Chapter 195 -195: Let Her Take the Child
Gu Cheng returned home and saw Fatty Aunt downstairs, so he asked, “Is Yuanyuan asleep?”
“I’m not sure, sir, she just got back home.”
“She just went out?”
“Yes, and it looked like she wasn’t in a great mood when she came back,” expressed Fatty Aunt with concern.
Gu Cheng hurried upstairs.
He saw that the light was still on in her room as he walked down the corridor, but as he approached, the light went out.
He gently pushed the door open and stepped inside. Since there was a motion sensor light at the doorway, a soft light illuminated the room as he entered.
He could vaguely see Zhou Yuan lying on the bed, her back towards him.
He knew she couldn’t have fallen asleep yet.
So he gently walked over and sat down beside her bed, “Little Yuanyuan, you’re not asleep yet, are you?”
But Zhou Yuan completely ignored him, not moving an inch. That wasn’t like her at all; usually, a little bit of attention from Gu Cheng would keep her happy for days.
“What’s the matter? Are you feeling alright?” Gu Cheng coaxed her as if speaking to a young girl.
Zhou Yuan continued to ignore him.
In the darkness, she could smell the scent of barbecue on him.
Gu Cheng then said, “I’ll go take a shower first, and then I’ll come back and keep you company.”
Gu Cheng prepared to take a shower but something didn’t feel right to him.
He saw the clothes Zhou Yuan had taken off, thrown in the laundry basket. On a whim, he picked them up and smelled them.
They had a barbecue scent too!
Had she gone out for barbecue as well? Could it be…
After hastily showering, Gu Cheng phoned the driver, Xiao Ding, “Where did Yuanyuan go tonight?”
Xiao Ding told the truth, that they went to several places, and in the end, they had barbecue, but she hardly ate two skewers and had the rest packed to take away; it took him a while to finish it all.
Gu Cheng then understood why Zhou Yuan was ignoring him.
He went back to her side to find her already asleep.
She always slept soundly, never waking up, whether there was a typhoon outside or lightning.
Now, she was hugging a big white plush toy, one leg draped over it, sleeping deeply, breathing evenly, long eyelashes resting on her eyelids, just like a round porcelain doll.
A twinge of guilt flickered through Gu Cheng’s heart.
Ever since they married, she had been staying at home with him, waiting each night for him to return, yet he went to see his first love. Anyone would feel upset in her shoes, wouldn’t they?
Gu Cheng lay down beside her and kissed her forehead.
She seemed to be unaware, continuing to sleep peacefully.
…
The next day, Zhou Yuan woke up, surprised to find that Gu Cheng hadn’t gone to work yet.
He was already awake, propped up in bed looking at his phone, either dealing with matters in the group chat or talking to someone.
Seeing that she was awake, he tenderly asked her, “Awake?”

Thinking of last night’s events, Zhou Yuan turned over and ignored him.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Cheng knew she must still be angry and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Still refusing to talk to me?”
Zhou Yuan said indignantly, “I was left alone at home while you were out meeting your ex-girlfriend!”
It was good that she was expressing her unhappiness; it would be worrisome if she kept all her displeasures bottled up inside.
Gu Cheng moved to put an arm around her shoulder, “I was wrong. She came to my company last night to thank me for helping her find a house, so she treated me to a barbecue.”
“And why didn’t you take me out for barbecue?”
Gu Cheng smiled, “Then which barbecue do you want to eat? I’ll treat you tonight, how about that?”
Zhou Yuan no longer craved barbecue; suddenly she fancied duck blood and vermicelli soup and asked Gu Cheng, “Then will you accompany me to have duck blood and vermicelli soup? I want to go to the one in Tian You Mall.”
“Alright, then get up and change; we can go now.”
…
30 minutes later, they arrived at the shopping mall, and Zhou Yuan ordered a large bowl of duck blood and vermicelli soup.
Gu Cheng, of course, ate the same, although he rarely came out for such snacks and looked somewhat uncomfortable. He was dressed in a suit, now drenched in sweat from the steaming hot vermicelli.
Seeing him clearly uncomfortable yet still accompanying her, Zhou Yuan gave him a smile.
Gu Cheng asked Zhou Yuan, “Are you still mad at me?”
Zhou Yuan paused, asking, “Then… can you not meet her again in the future?”
Gu Cheng went silent for a moment, not answering.
Zhou Yuan forced an embarrassed smile, “I was just saying… It’s up to you whether you want to see her or not.”
She continued to eat her vermicelli, not speaking to him anymore.
…
Yun City.
Su Meixi didn’t rush to find a job.
Once you start relaxing, you just want to keep doing so, especially for someone like her who had no financial burdens.
So she continued binge-watching TV series and reading novels.
She told herself to relax for one more month, and after that month, she would definitely start working!
That day, someone knocked on her door.
Thinking it was Gu Wei, she opened it to find Bao Min and behind her was Sister Hong.
“You… are you here for something?”
Sister Hong spoke first, “Little Bao asked me to come with her; it’s mainly to discuss something about Fang Xia and Fang Shuai.”
“Fang Xia and Fang Shuai?” Su Meixi was confused.
Bao Min explained, “Our Military District has two children of martyrs, with both parents gone. Their comrades couldn’t bear to send them to an orphanage, so it was suggested to let them eat with the families in the district. If there’s a family member at home, they take turns caring for the children, each family for a month. Originally, it was Sister Qing’s turn next month, but she had to go back to her hometown, so we wanted to ask if it’s convenient for you?”
“This is it?” Su Meixi hesitated, “How old are the children?”
“One is 10, the other 9.”
Su Meixi said, “But I’ve never cared for children before, I don’t know how to interact with them.”
Bao Min immediately showed disdain, “For kids that age, they don’t need much from you, just cook for them; they go to school from Monday to Friday, no need for you to accompany them.”
Sister Hong interjected to Bao Min, “Just forget it, Xiao Xi indeed has no experience. Let’s go to my place instead.”
Su Meixi was about to agree when Bao Min disagreed.
“That won’t do, they were at your place the month before last; how can we trouble you again? Xiao Su isn’t working; why can’t she help take care of the children for a month?”
Su Meixi saw through Bao Min’s intention.
If she refused, word of her bad reputation would spread within half a day, and it would affect Gu Wei as well.
She couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s just taking care of two kids, what’s the big deal? Tell me what I need to do.”
