After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 232

"Mr. Gu, since you're so curious, why don't you try it yourself?"

Shen Ji'an felt that the person in front of him was a bit strange. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he seemed to be a blank slate when it came to certain things, not understanding them at all.

But he didn't let his guard down because of this. How could someone who could make the Gu family the number one in Beijing's social circle be a simple person?

"There's a nice coffee shop nearby, quiet and discreet."

Gu Jinhuai suddenly changed the subject, but Shen Ji'an was quick-witted and nodded with a smile.

The two went to a coffee shop and chatted for almost an hour. In the end, they both came out with smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Gu, I look forward to cooperating with you. Rest assured, my technology is up to standard. In two years, I will definitely show you a different kind of intelligent AI."

"Okay, I'll wait for your research results."

Gu Jinhuai responded with a smile.

Completely unaware that paparazzi in the corner had adjusted their angles and were snapping photos like crazy.

When Gu Jinhuai returned home, he found that apart from the living room lights being on, everything else was quiet, with Uncle Lei lying on the sofa.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at him, but before he could speak, Uncle Lei woke up.

"Young Master is back. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go heat it up."

"No need, Uncle Lei, you've worked hard these past few days. You should go back to the old house and rest for a while."

Although Uncle Lei didn't understand what Gu Jinhuai was saying, he complied.

“Young Master, I’m not tired. Over the years, I’ve watched you grow up and become stronger. You’ve worked too hard.”

At the end, Uncle Lei raised his hand and wiped away his tears.

Seeing this, Gu Jinhuai's face remained expressionless, but his voice was chillingly cold: "Uncle Lei, this is what the heir of the Gu family should do."

After Uncle Lei left, Gu Jinhuai was about to go upstairs when he saw the bedroom door open and I walked out.

My eyes were a little tired, and I walked forward in a daze. Suddenly, without realizing it, I felt like I bumped into a wall of flesh. Instantly, I became much more awake.

She was startled when she saw the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, but the fear in her eyes disappeared when she realized that it was Gu Jinhuai.

I was just about to walk past him downstairs when the man took my hand, and then a warm palm gently rubbed my forehead: "Does it hurt?"

Hearing his concerned words, I was slightly taken aback, but quickly took a few steps back to avoid touching him as much as possible.

Seeing that I didn't answer, the man wasn't annoyed and continued, "Where are you going?"

"Drink water."

I had barely finished speaking when the man carried me downstairs.

I watched his fawning manner without saying a word. He put me on the sofa and got up to go to the kitchen to pour water.

"Hot water, lukewarm, is fine to drink."

Gu Jinhuai sat down next to me and handed me the water, his voice incredibly gentle.

I took the water he offered and drank it down.

Seeing that I didn't refuse, Gu Jinhuai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Before the smile could even form on my face, my cold words hit him: "Gu Jinhuai, you don't need to treat me like this. What happened before is what happens now. Our relationship won't change because of the child."

There was no love in my cold eyes, only a faint look as I gazed at him, devoid of any passionate affection.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry. I didn't know how to love someone. I was ignorant before and hurt you. Now, please give me another chance, okay? I really..."

Gu Jinhuai was speechless for a moment when he finished speaking. The damage had already been done, and it was too late to say anything. But he really didn't want to lose Zhizhi too.

He was afraid.

I coldly pushed his arm away, my tone indifferent: "Our relationship is fine as it is. The child hasn't grown up yet, I won't leave."

The last sentence reassured Gu Jinhuai.

I tried many methods this afternoon, but none of them worked. Having a child was my own choice. I don't know what Gu Jinhuai is thinking, and I don't want to ask.

I haven't graduated yet, and I don't have a stable job. My child can't suffer with me. Everything can only wait until my child grows up.

I must work hard to earn money and give my children the best life.

"Okay, then let's wait until the child is older. You promised me you wouldn't leave, right?"

At this moment, Gu Jinhuai was like a child, staring intently at me with his eyes, asking cautiously.

I didn't answer, I just gave him a look, and got up to go upstairs.

Gu Jinhuai sat on the sofa for a long time. He had just picked up a cigarette and was about to light it when he suddenly remembered something and threw the cigarette aside.

He sat on the sofa until midnight, while I couldn't sleep all night in the bedroom, finally falling asleep in the early hours of the morning.

Just then, the bedroom door was gently opened, and Su Qi's voice rang out in the hallway.

"what are you doing?"

Su Qi stared at Gu Jinhuai warily, as if guarding against a thief.

"Shut up."

Gu Jinhuai glanced coldly at Su Qi, his tone unfriendly.

Su Qi was startled by his cold gaze. While she was still in a daze, Gu Jinhuai pushed open the door and walked in, closing the door behind him.

By the time she realized what was happening, the man had already gone inside. Looking at the closed door, Su Qi wanted to kick it down, but she was worried about scaring the child, so she could only sulk and go downstairs.

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on the person sleeping on the bed, and then on the two children in the small bed on the other side.

He was fast asleep when, as if possessed, he went over, his expression softening, and kissed each of the babies on the forehead.

He got up and walked over to the person on the bed. Seeing that she was frowning and not sleeping very soundly, Gu Jinhuai reached out and gently stroked her furrowed brow with his fingertips.

"Zhizhi, good morning."

Gu Jinhuai murmured something in a low voice, afraid of waking the person.

Then, the man leaned down and lightly touched the corner of her mouth, almost touching it. As soon as he straightened up, I woke up, staring at him warily, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Jinhuai met my confused gaze and smiled, "It's nothing, good morning."

I stared at him suspiciously for several seconds, when suddenly, the child's cries interrupted my thoughts.

I threw off the covers and got out of bed. Both children burst into tears at the same time. I frowned, picked up the younger brother first, and looked at the crying older sister, feeling somewhat helpless.

Soon, Gu Jinhuai came over and picked up my sister. I glanced at him and made sure he was holding her properly before I felt relieved.

Looking at the soft little bundle of milk in his arms, Gu Jinhuai felt a touch to his heart and deliberately rubbed his chin against her soft, chubby face.

When I saw this, I quickly spoke up to stop her: "If you do that, your beard will prick her."

Sure enough, upon hearing my actions, Gu Jinhuai stopped. When he saw the red marks on his daughter's fair face, a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

"Can I carry her to the study? I can keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get hurt."

Gu Jinhuai's eyes were pleading, and I didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Silence will be taken as a yes."

Gu Jinhuai picked up his daughter and turned to leave: "Sweetie, Daddy will take you to visit the study."

As I listened to his words, my lips twitched slightly. I really wanted to say, "The baby's eyes aren't even open yet, how can you tell?"

"Momo, Mom hopes you and your sister grow up quickly."

I pressed my face against his forehead, looking very affectionate.
