Chapter 26: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (26)
A month passed just like that.
Gu Ci's eyesight has improved; he can see blurry shadows, but still not clearly.
The doctor said this is a good trend.
But... it's too late, the day for the female lead to return to her country is fast approaching.
She was quite anxious too.
“I’m going abroad in a few days, and I’ll be gone for about a week. You don’t need to bring me food anymore.”
Wen Wan's mind wandered, and she nodded, "Okay."
"If anything happens, you can call me."
"Um."
Gu Ci: "..."
What's wrong with Qin Sisi? Is she in a bad mood?
"I've increased the spending limit on your supplementary card. Buy whatever you want."
"Thank you, honey."
The voice that was usually so sweet and coquettish now sounded weak and listless, and Gu Ci frowned.
—
Soon the day of departure arrived, and Assistant Chen packed Gu Ci's luggage.
"Mr. Gu, we're heading to the airport now."
Let's go.
Assistant Chen noticed that President Gu seemed to be in a bad mood, and that his wife didn't even see him off when he went abroad. Could it be that the two of them had a fight?
Gu Ci and his assistant Chen had just left the house.
Wen Wan, who didn't come to see them off, changed into simple clothes, wore a mask and a baseball cap, and then hailed a taxi.
Where to?
"Driver, follow the car in front."
The driver glanced at the customer in the rearview mirror and said, "I won't do anything illegal or disorderly."
Wen Yan: "..."
"To be honest, the person in that car is my husband. I suspect he's having an affair, and I want to catch him in the act."
The driver immediately started the car. "Okay, beautiful lady, buckle up. I hate cheating scumbags the most. Don't worry, I have ten years of driving experience, I'll definitely stick close."
"Okay, thank you, master."
The mask felt stuffy, so Wen Wan reached out and lifted it up a few times.
On the other side, Assistant Chen looked at President Gu, whose face was ashen, and after thinking for a moment, finally spoke up, "President Gu, regarding this cooperation with Huaqiao Company..."
Why do you think someone suddenly gets angry?
Assistant Chen: "..."
Mr. Gu, is your question reasonable? You should reflect on your own actions.
"Perhaps it's due to a lack of family companionship, feeling neglected, and lacking a sense of security?"
Mr. Gu, I've said all I need to say, you should understand now, right?
"That shouldn't be my problem."
He goes to get off work and leaves work on time every day, and he takes a lot of work home to handle, eating all three meals together.
Are there any other possibilities?
Assistant Chen: "Women often have a few days each month when they are in a bad mood. Could this be the reason?"
Gu Ci thought for a moment and nodded.
It's very likely that it wasn't his fault.
"Continue with the report on Huaqiao Company."
Assistant Chen: "..."
With President Gu's emotional intelligence? How can he even have a wife?!
—
Upon arriving at the airport, Gu Ci carried a guide cane, while Assistant Chen pushed the luggage, keeping an eye on the surroundings to prevent anyone from bumping into President Gu.
"Girl, it's 188, I'll just take 180 from you. Hurry up and go after your husband. You can't keep a man who cheats on you. Once he does, he'll do it again and again."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
Seeing Gu Ci and Assistant Chen in the distance, Wen Wan followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
In the waiting room.
Wen Wan sat three rows behind Gu Ci.
"Tell me, what does this female lead look like? What's her name?" Wen Wan observed her surroundings, but with so many people, she couldn't tell who the female lead was.
Moreover, Gu Ci had previously used VIP channels and even private jets, but this time he went through the normal process just to meet the female lead?
System: [The original book ended here, without specifying the female lead's situation, so I don't know either. What we need to do is continue the interrupted storyline.]
I waited for half an hour.
"Waaah...waaah...Mommy, I want to go home..." A little boy next to her suddenly burst into tears, and many people looked over. Wen Wan subconsciously squatted down under the chair.
"I'm so sorry, Xiao Bao, why are you crying? Stop crying, you're disturbing others..."
The young mother kept trying to soothe the child, but it was no use.
Wen Wan thought for a moment, rummaged through her bag, and actually found the small car, about half the size of her palm, that she had prepared to give to Xiao Xuanxuan. She then handed it to the little boy.
"Here, take this. Don't cry."
The little boy tried to take the toy car, but his young mother stopped him, saying, "How can you do that?"
"It's nothing, my son won it in a lottery, it's not worth much, it's perfect for a kid to play with."
"Thank you so much, Xiaobao. Thank you, Auntie."
The little boy stopped crying after receiving the toy and politely said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome."
Wen Wan quietly sat up, looked at the first row, and found that Gu Ci was still there. She patted her chest, relieved that she hadn't been discovered.
After a while, Assistant Chen seemed to hear Gu Ci say something, so after Gu Ci stood up, he helped Gu Ci walk to the restroom.
Here it comes, the plot is about to unfold.
[Host, hurry and catch up.]
Wen Wan left the chair and followed Gu Ci and Assistant Chen at a distance, then saw Assistant Chen outside.
Assistant Chen suddenly received a phone call and left the restroom.
"Is this the manipulation of the god of plot? All factors that would interfere with the male and female protagonists being alone together have been eliminated."
Stop looking around and go inside.
Wen Wan went inside. There were only two or three people scattered around in the restroom. Gu Ci put his guide cane aside and took off his watch to wash his hands.
Wen Wan was positioned at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, just enough to clearly see how the water flowed through Gu Ci's hand. Wen Wan, quite pathetically, swallowed again.
"If a hand fetishist dies because of these hands, he will surely die with a smile on his face."
system:【……】
Gu Ci's posture was very elegant, and he washed very slowly, seemingly because his eyesight was poor, so he washed even more carefully.
"Long fingers, it is said that men with long middle fingers also have long penises."
system:【……】
"What a pity, he's already slept with the female lead, so he's good for flirting."
System: What else? You want to do it yourself?
Just then, a girl ran in, and Wen Wan instantly perked up. That beautiful face, that waist-length hair, that pitiful temperament—the perfect combination for a female lead!
Then a handsome young man walked in, hugged the girl, and gave her a long, tender kiss.
"Baby, don't be angry, I was wrong."
Then the two of them left hand in hand.
Wen Yan: "..."
After washing his hands, Gu Ci took out a tissue and carefully dried them, making sure to clean every single finger.
Then they prepared to leave.
But the female lead... hasn't appeared yet.
"Honey, what's going on? Where's the female lead?"
System: [There may be a slight deviation in the plot. The female lead hasn't arrived yet, but Gu Ci is leaving now.]
"Then what should we do?"
Didn't the first meeting between the male and female leads end badly?
The system thought for a moment and then decisively said, "Go to the top, don't reveal your identity, and walk the storyline in place of the female lead."
Wen Yan: "..."
