Gu Yuan walked over and picked up Suisui, who was lost in her own world. "Let’s go, it’s ti for dinner."
Suisui was notoriously picky with food every now and then. Just a while ago, Chi Yu indulged her with snacks, so now at alti, she wasn’t hungry.
"I don’t want dinner, I don’t want it." Suisui shook her head, making a strong effort to express her stance.
Gu Yuan knew that in this situation, saying anything was useless, so she put Suisui down. "Then you can play here, we’ll go eat."
Then she moved forward and, without Chi Yu noticing, took his hand and headed towards the dining room.
Chi Yu’s gaze was tightly locked on the sight of them holding hands, and a huge surge of joy welled up in his heart.
But in the next second—
The joy crashed down.
Gu Yuan turned her head to say to Suisui, "If you don’t co eat, it will just be and your good friend going, and we won’t play with you."
Completely absorbed in her own world, upon hearing these words, Suisui couldn’t stand it. She swiftly slid off the sofa, ran over, and hugged Chi Yu’s leg. "We don’t want to be apart~"
Gu Yuan bent down to pick up Suisui. "If you don’t want to be apart, then behave and eat a little bit. You can’t just not be hungry at altis."
"Suisui understands." Suisui voluntarily admitted her mistake.
Gu Yuan felt relieved. With Chi Yu around, disciplining Suisui beca much easier.
And only at this mont did Chi Yu realize that Yuan Yuan suddenly taking his hand was just to coax Suisui into eating.
Ah, he just liked to daydream every day.
Once Gu Yuan had coaxed Suisui, she let go of his hand, saying completely oblivious to the fact that she was teasing him, "Earlier was just to coax Suisui into eating, don’t mind it."
Chi Yu thought: But I do mind.
His mouth was more honest than his heart, and he asked, "What if I do mind?"
Without even thinking, Gu Yuan reached out with one hand to him. "If you mind, you can hold it again. I don’t care."
Chi Yu, shaless as ever, didn’t think it was all formality and directly held her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers for a few seconds before reluctantly letting go. "Alright, I don’t mind now."
Gu Yuan, carrying Suisui, walked ahead, her back facing Chi Yu. When he couldn’t see, a large, brilliant smile spread across her face.
At the dining table, there were only Gu Yuan, Chi Yu, and Suisui.
To Chi Yu, after ten years, this was the first ti he had a al with her in her world, and at least the atmosphere and feelings in this mont were real.
Suisui was coaxed into coming, but she couldn’t eat much.
Then she just sat there nodding off.
Gu Yuan gestured for Nanny to take Suisui upstairs to sleep, and Suisui obediently let Nanny carry her upstairs without a fuss.
Chi Yu asked, "Is this how Suisui usually eats?"
"No." Gu Yuan shook her head. "Occasionally."
She looked up at Chi Yu sitting across from her at the dining table, "Tonight you spoiled her with snacks, her stomach is a bit full, so she can’t eat much. You can’t indulge kids too much."
"So it’s my fault," Chi Yu blad himself.
"You didn’t know, but you’ve done very well already," Gu Yuan said.
Chi Yu felt a bit of sweat on his back.
It felt a bit hot.
Was it going to rain...?
Rain?? Artificial rain is coming??!!
Looks like Grandma’s efficiency is still very high.
Artificial rain ca just like that.
Chi Yu’s mood beca even better, but he kept a straight face, not letting anyone see his glee.
"About this morning’s matter, Mr. Chi, is there anything else you’d like to ask?" Gu Yuan proactively brought up the topic, eating slowly, trying to buy ti for the arranged artificial rain to co.
The artificial rain seed to be arriving soon.
Indeed, Gu Yuan had also contacted the teorological bureau and arranged for an artificial rain.
Chi Yu initially planned not to ask, but since Yuan Yuan brought it up, he asked the question he had been holding in his heart: "I have never been an early childhood teacher, and you announced as Suisui’s early childhood teacher just because Suisui is close to . It’s hard to let go of caution and defenses just because of that."
Gu Yuan slowly chewed her food. "Then what kind of explanation would Mr. Chi like?"
"Aren’t you worried I’m a disguised villain? Aren’t you worried your husband will be jealous? Using Suisui’s safety to test , if I really were a villain, Suisui would be in great danger..."
He had tasted her ruthlessness once, and it was a fate worse than death, like descending into Hell.
During those ten years, waiting for her return, he spent the first three years in a state of decline and self-forgiveness every day.
He forgave himself, but it beca even more torturous.
When Gu Yuan heard these questions from Chi Yu, the smile on her face slowly faded away.
Until it disappeared completely.
She t Chi Yu’s eyes and softly said, "I’m sorry."
Chi Yu: ?
Looking into his eyes, Gu Yuan continued, "You just asked if my husband knew, would he be angry? To be honest, my husband is indeed quite petty, he’s very jealous and gets angry easily, but he never gets angry in front of ."
"In public settings, he would begrudgingly shake hands with each person just to naturally hold my hand."
"When he was pursuing , he could sit downstairs of my office all afternoon, even if I ignored him, he would enthusiastically do it over and over again."
"He is so good, he’s the only one like him in the world, and I owe him."
"Our feelings have always been his initiative. Even though I tried to maintain it, without his persistence and active pursuit, we wouldn’t be where we are today."
As she spoke, she looked at Chi Yu with conviction and repeated, "He really is very, very good."
Chi Yu: "..."
If that "I’m sorry" seed inexplicable, he might have thought through why she said sorry.
But the words that followed were unnecessary.
He felt so sour inside, like a scissor had stabbed him deeply, yet there was no blood...
It was a very internal hurt.
"And," after saying those words, Gu Yuan felt sowhat relieved, even if he didn’t know she was referring to him as her husband.
"And Suisui won’t be in danger. I’m very certain. Even if there was danger, you’d go all out to protect her imdiately."
These words were too certain.
But Gu Yuan just wanted to say it.
Chi Yu’s heart was filled with conflicting emotions, both happy and complex. "So what about your husband, why didn’t he co ho tonight? Or do you guys not get along?"
Gu Yuan shrugged, "My husband? He’s everywhere."
She also said, "We get along really well, unbreakable."
Chi Yu: "..."
So what if you have a good relationship?
Even if the flower is taken, I can still practice grafting.
After dinner, it was ti to say goodbye and leave.
Chi Yu went out to feel the temperature and checked the weather forecast on his phone. Before midnight, there would be a heavy storm, with yellow font reminding everyone not to go out during this ti.
Chi Yu waited and waited for that heavy storm.
Gu Yuan walked over, "The weather isn’t great, there might be a heavy storm later, you..."
Chi Yu awaited her next words expectantly.
Gu Yuan continued, "Be careful on the road."
Chi Yu’s joy fell, and he responded, "Oh."
Gu Yuan turned around to instruct Uncle Xiang, "Rember to say that all the cars at the Gu Mansion are out of gas, and for safety, we won’t open the door to let outside cars in to pick people up tonight."
