After A-Xi entered the space, Gu Rong sat in the courtyard waiting for Rong Xin and the others to return.
When she realized that Rongxin had returned, Gu Rong pulled her directly into the room and asked, "Mom, will you sleep with me tonight?"
You know, before, when she wanted to sleep with Gu Rong, Gu Rong refused. Now, he actually took the initiative to ask her to sleep with him. Rong Xin found it a bit strange.
Rong Xin held Gu Rong in her arms and gently asked, "Why do you suddenly want to sleep with Mommy? Do you miss your grandparents?"
Gu Rong listened to the other person's excuse and didn't want to explain any further: "Yeah, I miss them. Can Mom sleep with me? Otherwise, I can't sleep."
Actually, she was planning to wake Rong Xin up at night when Gu Qiang was doing his business, so she could see Gu Qiang's true colors.
This was the only thing she could do before she left.
If we can intervene at that time, it means that this was the outcome of the first life. If there are constraints that prevent us from doing so, it means that Rongxin's fate was just like this.
As Rong Xin listened to Gu Rong's words, she couldn't help but miss her parents, brother, and sister-in-law.
She patted Gu Rong's head and said, "Okay, Mom will sleep with you tonight. You play here for a while while Mom goes to cook."
Rong Xin came out of the room and looked at Gu Qiang, who had returned early: "Why are you back so early today?"
Gu Qiang's eyes darted around, and he chuckled dryly, "There wasn't much work to do today, so I came back early. You're cooking, right? I'll help you cook, I'll start the fire."
"Okay, then you sit and wait a while. I'll go pick out the vegetables and call you when they're ready." Rong Xin didn't think much of it and was even happy that Gu Qiang was willing to help, so she went to the kitchen to prepare the vegetables in a good mood.
Sitting in the courtyard, Gu Qiang began to look around the entire house.
He had lived here with Rong Xin for over a decade, and he was familiar with everything here. He had a clear plan for the night's activities and how to carry them out.
Rongxin had already picked and washed the vegetables in the kitchen, but Gu Qiang still hadn't come over. She looked down and called out, "Xiao Qiang, I've picked the vegetables, come and start the fire."
"Coming," Gu Qiang said, turning his gaze away and standing up as he walked towards the kitchen. As he sat down in front of the stove, he touched the pocket on his side.
When the food was almost ready, Gu Qiang said to Rong Xin, who was serving the dishes, "I'll serve these dishes. Go and call Rong Bao and Xiao Xing to come out and eat."
Rong Xin nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, you handle it while I go call those two out."
After Rong Xin left the kitchen, Gu Qiang took out the sleeping pills he had bought from his pocket.
After peeking into the kitchen and confirming that no one was around, Gu Qiang walked over to the dishes that had been prepared.
He opened the drug in his hand and found that, apart from his favorite dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes with soybeans, he had added some of the drug to all the other dishes and soups.
When he bought the date rape drug, he specifically chose the kind that takes a long time to take effect but lasts a long time.
This was so that Rongxin and the others would appear to be asleep, unaware of his actions, which would make it easier for him to carry out his subsequent plans.
However, Ah-Xi saw everything he did.
After A-Xi told Gu Rong everything, Gu Rong secretly changed all the dishes to normal ones. Then, she sat down at the table and only ate the shredded potatoes.
Seeing that she wasn't eating any of the other dishes, Gu Qiang worried that her sobriety would affect his actions, so he took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat and put it in Gu Rong's bowl.
He even looked at her with concern: "Rongbao, why aren't you eating meat? It's not good to be picky about food, just eat vegetables. Eat more meat."
Under his gaze, Gu Rong put the meat into her mouth and then immediately stored it away in her spatial storage.
She even obediently picked up a piece of meat and put it directly into Gu Qiang's bowl: "Thank you, Dad. Dad, eat more meat too."
Seeing his conflicted expression, Gu Rong deliberately feigned sadness: "Does Dad not like the meat I put on his plate? Or does he think Mom's meat is bad? He didn't eat a single bite today."
As soon as Gu Rong finished speaking, Rong Xin went up to Gu Qiang.
Seeing that he was only eating shredded potatoes today, Rongxin felt that he was indeed acting a bit strange: "Didn't you used to love eating meat the most? Why didn't you eat any today? Did you not have an appetite? Or was the food not to your liking?"
Looking at the meat in his bowl, Gu Qiang felt as if he had shot himself in the foot, unsure whether he should eat it or not.
However, seeing the other three staring at him, he probably had no choice but to eat.
But it was drugged; if he took it, he wouldn't have time to do anything.
Gu Qiang glanced at Rong Xin, rubbed his stomach, and said, "My stomach is a little upset today. I'll just eat some vegetables. You guys can have the meat."
As he spoke, Gu Qiang picked up the meat from his bowl and put it into Rong Xin's bowl: "Wife, you worked hard cooking today. You should eat this meat. It would be a waste if I ate it."
“Your stomach isn’t good, so you really can’t eat too much meat. You should eat more vegetables,” Rong Xin said, though she was still puzzled.
However, Gu Rong didn't give him any other choice. She immediately picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in Gu Qiang's bowl: "Dad, then you should eat more vegetables. Grandpa and Grandma said that if you're not feeling well, it's because you're not eating enough vegetables. Eat more."
Looking at the food in his bowl, Gu Qiang was so angry he wanted to curse.
He could have given an excuse for not eating meat earlier, but now he has no choice but to eat the vegetables in this bowl.
Gu Qiang stared at the food in the bowl for a moment, then decided to swallow it all in one gulp and spit it out later under some pretext.
Moreover, even with such a small amount, he can wake up earlier than others even if he doesn't vomit after eating it.
Gu Qiang gritted his teeth, stuffed the greens into his mouth, and swallowed them whole without even chewing.
Gu Qiang forced a smile despite his discomfort: "Rongbao is so sensible. Dad has eaten, so you should eat more too."
As she spoke, she piled a lot of food onto Gu Rong, Gu Xing, and Rong Xin's plates: "You should all eat more, don't just focus on me."
Caught off guard, Rong Xin put the meat directly into her mouth: "Okay, let's eat more. Tell me when your stomach feels better, and I'll cook more meat for you."
"Okay, you guys eat quickly, I'm full," Gu Qiang quickly finished the rice in his bowl, then sat down and watched them eat, occasionally putting food on their plates.
After dinner, while Rong Xin was washing the dishes, she leaned close to Gu Xing and said, "Brother, shall I take you back to your room to sleep?"
Gu Xing stared at Gu Rong, not understanding why his sister wanted him to sleep: "But I'm not sleepy at all."
Looking at the naive Gu Xing, Gu Rong instructed her word by word: "I'm just asking you to pretend. Just say you're sleepy, go back to your room and lie down. Let's go."
As she spoke, Gu Rong took Gu Xing's hand and said to Gu Qiang in the courtyard, "Brother is sleepy, I'll take him back to his room to sleep."
"Go on, go on," Gu Qiang said, not expecting the medicine to work so quickly. He waved to the two of them and then ran out of the yard to cough up his throat.
