Ryan was only one year old when he was adopted by his first parents. Those parents were not very responsible people. How could normal parents give a one- or two-year-old child a carbonated drink like Coke? In order to prevent Ryan from crying, they would
They would always use cola and candies to coax him to calm down. They even left him at home alone when he was over one year old. Later, Ryan's cries alerted the neighbors, who called the police to save the child who had been hungry for two days.
His second set of parents decided to adopt a child because their son passed away.
Ryan became a substitute for their biological son. He was forced to learn drums and vocals, and even his brown hair was dyed black.
Because Ryan has never received warmth, he will always remember the trivial kindness they gave him.
The dean said that he had always wanted to be adopted, but his two failed adoption experiences also taught him how to choose a family that suits him.
"Sophie, when I grow up, I want to be a pilot. I want to fly freely in the sky. "I want to see what the world is like."
The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped his little body, and his furry hair was sprinkled with light golden color. Gu Nianxi looked at his blue eyes, and a flash crossed her mind. She rubbed Ryan's little brown head, and suddenly, deep in her heart
Spark an idea.
Just when she thought this idea was a bit ridiculous, Ryan next to her held her hand and asked her.
"Sophie, are you married? Do you have children?"
In his eyes, Gu Nianxi saw a trace of desire and expectation. She understood his thoughts, but she didn't say anything. She didn't dare to promise him anything before she was sure of the matter.
After that conversation, Ryan would sit on the long chair facing the courtyard door and wait for her, and Gu Nianxi would also bring him some small gifts. Ryan became closer to her.
"If I had a mother like you, I would be very happy."
When Ryan said this, the look on his face made Gu Nianxi worried. In fact, she had been thinking about this matter recently. Unfortunately, she was unmarried and not eligible for adoption.
"Ryan, you will definitely meet a good mother."
Gu Nianxi comforted him like this, but she couldn't bear it in her heart. When she had dinner with Su Yuheng in the evening, she was still thinking about adoption.
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Yuheng noticed something was wrong with Gu Nianxi and asked her.
Gu Nianxi has been preoccupied since she sat down. Half an hour passed and she didn't take a bite of food into her mouth.
"A Heng, I want to...adopt a child..."
Although Gu Nianxi spoke like a mosquito, she finally said it. Gu Nianxi knew that Su Yuheng would be frightened by what she said.
"How old is the child?"
Gu Nianxi was a little surprised. Su Yuheng was in a very calm mood and did not scold her or call her words ridiculous.
"Six years old."
"You recently volunteered at the orphanage. Did it bring out the latent maternal love in your body?" Su Yuheng joked with her with a smile, picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.
His sense of humor was inappropriate. Gu Nianxi rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head and started eating.
He could only imagine how she could have maternal love for a six-year-old child at such a young age!
"Is that the child named Ryan? Why did he arouse the urge to adopt him?" Su Yuheng looked at her seriously and waited quietly for her answer.
"Because...he..."
Gu Nianxi kept her words to herself. She didn't want him to know that she wanted to adopt Ryan because he looked so much like the eleven-year-old him.
"Why?"
"Actually, it's nothing."
"But you are unmarried now. If you want to adopt a 6-year-old boy, you are obviously not qualified unless you are married."
marry?
Who did she marry?
She can't just marry any man just to adopt a child.
"Forget it, I just said it casually."
They stopped talking about adoption and continued to talk about other things. After dinner, Su Yuheng sent Gu Nianxi back to the shared house. It was rare for him not to let her accompany him back to the villa.
"I'll have work later. I'll stay at the company at night. You can go back and get some rest early."
"good."
Watching Su Yuheng's car roar away, Gu Nianxi suddenly felt a little lost for some reason.
He has been very busy recently. In the past half month, he only had a quick meal with her today. During the two hours of meal time just now, he answered more than a dozen phone calls, almost all of which were dealing with work matters.
In fact, Gu Nianxi has long been accustomed to this pattern. He is like the dial and she is like the hour hand, always turning according to his time and life.
Su Yuheng is a career-oriented man. He doesn't have much time for romance, and he can't give women too many romantic surprises. Gu Nianxi knows this better than anyone. She never dares to ask for love between lovers from him, let alone expect it.
What could he give up for her?
Gu Nianxi's attitude towards him gradually changed. Her previous fear of him had turned into dependence on him. This was a terrible thing. She even thought about snatching him away from Zhao Ziti, but the only thing she had left was
The last bit of moral bottom line stopped her from thinking.
Su Yuheng and Zhao Ziti, it is impossible for them to separate just because they want to. Once their relationship breaks down, the company will also be in crisis. Their CP image can greatly promote the balance between employees at home and abroad.
As soon as Gu Nianxi entered the door, her cell phone rang. When she saw that the number was Su Yuheng, she thought he had something else to explain.
"What's wrong?"
"come out."
"Um?"
Su Yuheng's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by the roar of a sports car outside the door, and Gu Nianxi quickly turned around and ran out.
She excitedly ran to his car. Wasn't he already gone?
"Anything else?"
"Something is lost."
"Throwing something? What thing?"
"I'll tell you when I get in the car."
As soon as Gu Nianxi got into the car, Su Yuheng leaned forward and kissed her lips. This sudden kiss caught her off guard, and Gu Nianxi's heart jumped wildly.
He left her with a beautiful smile on his lips, "I left you behind."
A few minutes ago, Su Yuheng drove away. When he saw Gu Nianxi's lonely figure and the disappointed expression on her face through the rearview mirror, his heart softened. He still couldn't bear to see her pitiful appearance, so he turned the car around at the next intersection.
"Promise me you'll be a quiet kitten later."
"Um?"
Gu Nianxi didn't understand what he meant, and only after following him back to the office did she find out that he asked her to be quiet because he wanted to hold a video conference.
Su Yuheng sat at his desk and was seriously engaged in work. He frowned and flipped through the mountains of information, completely forgetting about Gu Nianxi.
Serious men are so charming.
Gu Nianxi saw Su Yuheng's power for the first time. He actually switched multiple languages to communicate with customers. His strong spirit completely overwhelmed the other party, leaving no room for the other party to refute.
"I disagree. If you are not sincere in cooperating with us, then there is no need to waste each other's time."
Su Yuheng firmly rejected the price offered by the other party. The entire video conference was like a virtual battlefield. He sat there calmly, making it impossible for anyone to guess his thoughts.
Although Gu Nianxi doesn't know anything about business, she still understands the saying that shopping malls are like battlefields. No one knows what the opponent's trump card is.
Gu Nianxi lay on her desk, looking at Su Yuheng's serious work, fascinated by it. She was so quiet that she didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing him.
An hour later, Gu Nianxi stood up and walked around quietly. She was playing with the ornaments on his display shelf, playing with the pens on his desk, and studying the fingerprint lock in his lounge.
Her figure appeared in every corner of the office. She thought Su Yuheng wouldn't care about her at all, but in fact, he was following her out of the corner of his eye. She thought she was careful not to make any noise, so it would not affect his video conference. In fact, several people online
I personally have already heard the movement around Su Yuheng.
Didi didi!
The code lock suddenly made a harsh alarm sound. Gu Nianxi was so frightened that she quickly covered the code lock. She looked back at Su Yuheng, but he didn't respond and was still talking to the person online.
"Uh... Boss, why did you call the police?" The subordinate cut off the private message to remind Su Yuheng.
"It's okay, the cat touched it, keep talking."
"cat?"
The subordinates were confused after hearing his words, but Zhao Ziti on the line guessed who made the untimely noise just now.
Su Yuheng actually brought her to the company!
Su Yuheng was always in a state of selflessness when he was working, but just now Gu Nianxi was wandering around in front of him, which still distracted him. He had to increase his concentration to focus on his work. Just now she was lying on the bed obediently.
He could clearly see the way she looked at him on the table. Only after trying it now did he realize that even if she didn't move, she would distract him.
Gu Nianxi finally got the combination lock, and with embarrassment under his gaze, she returned to the sofa and sat down safely.
After a while, Su Yuheng glanced at the sofa. Gu Nianxi was already lying there and fell asleep. He lowered his head and smiled. All this was seen by the person on the other side of the video.
Two hours later, a sudden sound interrupted his conversation with the customer.
"gavin? What happened?"
"It's okay, just wait a moment."
Just now, Gu Nianxi fell from the sofa to the ground. She sat on the ground and covered her head in a daze. When she saw Su Yuheng coming over, she thought the video conference was over.
"Finish--"
Seeing his index finger raised to his mouth, Gu Nianxi knew that he was still working.
Su Yuheng picked her up from the ground and placed her on the bed in the lounge. He rubbed the hair on her forehead and said, "Go to sleep."
Gu Nianxi turned over and fell asleep. Su Yuheng walked out of the lounge and returned to the computer.
At three o'clock in the morning, Gu Nianxi woke up and found that she was alone on the bed. She walked out of the lounge. Su Yuheng was still conducting a video conference. She quietly poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of him.
Su Yuheng took the water and took a sip. He raised his head to look at her and almost choked on the water. Gu Nianxi stood in front of him with her shirt collar open and her legs and feet bare.
Is she doing this out of integrity and not wanting him to work with peace of mind?
"Work with peace of mind, I will accompany you."
Gu Nianxi whispered, and then sat cross-legged on the sofa as if nothing had happened. She had the nerve to fall asleep while he was working so hard, so she decided to stay with him.
