Mo?
Xu Zhaozhao looked at the broken teacup and blinked.
The wedding that was just around the corner is going to be canceled?
The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat frozen.
"The call came to me."
Song Zhiyu eased the tension and patted his head, "Don't get so agitated, Xiao Yan can handle it."
Xu Mingxu gave a soft snort and turned his face away.
Although Xu Zhaozhao had little contact with Gu Ru, she knew that he wouldn't say anything good about her.
He already looked down on her, and to Xu Mingxu, every word she said was a denigration of his daughter.
The fact that they didn't kick Gu Qingyan out the moment they saw him today is already a sign of leniency.
Although a background check is definitely going to be conducted, it's not certain that they'll be able to find out everything, since Xu Mingxu's identity is being kept secret.
Gu Ru never bothered to spend time on her, and he certainly didn't agree to her continuing to be with Gu Qingyan.
No one spoke again, and the atmosphere plummeted to freezing point.
"Mother!"
Gu Yulin's clear voice came as he selected several cat-themed outfits from the clutter.
He walked up to Xu Zhaozhao in two quick steps and displayed the little clothes in front of her.
"Look at the little clothes I picked out for Chunshan! Aren't they cute? Will Chunshan like them?"
His lively tone eased the tension in the room considerably.
Xu Zhaozhao picked up the small clothes he handed her and looked at them.
It's all in pink and purple tones, perfect for little female cats, so cute.
"It's beautiful, Haruyama will definitely like it!"
Xu Zhaozhao patted his head.
Now that Gu Yulin is back, it's not appropriate to continue discussing this issue in front of the children.
Gu Qingyan cleaned up the broken pieces of the teacup on the table, gently wrapped them in a handkerchief, and then threw them into the trash can.
He picked up a cloth from the side and wiped the water off the table. The ring on his ring finger dazzled the eye under the overhead light.
"Dad, Mom, I will give you an explanation."
"You'd better be."
Xu Mingxu retorted.
Song Zhiyu slapped his shoulder again, but ultimately said nothing.
After Gu Yulin said goodbye to his grandparents, the three of them left the Song family compound.
It was already evening, and the faint lights from outside the car window streamed into the driver's seat, casting irregular shadows on his handsome face.
Xu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.
When she got home and wanted to talk to him, he was called away by a phone call, while Xu Zhaozhao was dragged by Gu Yulin to help Xiaochunshan try on clothes.
Xu Zhaozhao only returned to her room after Xiaochunshan had been so exhausted that he refused to get dressed.
Gu Qingyan had just come out of the bathroom, his hair was half dry, and his black bathrobe made his skin look even whiter.
It's because Peter Pan tore it up himself last time.
Ding ding ding...
Just as I was about to talk to him, his phone rang anxiously again.
He tried to go to the balcony, but Xu Zhaozhao grabbed his hand and looked at him warningly.
It's not that they won't let him answer the phone, it's that they won't let him leave.
Gu Qingyan didn't try to hide it and answered the phone right in front of her.
"Yes. That's the set. Use the size I gave you."
"I do not accept a replacement model."
He then hummed in agreement a few more times before hanging up.
He grasped Xu Zhaozhao's hand in return, and with a gentle pull, she was right in front of him.
He was busy all night, and Xu Zhaozhao got a little grumpy.
With her head down and her voice muffled, she said, "It's not that rushed, is it? I don't even know if the wedding will be able to take place..."
The next second, her chin was grabbed, the back of her head was held, and her breath was taken away. Like a fish on the verge of suffocation, she could only tilt her head back to meet him.
He pressed his fingers deep into the slightly prominent veins on the back of his left hand.
Xu Zhaozhao knew exactly why—she had said something he didn't want to hear again.
She was released just as she was about to suffocate, and as she struggled to breathe, a dog bit her lower lip hard.
His slightly flushed face and eyes were tinged with lust, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
He whispered in her ear, "We'll take the baby home, even if we have to."
Xu Zhaozhao blinked blankly, but the slight pain on her lips brought her back to her senses.
She reached out and hugged him back, sighed softly, and hated herself for being so easily soft-hearted towards Gu Qingyan.
"Let me go first, let me see your injury."
Gu Xiaogou was obedient now, loosening his grip so that Xu Zhaozhao could look down and see the injury on the back of his hand.
The wound, which had just scabbed over, started bleeding again after Xu Zhaozhao's fingernail poked into it.
"Should."
She gave him a light scolding.
Not only here, Xu Zhaozhao turned his left hand over and saw obvious scratches on his fingers.
It must have been accidentally scratched while cleaning up the glass.
There's really nothing I can do about him; it's like my own body isn't made of flesh and blood.
Xu Zhaozhao pressed him down on the sofa, washed her hands, and then took out the first-aid kit.
I gently disinfected his wound with a cotton swab and then applied an OK bandage.
"How exactly did this injury happen?"
Xu Zhaozhao looked at the scratches on the back of his hand, rubbed the back of his hand, and frowned slightly.
"It seems like you got this wound after you came back from abroad, right?"
That shouldn't be the case. Why is the wound healing so slowly this time?
Xu Zhaozhao looked up at him, and he picked her up and sat her on his lap. "Maybe it's not the medicine your wife applied that's making it so hard to get better."
He rubbed his head against her neck, making her ticklish.
A puppy acting cute is either a ghost or a demon!
Xu Zhaozhao made an excuse to go to the bathroom to take a shower, and secretly hid in the bathroom to type on her phone.
I first called Brother Gou to ask where Gu Qingyan went and what he did on his last business trip abroad.
"Huh? I didn't go with the boss."
"It's just the plane ticket I booked, let me send it to you."
Xu Zhaozhao agreed.
Not long after hanging up the phone, I received a screenshot of the order from Brother Gou.
The foreign place names mentioned above were ones that Xu Zhaozhao had never heard of before.
Frowning, I opened the map app, entered the name of my destination, and zoomed in to take a look.
Sandwiched between two dividing lines, it looks like a border area.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't figure it out either, so she went straight to the most reliable person, Chi Liwen.
Shh: Did you know his hand is injured?
Xu Zhaozhao's message was sent out, and she received a reply almost instantly.
Eating Pear: Sister, sister! Grandma! Please let me go!
Eating Pear: Stop trying to trick me! I won't tell you anything!
Eating pears: [Sometimes even therapists feel helpless.jpg]
Xu Zhaozhao touched her nose, looking unusually guilty.
Shh: What can I possibly get out of you? I just don't know how to apply the medicine.
Eating Pear: ...Where is the injury?
Shh: ?
Shh: Don't be ridiculous. [Death smile]
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Chi Li, it seemed that this guy had indeed become much more cautious.
Xu Zhaozhao had no choice but to send it to him again.
Shh: The wound on the back of his hand.
Shh: Other wounds cost a different price. [Picking nose]
