War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 425: After - , I will never forget

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, "Yanyan, why do I feel like you’re more concerned about me?"

This feeling was just like Gu Yan five years ago, nagging and uneasy about him.

Gu Yan smiled gently as she held the phone, "Wait until you come back, I have something to tell you. I think you will be very surprised."

"What, am I having another child? Yanyan, I haven’t even done anything yet," Tang Yuxiu teased from the other end.

Gu Yan laughed and scolded him, "Why can’t you be serious? I don’t have an auto-pregnancy function." Besides, after giving birth to Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian, the doctor told her that due to her physical condition and the state of her uterus, it would be impossible to get pregnant again.

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian were the first children she gave birth to, and they would be the last.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you when I come back. Go have your meal, I’ll hang up now."

"Okay, bye-bye."

Tang Yuxiu waited until Gu Yan hung up the phone before he put his phone aside.

Thinking of the question she asked, he couldn’t help but smile lightly.

Even with the all-capable assistant You Shuyang, it wouldn’t be possible to open up rooms and create two brand-new rooms styled as they saw within a few days.

These two rooms had been created years ago.

Children had always been a sore spot in Tang Yuxiu’s heart. He always thought if Gu Yan was still around, if the children were still around, their lives would be completely different.

In his heart, he hoped they would have two children, a boy and a girl.

A girl who resembled Gu Yan, and a boy who looked like him, protecting the two little treasures together.

So, he asked You Shuyang to have someone help him open up the second-floor rooms and build two children’s rooms according to a boy’s and a girl’s preferences.

He just never expected that one day, someone would indeed live in these rooms.

He really waited for Gu Yan to come back, and she brought their two children with her.

The most beautiful thing in life is when the scenarios in your imagination turn into reality.

Heaven was ultimately compassionate to him, bringing them all back to his side.

However, the toys in the rooms were replenished by You Shuyang at lightning speed after hearing Gu Xiaonian mention it last time. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He thought about it and smiled, feeling incredibly delighted.

Just as he was about to continue dealing with company matters, he paused and pressed the intercom button.

"President, what is it?"

Tang Yuxiu said, "It’s time, order takeout for the people working overtime, and order one for me too."

You Shuyang was stunned on the other end, then confusedly asked, "You’re the president, right? Is someone playing a prank in the president’s office?"

Tang Yuxiu, "...Just order as I say, why are there so many pointless questions."

He turned off the intercom and began typing rapidly on the computer.

You Shuyang snapped back to reality, still in disbelief.

Tang Yuxiu actually took the initiative to remind him to order takeout?

That had never happened before.

Usually, when he thought about it, he would immediately have someone order takeout and deliver it to Tang Yuxiu, who either wouldn’t want it or would leave it aside to get cold and forget to eat it.

The sun must have set in the east.

You Shuyang, filled with doubt and surprise, called Wang Qi, "Honey, the president reminded me that it’s time to order takeout for the employees working overtime. Can you help me order it?"

Wang Qi was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment before asking, "Did Tang Yuxiu take the wrong medicine or something?"

You Shuyang couldn’t answer. Who knew.

Anyway, since Gu Yan came back, he would have these occasional eccentricities, and they were slowly getting used to it.

He guessed Gu Yan must have called to remind him to eat, or else he wouldn’t be acting so unusually.

With a president who showed a more human side, they felt somewhat relieved.

From Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu’s phone conversation, Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian had already figured out the truth that Tang Yuxiu couldn’t come home for dinner tonight.

The two children’s enthusiasm was thus shattered.

Gu Yan comforted the two children, "Daddy is busy with work, let’s understand him this time. We have plenty of time in the future, okay?"

"But today is different in meaning..." the two children muttered softly.

Gu Yan was silent for a moment as well; indeed, today was special.

Today was their first time coming home together, the first time having a meal at home.

A true family reunion in every sense.

Moreover, this meal was cooked with excitement and joy by the three of them, hoping that when Tang Yuxiu came back to taste it, he would become happier too.

"It’s okay, we have a long future ahead. You have to trust that daddy didn’t do it on purpose. No one expected this kind of situation; daddy’s company ran into problems. We should hope he resolves everything soon."

"Alright." The two children nodded listlessly.

"Okay, daddy told me to make sure you eat and don’t go hungry. Be good and listen to both daddy and mommy—let’s eat first. Daddy is eating takeout at the company, so we’re eating together in a sense."

Perhaps, that’s the best way to comfort ourselves psychologically.

"Alright..."

The mother and children sat at the dining table.

However, the food that seemed delicious earlier now tasted different.

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian had little appetite and didn’t eat much. Gu Yan insisted they eat a bit more, but only when they couldn’t force it anymore did she let it go.

Actually, she didn’t have much appetite either and didn’t eat much.

She put the leftover food in the fridge.

The children lay on the sofa watching TV without any enthusiasm.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Tang Yuxiu still hadn’t come back, so Gu Yan urged them to take a bath and go to bed.

The two children paid attention to the door while going upstairs, but it remained quiet, leaving them no choice but to go to their rooms to bathe and sleep.

Finally, after the two children fell asleep, Gu Yan returned to her own bedroom to bathe and sleep.

It had been a long time since she slept on this bed. Thinking about it now, it really felt nostalgic.

The arrangement in the room, even the position of a lamp, was exactly the same as it was five years ago. Her clothes were still precisely placed in the closet, and her old suitcase was lying in the corner, untouched.

It just appeared a bit smooth on the surface, as if it had been frequently polished.

Gu Yan didn’t know that during the days without her, Tang Yuxiu got through each day by looking at the things she left behind.

Perhaps it was returning to a familiar bed or because the bed was filled with Tang Yuxiu’s scent, she felt wrapped in an enveloping warmth and safety.

Before long, drowsiness crept up, and then she closed her eyes, gradually falling into a peaceful sleep.

She seemed to have a dream, one in which she relived every day, every detail of meeting and being with Tang Yuxiu.

It was as if she had walked their old road once again, leaving a deeper impression in her mind, engraving it in her heart.
