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

Chapter 233

All morning, Gu Jinhuai didn't leave the study. I passed by the study door many times, wanting to take the child out, but every time I passed by, I could hear Gu Jinhuai gently coaxing the child.

Every now and then I could hear the little girl's giggles, and that sound seemed to heal my heart.

Finally, just as I finished feeding Momo, I heard crying coming from afar. Then, Gu Jinhuai came in carrying Nuannuan with a helpless expression, his voice low, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Um, the child is crying."

Su Qi rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "The child knows to look for his mother when he cries. How do you, as a father, comfort a child who is crying all of a sudden?"

Gu Jinhuai listened to Su Qi's words without even glancing at her. His dark, deep eyes turned to me, and his voice softened involuntarily: "What should we do?"

"They're probably hungry."

I took the child and watched her cry. My first instinct was to feed her, but I found Gu Jinhuai still standing there, staring blankly.

"I need to breastfeed, can you leave?"

I suppressed my temper and looked at the man in front of me.

Gu Jinhuai seemed unaware until I spoke up. His expression became somewhat embarrassed, his eyes glanced at me for a moment before quickly looking away, his ears involuntarily turning red, and even his tone of voice became a little stiff.

"Then, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he strode out. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Qi still standing to the side. He was displeased, but there was nothing he could do.

He subconsciously wanted Gu Zi to come and keep him company, but during this time, she had been staying at the old house with Madam Gu.

After what happened last time, she became even more insane.

Su Qi stayed for three days, and it was time for her to ask for leave. I saw that she still wanted to ask for leave, so I stopped her.

“You’ll be in Lincheng for four months, then you’ll graduate. You can come back and find me then, and by then your two little ones will be all grown up.”

"I'm so reluctant to leave you all, Zhizhi. You have to take pictures of the little babies for me every day, so that I can witness their growth."

Su Qi reluctantly took my arm and pouted as she spoke.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll video call you whenever I have time."

Gu Jinhuai, standing at the door, watched the two dawdling for a long time, a hint of displeasure flashing across his brow, but more so envy.

Su Qi noticed Gu Jinhuai's resentful gaze, snorted coldly, picked up her suitcase and walked out. "I'm not feeling well, so I can only trouble Uncle Zhong to help take Su Qi to the station."

I watched Su Qi leave, and after noticing Gu Jinhuai's gaze, I only glanced at him briefly before returning to my bedroom.

Gu Jinhuai looked at the closed bedroom door, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Please wait a moment."

Outside, Su Qi was about to get into the car when she heard Gu Jinhuai's voice behind her.

"what?"

Su Qi gets angry whenever she sees Gu Jinhuai. If it weren't for him, Zhizhi wouldn't be so busy, and she should have a better life.

Gu Jinhuai looked at the people who were hostile to him. Although he didn't like them, Zhizhi liked them, and he couldn't make Zhizhi angry.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I would like to ask you for a favor."

Gu Jinhuai hesitated for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

"And when Young Master Gu asked for a favor, he made it clear beforehand that I would not do anything like murder or arson."

Su Qi paused for a few seconds, then, as if remembering something, added, "If you want to deal with Zhizhi, it's even more impossible."

"No."

Seeing Su Qi's protective look, Gu Jinhuai directly denied it.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Su Qi asked.

“I want to pursue her again. As her friend, you probably don’t want her to raise two children alone. It would be too hard for her.”

Hearing Gu Jinhuai's words, Su Qi hesitated for a few seconds, her tone filled with displeasure: "You know that's good. Zhizhi has become like this all because of you. In order not to fail her courses, she takes care of the child during the day and studies at night. This can't go on for a long time."

Su Qi thought to herself that she had to leave too. Zhizhi couldn't be left alone. Although Gu Jinhuai was annoying, after observing him for the past few days, his gentleness and patience towards the child didn't seem fake. He should be a good father. Besides, even tigers don't eat their cubs, so no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't hurt his own child.

“If you feel guilty, then help her share more of the burden. You had fun when you were having fun, but now you have a child. With me here, you can’t just walk away.”

Gu Jinhuai listened to her words, his lips twitching slightly, thinking to himself: What kind of friends does she have?

"Don't blame me for being blunt, but the child is Zhizhi's source of confidence. She definitely wouldn't feel comfortable leaving the child with a maid. She likes to do everything herself, and right now, the only person she can trust is you."

"Don't let her down."

Su Qi gave him a deep look, then turned to get into the car.

Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai behind him spoke up: "I don't like owing favors to others."

"I'll be so grateful if you can treat Zhizhi well."

Su Qi rolled her eyes at him.

"Shen Ji'an should meet with you in less than two years."

Suddenly, upon hearing Gu Jinhuai utter those three words, Su Qi froze for a moment, her eyes flashing with surprise, and her tone tinged with urgency: "What do you mean? You know Shen Ji'an? Where is he now?"

“He’s my business partner, but I won’t reveal his location. He’s a man of his word, and I hope you won’t let him down.”

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs, leaving Su Qi standing there dumbfounded for a long time.

Finally, a cool breeze extinguished her wild thoughts, and she instinctively shivered, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Shen Ji'an, although I don't know where you are now, I believe that we will meet again in three years. I look forward to that day."

Su Qi murmured, her left hand stroking the woven bracelet on her right wrist, a gift from Shen Jiyue.

"Shen Ji'an, I'm waiting for you."

After Su Qi finished speaking, she felt a sense of lightness throughout her body, and a ray of sunlight fell on her face, bright and blazing, just like her love for Shen Ji'an.

Soon, they arrived at the station. Su Qi waved goodbye to Uncle Zhong and then walked towards the station with her suitcase.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she felt a familiar gaze watching her from behind. Her heart pounded, and she turned around abruptly, only to find no one she recognized in the crowd.

For a moment, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. She looked around anxiously, but found nothing.

"Is it just my imagination again?"

Su Qi took a few steps forward unwillingly, then quickly turned around, but there was no one behind her.

Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, she shouted into the crowd, "Shen Jiyue, I will always wait for you."

People around Su Qi were startled by her sudden action. Some didn't understand and thought she was crazy, but Su Qi ignored the stares of those around her, glanced at the crowd, pulled her suitcase, turned around and got into the car. This time, she didn't look back.

So no one noticed that Shen Ji'an walked out from behind the pillar in the corner, his deep eyes staring directly at the little girl who got into the car, his eyes full of love that he couldn't hide.

"Xiaoqi, wait for me to marry you."

This was Shen Ji'an's promise to her.
