Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 22: It Turns Out to Be... A Divorce Agreement! _1
Having this thought, Gu Liancheng scrunched his brows once again.
Why, after four years of his care, was she still as skinny as ever?
He hadn’t noticed how lightweight she was until he held her now...
"What have you been eating, why do you weigh nothing at all?"
"I... didn’t eat..." His question was about all this time, but Eleven’s answer was about today, "I have a stomach ache..."
"Did you take medicine?"
"Yes, but it still hurts." Eleven looked at him with a steady gaze.
She was curling up in Gu Liancheng’s arms, feeling warm and secure.
The first second she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Liancheng and her mood eased. Are good-looking people inherently healing? Because visually, he was a treat and so her mood was lifted accordingly?
Gu Liancheng didn’t ask any more questions. He carried her upstairs, gently put her on the bed, and tucked her in.
His long, clean fingers stroked her cheek. His thumb rubbed gently near the corner of her eye, wiping off some moistness, asking, "Does it hurt that much?"
"Mm-hmm..." Eleven looked at him with her still tear-filled eyes and nodded pitifully
"Then sleep, you’ll be fine tomorrow."
Eleven nodded obediently and closed her eyes.
Gu Liancheng left and turned off the light, then went downstairs.
...
"Why didn’t you call a doctor if the madam has a stomach ache?"
On the study’s balcony, Gu Liancheng’s hands were in his pockets, his gaze aimlessly fell on the vast sea in front of him.
"Huh?" The maid sounded confused, "Did madam really have a stomach ache?"
"?"
"Madam said that you would be home tonight, she specially had me buy a lot of ingredients to cook for you. But you didn’t show up even after the food was prepared. I suggested that Madame call you but she said that you were busy with work and she didn’t want to disturb you. When I left at eight, she hadn’t eaten anything. I reminded her that her stomach wasn’t good and suggested she eat without waiting for you! I don’t know if she ate anything in the end."
Listening to this, Gu Liancheng furrowed his brows.
It seemed that she had had a few bites of the rice on the table, presumably she started having stomach pain while eating.
She was waiting for him to come home for dinner?
Gu Liancheng thought of the promise he made to her in the morning, feeling a bit disheartened.
He knew that if he didn’t fulfill a promise made to a child, the child would be very disappointed, and he always remembered he must never deceive a child.
Unexpectedly, Eleven, just like a child, remembered his words so firmly.
Were there traces of grievance in her tears? Had she swallowed it, unwilling to tell him?
"Come early tomorrow and make mutton porridge for the madam."
"Understood, sir."
After this call, Gu Liancheng dialed another number.
"Allen, hold off on the divorce."
"Eh? Mr. Gu, what did you say?"
"Delay. Focus on the Fánshèng case, I need a perfect solution."
"...Yes!"

Eleven was awakened by hunger.
When she woke up in the morning, her stomach didn’t hurt anymore, but she was hungry!
The bed was empty beside her, she had slept so deeply last night that she didn’t know when Gu Liancheng had come to bed.
As soon as Eleven sat up, she felt something burst inside her, suddenly experiencing a blackout.
Oh no...her period had started!
Eleven quickly got out of bed, opened the bedside table drawer, and took out a sanitary pad.
At that moment, her eyes fell on a file inside.
Why was there a document here? Did Gu Liancheng leave it?
Out of curiosity, Eleven picked it up and opened it to look, freezing in shock.
It was...a divorce agreement!
