She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 306 Opening the Rift

Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu jumped out of bed almost simultaneously, as if they had been pardoned. They quickly separated and rushed to the nursery without prior arrangement.

"Chengze!" Su Maiqi's voice was filled with undisguised worry.

These past few days, every time her child cried, her heart would pound with fear, lest the curse strike again.

The two hurriedly pushed open the door to the nursery, where they saw Zhang Ma bending over in front of the crib, skillfully changing Gu Chengze's diaper.

Seeing the two rush in, Zhang Ma was somewhat surprised, but quickly reassured them:

&34; It's alright, young master and young mistress, don't worry. The young master just pooped and soiled his diaper, that's why he cried. This child, he's just born with a life of luxury, he can't stand even the slightest discomfort. &34;

As Zhang Ma talked and laughed, her hands never stopped moving, and she quickly changed Gu Chengze's diaper.

"But the young master's condition is much better; he barely woke up last night. Look, his complexion has regained some color," said Zhang Ma with a face full of relief.

Upon hearing this, Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu both stepped forward to carefully examine the little one in the crib.

Sure enough, compared to a few days ago, Xiao Gu Chengze's condition was much better.

Her two little eyes darted around, regaining their former sparkle, and her little face was no longer pale, but had a healthy rosy glow.

Upon seeing his parents, the little one babbled happily, waving his little hands and feet as if showing off his renewed energy.

Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing undisguised joy and relief.

"Thank you, Guan San Niang; thank you, Man Lin and Mo Han," Su Maiqi said softly, tears of gratitude glistening in her eyes.

Gu Tingyu didn't speak, but nodded slightly, though his tense shoulders visibly relaxed.

These past few days, Chengze's condition has been a heavy burden on his mind, but now that he sees his child has recovered, he can finally truly put his mind at ease.

"I'll hug him." Su Maiqi reached out and carefully lifted the child from the crib.

Little Gu Chengze let out a satisfied laugh in his mother's arms, his little hand tightly clutching a strand of Su Maiqi's long hair as if it were a precious treasure.

"Look, he recognizes you," Gu Tingyu said softly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Su Maiqi smiled and nodded, then bent down to kiss the child's forehead: "Of course I recognize him, my baby is the smartest."

Gu Tingyu leaned closer and gently touched the child's cheek. The little guy immediately turned his head and stared at his father with curiosity.

"Daddy misses you too, little one." Gu Tingyu's voice was filled with rare tenderness.

In his parents' arms, little Gu Chengze's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his little mouth kept making babbling sounds, as if he were telling about his experiences over the past few days.

Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu listened attentively, occasionally responding with a few words, as if they could truly understand the child's "language".

At this moment, all contracts, all boundaries, and all concerns were thrown to the winds.

At this moment, they are just an ordinary couple, happy for their child's health.

After a while, Zhang Ma coughed lightly: "Young Master, Young Madam, breakfast is ready. Would you like to go down and have something to eat?"

The two then snapped out of their interaction with the child and realized that it was getting late.

"Okay, Aunt Zhang, we'll be right down." Su Maiqi reluctantly handed the child to Aunt Zhang. "Could you look after Chengze for me for a moment? I'll wash up and come down."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will take good care of the young master."

Zhang Ma took the child, gently rocked him, and hummed a soft lullaby.

Breakfast was plentiful—fragrant steamed buns, refreshing and delicious congee with preserved egg and lean pork, crispy fried dough sticks, and several side dishes.

Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu sat down quietly and began to enjoy their belated breakfast.

&34; Chengze's condition has indeed improved a lot. &34;

Gu Tingyu picked up a small steamed bun, blew on it to cool it down, and thought, "It seems Guan Sanniang's method really works."

Su Maiqi nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude for Guan Sanniang: "Yes, it's all thanks to her. And Manlin and Mo Han, if they hadn't risked their lives to find Guan Sanniang, who knows what would have happened to Chengze..."

When she mentioned this, a hint of lingering fear unconsciously crept into her voice.

Gu Tingyu reached out and gently took her hand, which was resting on the table: "Don't think too much. Chengze is alright now, that's the most important thing."

When Su Maiqi touched Gu Tingyu's hand, she trembled slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy, but did not immediately pull it away as usual.

"Yes, you're right." She responded softly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

After finishing his meal, Gu Tingyu put down his cutlery, picked up his suit jacket, and his expression became somewhat formal.

I'm going to the company; I might be back a little late tonight.

Since Gu Chengze fell ill, he has not gone to the company for many days, staying at home and taking care of his son without leaving his side.

Even the most urgent tasks are handled remotely via phone and email.

But now, Chengze's condition has clearly improved, and he can relax a little and deal with some backlogged matters.

"Hmm." Su Maiqi nodded gently, her tone calm.

"I will try to come back as soon as possible." Gu Tingyu's voice was filled with a tender warmth.

I put on my coat, picked up my briefcase, and walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked back to Su Maiqi.

"You've worked hard these past few days," he said softly, his voice filled with sincere gratitude and deep emotion.

Then, he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

Like a morning breeze brushing across a lake, gentle and warm.

&34; Take good care of yourself and Chengze. &34;

After speaking gently, Gu Tingyu turned and left, his back straight and resolute.

Su Maiqi stood there, watching his figure disappear outside the door.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft, blurred silhouette on her.

She raised her hand and gently touched her forehead, where his warmth still seemed to linger.

This feeling is both familiar and strange, warm and complex.

Reason told her she should keep her distance, but her heart was drawn closer involuntarily.

She knew that the wall she had built was crumbling little by little, and she didn't rush to rebuild it as usual.

Su Maiqi took a deep breath, turned around and walked upstairs.

She was going to see Xiao Gu Chengze.

Unbeknownst to her, the man with whom she had initially only a contractual relationship had indeed developed a real connection with her.

Because of Gu Chengze, even if there is no love between them and they lose their marriage, they can never be completely unrelated again.

She felt that the door in her heart, which had always been tightly closed, seemed to have quietly opened a crack on this bright morning.
