"Have some water." The assistant helped her sit up and handed her a water glass.
“I asked the doctor to reduce your medication,” he continued. “After all, you’re carrying a baby. There’s not much Lin Shao can do for you, so don’t be so insistent. Since the baby is fine, just focus on giving birth to the child.”
Sheng Xin returned the water glass to him, lay down and fell asleep again, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Gu Fanyan arrived at her doorstep, composed herself, and then stepped inside.
She didn't want her mother to notice anything.
Part of the reason is that I don't want to listen to my mother's nagging.
As soon as I stepped inside, my mother, who was coming out of the restaurant, spotted me. Her eyes even lit up.
"Yan'er!" She walked over with a smile and took Gu Fanyan's hand. "You and Lin Zhibai had a good talk, didn't you?"
After two nights away from home, how could we not have a good talk!
"Last time Lin Zhibai told me that he would go to Baitou Mountain with you to get married as soon as he had time. Have you talked about this in the last couple of days?" Mom asked.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhibai had even discussed this matter with his mother.
His purpose was clear: to win over allies.
Gu Fanyan thought to herself that the conflict between her and Lin Zhibai was no small matter, and she didn't know how it would end in the end.
She didn't want to keep hiding or running away from her mother.
"Mom," she said, "we were having a good talk and even discussed going to Baekdu Mountain for the wedding, but then Shengxin caused a rift between us."
She recounted what had happened.
Mother Gu gradually suppressed her smile; she understood that this matter was indeed no small thing.
"Yan'er, please sit down," Gu's mother pulled her to the small terrace outside the restaurant, where the conversation would be more private. "I also have some thoughts on this matter."
“Sheng Xin must really have mental problems,” Gu’s mother said. “Besides, she helped Lin Zhibai send Gu Zheng to prison, which can be considered as indirectly helping us get rid of Lin Guangchen, this scourge.”
“If Lin Zhibai can handle Shengxin’s matter well, I think you can relax a bit.”
"Mom!" Gu Fanyan suddenly stood up. "Am I destined to never get married? Or does the family need me to marry into the Lin family to save Dad's business?"
“That’s not what I meant. Your father’s business doesn’t need you to save it.”
"Then why are you in such a hurry to push me away?"
"Don't make decisions in the heat of the moment," Gu's mother sighed. "I'll ask you one thing: if you miss out on Lin Zhibai again this time, will you regret it?"
Gu Fanyan's mind went blank for a moment; she had never thought about this question before.
Now, she quickly thought about the problem and said, "Mom, Shengxin's matter is my bottom line, and I will not back down."
After saying that, she turned and left, without even taking a sip of the tea that her mother had poured for her.
Gu's mother's expression turned serious.
"Madam." A short while later, an assistant came over. "The tea has gone cold. Let me get you a fresh cup."
Mother Gu shook her head: "Nothing tastes good to me now."
"Madam, is there anything you need me to do?"
Gu's mother sighed softly: "Shengxin, the doctor has diagnosed her with a mental illness, and she's also pregnant. Where would be a suitable place to send her?"
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "It would be best to go abroad, send two people to take care of him, and have a doctor come to check on him regularly."
Mother Gu nodded approvingly: "That's right, that way only you and I know where she is."
"I'm leaving this matter to you. If you do a good job, I won't treat you unfairly."
Having explained everything, Gu's mother looked into the distance, hoping that from now on, life would be as tranquil and comfortable as the scenery at this moment.
Before going to sleep, Gu Fanyan received a message from Lin Zhibai.
Two plane tickets to Mount Baekdu.
Gu Fanyan's first reaction was to zoom in on the picture and make sure she saw the time clearly: 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
Only later did she realize why she had made sure to check the time.
She never intended to go with him!
She didn't reply to the messages and even turned off her phone so that no one could bother her because of Lin Zhibai.
She went to the company the next day.
I caught up on all the work that had fallen behind and was busy until 9 p.m.
But she was full of energy, not sleepy at all.
At that moment, a message was sent in the group chat.
Open it and you'll be greeted with a shower of red envelopes.
Lin Zhibai's red envelope had a message that read, "Wishing me a happy marriage!"
The group chat exploded immediately.
For grabbing red envelopes.
Those who offer congratulatory words.
The news was scrolling by at breakneck speed.
Of course, many people tagged Gu Fanyan, saying that she should also send out red envelopes.
They used to call her Sister Fanyan, but today they all call her "Sister-in-law".
[@Lin Zhibai, why are you suddenly getting married? I didn't receive an invitation!]
[Yeah, @LinZhiBai, bro, am I not being abandoned by the industry? You didn't even invite me to your big wedding!]
[@Everyone, I, Lin Zhibai, am getting married in a sacred place. It has nothing to do with you.]
Wow! How romantic!
[Young Master Lin is different; he's always been chasing after beautiful women since he was a child, and now he even marries one.]
Even if we don't have a banquet, we should still have a party, to say goodbye to being single!
I really envy Lin Shao; he can bring his wife, @顾繁烟, to all his bachelor parties.
[Absolutely the first of its kind in history]
【Hahaha】
The group chat was bustling with activity, but Gu Fanyan felt increasingly uneasy.
What does Lin Zhibai mean?
Has she given her consent to the marriage?
What makes him think that she's about to marry him?
She immediately tagged everyone: "Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. Lin! I've been very busy lately, so I won't be able to attend your wedding party."
The group chat fell silent.
The atmosphere, which was so lively just a moment ago, suddenly cooled down as if doused with ice water.
Gu Fanyan didn't receive any private messages either. In everyone's impression, she had always been very serious, and no one dared to ask her about such a big matter.
I reckon Lin Zhibai's private messages must have been flooded with messages.
Gu Fanyan, finding herself in a rare moment of peace, tossed her phone aside and decided to continue working.
Suddenly, there was a knock on her office door.
She looked up and saw Yun Suiwan standing at the door.
“Wanwan,” she said, standing up in surprise, “you’re here so late. Come in and sit down.”
"I just got off work and came here on my way," Yun Suiwan said with a smile. "But you should know why I came."
Gu Fanyan poured her a glass of juice. "Are you acting as a go-between for Lin Zhibai, or do you want to know what happened between him and me?"
Yun Suiwan shook her head: "I came to check on you. You don't seem to be in a good mood right now."
Gu Fanyan sat down. "There's nothing good or bad about it. You know, Lin Zhibai and I have had so many arguments. Now, when we have an argument, I feel like, 'Hey, here we go again.'"
"I think I've gotten used to it, but I feel terrible and confused. If a relationship is like this, why continue it?"
Her tone was calm, but her reddened eyes betrayed her true feelings.
Yun Suiwan sighed softly: "Didn't Lu Dongjue and I also go through many twists and turns? Perhaps a relationship that hasn't been through so much won't be very deep."
Gu Fanyan raised her hand to support her chin. "You know, sometimes I think of Murong Mo."
“When I’m with him, I feel at ease and don’t have to worry about anything every day.”
She looked out the window; the distant mountains were just faint, undulating lines in the night.
