In the kitchen, Gu Shi'an was making breakfast, as he usually did for many mornings.

Chen Xiao walked over, took the spoon in her hand to stir the porridge, and said, "I'll come." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, touched his nose, and let go of the side.

She has almost done everything she needs to do, and the porridge will be ready soon. She said, "Go wash up, and you'll be fine in no time." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and took out the bowls, chopsticks, porridge, and steamed buns. Let Gu Shi'an eat first, and then go to the bathroom to wash. He didn't come back long after, and gave Gu Shi'an another glass of milk and put it in front of her, and then said, "I'll let my aunt come over later, don't cook in the future, the floor over there is slippery." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't dare to look at him, lowered his head and mumbled vaguely.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke for the rest of the day. After breakfast was finished and the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, Chen Xiao said, "I'm going out later, I'll bring you back whatever you want to eat." ”

His tone was low and calm. But compared to usual, it's a little worse or something. No, it should be unfamiliar. It was as if something was going on between the two.

Gu Shi'an raised his head and looked at him, hesitated, and said cautiously: "I'm bored at home, can I go with you?" ”

Chen Xiao probably didn't expect her to make such a request, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Gu Shi'an then said: "I promise, I will not disturb you." ”

Her eyes were dark, looking at him pitifully. After looking at him for a moment, he looked down at his stomach again.

How could she hide Chen Xiao from her little caution, he looked away. said: "Change into thicker clothes, and don't catch a cold when you go out." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the entrance first.

Gu Shi'an jumped up all of a sudden, and hurriedly responded with a hello. I trotted to the bedroom to change my clothes.

Although Chen Xiao walked to the front, he stopped at the stairs. Wait for her to go downstairs together. His figure was slender and straight, leaving a shallow shadow in the corridor.

The two of them went downstairs one after the other and arrived downstairs. Chen Xiao didn't go out to take a taxi like when he was alone, he took the key in Gu Shi'an's hand and opened the car door for her.

After he came out of Chen's family, Gu Shi'an didn't even know where he was, as if she was afraid that he would change his mind, she didn't ask anything, and honestly sat in the passenger seat.

The car quickly drove out of the community, Chen Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time, glanced sideways at Gu Shi'an, and asked, "I'm bored over there, what do you want to eat?" ”

As he spoke, he also followed Gu Shi'an's example and looked at her stomach.

Gu Shi'an didn't eat much breakfast, she didn't like to drink milk, and that glass of milk was barely drunk.

She naturally knew what Chen Xiao meant, reached out and touched her nose, and said, "You can eat anything." She was a little weak-hearted, sighed, and said, "Buy some fruit." ”

Chen Xiao nodded and simply responded.

Snowy weather is the easiest to get stuck in traffic, Chen Xiao drove to the city side, and asked Shi An to get out of the car and buy her some fruits, fresh bread and cakes, probably because he was afraid that she would be hungry.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that the place he was going to was the city, but it was not. He went around to the city just to buy her fruit. After shopping, he drove the car all the way to the outskirts of the city.

Gu Shi'an didn't ask him where he went, and he didn't say. Until the car stopped in front of a small dilapidated building. He pulled out the car keys, said a word to Gu Shi'an to get out of the car, and then opened the car door and got out of the car.

went to the city side, and the two arrived a little late. When I arrived at the door, I met Assistant Sun who came out. Seeing Gu Shi'an, he was slightly stunned, then politely called Miss Gu, and then whispered something to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao nodded and said that he understood.

Assistant Sun added, "They are already waiting for you. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Shi'an and said politely: "Miss Gu, Mr. Chen has some things to deal with, I'll take you to his office first." ”

Gu Shi'an responded with a good sentence now. After saying a word to Chen Xiao, I will go over first, and then follow Assistant Sun and go inside.

The office was not big, and there was no one in it except for a boy with glasses. Deserted.

Assistant Sun took Gu Shi'an to the innermost room, opened the door, and said, "You take a rest here first, Mr. Chen should not come back for a while." ”

This is the old house, which is damp and cold. The room wasn't empty, just a square stove. As he spoke, he stepped forward and turned on the electric stove.

The fruit in Chen Xiao's hand had already been handed over to him, so he put it on the low table on the side and said to Gu Shi'an: "The right side is the bathroom." I'm right outside, what do you need to call me again. ”

Gu Shi'an was already weak-hearted, waved his hand again and again, and said, "I don't need anything." ”

Assistant Sun nodded, closed the door and went out.

The office was shabby, with only a rudimentary desk and a sofa that looked a little old. Chen Xiao smoked a little too much. There was some smoke in the house. No one cleaned up, and there was a pile of cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray on the low table.

Gu Shi'an's heart was full of mixed feelings, he looked at it in a daze for a moment, and then cleaned up the messy sofa and low table one by one.

Chen Xiao didn't know where he went, he didn't come back for a long time, Gu Shi'an couldn't sit still, and walked out after cleaning up.

The bespectacled boy outside was gone, and Assistant Sun was the only one outside. He didn't know who he was talking to.

Gu Shi'an waited for him to finish the call, and then walked over. "Idle...... It's boring, is there anything I can do? ”

Assistant Sun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "There's nothing to do here." ”

But no, there's not even decent desk equipment here, so what else is there to do?

Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy. Assistant Sun said again: "It's cold outside, you can go in." Mr. Chen should be back soon. ”

He said as he raised his wrist to look at the time.

Gu Shi'an nodded, but did not go inside. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "What are you Mr. Chen doing now?" ”

There's nothing here, and I can't see what Chen Xiao is doing at all.

Assistant Sun smiled faintly and said, "Take over a little business." Always keep going. After he finished speaking, he said seriously: "Don't worry about these things. Go inside, don't catch a cold. ”

Gu Shi'an still stood still, and said, "I met Chen Xun a few days ago. Penalty...... Now ......"

As Chen Xun is, the liquidated damages are obviously not a small amount. She'd been worried about it.

Assistant Sun didn't hide it from her, and said, "Mr. Chen is thinking of a way. ”

He said that and refused to say any more. Gu Shi'an had to go back to the office.

Compared to the outside, there is a stove in the office. Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to do, so he had to sit in a daze.

Chen Xiao only came back at noon, and he was cold. Gu Shi'an got up to pour him a cup of hot water, but he didn't let him, saying that he would come by himself.

At noon, Assistant Sun ordered takeout outside, and in cold weather, he ordered a small hot pot, and the store also delivered fresh meat and vegetables. I don't know where I got it.

At lunchtime, the boy I saw in the morning was still not there, and only the three of them ate together.

I don't know if it's because the house is too warm or because I'm full, Gu Shi'an actually dozed off while sitting. Chen Xiao should have spent the night here occasionally, so he took out a blanket and asked her to lie down on the sofa for a while.

The house is warm, but I'm not afraid of catching a cold.

She reflexively said no.

Chen Xiao didn't speak, just looked at her stomach. She obediently lay down on the couch now.

She thought she couldn't sleep, but somehow, she fell asleep not long after lying down.

When I woke up, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Chen Xiao sitting behind the desk. She sat up and slowed down for a while, Chen Xiao had already turned off the computer, took her coat and walked over, and said, "Let's go when you wake up." ”

Gu Shi'an was a little dumbfounded, looked at him, and said, "Off work?" ”

Chen Xiao handed her the coat and said lightly: "How many things do you think can be done now." ”

Gu Shi'an stopped saying a word, got up and put on his coat.

It was empty outside, and there was no assistant Sun in sight. He must have left early. Chen Xiao probably waited for her to wake up, so he didn't leave.

The road was gloomy, and Chen Xiao didn't speak. When he arrived in the city, Chen Xiao, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Did the doctor say when the next prenatal examination will be?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask about this, and his fingers clenched unconsciously. said vaguely: "It seems to say that it will be three months later." ”

She was so weak that she didn't ask about it that day.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao didn't ask the bottom line, but just nodded.

There wasn't much food at home, so Chen Xiao drove the car directly to the parking lot of the supermarket, and then took Gu Shi'an to purchase.

In the past, he rarely cared about these things, but now he is very attentive. Whether it's vegetables or something else, compare them carefully a few times before putting them in your shopping cart.

Gu Shi'an followed behind him honestly, barely speaking.

At the checkout, Gu Shi'an preemptively settled the bill on the pretext that he had a membership card, and he didn't speak, but let it aside.

Chen Xiao will only make his own opinions about what he does, and when the two went back, the former aunt was already waiting at the door, and when she saw the two of them, she smiled and politely called Mr. Mrs.

Chen Xiao nodded, took out the key, opened the door and entered the house.

With an aunt here, naturally don't want Gu Shi'an to do anything. Chen Xiao washed the fruit for her, and she ate the fruit and watched TV in the living room. And Chen Xiao followed his aunt in the kitchen. Ask your aunt for advice.

From time to time, there was a low voice in the kitchen, and Gu Shi'an looked at it and felt a little trance.

Chen Xiao learned from his aunt not only how to cook, but also carefully wrote down some recipes and tips for making soup. I plan to make more soup in the future.

I still went to bed early at night, and the next morning just after breakfast, Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang.

I don't know if it's Assistant Sun or who it is on the other side of the phone, and he has been talking for a long time. Chen Xiao couldn't see anything on his face, hung up the phone, and then said to Gu Shi'an: "Pack up your things and go to live in the old mansion for a few days, I'm going to go to other places, and I'll pick you up when I come back." ”

As if knowing that Gu Shi'an didn't want to go, he then said, "I'm not at ease if you're alone here." ”

Gu Shi'an swallowed everything he wanted to say at this time and obediently packed his things.

Chen Xiao stood in the living room and made a phone call, which went to help Gu Shi'an pack his things.

It's only been a few days, and I don't have much to bring with me. It's just a change of clothes.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to mention his pregnancy, but he didn't mention it. It's just that Gu Shi'an will stay here for a few days.

Qi Shiyun has never asked about this kind of thing, and Ye Qing is happy that the two are reconciled. Where will I ask so much, and I will say again and again that it is good to come back and live. The room was empty anyway.

Chen Xiao sent Gu Shi'an over at noon and left, Qi Shiyun's eyes showed some worry, but he still didn't ask anything.

She didn't talk much before, and even less after committing suicide now. It can be said that it is reticent. After staying in the living room for a long time, I went back upstairs to rest.

Ye Qing was happy that Gu Shi'an was back. But Qi Shiyun's transformation was worried, and he sighed lowly and said, "If the old lady is here, she will definitely not want to see her like this." ”

The old lady has always been kind, compared to the current Qi Shiyun. She must have preferred to see her before.

Gu Shi'an looked upstairs and asked Qi Shiyun about her current physical condition and time to rest.

Qi Shiyun and Ye Qing also communicated less. Most of them are due to shame. She was resolute when she walked this way, and she took almost everything she should have brought with her. I didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before I would come back in such a way.

She spends most of her time in her own room, and Ye Qing knows about her physical condition from the doctor. said in a low voice: "When the doctor came over yesterday, he said that if he can persuade her, it is best to take her to see a psychiatrist." ”

Qi Shiyun's current situation is not quite right, naturally she can't let it develop like that.

But Gu Shi'an knows that she has always disliked herself. If she brought it up herself, she would be disgusted. I can only wait for Chen Xiao to come back.

In the afternoon, Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing were cooking in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.

Since the old lady died, almost no one from the old mansion has come over. Ye Qing looked up at Gu Shi'an, put down the things in his hand, and said, "I'll go see who it is." ”

As she spoke, she walked outside.

She didn't come back right away, Gu Shi'an was not at ease, and went out immediately.

As soon as I got out of the kitchen, I saw Chen Zhengkang walk in. Ye Qing followed behind him, wanting to speak and stopping.

Chen Zhengkang's face was expressionless, and when he looked around, he frowned when he saw Gu Shi'an coming out of the kitchen. Go straight to the couch and sit down.

In any case, he is an elder. Gu Shi'an poured him a cup of tea at this time.

Chen Zhengkang was not polite, and took the tea and drank it. Then he asked, "I heard that your mother-in-law is not in good health?" ”

I don't know where he heard about it.

He barely came, and he didn't know what he was trying to do this time.

Gu Shi'an replied at this time: "It's much better." ”

Chen Zhengkang took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it, but did not speak. After a while, he said, "You go and do your business, I'll sit here." ”

He came here on purpose, of course it won't be fine. It was rare for him to have such a peaceful time, Gu Shi'an nodded and went to the kitchen.

Ye Qing was nervous when she saw Chen Zhengkang coming, and as soon as Gu Shi'an entered the kitchen, she pulled her aside and asked, "What does he want to do here?" ”

Chen Zhengkang came over, she couldn't stop him. I had to let her in.

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said in a low voice, "He didn't say it." It doesn't look like I'm here to find fault. ”

He has always been a person who doesn't know how to foreshadow, if he really came here to find fault, I'm afraid he would make trouble when he came in. I just don't know what he's here for.

He kidnapped Qi Shiyun, he should have known that he was not welcome here. I don't know how he came over.

Ye Qing has seen all the moths that Chen Zhengkang has produced over the years, she shook her head and said, "Not necessarily." The mother and son are both powerful characters. ”

The old lady had long seen that Chen Zhengkang was just a marionette in the hands of the mother and son, so she never let the mother and son enter the old house.

The only person Chen Zhengkang is afraid of is Chen Xiao, and now Chen Xiao is on a business trip. Ye Qing was worried.

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth." He wouldn't dare to do anything. ”

Ye Qing made some snacks, and Gu Shi'an took some out and prepared to serve them out. He said to Ye Qing again: "You go upstairs, don't let your mother-in-law come down for the time being." ”

If the two meet, I don't know what will happen. Ye Qing nodded and went upstairs quietly.

Gu Shi'an put the snack in front of Chen Zhengkang, and Chen Zhengkang was slightly stunned. He quickly came back to his senses and asked, "When will Chen Xiao come?" ”

When he asked this, he obviously came to find Chen Xiao on purpose. This was something Gu Shi'an didn't expect.

She didn't hide it from him, saying, "He's on a business trip, and it should take a few days to come back." ”

Chen Zhengkang stopped talking now, just smoked a cigarette.

Gu Shi'an had never seen him like this, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Is there something wrong with you coming over?" ”

Chen Zhengkang didn't answer immediately, and said after a while: "No." It's been a long time since I've been here, so come and sit down. ”

His expression was a little dazed, and he looked up and looked around after speaking. It was as if the place where he had been for decades was unfamiliar.

He quickly came to his senses, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving." Chen Xiao...... If I come back, ask him to call me. ”

He didn't stop after speaking, and left directly.

It's obviously a little inexplicable that he's doing this. As soon as he left, Ye Qing immediately came down and asked, "What did he say?" ”

If Chen Zhengkang doesn't make a scene, this is obviously wrong.

Gu Shi'an shook his head and replied that he didn't say anything.

Chen Zhengkang's behavior made her heart a little uneasy, and she took out her mobile phone to call Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao didn't know if he hadn't gotten off the plane or what, the phone was turned off.

She put her phone aside.

And Chen Zhengkang, who went out, did not leave immediately. I sat in the car for a long time until it got dark. Then he looked at the old mansion and drove away.

Chen Xiao called at about eight o'clock in the evening, and Gu Shi'an had just washed up at that time. Picked up the phone and said hello, Chen Xiao said it was me over there.

The two were rusty when they were together, and they obviously had nothing to say at this time. Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Gu Shi'an replied no.

Chen Xiao said again: "I went here to deal with some things, and I just returned to the hotel." ”

That's why Smash explained why he was only calling now.

Gu Shi'an nodded, he had enough things to do outside. She didn't know whether to talk about Chen Zhengkang's visit today.

But her intuition told her that Chen Zhengkang came over today, and something must have happened. He and Chen Xiao have always been at odds, and if something hadn't happened, he wouldn't have been able to come to find Chen Xiao.

She hesitated slightly, but still told Chen Zhengkang about coming over.

Chen Xiao didn't speak on the other end of the phone, and only said after a while that he knew.

Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Chen Xiao paused on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Assistant Sun didn't come with me. Call him directly if there's anything going on. He will take care of it. ”

Gu Shi'an nodded in agreement.

Chen Xiao had nothing to say on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone after letting Gu Shi'an go to bed early after a while.

Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep for a while, lying on the bed without moving. I was about to close my eyes and go to sleep when there was a sudden knock on the door of my room.

She quickly got up and opened the door. It was not Ye Qing who was standing outside, but Qi Shiyun.

Her face was pale, and when she saw Gu Shi'an, she directly asked, "What did Chen Zhengkang come over to tell you today?" ”

She is like this, obviously just knowing that Chen Zhengkang has come.

Gu Shi'an was stunned and said, "I didn't say anything." He should have come to find Chen Xiao and asked Chen Xiao to come back and call him. ”

Qi Shiyun fell silent for a while, and after a while, she looked up at Gu Shi'an and said, "Is there anything else you can say besides this?" ”

Gu Shi'an said no now.

Qi Shiyun's brows furrowed, and she said, "He must have something." Moreover, it should be no small thing. She pondered for a while, raised her head and looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Change your clothes, and you and I will go over to find him immediately." He must have known something. ”

Before Gu Shi'an could react, she hurriedly turned around and went to change her clothes.
