Chapter 64 The Unpredictable Heart
"What about my wife? Is she feeling well?" Gu Qingheng forced a smile.
The palm of his hand stroked Lin Xi's long hair.
"Okay. You don't have to worry about me. I'm at home today. You can take a leave and we can go to the hospital for a check-up, okay?" Lin Xi was really worried.
"I always feel that it's not right to catch a cold so often."
"You're overthinking it. It's just a cold, it's okay." Gu Qingheng said in a comforting tone.
"All right."
They lingered for a while and talked a lot.
Lin Xi reluctantly let Gu Qingheng go to work.
After spending the whole morning together, Lin Xi drove back to the Lin Mansion.
The first thing I did when I got home was to see the baby.
Mom Xiuyun came out of the room when she heard the noise, "Xixi, you're back so soon?"
"Gu Qingheng has to go to work, and the Gu company is very busy."
Xiuyun wanted to say something but stopped herself. Forget it, she still had the upper hand on Chen Yan.
Lin Xi picked up the child, coaxed him in her arms for a while, and played with him for a while.
Xiao Zhaoyun giggled, and Lin Xi also laughed.
Kiss your son's chubby little face.
Said to Xiuyun: "Mom, go make some milk powder. Our little Zhaoyun wants to have lunch."
The baby has become plump and white due to the care he has received during this period, and feels soft when held in my arms.
Lin Xi is such a lovely mother!
After feeding Xiao Zhaoyun, Lin Xi put him in the crib and coaxed him for a while. After he fell asleep, she tiptoed out of the room.
Taking care of the child was tiring, so she went back to her room and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
After a while, Lin Xi will return to work at the company.
…
I slept until three or four in the afternoon and was woken up by Xuedan's call.
"Hello." Lin Xi said vaguely, half asleep and half awake.
"I'm going to the Lin Mansion soon. I bought a gift for my godson."
"Oh." Lin Xi was almost woken up by Xuedan's words.
Slowly opening his eyes, he said, "Okay."
"Yeah." Xuedan hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
After lying down for a while, I got out of bed and changed into home clothes, as pajamas were not suitable for meeting people.
Xuedan not only came, but also brought his son.
Her son is a few months older than Lin Xi's son. When the two children are put together, the contrast is particularly obvious. Lin Xi's child is fair and tender and especially cute.
Xuedan's child has big eyes, wheat-colored skin, and a serious expression, very similar to his father Chen Jialian.
"I didn't expect Xiao Zhaoyun to be such a sweet girl." This was Xuedan's evaluation.
"What sweet girl? My son is handsome."
"Your son is indeed. But Gu Qingheng is quite manly and not that handsome." Xuedan said.
Lin Xi was speechless for a moment, then said, "Can't you be like me?"
"Well, you are indeed a sweet girl. Xiao Zhaoyun, why are you so beautiful as a grown man? You make my son look unattractive."
"Tsk~" Lin Xi laughed.
Looking at Gu Zhaoyun carefully again, she is indeed beautiful.
This beauty is exactly the same as Shen Yan's.
Chen Yan is beautiful, with delicate features that are more attractive than women.
"It's all because Chen Jialian is so ugly. Oh, what a pity! If little Zhaoyun were a girl, she would have grown up to be a stunning beauty. She'd definitely be prettier than your mother. Xixi, are you still going to have a second child?"
"What?"
"To reserve a daughter-in-law. If you can't marry the eldest daughter of the Shen family, marrying the eldest daughter of the Gu family is also very good."
Lin Xi wanted to say something but stopped herself, her face flushed red.
Two days ago, Chen Yan told her that he wanted to have another daughter.
The events of the past two days came to mind again...
Trying to be calm, he said, "No. One is enough for now."
"Then I will try to have a daughter next time."
"Are you still alive?"
"Yes, we have to have another child... Chen Jialian's mother told us to have one... She said one child would be too lonely, and we should pair them up so they can rely on each other when they grow up."
"Ah, my life is so hard." Xuedan felt that she was now a completely good woman.
When I think about how free and easy and happy I was before marriage.
Now I stay at home every day to take care of the children and take care of my husband.
My mother-in-law has a company, which was left by Chen Jialian when he started his business. It is now run by my mother-in-law. The business has been booming in recent years. Xuedan has to accompany her to the gatherings of dignitaries and ladies.
I chatted a lot with Lin Xi again, and I could hear Xuedan's complaints in her words.
On the other hand, Lin Xi's side, Gu Qingheng doesn't care about her, and she doesn't care about Gu Qingheng either. She still has the "love" of her ex-husband, and now she has a son, so she can be said to be living a happy life.
The only mixed feeling is that I feel sorry for Gu Qingheng.
…
It’s getting late, Xuedan wants to go home.
Lin Xi also wants to have dinner.
At ten o'clock, Chen Yan came to visit Gu Zhaoyun.
The DNA report came out, and Chen Yan looked at Zhao Yun and thought everything was fine.
He also became more enthusiastic towards Lin Xi.
After a fierce duel, Lin Xi fainted.
When Xiuyun went downstairs to get some water in the middle of the night, she saw Chen Yan in the kitchen.
Xiuyun stepped forward and said, "Xiao Shen."
Chen Yan was grinding coffee to drink. When Xiuyun saw it, she asked, "How can you fall asleep drinking coffee so late at night?"
"I have work to do." Lin Xi had already fallen asleep, and Shen Yan also felt a little dizzy.
But since I have brought the documents and computer, I will just do the work.
"Oh, okay."
Xiuyun drank the water and left.
It was past two o'clock when Chen Yan finished his work.
I looked at my son again and saw that Gu Zhaoyun was sleeping soundly.
He also went to sleep with his child's mother in his arms with peace of mind.
At this moment, they were truly a family of three. The bond between them flowed with the blood of Chen Yan and Lin Xi.
The night continues, Shen Youzhen is wearing a suspender silk nightgown, hot and scorching.
I waited and waited for Gu Qingheng, but he never showed up.
So he called. When the call was connected, Shen Youzhen was about to be delighted, but he heard the woman on the other end of the phone, "What do you want? Qingheng is asleep."
The person speaking was Chen Ganggang.
"Who are you? Why are you with Brother Qingheng?"
"Who are you?"
"I, I am Brother Qingheng's sister."
"Oh, your brother is asleep. Let's talk about it in the morning."
After he finished speaking, Chen Ganggang hung up the phone.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her bright red nails with a smug smile. She finally got Gu Qingheng.
He returned to bed and fell asleep next to Gu Qingheng.
The next day, early in the morning.
Shen Yan turned over and got down,
Lie down next to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi pulled the quilt and fell into silence.
The man was going to take a shower and get dressed, and the woman was still a little sleepy, so he went to work and she continued to sleep at home.
At around ten o'clock, Lin Xi was awakened by a phone call.
This time it was Shen Youzhen who called. Shen Youzhen said anxiously, "Brother slept with a woman last night, did you know?"
"I don't know. Besides, how did you know? Your brother slept with another woman, how could he know better than me, his wife?"
Shen Youzhen couldn't say that she was Gu Qingheng's mistress, right?
Now Xiao Si has been found.
"Sister-in-law, are you really not worried about my brother? I'm afraid he'll be seduced away by other women. Who wouldn't want to marry into a wealthy family these days? There are plenty of women who dream of making a big splash."
"Of course I'm not worried about my husband. I trust him."
Shen Youzhen was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, nothing else, I'll hang up."
After being hung up, Shen Youzhen cursed, "Stupid woman. You really deserve to be labeled."
Shen Youzhen asked someone to investigate and finally found out that it was Chen Ganggang.
In a rage, he went to find Chen Ganggang to argue. At the backstage of the TV station, “Bang!”
A slap hit Chen Ganggang in the face.
"You bitch, you seduced my brother, I'm here to teach you a lesson on behalf of my sister-in-law."
One slap was not enough to vent his anger, Shen Youzhen wanted to hit him again.
However, Chen Ganggang was no pushover either. This time, he caught it directly.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said I seduced your brother, where's the evidence? Also, who is your brother, and who are you?"
The TV station's top host was beaten and called a mistress. Such explosive gossip attracted a lot of people to watch.
"You were with my brother last night, didn't you know?" Shen Youzhen refused to say the three words Gu Qingheng, fearing that it would affect the Gu family's innocence.
"Please tell me your brother's name. Otherwise I will call the police."
Chen Ganggang's words did not scare Shen Youzhen at all.
"Then report it. I'm afraid of you."
"You said you beat me up because of your sister-in-law. Your brother has a wife, and she won't come forward, so you come. What's your intention? Miss, you are really ridiculous. Get ready for my lawyer's letter."
Some people are about to raise their phones, and are confused as to what they are watching.
"Come on. Whatever. I'm telling the truth. I'm not afraid." Shen Youzhen didn't even have to think about it. Even for Gu Qingheng, even if he received a lawyer's letter, Chen Ganggang couldn't do anything because of Gu Qingheng.
Besides, a wealthy family like Chen Ganggang with a net worth of over 100 million is not really considered rich!
After walking out of the TV station, Shen Youzhen drove to Gu Group.
Went to meet Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng was still busy, and was very cold throughout, treating Shen Youzhen with indifference.
"Brother, what happened between us? Why did you..."
Until Gu Qingheng raised his eyes to look at her, his pupils were moved again.
Shen Youzhen hadn't noticed yet, and he kept nagging about Gu Qingheng.
She put her arms around Gu Qingheng's neck coquettishly, lay down behind her, and kissed her cheek. "Are you really angry? Is it because I found Lin Xi?"
"You are not allowed to mention her."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
Why, every time Gu Qingheng saw this face, she would forgive Shen Youzhen, and would involuntarily want to get closer, wanting to possess him to the extreme.
The two of them started to get heated in Gu Qingheng's office.
…
Shen Youzhen didn't understand Gu Qingheng's feelings for Lin Xi at all.
So how could Shen Youzhen dare to come and provoke Lin Xi?
Who is Chen Gang? He is the mistress against the mistress, helping the original wife to deal with the mistress.
***
The autumn wind is bleak, and northern Beijing in late autumn is like a dream and a picture, but the picture is desolate.
Gu Qingheng's cold is still the same, and he has lost a lot of weight.
Lin Xi moved back to the Gu family home, and the child was taken care of by Mrs. Gu. Anyway, this grandmother especially loved taking care of her grandson and never got tired of it.
When Gu Qingheng returned home from get off work in the evening, he fell ill.
The low-grade fever knocked down the 1.80-meter-tall man.
However, he refused to take medicine, seek check-ups, or receive treatment.
Just stand firm.
Lin Xi tried to persuade him, but it was of no use. He always said, it was just a cold and not to take it too seriously.
"What's wrong with you? I'm really a little scared." Lin Xi lay on Gu Qingheng, feeling heartbroken.
"It's all my fault. I ignored you, right...?"
"Stop talking, it's too noisy." Gu Qingheng wanted to have a quiet sleep.
Even though he was feeling very unwell, his tone was gentle when he said this.
"Okay, I won't say anything."
Lin Xi held back her tears and kissed Gu Qingheng on the forehead.
After that, I lay down beside Gu Qingheng, but I didn't dare fall asleep because I felt a vague uneasiness in my heart, always feeling that I would lose Gu Qingheng. I don't know why, it's inexplicable.
Until the second half of the night, when Gu Qingheng's body temperature returned to normal, he hugged her again and kissed her. Lin Xi accepted this subtle and silent affection with guilt.
She thought about never caring about Gu Qingheng for the rest of her life, letting Gu Qingheng be free for the rest of his life, loving him, and trying her best to compensate him.
But Gu Qingheng didn't think so at all.
Seeing Lin Xi sad, the light in his eyes dimmed.
From that day on, Gu Qingheng stopped going home.
Lin Xi called, but the person on the other end spoke perfunctorily and coldly.
Once, Lin Xi went to the company to find Gu Qingheng, but found that Gu Qingheng was not in the company.
Because Old Madam Gu said that Gu Qingheng is not doing his job properly now and no one knows where he is fooling around.
As a wife, her job was to win her husband back, a task given to her by Old Madam Gu.
So, Lin Xi looked for Gu Qingheng for a long time, and finally knocked on Chen Ganggang's door.
After Chen Ganggang opened the door, Lin Xi said expressionlessly, "Where is Gu Qingheng?"
"What?! You're looking for your husband, why are you looking for me?"
"Let me in, I want to find Gu Qingheng." Lin Xi was about to break in immediately.
He was stopped by Chen Ganggang. "My home, why should you be allowed to enter so casually? It's incomprehensible."
So I have to close the door.
"Chen Ganggang!" Lin Xi shouted angrily.
Chen Ganggang was stunned.
"I have something important to discuss with Gu Qingheng. Let me in."
Chen Ganggang has her own thoughts. She is a well-known celebrity. Ever since Shen Youzhen made a scene, there have been gossips. If she is really caught, then it would be confirmed that she is the third party.
So no matter what, Lin Xi must not be allowed to find Gu Qingheng in her room.
"If you continue like this, I'll ask security to take you away."
Lin Xi suddenly felt very tired and didn't even have the energy to say another word.
"It's up to you. Gu Qingheng must have heard us talking so loudly. Since he doesn't want to come out, forget it. I'm so disappointed!"
Lin Xi turned and left.
After going downstairs, it started to drizzle outside.
Lin Xi raised her head, stretched out her hands, and let the tears fall.
The rain and tears mixed together, and finally no one knew that she was crying.
She closed her eyes and frowned.
She suppressed her sad emotions. Why were there always so many women interfering in her marriage? It was the same with Shen Yan and Gu Qingheng.
Back in the car, I called Mrs. Gu.
When Madam Gu found out, her voice dropped. "My son has always been my pride. When did he become obsessed with women?"
Gu Qingheng is the one who doesn't like women.
Lin Xi remained silent.
Because she doesn't know either.
People change at will.
"People's hearts are fickle, and fireworks are easily extinguished." Lin Xi replied to Mrs. Gu.
