study materials and didn't even tell them a bedtime story.
Si Yan and Si Xu know a lot of words. Even for words they don’t know, they can spell out the pinyin and look up the words in the dictionary. They have already read all the storybooks in the room and don’t need others to tell them stories.
But they still like Gu Wanqiu to tell them stories. What is important is not the story itself, but the fact that the person telling the story is their mother. Their mother's voice is not pleasant, but it is very reassuring to listen to.
Looking at the two children sleeping soundly on the bed, Gu Wanqiu approached cautiously and kissed each of them on the forehead. She did not leave, but lay in the middle and hugged them.
I don’t know how long this leisure time can last. For her, the more beautiful things are, the easier they are to break.
Cherish the present, and the future... I'm afraid it will be gone tomorrow.
