Run away
Xia Zhitang nudged Gu Zian, who had been leaning against her belly and listening attentively for a while. "Okay, the baby's movements are still very light. We'll be able to hear them once the baby grows a little bigger."
Gu Zian propped himself up and looked at Xia Zhitang's slightly bulging belly with a reluctant look: "Baby, I hope you grow up healthy."
He picked up the care oil on the bedside and helped Xia Zhitang apply it: "This is said to be very effective, twice a day, apply the oil first and then the ointment."
"Itchy." Xia Zhitang struggled to get up, but was held down by Gu Zian.
"Don't move. You might need to wipe off any areas with wrinkles." His voice was a little hoarse. "Let me help you. Otherwise, you'll be lazy, sister."
"It depends on your genes." Xia Zhitang's eyes flushed slightly. "It's okay if you don't apply it if it's not long."
"Just think of it as a massage, if it helps." Gu Zian avoided Xia Zhitang's belly and pressed her down. "We should do yoga too. Find a convenient time and we can arrange a yoga teacher to come to our house."
"Where did you put it?" Xia Zhitang widened his eyes.
"The tattoo won't just appear on your belly." Gu Zian's lips hovered over the tip of Xia Zhitang's nose. "We have to take care of everything."
Xia Zhitang grabbed Gu Zian's wrist and said, "I can do it myself."
"Sister, it's too late." As soon as Gu Zian finished speaking, he kissed Xia Zhitang's moist lips.
His hands wrapped around Xia Zhitang's, and she felt so uncomfortable that tears were about to fall.
"It will be possible next month. The doctor said it will be possible next month." Gu Zian repeated in a hoarse voice in Xia Zhitang's ear.
Xia Zhitang finally broke free from Gu Zian's shackles and angrily kicked him in the calf: "You will sleep in the guest room until next month!"
Gu Zian gently kissed the corner of Xia Zhitang's mouth: "I was wrong."
Xia Zhitang turned around and faced Gu Zian with his back.
Gu Zian hugged Xia Zhitang from behind, his hand gently stroking her belly: "Dad has chosen a date at the end of next month. He said that when the baby is born, he will transfer 20% of the shares under my name to the baby's name. When the baby is three years old, Dad will transfer 5% of his shares to the baby as tuition."
"Zi'an, we already have a lot." Xia Zhitang held Gu Zi'an's fingers on his lower abdomen.
"After all, the baby is the Gu family's child." Gu Zian kissed the back of Xia Zhitang's neck, "This is what the baby deserves."
Xia Zhitang was held tightly in Gu Zi's arms, unable to break free or hide.
"Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" she said convincedly.
"If it weren't for me, Lin Jingming would have kidnapped you long ago." Gu Zian said and gently bit her neck.
"Zi'an, have you really trusted me?" Xia Zhitang suddenly realized that it was Gu Zi'an who was unwilling to let go.
"If I were really worried about you, I wouldn't give you so much freedom." Gu Zian's lips brushed Xia Zhitang's neck lightly, and the breath that sprayed out from his words was so hot that she couldn't help but shiver.
Xia Zhitang couldn't see Gu Zian's eyes, and rested his hands on the strong arms in front of him: "Are you helpless, or are you really going to let me go?"
"Sister, I can give you freedom, but I need a legal status. I want to be a legally married couple and become the father of a child recognized by the law."
Gu Zian's voice rang in Xia Zhitang's ears. She was in Gu Zian's arms and could not see his expression.
"Zi'an, I want to look at you." Xia Zhitang touched Gu Zi'an's face with his backhand.
"No, sister." He kissed Xia Zhitang's palm, "I don't agree with not getting married!"
His tone was unusually cold: "I want the whole world to know that you are my bride."
Xia Zhitang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Zi'an, if you didn't have children, would you still be so persistent?"
"Sister, we will definitely get married." Gu Zian put his face against the back of Xia Zhitang's head. "You can't live without me, and I can't live without you. It's just that something unexpected happened between us, and you misunderstood me."
"Zi'an, do you know why I don't want to get married?" Xia Zhitang sighed, "I just don't want my baby to be torn between his parents in the future."
"That day will never come."
Gu Zian's arms around Xia Zhitang tightened unconsciously.
"Zi'an, do you know why I suddenly backed off? Because I realized I couldn't give you the love you needed." Xia Zhitang recalled every detail of their past. "Even after marriage and having children, I still hope to be that shining self and work in the industry I love."
"I don't mean to stop you." Gu Zian said in a muffled voice, "You can do the same even if you're married."
"Zi'an, you don't understand what marriage and childbirth mean to women." Xia Zhitang recalled the quarrel in front of the delivery room, Teacher Ye's embarrassment after giving birth, and Mingyue and Cheng Shubai's divorce tug-of-war. She didn't dare to gamble.
"We have enough people to take care of the children. You can continue to pursue your favorite career." Gu Zian buried his face in Xia Zhitang's back. "Sister, becoming a mother is a happy thing."
"Zi'an, your expectations are different from mine." Xia Zhitang closed his eyes, "I'm tired, let me rest."
"Sister, you're just not used to it. How about we find a psychologist?" Gu Zian finally let go of Xia Zhitang and leaned over to look at her.
"I really need to sleep. Pregnant women need enough sleep." Xia Zhitang said cruelly, squinting his eyes.
Gu Zian stared at Xia Zhitang for a long time. Seeing that she really didn't want to open her eyes, he sighed, covered her with a quilt and turned off the light.
Xia Zhitang felt Gu Zian lying down beside her, and she involuntarily turned over with her back to Gu Zian.
The messy thoughts in my mind are like phantoms on a kaleidoscope, constantly changing in my mind.
She wondered for a moment why she was so determined not to get married. The reason that they were simply not suitable seemed a bit far-fetched.
Then he felt that Gu Zian had done nothing wrong. After all, the two of them had always gotten along well, and Tang Ning's matter could not be blamed entirely on Gu Zian.
Finally, Lin Jingming inexplicably flashed through her mind.
On the unfamiliar river bank in Yunnan Province, Lin Jingming's embrace brought her a sense of security.
In the end, the only people who fully understood and supported her were Wang Jiajia and Lin Jingming...
Xia Zhitang just felt that life was sometimes very subtle. As time went by, various relationships were inexplicably exchanged.
As she was thinking about the solution, her body slowly succumbed to the sleepiness of pregnancy and she fell into a sweet dream.
"Where is my sister?"
Gu Zian grabbed Lin Jingming by the collar: "Did you instigate her to leave?"
"I really don't know. She was discussing the budget with me yesterday." Lin Jingming shrugged innocently. "She also agreed to help me with the secondary color grading!"
"Do you think I will believe you?" Gu Zian raised his fist towards Lin Jingming's face.
"Wait, use my phone to call her!" Lin Jingming quickly put his hands up to protect his face. "I want to find her too, use my phone to call her."
Gu Zian's hand, which was raised in the air, slowly fell down. He stared at Lin Jingming for a long time, then shook off his sleeves heavily.
Lin Jingming calmly straightened his wrinkled collar, looked at Gu Zian meaningfully, then took out his mobile phone and opened Xia Zhitang's number under his eager gaze.
He was also considerate enough to turn on the hands-free mode, allowing Gu Zian to hear the content of the call.
After seven or eight seconds, the call was connected.
"Where are you?" Lin Jingming asked before Xia Zhitang could speak.
Gu Zian frowned, feeling something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it.
There was silence on the phone for four or five seconds, with the sound of radio broadcasts faintly heard in the background.
"Zi'an is where you are, right?" Xia Zhitang finally spoke. "Zi'an, don't come looking for me. Even if you rush over right away, it's too late."
"Sister, you are going to leave me again!" Gu Zian felt very aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, I like you and I can continue to be with you." Xia Zhitang's voice was tired, "But, I really don't want to get married."
"You promised me to marry you!" Gu Zian's emotions gradually lost control, "Why did you go back on your word?"
"Because I really wanted to get married back then." Xia Zhitang's tone was extremely calm. "It's my fault. I didn't fulfill the promise I made to you."
"Why? Why don't you want to? I'm so good to you."
Anger, resentment, grievance and other emotions invaded Gu Zian's mind. He really couldn't understand why Xia Zhitang was unwilling to get married.
Lin Jingming looked at Gu Zian, whose face was blushing, and silently took the mug that Xia Zhitang had just given him from the table and put it in the cabinet.
"Zi'an, my thoughts are different from everyone else's. I'm sorry." Xia Zhitang paused and said, "I'll be back after I give birth to the baby. Don't look for me."
The sound of the phone being hung up rang out. Lin Jingming looked at Gu Zian's increasingly angry expression as he wanted to reach out his hand, and immediately snatched the phone back, narrowly brushing past Gu Zian's hand.
He looked at the documents flying like snowflakes with a calm expression: "Instead of getting angry at me, it's better to take action."
"Did you two collude?" Gu Zian grabbed Lin Jingming's collar, "You're acting in front of me together!"
Lin Jingming looked at the angry Gu Zian, his expression becoming sarcastic: "You should think about what you did to force her to abandon her job and leave."
"You must know where she went!" Gu Zian felt that Lin Jingming was so smart that he would not do business at a loss.
"Do you think she will stay in one place if she is determined to leave?" Lin Jingming himself was not sure whether Xia Zhitang would fly along several lines. After all, the world is so big, it wouldn't be that difficult for her to hide if she wanted to.
"Instead of getting angry with me here, why not think of a solution quickly?"
Lin Jingming's eyes and eyebrows were full of sarcasm, but unfortunately Gu Zian, who was in a mess, couldn't see the sarcasm on his face.
"If you can find her, I'll be very grateful. She'll be at a huge loss if I lose this film."
Gu Zian stared at Lin Jingming, panting. There was no trace of panic on his face before he pushed him away.
Lin Jingming bumped into Lin's cabinet with a muffled sound, and sighed as he watched Gu Zian rushing out.
He picked up a few important documents on the floor and put them in the drawer. He took out his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange for someone to clean up the mess before walking to the editing room.
After sitting in the chair and thinking for a while, he transferred some money to Xia Zhitang's bank card - it's not good to be alone outside without some money.
After a while, a message popped up on Xia Zhitang's phone: Thank you, I will return the money to you after we get through this hurdle.
Before Lin Jingming could reply, a new message popped up: Something happened suddenly and I didn’t get to say hello to you. My recent work needs to be handled online. If I’m not back next month, please send me the secondary color grading material network disk.
Lin Jingming suddenly felt angry and amused. This guy was still thinking about his job even after running away.
