Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 717 - 714: Two Awkward Kids

Gu Chen: "..."

Xiao Qing: "..." Which eye of yours saw that they didn’t want to live?

Li Yan rubbed his temple with a headache but clearly understood in his heart that it must have been Gu Chen’s actions just now that had worried Lu Jinyang. This man, always treating his brother with extreme care yet showing boundless tolerance for his woman, really is...

"Director Gu, don’t get agitated, or your wound might reopen and we’ll have to cut open your abdomen and sew it up again. Even if you don’t mind the ordeal, I certainly don’t want to sew it again."

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Gu Chen’s mouth, but he dared not make any further movements.

After hearing Li Yan’s words, Xiao Qing couldn’t help but shudder, thinking, "Emma, that’s terrifying." It reminded her of the unbearable pain after her cesarean section when she gave birth to her eldest and younger treasures, a pain that made her wish for death.

It was all because of that bear child, the eldest treasure, who had to occupy the cervix, and arrogantly kept his little butt in place, forcing her to undergo a cesarean.

Thinking of that time, Xiao Qing quietly wiped away bitter tears.

"How about this, madam, you make a phone call and find a caregiver for Director Gu."

"...Okay."

Xiao Qing sneaked a glance at Gu Chen and, seeing no change in his expression, left the ward.

In order not to let the others in the ward hear her phone call, she walked towards the end of the corridor. From a distance, she saw someone standing there, and the figure looked a lot like Gu Li.

Xiao Qing quickened her pace, and as she approached, she realized that it indeed was Gu Li.

"Gu Li! So you’ve been here~"

Gu Li turned around slowly, a hint of surprise flashing through his clear eyes, "Sister Qing?"

"Yes. Why are you here alone? By the way, Gu Chen has woken up, aren’t you going to see him?"

"I..." Gu Li hesitated, looking down at his clasped hands.

Only then did Xiao Qing notice that he was holding something in his palm; she could only see the chain that was exposed, while the pendant was concealed by his hands.

"It’s okay, you can go to him later. By the way, Dean Li mentioned that Gu Chen needs a caregiver, so I wanted to ask if we should help you find one, or would you prefer to choose one for him?"

Gu Li looked at her in astonishment, "He’s getting a caregiver?" After the surprise, his clear eyes filled with a sense of loss.

So he would rather hire a caregiver than let her take care of him.

Realizing this, Gu Li felt very disheartened.

Xiao Qing saw her expression and pretended to be oblivious, patting her shoulder and saying: "If you don’t want to, I’ll go talk to them~"

After speaking, she turned and walked away.

"Sister Qing~"

Xiao Qing stopped in her tracks and turned around, "Is there anything else?"

"That... never mind, it’s nothing, you go ahead."

Seeing her looking so self-deprecating, Xiao Qing finally sighed, walked back to her side, and without another word, pulled her along with her.

"Hey, Sister Qing, where are you taking me?"

Xiao Qing did not answer her, instead, she pulled her into the elevator, descended to the first floor, and then dragged her to the hospital’s small garden.

After seating Gu Li on a stone bench, Xiao Qing sat down beside her and straight to the point, with heartfelt words, she said: "Li, I don’t know what has happened between you and Gu Chen, but I do know that he’s in your heart, and you’re in his. The way the two of you are interacting is just like two stubborn kids!"

Gu Li was extremely shocked; she had never talked to Xiao Qing about these things before, so how could she have found out?
