The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 281 - 2: Love Me, Love My Dog—A Sting to His Heart
"No need, no need at all. As a newcomer, how much money could you have? If you really had money, you wouldn’t talk to me like this." Sheng Yi was good at judging people. Usually, those rich kids act all arrogant. This person clearly had nothing to his name."
Luckily, he had a face that wasn’t bad-looking.
Zhou Huai thanked her again. He had heard of that brand, and he couldn’t afford to pay for it now.
However, he would definitely compensate her.
Sheng Yi lowered the purse she was carrying, and walked inside with confident strides.
Zhou Huai turned around and watched Sheng Yi’s back until she disappeared from sight.
He thought, he actually met her again.
...
Chi Yu came alone to Yingcan Century today.
He went to Xiangxilu last night. She wasn’t there, and he couldn’t meet her.
Since he couldn’t go to her home, he decided to go to her company.
He had to see her.
As he wished, he saw Gu Yuan.
But from a long distance, as Gu Yuan hurriedly got into a car as she exited the office building, he couldn’t see her clearly before the car drove away.
Seeing her again stirred strong emotions in Chi Yu.
Longing had been a beast locked in a cage, sleeping and turning into endless silence.
When the light shone again, the beast revived, its roar pierced the sky and the earth shook, and the silent blood flowed again.
Ten years...
He had waited for ten years.
Countless days and nights.
Kneeling and prostrating countless times in hope.
An endless and lengthy wait.
Waiting for someone without a return date.
He knew she would never return, yet he continued to wait.
Eventually, unable to bear the ten years without her, he ended his life at home.
Seeing her again now, Chi Yu thought he could remain calm, but in fact, his heart was in turmoil.
"Yuanyuan, after ten years, I finally see you again."
He drove to follow Gu Yuan’s car, curious to know where she was heading in such a hurry.
Upon arriving outside the hospital, Gu Yuan got out of her car and waited for a while.
Lu Tinglou arrived soon, holding a little girl in his arms. The girl wore a hat so her face was obscured, and she softly nestled against Lu Tinglou.
"How is Suisui?" Gu Yuan hurried forward and took Suisui into her arms from Lu Tinglou.
"She has a stomachache. Uncle Xiang said it might be because she ate raw cucumber."
As soon as Suisui was in Gu Yuan’s arms, her little hands eagerly wrapped around Gu Yuan’s neck, and she called with a soft voice, "Mommy, Mommy, Suisui hurts, it hurts."
Gu Yuan’s heart twisted with worry, "It’s okay, Suisui, you’ll be fine." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
She carried Suisui and entered the hospital soothingly.
Lu Tinglou followed closely behind.
Gu Yuan and her group took the elevator directly to the top floor.
The doctor, who had received a call earlier, was already waiting inside.
Suisui’s stomach had always been delicate. On the way to Xiangxilu last night, she pestered Sheng Yi for sips of milk tea, and this morning she ate raw cucumber without washing it, which upset her stomach, causing her to complain of a tummy ache.
Gu Yuan returned immediately upon receiving the call.
Lu Tinglou called, "I brought a new toy for Suisui. Just as I arrived at the Gu Mansion, I heard Uncle Xiang call you. I’ll take Suisui to the hospital first; we’ll meet there."
She arrived at the hospital, as did Lu Tinglou.
Suisui was sent to the emergency room without delay; everything went smoothly.
Half an hour later, Suisui fell asleep.
But her sleep was light, and Gu Yuan worried about waking her.
She stepped out and saw Lu Tinglou standing outside the door, and asked, "Did I delay you?"
"I was just going to bring Suisui a new toy, nothing urgent, it didn’t delay me." Lu Tinglou adjusted his tie.
Gu Yuan knew he wasn’t lying. He usually wore suits and ties, but today he was in casual wear, probably to accompany Suisui at the Gu Mansion.
When she was pregnant, it shocked those around her, including Lu Tinglou.
He was shocked and puzzled, but he never questioned her.
Even so, that year, Lu Tinglou frequently visited Gu Yuan. During her tough pregnancy, he was often with her. To outsiders, he seemed like a dutiful husband.
After Suisui was born, Lu Tinglou treated her almost like his own. He was busy, but whenever he wasn’t, he would visit Suisui at the Gu Mansion.
Many of the dresses in Suisui’s wardrobe were bought by Lu Tinglou.
Most of the toys in her playroom were also from him.
Gu Yuan had harshly told him off, but it was to no avail. Because Lu Tinglou never overstepped bounds, focusing solely on taking care of Suisui, leaving her speechless.
People around Lu Tinglou often said he loved the house and its crow.
Indeed, Lu Tinglou loved the house and its crow.
Today, Gu Yuan was grateful to Lu Tinglou, and she thanked him.
Lu Tinglou chuckled, "Being polite with me? Suisui is young and needs more care, after all."
He glanced inside through the glass, "Is Suisui asleep?"
"Yes, nothing major, just some medicine. We’ll wait until Suisui wakes before heading home." As soon as Gu Yuan finished, Lu Tinglou pressed the door handle and entered.
Gu Yuan said, "Don’t..."
"Suisui’s awake." Lu Tinglou had already stepped inside.
Gu Yuan followed him in. Sure enough, Suisui was awake. She checked her watch; Suisui had only been asleep for about five minutes.
Suisui extended her arms for a hug. Lu Tinglou was about to lift her, but Gu Yuan beat him to it, "Let me."
"Alright." Lu Tinglou stepped aside slightly.
Gu Yuan lifted Suisui and asked, "Is your tummy still hurting?"
"It doesn’t hurt anymore."
When the little girl had a stomachache earlier, her expression was so pained it seemed like water could be wrung from it, as listless as a sun-parched plantain.
Now she was lively again.
Gu Yuan rearranged her afternoon schedule to spend time with Suisui.
They first needed to return to the Gu Mansion.
She carried Suisui out of the hospital lobby, with Lu Tinglou walking beside her. When a call came to Gu Yuan’s phone, she couldn’t easily answer, so Lu Tinglou naturally took Suisui into his arms, allowing Gu Yuan to take the call.
Chi Yu’s car was parked not far away, and he quietly watched the scene—
The man was amusing the child in his arms, while the woman beside was on the phone, occasionally adjusting the hat on the child to shield her from the sun.
The chairman of the Gu Group, unmarried, yet what was he witnessing?
A family of three, harmonious and happy.
This scene was a sharp pain in Chi Yu’s eyes.
After all, he returned just a moment too late...
