Ye Ling didn't open her mouth. She said her first words since she woke up, "Is my brother...dead?"
She asked if her brother was dead?
Gu Yejin lowered her handsome eyes, her whole body shimmering in darkness, "No one was found at the scene, but there were a lot of blood stains. Through the DNA comparison of the blood stains, we can confirm that it is... your brother."
oh.
She knew that her brother was dead.
"Ling Ling, I will continue to search for your brother's whereabouts. You eat something first. Even if you don't eat, the baby will eat. The baby is so strong and never gives up on himself even in desperate situations, so you won't either.
You’re giving up the baby, right?”
Ye Ling's face was very pale, and the small veins under her skin were vaguely visible. She was always quiet, and she opened her mouth quietly and ate the millet porridge fed by Gu Yejin.
After eating less than half a bowl of millet porridge, Ye Ling shook her head and said, "I'm full and don't want to eat."
Gu Yejin took a tissue and wiped the corners of her lips, "Okay, then you lie down and rest for a while."
"Did my brother send me anything before he left?" Ye Ling suddenly asked.
Wen Lan said that her brother had a confidential document of the Gu family in his hand.
Gu Yejin had been in the hospital these days and didn't know about these things, but since Ye Ling asked him, he took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll call and ask."
The call was dialed to the villa, and the maid inside answered, "Sir, there is no express delivery for my wife, but today we received an express delivery, which is addressed to you, sir."
My brother's express delivery was not sent to Ye Ling, but to Gu Yejin.
Gu Yejin glanced at Ye Ling and said, "Send the courier over now."
"Yes, sir."
Soon the maid came over and delivered the courier, "Sir, this is what you want."
Gu Yejin opened the express delivery and took out the contents.
Inside is a sealed file bag and a note with the characters Xiaocheng flying and phoenix dancing on it.
"What did my brother write?" Ye Ling's eyes fell on the note.
Gu Yejin lowered her beautiful eyelids and looked at the line of words, then reached out and handed the note to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling took it and looked down, only to see the note saying - Ye Gu's grudges have been cleared, and the Ye family will give you a share of the dowry in exchange for your lifelong love for Ling Ling.
Ye Ling read this line of words back and forth several times, reluctant to let go, and quickly clicked, clicked, clicked, and the tears in her eyes fell on the note in her hand, slowly blurring her vision.
Wen Lan was right. Her brother held a confidential document of the Gu family. However, this confidential document was not sent to her or exposed to the world. Instead, it was sent to Gu Yejin, in the sealed file bag.
.
The elder brother gave a share of confidential documents as a dowry, and promised that the daughter of the Ye family would be the wife of the Gu family, in exchange for her lifelong favor.
Ye Ling grabbed the note tightly, then she curled up her knees and buried her tear-stained face in her knees. At this moment, her smooth shoulders were shaking and she cried bitterly.
Gu Yejin stood in front of the hospital bed. He looked at Ye Ling at this moment and wanted to step forward and hug her gently, whispering comfort, but he couldn't move.
He knew that the distance of these few steps had become a gap between him and her, which he might not be able to cross for the rest of his life.
...
Ye Ling followed Gu Yejin back to the villa. Gu Yejin reduced a lot of work and began to accompany Ye Ling and her baby full-time.
Ye Ling mainly stayed in bed to recuperate. Gu Yejin bought a lot of books, such as chef training manuals, 365 days to become a chef, Chinese food, caring for your wife's taste buds... These books were all available, and he started cooking by himself.
The maid came in and said, "Madam, you can go downstairs to eat. Proper exercise is necessary for pregnant women. Your husband has been busy in the kitchen for a long time today, preparing dinner for you."
The maid was full of envy. After all, it was rare for a man with such a powerful position like Gu Yejin to cook for his wife. A rare animal could even be called a national treasure.
