Chapter 160 Are you and your brother-in-law trying to conceive?
Bai Qianqian's sharp cursing came from the other end of the phone.
"Aunt Wang, are you made of wood?"
I told you to wash the grapes, how long has it been? Are you trying to kill me with thirst?
"Miss Bai, I'm sorry, I'll go right away after I wash the cups..."
"Is the cup more important than me? I think you're just being lazy."
Did I pay you to act like a pampered princess?
"So slow and clumsy! They have absolutely no sense of observation!"
Aunt Wang's hesitant apology was drowned out by Bai Qianqian's higher-pitched voice.
Gu Jingcheng held his phone, his heart sinking deeper and deeper.
This is the one who speaks softly and gently.
Does Qianqian need his careful protection?
This rebuke, delivered with great force,
He doesn't seem like someone who just told him on WeChat that he felt a tightness in his chest.
Wang Huijuan walked out of the ward.
His voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"Mr. Gu, I...I was just about to tell you..."
I can't do this job anymore, I want to quit.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Huijuan seemed to have found an outlet, her words filled with grievance.
"Miss Bai is too difficult to please."
Today you say you want to eat steamed buns from the east side of the city, tomorrow you want to drink porridge from the west side.
Just getting breakfast took me to several different places; these are old bones of mine.
"We really can't afford any more trouble, Mr. Gu."
"That's not all, her younger brother is always ordering me around too."
They treated me like their servant, bringing me food and running errands for me.
She throws a tantrum at the slightest dissatisfaction... I'm a caregiver.
Even if she's not their family's maid, shouldn't we at least show her some basic respect?
Gu Jingcheng's heart skipped a beat.
When will Bai Qianqian have a younger brother?
Gu Jingcheng suppressed his doubts and spoke calmly.
"Okay, I understand."
All of this happened so strangely.
Gu Jingcheng sat on the coffee table.
Recalling every little thing that happened after Bai Qianqian appeared.
A fog that won't dissipate in my heart.

Lin Wei and Lin Yanlin had just finished a meeting.
My stomach was already rumbling.
As if by magic, Lin Yanlin produced a strawberry cake from behind his back.
"Sis, I bought this for you."
A smile appeared on Lin Wei's face.
When was it purchased?
"I noticed you've been enjoying this lately, so I bought it this morning."
"But sis, why didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"
"She's gained weight too, could it be...?"
"Are you and your brother-in-law trying to conceive?"
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Finish the report and hand it in to my desk this afternoon."
Lin Wei closed the door behind her.
Sitting on the sofa, my heart was still pounding.
That brat Lin Yanlin, how come he has such a sharp eye?
She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, where a small life was quietly growing.
She couldn't tell anyone this secret, not even her family.
If Dad, Mom, Yanlin finds out...
We will do everything we can to make her stay.
But she had already made up her mind to leave.
This child is the part of her that she absolutely cannot tolerate being disturbed.
Lin Wei walked to the desk and her gaze fell on the calendar.
A date circled in red pen, like a small period.
That was the day she had scheduled for her three-month prenatal checkup.
Once she confirmed that the fetus was stable, that was when she would begin preparing to leave.
Lin Wei sat down, opened the strawberry cake box, scooped out a corner and put it in her mouth.
My thoughts have already drifted far away.
Blue City.
That seaside city she had always loved.
In her previous life, she was deeply attracted by the vibrant phoenix flowers there.
In a moment of impulse, in the area where the phoenix flowers were in full bloom,
They bought a villa with a small yard.
Unexpectedly, it has now become the best safe haven for her to prepare for childbirth.
The environment there is quiet and peaceful, and the neighbors do not disturb each other.
The medical conditions are also good.
Once things are mostly settled in Jiangcheng
She then looked for an opportunity to leave.
Upon arriving in Blue City, we first settled in.
Hire a few more reliable and honest servants to take care of your daily needs...
As the cake dwindled to almost nothing, Lin Wei's gaze remained resolute.
The road ahead may be difficult, but for the sake of the baby in my womb...
She has to keep going.
This child is her hope for a new life.
She couldn't let anything unexpected happen before she left.

Jiangcheng Hospital
Shi Yanzhou finished seeing the last patient of the morning.
Leaning wearily against the large chair.
Long, slender fingers massaged the tightness between his eyebrows.
It's been a week since I got back.
This city is both familiar and unfamiliar.
But he never had the courage to actually appear in front of Lin Wei.
Each time, it was only in a corner she never noticed.
I watched her from afar as she walked away.
She seems to be doing very well.
Her complexion was no longer the occasional paleness I remembered.
Even her figure has become rounder.
It seems that Gu Jingcheng really treats her very well.
A complex emotion filled Shi Yanzhou's chest.
Like an overturned spice jar, it's a mixture of all sorts of flavors.
His Weiwei, in the days without him
They can still be treated gently by this world.
But why is the soreness and tightness in my chest getting more and more pronounced?
Why is it the person standing beside her, the one who gave her all this happiness?
Could it not be myself?
A gentle knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
The door was pushed open, and obstetrician Cheng Xinyue poked her head in.
A blush rose on her cheeks.
"Dr. Shi, haven't you gone to eat yet?"
Shi Yanzhou has finally returned from Africa.
She thought that after that abrupt departure, she might never see him again in her life.
Unexpectedly, he came back.
"Um."
Shi Yanzhou looked up at her, with his usual aloofness.
Cheng Xinyue handed the lunchbox forward.
"I...I accidentally brought an extra lunch with me at noon."
I can't finish this by myself, could you please help me finish it?
To avoid wasting it.
Shi Yanzhou looked at the expectation shining in her eyes.
Knowing what kind of feelings Cheng Xinyue harbored for him,
In the past, he might have been more tactful.
But now, he has no interest in dealing with anything else.
In this lifetime, his heart could not hold anyone else but Lin Wei.
"No need, I ordered takeout, it should be here soon."
Cheng Xinyue looked embarrassed but managed a forced smile.
"Ah... I see. Well... then I won't bother you any longer, Dr. Shi."

Lin Group entrance
A black Rolls-Royce was parked at the entrance.
Gu Jingcheng looked in the direction of the gate.
Fingertips unconsciously tapped the steering wheel.
My heart was filled with apprehension.
He was confused during this period.
It caused Weiwei a lot of harm.
Even if his relationship with Bai Qianqian is completely innocent,
However, his wedding with Weiwei is just around the corner.
However, he repeatedly neglected her because of Bai Qianqian's situation.
They left her alone in the old house.
In full view of everyone, he carried Bai Qianqian from the company to the hospital...
Put yourself in Weiwei's shoes, what would she think?
Father is right.
He forgot the most basic sense of boundaries.
Her feelings were ignored.
Repaying kindness should not come at the cost of hurting the people you love most.
The revolving glass door turned, and a familiar figure stepped out.
Lin Wei was wearing a white business suit.
Her long hair was neatly styled in a bun at the back of her head.
A few stray hairs fell beside her ears, adding a touch of softness.
He wore a long, light blue trench coat over his clothes.
She has a cool and capable demeanor.
She spotted the familiar car at a glance.
He paused for a moment, then walked calmly toward the car.
"slight……"
Lin Wei walked up to him.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived."
Gu Jingcheng smiled and stepped aside to let her get into the car.
