That night, Ji Shuyu hardly slept, and just lay sideways looking at the sleeping Gu Xiuyuan.
He was sleeping soundly.
She reached out her hand, wanting to touch his face, but before she could do so, she suddenly remembered what he had said when he was drunk: Don't touch me.
The arm suddenly retracted...
When Gu Xiuyuan woke up, it was just dawn.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I met a pair of eyes and was startled for a moment.
"Xiaoyu, why did you wake up so early?" He stretched out his arms and hugged her. "Can't sleep?"
"No, I just woke up."
Her voice was a little hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot, obviously she didn't sleep well.
"Why don't you kiss me if you can't sleep?" He kissed her forehead.
"You look so tired." She murmured.
"Go get some sleep!" Gu Xiuyuan patted her shoulder gently, "I'll stay with you."
Ji Shuyu agreed softly.
Gu Xiuyuan noticed that she was in a bad mood, but he just thought it was due to anxiety and sensitivity during pregnancy.
He patted her back gently, feeling guilty and distressed.
Seeing her like this, he suddenly didn't know how to tell her about his business trip at the end of the month.
"Do you have something to say?" Ji Shuyu didn't open her eyes.
"No, go to sleep!"
He kissed her forehead gently, and then got up gently after she "fell asleep".
Hearing the sound of the bedroom door closing, Ji Shuyu slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the closed door, my eyes suddenly felt sore.
She shook her head, got up, took a shower, had breakfast, and then distracted herself before her mood fell.
"Ji Shuyu, don't let your imagination run wild."
Didn't I say that compared to what others say or my own suspicions, I should trust Xiu Yuan more...?
Standing in front of the mirror, she washed her face with cold water.
I tried hard to regulate my emotions, asked Muran to go out and play, and took my aunt shopping.
Gu Xiuyuan still goes out early and comes back late every day, and most of the time he comes back after taking a shower and changing clothes.
He said he was worried that the smell on him was too strong and would make her feel uncomfortable.
She had tried to get closer once more, but he... asked her not to make a fuss, saying that he didn't want to do it now.
…
After working overtime for several consecutive days, Gu Xiuyuan was almost too busy to sleep.
Finally one day I was able to go home early and squeeze out a day to spend time with her.
When coming out of the elevator, Gu Xiuyuan sniffed his clothes to make sure there was no smell of cigarettes or alcohol before entering the room.
"Xiao Yu."
He called out, but there was no response. Finally, he found Ji Shuyu in the baby room, staring out the window in a daze.
"Why are you here? Where's your aunt?"
Ji Shuyu was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. A large bouquet of champagne roses appeared in front of her.
"I'm going to buy some groceries." She took the flowers and then turned to look at Gu Xiuyuan, "Why are you out so early today?"
"I don't have much to do today, so I came back early." He hugged her and said, "Let's go out for dinner today!"
"Why do you want to leave suddenly?"
"Didn't you want to eat out last time, but you had an engagement and couldn't turn it down?" He rubbed her head. "Let's eat out today, and I'll make time to accompany you tomorrow."
Ji Shuyu looked at Gu Xiuyuan without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xiuyuan smiled, "Xiaoyu, are you worried about something?"
She has been in a bad mood recently.
He wasn't sure if it was still because of what happened in the office.
Ji Shuyu shook her head. "No, it's rare for you to come back early, so you should have a good rest!"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Xiuyuan felt that her face looked strange, "Or are you in a bad mood?"
"No." She laughed. "Aren't you very busy? How can you be so extravagant as to free up a day?"
Gu Xiuyuan was stunned by what he said.
"Is there something you want to say?"
Gu Xiuyuan listened and clenched his arms, but didn't seem to know how to start.
"A business trip?"
Gu Xiuyuan nodded, then sighed softly.
"It will take a little longer this time." He held her hand reluctantly, "At least twenty days."
So long...
"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry I can't be with you at this time." He kissed her cheek lightly.
"It's okay, you're here for work too!" She smiled a little reluctantly, then gently pushed him away, "Then I'll help you pack your things first."
Originally, this was normal communication, but Gu Xiuyuan felt that these words had a different meaning when they came out of her mouth.
She turned around and he caught up with her in a few steps.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"
"No, pregnant women are emotionally unstable. It's okay." She turned and looked at him. "Your eyes are all black and blue. Go get some sleep!"
Gu Xiuyuan held her and didn't let go, but he kept looking at her, trying to see through her thoughts.
"Xiaoyu, if there's anything we want to talk about, why don't we just be frank and honest?"
Ji Shuyu lowered her eyes and spoke frankly?
"Are you still bothered by..."
"Is she here too?" she interrupted, not wanting him to mention what happened in the office.
She was referring to herself as Huo Yuxuan.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned slightly.
So, she still cares about what happened that day.
This is also one of the reasons why he never knew how to explain the business trip.
"She's with the Huo family's working group, and we can't say anything."
As the person in charge of the company, he couldn't just say that the project wouldn't proceed because of someone in the other team's work group!
Ji Shuyu nodded.
She should know that personal feelings should not be mixed into things.
The cooperation with Huo's was a big project, so for a long time, they had to go in and out together under the pretext of work...
"I didn't say anything." She smiled and raised her head. "I'll pack my things first, and then we can have dinner at home! I don't feel like moving."
Coming out of the baby room, Ji Shuyu strode back to the bedroom.
She closed the door and looked down at her phone.
It was a message from an unfamiliar number.
A photo of Gu Xiuyuan and Huo Yuxuan having lunch together.
She remembered this piece of clothing; it was what he wore on the day he accompanied her for her prenatal checkup.
He said... he had social engagements.
At this moment, the "misunderstanding" in the office and his refusal seemed... all reasonable.
She held her forehead in her hand uncomfortably, suppressing the sadness in her eyes. She told herself to control her emotions, otherwise it would affect the baby.
Tell yourself it's just a meal, trust Xiuyuan, both sides are just cooperating...
But……
She really didn't know how to understand his rejection.
When my baby was three months old, he was always very eager. Now that he is three months old and can do it, he realizes that he can't do it, right?
…
Gu Xiuyuan's business trip this time is abroad.
When he went out in the morning, Ji Shuyu saw him off to the door.
Because although the problem seemed to be solved, the contradiction still existed and both of them were unhappy.
Gu Xiuyuan also knew that it should be resolved before the business trip, but something unexpected happened there and he needed to go over there, so he broke his promise to accompany her for a day.
"Xiaoyu, I've arranged everything here, don't worry."
"Yeah." She nodded.
"If you feel unwell, call your family doctor and she will come right over."
"Okay, I understand!"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." He ruffled her hair. "If I can spare the time, I'll come back to see you."
"Work is important. If you have time, take a good rest!" She gently stroked his face.
She was a little panicked. Her intuition was always wrong when it came to good things, but always right when it came to bad things.
Every time she was uneasy, something would happen...
