Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 602 - 367: President Gu Asked Me to Come

Lu Fei arrived at the hospital very soon, bringing with him a bouquet of red roses and some fruit. When he got there, Lu Xiao had just woken up.

"Miss Lu..." Lu Fei approached, "Are you feeling better?"

Lu Xiao smiled: "Assistant Lu, what brings you here?"

"Mr. Gu asked me to come..." said Lu Fei.

Lu Xiao was startled, how did Gu Yucheng know about her situation? She had no clue.

Could it have been Ji Su who told him?

"Thank Gu Group’s boss, I’m fine now," Lu Xiao prepared to leave.

Lu Fei looked at her, "But your injuries haven’t healed yet..."

"It’s nothing serious." Lu Xiao felt she wasn’t that fragile.

At that moment, Ji Su came with breakfast, placing the porridge on the table, "Miss Lu, have something to eat, I made it early this morning."

"There’s really no need to go to all that trouble!" Lu Xiao looked at her, "Even if it wasn’t you who was being robbed last night, I would have stood up for justice and apprehended the robber no matter who it was."

Ji Su looked at her, moved. She saw a passionate young girl in Lu Xiao, youthful, sunny, warm, zealous, and with all kinds of wonderful qualities.

As Ji Su turned her head, she saw that bunch of bright red roses. The roses were very vibrant, like a young girl’s blooming youth. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Miss Ji..." Lu Fei glanced at her with a bit of embarrassment.

Ji Su nodded, although she hadn’t seen Gu Yucheng here, the bouquet must have been his idea, right?

"I need to go to work!" Ji Su said, "Assistant Lu, please take care of Miss Lu then."

In Ji Su’s opinion, Lu Fei’s appearance here must also be Gu Yucheng’s doing! After all, Lu Fei was Gu Yucheng’s assistant, and their relationship as superior and subordinate had been for many years.

Moreover, Lu Fei was the one handling many of Gu Yucheng’s private affairs.

When Ji Su left, Zhuo Yufeng, who had learned the news early on, hurried to the hospital. Upon seeing the roses in the room, he threw them straight into the trash can.

"Lu Xiao, you are a police officer, can’t you see through such impractical things?" Zhuo Yufeng lectured her sternly.

As a result, Lu Fei’s bouquet of roses caused countless misunderstandings.

The person involved, Lu Xiao, naturally thought it was Gu Yucheng’s intention!

Ji Su also thought the same when she saw the bouquet!

Zhuo Yufeng, hearing the news that Lu Xiao was injured and feverish in the hospital, came hastily and thought the same upon seeing the fiery red roses!

Meanwhile, Gu Yucheng himself was completely unaware of the incident.

Lu Fei couldn’t stand Zhuo Yufeng anymore: "Sir Zhuo, what did those flowers ever do to you?"

Zhuo Yufeng glared at him sharply: "Go back and tell him, being a married man, he should stop deceiving a young girl’s feelings. He’s a man of position, does he really want his despicable actions exposed?"

Lu Xiao got angry immediately: "Sir Zhuo, why do you speak like that? He has never deceived my feelings!"

"Then what are these flowers for?" Zhuo Yufeng kicked the trash can angrily, "Are you so easily fooled by flowers and chocolates, and sweet nothings?"

Lu Xiao looked at Zhuo Yufeng, then stormed out the door.

"Lu Xiao..." Zhuo Yufeng chased after her.

Lu Fei watched this unfold and also followed.

However, Lu Xiao quickly disappeared into the crowd.

...

Lu Fei returned to Gu Group with a feeling of dejection, and he went to the president’s office, "Boss Gu, Miss Lu has left!"

"Hmm..." Although Gu Yucheng hadn’t slept all night, he was still in good spirits. A cup of unfinished coffee sat on his desk, he didn’t look up, "Go do your work!"

"Boss Gu, I have something to say!" Lu Fei, as an outsider, could see clearly.

Gu Yucheng looked up, "Speak!"

Lu Fei had been with him for a long time, so he spoke truthfully: "This morning at the hospital I encountered Miss Ji..."

Gu Yucheng’s eyes sharpened, signaling him to continue.

"I learned upon inquiring, Miss Lu got injured while retrieving Miss Ji’s handbag from a robber, and it was Miss Ji who brought Miss Lu to the hospital," said Lu Fei, "I think, both Miss Ji and Miss Lu are in love with you, boss..."

Gu Yucheng, however, showed a rarely seen bitter smile: "Do you think Ji Su loves me?"

Lu Fei also had never heard Gu Yucheng talk about emotional matters. Occasionally, he heard that the issues between him and his wife were deeply entangled and it was unclear how they would end.

"Go get to work!" Gu Yucheng didn’t show any other emotions; he reined in the rare genuine feelings he had displayed earlier and continued to focus on his work.

Before leaving, Lu Fei asked, "What about Miss Lu..."

"Let her be!" Gu Yucheng did not look up.

After Lu Fei left, Gu Yucheng picked up his phone, looked up Ji Su’s number, and called her, only to be redirected to her voicemail box.

That evening, he went to the radio station to find Ji Su.

Ji Su had already recorded her program during the day and wasn’t at the station at night.

"Dear friends, good evening, this is Ji Su standing in for my good friend who’s pregnant to host the show. Today’s program is recorded, and I apologize for not being able to take your calls! Someone once asked a friend of mine, what do you seek in life? She said: ’In my youth, I chased after love, thinking that love was simply love – that my loving you and your loving me was enough. As time went by and our families intertwined, I realized love is not just about two people, but about two families. If either side handles it poorly, both will suffer. We grow and mature along the way, yet love is worn thin over the years. When new blood is once again infused into love, I think, I will wish you well...’"

Gu Yucheng stopped listening here as he lit a cigarette. Under the night sky, after he finished his cigarette, he looked up at the stars alone.

Once, they looked up at the starry sky together; when did it become just him wandering alone in the same place!

Is he tired? Annoyed? Weary? Or does he just want to break up?

"Long ago, I asked her a question, ’What is the one thing you can’t tolerate from the man you love most?’ She answered immediately, ’Emotional betrayal! I am a Cancer woman, and according to star signs, Cancers have a hard shell but a soft heart. She loves her family, willingly submits to her loved ones, but her emotions are unstable. She speaks the truth when she’s happy and the opposite when she’s not. Even lost in love, she’d rather be a slave to love. People of this sign, even if life is as dramatic as the theater, with constant breakups and reunions performing one absurd drama after another, she’d enjoy playing along. However, once his feelings truly betray her, she will leave him without hesitation...’"

Hearing this, Gu Yucheng, who didn’t understand astrology or tarot cards, took out his phone and checked that Cancer dates are from June 22nd to July 22nd. Which of Ji Su’s good friends could it be?

He thought: The person born on this date, that’s her, isn’t it?

Of course, Ji Su was not going to tell all her listeners that the person she was talking about was herself when hosting this show.

On one side is the endlessly entangled old flame, and on the other is the bright and comforting warmth of new love.

Gu Yucheng, do you love Lu Xiao?

Gu Yucheng, can you let go of Ji Su?

Hospital.

Bei Ran was having her six-month prenatal check-up and happened to meet Zheng Tong, who was there for a check-up as well.

"Tong sister..." Bei Ran looked at her, and the two pregnant women, with big bellies, smiled at each other as they sat hand in hand in the corridor.

"How have you been?" Zheng Tong was quite swollen; she was already an older pregnant woman.

Bei Ran said, "I’m fine, how about you?"

"I’m older now, my feet and lower legs are swollen; I have to wear shoes one size larger," Zheng Tong said somewhat sorrowfully, "Ah, to be young and have children, you recover quickly and it’s not so tiring!"

Bei Ran comforted her, "With advanced medical techniques nowadays, it’s okay to be a bit older. Don’t worry about it!"

Just then, Gu Qingchen came over, "Ranran, it’s your turn for the four-dimensional ultrasound..."

He also saw Zheng Tong and greeted his old classmate, "Zheng Tong..."

Zheng Tong nodded, "You go ahead, I’ll go in a bit."

"Didn’t Duan Feixun accompany you?" Gu Qingchen glanced around, noticing she was alone.

Zheng Tong merely said, "He’s busy."

Bei Ran’s heart sank. Knowing Duan Feixun, she knew he loved children and would not miss accompanying Zheng Tong to a prenatal check-up, unless they had argued!

"Tong sister, how about I give you my spot?" Bei Ran offered, fully sympathizing with the hardship of a pregnant woman going to a prenatal check-up alone.

"Really, there’s no need!" Zheng Tong insisted, "Ranran, you should go ahead!"

Bei Ran nodded and then moved towards the ultrasound room.

Gu Qingchen supported her, wishing he could carry her in, his affectionate care for his wife eliciting gentle laughter from the nurses nearby.

Bei Ran knew he loved her, he resented her suffering, and so, this time, he wished he could suffer in her stead.

"Wife, take it slow..." Gu Qingchen held her as they entered the specially-equipped ultrasound room and slowly helped her lie down.

As Bei Ran lay down, she looked up at him, "Husband..."

"Don’t worry! After we’re done here, I’ll go and teach Duan Feixun a lesson, give him a good thrashing for not knowing how to cherish his wife," Gu Qingchen knew what she wanted to say.

Bei Ran smiled, "Just don’t go too hard on him!"

The six-month ultrasound took a bit longer; the baby was mostly developed, and its condition could now be clearly seen through the four-dimensional ultrasound.

"Doctor Gu, the baby is currently asleep and won’t move. We can’t see the other side; either have Mrs. Gu walk around a bit or come back in the afternoon," the ultrasound doctor suggested.

Gu Qingchen looked at Bei Ran’s protruding belly, "This little guy is so lazy, his mom and dad are busy for him, yet he has a good sleep!"
