Chapter 61: I Just Want to Cry
Su Niannian's brain went blank.
A moment of blankness.
She hurriedly got up from Gu Yuheng.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Aunt Chen passing by.
Her face was as red as a ripe tomato.
A surge of emotion welled up within her; she seemed to be becoming increasingly dependent on him...
But I don't know if it's because I can't bear to give up my current life.
Or is it due to him personally?
The man's gaze, hidden behind his glasses, darkened slightly.
However, his eyes were full of restraint.
He moved slightly, as if nothing had happened, and kept holding Su Niannian in his arms.
He looked down at the gift box in her hand.
"What gift did you buy me?"
Su Niannian gave him a grateful smile.
Otherwise, I would be utterly humiliated in front of Aunt Chen.
Her voice was soft and weak: "I saw a tie at the mall today and thought it would suit you perfectly, so I bought it."
"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it." Gu Yuheng smiled.
Su Niannian used to be reserved when she was with him, but as time went by, that feeling was replaced by another unknown emotion.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
It makes me feel anxious.
So, in order to keep myself busy.
Her fair fingers quickly began to unpack the box.
As the beautifully packaged contents were slowly opened...
The neatly folded dark blue tie inside was then revealed.
"I've never bought a tie before, do you like it?" Su Niannian asked expectantly.
Gu Yuheng's high eyebrows twitched slightly as he acknowledged, "It's very suitable for a business style, and I like the color too, so I really like this tie."
It was approved by the parties involved.
A bright smile unconsciously spread across the little girl's face.
Like a spring breeze gently caressing the willow branches, the room is bright.
"I was worried you wouldn't like it." Her tone became relaxed.
“This tie was a gift from Nian Nian.” Gu Yuheng’s fingertips lightly brushed over the smooth texture of the tie. “Would Nian Nian tie it for me herself tomorrow morning?”
"But I don't know how to tie a tie..." Su Niannian said, somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you." Gu Yuheng's dark eyes were filled with a smile.
------
Early the next morning.
After having breakfast, Su Niannian went to the dressing room to fulfill her promise.
When she walked in, Gu Yuheng was already dressed neatly in a well-tailored navy blue suit, which perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
Her hair was meticulously combed back, revealing a full forehead and sculpted features, every inch of which was perfectly proportioned like a sculpted work of art.
Tall and slender, noble and elegant.
Hearing the noise, he turned his head to look at the door.
Su Niannian met his narrow phoenix eyes, paused for a moment, and then stepped in front of him.
"How do I tie it..." she asked, looking at the tie in the man's hand.
With a doting smile, Gu Yuheng held up the tie and demonstrated it on himself, patiently guiding him like a teacher.
That's it, give it a try.
Su Niannian took the bag and, imitating him, wrapped the tie around her neck, holding both ends with her hands and tying a knot.
But while the eyes learn, the hands do something else entirely.
She gripped the collar pouch, her gaze as serious as if she were joining the Party. After a long struggle, she finally managed to tie the tie around Gu Yuheng's neck.
Unfortunately, he lacks professional skills.
She looked at her crookedly tied tie, and her perfectionist instincts kicked in.
She reached out to untie it and re-tie it.
"Let me tie it for you again."
The man's large hand then covered her small hand.
Gu Yuheng looked down and sized it up: "I think it's pretty good, let's leave it at that."
“But people will laugh at you if they see such an ugly tie you’re wearing,” Su Niannian said, puffing out her cheeks.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Gu Yuheng pulled out a preserved plum from somewhere.
It was stuffed into the little guy's mouth.
He smiled and said, "Anyone who dares to laugh at me will be fired."
The warmth of his fingertips still lingered on Su Niannian's tongue.
I have never been treated with such care before.
When she was little, she saw Su Xin eating snacks and wanted some too, but she didn't dare ask her mother for some, so she could only watch.
Because she knew her mother didn't like her, she didn't dare to ask for the food even if she wanted it, and she kept her heart closed off.
So nobody knows that as long as someone is nice to her, she will feel unworthy.
"Where did you take that from?"
As if by magic, Gu Yuheng pulled a small bag of preserved plums from his trouser pocket.
Take the little girl's hand and place it in her palm.
He said affectionately, "One of my employees' wives is also pregnant. I heard him say that when his wife has morning sickness, she eats preserved plums, and then she feels a little better."
"Do you feel any better?"
The comfort in Su Niannian's heart outweighed the shock brought by the taste.
She thought the sweet and sour taste was really delicious.
The wounds left in her heart are slowly being healed by Gu Yuheng.
heal.....
Her nose stung with tears, and something hot welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.
Gu Yuheng noticed that the little girl's eyes had reddened, but Su Niannian kept her head down, not wanting him to see it.
Anxiety welled up in his heart, and he cupped her face in his hands.
This forces her to only see herself.
His voice was filled with concern: "What's wrong?"
With red eyes, Su Niannian shook her head: "You're so good to me. I don't know why, but I just really want to cry."
Gu Yuheng felt a sudden sense of relief.
He was a medical student, specializing in cardiology, but his knowledge from his school days also extended to other departments.
During pregnancy, emotions can fluctuate and become unstable due to hormonal influences. It is normal to experience frequent low moods and inexplicable sadness.
At this time, family members, especially the husband, should provide more care and guidance.
"If you want to cry, just cry it out. Don't bottle it up. It's good to let it all out."
Su Niannian sniffed: "Okay, I'm calmed down now, but I just feel like crying a little."
Gu Yuheng patted the top of her head, his heart aching for the little one even more. Su Niannian was so starved for love that she had become so insecure and easily moved by the slightest kindness from others.
------
After a few days of recuperation, Su Niannian's morning sickness has greatly improved. She no longer feels nauseous at the smell of meat, nor does she feel the urge to vomit bile.
Kyoto University students visit the orphanage to see the children every month.
Today happens to be the day to visit.
The school supplies that Su Niannian bought.
Last night, she and Aunt Chen packed everything up.
According to the children's ages, the items were sorted and packed into two large bags.
Shu Wei came to pick her up in the morning, and took the initiative to carry two large bags and walk towards the car.
"Weiwei, let me carry one."
"No need, I can handle it. You're under special protection now, I'll take care of this little task."
As the strong woman spoke, she took two large strides to the front of the car.
He threw the bag forcefully onto the back seat.
She sat in the driver's seat and beckoned to Su Niannian with her finger: "Niannian, get in the car."
Su Niannian suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu, like a bandit king forcibly abducting a woman.
She got into the car with three black lines on her forehead.
Then, Shu Wei stepped on the gas and sped away.
