Since the proposal, Cheng Qicai has been living a very comfortable life. Her family is happy and her work is going smoothly. She couldn't be happier.
The only downside is that Gu Rongqi has gone back to work, and she's a bit bored being alone.
Everyone around her is a workaholic, making it difficult for her to find someone to go out with.
Fortunately, she eventually found her partner, Lu Yiyuan, who was only a few months old.
When she had free time, she would go to Yun Suni's house to play with Lu Yiyuan. Yun Suni's house was very close to the company, and Gu Rongqi's company was also nearby, so she could wait for Gu Rongqi to get off work and then go home together.
When Lu Yiyuan was one year old, Yun Su Ni and the others went abroad on a business trip and entrusted Lu Yiyuan to Cheng Qicai for care.
She also had the most free time, and Lu Yiyuan was the most clingy to her, so she visited Yun Su Ni's house almost once every three days on average.
Cheng Qicai taught Lu Yiyuan to speak as usual, "Auntie~"
Lu Yiyuan's lips moved twice.
Cheng Qicai called him again, "Mom~ Mom~"
Lu Yiyuan's lips moved a few more times, following Cheng Qicai's lip movements to make a muffled sound, "ma..."
Cheng Qicai was thrilled to hear the sound he made and taught him to pronounce it a few more times. As the number of repetitions increased, Lu Yiyuan's pronunciation became clearer and clearer.
She happily took a picture and posted it in the family group chat.
Cheng Qicai then taught him to say "Little Aunt," and after Lu Yiyuan called her name a few times, she happily lifted him up high.
After posting the video, Cheng Qicai was a little annoyed that no one responded. It seemed that everyone was busy.
Yun Su Ni and Lu Qi are working abroad, Yun Ru Cheng and Song Luo should be in class, Mr. Cheng is at work, and even Ms. Yun, who used to stay at home, has recently found a job. Now, she's the only one who's been slacking off.
The person who responded the fastest in the group was Gu Rongqi.
Sure enough, he was the most reliable one among them.
Cheng Qicai checked the time; there was still half an hour until Gu Rongqi's workday ended.
She messaged Gu Rongqi to ask if he was about to get off work. After receiving an affirmative answer, she decided to drag Lu Yiyuan to Ou Qidi to pick him up.
On the way, she taught Lu Yiyuan to call him "Uncle," and only after confirming that he could say it did Cheng Qicai excitedly go out.
When she arrived at the bottom of Ou Qi's building, Cheng Qicai sent him a message saying that she was waiting for him at the cake shop downstairs.
Since Gu Rongqi returned to Ouqi, Cheng Qicai has not gone upstairs. Most of the time, Gu Rongqi picks her up from Yun Su Ni's house. On rare occasions, when she comes to wait for him, she waits for him downstairs like this, and then the two meet in the parking lot.
Now that she's used to being free, whenever she walks under these companies, she's reminded of her miserable days as a corporate slave.
After waiting for a while, she saw Li Gui walk in.
Li Gui said to her, "Seven Colors, President Gu has an emergency meeting. He wants you to go upstairs and wait for him."
How long will it take?
"About an hour."
Cheng Qicai looked at Lu Yiyuan in the stroller and nodded helplessly.
They took a private elevator up and didn't encounter anyone along the way.
Ever since Lu Yiyuan could speak, he had been repeating the few titles that Cheng Qicai had taught him from time to time. He noticed that Cheng Qicai would only respond when he called her "Auntie," and she would keep repeating "Auntie" in her little mouth.
Li Gui led her to Gu Rongqi's office and then left. Cheng Qicai sat on the sofa in the office and took Lu Yiyuan out of the stroller.
Yun Su Ni also had a moment to spare and replied to Cheng Qi Cai's message.
She held Lu Yiyuan and video chatted with her until Gu Rongqi returned. Cheng Qicai then said to Yun Suni in the video, "Sister, let's stop chatting now, Gu Rongqi is back."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Qicai. Bye-bye, Yuanyuan. Mom will be back in two days." Yun Suni said to Lu Yiyuan with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qicai handed Lu Yiyuan to Gu Rongqi, saying, "Hold him for a while, I'm going to the bathroom."
Gu Rongqi took Lu Yiyuan from his arms, looked at him, and pulled down the hem of his clothes to cover his skin.
Knock knock—his door was being knocked on.
"Come in." Gu Rongqi looked towards the door, where three people were standing: the person in charge and manager of the project where the meeting had just taken place, and his secretary.
They stared at the child in Gu Rongqi's arms for a moment, then calmly reported to Gu Rongqi, "Mr. Gu, Xiao Du has some new ideas about the plan discussed in the meeting just now, and he would like to share them with you."
"Okay, you can speak."
Lu Yiyuan tugged at Gu Rongqi's suit tie. Gu Rongqi glanced down at him but did not stop him.
The three of them took turns reporting their findings, but secretly they were observing the child in his arms, speculating about the relationship between the child and him.
After they finished speaking, Gu Rong nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea. You can add it in later. If there's nothing else, you can go home after get off work."
"Okay, then we'll head out."
The three turned to leave, and at that moment, Lu Yiyuan began calling out to Gu Rong, "Dad... Dad... Dad..."
They glanced at each other and quickened their pace as they left Gu Rongqi's office.
"Yuanyuan, don't call me that. I'm your uncle." Gu Rongqi looked at him helplessly.
“Uncle… Father…” Lu Yiyuan stared at his legs, repeating his words with joy.
Cheng Qicai happened to come out as well. "Have you left?"
"Hmm." Gu Rongqi put Lu Yiyuan in the stroller and pushed it out. He said to Cheng Qicai, "Yuanyuan called me 'Dad' as soon as she opened her mouth."
Cheng Qicai laughed loudly, "Haha, he hasn't even heard the title 'Brother Lu' yet, and you've already taken it for free."
The two laughed, never expecting that this little incident would cause such a big misunderstanding.
