Chapter 273: Chapter 273 A Short Parting is Better than a New Marriage Chapter 273: Chapter 273 A Short Parting is Better than a New Marriage “I’m already 37 weeks,” Zhou Yuan said, “The doctor ntioned I could go into labor anyti and advised to stop running around and rest at ho for the birth.”
Then she pointed her webcam down at her belly to give Su ixi a peek.
“Are you the doctor, after all, so tell —is it a boy or a girl?”
Su ixi laughed, “I’m a doctor, not a magician. The internet isn’t an ultrasound; how would I know? But tell , do you wish for a boy or a girl?”
“Either is fine.”
“Since that’s the case, don’t worry about it anymore. We’ll all find out the day you give birth. The surprise will probably be the most exciting part, right?”
“Yes!”
Zhou Yuan then asked Su ixi, “Sister Su, how have you been doing lately?”
“Not bad.”
“Your biological parents…”
Su ixi smiled, “Yuanyuan, let’s not talk about them.”
“Why?” Zhou Yuan didn’t know about the recent events in Su ixi’s life, but knowing that she was pregnant and always treating her like a younger sister, Su ixi had not shared anything.
Su ixi said, “To sum it up, four words: Destined but not fated.”
Zhou Yuan dared not ask any further.
However, she would ask Gu Cheng.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuan spoke to Gu Cheng about Su ixi. Gu Cheng, unaware of the twist in events, imdiately called Gu Wei.
Gu Wei then shared with Gu Cheng about Xi Wanlin’s suicide attempt.
Gu Cheng, being a sharp man, of course, understood the complexities involved.
They say love is selfish, but familial love can be too, especially in the case of a child like Su ixi, who was forced to fend for herself outside. To win her love, her parents had to show affection solely towards her.
This vacillation, given Su ixi’s personality, was definitely not sothing she preferred.
After hanging up with Gu Wei, Gu Cheng turned to Zhou Yuan and said, “This childbirth, I must have my 18 bodyguards posted outside.”
Zhou Yuan: “…”
…
It was dawn.
In a daze, Su ixi felt soone climb onto her bed.
Then, she felt the weight pressing down on her.
That familiar scent, she knew without a doubt, it was Gu Wei.
She opened her eyes and saw his face, full of adoration.
“Why are you back?” Su ixi asked.
“I completed my mission yesterday, so I ca back today,” Gu Wei replied.
He then leaned down to kiss her.
She turned her face away, “I haven’t brushed my teeth.”
Gu Wei didn’t mind, since he hadn’t either.
Besides, there was no bad breath to speak of, no need to spoil the mood. Sotis, by the ti you’ve brushed your teeth and taken a bath, the mont has passed.
“Darling, I’ve missed you so much.” He said while kissing her, his hand wandering further down.
Su ixi missed him too, a brief separation making the heart grow fonder.
They went at it from morning till nearly noon, leaving Su ixi with trembling legs, unable to get off the bed. It was Gu Wei who carried her down for breakfast.
He set her gently on the sofa and commanded, “Don’t get up.”
She obediently sat on the sofa, and then Gu Wei made so simple sandwiches and milk, bringing them over to her like he was caring for a patient.
Su ixi lazily leaned on the sofa eating her breakfast, while asking, “How long will you be back this ti?”
“Ten days, plus making up for so previous leave.”
He hadn’t rested in a long ti, so a break was deserved.
After saying this, he added, “These days, I’ll take care of you.”
Su ixi almost choked on her sandwich.
People who’ve been in the military for a long ti have a certain rough way of speaking, which was understandable.
She said, “Husband, are you trying to say that you’ve been taking care of these past few days, right?”
Gu Wei corrected her, “More like serving.”
anwhile, he took a big bite of his sandwich.
Su ixi: “…”
…
Su ixi didn’t have to work for the next two days, so she planned to stay at ho.
Since she had been stalked and injured, she didn’t enjoy going out unless she had company, like the few tis she went out with Xi Wanfen.
However, Gu Wei wanted to take her out to distract her.
“Wife, we’ve been married so long, and I’ve always been busy, we’ve never really had fun. Now that I have so free ti, I want to spend it having fun with you.”
Su ixi asked, “Where should we go?”
“Where do you want to go?”
Su ixi thought about it, far places were out of question, nearby spots felt too familiar, and the weather was cold. After so thought, she felt the big shopping mall was fun with food and movies available.
“Do you want to watch a movie?” Gu Wei asked.
Su ixi nodded, “Yeah, we haven’t gone to watch a movie yet.”
Gu Wei imdiately took out his phone and asked, “Which one do you want to see?”
Su ixi checked; there were recently a popular animated movie, a foreign film, a cri film, and a dostic romance film.
She hesitated between the cri film and the foreign film but then chose the cri film.
Gu Wei asked, “Are you sure about this one?”
“Sure.”
Gu Wei just went along with her choice; he actually wanted to watch the animated movie but was too embarrassed to say so.
They took a taxi to the mall, and since it was still early, they strolled around for a bit.
The mall was crowded on the weekend. Gu Wei carefully protected Su ixi to prevent any passing children from bumping into her.
When they passed a row of claw machines, Su ixi watched for a while.
Seeing this, Gu Wei quickly asked her, “Do you want to play?”
Su ixi nodded, “I’ve never seriously played before.”
Gu Wei then went to exchange for tokens, rustling up over a hundred, and then passed the small basket filled with coins to her, “Wife, today you play as much as you want.”
Su ixi: “…”
Su ixi holding a heavy basket of coins went to the claw machine and imdiately noticed the Grey Wolf doll, “Gu Wei, does this look like you?”
Gu Wei: “…”
Does it?
A young couple nearby also turned to look at Gu Wei. The girl, seeing Gu Wei, imdiately brightened up.
So handso.
But since her boyfriend was beside her, she felt awkward looking for too long.
The boy glanced at Gu Wei and then at the Grey Wolf doll, it turned out they both just happened to be male.
In that case, wasn’t he also sowhat like the Grey Wolf?
Su ixi decided to try for the Grey Wolf.
She felt it resembled him because the Grey Wolf loves to cook, especially to eat lamb, and Gu Wei also enjoyed cooking and eating lamb when they were in Wu Bian Town.
Gu Wei patiently watched Su ixi play.
Su ixi dropped over 20 coins without managing to grasp even one.
Every ti she grabbed one, as soon as the claw rose, the toy would drop.
But she didn’t get discouraged. Being a science student and a doctor, she always made summaries; grasping the toy was not only about eye accuracy but also about joint force and timing.
Finally, she managed to snatch one up and clapped her hands joyously like a little girl.
“Gu Wei, see, thinking and studying hard made it successful, didn’t it?”
“…” Gu Wei thought for a while but decided to tell her the truth, “Is it possible that this is all predetermined? Like, after a certain number of coins, only then can you grab one?”
Suddenly, Su ixi felt that neither Gu Wei was as cute as Zhou Yuan and Xi Wanfen, nor was the claw machine ga interesting anymore.
