Chapter 496 The Pain of Unrequited Love
Looking at Gao Chengze's condition, Zhao Yixuan knew that he must not have slept well last night. He felt emotional again and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know how, so he could only take him upstairs.
The figure guarding the ward was not Yun Che, but Mingli.
Mingli glanced at Gao Chengze and said to Zhao Yixuan cryptically, "I heard there's some new developments with Yanyan. The president is going to handle this and asked me to look after the wife first. He left an hour ago."
I see!
That’s right. Right now, perhaps only Yan Yan’s affairs can attract Yun Che’s attention.
When I talked about it with my father last night, his tone was not very optimistic. It seemed that he was worried that Yun Che would give up his job at the Ministry of Commerce.
After all, in Yun Che's opinion, he had to go back to the Ministry of Commerce for a meeting yesterday and therefore had no time to accompany Su Xiao to the prenatal checkup, and then Su Xiao had an accident. If he had not gone to work at the Ministry of Commerce, none of this would have happened.
But if you think about it carefully, this really has nothing to do with the Ministry of Commerce. Zhou Ruoxi had planned everything madly long ago. Even if she didn't do it yesterday, she would find another suitable time. Yun Che couldn't be with Su Xiao all the time. Su Xiao would always be alone sometimes.
If anyone has to blame someone, he can only blame himself for not being more ruthless at the beginning and just dealing with Zhou Ruoxi.
Since Yun Che was not around, it was convenient for Gao Chengze.
Gao Chengze didn't care where Yun Che went or what he was doing. He ran straight to the bed as if no one was around, staring at Su Xiao infatuatedly, with a sad air all over his body.
Mingli frowned subconsciously and wanted to ask Gao Chengze to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Yixuan, who directly pulled Mingli out of the door.
"Mayor Zhao, you should also know Gao Chengze's feelings for his wife. It would not be good if the president saw it. The president may be back at any time." Mingli said.
"I know. I'm here. I will stop Ache from acting impulsively. No matter what, it was Gao Chengze who saved Su Xiao in time yesterday. For this reason, we should be more polite to him." Zhao Yixuan said.
"But……"
"Alright, it's good that you're loyal to Yun Che, but it depends on the situation. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You stayed with me all night last night, didn't you? Did you have breakfast? Or why not stop by for breakfast and we'll leave when you come back."
Mingli thought about it and felt that this arrangement was indeed feasible. The president was so sad that he had no appetite, but he couldn't. Although he felt sorry for Miss Su Xiao and was sad about it, he had to take care of his health so that he could be at the president's service at any time.
After some persuasion from Zhao Yixuan, Mingli went downstairs to eat something.
Zhao Yixuan returned to the ward.
I saw Gao Chengze still sitting in front of the bed, maintaining the same posture as before, staring at Su Xiao intently.
Zhao Yixuan felt very uncomfortable. He had experienced the feeling of being loved but not being able to be loved. Even now he still missed that relationship and couldn't let go of the person who was weighing on his heart, but compared with Gao Chengze, he still couldn't reach that level.
"The doctor said that she might not wake up so soon. You must have a lot of schedules since you came back. Go and do your work first. I will tell you any new news at any time. When Su Xiao wakes up, I will also tell you the first time. You can come to see her again." Zhao Yixuan said softly.
Gao Chengze was slightly stunned, but he said nothing. Zhao Yixuan also fell silent until a noise came from the room. It turned out that Lan Qiuling came with Yangyang and Nini.
The little ones were missing their mother and didn't even want to go to class. Lan Qiuling couldn't persuade them, so she simply asked for half a day off for them.
Yangyang hadn't had much contact with Gao Chengze, but Nini had called Gao Chengze "Dad" for six years. Even though they didn't see each other much anymore, the feelings were still there. When she saw Gao Chengze, she was startled at first, then, sure it was really him, she hurried in and said, "Dad, you're back?"
When Gao Chengze heard the call, he was stunned and stared at Nini.
Nini continued to speak crisply, "Dad, when did you come back? You also know that Mom was injured, right? Mom is so pitiful. She was shot so many times by the bad guy. I want to kill that bad guy and avenge my mom!"
Because she didn't want the little guy to have any thoughts in his mind, Lan Qiuling only told them that it was some bad people who hurt Su Xiao.
Seeing the little girl burst into tears, Gao Chengze recalled the scene when Su Xiao was injured, and felt heartbroken again. He couldn't help but hug the little girl in his arms, "Don't worry, mom will get better. She can't bear to leave you and will definitely try her best to survive."
"Well, that's why I'm taking a day off from class today. I'm going to wake up Mom, just like we were the ones who woke Dad up when he was unconscious."
Gao Chengze knew that the word "Dad" was not referring to himself, but Yun Che, and he couldn't help feeling sad, but he quickly shook off this tangled and depressed thought.
Lan Qiuling didn't have much contact with Gao Chengze, but when she thought about all those years when Gao Chengze was with her daughter and took care of her, she didn't know what her daughter would have become without Gao Chengze. Especially when she learned that it was Gao Chengze who showed up in time to save her daughter yesterday, she felt grateful to Gao Chengze from the bottom of her heart. She even felt that Gao Chengze was better than Yun Che. If her daughter had continued to follow Gao Chengze, she might have been happy, at least these messy accidents would not have happened.
So, Lan Qiuling received Gao Chengze very politely and started chatting with him enthusiastically.
Gao Chengze is an easy-going person. Although he doesn't know that Lan Qiuling is Su Xiao's biological mother, he is also very gentle and polite to Lan Qiuling. With the presence of Nini and Yangyang, the whole atmosphere is even more harmonious and warm.
This was the scene Yun Che saw when he returned.
He stood at the door, not knowing how to get closer.
It was only when Yangyang spotted him and called out to him that everyone noticed he had returned.
Although her husband and son had advised her not to blame Yun Che, Lan Qiuling couldn't help but resent Yun Che in her heart when she saw her daughter's miserable appearance, so her face looked unhappy.
Yun Che naturally noticed this change as well.
Last night, he was wondering how Lan Qiuling would react, what she would do to him. Last time, for something like that, she slapped him twice without hesitation. What about this time? She probably wanted to kill him even more.
However, Lan Qiuling only glanced at Yun Che calmly for a few times, and was not as angry as he had imagined.
Zhao Yixuan walked over and spoke to Yun Che as if nothing had happened. "You're back? I saw Mingli hadn't eaten all night, so I asked him to go eat something first. How about you? Have you had breakfast?"
Yun Che nodded, without explicitly stating whether he had eaten anything. His deep black eyes glanced at Gao Chengze without any special reaction, and his attention returned to Su Xiao.
Zhao Yixuan called out to Gao Chengze and took Gao Chengze out first.
There was silence in the air, and the overall environment was heavy and depressing.
Lan Qiuling stared at Yun Che silently, her face still stern, her eyes filled with suppressed resentment.
