Ch. 101..110
Chapter 101: He Was Loving and Gentle,” Just Two Minutes…” Ye Zixi turned around and saw Ye Qingwan walking over. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
She quickly handed the dishes to Gu Shimo and called out,”Mom.””
Then, she said,” I’m going to the toilet first.”
She ran out of the kitchen.
She went into the washroom outside.
In the kitchen, Ye Qingwan lowered her voice and asked Gu Shimo,” Didn’t we agree not to tell Zixi?”
“I didn’t tell him. You heard it too. He’s the one who’s been looking for a husband for you.”
Gu Shimo’s tone was a little gloomy.
His large palm unconsciously reached over and pulled her into his embrace.
“Stop fooling around.”
Ye Qingwan’s face changed slightly as she struggled.
However, Gu Shimo clasped the back of his head and bent down to look for her lips.
“Zixi has a guilty conscience and won’t come out for a while.”
Actually, he was thinking that when Zixi came out and saw him, he could tell him that he was his father.
Ye Qingwan didn’t dare to be too loud.
She was afraid that her voice would be heard by Zi Xi in the washroom, so she widened her eyes and glared at Gu Shimo.
“Open your mouth.”
The man’s low voice seduced her.
The kiss was affectionate and gentle.
“..”
“Be good, just kiss me for two minutes.”
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat.
As if she was bewitched by him, her small mouth opened slightly.
She let his breath envelop her like a huge net.
Gu Shimo kept his word.
After about two minutes, he let go of her.
However, he only let go of her small mouth. His large palm was still on the back of her head, and his gaze was gentle and deep.
“Wanwan.”
“Let go of me.”
She ignored his emotions.
Ye Qingwan looked away and called out in a low voice.
Gu Shimo curled his lips into a smile. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang at an inappropriate time.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead again.
Only then did he let go of her and took out his phone to answer the call.
It was Zhao Qinlan.
Before he answered the call, Gu Shimo looked at Ye Qingwan and said gently,” Wanwan, help me wash the cabbage.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan didn’t say anything. She turned on the tap and washed the vegetables.
Gu Shimo stood beside her. He pressed the answer button with his long fingers and called out,”Mom.”
Close by.
Zhao Qinlan’s angry and sharp voice clearly entered her ears.
“Shi Mo, did Ye Qingwan come back yesterday?”
“Mom, Wanwan did go back yesterday. I asked her to accompany me back. Is there anything wrong?”
Gu Shimo did not even blink when he lied.
Ye Qingwan stopped washing the vegetables.
He continued.
“Did she come back with you? Then, did she enter my room?”
“No, why did Wanwan enter your room?”
“I lost a set of jewelry.”
“Mom, Wanwan doesn’t lack money. If she really likes jewelry, she can just ask me directly. The money I earn is for her to spend. There’s no need for me to take yours. Instead of suspecting Wanwan, why don’t you ask Bai Shanshan, who can enter and leave the Gu residence freely?”
“Alright, then I might have made a mistake.”
Zhao Qinlan did not know why she suddenly stopped pursuing the matter.
After saying a few more words to Gu Shimo, she made up a random excuse and hung up the phone.
In the living room, Zixi had not come out of the bathroom yet.
She was probably going to hide until she called him for breakfast.
Gu Shimo hugged Ye Qingwan from behind and reached his hand into the sink to help wash the vegetables.
He felt Ye Qingwan’s body stiffen in his arms.
He pressed his thin lips against her ear and said softly,” If my mother calls to ask you, just say that you’re accompanying me back.”
“Aren’t you going to ask what I took?”
Ye Qingwan was silent for a few seconds.
She looked up at him.
When she met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Gu Shimo curled his lips and said nonchalantly,” If you don’t want to tell me, it’s useless even if I ask. I’ll wait for the day you’re willing to tell me.”
Chapter 102: Discovering the Cameras Ye Qingwan looked up at him in surprise again.
The man was handsome and had a noble temperament.
Her deep eyes reflected her own image. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the photo in Zhao Qinlan’s safe.
Pursing her lips, she pretended to ask casually,” Do you know why your parents ‘relationship isn’t good?”
“Are you interested in this?”
Gu Shimo raised his eyebrows.
He looked at her with an inquisitive look in his eyes.
“A little.”
Ye Qing Wan did not avoid his gaze.
When she heard the door of the washroom open, Ye Qingwan pushed him away instinctively.
Gu Shimo laughed softly and stood beside her.” I heard them arguing earlier. My mother said that my father has a woman outside.”
—-
At the Gu residence.
After Zhao Qinlan called Gu Shimo, she asked the servant.
At the breakfast table, she also asked Gu Ziyang and got the same answer.
Gu Ziyang also said that his brother brought Wanwan back.
Moreover, Wanwan didn’t go upstairs and didn’t go to her room.
“Mom, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did you lose something?”
Gu Ziyang held the toast in one hand and the glass of milk in the other.
He looked suspiciously at Zhao Qinlan, who was sitting opposite him.
She frowned.” Yes.”
“What did you lose?”
Gu Ziyang asked with concern. After a pause, he said,” Wanwan definitely won’t take your things. However, I saw Bai Shanshan sneaking upstairs yesterday. You can ask her.””
“Shanshan wouldn’t take my things.”
Zhao Qinlan thought for a while.
She immediately got someone to install a camera at her house.
Previously, for the sake of privacy, she had never been willing to install a camera at home.
Now that her safe had been touched and the medicine inside had been taken, she had to find the thief.
However, he could not let Zi Yang know about this.
Therefore, she only asked someone to install it after Gu Ziyang went out.
“Mrs. Gu, you already have a camera here.”
Just as Zhao Qinlan was thinking that she would grab Ye Qingwan the next time she came, the installation worker’s voice suddenly sounded a few meters away.
Her expression changed as she stepped forward.
He stood under the ladder and looked up.
Sure enough, the installation worker took something from the ceiling and gave it to her.
Zhao Qinlan took it from her and gritted her teeth.” Ye Qingwan, you b * tch.””
No wonder she came back yesterday to steal the things in her safe.
It turned out that he had installed a camera and saw her open the safe yesterday.
—-
In the CEO’s office of the Gu Corporation.
Ye Qingwan saw that her mini camera had been discovered.
All the clues were cut off.
I’m so depressed that I’m so angry
Behind the desk, Gu Shimo looked up and saw that she was frowning and looking unhappy.
She stopped working and asked with concern,” Wanwan, what’s wrong?”
Ye Qingwan glanced at him, then lowered her head to look at the phone in her hand.
She said lightly,” The camera you installed in your house has been removed.”
Hearing this.
A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Shimo’s eyes.
She got up and walked out of the office desk to the sofa.
Ye Qingwan told him that his mother had hired someone to install a surveillance camera in the house.
Then, she found the one he was pretending to be.
“I’m going back to the office building opposite.”
Ye Qingwan had been dragged to his company by him today.
She said that she had not recovered from her cold and that if she went to the hospital to see Leng Xiao’s newborn son, she would infect him. It was not good.
“Why are you going back to the other side?”
Gu Shimo grabbed her.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and said,” Something happened.””
Gu Shimo stared at her for a few seconds. His phone rang and he let go.
He picked up the phone.
Zhao Qinlan’s questioning voice came through the phone,”Shi Mo, did you install the camera in my room?””
“Mom, what camera?”
Gu Shimo’s expression did not change as he asked,” Didn’t you say that there’s no sense of privacy when you install a camera at home? Could it be that my dad was worried about you being at home alone, so he secretly pretended to be?”
Chapter 103: Test Results Ye Qingwan listened as Gu Shimo pushed the blame onto Gu Xiaoquan.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Zhao Qinlan asked doubtfully,” You said that your father secretly pretended to be a spy? What does he have to worry about me?”
“Don’t you trust him?”
“I’m worried about him because he… I’ll call him and ask him.”
“Even if you ask him, he won’t admit it. There’s no need to ask. Just dismantle the camera.”
Gu Shimo said calmly.
It was as if it was nothing at all.
Ye Qingwan didn’t listen to his nonsense anymore. She left his office and went back to the office building opposite.
Gu Shimo did not stop her.
After ending the call with Zhao Qinlan, he called Zuo Zhi to come to the company.
Bai Shanshan’s monitoring was cut off.
Zhao Qinlan was also completely cut off.
In less than half an hour, Zuo Zhi rushed to the company.
“Master, do you know everything?”
Zuo Zhi asked as soon as he entered the office.
Gu Shimo’s tall and slender figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. There was a thin layer of coldness on his face.
There was a bottomless darkness in his eyes.
“Don’t worry about her. Go and investigate something.”
“Master, what’s the matter?”
The Zuo Zhi walked in front of Gu Shimo.
Gu Shimo lowered his eyes, unlocked his phone, and logged into WeChat.
A moment later.
The Left Executive’s phone rang with a message.
He opened it.
It was from Gu Shimo.
The Zuo Zhi looked at Gu Shimo in surprise.” Master, this is?”
“Auntie Ye’s test report back then, she didn’t simply die for love.”
Gu Shimo’s voice was so deep that it was suffocating.
“Wanwan came home yesterday because she saw the video of her opening the safe. She probably took the medicine because she gave it to Bai Shanshan. What could have happened at the hotel last night?”
“Master, I was just about to tell you.”
The Left Deacon said respectfully,”Last night, Bai Shanshan and Liu Yunzhi left the hall before the banquet ended.” However, they did not leave the hotel. Instead, in the hotel room…All the way till late at night, twelve o’clock, white Shanshan, just being her assistant, picking up the hotel, at that time, she looked very embarrassed, still always lowering her head, wearing a mask, not daring to be captured by the surveillance cameras.”
“What happened after that?”
Gu Shimo walked to his desk and sat down.
Zuo Zhi continued,” Liu Yunzhi left this morning…I took the cup he drank from for a test. This is the result.”
“..”
Gu Shimo took the test report from Zuo Zhi and read it.
His eyes quickly darkened.
The aura around him was also cold.
“Grandpa.”
The Left Executive called out in a low voice.
He did not dare to continue.
The results were the same.
Even a fool would know what this meant.
It was definitely not a coincidence.
So, his mother might really be Wanwan’s enemy.
After Zuo Zhi left, Gu Shimo called his father, Gu Xiaoquan.
The phone was still on the line, and it was unknown if Zhao Qinlan was talking to Gu Xiaoquan.
Gu Shimo stared at the two laboratory reports that had been separated by more than ten years.
His heart sank.
If his mother was really the murderer who killed Wanwan’s mother…
—-
Ye Qingwan hadn’t returned to the office yet.
Zhao Qinlan’s call came in.
Looking at the name flashing on the screen, Ye Qingwan’s eyes were cold.
After a long while.
Only then did she press the answer button and indifferently say,”Hello.”
Zhao Qinlan’s voice came from the other end of the phone.” Ye Qingwan, did you open my safe and take my things?””
“Since Aunt Gu has decided on me, there’s nothing else to ask.”
Ye Qingwan sneered.
She then said sarcastically,” I heard that there’s a very precious photo in Auntie’s safe. It was taken when Uncle Gu was young. He thought that he must have missed the woman he once loved deeply, so he took two photos of your safe and prepared to send them to Uncle Gu.”
“Ye Qingwan, you little b * tch, do you believe that I will sue you for theft?”
Chapter 104: Ye Qingwan’s Guess Zhao Qinlan’s voice was filled with hatred and hatred.
Ye Qingwan smiled disapprovingly.” I don’t care. Auntie Gu, go ahead and sue me. This way, everyone will know that Auntie is a failure who can’t keep her husband’s heart. The woman in the photo looked elegant and noble, unlike Auntie who looked like a shrew. No wonder Uncle Gu would not forget her.”
“You’re talking nonsense. That b * tch doesn’t deserve to be liked by Gu Xiaoquan at all.”
Obviously.
The unknown woman was a thorn in Zhao Qinlan’s heart.
He couldn’t pull it out, and he couldn’t ignore it.
As long as she mentioned it, she would be ferocious and mean.
Ye Qingwan wanted to provoke her.
She smiled and said,” Aunt Gu is so angry. It must be because Uncle Gu still can’t forget her. However, this is not the most important thing because you have never won Uncle Gu’s heart. Most importantly, I’m worried that you will lose Brother Ziyang and Brother Shi Mo in the end.”
“Hmph, do you think they will be bewitched by you? At most, you can confuse Shi Mo and delude my Ziyang. Dream on, don’t forget the oath you made. If you are with Shi Mo now, he will die a horrible death at any time.”
“Is that so? There are so many men in the world who can only make Brother Shi Mo die. I’ll go find Brother Ziyang. You might not know this, but Brother Ziyang confessed to me.”
“Don’t even think about it. Do you think I’ll let you harm my Zi Yang? Ye Qingwan, if you don’t want anything to happen to you and your illegitimate son, stay away from Li Yang.””
Zhao Qinlan threatened Ye Qingwan for her son.
Ye Qingwan tightened her grip on her phone.
“Didn’t Aunt Gu do it five years ago? I’m alive and well now. Auntie Gu, don’t worry. I will tell Brother Ziyang and Brother Shi Mo about this.”
“Ye Qingwan, what do you want? The person who harmed you five years ago was Bai Shanshan. It had nothing to do with me. As long as you stay away from Zi Yang, I won’t let you off if you dare to talk nonsense in front of him.”
Zhao Qinlan was mad at Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan stood beside the elevator on the first floor of the building.
At this moment, the elevator door opened, and the people who came out were her Qingyun Wan’s people.
Ye Qingwan didn’t want to talk to Zhao Qinlan anymore, so she hung up.
Back at the office building, everyone was busy.
Ye Qingwan sat in her office in a daze.
He replayed the conversation with Zhao Qinlan in his mind.
Her heart stopped beating for two seconds.
His phone rang.
It was from Gu Shimo.
Ye Qingwan opened the message: [Wanwan, let’s have lunch together and buy Leng Xiao’s son a present in the afternoon.]]
Gu Shimo was not an enthusiastic person. He had always been cold and indifferent.
She had never liked Leng Xiao.
Ye Qingwan didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he was suddenly so keen on giving gifts.
He stared at it for a long time.
She typed the word ” Okay ” and sent it.
The other party quickly replied,[I’ll pick you up after I’m done.]]
Ye Qingwan did not reply.
She recalled the words that Zhao Qinlan had been whispering to her all these years, the oath that she had been forced to make.
“Ye Qingwan, swear that if you dare to seduce either Ziyang or Shi Mo in the future, Shi Mo will die a horrible death. You’re not allowed to have any ideas about them…”
“Ye Qingwan, if you are with Shi Mo, he will die a horrible death.”
“Ye Qingwan, don’t forget that no matter who you are with, the one who will die a horrible death is Gu Shimo.”
“Gu Shimo will die a horrible death…”
He died a horrible death.
This was the curse that Zhao Qinlan had planted in her heart.
But at this moment.
Ye Qingwan, however, took Zhao Qinlan’s words and the sentence in the photo,” B * tch, I won’t let your son go.]They were all connected together.
There was no evidence.
It was completely based on his feelings, and he somehow connected them together.
Ye Qingwan’s pupils widened in shock.
Chapter 105: Encounter in the Cemetery (1) How was this possible?
Ye Qingwan couldn’t believe her own guess.
However, Zhao Qinlan really did not treat Gu Shimo very well.
Before this, she had always thought that it was because of her.
Back then, Gu Shimo had insisted that she return home, but Zhao Qinlan had disagreed.
For this reason, Gu Shimo had even agreed to a marriage alliance with the Bai family. Ever since then, their relationship didn’t seem to be good.
Ye Qingwan shook her head heavily.
He couldn’t guess.
However, she couldn’t help but guess.
She thought of what her mother had said.”Wanwan, you must listen to Brother Shi Mo in the future, okay?””
Her mother had always liked Gu Shimo.
She even entrusted him to take care of her.
No, she had to find out if this was true.
—-
In the Bai family.
Bai Shanshan didn’t expect that pervert Liu Yunzhi would dare to come to her house.
Moreover, he proposed to marry her.
If she had not heard what he said last night, she would have thought that Liu Yunzhi really liked her.
But now, she was standing in the stairwell and saw Liu Yunzhi sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
She even wanted to kill him.
Last night, the Nannan Liu Yunzhi mentioned was the daughter of Bai Ruixing and his ex-wife.
His name was Bai Yunan.
Before Bai Yunan died, Bai Ruixing did not like Bai Shanshan very much.
“Shanshan, what are you standing there for? Come down quickly.”
Bai Ruixing didn’t care why Bai Shanshan’s face was covered in bruises when she came back today.
He only knew that Liu Yunzhi was much more polite than that uneducated man, Gu Shimo.
He kept saying that the Bai family’s business was his business. He even said that he wanted to marry Bai Shanshan.
This made Bai Ruixing very happy.
Seeing that Bai Shanshan didn’t respond, she didn’t come downstairs either.
Bai Ruixing’s face darkened as he instructed his mother to speak.
Mother Bai was about to get up.
Liu Yunzhi stood up with a smile.” Uncle, Auntie, I have something to say to Shanshan alone. She doesn’t have to come down.””
“Alright, you guys go to Shanshan’s room.”
Bai Ruixing didn’t care about selling his daughter.
Bai Shanshan trembled when she heard his words.
Seeing Liu Yunzhi come upstairs, killing intent flashed in her eyes, and her hands clenched into fists.
Liu Yunzhi saw her killing intent and hatred. He leaned close to her ear and threatened her,”Bai Shanshan, if you don’t want Gu Shimo to know that I’ve played you countless times, then keep your emotions in check.””
Bai Shanshan gritted her teeth in anger.
As soon as she returned to her room, Liu Yunzhi tore off her clothes and pressed her against the French window.
Bai Shanshan was no match for Liu Yunzhi in this matter.
After last night.
Liu Yunzhi even tried to hide his disgust for Bai Shanshan.
He was purely using her as a venting tool.
“Bai Shanshan, do you think I’ll let you marry Gu Shimo and become the young mistress of the Gu family? In your dreams.”
He gritted his teeth and said with a force that he wanted to kill Bai Shanshan.
They smashed at her together.
Bai Shanshan shouted loudly.
Liu Yunzhi became more and more abnormal.
An hour later.
The room finally quieted down.
Liu Yunzhi put on his clothes and showed the video to Bai Shanshan.
It was a shameful position, and she was powerless to snatch it.
Liu Yunzhi ordered coldly,” Put on your clothes and follow me to the cemetery to see Nannan.”
—-
Qingyun Wan.
Ye Qingwan let her imagination run wild.
She forced herself to stop imagining things, but she did not wait for Gu Shimo to finish his work and look for her.
She took the initiative to go downstairs.
She sent a message to Gu Shimo,[I’m waiting for you downstairs.]]
A few minutes later, Gu Shimo’s car stopped in front of Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. The man beside her asked,” Where do you want to go for dinner?””
“Let’s go to 1587.”
Along the way.
Ye Qingwan sat sideways and her gaze fell on Gu Shimo, who was driving beside her.
A ” brother ” came from her red lips.
Gu Shimo broke the silence in the car and turned to look at her.
Chapter 106: EnEncountering in the Cemetery (2) “What’s wrong?”
Gu Shimo glanced at Ye Qingwan and then looked ahead.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and looked at his big hand that was holding the steering wheel. It was slender and clean, with distinct joints.
She smiled absentmindedly.” Brother, do you still remember what my mother looked like?”
“I remember.”
Gu Shimo’s voice was low and magnetic.
“You miss Auntie Ye?”
“Yes.”
“Well, why don’t we go to the cemetery first, if you’re not very hungry?”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Alright, then I’ll go see Aunt Ye and Uncle Ye first before coming back for dinner.”
Gu Shimo’s heartache for Ye Qingwan started when she lost her parents.
Before that, Ye Qingwan had chased after him and called out softly,”Brother Shi Mo.””
He had never been passionate about her.
Regarding her words of “Brother Shi Mo, I want to be your bride when I grow up”…
He didn’t take it seriously.
—-
The cemetery was very quiet.
After getting out of the car, Gu Shimo held Ye Qingwan’s hand in his palm and led her forward.
Ye Qingwan looked down at his big hand that was holding hers. The warmth seeped into her skin, as if it was drilling into her heart.
Her mood today was different from when he held her hand previously.
He didn’t even struggle.
When she reached the tombstone, she placed the bouquet on the ground and looked at the man and woman on the tombstone. She said softly,”Daddy, Mommy, Brother Shi Mo and I have come to visit you.””
Gu Shimo’s gaze shifted away from the tombstone.
He turned to look at Ye Qingwan.
He listened to her say,” I want to find out the truth about the car accident back then and my mother’s death…If you were really harmed by someone else, then I won’t let go of the person who harmed you.”
The man and woman on the tombstone smiled gently and lovingly.
But no matter what Ye Qingwan said, they didn’t answer.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Qingwan was the one talking.
“Brother Shi Mo, let’s go.”
When they left, she was the one who pulled Gu Shimo down the stairs.
Her fingers were slender and fair. She could not hold Gu Shimo’s large palm, but only three of his fingers.
Before he reached the car.
A dozen meters away, he saw another car parked by the roadside.
When the person in the car got out.
Ye Qingwan’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was Liu Yunzhi and Bai Shanshan.
To be precise, Bai Shanshan was dragged down by Liu Yunzhi.
Because of the angle and the tree.
Liu Yunzhi did not see Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan.
He pulled Bai Shanshan to Bai Yunan’s tombstone and pressed her to the ground.
Ye Qingwan turned to look at Gu Shimo.
Their gazes met.
Gu Shimo explained in a low voice,” Bai Yunan’s death might have something to do with Bai Shanshan. If Bai Yunan was still alive, all the resources Bai Shanshan enjoyed would belong to Bai Yunan.”
“So, Liu Yunzhi hooked up with Bai Shanshan because of Bai Yunan?”
Ye Qingwan was not familiar with Bai Yunan.
He only remembered that the girl was very beautiful.
Moreover, he didn’t even seem to be 18 years old when he died.
Liu Yunzhi’s voice drifted into Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan’s ears.
“Bai Shanshan, kowtow to Nannan.”
He grabbed Bai Shanshan’s hair and made her kowtow.
Bai Shanshan screamed, and then there was the sound of a slap.
Then, Liu Yunzhi pulled Bai Shanshan up and tore off her clothes.
In front of Bai Yunan, he wanted to use force on her.
Before Ye Qingwan could see clearly, her vision suddenly turned black.
The man’s low voice fell beside her ear.” Don’t dirty your eyes.”
—-
Gu Shimo pulled Ye Qingwan to the front of the car and stuffed her inside.
Other than hearing some sounds.
She didn’t see what Liu Yunzhi and Bai Shanshan were doing.
“Brother Shi Mo.”
After putting on her seatbelt, Ye Qingwan said softly before Gu Shimo started the car,” Five years ago, it was Bai Shanshan.”
Hearing that.
Gu Shimo turned to look at her.
Chapter 107: It Won’t Happened Again Wanwan, what did you say?”
Actually, Gu Shimo understood what he meant.
He was just shocked that Ye Qingwan would tell him.
Ye Qingwan narrowed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice echoed in the carriage.
However, every word was like hot molten iron smashing into his heart.
“Five years ago, it was Bai Shanshan who found someone to kidnap me. Last time, I told you that those five men…That was her motive, but Leng Xiao had come just in time.”
“..”
Gu Shimo locked his gaze on her and pursed his lips tightly.
“Bai Shanshan knew that I was pregnant and was afraid that one day, I would tell you the truth about that night because of the child in my stomach. She killed one of my babies. If it weren’t for her, Zixi would have had a younger brother or sister.”
“Wanwan.”
Gu Shimo’s voice was filled with self-blame and heartache.
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward and pulled Ye Qingwan into his arms.
Although she had said before that she had narrowly escaped death five years ago.
However, it was not as detailed as it was now.
He caressed her gently with his large palm.” I’m sorry.””
“..”
Ye Qingwan thought she wouldn’t cry.
After five years, other than hatred, there was nothing else.
However, when she was hugged by Gu Shimo, she still felt a lump in her throat.
When his apology fell into her ears, it was as if the heat in her heart had hit an outlet. It turned into tears that flowed out of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
So…
Still sad and aggrieved.
“Let’s drive. I’m hungry.”
She watched as Gu Shimo wiped her tears.
Just now, in the office, she was only guessing about Gu Shimo’s background.
At this moment, she was actually looking forward to his identity being as she had guessed.
“Alright.”
Gu Shimo nodded. He moved his fingers away from her cheek, leaned over, and kissed her forehead.
Extremely gentle.
“Wanwan, what happened five years ago won’t happen again.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan opened her mouth.
In the end, he did not say anything.
Before she figured out the truth, she didn’t want to say too much to him.
If in the end, it was not as he had guessed.
In that case, she would treat what she had said to him today as repayment for using his wedding.
She would definitely take revenge.
After taking revenge, they would not owe each other anything.
Thinking of this, her heart started to ache inexplicably.
—-
When Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan arrived at 1587.
It was already half-past one.
They ordered all of Ye Qingwan’s favorite dishes. In the private room that was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, Gu Shimo handed Ye Qingwan a glass of water.
She took it and said,”Thank you, Brother Shi Mo.”
Gu Shimo’s gaze deepened.
He was still very confused and didn’t know why Wanwan’s attitude towards him suddenly changed.
Just this morning, she was still very cold to him.
Was it because she had taken something from his mother’s safe and he was hiding it for her?
His phone rang.
Gu Shimo stopped guessing in his heart and pressed the answer button. His voice was low as it flowed out of his thin lips.” Hello, Dad.””
“Shi Mo, when you called just now, I was busy. What’s the matter?”
It was his father, Gu Xiaoquan’s voice.
It was accompanied by the sound of children reading.
Gu Shimo’s gaze fell on Ye Qingwan, who was drinking water beside him.
She lowered her eyes, thinking about something.
He asked calmly,” I just wanted to ask if my mother called you.”
“I did, and I’m still very angry.”
“Oh, why is she angry?”
“She questioned why there was a camera in the house and even scolded me for being perverted and monitoring her.”
Professor Gu was scolded inexplicably.
At that time, he was in class, so he hung up on Zhao Qinlan.
Then, when she called him a second time, he blocked her.
Gu Shimo leaned back in his chair as if he was watching a joke.” Really? Do you admit it?”
Chapter 108: Making Him a Stepfather “Why would I admit it? Why would I install a camera in her room?”
At this point, Gu Xiaoquan paused and asked,”Shi Mo, did you install the camera in your mother’s room?””
“Dad, if Mom asks you again, just admit that you’re pretending.”
Gu Shimo’s answer was irrelevant, causing Gu Xiaoquan to frown.
“You should at least tell me the reason why you want me to be the scapegoat. Could it be that your mother interfered with the company’s matters?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Then why did you do it?”
“Dad, since I’ve already put it up, it’s of course useful. But now, my mother has found out. She already has a problem with me. Recently, because of Bai Shanshan’s matter, she has become even more displeased. Therefore, you can only take the blame for this.”
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
“Alright, I’ll call her later and tell her that I was the one who faked it.””
—-
In the villa.
After dinner, Ye Zixi lay on the coffee table in the living room, holding a brush and drawing something on the paper.
Gu Feng went out for a while before returning to the living room.
She saw that he had drawn three people with a flower in the middle.
“Zixi, what did you draw?”
Gu Feng’s lips curled into a smile. He propped his hands on his knees and bent over to look at him.
Ye Zixi looked up at him and frowned.” Uncle Gu Feng, can’t you recognize who I drew?””
“Uncle Gu Feng has always been blind to faces, so he couldn’t recognize him.”
Gu Feng couldn’t help but say.
As far as he knew, his master’s painting skills were not very good.
Zixi seemed to have inherited his father’s painting genes, so he really couldn’t recognize who the person painted looked like.
“This is Uncle Ziyang, this is Uncle Lu, and this is Uncle Yang Feng, whom my mother and I met overseas…You don’t know Uncle Yang and Uncle Lu are very normal, even Uncle Ziyang doesn’t know each other, it seems that your face blindness has reached the late stage.”
Gu Feng’s mouth twitched.” Why did you draw the three of them? There’s a flower in the middle.”
“The flower in the middle is my mother. Among the people I know, only the three of them have the possibility of becoming my stepfather.”
“Stepfather?”
“Yes, I asked Uncle in the morning. He said he didn’t object. So, I’m going to find a boyfriend for my mom openly in the future.”
“Why do you have to find a stepfather?”
“Take care of Mommy.”
Zixi sighed.” Mom will be lonely. I can’t always be by her side.”
“..”
“I have to study every day. School is about to start. Besides, Mom said that I’m a boy and can’t pester Mom all day. So, I need to find a stepfather to take care of Mom. Only then can I go to school without worry.”
“Well, if that’s the case, I think you can add another candidate.”
Gu Feng pointed at the flower in the middle and said.
Zixi blinked her beautiful eyes.” Another one? Uncle Gu, are you going to introduce me to your new uncle?”
” You’re the one who knows her now. Isn’t your uncle quite nice? Besides, isn’t he taking care of your mother now?””
“Ah, how could I forget?”
Zixi suddenly slapped her head and smiled in surprise.” Uncle said that he would not get married and would take care of Mom and me.” But when I asked him this morning, he didn’t say anything. Could it be that he doesn’t like my mother?”
“Of course…”
“No, uncle looks so much like me. If he likes my mother and is willing to be my stepfather, I’ll have to go to the hospital. Then if someone asks about it in the future, I can still let him pretend to be my father. I have to think about how to make him like my mother.”
Zixi pondered seriously.
Uncle was good to both his mother and him. Moreover, he was not related to his mother by blood.
He could totally be his stepfather.
In the future, he would work hard to create opportunities for them.
Chapter 109: Special Thanks After Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo left Room 1587, they went to the mall to buy a gift for Leng Xiao’s son.
Gu Shimo carefully picked one item at a time.
From baby carriages, baby cribs to baby products.
Gu Shimo seemed to be very interested in every item. He even asked humbly,” Wanwan, do you think this will do? This color is quite nice…Did Zixi use this kind of saliva towel when she was young?”
Before seeing Leng Xiao’s newborn son, Gu Shimo felt sorry for Ye Qingwan, who had been pregnant for ten months and had raised him.
However, he lacked a reference.
The moment he saw her holding the child in the hospital ward yesterday.
Gu Shimo’s heart skipped a beat.
Later on, when Yu Xin was pushed back to the ward, she looked so weak.
He thought of the scar on Wanwan’s abdomen that was hard to see if he didn’t look closely.
It was as if he had traveled back in time and space a few years ago and saw her when she gave birth to Zixi.
At that moment, his heart ached to the extreme.
“Zixi used it.”
Ye Qingwan nodded gently, a gentle smile on her delicate face.
“He was very naughty when he was young…”
Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan spent two hours picking out the items and finally got the mall to pull a cart.
It was because Yu Xin had dragged Ye Qingwan along when she went shopping last time.
She knew what was lacking and what was not.
Before the delivery, Ye Qingwan called Yu Xin and asked Leng Xiao to go back.
“Wanwan, Gu Shi Mo even specially accompanied you to pick things?”
Yu Xin’s focus wasn’t on what Ye Qingwan bought.
Instead, Gu Shimo accompanied her to buy it.
Ye Qingwan looked up and met Gu Shimo’s warm eyes.” Yes, he picked all the items.”
” Wanwan, thank you so much…”
Half an hour later.
Gu Shimo’s car stopped at the hospital.
He glanced at Gu Feng who was outside the car.
She asked him to accompany Ye Qingwan upstairs to see Yu Xin, and he would pick her up later.
Ye Qingwan looked at him and nodded.” Okay.””
Gu Feng had been called over by Gu Shimo just now.
Ye Qingwan watched as Gu Shimo’s car drove away.
Pursing her lips, she dialed Leng Xiao’s number.
After a few rings, Leng Xiao’s voice was heard.” Wanwan.””
“Brother Leng Xiao, Brother Mo might come to your house later.”
Although Gu Shimo did not say it.
However, Ye Qingwan’s intuition told her that he had gone home to look for Leng Xiao instead of accompanying her to the hospital.
Hearing her words, Leng Xiao fell silent.
“Brother Leng Xiao, I’ll explain to you later.”
“Wanwan, if you think he’s good, then maybe he’s really good to you. Alright, I won’t do anything to him.”
Leng Xiao’s voice sounded again, very stiff.
Ye Qingwan didn’t explain further since Gu Feng was right beside her.
After hanging up the phone, she and Gu Feng took the elevator upstairs to Yu Xin’s ward.
Gu Feng did not go in with her. Instead, he waited in the corridor.
It was as Ye Qingwan guessed.
Gu Shimo did not go upstairs with her. Instead, he went here to look for Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao stood outside the door and watched as the employees of the mall moved large and small boxes of items into the house.
When Gu Shimo came out of the elevator, he only glanced at him indifferently before looking away.
The atmosphere in the corridor was oppressive.
Gu Shimo looked at Leng Xiao, who had a very cold expression on his face, and said calmly,” Wanwan told me that it was all thanks to your timely arrival five years ago that she was able to survive. Leng Xiao, I came here today to thank you.”
“Thank you?”
Leng Xiao’s tone was filled with mockery.
Gu Shimo knew the hatred in his heart. He took the initiative to say,” I’m also investigating the car accident 15 years ago. I don’t know why you’re so sure that my parents are the ones who killed your parents, but for Wanwan, I’ll find out the truth and give you an explanation.”
Chapter 110: I Won’t Believe Your Lies “Gu Shimo, I don’t know how you lied to Wanwan to make her trust you so much.”
Leng Xiao said coldly,” But I’m not Wanwan. I won’t believe your lies.””
“I don’t want you to believe me.”
Although Gu Shimo had come to thank him, he was still very grateful.
However, his pride and honor came from his bones. He would not fawn over Leng Xiao just because he came to thank him.
In fact, he had other intentions other than thanking him.
“I came to look for you because Wanwan treats you as family. I don’t want her to be stuck in the middle. Although that Yu Xin loves you very much, she also cares about Wanwan’s relationship with you. For Wanwan and your wife and children, I hope you won’t do anything that will cause Yu Xin to misunderstand and cause trouble for Wanwan.”
“Gu Shimo, who do you think you are? What right do you have to make me keep my distance from Wanwan? I’m also telling you, Wanwan is my family. I won’t deliberately alienate her because of anyone.”
Leng Xiao was suddenly annoyed.
Gu Shimo looked at his anger and the aura around him turned colder.” I’m doing this for your own good. I’m also sincerely grateful for how well you treated Wanwan previously. However, you are a man with a wife and children now. You should be responsible for your wife and children. I’ll take good care of Wanwan and Zixi.”
“Take good care of them, Gu Shimo. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Your mother and Bai Shanshan hate Wanwan to death. Since you said that Wanwan told you what happened five years ago, you should know that Wanwan’s encounter back then was caused by your mother and Bai Shanshan, right? One is your mother, and the other is your fiancee. Can you really protect them or get justice for her?”
A sharp glint flashed across Gu Shimo’s eyes.
Wanwan only said that it was Bai Shanshan who did it.
He didn’t say that his mother was involved.
But Leng Xiao did not seem to be lying.
His expression didn’t change much and his tone was cold and firm.” I said I’m responsible for Wanwan and Zixi. I naturally won’t avoid justice for her.””
Leng Xiao scoffed.
She said mockingly,” Alright, I’ll wait and see how you, President Gu, will put justice above family.”

In the hospital ward.
Yu Xin tugged at Ye Qingwan and asked,” Qingwan, tell me about your relationship with Gu Shimo. How far have you progressed?” Are you going to get married after he breaks up with Bai Shanshan? Are you two together every day now? Do you plan to have a second child?”
She was faced with a bunch of questions.
Ye Qingwan was a little embarrassed.
“Not as much as you think.”
“I don’t believe it. It’s obvious that Gu Shimo cares a lot about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have carried my baby last night. He definitely wants to have a second child with you.”
“Maybe.”
“Then give birth. You guys aren’t taking precautions, are you?”
Before Ye Qingwan could answer, Yu Xin thought of something and said,” Oh right, Xiao said you have some medicine to test. Qingwan, what medicine is it?” Did you bring it? If you do, I’ll get my aunt to help you with it.”
Because Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo were together, Yu Xin was less guarded against her.
When she mentioned Leng Xiao, she no longer sounded sarcastic.
Ye Qingwan hesitated for a second before she said softly,” Yes, I took the medicine from the Gu family. If it’s convenient for you, I’ll give it to you.” If it’s not convenient, I’ll find someone else.”
“What’s inconvenient about that?”
“You’re a key protected person now. A C-section is not a small pain. I’m afraid that if I trouble you, Leng Xiao will scold me when he comes back.”
Yu Xin obviously liked hearing this.
She said angrily,” I won’t. Xiao is very good to me now. Besides, I don’t need to do anything.”
Her phone rang and interrupted her.
Seeing that it was Leng Xiao, Yu Xin smiled and showed Ye Qingwan the phone screen.
She said,” It’s Ah Xiao. I’ll answer the call first. Qing Wan, wait a moment.””
