That night, Gu Xiuyuan slept very soundly. He hadn't slept so soundly in a long, long time.
He was awakened by the noise outside in the morning. Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly in his arms, his heart was filled with joy.
Looking at her sleeping face, Gu Xiuyuan smiled and couldn't help but kiss her lips...
In the early morning, some reactions are already sensitive, but even though we know it is dangerous, we can't control our desire for more.
Buzz——
The cell phone alarm rang and Ji Shuyu opened her eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Gu Xiuyuan froze and fell off the bed in panic.
The back of his head hit the cabinet with a bang, and his head buzzed, but he covered the back of his head and didn't dare say a word.
"Xiao Yu..." He kissed her carefully, "Yes, I'm sorry." He sat up.
"I just...can't sleep." He tried to explain, but his voice became lower and lower.
Ji Shuyu looked at him. A series of unexpected events made her unsure whether the kiss was real or a dream...
But seeing Gu Xiuyuan sitting on the ground with a panicked look on his face, she was so angry that she grabbed the pillow and smashed it on his face, then climbed up from the bed.
"Xiao Yu!" Gu Xiuyuan looked at her nervously.
"Go away." She yelled at him with a frown on her face.
Seeing her face wrinkled and she left without looking back, Gu Xiuyuan suddenly smiled.
just……
She was scolding him, wasn't she?
She finally no longer had a cold face towards him.
…
After running back and forth between the hospital studio for a few days, Ji Shuyu took time off from work at noon to go home and get the design draft.
When I got out of the taxi, the community was undergoing construction work.
I heard from the neighbors that because of the recent frequent robberies, the community has not only replaced the gate, but also installed surveillance cameras and hired guards to improve the safety of residents.
Ji Shuyu suddenly became worried about her rent after hearing this. She had previously felt unsafe and wanted to move, but she didn't think she could afford to rent a place like this anymore!
It seems that I really need to work hard.
It was already afternoon when Gu Xiuyuan finished his work at the hospital and was ready to be discharged.
After staying in the hospital for a few days, although all the work was taken to the ward for processing, there was still a backlog, and... he didn't want to see Xiaoyu busy at both the work and the hospital like this.
The phone in the drawer rang. He listened with his eyes slightly darkening, then answered it.
"Mr. Gu, we've investigated the matter thoroughly." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little cautious. "We discovered that Mr. Gu had someone investigate the Xia family's affairs."
This Mr. Gu is undoubtedly referring to his father.
But why would he be interested in the Xia family's affairs?
"Mr. Gu once went to the hospital to check your wife's medical records."
Gu Xiuyuan frowned even tighter, "Oh, I know."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xiuyuan's brows did not relax.
He had indeed intended to attack the Xia family before, but he hadn't expected someone else to get there first. The other party's actions were swift and ruthless, and he had already begun to feel uneasy before the outcome was even announced. The result... really lived up to his concerns.
But why did their father suddenly become so concerned about their affairs?
Or should I say, why is he so concerned about Xiaoyu's affairs?
There is no doubt that he did this for revenge, but...what about Qian Yin?
Ever since the cracks appeared in his relationship with Xiaoyu, things seemed to be heading in an uncontrollable direction.
…
Because they were delayed for some time at noon, Ji Shuyu ordered a takeout for Gu Xiuyuan and stayed to work overtime. By the time she finished her work, it was dark.
When she came out of the office building, she rubbed her neck and was about to take the subway to the hospital when a soft voice rang out, "Mommy~"
Ji Shuyu looked up and saw a small figure rushing towards her.
She squatted down and opened her arms, and the little guy jumped into her arms.
"Haohao, are you discharged from the hospital?"
The little guy nodded, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at her backpack. He pointed at the peace locket on her backpack and pulled out a small pendant from his lapel, "Mommy~"
His eyes were full of excitement, as if he had finally found evidence that she was his mother.
Ji Shuyu stared at it in surprise, "This?"
He Yanzhi walked up at this time, squatted down and rubbed the child's head.
"Haohao was discharged from the hospital today and said he wanted to have dinner with you. I came here without saying hello. I hope you don't mind."
"Oh, it's okay." She shook her head and looked at the child in front of her. "He is..."
His sister's child?
"Yeah." He Yanzhi nodded.
Ji Shuyu remembered this peace locket. When he went to the hospital to donate blood, he remembered that the patient's family member was emotionally broken, so he gave him the peace locket he DIY.
"Mommy~" The little guy looked dissatisfied when he saw that he was being ignored.
Normally it would be fine if he just called out a few times, but when the three of them were in the same frame, being called out to Ji Shuyu like this was really... embarrassing.
"Let's have dinner together?" He Yanzhi asked.
“…Tsu.”
It was dinner time, and although it was a last-minute decision, He Yanzhi secured a seat with just one phone call.
The little one was very happy during the meal, and the guests at the next table kept envying this good-looking "family".
Ji Shuyu was embarrassed and pretended not to hear, lowering her head to eat her meal.
After dinner, He Yanzhi sent Ji Shuyu back to the hospital.
"Thank you for dinner."
"Actually, today isn't entirely about Haohao." He Yanzhi smiled. "I also want to invite you to dinner."
“…”
He was so straightforward that Ji Shuyu didn't know what to say.
Seeing her like this, He Yanzhi smiled: "I thought my meaning has always been obvious."
In the past, she could think that she was overthinking, but with so many things happening recently, if she still couldn't see it, then...
Ji Shuyu paused slightly, "Yanzhi, you should know that I just got divorced."
"It's because I know you that I can express my feelings." He Yanzhi said seriously, "I know it's too early to say these things now. I am willing to wait for you to slowly let go and wait for you to be willing to accept a new relationship."
"Xiaoyu, I was a step late before, but now the opportunity is right in front of me, and I don't want to miss it again." He said seriously, "So I hope that when you are ready to accept a new relationship, you will give me a chance."
“…”
"Yanzhi..."
"It's a bit cold today, come in quickly!" He interrupted her hastily because he didn't want to hear her refusal.
In fact, he knew that now was not the right time to say this, but... he was uneasy.
This uneasiness comes from Gu Xiuyuan.
Looking up, he saw the man standing at the hospital entrance. It seemed that he had been standing there for a while.
Gu Xiuyuan was worried because Ji Shuyu didn't come back on time, so he had been waiting here for a long time. He just didn't expect to see her and He Yanzhi come back together.
So, she ordered takeout for him because she had a date with He Yan...
Have a meal? !
"Why are you here?" Ji Shuyu looked at him.
Gu Xiuyuan didn't answer, but looked at He Yanzhi not far away.
"In."
He didn't move and seemed a little grumpy. Ji Shuyu didn't bother to pay attention to him and just walked away.
Gu Xiuyuan felt even more depressed, but what right did he have to throw a tantrum at this moment?
Although he provoked He Yanzhi and said that they had a relationship of more than ten times, he was not confident in his heart, so he followed her footsteps and asked, "Are you going to pick me up from the hospital tomorrow?"
"No time."
She refused outright, and when I went to check in for discharge the next day at noon, she didn't show up, and even her phone call was unavailable...
