Gu Yingqing froze.

From the time he reacted to the time he slowly moved his gaze down, the passage of time seemed to slow down.

The people around her disappeared, so did the voice, and all that was left in her ears was the sound of her rapid heartbeat and the occasional humming.

"Yan Yan ......" Gu Yingqing looked down at the child, raised the corners of his lips, and spoke abruptly.

Yan Yan rested his chin on her stomach and smiled with his little face up, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence! Are you happy to see me?"

"It's fun." Gu Yingqing laughed and wanted to reach out and touch his little face, but a voice in his heart said: Don't touch him, don't look at him, leave now.

But the eagerness in her heart that had not disappeared told her that she had a purpose in rushing back.

Confused for a moment, she decided to follow her instinctive reaction and hold the child's face.

Gu Yingqing glanced at the bodyguard behind him and asked softly, "Why are you here?" Why did you come downstairs alone?"

At the same time as these words were asked, Gu Yingqing was a little angry, how could such a young child be allowed to run around the hotel lobby alone?

What if something happens......

"I'll wait for my dad to come back, I'll be bored in the room, so I'll come down and go shopping." Cheng Zhiyan waved his hand very casually and grabbed her.

Gu Yingqing tightened his palms slightly stiffly, the indoor temperature was high, the children were wearing sweaters, stepping on small leather boots, their cheeks were red and fluttering, and their little hands were sweaty.

The bodyguard held a cashmere coat and a small coat for him.

In winter, it gets dark early, and at six or seven o'clock, it is already dark.

"Have you had dinner?" Gu Yingqing leaned over slightly.

Yan Yan shook his head and leaned against her.

"I'll take you to dinner first."

There are various restaurants in the hotel, and the bodyguard said that Cheng Yuesheng asked people to order Cantonese food in the VIP room on the fifth floor, so that the children could take the meal to eat.

"I was supposed to bring him down for dinner, but he had to come to the first floor himself, and said...... Walk around."

Cheng Zhiyan blinked and looked at Gu Yingqing, cautious as if he was afraid of saying the wrong thing: "I just want to see if there is anything else delicious."

Gu Yingqing went to the front desk and asked what restaurants were in the hotel.

Cheng Zhiyan was not as high as the countertop at the front desk, and the staff only heard a voice from under the countertop: "How is the restaurant on the 66th floor?" What are you eating? Is the night view pretty?"

The front desk stuck his head out, only to see a child.

The front desk was busy saying that the 66th floor is for Western food, and the 63rd floor is Chaoshan cuisine, and both restaurants can overlook the night view of the north city in an all-round way.

Cheng Zhiyan hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't eat Western food." Then I decided to eat Chaoshan cuisine on the 63rd floor.

After taking a seat by the window, Cheng Zhiyan did not sit opposite, but wanted to squeeze together with Gu Yingqing.

Gu Yingqing took care of Yan Yan, hugged him to the seat, and browsed the menu with him to order, but his soul was like a dream.

Gu Yingqing asked him how he came to Beicheng.

He replied, "It's my aunt who wants to come to see my aunt and grandfather, and I'll come to play with my father by the way."

"What about your aunt?"

"Auntie is looking for my aunt and grandfather first, let me wait for my father in the hotel by myself."

Gu Yingqing was a little strange, the adults of the Cheng family should not be so sloppy and let the children stay in the hotel alone.

Even if there are bodyguards, what if the bodyguards are negligent?

She didn't realize that she was thinking about the worst-case scenario.

Obviously, Cheng Zhiyan used to take the car by himself, going back and forth between Canaan Mengyuan and Xie's house alone.

Even at the beginning of the year, when this guy was not yet four years old, he ran away from home and came to look for her outside the community.

As the saying goes, the knife doesn't fall on you, and you never know the pain.

Human nature is like this, she didn't know that this was her son before, she was far less worried, and completely regarded herself as a temporary nanny, or...... Internship stepmother.

Gu Yingqing wiped his hands with a hot towel and carefully advised, "Then the next time you stay alone in the hotel, don't just go downstairs, okay?" When you're hungry, you call and order food."

The child is too well-behaved: "Okay, I know, next time."

To this day, when I think back to the time when my grandfather died, it is like a dream, so that after waking up from the dream, the process of getting along with the child during that time has become blurred.

Her impression of Cheng Zhiyan is still stuck in a summer night, when children wore a set of white short-sleeved shorts and skateboarded with their twins in the square.

At that time, the children were relatively tanned, not as tall as they are now, and their short hair was bumpy when they ran.

It's only winter, and Yanyan's complexion has turned a little whiter.

She didn't dare to look more, so that after suddenly taking a look with Yan Yan, she found that he had a scar on his cheek and a bruise on his forehead.

Gu Yingqing pointed at his face: "What's going on?"

"I fell in kindergarten," Yan Yan patted her hand, "Don't worry, it's a little thing."

Gu Yingqing remembered that when he was not so familiar with him at the beginning of the year, he heard that he was fighting with his classmates in the Zhao family, because his classmates said that he didn't have a mother.

Cheng Zhiyan didn't like to eat as usual, so he went to the dessert table to get some snacks and came back, took a bite, and began to play with the decorative flowers on the table, and while playing, he told Gu Yingqing that the painting he painted won the award, what happened in the kindergarten, and where he went to play with his father.

"Yanyan, shall we eat first?"

Children are not very spicy, but fortunately, the taste of Chaoshan cuisine is light, and the sauce in the dry-roasted yellow croaker is fragrant and rich, and the child barely eats a few bites of fish and meat, and eats a few bites of rice with the sauce.

If you don't eat, then eat some seafood, and you won't eat it? How many sips of soup do you want, just two sips?

Gu Yingqing had no choice but to stare at him.

Seeing this, Yan Yan asked her, "Can you feed her?" I've been on a long plane today, and I'm a little tired."

Gu Yingqingxin said just feed it, just eat it.

She had previous experience with children, and even if she was still flustered, at least muscle memory could tell her how to deal with this child.

She envied the appetite of the stars, and she didn't need anyone to worry about eating.

After the meal was finished, Gu Yingqing didn't know whether to send the child to the 48th floor, or take it to her room first, and Cheng Yuesheng's phone called her.

"Dinner?"

"I'm done." Her tone was calm and concise.

"I'll give you an address, and you can bring your son later."

"I don't have time to ......" Gu Yingqing subconsciously wanted to leave this task, but thinking that tomorrow was Sunday, she really had nothing to do, and her voice lacked confidence, so she couldn't help lowering herself.

He gave a simple reason: "I'm far away here, and I'll have to meet someone here tomorrow, so it's more troublesome to go back and forth."

Gu Yingqing wasn't sure how true his words were.

He said that he was in Beicheng on the weekend, and he originally said that he would have dinner together tonight, but why did he suddenly go to a place where he couldn't come back?

Yan Yan asked, "Is it Daddy?" He jumped up for his phone, "Daddy!"
