Gu Guohua smiled and said, "Haha! No need for dinner, there are people waiting at home!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shi stopped trying to persuade him and instead took the initiative to make a suggestion.
"Secretary Gu, let me take you home! It's so late, your driver probably can't come over!"
Gu Guohua nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's true. Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Gu! Oh dear, I'm really sorry to have kept you two from having dinner!"
He smiled somewhat shyly, his whole demeanor befitting a kind elder.
Finally, Gu Shi safely delivered the person home. Gu Guohua still lives in a small bungalow allocated by his work unit.
Although the bungalow was small, the dim yellow light made it feel very warm.
Before Gu Shi left, Gu Guohua asked him a question.
"You little rascal, aren't you curious about where my money comes from?"
Gu Shi honestly replied, "Secretary Gu naturally has his own channels, and I trust Secretary Gu's character."
Gu Guohua laughed heartily and said, "You little rascal!"
When Gu Shi arrived home, it was already late at night, and Gu Jue was already asleep.
Lin Qingyu, whether unable to sleep or too cold, was sitting next to the stove, adding coal into it.
Upon seeing Gu Shi, she tried to get up, but Gu Shi shushed her, pressed down on her shoulder, and gestured towards the place where Gu Jue was sleeping.
Lin Qingyu obediently sat and waited for Gu Shi.
A short while later, Gu Shi finished washing up, added some coal to the stove, checked the window to make sure it was open and wouldn't be blown shut by the wind.
The two lay on the bed, and for a moment no one spoke.
A few minutes later, Lin Qingyu couldn't hold back any longer and nudged the person next to her.
"Gu Shi, Gu Shi! Are you asleep?"
In the darkness, Lin Qingyu couldn't see anything, but she heard rustling sounds around her, and then her hand was taken into a warm, large hand.
"I'm not asleep yet, what's wrong? Is it too cold to sleep?"
Lin Qingyu's hands were indeed quite cold, but she felt the warmth that Gu Shi brought her.
She stood close to Gu Shi and said, "No, I was just wondering why Secretary Gu would suddenly come to see you?"
Moreover, with such a big matter, as long as Gu Shi makes a report, even if Gu Guohua is innocent, the tedious investigation will be enough to give him a headache.
Lin Qingyu never understood the true nature of the relationship between Gu Guohua and Gu Shi.
Gu Shi himself didn't know either, but he still comforted Lin Qingyu, saying, "I don't know either, maybe he just finds me more appealing!"
Lin Qingyu said, "What about last time? He brought Jiang Heping over for no reason. Although it was supposed to be an inspection, wasn't that just paving the way for you?"
Gu Shi didn't speak, so Lin Qingyu continued.
"Does he have a daughter of marriageable age, or does he want you to be his son-in-law?"
After she finished speaking jokingly, she thought Gu Shi would argue back, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't get a reply from him.
Lin Qingyu shook Gu Shi's hand: "I was just kidding! What's wrong? Are you asleep?"
Gu Shi suddenly moved closer to Lin Qingyu and bit her red lips as if punishing her.
Lin Qingyu felt a warm scent mixed with Gu Shi's fragrance, and it took her a while to react.
Only when Gu Shi finally stopped being angry did he release Lin Qingyu's mouth.
If it weren't for the lack of light, Gu Shi wouldn't have been able to see Lin Qingyu's lips, which were now rosy and would surely have stirred his desires again.
Lin Qingyu dared not speak, and could only gasp for breath, her fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of Gu Shi's clothes.
Gu Shi suddenly hugged Lin Qingyu tightly and whispered in her ear, "This joke isn't funny at all!"
Lin Qingyu knew how intense Gu Shi's feelings for her were; she had just suddenly remembered this and made it up on the spot.
She reached out and put her arm around Gu Shi's waist, apologizing to him, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I never doubted you, I just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Shi silenced her again with a kiss.
The atmosphere had become indescribable, and both of them were starting to feel restless.
If this had happened a few years ago, it would have ignited a wildfire long ago, and things would have gotten out of control.
But now that Gu Jue is lying next to the two of them, this is inconvenient no matter what.
Since Lin Qingyu gave birth, the two have had very little time together.
Especially when Gu Jue was sleeping next to Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu simply couldn't have such thoughts.
Now she felt a little itchy, and she nudged Gu Shi uncomfortably before realizing...
"Cough cough!"
She was startled, choked by her own saliva, and couldn't help coughing.
Gu Shi patted her back and said, "What's wrong? I won't touch you, don't be nervous!"
He thought Lin Qingyu was coughing because he had frightened her, so he quickly moved his body a little further away.
Once Lin Qingyu had recovered, she changed the subject, saying, "I just suddenly remembered that I haven't asked you yet which school you're planning to apply to? What are you going to study?"
Without hesitation, Gu Shi answered, "I'll go to the same school as you. Which school do you plan to apply to?"
Lin Qingyu knew he would say that, and had already thought of a countermeasure.
"I remember there's an art academy in Xinshi City that has a fashion design program, but if you get in, what will you study?"
Gu Shi was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought of it. He had always thought that any school he entered would have a major in clothing making.
Lin Qingyu's words reminded him that if he wanted to study something like civil engineering, he couldn't be in the same school.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Qingyu continued, "But I remember there's another school that also has this major."
Gu Shi's heart was pounding at 150 beats per minute. He was terrified that he wouldn't be able to attend the same school as Lin Qingyu. Now, his voice trembled as he asked:
Which school?
"New Stone University, but this university isn't easy to get into!"
After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, she didn't continue. She knew that Gu Shi would investigate the rest.
As expected, Gu Shi didn't say anything after that; he understood what Lin Qingyu meant.
The next morning, Gu Shi got up early and set about doing a few things.
First, they found a house, then left Gu Jue with Li Xiuhua to sleep with.
Then he asked Xiao Zhang to check the situation of Xinshi University so that he could be prepared.
Finally, they took Lin Qingyu with them and first studied the blueprints left by Gu Guohua.
Because Lin Qingyu retained some memories, she knew which designs Gu Guohua liked best, so the general direction quickly emerged.
Finally, the details should be left to the professionals. Gu Shi isn't paying those people so much for nothing.
Before long, Zhang Deyi's information was delivered to Gu Shi's office.
"Boss, are you really going to go to university with your wife?"
Zhang Deyi had never believed it before, thinking that Gu Shi would at most accompany Lin Qingyu to class.
