The two things Xia Hong mentioned were exactly what Gu Ziling wanted to know immediately.
It's even clearer that the incident involving the child back then had a significant impact on Xia Hong's heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have had her previous illness.
"Why did you return to China early instead of coming to see me?"
They compromised anyway.
Since that matter can't be brought up again, let's not mention it.
What's past is past. What could be more important than the woman in front of me?
Xia Hong let out a sigh of relief, then closed her eyes briefly.
"I finished my studies ahead of schedule and came back."
The words were simple, but everyone understood that things were not peaceful at all.
How much pressure must one be under to successfully complete a five-year academic program in just two years?
Gu Ziling isn't stupid; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the head of the management department at such a young age.
"Is it because...sickness?"
Although it was a question, both of them understood that it wasn't.
Xia Hong's body trembled slightly; clearly, she had been touched.
Even if he doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean the man can't guess the situation.
I pinched my palms with my fingernails, trying to make the sound from my throat as calm as possible:
"yes."
With just one word, many things can be definitively concluded.
Gu Ziling opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out. Xia Hong's eyes were already completely red.
"Are you happy now, Second Young Master Gu?"
"I..." Gu Ziling was about to speak when Xia Hong couldn't hold back and ran away. In that instant, Gu Ziling could clearly see that Xia Hong's face was covered with tears.
She wanted to chase after him, but at this moment Gu Ziling froze in place, a forlorn smile appearing on her face once again.
What could you say or do if you chased after them?
The deafening sound of fireworks exploding in the air around them made Gu Ziling gaze at the dazzling fireworks in the sky.
His shadow stretched long, exuding an extraordinary loneliness.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanying had been keeping a close eye on Gu Ziling and the others. Seeing Xia Hong run away crying, she became anxious, but Gao Dan stopped her.
"They need to break their current relationship pattern. If you still want them to get back together, don't go there now. Let them cool off. They're both adults; they know what they're thinking."
Indeed, Gao Dan's words were very convincing.
Ye Wanying understood, and stopped in her tracks. She looked over there, but Xia Hong's figure was gone, leaving only the figure of Gu Ershao still looking up at the sky.
"Forget it, let's ignore them."
Just like my husband said, we're all not young anymore, we're all adults, and we can handle our own problems.
Especially when it comes to matters of the heart, it's best for outsiders not to interfere.
"Um."
The man responded with satisfaction.
The little one, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to its surroundings while setting off fireworks. After all the sparklers were gone, the little one was quite reluctant to leave.
"Mommy, why are they gone?" I wanted to set off fireworks.
Ye Wanying squatted down and pinched her son's cheek:
"Alright, it's already one o'clock, go back to sleep."
It's not comfortable yet!
You should know that Xia Hong only set off one sparkler at the beginning, and this little guy set off the other eight or nine sparklers. How dare he complain now?
"Aww!"
The couple exchanged a helpless glance, then each took one of the child's hands and walked towards the Ye family's house.
As the little guy passed by the still-stunned Young Master Gu, he shouted loudly:
"Second Uncle, it's time to go home and get some sleep."
