——Yiyi, I hope you get what you wish for.
After successfully sending Sheng Yi onto a plane flying to M Country, Gu Yuan returned to the company. In the afternoon, there were still two etings related to the food store. It was predicted that the etings would end very late, so while there was ti, Gu Yuan made a phone call to Chi Yu.
On the other side, the call was picked up, and there was so annoying static noise from the receiver.
Gu Yuan asked, "Where are you?"
It seed like the other side was waiting for the static to disappear. After about ten seconds, the botherso noise finally faded, and then his voice ca through: "In Hai City."
She thought he would say specifically where he was or what he was doing.
The result was just a sentence stating he was in Hai City.
Of course, I know you’re in Hai City.
Gu Yuan didn’t say much either, just acknowledged with a sound, looking at the watch on her wrist. As it wasn’t noon and was already two in the afternoon, there was no need to ask if he had eaten. It felt like suddenly there was nothing to talk about, and he said nothing either.
She rembered when she actively pulled him to the civil affairs bureau and they couldn’t remarry. Perhaps over ti, so things silently beco strained, not to ntion that she had done so many things to hurt his feelings.
"If there’s nothing else, then I’ll..." hang up.
"What about you? What are you doing?"
About to say she would hang up, but before she finished, his words interrupted.
She thought to herself that he finally found sothing to say.
"About to have a eting, there are two etings this afternoon." She told the man on the other end, with a tone no different from usual.
He responded with a sound: "Then you go ahead, if there’s anything, we’ll talk after you’re finished."
Then waited for her to hang up first.
When the two afternoon etings were over, it was already eight in the evening.
After the etings ended, Gu Yuan was very tired.
Planning to go straight back to the Gu Mansion, she called to ask Grandma Mu about how Suisui was doing today, only to learn that Chi Yu had also returned to the Gu Mansion.
"What ti did he co back?"
Grandma Mu replied: "Around seven in the evening, Mr. Chi didn’t eat after he ca back. I just prepared so food, Miss Gu, have you eaten?"
"I’ve eaten." Gu Yuan replied plainly: "I still have so things in hand, and I might co back very late. If it’s really too late, I’ll just stay at the office tonight. Tell Suisui if she asks, but if she doesn’t, don’t ntion it. Chi Yu will look after her."
Hearing that Gu Yuan might not co back tonight, Grandma Mu worriedly said, "If I had known, I would have boiled so pig’s trotters soup for you, Miss Gu, this is too tiring for you."
"It’s nothing, Grandma Mu, you should rest early after you’re done."
"Oh, okay."
Grandma Mu put down the phone and looked at the man sitting opposite, which was Mr. Chi. The little princess was right next to Mr. Chi, holding a new toy, a high-end Rubik’s Cube that Chi Yu had brought back casually. With Mr. Chi watching, Grandma Mu could work without worry.
She was contemplating whether to tell Mr. Chi that Miss Gu wouldn’t co back tonight when Mr. Chi happened to ask, "She’s not coming back tonight either?"
The voice, at first hear, felt cool and distant.
Grandma Mu suddenly rembered that it seed Miss Gu and Mr. Chi had not been getting along well the past two days. If Miss Gu really was delayed by work and didn’t return tonight, then it added up to two nights in a row that she hadn’t co back.
"Not sure yet, Mr. Chi," Grandma Mu said straightforwardly: "Miss Gu said there is still so work not finished at the company, probably sothing important, and ntioned that if it gets too late, she’ll stay at the office."
Chi Yu responded with a sound: "Got it."
Suisui, who was fiddling with the high-end Rubik’s Cube, heard the conversation between Chi Yu and Grandma Mu, raised her head, and asked, "Is Mommy not coming back tonight?"
Before Grandma Mu could say anything.
Chi Yu said, "Yes, not coming back, she doesn’t want us, the father and daughter."
Suisui widened her eyes, and threw the Rubik’s Cube into Chi Yu’s arms: "No way, Mommy wants , Mommy wants , Mommy wants ."
Said it three tis.
Representing that important things need to be said three tis.
After saying it three tis, Suisui didn’t forget to add: "Mommy doesn’t want you."
"..." Chi Yu felt a pang in his heart.
Grandma Mu, beside them, chuckled, watching Mr. Chi being flustered. She didn’t know why, but the more she looked, the more pleasing Mr. Chi seed now than before.
...
Gu Yuan, after hanging up the call, didn’t react much, thinking to herself that if you have nothing to say to , I’m also too lazy to say anything to you. Let’s just keep things separate, saying it would just be perfunctory, why make things difficult for myself?
In fact, the company’s matters had already finished, and it was ti for her to go back now.
But as she said on the phone, she didn’t feel like going back to see Chi Yu’s cold face. He had just regained his mory the past couple of days, likely being quite irritable. Better to wait until his temper calms down before appearing in front of him. Otherwise, going now would just annoy him.
