Chapter 78 The Crying Child Gets Candy
"Let Lin Wu pick you up first, dear." Qin Mu's voice softened, with a soothing tone. "I'll deal with it as soon as possible. It can be postponed for two days at most. I'll be home on Monday night."
"...You mean the weekend." Gu Chuyue's voice lowered, revealing a deep sense of depression.
"Sorry, baby, it's an emergency." Qin Mu seemed to sigh, "I didn't expect this to happen. You go back with Lin Wu first, okay?"
It seemed like Song Zhao was calling Qin Mu on the other end of the line. He quickly answered and then said to Gu Chuyue, "I'm going to a meeting first. I'll call you back later. Be obedient."
Communications were cut off.
Gu Chuyue stood there, the screen of his phone went dark, reflecting his expressionless face with dark eyes.
Qi Yuming packed up his things and came over: "Come on, Chu Yue, it's the weekend, shouldn't you run to see Brother Qin Mu without stopping?"
Gu Chuyue didn't move.
A few minutes later, Qi Yuming looked at Gu Chuyue, whose air pressure was so low that it could freeze someone to death.
From what he saw, Gu Chuyue was once again being manipulated by Brother Qin Mu!
Qi Yuming was not annoyed. He casually said hello and left with his car keys.
At the school gate, a low-key but valuable black car was parked there.
Assistant Lin Wu, who was dressed meticulously, stood by the car. Seeing Gu Chuyue, he gently opened the door and said, "Young Master, the master of the family asked me to pick you up."
Gu Chuyue got into the car without saying a word.
When he returned to his and Qin Mu's home, the reassuring, cool fragrance instantly enveloped him.
But the void in his heart was not filled at all.
The spacious villa was eerily quiet all weekend.
Gu Chuyue processed the backlog of documents and held two remote meetings.
How did the meeting go?
The subordinate who was scolded harshly after several fatal errors in his report were picked out just wanted to say this.
Not good! Not good at all!
Where's the boss lady?
Li Jiangning looked at the small group of people asking about the whereabouts of the patriarch, and anonymously typed:
[Don't ask. If you ask, the wife is out on a business trip. The mad dog is not chained at this time, and the self-aware people have quietly retreated.]
When you see the message in the group, reply immediately.
[No, my wife is on a business trip, he is being madly criticized, and there are a bunch of suffering cattle and horses! ]
[Please, Madam, come back soon! ]
Li Jiangning watched with great interest.
Just about to release some more exclusive news.
Someone sent him a private message
Project Manager Niuma: [Secretary Li! Don't think I don't know it's you just because I'm anonymous. You can slip away, but how can I, a project manager, step down? ? ?]
The project leader despised Li Jiangning's arrogant and conceited look.
Just about to continue the criticism and denunciation.
A big red exclamation mark appeared in the chat box.
Project Leader: “…” Bah! You bastard!
Gu Chuyue sat on the sofa, looking at the screen of his mobile phone.
The messages sent by Qin Mu were intermittent, and it was obvious that he was very busy.
The phone call only went through once, and after a few words, Lin Wu called him away again.
The promise to pick him up and meet him on the weekend is gone.
It was Sunday night and Qin Mu still hadn't come back.
The promise of "I'll be home Monday night" was like a straw hanging by a thread.
Gu Chuyue did not return to school.
He sat on the carpet in the living room, his back against the sofa, his long legs bent.
There were several empty wine bottles scattered at his feet.
He actually has a good alcohol tolerance, but perhaps because of his mood, or perhaps because of the mixture of different spirits, he got drunk quickly and violently.
He still held the thick leather notebook in his hand, his pen scribbling across the latest page, his handwriting frantically written:
【It’s a lie!!!】
【be late! ! ! 】
[Missing my wife... It's so uncomfortable...]
【Don’t come back yet! 】
【……elder brother……】
Alcohol amplifies all the grievances, anxieties and possessiveness that are forcibly suppressed by reason.
He was no longer the person in charge of the Gu family who was calm and sharp in the classroom and strategized in meetings. He turned back into the insecure big pendant who would lose control if he left Qin Mu.
In the middle of the night, there was a very slight sound of keys turning in the entrance hall.
Qin Mu pushed open the door exhausted, feeling the chill of the night.
There was only a dim floor lamp on in the living room, and the smell of alcohol mixed with the familiar fragrance of home wafted into the air.
He immediately saw the tall figure curled up on the carpet and the scattered wine bottles.
He frowned, took off his cold coat and walked over.
It's drizzling outside and the temperature has dropped in the past few days.
"baby?"
Gu Chuyue suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, his eyes were hazy and filled with strong grievance, staring at him straight, like an abandoned large dog finally waiting for its owner.
"Brother, my wife... is back..." His voice was hoarse, nasal and drunken.
"Yeah, I'm back." Qin Mu squatted down in front of him, brushing his fingertips across the corners of his red eyes. "Why did you drink so much?"
This touch seemed to turn on a switch.
Gu Chuyue suddenly rushed over, hugged Qin Mu's waist tightly with almost the force of throwing him, and buried his hot face in his slightly cool neck.
His voice instantly took on a sobbing tone, howling loudly and aggrievedly: "Why did you come back just now! You said you would pick me up during the holidays and spend the weekend with me! Liar! Big liar! I've been waiting for you for so long! Do you know how much I missed you! I couldn't sleep! I couldn't eat! Everything was wrong!"
He howled and rubbed Qin Mu hard, and his tears and the smell of alcohol rubbed Qin Mu's neck.
The voice in my ear gradually became smaller: "I've been waiting for you for a long, long time, and you never came back...Brother, why did you lie to me again?"
Qin Mu was knocked off balance by him, and he managed to keep his balance. He felt the accusations and trembling of the large drunk in his arms, and felt both amused and distressed.
He patted Gu Chuyue's back gently and slowed down his voice: "It's my fault, it's my fault. The project was delayed due to an accident. Shouldn't we get back as soon as possible?"
"Not fast enough!" Gu Chuyue insisted.
She raised her head, staring at Qin Mu with tearful eyes, and accusing him with confusing logic, "You just don't miss me, you don't miss me at all. You have another man outside, right? Is that Xu Chi coming after you again? I'm going to kill him!"
Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What nonsense are you talking about. There is no one else, only you."
"Then why didn't you come back earlier to accompany me!" Gu Chuyue didn't listen to the explanation at all. He fell back and hugged her tightly, continuing to cry, "Bastard wife! Pay me back."
He cried at the top of his lungs, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He howled and moved restlessly, his head rubbing in Qin Mu's arms.
Qin Mu's head hurt because of his noise, but seeing him being completely dependent and out of control, his heart softened.
He knew that Gu Chuyue was not being unreasonable, he was just too insecure and needed too much confirmation of his existence and love.
"Okay, I'll compensate you." Qin Mu coaxed him patiently, inserting his fingers into his thick hair and gently massaging it. "Tomorrow is Monday, you don't have classes, right? I'll stay home with you, stay with you all day, and not go anywhere, okay?"
