When the abusive male protagonist wakes up

After the child recovered from his illness, Tao An went back to work in the convenience store.

Gu Haoxing still appeared by his side every day, and Tao An got used to it, and just treated him as a stranger and ignored him.

Now he no longer had the initial fear of Gu Haoxing, maybe because he realized that Gu Haoxing would not force him anymore, he could reluctantly accept Gu Haoxing's existence.

This morning, Tao An came to the convenience store to work as usual, and found that there was an unfamiliar face in the store.

After listening to the boss' explanation, Tao An realized that this was a new employee in the store.

It turned out that the old employee planned to resign and go back to his hometown to develop, so the boss recruited a new person, who is doing trial work these days.

The young man looks like he hasn't graduated from university yet, his facial features are very young, and his temperament reveals an inherent nobility.

Seeing the young man staring at him curiously, Tao An bravely greeted him, "Hello, my name is Tao An."

The young man stared at Tao An's face with fascination, and suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and responded: "My name is Guo Jiayue, Guo Jing's Guo, Jia of commendation, Yue of joy."

After the two greeted each other, the embarrassment in the atmosphere finally eased a bit.

Guo Jiayue said, "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Tao An explained: "The child was sick a few days ago, and I took care of it in the hospital."

Only then did the young man notice that Tao An was holding a child in his arms, with round eyes and pink lips, looking at him with a pair of big round eyes, so cute.

Guo Jiayue asked curiously, "Is this your child?"

Tao An nodded.

"Boys and girls?"

"boy."

Guo Jiayue had never seen such a young child before, and felt a little strange, so she couldn't help teasing the child with her fingers, "You don't look very old, are you already married?"

Tao An was not used to dealing with such familiar people, so he forced a smile.

Guo Jiayue pinched the child's little face, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Your child is so cute, much prettier than those little kids I've seen before."

Anyone would be happy to hear others praise their child, Tao An showed a shy smile, "Thank you."

Tao An took the child and went to the lounge to settle down. When he came out of the room, there were already customers in the store. Before he had time to take a breath, he started to work.

At the beginning, Tao An was worried that Guo Jiayue was not easy to get along with, but after getting along for a long time, he found that besides being lazy, he was actually pretty good.

Although the former old employee was not a bad person, he had a lot of opinions on Tao An bringing his children to work. In addition, Tao An always felt uncomfortable when he reported to Gu Haoxing, so the two of them usually had nothing to do except handover shifts. , basically did not speak.

Now that Guo Jiayue is here, although he is young and has many problems, he is cheerful and talkative, and Tao An suddenly feels that going to work is not so boring.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, so Tao An took the child out to play, while Guo Jiayue sat on the side and watched him feed the child with great interest.

At this time, the door of the convenience store was pushed open from the outside. Guo Jiayue thought another customer was coming, her face collapsed, and she said weakly, "Welcome."

Turning around, a man in a suit and leather shoes came in. His appearance and temperament were not simple.

Seeing Gu Haoxing, Tao An frowned slightly, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Haoxing squinted at Guo Jiayue, a stranger, and put the takeaway bag on the table, "I bought you lunch."

Normally, Tao An would definitely not be willing to accept it, but today Guo Jiayue was here, Tao An was worried that the other party would see something tricky, so he didn't argue with Gu Haoxing, and said flatly: "You go."

Gu Haoxing looked at Tao An's indifferent attitude, and felt a little unhappy, "Is it convenient for you to hold the child to eat? Otherwise, I will carry it for you first?"

Tao An shook his head, "No need, you go, don't affect my work."

Gu Haoxing took a deep breath, his eyes swept over Guo Jiayue's face watching the excitement, and he pushed the door and left with a sullen face.

Guo Jiayue looked at Gu Haoxing's leaving back, remembered that the man looked at him with a little hostility just now, and asked suspiciously, "Who is that man?"

Tao An didn't want to mention Gu Haoxing, so he said perfunctorily, "I don't know him."

"I don't know how it is possible to deliver food to you." Guo Jiayue pouted, very displeased with Tao An's perfunctory, he glanced at the words on the takeaway bag, and snorted, "Isn't this the restaurant that requires membership to buy it?" ?”

Tao An looked at Guo Jiayue strangely, wondering how he knew so clearly, "You know this store?"

Guo Jiayue said without changing his face: "If you have never eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run away. Who doesn't know such a famous butcher shop."

Tao An thinks it makes sense, but it's not surprising that he knows a restaurant. He dispelled the doubts in his heart, thinking that he can't take such expensive food from Gu Haoxing for nothing, so he should not give it away in the future.

Guo Jiayue was still gossiping about asking Tao An who that man was. After all, he could afford such an expensive lunch and drive such an expensive luxury car. At first glance, his status was not simple. Tao An didn't want to go into details about their relationship , so he reluctantly changed his words and said that he was a friend, and then he got away with it.

In the evening, Tao An got off work first, and he told Guo Jiayue some precautions before leaving get off work.

He walked out of the convenience store, and as expected, he saw Gu Hao walking over.

Gu Haoxing glanced at Guo Jiayue in the convenience store through the transparent window, and asked warily, "Who is that man, why haven't I seen him before?"

"Colleague." Tao An reluctantly replied, not wanting to explain too much, and walked towards the vegetable market.

While following Tao An, Gu Haoxing turned his head to look in the direction of the convenience store, feeling suspicious in his heart.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, Tao An's cell phone rang. He took out the cell phone, and Gu Xiao's name flashed on the screen.

Seeing that it was Gu Xiao calling, Gu Haoxing's expression darkened, "Then what does the bastard want from you?"

Tao An was very uncomfortable with Gu Haoxing calling his illegitimate children one by one, and he didn't want to talk to him even more. He picked up the phone, and Gu Xiao's hearty laughter came from the opposite side: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to eat."

Tao An was a little surprised, "You, are you here?"

He was so busy taking care of his sick child these days that he forgot that it was the weekend again.

Gu Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, I brought some food, but I don't know if I can exchange it for a meal for you."

Tao An laughed, "You're here, of course, I'm just shopping for groceries, so wait for me at the door."

Gu Xiao said without hesitation: "Then I'll go find you, anyway, I have nothing to do here."

Tao An hesitated and said, "The vegetable market is very dirty, you'd better not come here."

"It's okay, I don't mind." When Gu Xiao heard Tao An went to the vegetable market, he didn't feel disgusted at all, and insisted: "And you still have a child, how convenient is it to get the vegetables, I can help in the past."

Gu Xiao insisted on coming, so Tao An had no choice but to tell Gu Xiao the address and wait for him at the gate of the vegetable market.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Haoxing's voice was low and displeased, "He wants to come?"

Tao An hummed lightly.

Gu Haoxing's face can be described as ugly, "What is he doing here again?"

Tao An didn't want to talk to him, so he turned around and was about to enter the vegetable market, when Gu Haoxing grabbed his arm from behind.

"You tell him to go back!" Thinking of Gu Xiao coming to pester Tao An again, Gu Haoxing wished he could tie up the illegitimate son and throw him into the sea, so that he would never be able to get Tao An's attention again.

Tao An's wrist hurt from being grabbed, and he tried his best to withdraw his hand, but his words were full of alienation, "He is my friend, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Friend?" Gu Haoxing gritted his teeth angrily, "Anyone with eyes knows that he is interested in you."

Tao An looked up at him, and said indifferently, "That's also my business."

Gu Haoxing was stunned for a moment, Tao An took advantage of this moment to withdraw his hand, turned around and entered the vegetable market.

Ten minutes later, a car that didn't fit in the vegetable market stopped. Gu Xiao got out of the car and had a face-to-face meeting with his brother.

Gu Haoxing stared at Gu Xiao with gloomy eyes across the passers-by coming and going in the vegetable market, as if he wanted to swallow him up.

Gu Xiao wasn't too surprised, and said calmly, "Brother, are you here?"

Gu Haoxing's eyebrows twitched, "What the hell do you mean by that?"

Gu Xiao shrugged, "It's nothing interesting, I thought you would feel sorry for Tao An after knowing the stupid things you did, so stay away from him with a little self-knowledge."

Gu Haoxing knew that Gu Xiao didn't have the kindness to tell him about Tang Li, so it was his idea.

Gu Haoxing grabbed Gu Xiao's collar, gritted his teeth with a black face and said, "I warn you, you'd better stay away from Tao An, don't think that you have a chance if he divorces me."

Gu Xiao smiled calmly, "Brother, you are all divorced, don't you allow others to pursue Tao An?"

Gu Haoxing wished he could take care of Xiao and punch him in the face, to let him know what it means to retreat in spite of difficulties.

Gu Xiao slowly withdrew the tie from his brother, and tidied up his suit unhurriedly, "Brother, I'll give you some advice, if you want to get Tao An back, you'd better learn what respect is, otherwise you'll never be able to do it for the rest of your life." There is no way to be with him."

He passed Gu Haoxing, walked into the vegetable market, and found Tao An in front of a vegetable stall.

"Tao An!"

Tao An turned around when he heard the movement, and saw Gu Xiao walking towards him with a smile.

"You're here." Tao An smiled faintly.

Gu Xiao bent down and touched the child's small face, "Why do you look uncomfortable?"

Tao An told Gu Xiao about the child's illness a few days ago, but omitted the part where Gu Haoxing accompanied him to the hospital.

"Are you okay?" Gu Xiao frowned when he heard that the child was sick, "Shall I accompany you to the hospital?"

"I've been there, the doctor said it will be fine after a while."

Only then did Gu Xiao heave a sigh of relief. He seemed to have sensed something, and looked behind him. As expected, his brother was standing not far away and staring at them.

Tao An also noticed Gu Haoxing outside the vegetable market. He remembered something and couldn't help but ask Gu Xiao, "Haoxing knows about Tang Li pushing me downstairs, did you tell him?"

Gu Xiao didn't deny it, "Yes."

Seeing that Tao An didn't speak, Gu Xiao asked, "Did my brother tell you something?"

Tao An hesitated for a moment, and told Gu Xiao what Gu Haoxing said that night.

Gu Xiao frowned after hearing this, "My brother just said he had a showdown with Tang Li?"

Tao An nodded.

Gu Xiao frowned slightly, "Then what about him pushing you downstairs? Let's forget it?"

Gu Xiao originally thought that his brother would send him to prison to vent his anger on Tao An when he knew what Tang Li had done, but in the end he just did it hastily.

Tao An lowered his eyes and shook his head.

He also didn't hold out hope that Gu Haoxing would really make Tang Li accept legal sanctions. In Gu Haoxing's heart, he and the child were just insignificant people.

Tao An raised his head and forced a smile, "Let's finish shopping early and go home."

Gu Xiao took a deep breath. He saw that Tao An didn't want to mention it. Although he was unwilling, he nodded cooperatively, "Okay, I'll help you carry the food."

Not far away, Gu Haoxing looked at the backs of the two walking side by side, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.

If it wasn't for Gu Xiao's sudden appearance, he almost forgot that Gu Xiao still existed.

As long as Gu Xiao hangs around Tao An for a day, he won't even think about chasing Tao An back.

Thinking of this, a cold look flashed across Gu Haoxing's eyes. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xiao Jiang: Go and do something for me.
