"How could that be?" Gu Ruoyan replied quickly, glancing over without even turning around, "I was worried about the baby, so my attitude was not good enough. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."
Li Shaojue chuckled and raised his hand. His slender fingers pressed the button for the elevator to close.
"Phew -" Hearing the elevator door close completely, Gu Ruoyan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
She did not want to provoke Li Shaojue. That man had too much power and too high a status. The people around him were not someone she could afford to provoke. If she rashly approached him, if she was treated as someone with ulterior motives, she would only be cannon fodder.
What's more, if he found out that the two children were his flesh and blood... it was very likely that he would fight for custody with her.
As for the revenge of killing her mother, she would definitely bring her fair back, but this couldn't be achieved from getting close to Li Shaojue.
She didn't want much. All she wanted was that the two children were by her side.
Not entering the office, Gu Ruoyan heard a childish voice teaching the other one a lesson seriously. "Gu Jingmeng, if you don't listen to me and run around, I won't have a sister like you!"
"I'm already in so much pain, yet you still want to teach me a lesson!" Gu Jingmeng did not show any weakness. She waved her small arms to fight with Gu Jingxi, but because she moved too much, her wound was affected, and her eyes and nose were wrinkled into a ball. "Ouch -"
"Don't move!" Gu Jingxi quickly grabbed his little sister's restless hands and carefully examined the wound. He pouted and exhaled, "It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt."
Gu Ruoyan, who just entered the door, saw this lovely and warm scene.
These two little kids were really very likable.
"Jingmeng, if you have anything to do in the future, you have to listen to brother. If it were for you who hurt uncle just now, Mommy and you will be scolded." Gu Ruoyan nodded at Gu Jingmeng who was holding up her nose.
"Mommy, if someone dares to scold you, Uncle Jingyou and I will protect you and beat the bad guy away." Gu Jingxi raised his little head to meet Gu Ruoyan's eyes and added, "Also, we will protect that little devil who only knows how to cry."
"You are the one who only knows how to cry... Uncle Jingyou!" Just as Gu Jingmeng finished shouting back at her brother, she suddenly saw He Jingyou who appeared at the door. She jumped down from her seat and threw herself into the man's arms.
He Jingyou opened his arms and caught this sticky little milk ball. He picked her up from the ground and spun her in a circle. He lowered his head and blinked at Gu Jingxi as if they had formed a mysterious alliance. "Thank you, little Jingxi. You were still thinking about me when you were fighting."
"Hello, Uncle Jingyou." Gu Jingxi also took a few steps forward. Even someone as calm as him couldn't hide his closeness when he saw He Jingyou.
"I brought you gifts." He Jingyou took two bags from behind him as if he was performing a magic trick. Gu Jingxi's eyes lit up as he looked at the colorful things that were about to spill out. He could not wait to break free from the man's arms. He reached into the bags and flipped through them.
He Jingyou was quite familiar with the preferences of the two little kids. The things they bought were all in their favor. The two little ones squatted excitedly beside the bags and divided the gifts, which made Gu Ruoyan feel warm in her heart.
"I still have a client to see over there. Jingyou, accompany the two of them." Gu Ruoyan casually picked up her mobile phone and instructed He Jingyou in a relaxed and casual tone.
"Alright." He Jingyou nodded and smiled as he watched Gu Ruoyan, who was dressed in white, walk out.
The two of them were already used to each other's trust. This kind of life was calm and soothing, making one's body and mind relax. As for further plan... He Jingyou was not in a hurry, because so far, apart from him, Gu Ruoyan had not shown such a reassuring trust to any other man.
He played with the two children for a while and received an appointment call. He told Jingxi to take care of his sister and left the office.
"Don't run around this time." Gu Jingxi put his hands on his waist and blocked the door.
"Aiya, Xi Xiaoxi, come over here. I have something important to discuss with you." Gu Jingmeng had a mysterious look on her face as she sat on the carpet and winked at Gu Jingxi.
"What are you doing?" Gu Jingxi loosened his small fists and looked at the door. He continued to warn his sister not to run out when he was unprepared. He walked over and sat beside Gu Jingmeng.
"Say," Gu Jingmeng covered her mouth with her milky-white hands and leaned close to Gu Jingxi's ear, "Uncle He Jingyou is so good to us. Could he be our biological father?" She asked in a small voice.
"Pfft." Gu Jingxi laughed as if he was watching an idiot, "How is that possible, fool? Uncle He Jingyou doesn't look like us at all. The children and parents look very similar, just like you and mother do."
"Look very similar..." Gu Jingmeng patted her little head and suddenly stood up. She looked down at Gu Jingxi with her hands on her hips, "Xi Xiaoxi, I know where our father is! If you beg me, I'll tell you."
Gu Jingxi did not believe Gu Jingmeng's silly words, but he just looked at her proud little appearance and wanted to tease her. He grabbed Gu Jingmeng's little foot and reached out to scratch her itch. "Are you going to say it or not?"
"Ah, hahaha, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Gu Jingmeng laughed as she rolled around on the carpet. After a while, she finally managed to catch her breath. She then put on a serious expression and said, "I just saw an uncle who looked exactly like you!"
"Really?" At that time, Gu Jingxi's heart trembled. He wondered in his mind, "Exactly the same? If the appearances are similar, there is indeed a possibility that we are blood-related. But..."
When these words came out of the mouth of his little clown sister, the credibility of the words greatly decreased.
Gu Jingmeng was still not aware of her brother's doubts about her, and she continued to add highly colorful details with her hands dancing and feet tripping, "I won't lie to you. After seeing that uncle, I can probably imagine what you will look like when you grow up!"
"Then do you know how to contact that uncle?" Gu Jingxi asked.
"I have uncle's business card! In fact, I kept it and asked for compensation from him, but it is still acceptable for me to lend it to you because you are my brother!" Gu Jingmeng said proudly as she touched her pocket, "There's still some gilding on that business card. It's really top grade!"
"Really?" Gu Jingxi asked casually. He did not believe that this little fool could hold a piece of paper in her hands and not lose it within ten minutes.
As expected.
"Oh, where is my business card?"
Gu Jingmeng looked around anxiously, "It was in my hands just now. How did it disappear?"
Gu Jingxi was too lazy to watch her play the real version of a confused king here. He found a brand-new sudoku board among the gifts brought by Uncle He Jingyou and quickly devoted himself to his mathematics career.
"With sudoku, Xi Xiaoxi will ignore me." Gu Jingmeng, who was busy looking up, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do. Where did her uncle's business card go?
At night, Li Shaojue refused Gu Moyan's invitation to enjoy the nightlife. He lay on Simmons Mattress and silently thought about all the things that had happened that day.
The laughter of the mother and daughter continued to occupy his mind and did not disperse for a long time. Although the scene was noisy, it made him unusually relaxed and even let him enjoy a rarely peaceful state of mind.
Why?
The early morning sun shone into the simple and elegant bedroom. The man frowned, opened his sleepy eyes, and realized that he actually... had a night of good sleep.It had been a long time since he had been able to sleep so soundly that he actually only woke up when the sky was already bright.Li Shaojue rubbed his temples. The dream from last night also flooded in. Without a doubt, he dreamed of that night five years ago. However, the one under him... Why did it turn out to be Gu Ruoyan who was wearing a medical uniform?The indescribable pictures did not stop as he was shocked, clamoring at his senses.The most terrible thing was... As his memories advanced, his private place actually quietly stood upright.Li Shaojue's pair of eagle-like eyes stared wide open. He was stunned for ten seconds in disbelief. He lifted the quilt and did not even have time to put on his slippers. He rushed straight into the bathroom and
"For no reason?" Li Shaojue raised his eyebrows, looking a little threatening.Ji Chucheng was a little tipsy and said in a voice filled with drunkenness, despite that his words might provoke Li Shaojue, "Old Li, I'm not talking nonsense. You're so sensitive to children. If not for the problem of your relationship with Yanyan, then you would be the one with a problem.""What did you say?" Li Shaojue's face turned as black as charcoal."Isn't it?" Ji Chucheng shouted, "Ordinary people – like me, when we heard others say that there are children who look like me, at most, we are curious to see the children, but who else will be like you? You even made me think about how to coax you while I am busy."Li Shaojue wondered in his mind, "Is that so?"In fact, which part of Ji Chucheng's words was wrong? He really did not want to touch Gu Moyan. Although he frowned on Ji Chucheng and explained that he just didn't want Yanyan to
"What are you trying to do!" Gu Moyan was angry and scared. Her lips trembled, and her voice was almost unclear. "I can... sue you.""Sue me?" Scarface said with a sinister smile and licked the corners of his mouth, carrying a blood-thirsty aura, "Of course you can, as long as you don't care about Gu Group's and Li Group's reputation."This person was definitely not a simple cowboy. Generally, the people at the bottom of the hierarchy would not dare to threaten her, the Miss of the Gu Family. If he had the support of his family behind his back... Not to mention that she did not dare to go to court, even if she did, she might not necessarily win.Gu Moyan closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down."What do you want?" She calmed down a lot and tried to negotiate with the other party."What do I want?" Scarface stood up and approached her step by step, "I've heard this many times, but it now comes from a woman." He
Li Shaojue was really depressed. How could he meet this Gu Ruoyan when he came out to relax?Last night, to have a good night's sleep, he drank a few more bottles of wine with his friends, but he still had a sleepless night. He closed his eyes, and the lingering dream seized the chance and drilled into his mind.Today, his brain was still in a mess, and he stopped working and had no efficiency to speak of. He had no choice but to come to the seaside to relax.Then he saw that Gu Ruoyan had finally turned from the illusion in his mind into a real person who was sitting with another man.Just how many men did this Gu Ruoyan need to have?The soft and cuddly Gu Jingmeng was still excitedly shaking Li Shaojue's big hand, not noticing the man's depressed mood at all. "Uncle, Xi Xiaoxi also laughed at me for saying that I lost your business card and would never see you again. You see, we are really fated! Why don't we sit do
"How could that be?" Gu Moyan laughed dryly, "You've had such a big accident, and you'll definitely have a good future. I still want to benefit from you." Gu Ruoyan thought to herself, "Accident? What an accident! Could it be that I fainted and rolled into the sea?""If possible, I also hope that everything is just an accident," Gu Ruoyan sneered.When the elevator reached the 16th floor, Gu Ruoyan took out her key to open the door and let Gu Moyan in."Gu Moyan, you do have a lot of spies." Gu Ruoyan sat down on the sofa and gestured for Gu Moyan to sit across from her. "You can find out where I live in a short period.""On this point, we are just the same." Gu Moyan sat down and crossed her legs. "Sister, guess what I found?"Gu Ruoyan sneered, thinking to herself, "Judging from her tone, she still wants to threaten me?""That's right. As you can see, I am purchasing Gu Group's share
"Your confidentiality is really too good. How can such a big company in the United States not have any news in the country?" He Jingyou couldn't help but sigh, "If I hadn't been with you day and night, I would have wondered if you joined some mysterious organization." "After all, there is a sea between us. If I deliberately hide it, it will be difficult to find it." Gu Ruoyan tightened her grip, thinking that it was fortunate that He Jingyou could not see her current expression. Otherwise, based on how familiar he was with her, he would definitely have noticed something. "Well, you and the two children should rest early. The work of Simon's Psychological Clinic will start tomorrow."The other side answered and hung up.The next day, just as Gu Ruoyan sat down in her therapy office, she heard a knock on the door.Then, an old woman with white hair walked in with a trembling voice. She looked like an old woman in her fifties.
"Business banquet?" Gu Ruoyan's first reaction was that Li Shaojue did not tell the truth."There is no need for him to even tell you the reason for postponing the consultation. I think it might be a cover." "Haha... Ruoyan, you are too sensitive." He Jingyou laughed out loud, thinking that this little woman was very cunning. "It was when he called me that his assistant reminded him of his schedule.""Ah... I see." Gu Ruoyan tilted her head in embarrassment. She was a little embarrassed and said with a little rebuke, "Maybe his assistant said that on purpose. Go and check it out for me. Is there really a business banquet?""How can I find out about this..." He Jingyou was helpless, but he still obediently typed words in the search box. The next second he saw the content, his eyes widened in shock. "Ruoyan, it's true, and you should be interested as well. I'll send you the link.""What?" Gu Ruoyan asked. Then he
Gu Ruoyan didn't go back to buy that blue dress. She didn't try it on. She bought it hastily because she was annoyed with Yang Ru. She went around the store and continued to choose in the mall. Finally, she chose a light purple dress.There was not much time left. She had already gotten her hands on the electronic invitation letter. When Gu Ruoyan returned home and finished dressing up, she changed into the new clothes she had bought. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten to buy a mask.It would definitely be too late to go back and buy it now... Gu Ruoyan's gaze swept across the dressing table and stopped on a scarf in the corner.It was a dark blue scarf with three petals embroidered on it.The three-petaled flower was the pattern that her mother embroidered the most often. She learned from her mother and also embroidered it decently.Later, when her mother was gone, she studied abroad alone. She missed
