He has a lot of work to do and needs to return to Beijing to handle it.
There are also many meetings that I need to attend.
However, Gu Guanhai felt somewhat regretful that he couldn't wait for Xuancao to return and couldn't witness the scene of the mother and daughter recognizing each other.
But.
His regrets go far beyond that.
He has made his choice between his country and his family.
Since he couldn't have both, the only thing he could do was to stop pursuing the matter.
Seeing Gu Guanhai's dejected appearance, Qin Xiangdong felt a pang of sadness, but...
Regardless of his thoughts, Gu Guanhai packed his bags early the next morning.
Moreover, this time his luggage was even larger than when he left last time.
He even gathered up his daily toiletries and other miscellaneous items and sent them back to his home.
Yu Mingxiang came out of the kitchen after making breakfast and frowned slightly when she saw the large backpack placed at the front gate.
"Dinner's ready."
As usual, she casually called people to eat.
Upon hearing the commotion, Qin Weiguo and Qin Xiangdong immediately went to the kitchen and brought the food to the backyard.
Gu Guanhai followed Yu Mingxiang to the backyard for a meal.
At the dinner table.
"Your patient meal."
As usual, Yu Mingxiang pushed Gu Guanhai's special hospital meal in front of him.
Everything proceeded as naturally as ever.
But.
Qin Weiguo and his two companions, who were usually chattering away at the dinner table, were unusually silent.
Habits are a terrible thing.
Over time, they had truly grown accustomed to Gu Guanhai's presence.
Knowing that he was leaving, and that this time he would probably never come back to live here again, Qin Weiguo and Qin Xiangdong felt a little reluctant to part with him.
They were alright; being big, rough men, they wouldn't show it too obviously, no matter how reluctant they were. But Xue Ru was different.
She glanced at Gu Guanhai secretly, then glanced at him again, her eyes slightly red.
"Uncle Gu, are you really leaving?"
She muttered.
Gu Guanhai nodded. "Yes."
Xue Ru: "Waaah! You're gone. If Tuanzi gets sleepy again, who's going to comfort her?"
These words were spoken.
Gu Guanhai: ...
The little bit of emotion I felt vanished instantly.
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
I was just thinking that my daughter-in-law was being a bit too sentimental, but then...
In the end, he was defeated by his daughter-in-law's exceptionally practical and emotional nature!
She glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Uncle Gu isn't our family's housekeeper!"
"Tuanzi is past the fussy phase of February now. Even when he's sleepy, it's only sometimes. Why can't we comfort him?"
Xue Ru: ...
She glanced at her mother-in-law with a troubled expression and muttered, "Mom, you make it sound so easy, as if we can easily coax her."
Her son, well, what can I say?
In front of Uncle Gu, she was as obedient as a kitten.
In front of them...
hehe.
That guy is a debt collector.
Xue Ru truly didn't want Gu Guanhai to leave, but...
Whether she's willing to part with it or not is not important.
After the meal, Gu Guanhai drank the last bowl of "honey water" that Yu Mingxiang handed him, then went to the front yard and picked up his luggage.
Yu Mingxiang and Qin Weiguo followed closely behind and escorted him to his doorstep.
Their eyes met.
Gu Guanhai glanced at Yu Mingxiang, said "Take care," and turned away.
Watching his departing figure, Yu Mingxiang finally couldn't help but call out to him.
"Gu Guanhai!"
