Marrying a wealthy family for the second time, being spoiled by a paranoid childhood sweetheart

Gu Chen held her hand tightly and said anxiously, "Jiang Ru, please listen to my explanation. I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I really have no other choice. That cooperation is a scam, and Song Song has no good intentions. I'm afraid you will be hurt."

Jiang Ru said angrily: "You can't lie to me in this way. You really scared me to death just now!"

Seeing that Jiang Ru was about to get angry, Gu Chen, after regaining his memory, cared more about Jiang Ru's emotions. He apologized sincerely, his voice full of guilt: "Jiang Ru, I know I was wrong. I just care about you too much and don't want you to be in danger. Will you forgive me?"

Jiang Ru turned her head away and ignored him, feeling a mixture of grievance and anger in her heart.

Just seeing his affectionate eyes, Jiang Ru was vaguely dazed. Before Gu Chen lost his memory, he looked at her so affectionately. For a moment, Jiang Ru couldn't help but feel a little dazed...

Gu Chen stayed beside Jiang Ru with an anxious look on his face.

Having just experienced an unexpected minor incident, Gu Chen's heart was hanging and he couldn't let it go.

"Jiang Ru, go get a physical check-up. I'm worried there might be something wrong with the baby in your belly." Gu Chen changed the subject, his voice full of concern and anxiety.

Jiang Ru shook her head slightly and said, "Gu Chen, I don't think anything is wrong. There's no need to be so nervous."

Gu Chen frowned and insisted: "No, we must go for a check-up, only then can we be assured."

At Gu Chen's insistence, Jiang Ru had to undergo a series of tests. While waiting for the test results, Gu Chen was restless and kept pacing in the corridor.

Finally, the doctor came out with the examination report and said with a smile: "Congratulations, there is nothing wrong with both the adult and the child."

Hearing this news, Gu Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but he was still worried and said to the doctor: "Doctor, do you really not need to be hospitalized for observation? I'm still worried about any potential problems."

The doctor confirmed again: "Really, no need. Just go back and get more rest and keep a good mood."

Despite what the doctor said, Gu Chen still hoped that Jiang Ru could be hospitalized, thinking that it would be safer.

"Jiang Ru, you'd better stay in the hospital for two days for observation. I'm really worried." Gu Chen held Jiang Ru's hand, his eyes full of worry.

Jiang Ru refused resolutely, "Gu Chen, I really don't want to be hospitalized. I don't feel comfortable staying in the hospital."

Gu Chen had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, it's okay not to be hospitalized, but you have to move back to my apartment with me so that I can take care of you and the baby in your belly more conveniently."

When Jiang Ru heard this, she immediately refused: "No, I can take care of myself at home."

Gu Chen's attitude was very firm. "Jiang Ru, don't be willful. This is not just your problem. There are also children. I will arrange everything and make sure you are comfortable."

Jiang Ru looked at Gu Chen, was silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask: "Gu Chen, have you recovered your memory?"

Gu Chen was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Ru to ask this out of the blue, but he quickly concealed his inner panic and said, "No, I just can't help but be attracted to you and want to take good care of you."

Jiang Ru's eyes widened, her face full of astonishment, obviously not believing Gu Chen's words, "Gu Chen, don't lie to me."

Gu Chen avoided Jiang Ru's gaze and said, "Really not, Jiang Ru, don't think too much."

Seeing that Gu Chen refused to admit it, Jiang Ru felt a little disappointed. "Okay, since you said so, but I don't want to go back to the apartment with you, don't force me."

Gu Chen looked at Jiang Ru's determined and stubborn eyes. She was very resolute in refusing to go back to the apartment with him. Gu Chen's anxious heart calmed down a little at this moment. He knew that he couldn't be too tough. After all, Jiang Ru had her own ideas and persistence.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly, "Jiang Ru, since you don't want to go back to the apartment with me, I won't force you. But you must promise me that you will be careful and cautious at home and take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly."

Jiang Ru nodded slightly and said softly, "I know, don't worry."

Gu Chen's eyes were filled with worry. He continued, "Pay attention to a balanced diet. Don't be picky about food. Eat more foods that are good for the baby. Rest on time and don't overwork yourself. When doing housework, don't try to force yourself to do heavy work. If you feel any discomfort, even the slightest change, go to the hospital immediately, or contact me immediately."

Jiang Ru looked at Gu Chen's worried look, and a touch of emotion welled up in her heart. She responded, "Okay, I'll remember it. I'll take good care of myself."

Gu Chen sighed softly, his tone filled with helplessness and concern. "Well, you must be careful. I'll call you often to check on you." He glanced at Jiang Ru anxiously a few times before turning and slowly leaving. However, every few steps, he couldn't help but look back, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he just pursed his lips and quickened his pace to leave.

Jiang Ru nodded, "I understand."

At the same time, the Gu family.

In order to get close to Gu Chen, Song Die tried every means to please Gu's mother.

She came to the Gu family with full expectations and carefully prepared gifts. She was wearing a well-cut light blue cheongsam, her hair was carefully tied up, and her makeup was delicate yet elegant.

As soon as she entered the door, Song Die smiled and called out affectionately, "Aunt Gu, I'm here to see you!" As she spoke, she handed over the beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand.

Mother Gu came out and when she saw Song Die like this, a relieved smile immediately appeared on her face. The more she saw Song Die, the more satisfied she was with her. She felt that she was worthy of being the daughter-in-law she had chosen.

Song Die hurriedly took Gu's mother's hand and walked into the living room together. After sitting down, she began to ask about her health: "Aunt Gu, how are you feeling recently? I've been thinking about you all the time." Then, she continued to share some interesting stories with Gu's mother, making her laugh continuously.

At lunchtime, Song Die took the initiative to help in the kitchen. Although her cooking skills were not superb, her positive attitude made Mother Gu very satisfied. After dinner, she rushed to wash the dishes and clear the table, running around without any complaints.

The more Gu's mother looked at Song Die, the more she liked her. She was even more determined to match Song Die with Gu Chen.

Song Die is not only sweet-talking and can make people happy, but also diligent, sensible, and well-educated.

So, Mother Gu took Song Die's hand and said affectionately, "Song Die, you are such a lovely child. If I could have you as my daughter-in-law, I would be very satisfied. I will take you to see Gu Chen today, how about it!"

After hearing this, Song Die was secretly delighted, but a hint of shyness appeared on her face. She said, "Aunt Gu, I am so happy to have your approval."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself." Mother Gu said earnestly.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen was sitting in his office, concentrating on discussing an important project plan with his subordinates when his cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the tense atmosphere. He frowned slightly, motioned his subordinates to pause, and picked up the phone. It was Gu's mother calling.

"Hello, Mom." There was a hint of fatigue in Gu Chen's voice.

"Gu Chen, please come back quickly. There is something important." Gu's mother's voice came from the receiver, with an urgency that could not be refused.

Gu Chen frowned slightly and said, "Mom, I'm too busy with work here and can't leave. If you have anything to say, please tell me on the phone."

Mother Gu was unyielding: "No, you must come back and resolve this matter in person. It's not clear over the phone."

Gu Chen sighed helplessly and explained, "Mom, I really can't get away. There's a big project at the company that has reached a critical stage, and I have to keep an eye on it."
