After all, it's no secret that Xu Zhaozhao and Gu Qingyan are now husband and wife, so it's not impossible for them to take action against her.
This is one of the troubles of marrying a domineering CEO.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to cause him any trouble.
Shh: Okay.
Shh: Sorry my foot, what private stuff are you talking about between husband and wife?
Shh: [Well-behaved.jpg]
Xu Zhaozhao had tried staying at home for more than ten days without going out before, but this time the situation was different.
The internet at the villa has been cut off!
There's no cell phone signal!
I contacted the housekeeper, who just said he would send someone to fix it, but several days have passed and no one has come.
The message page only shows the last WeChat message sent by Gu Qingyan.
Piglet: Baby, the phone might not have a signal. Don't worry about me.
She thought Gu Qingyan's phone might have no signal, but it turns out it was hers!
He rubbed his forehead and gave a wry smile.
Gu Yulin didn't cling to her either. The villa had been completely sealed off for the past few days, and no teachers had come to give him lessons.
At first, Xu Zhaozhao was worried that he would be bored, but he could lock himself in his room for a whole day, acting mysteriously and not telling Xu Zhaozhao what he was doing.
Xu Zhaozhao wasn't idle either; she took out the wedding invitations and started writing them.
The wedding plans to invite some familiar people from the entertainment industry, the Shengting family, and the Gu and Song families; the guest list is quite long.
She didn't have to write everything by hand; Xu Zhaozhao did write down some of the more important ones.
She spends most of her time practicing calligraphy.
Even I can't stand my own elementary school-level handwriting.
After practicing for a few days, I can write a little bit of cursive, which is quite a sense of accomplishment.
Although writing invitations sounds simple, Xu Zhaozhao actually spent a long time writing them.
A week has passed.
Xu Zhaozhao admired her "clumsy work" for a while, then relaxed her shoulders, neck, and hands.
I grabbed the phone next to me and snapped a lot of photos.
When I opened Weibo, I realized I had no internet connection.
Tsk.
The page is full of loading circles.
Xu Zhaozhao was getting annoyed.
"Mother!"
Before Emo could fully develop his emotions, Gu Yulin's slightly joyful voice broke them up.
Turning her head and seeing her son's handsome face on the stairs, Xu Zhaozhao instantly became happy again.
Gu Yulin rarely showed such obvious excitement. He waved to Xu Zhaozhao, "Mom, come quick!"
"What's wrong?"
As Xu Zhaozhao asked questions, she followed Gu Yulin up the stairs with a smile until they entered Gu Yulin's room—he hadn't allowed her to come in for the past few days.
I saw something covered by a cloth, and Chunshan was circling around it, with a special light shining on it.
"What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"
As Xu Zhaozhao spoke, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
It was a surprise prepared by my dear son!
"Mommy, don't blink!"
Gu Yulin walked to the side of the black cloth and, under Xu Zhaozhao's gaze, pulled it off with a "whoosh".
"Mom, this is a wedding gift for you and Dad!"
Xu Zhaozhao stared blankly at the two block figures reflected in her eyes.
These two block figures are scaled-down versions of her and Gu Qingyan, about three times smaller.
But there are still a lot of building blocks needed.
Her son knows how to choose his image; Gu Qingyan was wearing a suit, and she was wearing a little black dress—they looked like a perfect match.
Xu Zhaozhao had even pieced together her own leg, yet she still didn't recognize it.
For a week, he almost forgot to eat and sleep, putting together building blocks to prepare a wedding gift for her.
If you look closely at Gu Yulin's small hands, you can see faint indentations.
Xu Zhaozhao's tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, and Gu Yulin handed her a tissue he had prepared beforehand.
With a sob in her voice, she asked, "Why aren't there any baby fish?"
Gu Yulin touched his nose somewhat guiltily, his voice a little weak, "Yes..."
He moved a few steps to the side and brought out the two building blocks behind him.
Goodness, his own building blocks are as tall as Gu Qingyan's...
Son, you understand proportions.
The pose was still made to look like it was about to fire a light wave, which was very cute.
His original plan was to drive Gu Qingyan away and protect his mother...
Xu Zhaozhao immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
Another building block set is Spring Mountain, which I ordered recently.
Of these Lego figures, only Chunshan is a life-size Lego figure.
"These block figures must appear at Mom and Dad's wedding!"
Seeing Gu Yulin's hesitant expression, Xu Zhaozhao added, "All of them!"
His ears were visibly red.
...
Yesterday I admired the Lego figures and even guided my four-year-old son in taking photos, which kept us up quite late.
With Gu Qingyan not home, Xu Zhaozhao would be exhausted just blow-drying her own hair.
After taking a shower, Xu Zhaozhao cuddled her son and went to sleep.
The next morning, Xu Zhaozhao got up without waking the sleeping Yu Yu, and tiptoed out of bed.
The windows should be closed; it's a bit stuffy.
She walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and a cool morning breeze blew in.
I was just about to stretch!
Bang!
A loud noise startled the birds in the neighboring woods.
Almost reflexively, Xu Zhaozhao tilted her head to the left, and the dark red bullet grazed her hair as it flew past...
The next second, an alarm sounded in the villa.
But Xu Zhaozhao, in her terror, couldn't hear anything.
When she regained consciousness, she was already slumped on the ground.
Click.
Gu Qingyan, whom I hadn't seen for a week, walked in from outside the door, with faint dark circles under his eyes.
He easily picked her up, placed her on the sofa, took off his coat, and wrapped it around her trembling body.
"It's alright now."
Startled awake, Gu Yulin was already standing beside her, his eyes brimming with tears, looking worried and on the verge of crying.
Xu Zhaozhao's body gradually warmed up, her unfocused eyes looked at Gu Qingyan, and she spoke with difficulty, "Who?"
Gu Qingyan remained silent.
Then he opened his phone, pulled up a surveillance video, and handed it to Xu Zhaozhao.
Yin Qi's hands and feet were handcuffed, but he didn't struggle at all. His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only empty.
His hoodie had some small holes, and his hair and face were covered in mud.
It was a little dirty, but not disheveled.
Even a nine-year-old child, or even a child who isn't nine, shouldn't react this way after a failed shooting attempt.
Xu Zhaozhao knew that his target was not her, but Yu Yu.
She just opened the window by mistake.
Xu Zhaozhao placed the hot water on the table and looked at Gu Qingyan: "Can I see him?"
Gu Qingyan didn't answer her question, but silently put away his phone and carried her outside.
Yin Qi had just been arrested, and the car that was taking him away was not far away.
Xu Zhaozhao did not allow Gu Yulin to follow.
She steadied herself by holding onto a tree, and Gu Qingyan opened the car door.
Yin Qi then turned to look at him, his tone calm, "Can you execute me?"
Gu Qingyan did not answer.
"If that doesn't work, I'll just 'commit suicide out of guilt'."
Yin Qi smiled indifferently: "You'd better kill me, I won't give up killing your son."
He knew how to provoke Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan reached out, grabbed the chain of his handcuffs, and pulled him off the car. He staggered a few steps and came to his feet.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
What kind of lowly NPC dares to treat him like that? Next time, he'll suffer a terrible death!
He had just steadied himself when he saw Xu Zhaozhao not far away, and his eyebrows rose.
Xu Zhaozhao mustered her strength and came to Yin Qi.
"You should understand by now..."
Xu Zhaozhao's voice was soft, but her words were clear: "You can't kill Yu Yu. He's protected by the power center of this world."
Money and power favored him, and even the masses favored him.
"I can assure you he won't destroy the world. My mission was to reform him, and I have succeeded..."
Xu Zhaozhao looked at him and said, "We can achieve a win-win situation."
If he doesn't kill the fish, and the fish don't destroy the world, then the world can function normally.
It can be a win-win situation.
Yu Yu received maternal love, but he didn't fall in love with Tian Tian. He wouldn't turn evil because of unrequited love, and therefore wouldn't be the so-called "big villain".
It's entirely possible for both sides to achieve a win-win situation.
Yin Qi lowered his eyes and didn't move, it was unclear whether he had listened to her words.
"Thank you for reminding me that I've been wrong all along."
Yin Qi looked up at her, his smile not reaching his eyes, "I was wrong all along to think that Gu Yulin was a bug in this world."
Xu Zhaozhao frowned slightly and gripped her suit jacket tightly.
She saw Yin Qi extend his finger, his slender finger pointing at her.
"And you, Xu Zhaozhao..."
His voice was calm and resolute: "You are the bug in this world."
