"Ahem...your book fell to the ground yesterday and I accidentally saw it..." Gu Xingfan defended himself guiltily.
Lin Yanbai: I don't believe you! You can know so much just by accidentally glancing at it? And you even learned to use it flexibly?
Although Lin Yanbai didn't say it, what she wanted to say was clearly told to Gu Xingfan through her expression.
But Gu Xingfan, who has been a powerful figure in the compound for many years, has long been well versed in the art of being thick-skinned. If you don’t tell me, I will pretend I don’t know!
He peeled an egg for Lin Yan as if nothing had happened and handed it to her attentively: "Wife, eat more, I cooked it especially for you!"
Since Gu Xingfan pretended to be stupid and turned the page, Lin Yanbai was also happy to do so. Ahem, mainly because this novel was her treasured collection. Its value lay in the various cars in it. Once you got in one, it was like a highway...
It was still early after lunch, so the two of them took a leisurely stroll to the factory. The main problem was that the road to work was bumpy, and even with Lin Yanbai's personal cushion on the back of the bicycle, it couldn't avoid the bumps. So the two of them decided to just walk to work for the time being.
Looking at the two figures, the doorman was a little curious. "Secretary Gu, Secretary Lin, why aren't you riding your bikes today?"
Hearing this, Gu Xingfan smiled and replied, "Uncle, I can't ride a bike every day. My home is not far away. The weather is so good these two days, so taking a walk will make me feel good!"
"Well, that's right. Your home is not far away. You can just walk to and from get off work like this and consider it as exercise!" The old man agreed wholeheartedly with Gu Xingfan's words.
When the old man was no longer in sight, Gu Xingfan whispered, "Wife, Auntie Chen said yesterday that it's best not to tell anyone before the baby is three months old, for fear of scaring the child. We'd rather believe it than not..."
"I didn't realize you were quite superstitious..."
"Well, isn't this all for our daughter?"
"How do you know it must be a daughter? What if it's a son?" Lin Yanbai asked curiously.
"Impossible, I dreamed of our daughter last night. She was a small ball, so cute, and she chased me and called me daddy..." Gu Xingfan firmly believed that it must be his daughter!
Seeing his expression, Lin Yanbai didn't want to argue with him. After all, the outcome would be clear in a few months.

That afternoon, Zhong Xinya pushed open the door of Gu Xingfan's office. Gu Xingfan went to inspect the workshop. Before leaving, he asked her to organize the documents and put them on his desk.
She swiftly placed the documents neatly on the table, ensuring that Gu Xingfan could see them at a glance. As she turned around, she accidentally bumped into something on the table, causing the documents and books to fall to the floor...
She looked at the mess with a headache, sighed, and squatted down to clean it up resignedly.
Thinking of Brother Gu’s sharp eyes and strong character, Zhong Xinya felt a little numb on her scalp. He, he, he... wouldn’t hit her, right?
She packed up in a hurry and looked at the time. It was time to get off work anyway, so she might as well... run away! Brother Gu couldn't just rush into his house and beat her up!
By tomorrow, Brother Gu’s anger will surely subside… Thinking of this, Zhong Xinya felt that she was really smart.
She glanced at the table... Found it! She grabbed a piece of paper and pen and wrote a confession, expressing her apology and remorse. She placed the note on the document and planned to slip away.
Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper next to Lin Yanbai's photo on the table. You know, the area around her sister-in-law's photo is always spotless, with nothing left there. Zhong Xinya was a little curious and subconsciously glanced at the paper...
Because the paper was unfolded, Zhong Xinya could clearly see at a glance that it was a hospital report...hiss! My sister-in-law is pregnant?
Looking at the rough edges on this report, it seems... Brother Gu must have touched it quite often. Thinking of this, Zhong Xinya suddenly felt less afraid of him!
After leaving the note, Zhong Xinya slipped away quietly. Although she didn't feel as scared of him anymore, she still had things to do today, so let's talk about it tomorrow!
After leaving the textile factory, Zhong Xinya went straight to the state-owned hotel. After standing at the door of the hotel, she started kicking stones out of boredom. From time to time, she looked up and looked around, obviously waiting for someone.
After about half an hour, the person she was waiting for finally arrived. At the other end of the road, Gu Xingyu was carrying a briefcase and slowly walking towards her...
Gu Xingyu seemed to be glowing in the sunlight, reminding Zhong Xinya of how he gently comforted her when she was scared and crying as a child. In her young eyes, he was like a god...
Although Zhong Xinya listened to Lin Yanbai's advice and never clashed with Director Zhong again over this matter, Gu Xingyu was just too good at pretending.
Perhaps he felt that Zhong Xinya still had value, so Gu Xingyu really put in some effort to build up his image in front of her. He understood the little girl's mind perfectly!
Gu Xingyu was willing to put in the effort, and coupled with his face that looked like a gentleman, and the filter that Zhong Xinya had for him, all these reasons combined led to Xinya not discovering his true face for such a long time.
Seeing that Zhong Xinya had arrived, Gu Xingyu hurriedly trotted over, even panting slightly when he reached her: "Xinya, you must have been waiting for a long time! Sorry, something happened at the bureau just now, so I was delayed for a while..."
After Gu Xingyu graduated from high school, Gu Changrong used his connections to get him into the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and after graduation he went straight to work at the Housing Authority.
"It's okay, I didn't wait too long... Are you hungry? Let's go in and eat!" Zhong Xinya's face flushed slightly.
With that, the two of them walked in. Gu Xingyu politely asked Zhong Xinya to sit down first, while he went to the front desk to order...
While eating, seeing Zhong Xinya eating with such relish, Gu Xingyu casually asked, "Xinya, how are you doing recently? Is the factory busy?"
Hearing Gu Xingyu's question, she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth: "I'm not busy. You know our union doesn't have much to do normally..."
Gu Xingyu nodded in understanding, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I haven't seen Xingfan recently when I went to Grandpa's place. I thought the factory was very busy..."
Then he sighed worriedly: "It seems that Xingfan still doesn't want to see me..."
"Brother Xingyu, don't think too much. Maybe you missed Brother Xingfan when you went to Grandpa Gu's place? Or... oh right..." Zhong Xinya thought of the report she had just seen by chance.
"Maybe it's because my sister-in-law is pregnant recently, and Brother Xingfan has to take care of her, so maybe he goes to the compound less often..."
"Lin Yanbai is pregnant?" Gu Xingyu was a little bit unbelievable, and even his voice was raised a lot!
