Delayed confession

Park Villa,

The lights in the dim room were turned on brightly, and the white crystal chandelier above illuminated every corner. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows had been drawn, blocking out all interference from the outside.

"Are you crazy? She's divorced and has a child. This is as hard to accept as if you have fallen in love with a man."

The man was wearing silk pajamas, with a slender figure, sitting leisurely on the edge of the bed.

After hearing the other party's words, he stood up and walked to the computer, put his phone on the table, poured himself a glass of red wine, and looked at the girl with a sweet smile on the computer screen, with the corners of his mouth raised unnaturally.

"What's wrong with having a child? What's wrong with having a boy? If I like someone, I must get him."

Gu Mochuan didn't notice that the door behind him was opened a little bit.

A bright-faced lady in luxurious clothes at the door withdrew her hand from opening the door and returned to her bedroom in a daze.

"Old Gu, something big has happened."

Gu Boyuan had just finished being scolded by his wife and was folding clothes in a proper manner when he suddenly heard a collision behind him. He turned around and saw Wen Jing sitting on the sofa with a pale face. He quickly stopped what he was doing and walked over.

"what happened?"

"I was wondering why he ignored me when I asked him to introduce me to someone. It turns out that the genders are mutually exclusive."

Gu Boyuan looked at his wife who was talking in a daze, his face full of confusion, "Didn't you go to give Mo Chuan some red grapes? Why did you bring them back unopened? Didn't he eat them? Or did you nag him and he quarreled with you again?"

“Maybe we are heading in the wrong direction.”

Gu Boyuan asked as he poured the water, "What direction?"

"Maybe he doesn't like women."

He stopped moving his hands and turned his head stiffly.

The inquiring expression seemed to be to see if his wife was joking again.

"He doesn't like women? What would a grown man like if he doesn't like women?"

"male."

Gu Boyuan patted her shoulder and consoled her, "Maybe you pushed him too hard, and he was trying to anger you on purpose."

Wen Jing shook her head. "He was on the phone with someone else, and I overheard it by accident."

"No way. I remember he had a relationship in high school. Doesn't he still have that doll or something in his room? It was given to him by a girl."

"Drink some water. Maybe you heard it wrong. I'll go ask later."

Wen Jing quickly grabbed Gu Boyuan's hand and said, "Don't, don't ask. Let's pretend we don't know. It seems like she has a child, and she probably hasn't gotten the child yet."

Publicity Office,

A beautiful woman with neat short hair put a stack of documents in front of Xu Weixi.

"Xu Weixi, type up this information. We'll need it for the meeting later."

Wang Lingling walked to the workstation with the daily nuts in her hand. Seeing Xu Weixi integrating the materials, she asked curiously,

"Isn't this Lu Yao's job?"

Xu Weixi raised his hand and turned the document in front of him over, and replied casually,

"Seeing that we are free?"

She had never seen this Lu Yao before. She had heard from others that Gu Zhongyuan's project was originally hers, but she took leave because of family matters and the project ended up in her hands.

I didn't expect to feel the other party's hostility as soon as we met.

"We have free time because we have finished all the work we are supposed to do." Wang Lingling said indignantly.

Xu Weixi thought about it and felt that the other party might just want to intimidate the newcomer. After all, she had just arrived and solved the problem that she had not solved, and the old comrade might lose face.

I wanted to explain the reason to Wang Lingling, but she seemed to be looking at them, so I just went along with her.

"It's not much anyway. I'll be done in a minute."

"Wait until we slap her on the beach." Wang Lingling chewed the nuts in her mouth angrily. "By the way, what are you going to eat for lunch today? I have a coupon for the steak house downstairs."

Seeing Wang Lingling taking out two vouchers like she was presenting a treasure, Xu Weixi said with regret, "My brother has his birthday today, let's do it next time."

"Then we'll eat tomorrow. This coupon doesn't expire until the 5th anyway."

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow's time to you." Xu Weixi compiled the typed information into a book and placed it on Lu Yao's desk.

-

"Where are my uncle and the others?" Yue Qing looked at the door and asked puzzledly.

"My dad won't rest, and my mom has to cook for Xu Zirui. Xu Zirui has classes in the afternoon, so he needs to rest at noon."

Xu Weixi handed over the gift in his hand and sat on a low stool to change his shoes.

"Aunt Taozi and the others didn't come?"

Xu Weixi looked at the empty restaurant and turned to look at Yueqing.

"I didn't come. I said I had something to do."

Yueqing put the gift on the coffee table next to him.

"Your eldest brother and his friends are eating on the underground floor. Go to Xuanxuan's room and call the two younger ones. We'll start eating."

……

The restaurant is spacious. The midday sun shines in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows and is filtered by the light-colored gauze, making it gentle and bright.

"By the way, Zirui will be in the third grade next year, right?"

"Ah."

"Have you decided which high school you want to apply to?"

The two of them chatted about family matters while eating.

"It should be Xiqiao No. 1 Middle School."

"There is a new policy this year. High school students need housing and household registration. Did you know that?"

"I'll go back and tell them."

Xu Weixi nodded and answered the phone.

"Ms. Xu, I'm the agent of Xingfu Wanjia. I have three houses that meet your requirements. I wonder when you have time to come and take a look."

Xu Weixi looked at the calendar and said,

"Saturday afternoon."

Yue Qing served her a bowl of soup and asked curiously, "Your company doesn't let people go after get off work."

Xu Weixi took the soup and shook her head, "No, I made an appointment with a real estate agent."

"You want to buy a house?"

"No, I was transferred to the head office, but the company is a bit far from home, so I want to rent a house."

Yue Qing paused, turned his head to look at the stairs, and asked cautiously,

“Is your company on Zhanbei Road?”

Xu Weixi nodded and put down his chopsticks.

"It's very close to Xuanxuan High School, right?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Two intersections."

Yue Qing seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "Then what house do you want to rent? I have already rented one for Xuanxuan in Hengyuan, you can just go and live there."

Xu Weixi refused without even thinking,

"My working hours are not stable, which may affect Xuanxuan..."

Yue Qing looked at his son who was eating non-stop with disdain, "You are affecting him, is his grade in that range affected?"

Shen Ruoxuan leaned back and said helplessly, "Mom, you can't attack your own son just to convince Aunt to live there."

"Go aside."

"You are so beautiful and live alone. What if you are targeted by bad guys?"

Yueqing sat next to her, holding her hand and trying to persuade her.

"Just think of it as helping sister-in-law to look after Xuanxuan."

"You also know that Xuanxuan listens to you, and your brother and I are quite busy."

"Don't worry about anything else. I'll ask Aunt Chen to go over there, and I'll also find a good tutor for Xuanxuan. Just help my sister-in-law keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't go out and fight."
