Seeing that Lin Yuer came up safely, Aunt Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and kept trying to persuade her. She wanted to leave a way out for the young master, so that there would be a possibility for the two of them to get back together in the future. After all, they both have children.
, and there is no formal divorce, legally speaking they are still husband and wife. Aunt Hua would rather tear down ten temples than break up a marriage.
Lin Yue'er walked into the baby room. When she saw her daughter, all her tense emotions gradually calmed down. He caressed her increasingly plump little face. She smiled, raised her head, and said to Aunt Hua, "Aunt Hua,
There is no need to speak for him anymore, it is impossible for us."
Her indifferent tone and resolute attitude made Aunt Hua pause. She sighed and said repeatedly and with regret, "I watched the eldest young master grow up, and I know that he is actually not that kind of heartless person...
…”
Lin Yue'er didn't know whether he was a heartless person or not. Those things had nothing to do with her.
In the evening, after Gu Xicen left the company, he rushed to Qinghe Bay as soon as possible.
He came in with a big cardboard box, which contained a lot of baby toys, ranging from 0 to 3 years old. When Lin Yuer saw it, he couldn't help laughing after being surprised, "Why did you buy so many? Where can Mint play with it?"
ah?"
Gu Xicen put down her things and said, "I passed by a baby products store and bought some after seeing it."
With so many, how can we call it casual?
Lin Yuer smiled and said, "Second Young Master Gu, you will spoil Mint rotten."
"Daughters are meant to be pampered." Gu Xicen didn't take it seriously. After changing her shoes, she went into the house to look at the mint. She fell asleep again after eating.
Lin Yue'er followed and said with a smile, "The baby is very capable of sleeping at this time, but he is quite well-behaved."
He raised the corners of his lips, dimmed the lights considerately, and then gently left the room.
Seeing the sumptuous dinner on the table, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has Aunt Hua come?"
Lin Yuer lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "Aunt Hua was afraid that I would be hungry, so she left after making dinner." Then, she said with determination, "During this period, I will definitely learn how to cook with Aunt Hua.
Art! Only if Mint can grow up eating the food I cooked, then that is a responsible mommy!"
Seeing her confidence, Gu Xicen just smiled and said, "Having confidence is a good thing."
She looked back and glared at him, "Why don't you believe me?"
"Some things still require qualifications." He washed his hands and pulled her to sit down, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"Well, I knew you would come over and wanted to wait for you." She said casually, not noticing the corners of his mouth that continued to rise.
After adding some food, the two of them sat face to face, chatting while eating.
Although Gu Xicen didn't talk much and answered all questions, it could be seen that he was in a good mood, especially when he and she were sitting quietly eating together, and even his expression looked much more lively.
"Xicen, when do you think I can go to work?"
"Don't worry, let's wait until Mint grows up a bit."
"I still want to do something of my own. As you know, now that I'm raising a baby, I have to work hard to earn money for milk powder!"
Gu Xicen raised her head and took a deep look at her, "It's the same if I raise her."
Lin Yue'er's heart palpitated, and when her eyes met his, she found something strange in them, a little persistent, a little enthusiastic, and a little tender... In short, all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined, making it impossible for her to distinguish them clearly.
Looking away, she hesitated and said, "Xicen, let's talk."
Gu Xicen had just finished eating, so she picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, staring at her, waiting for her next words.
Lin Yuer lowered her head and spoke slowly and with difficulty, "Xicen, you are very good to me and Mint, and you have done a lot for us, even at the expense of offending your elder brother... I am really grateful. But...
…”
Gu Xicen's eyes were calm, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. There was no visible change, and he was just listening quietly.
Although, he knew very well what she wanted to express.
The quieter he is, the harder it is for Lin Yuer to speak, but if this kind of thing is not explained clearly, it can easily be misunderstood. She does not want to talk to him again before she and Gu Wangchuan have settled the matter.
Her younger brother is no longer involved. Not to mention the rumors, she herself would be very sad.
Firmly believing, she said vigorously, "Xicen, if you want to make up for me on behalf of your elder brother, then there is no need. He doesn't owe me anything anymore. We will go our separate ways and there will be no intersection in the future. So,
What you have done is enough. You also have to manage the company. Every day is very hard. You don’t need to spend so much time on us. I will take good care of myself and my daughter. And, nominally speaking, I am still you.
Sister-in-law, Mint is your niece. If some bad rumors spread, it will affect you. In any case, you haven't gotten married yet, so I have to be responsible for your future!"
After saying these words, Lin Yuer finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to observe Gu Xicen again. Seeing that he was not unhappy, she felt a little relieved.
"What are you worried about?" He suddenly said, his eyes locked on her tightly.
"Well, I'm not worried about anything. I just... I just don't want to implicate you. You are now the general manager of GL and have attracted much attention from the outside world. Moreover, you are still single. If there are bad rumors, it will be harmful to you.
Influenced.”
"Are you worried that I can't find a wife?"
"Not entirely..." Lin Yuer was questioned calmly by him, and the aggressive aura he exuded actually made her a little flustered. She didn't know how to say it in order to accurately convey her feelings.
"I understand." He said calmly, as if to help her out.
Lin Yuer looked at him and quickly asked, "What do you understand?"
He raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, then lowered his eyes slowly, and said unhurriedly, "No matter what I understand, I will do what you want."
Lin Yue'er was a little stunned. Suddenly, even she was confused. What did she want? What did she want him to do?
He cleared the table and washed the dishes before walking out of the kitchen. "I'm going back first. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, he put on his coat and walked to the door.
Looking at his background, Lin Yue'er opened her mouth, wanting to call him but didn't know what to say. This conversation made the originally comfortable relationship awkward, which she didn't expect.
She thought angrily, if she had known this, she might as well not have said it. What would Xi Cen think of her? Is she being sentimental?
Lin Yuer really regretted it.
Gu Xicen opened the door and walked out. He turned around and saw the remorse on her face. He smiled calmly and said, "The company will be very busy during this period, so I won't come over for the time being."
Lin Yuer responded dully and closed the door.
Hearing the footsteps receding in the corridor, she bit her lip, knowing that he must have heard what she said and wanted to avoid suspicion, so he said it deliberately.
