The next morning, Song Qingyou woke up first and quietly got out of Fu Wenzhou's arms to go out and wash up.
Thinking about the commotion last night, she felt a little worried, but also worried that it might just be a hallucination from being too sleepy. After washing up, Song Qingyou went to Gu Bai's tent and called out through the curtain, "Gu Bai? Xu Zezhan? Are you there?"
The curtain was pulled open from the inside, revealing Gu Bai's handsome face.
He still spoke in that carefree tone: "Getting up so early? Rushing to work? Sister-in-law, you're too dedicated."
Song Qingyou looked at him questioningly for two seconds, her gaze lingering on Gu Bai's lips: "Why is your lip cut? And why is your face so red?"
Gu Bai's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and returned to his previous nonchalant demeanor: "Hey, there are a lot of bugs on the mountaintop. I got bitten, but it's nothing serious. By the way, has Wen Zhou gotten up yet?"
"No." Song Qingyou shook her head. Out of politeness, she didn't look inside, but asked, "Where's Xu Zezhan?"
Song Qingyou noticed that Gu Bai's face visibly turned cold when he heard the name Xu Zezhan, and his voice became stiff: "He went down the mountain last night and isn't with us."
"At night?" Song Qingyou exclaimed in surprise, "He didn't drive; he walked home by himself at night?"
Gu Bai forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "He's gone mad, Song Qingyou, Xu Zezhan has gone mad."
Song Qingyou didn't know whether he meant Xu Zezhan's madness as the chapped lip or his coming down the mountain at night, but she was always very observant. She noticed that Gu Bai's shirt was missing two buttons, his pants were wrinkled, and he was in a strange position.
He was standing at a strange angle.
Song Qingyou was surprised and suspicious, vaguely sensing something, but after glancing at Gu Bai's embarrassed and humiliated face, she ultimately said nothing, and simply changed the subject in a very soft voice: "Should we stay a little longer?"
Gu Bai didn't want to stay here any longer: "No, let's leave right now. Go wake Wen Zhou up, I'll pack my things."
"Okay." Song Qingyou turned around and went back to call Fu Wenzhou.
After waking him up, she took out the fever reducer and bottled water that Fu Wenzhou had prepared from her backpack, found Gu Bai and handed him the medicine: "These are medicines Fu Wenzhou prepared to prevent colds. It's windy on the mountain at night, so taking one will make you less likely to get sick."
Gu Bai was silent for a few seconds, then took the bottle and drank it with mineral water. He wouldn't go against his body.
"Thanks."
Song Qingyou: "It's nothing."
Fu Wenzhou frowned after hearing that Xu Zezhan had gone down the mountain early: "He really has too much free time."
Gu Bai didn't say anything, and got into the car.
He paused for a moment, then froze.
Why is there a seat cushion?
His heart tightened, and his face grew paler and paler. He wondered if he had given anything away that morning, and if Song Qingyou knew something.
But when he looked up and saw that there was one in every seat, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Song Qingyou got into the car and sat down. She turned back to him and smiled, "The mountain road was too bumpy. I felt uncomfortable sitting here when we came. Fortunately, Fu Wenzhou prepared a car mat, so I put it on. You can take it off if you don't like it."
Her words made perfect sense, and Gu Bai finally felt completely relieved. He sat down on the soft cushion, and the pain in that area lessened. Otherwise, he really didn't know how he would have survived the journey through the mountains.
Gu Bai looked at Song Qingyou gratefully and said sincerely, "Song Qingyou, thank you so much. I'll have my brother sign some projects with the Song family later and get you more funding."
Song Qingyou chuckled and cleared her throat: "Okay."
Fu Wenzhou opened the car door and got in, his voice languid: "What are you chatting about that makes you so happy?"
Song Qingyou said, "Gu Bai said he would help me get business."
Fu Wenzhou turned the car key and laughed upon hearing this, "So you're planning to trick your brother again."
Gu Bai cursed, "Who's trying to screw over their brother? Although I may look like a spoiled brat, I do contribute to the Gu family."
Fu Wenzhou: "Yes, it was that little bit of effort that almost caused Uncle Gu and Gu Yu to lose tens of millions of dollars."
Gu Bai: "...But didn't we reach an agreement later?"
"If I remember correctly, it was Xu Zezhan who helped you negotiate?"
"..."
Gu Bai didn't want to hear Xu Zezhan's name, so he turned his head and looked out the window without saying a word.
Fu Wenzhou frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Song Qingyou whispered, "Let's not mention Xu Zezhan's name for now. They must have... argued last night."
Fu Wenzhou was speechless: "They're all grown up and still arguing all the time. They're really just bored out of their minds."
Song Qingyou thought to herself, "Aren't you the same?"
The road down the mountain was quicker than the road up. Fu Wenzhou first dropped Gu Bai off at his home, and then drove towards Yalin Villa.
As he got out of the car, Fu Wenzhou said while taking things out of the trunk, "Our wedding room is almost ready. We'll move in after the wedding."
"A wedding room?" Song Qingyou asked in surprise, "When did you buy it?"
Fu Wenzhou: "The year you married Fu Tingshen."
"You started buying a house for your wedding when you were 18?"
"Hmm." Fu Wenzhou carried the tent and travel bag home, his tone casual: "Prepare early so I can marry you anytime."
Song Qingyou watched his retreating figure, speechless for a moment.
"Didn't you ever think that if I didn't divorce Fu Tingshen, wouldn't all the money you put into preparing our wedding house have been wasted?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Fu Wenzhou turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with an unwavering determination: "Baby, I remember telling you a long time ago that you would be mine sooner or later."
Song Qingyou: "Indeed."
Fu Wenzhou chuckled, a smile radiating indulgence and nonchalance: "Come inside, it's windy outside."
