A moment later, Gu Qingyan straightened his coat, smoothed out the wrinkles he had made while holding the child, and then stared at Shen Zhi Qiu on the bed.
He hadn't looked at her so calmly in a long time.
It's been a long time since I've had such a calm conversation with her.
Looking at Shen Zhi Qiu's slightly round face, Gu Qing Yan's eyes welled up with emotions he couldn't suppress. He even wanted to take a few steps forward, as if he could sit beside her as he had long ago, reach out and hug her, gently stroke her hair, and feel a surge of warmth in his heart.
But now, they are separated by thousands of miles.
They could never go back to the way things were before.
Gu Qingyan ultimately did nothing. He closed his eyes in pain, his mind filled with the beautiful memories they had shared.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes, a gentle smile on his face. He took two steps closer to Shen Zhi Qiu and whispered, "Thank you, Zhi Qiu."
Thank you for still being willing to see me.
Thank you for letting me hug my children.
His tone was gentle, but also carried a deliberate air of distance.
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded and said calmly, "I promised Mom and Dad that being divorced doesn't mean the child is only mine. I won't stop you from seeing the child when you want to. As long as it's for the child's good, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you."
"Okay, then I'll head back to Nancheng first. There are still many things at the company that I need to take care of." Gu Qingyan looked at Shen Zhi Qiu, her heart breaking. "From now on, I'll make an appointment with you before I come to see the children, so I won't disturb you."
As he spoke, Gu Qingyan gave Lu Jia a deep look beside the sofa, then turned and walked towards the front door.
With a single glance from Rong Mo, Wei Qiao led her men to follow.
Although Gu Qingyan has clearly become much more normal now, he still needs to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After watching Gu Qingyan leave, Rong Hong sat down on the edge of the bed with a sense of relief. He looked at Shen Zhi Qiu carefully and changed the subject, jokingly saying, "My daughter's face seems to have gotten a little rounder, huh?"
“The young lady eats six meals a day, how can she not be a little chubby?” The nanny, Aunt Zhao, laughed heartily. “But that’s normal. It’s easy to get hungry during postpartum recovery. The young lady doesn’t eat much for afternoon tea and late-night snacks either, so it’s fine.”
"Lu Jia, come here." Rong Hong saw that Lu Jia was sitting somewhat reservedly next to Rong Mo, and thought it was probably because Gu Qingyan had come earlier, so he generously waved to Lu Jia, "Little Lu, come sit here, it's closer to Zhi Qiu, so it will be more convenient for Zhi Qiu if she needs you."
Lu Jia was somewhat flattered and quickly stood up, walked briskly to Shen Zhi Qiu's bedside, and sat down in a chair next to her.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at him, gently took his hand, and gave him a look that told him not to worry.
Holding Shen Zhi Qiu's soft, delicate hand, Lu Jia finally felt relieved. To be honest, seeing Gu Qing Yan's change today, he had been a little worried, afraid that Shen Zhi Qiu would soften her heart towards Gu Qing Yan because of their years of friendship and the two children.
He had even imagined the scenario of the two of them getting back together in his mind. Although his heart was aching like it was being stabbed, he had also made up his mind to respect Shen Zhi Qiu's decision.
Even if she doesn't ultimately choose him, Lu Jia will force himself to leave and give Shen Zhi Qiu a complete family.
Shen Zhi Qiu saw through his thoughts and worries, so she squeezed Lu Jia's hand tightly and said in a firm and resolute tone, "I will not reconcile with Gu Qing Yan."
If you've broken up, you've broken up. We're all adults, and we need to learn to be responsible for our actions.
Just like I told Gu Qingyan, I can accept his apology, but I will never forgive him.
Because the harm truly existed, it has already happened, and I cannot pretend that nothing happened. Harm is harm, and it cannot be erased by an apology.
So you don't need to worry.
Now that I've made my choice, I won't turn back.
Shen Zhi Qiu's voice wasn't loud, but it was still exceptionally clear in the quiet ward; at least, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Rong Mo smiled and thought to himself, "She really is my younger sister. She thinks just like me."
There's a saying that goes something like that.
If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?!
Due to unforeseen circumstances at the company, Rong Hong had to leave.
As he walked out, he couldn't help but glance at Yan Yan, who was talking to Shen Zhi Qiu, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Stepping out of the elevator, Rong Hong made a phone call and solemnly instructed, "Help me investigate someone."
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu and Yan Yan chatting happily, just like friends, Rong Mo's lips curled up, and he looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with a gentle expression.
After they finished chatting, Rong Mo stood up, walked to Yan Yan's side, and politely said, "Miss Yan Yan, you've really worked hard these past few days."
However, I have a favor to ask. I'd like to inquire whether Ms. Yan Yan could continue to help my sister recover. I've seen that she's recovering very well recently, but considering the significant damage childbirth caused to her body, I'd like to ask if Ms. Yan Yan would be interested in working as a nutritionist at the Rong family.
This way, I can help my sister take care of her health in all aspects.
Furthermore, I think having a nutritionist in the family would be beneficial for everyone's health.
Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Rong Mo to make such a request. She frowned slightly, feeling troubled, and pondered how to answer.
"Miss Yan, there's no need to rush to answer me. You can think about it carefully first."
