Chapter 58 A Card
Soon, Gu Yuheng's porridge was ready.
He ladled out a bowl of vegetables and placed it on the table along with the chopped pickles.
Let's get ready together.
Only then did he pick up Su Niannian and place her on the high chair.
Having just vomited and feeling nauseous, Su Niannian had no energy to care about anything else.
Only now, being held by Gu Yuheng, did she belatedly realize that she was a little embarrassed.
She glanced at her grandmother and Aunt Chen, her face flushed slightly, and whispered, "Grandma's still here... I can walk by myself."
Gu Yuheng put her on a chair.
He glanced back at the old lady who was laughing and eating melon seeds.
He leaned close to Su Niannian and whispered to her, "Grandma won't laugh at you, because Grandpa used to hold Grandma like this when he was young. It's a fine tradition of our Gu family, and it's hereditary."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the old lady again out of the corner of his eye.
Madam Gu then gave him a thumbs up, indicating that a wife should be cared for, and that's the right way to do it.
Su Niannian didn't notice their interaction; she just thought Gu Yuheng's words were too exaggerated.
She looked at her with suspicion and said, "I've only ever heard that diseases can be hereditary, but can this one be hereditary too?"
Gu Yuheng remained noncommittal: "Of course, all the men in the Gu family are henpecked husbands."
The rich aroma of rice whetted Su Niannian's appetite.
I had just taken a sip of porridge when I heard Gu Yuheng's astonishing remark, and I almost choked.
Her lips twitched: "You're teasing me again."
"You'll see how good I am later." Gu Yuheng patted her little head: "Little girl, eat up."
When Su Niannian met his serious expression, her heart skipped a beat.
She was startled by the sudden sensory stimulation; her body had never reacted so strongly before. For a moment, she mistakenly thought she was having a heart attack.
Su Niannian was a little unsure how to respond, so she gripped the spoon in her hand tightly and squeezed it hard.
She lowered her head to drink her porridge, trying to hide her unusual behavior.

After Su Niannian became pregnant, Gu Yuheng, who was busy with work, would finish his work ahead of time and try to leave work on time.
Gu Yuheng sat behind his desk, having just signed a document.
My phone rang.
He glanced at the file briefly, then closed it, handed it to Gao Xiu, and picked up his phone to answer.
"Yuheng, it's been a while. Let's get together tonight," Shen Baihe said with a smile on the other end of the line.
Gu Yuheng gestured for Gao Xiu to leave and got up from his chair.
He walked to the French windows, stretched his limbs, and took a cigarette from the pack as he spoke.
"I'm busy, you guys go have fun."
He held the cigarette butt in his mouth, his long fingers about to press the lighter, but then stopped. The girl was pregnant, and nicotine was bad for both the adult and the child.
Thinking this, he casually tossed the cigarette into the trash can.
Shen Baihe suddenly remembered the joke Fu Chenting had made earlier.
He joked, "You don't even have a little free time, and you're in such a hurry to go home? Yuheng, are you in a rush to go home and see the kids?"
Shen Baihe probably never imagined that he would be able to speak with such authority in this lifetime.
Unfortunately, he was only half right.
So when Gu Yuheng finished talking about his other half...
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Gu Yuheng: "More or less, but we still have to wait eight months."
"What? Gu Yuheng, you're really pregnant? Oh no, you really got a woman pregnant? When did this happen? Wait a minute, didn't you dislike women? Your grandmother introduced so many girls to you, and you wouldn't even meet them. So where did this woman suddenly come from, bewitching you to the point that you'd abandon all restraint and even get her pregnant?"
He asked a barrage of questions.
The noise was so loud that Gu Yuheng almost wanted to hang up the phone.
“She’s a very nice girl. We’re already married. She’s in the early stages of pregnancy and isn’t feeling well, so I have to go home and be with her. I’ll introduce you two once things stabilize.”
Shen Baihe clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect that the person who wanted to stay single the most would actually get married first. I'm still single. It seems that I should go out and travel more. Maybe I can get married before I turn thirty."
"By the way, where did you meet your sister-in-law?"
Gu Yuheng said calmly, "It's a secret."
Shen Baihe: "......."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuheng glanced at his watch; there were still five minutes left before he had to leave work.
He called Gao Xiu in, took his suit jacket off the rack, and casually draped it over his forearm.
Do you know where to find good desserts?
Gao Xiu is practically an all-around secretary; he's not only literate but can also act as a relationship advisor.
When Mr. Gu asked him where the food was good, he could rattle off a list of restaurants without batting an eye.
"Mr. Gu, there's a dessert shop in the south of the city that's really popular lately. I heard they use all-natural ingredients with no additives at all. My girlfriend often goes there to buy desserts after get off work."
Gu Yuheng nodded slightly: "Okay."
As I passed by Gao Xiu, I patted him on the shoulder as a sign of my approval.
He then strode straight toward the elevator.
As Gao Xiu watched President Gu's retreating figure, he secretly sighed that even a domineering CEO couldn't escape the whirlpool of love.

Gu Yuheng had the driver take a detour to the dessert shop that Gao Xiu had mentioned.
These days, Su Niannian has had a poor appetite due to morning sickness, and even though he tried everything he could, she still had no interest in food.
Gu Yuheng sat in the back seat, looking at the dessert box beside him, hoping that the little girl would eat more later.
Back home, I had just stepped into the living room.
What comes into view is Su Niannian playing with her younger sister.
Su Niannian was tossing a pet ball into the distance.
Then, the little sister leaped up, caught the pet ball, held it in her mouth, and obediently ran to Su Niannian, placing it in her hand.
Hearing footsteps, Su Niannian looked at the man standing at the door and said, "You're back."
Gu Yuheng walked in.
He sat down next to her and patted the little girl's head: "Go find Aunt Chen for dinner."
"Woof woof woof"
The little girl called out in agreement, then ran off to find Aunt Chen.
Su Niannian watched it run into the kitchen, then looked away and her gaze fell on the box next to Gu Yuheng.
The next moment, the pink box was placed in her hands.
"What is this?" she asked, puzzled.
Gu Yuheng raised his hand to untie the bow on the box, his gaze fixed on the action in his hand, and said casually, "I passed by a cake shop on my way home from get off work, thought it looked pretty good, and bought one."
Su Niannian watched as the box was opened, revealing the tempting green grape mousse inside.
She looked up, her eyes sparkling: "Aheng, how did you know I wanted to eat mousse cake?"
Gu Yuheng deliberately feigned surprise: "Really? Then Nian Nian and I are truly on the same wavelength."
He knew the girl was very considerate of others. If she knew it was him who had gone out of his way to buy it, she wouldn't want to trouble him and might say she didn't like it next time.
“Let’s go to the bedroom, Niannian, I have something I want to give you.”
Su Niannian was completely confused by her serious expression.
The two returned to the bedroom and had just sat down on the small sofa.
Then Gu Yuheng took a card out of his pocket and handed it to Su Niannian.
