The elevator door slowly opened and a pair of bright leather shoes came into view. Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and walked in. She reached out to press the button, only to find that the number had been chosen. It turned out that the man behind her was going to the same floor as her. She wondered which colleague the man was.
So she raised her head and took a look, but she immediately froze. It was Gu Nianbin. She looked at him in a daze. He also looked at her, but his gaze was cold. He was looking at her so straight. It wouldn't make sense if he said he didn't know her. However, as he remained silent, she didn't dare to speak.
In fact, she was unwilling to look away, but his gaze was so aggressive that she finally lowered her head.
She wanted to stay away from him, but she did not have the strength to move. The air in the elevator gradually became sticky, as if it were mixed with glue. Even breathing became difficult. In the quiet and nar
Du Xiaoxian had been lying on the ground, and the colleagues carried her onto the sofa. Her face was pale and her eyebrows were slightly twisted. Her hands and feet were cold. Only a warm breath could be detected beneath her nose.Lu Haochen touched her forehead. It was not hot. He asked in a deep voice, "Have you called Doctor Li over?"Someone answered from the side, "Yes, Doctor Li will be here soon."Lu Haochen squatted down, held Du Xiaoxian's cold little hand in his palm, and looked at her anxiously.Doctor Li hurriedly came in with a first-aid kit on his back. He was the doctor in the company's health room. The staff liked to consult him and get medicine when they got headaches and small injuries.Doctor Li said, "Everyone, get out of the way. Don't be so crowded."The employees dispersed in a flurry. Doctor Li rolled up Du Xiaoxian's eyelids, listened to her heartbeat, felt her pulse, and pu
After returning home, Du Huayue asked Du Xiaoxian, "Why didn't you tell me that you met Gu Nianbin?""I was afraid that you would be worried. Besides, he didn't do anything to me." Du Xiaoxian sat on the sofa and frowned slightly. "I'm just worried about what we should do when he sees Niannian. Will he take the child away?""On what grounds?" Du Huayue raised his voice. "You suffered a lot in giving birth to Niannian. On what grounds can he take her away?"Du Xiaoxian sighed, "I gave birth to her secretly. If he knew about this, he would definitely be angry. You don't know, he looked very scary when he was angry. I'm really afraid..."Du Huayue poured her a glass of water. "Niannian's surname is Du, not Gu. She is your child. Anyway, she doesn't look like him. You just keep insisting that she is not his child. I don't think Gu Nianbin can do anything about it.""That's the only way," Du Xiaoxian held the cup and
Du Xiaoxian looked at the cup in front of her and said awkwardly, "I can't drink."Lan Guo smiled and raised her slender white hand. "Since you're happy today, drink it!"Lu Haochen reached out, trying to take the cup. "She really can't drink. Let me drink for her.""No," Lan Guo raised the corner of her eyes and smiled charmingly. "I hear that people who come from Daliang Mountain are good at drinking."She was right. Men and women in Daliang Mountain could drink. Every time a harvest, a sacrifice-offering, or a festival came, everyone, regardless of men and women, old or young, would gather together, singing, dancing, and feasting on dishes and wine. However, she had never been qualified to participate in those activities.After hesitating for a moment, she still took the cup and poured the liquor into her mouth. The pungent taste made her cough violently. It felt like her throat was on fire and she felt very
Although Gu Nianbin had gone back, Du Xiaoxian still felt uneasy. She discussed with Du Huayue for a long time and decided to send Du Niannian back to her hometown just in case.Seeing that Du Xiaoxian was still frowning, Du Huayue comforted her and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."Du Xiaoxian asked, "Brother Ah Yue, how about we run again?"Du Huayue asked with wide eyes, "Are you alright, Xiaoxian? Why are you so afraid of him?"Du Xiaoxian said worriedly, "Brother Ah Yue, rich people like them are all very resourceful. I'm just afraid..."Du Huayue said disapprovingly, "He is resourceful, but that is in G City. What is he in Yawan? Besides, there is also President Lu. Let me tell you. President Lu is not an ordinary person. He is much more powerful than Gu Nianbin. Moreover, it was not easy for me to get this position as a leader. And Cuicui, what about Cuicui?"Du Xiaoxian thought his w
Ma Cuicui widened her eyes and looked at Du Huayue in disbelief. "Is what you said true?""Believe it or not," Du Huayue gave her a sidelong glance. "I shouldn't have told you."He chased after Ma Cuicui but she refused to listen to him no matter how he tried to coax her. In a moment of desperation, he had to tell her the truth, but after he finished, he regretted it.Ma Cuicui pouted. "Why are you unwilling to tell me?"Du Huayue said, "You women can't keep a secret. I'm afraid you'll leak it out.""Don't worry. I won't tell anyone else." Ma Cuicui seemed to have come to a sudden realization. "No wonder that Gu guy stared at Xiaoxian the moment he came in. So that's what happened!""Remember to keep it a secret. You can't tell anyone else." Du Huayue reminded her again."I know, I know. Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone." Ma Cuicui repeatedly replied, "But," She stared suspici
"Welcome!" Hearing the door open, Ma Cuicui, who was tidying up her clothes, turned around and was stunned. The person who entered was a tall man with a cold face, deep eyes, and an imposing appearance!Ma Cuicui looked at him as if she was facing a great enemy. She clearly knew that he had come with ill intentions, but as a commoner, she had always been in awe of the powerful. She did not dare to make a sound and only stared at him with a vigilant expression."Hello, Miss Ma." The man greeted her with a smile."Mr. Gu," Ma Cuicui calmed down a little. "Why are you here?""I want to talk to you." Gu Nianbin got straight to the point."I don't seem to have anything to talk about with you."Gu Nianbin chuckled and sat down. "I really admire your generosity. You clearly know that your boyfriend had a child with another woman, and now he is living with that woman. But you act as if nothing is wrong. I w
Having searched the entire bookcase, Gu Nianbin didn't find what he wanted. He sat down in dismay and lit a cigarette. Nearly everything related to Du Xiaoxian was destroyed by him. However, a few of them were kept. For example, the thing he was looking for now was also thrown away at the beginning. Later, for some reason, he took it back and casually put it in a book. But he couldn't find it now.He sat quietly and finished smoking his cigarette. Then he got up and went to Gu Shanshan's room. A few books piled up on her dressing table. They were all taken from him. He shook every book. But nothing fell out of them. Gu Nianbin was a little disappointed. He frowned and thought for a while. Then he carefully turned the pages of the books one by one. When light blue words flashed by, his heart moved. He turned to that page again. Sure enough, it was what he wanted.It was Du Xiaoxian's pregnancy report. This was the last thing she left him before they b
Du Xiaoxian pulled Du Niannian and ran away.After all, Du Niannian was still a child. After running for a while, she could not run anymore. Du Xiaoxian had no choice but to carry Du Niannian and run. Du Xiaoxian had been good at running since she was a child. But now, she had a school bag on her back and was carrying a child. She could not bear the burden and was panting.Du Niannian wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and looked back. Gu Nianbin stood there motionless. As the distance between them increased, he gradually turned into a blurred shadow. Then Du Niannian shouted, "Mom, mom, don't run. The bad guy didn't follow us."Du Xiaoxian turned around to take a look. Sure enough, Gu Nianbin was nowhere to be seen. Only then did she put Du Niannian down. With her hands on her waist, she panted heavily.Du Niannian asked as she stood on tiptoe to pat her mother on the back, "Mom, who is that uncle? Is he a bad person
