Chapter 127 An Unexplained Feeling of Closeness
Gu Yuheng is a shrewd strategist in the business world.
They had long since mastered the skill of remaining unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before them.
He subtly observed Niannian with a probing gaze.
I tried to catch a clue from her expression in order to guess what she was thinking.
However, all he could see were Nian Nian's eyes gradually turning red.
"Niannian, why did you suddenly ask that?" His tone was full of heartache mixed with helplessness.
Gu Yuheng slowly raised his hands and gently placed them on either side of the little girl's cheeks.
His fingertips, with their delicate touch, gently caressed the contours of her eyes, each stroke carrying a soothing quality, so tender it was almost unbelievable.
Under the lights, the two sat facing each other.
Su Niannian gazed at the man's pained expression through the warm yellow light.
She wanted to smile and reassure him.
But it felt like someone was holding my lips down, and I just couldn't smile.
"Aheng, I don't know if you can understand my feelings. It's a very subtle feeling. For some reason, I have an inexplicable feeling towards Aunt Lin Wan. If I had to describe it, I would say it's a sense of closeness."
Gu Yuheng maintained a calm expression.
"Niannian, do you feel close to your teacher's wife?"
Su Niannian nodded without thinking.
“Aheng, I’ve always found it strange that when I woke up after losing my memory, the first person I saw was Aunt Lin Wan. I didn’t know who she was because I had forgotten everything, not even who I was. I was always uneasy, but after seeing Aunt Lin Wan, I felt inexplicably at ease and no longer panicked.”
“She took meticulous care of me from the moment I woke up. At that time, I thought Aunt Lin Wan was someone I knew before, but the truth is that after I regained my memory, I found out that I had never met Aunt Lin Wan even once before I lost my memory.”
Speaking of which...
Su Niannian stared intently at Gu Yuheng: "Aheng, why is a complete stranger being so kind to me? Does Aunt Lin Wan have some kind of special relationship with me?"
Her tone implied a certain expectation that even Su Niannian herself was unaware of.
Just like when she was a child, she fantasized that one day a man and a woman who claimed to be her biological parents would come and unravel the mystery hidden in her heart.
It turns out she wasn't a child of the Su family; she was just someone the Su family picked up from a trash can years ago.
Therefore, they don't like themselves.
Gu Yuheng was always meticulous and insightful. He had a pair of keen eyes and pondered for a moment.
That's how they roughly figured out Su Niannian's thoughts.
“Nian Nian…” For the first time, this person, who was usually eloquent, experienced the feeling of difficulty in speaking.
Gu Yuheng's mind was in turmoil as he pondered the situation deeply.
Is it right to tell Nian Nian the whole truth?
However, hidden dangers lurk in the shadows. Nian Nian is simple-minded, and if she knew the truth, she would easily be noticed by the other party because she cannot hide her emotions.
That would only push Nian Nian into unknown dangers.
Moreover, Niannian is currently in her late pregnancy, and her body is becoming increasingly heavy. Even if she doesn't say it, Gu Yuheng knows that the physical burden is making Niannian extremely uncomfortable.
We certainly can't put any more mental pressure on her.
Tell her that if Niannian finds out someone is trying to harm her in secret.
That would only make her live in constant fear.
If anything were to happen to her or her child, no matter who it was, Gu Yuheng would not be able to bear the consequences.
Therefore, under Su Niannian's hopeful gaze, Gu Yuheng was caught in a deep struggle, his heart filled with turmoil.
“Aheng…” Su Niannian broke the silence when she saw that he was not speaking.
Gu Yuheng opened his mouth, feeling his throat was incredibly dry: "Niannian, is it like this..."
A series of Japanese ringtones suddenly interrupted him.
The screen of Gu Yuheng's phone, which was placed to the side, lit up, and the ringtone was still Su Niannian's exclusive music.
"Niannian, I need to take this call." As he said this, Gu Yuheng actually felt a sense of relief.
Su Niannian glanced at the phone in his hand, suppressed her doubts, and said, "Mm."
Gu Yuheng pressed the answer button, and a middle-aged woman's voice quickly came from the other end.
“Mr. Gu, I am Li Li, who takes care of Grandma Su.”
Upon hearing that it was Li Li, Gu Yuheng got up and quietly walked to the railing of the small balcony.
He stood with his back to Su Niannian before asking, "Sister Li, has something happened to Grandma Su?"
There was a momentary pause on the other end of the phone.
Sister Li hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Gu, this morning Grandma Su's son and daughter-in-law came over demanding money, saying that Miss Su married a rich man and has plenty of money, and that Grandma Su should ask Miss Su for the money. Grandma Su disagreed, and Li Xiumei started making a scene. The old lady got so angry that her high blood pressure flared up. I gave Grandma Su her blood pressure medication this afternoon, but I just measured it again and it's still 150/90. The old lady is getting on in years, and I'm worried that her blood vessels can't handle it. I called you to ask if you would like to take the old lady to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"
Li Li was a nurse at a top-tier hospital. Because the salary for full-time home care was higher, she resigned from her hospital position to work full-time as a home caregiver.
Gu Yuheng knew that with her professional skills, if Grandma Su's condition wasn't quite serious...
She'll definitely handle it herself and won't call him.
"Sister Li, please keep a close eye on Grandma Su's condition tonight. I'll go over first thing tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I won't sleep tonight and will keep an eye on the old lady's condition."
The salary Gu Yuheng paid was something she never dared to dream of before, so of course she had to put in 120% effort.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuheng went back to his bedroom.
Su Niannian looked up at him: "Is it about the company?"
Gu Yuheng sat down next to her, holding the phone in his hand, and did not hide anything from her.
“Niannian, Sister Li called me and said your grandma’s blood pressure is a bit high. She suggested we take her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.”
Su Niannian's eyes showed nervousness: "Is it serious?"
Gu Yuheng held her hand: "It's just a little high, 150 systolic. She's already taken her blood pressure medication. I hired Sister Li to take care of Grandma. Just to be on the safe side, she'll definitely report to me if she sees that the old lady's blood pressure is high, just in case she's afraid of taking any responsibility. Actually, it's not as serious as she says. I used to be a doctor, trust me."
Su Niannian felt relieved after hearing the blood pressure reading of 150. Her grandmother had a history of high blood pressure, so she had specifically looked up relevant information online.
Knowing this value poses no risk.
"Then I'll take Grandma to the check-up with you tomorrow."
"Okay, let's get some rest early today."
