Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 612 - 375: Ask Anyone

Ji Su didn’t even dare to ask anyone. Gu Qingchen was definitely not someone she could ask, Gu Yucheng was his brother, and she didn’t want to ask He Chenxiang. She didn’t want Chenxiang to worry about her, so she could only quietly look up information on the internet by herself.

Gu Yucheng’s lips slightly curved, raising an ironic smirk: "What? Are there private photos of you with another man inside a private kitchen?"

Ji Su almost choked in anger because of Gu Yucheng. She gathered her composure, realizing it was impossible to snatch her phone from his hands. She noticed that the screen of her phone in his hands had gone dark—it would require a password to unlock.

So, she said, "Then why don’t you unlock it and see if there are any private photos?"

Gu Yucheng stretched forth his finger, saw that her screen was password-protected, snorted disdainfully, and then returned the phone to her.

Ji Su took her phone back, hailed a taxi, and left immediately.

In the afternoon, Ji Su returned to the radio station, but saw her colleagues looking at an issue of Wealth Weekly featuring Gu Yucheng.

The sight of Gu Yucheng that afternoon had spoiled her mood; she had no heart to look at that, so she returned to her office to finish her work quickly. She wanted to go home early to cook soup for herself.

...

At the interview site of Wealth Weekly.

The host asked, "President Gu, under your leadership, the Gu Group has continued to grow steadily even when the global economy is struggling. Could you please share some motivational words with us?"

Gu Yucheng’s profile was almost at a perfect angle as he said, "I just want to say that success is achieved one step at a time. Whether it’s big tasks or small tasks, seizing opportunities is vision, but it’s staying grounded that lets you go further."

Host: "Currently, nearly two thousand stocks in the Shen-Hu stock market have hit the circuit breaker, which is quite a devastating occurrence in recent years. Do you think the stock market is still suitable for further investments? Will the government intervene to stabilize the market?"

"I’m just an industrial entrepreneur, not a stock guru!" Gu Yucheng said with a light smile, his voice already reflecting a state of seasoned ease.

Even though he knew the insider information, he would not reveal it in such a setting. Whether the government would stabilize the market and whether the stocks were still suitable to buy, he naturally didn’t need to perform such drama!

At this moment, a little girl came on stage to present flowers. Perhaps too nervous, she dropped the flowers before they reached his hands, creating an awkward atmosphere. The frightened little girl panicked.

But Gu Yucheng reached out his hand to pick up the bundle of flowers, his face blooming with a tender smile as he teasingly saved the situation, "This bouquet is too heavy! Thank you, little friend. Make sure to eat more and grow stronger!"

The host, who had been afraid that Gu Yucheng might lose his temper, didn’t expect him to soothe the little girl instead, "Quick, thank the uncle!"

"Thank you, uncle!" The little girl said and then ran away.

Gu Yucheng’s expression had been indifferent early on, but it brightened with a smile when the little girl appeared, leading the host to a bold assumption, "President Gu, do you like children?"

"Yes!" said Gu Yucheng, "My daughter is about her age!"

The host sighed in relief, started to chat about family matters, "Is it not lonely to have only a daughter? Have you considered having another child, maybe a son? There’s a saying in A City: one daughter and one son make a ’good’ pair, it’s doubly auspicious, symbolizing both fortune and a full moon!"

For a moment, Gu Yucheng was lost in thought. At the start of their relationship, he and Ji Su had planned together to have a daughter like her and a son like him.

But, as time passed and circumstances changed, his daughter was already six years old, while the whereabouts of his son remained unknown. Of course, he and Ji Su had also...

Although he had not enjoyed the love of a father from a young age, and his mother’s care was better than none.

He said he would definitely be a competent father. He would teach them to talk, to read and write personally. He would accompany them as they grew up. He would not only provide them with a superior environment but also a towering, majestic father’s love.

Breaking news: There has been a chain of traffic accidents in the North Ring direction, including a vehicle explosion, requesting assistance...

Lu Xiao was on her way home from work, quite close to the scene, so she immediately rushed over.

Running there, she already saw colleagues setting up blue and white police barricades; debris from the exploded car was scattered everywhere, and cars and pedestrians had blocked the entire road.

Lu Xiao walked over, smiled, and greeted Gu Yucheng whose car was stuck there.

Gu Yucheng got out of the car, "You got here so fast?"

"Big brother Gu, you should head to the front and take another mode of transportation! This road won’t be cleared for at least a couple of hours," Lu Xiao said, "I have to go and take care of this!"

"Be careful!" Gu Yucheng said.

Lu Xiao took out her work ID, hung it around her neck, and then walked towards the direction of the accident site.

"Lu Xiao..." Gu Yucheng called out to her, "Come back! There’s a bomb..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao’s face turned pale, and she only felt a wave of overwhelming force coming towards her. She wondered if she would be making a heroic sacrifice right then and there!

In that instant, she felt someone pulling her away, pulling her a bit farther from the bomb.

All she felt was a huge vibration, like the earth and mountains were shaking, and then she lay on the ground.

Next were the screams of the crowd, and the shouting of her colleagues...

After a brief dizziness, Lu Xiao realized she was awake, and someone was covering her; he had protected her in his arms.

"Brother Gu..." Lu Xiao called out. It was Gu Yucheng who had alerted her and pulled her away from the bomb area. She saw blood flowing from Gu Yucheng’s arm and anxiously cried out, "Brother Gu, how are you?"

"I’m okay..." Gu Yucheng, seeing her about to cry, took a deep breath and said, "Call the bomb disposal expert over, tell your colleagues to back off, evacuate the crowd and the vehicles..."

After all, Lu Xiao had just graduated from the police academy; what she learned from the books and the real emergencies that occurred in work and life naturally caught her off guard, especially when the injured person was Gu Yucheng, she felt even worse.

Listening to the injured Gu Yucheng calmly telling her what to do, after seeing his encouraging look, she immediately went to do it.

"What about your injury?" As soon as Lu Xiao instructed her colleagues, she expressed her concern, "Brother Gu... the ambulance will be here soon, you go and get checked first, I will come see you after I handle everything..."

Soon after, the hospital’s ambulance arrived, taking the injured to the hospital. The bomb disposal experts hurried over and checked the vehicles for bombs one by one before the police began dealing with the scene.

Before everything was processed, Lu Xiao went to the hospital.

Zhuo Yufeng, not seeing her figure in a blink of an eye, asked his subordinate: "Where’s Lu Xiao?"

"It seemed that she went to the hospital," one of the subordinates said.

Zhuo Yufeng anxiously asked: "Is she injured?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"She doesn’t seem to be. It looks like someone else was hurt." They had all arrived late, and those who were injured had already been sent to the hospital.

...

After finishing her shift at the radio station, Ji Su felt some discomfort in her abdomen.

Therefore, she wanted to visit a private clinic because though the expensive private hospitals would keep her secret, it could still somehow reach Gu Yucheng.

Just as she was navigating with a map to the nearest clinic, she arrived at the door of the clinic but was seized by a strong hand.

"Chenxiang..." Ji Su did not expect to come across He Chenxiang.

He Chenxiang looked at her, "Ji Su, I can help you!"

Ji Su looked at him in surprise, "Chenxiang..."

He Chenxiang then pulled her into the car and fastened her seatbelt, "Ji Su, if there’s something wrong with the child, you shouldn’t be in such a small clinic. I don’t even know if they have the medical facilities to treat you."

"You knew I was pregnant?" Ji Su hadn’t told anyone.

He Chenxiang nodded, "Do you remember the night you called me asking about the side effects of the medicine?"

"Of course, I remember," Ji Su said, "I was worried about the effect of the medicine on the child."

He Chenxiang looked at her, "If you wanted to know what medicine I gave you, you could have asked there and then. Why wait until now? I’m thinking that you’re probably worried about the medicine you took for a cold because of the child. The next day, I bought breakfast and waited for you at the radio station; you didn’t sleep well and looked a bit off, and at lunch, you ate a bit more than usual. I am a doctor; these most basic signs of pregnancy I spot right away. I know you didn’t want to tell me, and I haven’t asked. I respect all your decisions, but Ji Su, whatever your decision, you need to take care of your own health first."

Ji Su looked at him gratefully, realizing he knew everything all along, that he had been taking such good care of her, when she thought she had concealed it from everybody.

"Chenxiang..." Ji Su called his name, touched, "I don’t even know what to say, I had a severe hemorrhage when I gave birth to Wanwan, the doctor told me it would be tough to have another child, but now I have this child, like an angel sent to me. I really want to cherish this child, but I took cold medicine some days ago, I worry about the effects on the child, and also... I don’t want the child’s father to know..."

He Chenxiang stared at her: "Today in the hospital, when the nurses saw Gu Yucheng’s interview in ’Financial Weekly’, he mentioned he likes children, which made the nurses joke about wanting to bear his child. Seeing how he is with Wanwan, perhaps this is a new beginning for you and him, or maybe a breakthrough?"
