Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Then you go find her, Mom won’t care about you anymore
She had learned from an old traditional Chinese dicine practitioner how to detect pregnancy, and after examining Zhou Yuan for a while, she reached a conclusion, “Yuanyuan, you’re pregnant.”
“Really?” Zhou Yuan asked.
“Congratulations,” Su ixi smiled.
Zhou Yuan touched her stomach.
She couldn’t imagine it; she still felt like a child, and now she was about to beco a mother?
But Gu Cheng was of age; it was about ti for him to beco a father.
Su ixi said, “You should hurry up and talk to Brother Cheng about this; he will definitely be very happy.”
Zhou Yuan was also happy and was about to go out, but after a while, she turned back, “I’ll wait until we return to the country to say anything. He’s really worried about his brother right now and probably won’t be too thrilled about having a late child.”
“He’s not old. Nowadays, many people marry in their 30s and have children in their 40s.”
Zhou Yuan insisted, “Let’s wait until we find Gu Wei. I’m afraid that the matter of the child will distract him.”
Su ixi then said, “Then you should be extra careful during this ti and don’t overexert yourself.”
Zhou Yuan nodded.
…
Gu Cheng had indeed been very busy during this period.
There were many things in the company that required his decision, and the search for Gu Wei was extrely frustrating.
He even blad his mother internally, how could she be so restless at her age?
His brother was already married; why did she have to disturb that?
He felt a bit irritable.
Returning to his room, seeing Zhou Yuan lying on the bed, holding a tablet and watching a movie, with so biscuits beside her, his weariness intensified.
His wife seed to be on a different wavelength.
He was exhausted, physically and ntally, from searching for people, yet his wife was comfortably watching movies and eating snacks here.
But then he thought, isn’t this what a man’s responsibility should be?
No matter how busy or tired, he shouldn’t let his emotions affect his wife.
He sat down next to Zhou Yuan, and seeing that he had returned, she was very happy and handed him a piece of biscuit.
“Brother Cheng, do you want to eat this?”
Gu Cheng shook his head, “No.”
“You didn’t co back for lunch today, did you eat?”
“I have eaten.”
He lay down.
Without asking if Zhou Yuan had eaten.
Zhou Yuan had been feeling nauseous these past few days, anything she ate made her want to vomit, and Su ixi suggested she eat so soda crackers.
She would feel dizzy when she got up, so she just wanted to lie down, but that was boring, so she simply started watching a movie, to not make herself feel miserable.
Seeing that Gu Cheng was not in high spirits, Zhou Yuan turned off the movie and then said, “Sister Su taught a set of massage techniques, let give you a massage to relieve so stress.”
“You know that too?”
“Of course, I’m smart, I can learn anything in a flash. Lie down quickly and enjoy my skills.”
Gu Cheng lay down and Zhou Yuan gently pressed on his forehead.
It was indeed quite relieving.
He fell asleep after a while.
…
Gu Wei’s vision had brightened a bit today.
Previously, the figures in front of him were like ghostly shadows.
But now, he could faintly make out the outlines of people.
His ears were also responding; his world had been silent before, but now he could hear buzzing sounds.
Sotis it was like tinnitus, at tis he could hear the sea, and occasionally he could hear people’s conversations, as if his left and right ears were working independently, making him feel dizzy after listening too much.
Ever since he could see the outlines of people clearly, he began to suspect that the person taking care of him was not Su ixi anymore.
Su ixi was tall and slender, with good body proportions, especially since she had learned self-defense from him, she would practice on her own, so not only was her figure supple, but she also had a lively beauty.
The person in front of him had a similar figure, but lacked so of Su ixi’s gracefulness.
Su ixi naturally had a large chest, a slim waist, and well-proportioned hips.
The person in front of him had slightly less ample breasts.
When his ears were able to hear, he hadn’t heard Su ixi’s voice but rather his mother’s and a stranger woman’s chatting. He had heard this stranger woman’s voice before but couldn’t rember where.
He never bothered to rember inconsequential people.
Could it be a caregiver his mother had hired?
If that were the case, why hadn’t she resisted when he’d been holding her hand all this ti? He didn’t believe that dical services had progressed to the point of hand-holding.
So when the figure, carrying the scent of Gardenia, walked toward him, took his hand, and handed him dicine, he withdrew his hand.
The other party was clearly startled.
His ears started buzzing again.
After that, it was Qiu Yurou who took his hand, signaling that he really needed to take his dication.
He didn’t take the dicine and instead spoke out loud, “Ah Xi.”
Not hearing his own voice, worried that the other party might not have heard him, he dipped his finger in water and wrote “Ah Xi” on the table.
Qiu Yurou looked at his face, then turned to look at Wan Manyu.
Wan Manyu was stiff with shock.
He knew now!
No matter how much she disguised it, the person he ultimately wanted to see was still Su ixi.
She turned and walked out.
…
In the villa, Su ixi and the others were having breakfast together.
Everyone was present today—Gu Cheng, Zhou Yuan, Su ixi, and Bai Anzhi were all there.
While they were eating, Gu Cheng suddenly received a voice ssage. It was from Qiu Yurou.
“Gu Wei is now safe. Manman and I can take care of her; you guys hurry back to the country,” she said.
He put it on speakerphone, so everyone at the table heard.
Gu Cheng imdiately asked, “Mom, where are you? We won’t return until we see Gu Wei.”
“In a safe place. Tell Su ixi, it’s Manman taking care of Gu Wei now. If she has any dignity, she should back off. She can have the villa, but Gu Wei goes to Manman.”
Gu Cheng handed the phone to Su ixi.
Su ixi imdiately said, “Mom, I won’t give up on Gu Wei, and I believe he won’t give up on either.”
“Then let ask you, Gu Wei has beco deaf and blind now. He can’t even take care of himself. Do you still want him?”
Su ixi responded without hesitation, “Of course I do.”
Silence followed from the other end.
…
In recent days, Gu Wei had been refusing to take his dication and food.
His vision was becoming clearer. A few days earlier, he could only make out shapes, but now he could see so things up close. He could make out his own palm and also the hand that usually held his.
It was Wan Manyu’s hand.
So during the ti he had been seriously ill in bed, it was she who had been taking care of him!
He had mistaken the person!
He felt very guilt-ridden.
He didn’t want this mistake to continue any longer.
His ears could also faintly make out so sounds.
“Gu Wei, I’m begging you, please eat sothing. You’re not eating or drinking, not even taking your dicine; it’s making mom very upset,” Qiu Yurou said.
Gu Wei didn’t react.
He just repeatedly asked, “Where’s Ah Xi?”
He wanted his Ah Xi.
Qiu Yurou lost her temper, “Eat this!”
She tried to shove food into Gu Wei’s mouth, but he didn’t open up.
The food slid down to his chest, infuriating Qiu Yurou to the point where she threw the bowl and turned away crying.
But, after all, an arm is no match for a thigh, Qiu Yurou.
Qiu Yurou was angry for a while and cried for a while, but ultimately she agreed.
“Fine, you insist on finding her, don’t you? Then go find her. Mom’s done with you!”
