Before Gu Yuan prepared to sleep, the housekeeper called from the landline downstairs. Gu Yuan picked up: "Uncle Xiang, what’s the matter?"
"Miss Gu, Mr. Chi drove to the Gu Mansion, but he was stopped. Now his car is parked outside," Uncle Xiang simply reported.
Uncle Xiang knew a bit about the matters between Gu Yuan and Chi Yu.
But it was so late, and it was raining heavily outside. Maybe Chi Yu had sothing to discuss with Miss Gu, so he specially reported it.
Gu Yuan was already feeling sleepy and couldn’t be bothered with Chi Yu. She directly instructed Uncle Xiang, "Ignore him, I need to rest."
Uncle Xiang responded, "Okay, Miss Gu."
However, even though she said not to worry about it, Uncle Xiang couldn’t completely disregard it.
Knowing Chi Yu’s car was blocked from entering and seeing from the surveillance that his car had been parked quietly for a long ti,
Uncle Xiang felt sympathetic.
Chi Yu had always been kind to him, and Uncle Xiang rembered his kindness. Although things were tense between Chi Yu and Miss Gu now, in Uncle Xiang’s heart, Chi Yu was still the one who personally carried him to the hospital.
Uncle Xiang packed so cookies baked today by Mumma and took an umbrella to head out.
It was about a hundred ters to the periter, and Uncle Xiang walked those hundred ters under the umbrella until he reached where Chi Yu’s car was parked, worried that he might have left. Seeing he hadn’t, Uncle Xiang approached and knocked on Chi Yu’s car window, "Mr. Chi?"
The car window rolled down.
To prevent rainwater from getting inside the car, Uncle Xiang moved forward slightly with the umbrella, covering the gap.
"Uncle Xiang, why did you co out?" Chi Yu was about to get out of the car.
Uncle Xiang stopped him, saying, "Don’t get out; it’s raining heavily outside, and it’s not good if your clothes get wet."
After speaking, he handed the bag of cookies through the car window: "These are the cookies Mumma baked today, which Miss Gu likes a lot. I brought you a portion too; it’s the sa flavor as last ti."
Mumma at the Gu Mansion was hired from abroad and was an excellent cook, adept at making Russian soup and baking delicious cookies and bread, which both Chi Yu and Gu Yuan loved.
It had been a long ti since Chi Yu had eaten anything made by Mumma.
So seeing Uncle Xiang bring him cookies now, he was very grateful, "Thank you, Uncle Xiang."
When reaching out to take the bag of cookies, Uncle Xiang saw that the back of Chi Yu’s hands was covered with bruises of varying sizes.
He felt a pang of heartache.
"How did you get these? Why so many wounds?" Uncle Xiang sounded very concerned.
Chi Yu shook his head with a faint smile, "I got bumped and bruised accidentally while filming, don’t worry, Uncle Xiang."
"This line of work is indeed dangerous. You need to be more careful," Uncle Xiang advised earnestly.
Chi Yu nodded in agreent to each of his words.
Uncle Xiang smiled kindly and said, "The matters of you young people, I can’t fully comprehend, but if there’s ever a chance, I still hope you and Miss Gu can be together. I’ve lived this long and haven’t seen any young couple as well-matched as you and Miss Gu."
"Miss Gu has it tough, managing such a big Gu Family on her own. She’s busy until late every night before she can rest. Don’t push her too much; give her so ti to figure things out."
Saying this, Uncle Xiang sighed, "It’s just fate playing tricks. You and Miss Gu are separated for now. In this world, there’s no misunderstanding that lasts forever. I hope you and Miss Gu can be well."
Elders always see things more clearly.
Listening to these words, Chi Yu’s somber eyes finally held a glimr of starlight.
Chi Yu said to Uncle Xiang, "I hope your words beco true, Uncle Xiang."
I too hope for that day.
