When the family arrived at the restaurant, the manager heard from the waiter that Gu Chen was here and came to receive them personally.
"Mr. Gu, you are here."
The manager smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu ordered the meal. I came over to see if there is anything else you need?"
Gu Chen glanced at the menu and said, "It's pretty good. Just listen to my wife."
"OK."
The manager collected the menu and asked, "Mr. Gu, your stomach feels better recently?"
"Um."
Gu Chen glanced at Weng Qiange subconsciously and responded vaguely.
"That's good, let them prepare."
Weng Qiange heard the clues about this conversation.
"What's going on?
What's wrong with your stomach?"
"No..." Gu Chen wanted to say it was okay.
But Weng Qiange didn't let him fool him, "Don't lie to me, tell the truth."
Gu Chen didn’t dare to hide it anymore, “A while ago, I was under a lot of pressure and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I ordered medicinal food from this store for a while.
It’s okay now.”
Stressed?
Weng Qiange frowned. It was hard for her to imagine that Gu Chen would still be under great pressure.
In my impression, he is always energetic, omnipotent, and handles all aspects of work and life.
So, was his pressure put on him by her?
My heart suddenly became soft.
"Give me the menu."
"Okay, Mrs. Gu."
The manager quickly handed it over.
Weng Qiange glanced at her, she said harshly, Gu Chen couldn't eat many of these dishes.
She glared at him dissatisfied and called to the manager, "Change the menu."
"OK."
Gu Chen listened to her ramble. Although he was stared at, it was the happiest moment he had had in these days.
"That's it."
As soon as the manager left, Weng Qiange solemnly said, "Don't do this in the future. Is there anything you can't say directly?
You are not Jason. Isn’t it enough for me to take care of him?
Just let me save my worries and stop causing trouble."
"Okay, remember.
I don’t dare anymore.”
Gu Chen grinned.
Weng Qiange stared at him fiercely, dumbfounded.
Jason couldn't understand what was wrong with the adults, so he tugged on Weng Qiange's sleeve nervously, "Auntie, did you and uncle quarrel?"
An adopted child is most afraid of quarrels with the adults at home. If there is a quarrel, he will think it is because of him.
Even if it wasn't for him, would they have separated after the quarrel?
If they were separated, he would be returned to the orphanage.
"No."
"No!"
The two adults spoke in unison.
Weng Qiange hugged the little guy distressedly, and Gu Chen touched his head.
"Don't worry, uncle will never quarrel with aunt. Men have to protect women. Jason will grow up well and protect aunt with uncle, okay?"
Jason huddled in Weng Qiange's arms and nodded seriously, "Yeah, okay."
On the way home, Jason leaned on Weng Qiange's lap and fell asleep.
Gu Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and whispered, "Should I tell Jason? He always thought he was adopted and was too careful."
Weng Qiange was naturally distressed, but she still shook her head, "Let's say goodbye for now. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while."
If he knew that he was abandoned by his parents, would he really not care at all and accept them calmly?
Gu was silent for a moment, "I'll listen to you."
That night, Weng Qiange received a call. It was an unfamiliar number, and it didn't look like it was from China.
"Hello?"
Weng Qiange was wiping her hair, while Gu Chen was busy in the study and was not there.
On the other end, there was a familiar voice, "Weng Qiange, please come out, I have something to give you."
