Because there was a US cooperative team coming over, so on that morning, Gu Qingcheng arrived at MSC after 7 o'clock. Fang Shu accompanied the reception of the cooperative team and returned to the office again.

  The front desk downstairs called and said, "Mr. Gu, there is an express delivery for you here, I have signed for it on your behalf, shall I send it up to you?"

  "Have it sent up."

  It was just an express delivery similar to a file bag. Gu Qingcheng's slender fingers took out the blade from the drawer, cut open the file bag, and pulled out an envelope made of cowhide paper from inside. Feeling it, there were several hard card-like cards inside the envelope.

  Gu Qingcheng opened the envelope and pulled out the photos inside, a total of three.

  The first one is close-up, by the roadside, Gu Qingcheng and Shen Jiayou are fighting, Yang Fuchen rushes over to block them.

  The second one was last night. Yang Mochen and Shen Jiayu walked into the dining hall together with a close gesture.

  The third one is last night, Gu Qingcheng got drunk and hugged Yang Mochen's waist, forcing his face close to hers.

  The photos were taken very clearly, even if they are shown to professionals, it can be found that there is no borrowing in the photo.

  These three photos, once posted online, will definitely not be criticized by Gu Qingcheng and Shen Jiayou. It's Yang Fuxiao, if someone doesn't understand the inside story, they'll think Yang Fuxiao is playing with the emotions of these two men and will definitely receive unfair treatment.

  Is this person targeting Yang Fu Xiao? YAHUA number.

  But why send the photos over here to him?

  Inside the envelope, apart from these three photos, there is no other contact information. Even the sender's column on the express delivery sheet is blank, with no phone number and no name.

  Gu Qingcheng narrowed his eyes, picked up the lighter from the desktop, ignited the photo, and the light blue flame that rose from the bottom instantly engulfed the photo. Gu Qingcheng raised his hand and threw it to the ground, the photo slowly burned into ashes, leaving a black burn mark on the smooth marble floor.

  If the other party uses photos just for intimidation, then conditions will always be put forward.

  Gu Qingcheng made a phone call to Dong Zhe: "Recently, help me keep an eye on the newspaper and some online forums. If there's any news, spend some time suppressing it."

  ………………

  Yang waited in the Zijing Garden for an entire afternoon, but Gu Qingcheng still didn't show up.

  She sat back on the sofa, holding a cup of honey water in her hand, sipping it slowly.

  Sheng Weiwei seemed even more nervous than Yang Fuqiao, walking from the stairs to the kitchen and then back again, pacing back and forth while constantly checking the time.

  "Gu Qingcheng shouldn't be so unreliable, right?" Sheng turned around slightly, "Feng Xiao, maybe he doesn't want you to have an abortion after all."

  Yang Fu Xiao held a steaming cup of water and slightly pursed her lips.

  If Gu Qingcheng wants her to keep this child, what about the agreement between Shen Jiayou and her?

  Yang Xiaoxiao's knuckles turned white as she gripped her glass, and for the first time, she felt a twinge of doubt about her decision.

  Just then, when the living room was quiet, there were two knocks at the door.

  Yang Mu Xiao and Sheng Wei Wei both suddenly looked up to see the door open from the outside, with Gu Qing Cheng walking in wearing a dark brown overcoat.

  Sheng Weiwei let out a soft cry of surprise: "Gu Qingcheng, I thought you weren't coming!"

  Gu Qingcheng stayed on the ground mat at the entrance of the house for a moment, then walked around Sheng Weiwei and approached Yang Fuxiao, pulling her hand up, "I still have to take Fuxiao to the hospital."

  Yang Fu Xiao still held the water cup in one hand, his hand was a bit cold, and his eyes seemed to be looking in the direction of Gu Qing Cheng, but also seemed to be lingering on the ground behind him, his gaze was a bit scattered.

  He turned around, took the water cup from her hand and put it aside, holding his hand to hug her waist, helping her up, and casually brushed away a strand of hair that fell on her shoulder, saying: "Let's go to the hospital, okay?"

  Yang Mo Xiao slightly raised her head, gazing at Gu Qing Cheng's profound eyes, then nodded, "Alright."

  Gu Qingcheng's palm was warm and dry, and he put Yang Bufang's hand in his large hand. He could feel that behind this person, there was a sense of security and stability.

  Yes, just an illusion.

  Yang Mo Xiao slightly raised her head and took a glance at Gu Qing Cheng's profile, which was dimly lit by the natural light coming in from outside the window. She bit her lip.

  "I'm going to the hospital too!"

  It was still Gu Qingcheng driving, and the car was moving steadily on the road.

  Perhaps it was Gu Qingcheng's sudden crazy driving a few days ago that made Yang Fuxiao feel an inexplicable fear of taking the car, and she couldn't help but tighten her seatbelt.

  Gu Qingcheng held onto the steering wheel with one hand and grabbed Yang Xiaoxiao's hand with the other, "I won't drive fast."

  Yang Duoxiao nodded slightly.

  Sheng Weiwei leaned back in the rear seat, stretching her waist and gazing strangely at the two people in front. Was this a cold war? How did it feel like these two had made up? But somehow there was still some awkwardness, just like a twisted doughnut, twisted together.

  It's actually better this way, she can't even get along with Lawyer Shen now.

  She really wants to get along with Lawyer Shen too.

  When Yang arrived at the hospital, he felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.

  I'm going to the restroom.

  After passing by the women's restroom on the first floor, Yang Xiao stopped and pulled at Gu Qingcheng's arm.

  Gu Qingcheng released Yang Fuxiao's hand and directly switched to holding Yang Fuxiao's bag with his other hand, "Alright, I'll wait for you outside."

  "I'm also going to the restroom."

  Sheng Weiwei is now acting as a very competent little follower, following Yang Fu Xiao wherever he goes.

  Yang Mu Xiao actually privately didn't want Sheng Weiwei to follow him in.

  She just wants to have some space to calm down now, but Sheng Weiwei came in and pulled Yang Fuxiao aside: "Fuxiao, actually you don't need to worry, I can tell that Gu Qingcheng really likes you, so you don't need to worry, he definitely won't do anything to hurt you."

  Yang brushed off the dawn and turned his head to look at Sheng Weiwei's bright smile, and smiled bitterly: "Even if you want to take away my child, you won't hurt me, right?"

  Sheng Weiwei was momentarily speechless.

  "I don't know, but I'm sure my brother didn't mean it that way. He's just a bit chauvinistic and thinks he's invincible, but even the strongest person, or even a god, will have weaknesses."

  This is what Sheng Weiwei said.

  Sheng Weiwei's mother died in childbirth, so from the moment Sheng Weiwei had memories, she regarded her father Sheng Haodong as a god and spoiled him to the point of being able to spoil him to heaven. She said he would never remarry, but later on, he was bewildered by that woman and married a stepmother.

  Hmph, Sheng Haodong is just a scumbag.

  Of course, Sheng Xiaojie secretly scolded her father for eighteen generations in her heart, and inadvertently included herself.

  Yang Mu Xiao listened to Sheng Weiwei's words, and suddenly thought of the man who got drunk and blew cold wind until he had a fever last night. The childish fear of bitterness refused to take medicine, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

  There is indeed another side, probably a rare encounter in a hundred years.

  Gu Qingcheng had already made an appointment and registered beforehand, and the doctors were all ready.

  Before entering the operating room, a little nurse said: "Miss, please come in."

  Yang Mu Xiao stared at the female nurse's face with a mask, suddenly wanting to go back to five months ago. At that time, it was a rainy night, and she went to the hospital alone for hymen repair surgery, also gathering her courage to enter, wanting to forget Xu Mo Huan, to start anew. But not only did she not forget, on the contrary, she fell in love with someone who looked exactly like Xu Mo Huan again.

  Gu Qingcheng also wanted to follow the nurse in, but was blocked outside: "Men are not allowed."

  "Can't I go in with him?" asked Gu Qingcheng.

  The nurse shook her head: "No, sir, don't worry, it's just a small operation, there won't be any danger, it'll be over in half an hour."

  Sheng Weiwei noticed the expression on Gu Qingcheng's face, which was indeed a little despondent and lost. She hastily raised her hand: "I! I am a woman, I can go in!"

  Female nurse: “......”

  "But I'm afraid of blood, so there shouldn't be any bleeding...right?"

  The female nurse's gaze at Sheng Wei was clearly written: What operation doesn't see blood?

  Yang brushed off the dawn's cruel goodbye, no longer looking into Qing Cheng's eyes, and followed the nurse forward.

  Just then, Yang Muxiao happened to be walking to the door of the operating room when Gu Qingcheng suddenly took two steps forward and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, placing his palms on Yang Muxiao's abdomen, with his hands crossed. Although it was only for less than three seconds, it had already made Yang Muxiao's eyes moisten.

  Gu Qingcheng loosened her waist and said, "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."

  Yang Fuxiao closed his eyes and walked into the operating room.

  Just now, Gu Qingcheng's last move was clearly making a final plea, to plead with Yang Mianxiao, to plead with the children who had no fate to be father and daughter in this life, but he still didn't say it out loud.

  The operating room door closed behind her, and after passing through a screen in front of her, Yang Xiao suddenly turned around, pulled open the curtain that the female nurse had just pulled up, and subconsciously wanted to walk towards the door.

  A man wearing a white medical gown and mask suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Yang Fuxiao.

  "This was arranged by Shen Shao."

  After hearing this sentence, Yang Xiao had already understood.

  Things have come to a head and can't be turned around; all we can do is continue on with the usual routine.

  ………………

  Sheng Weiwei accompanied Gu Qingcheng to sit on the public bench outside, and she felt a little pain in her heart because she was not what they called a "DINK" (Double Income, No Kids), children were definitely going to have, although she had heard that many pregnancies were very difficult and childbirth was very painful, but she must experience the joy of being a mother.

  Although Sheng Da Xiaojie is very open-minded in doing things, she is actually still quite conservative in her thinking.

  So, she can empathize with Yang Mu Xiao's feelings and has an extra bit of resentment towards Gu Qing Cheng. It's something that all women would resent. This child is really gone, and she cruelly scolds Gu Qing Cheng.

  With a faint glance at the corner of her eye, she asked: "Brother, don't you feel reluctant to part with it?"

  Gu Qingcheng stood up directly, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

  Sheng Weiwei gazed at Gu Qingcheng's receding back, pursing her lips.

  Run away in a hurry then.

  To be honest, a big man is still like a child, running away with this kind of situation.

  She was left alone in the corridor, she took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Zhenliang: "Have you started work? I'm at the hospital now."

  She deliberately sent this message.

  When ordinary people hear the three words "going to the hospital", their first reaction is always: Are you sick?

  Especially now with Weibo's special situation, it's even more necessary to show concern and ask about each other's well-being.

  However, it took a long time for Shen Chenliang to respond with only one word: "Mm-hmm".

  Sheng Wei's eyes widened suddenly, "What does 'en' mean?!"

  She immediately picked up her phone and called Shen Zhenliang. As soon as the call connected, she had already turned her anger into a sweet voice, not daring to scare Lawyer Shen with a loud tone.

  "What was that 'uh' supposed to mean?!" became "Uh... I didn't quite understand the text message you just sent me..."

  A faint sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard came from inside the receiver, "That means I'm working."

  "Oh, I won't disturb you at work then."

  "Uh-huh."

  A simple "uh-huh" and the phone was hung up.

  A little frustrated.

  I really think that Shen Zhenliang, this sexually apathetic and ascetic male god lawyer, is just too difficult to deal with. We've known each other for so long, yet we're still inexplicably distant from each other...

  ………………

  Gu Qingcheng walked slowly into the smoking room, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette butt, and puffed out smoke. He inhaled heavily, drawing the smoke deep into his lungs.

  He thought it was time to tell Yang Fu Xiao everything.

  But this child must also be taken away.

  His mother came to him...

  So, there absolutely cannot be another child of a blood relative again.

  The mobile phone rang.

  It was not Gu Qingcheng's own phone, but Yang Fuxiao's phone.

  Since Yang Fuxiao entered the operating room just now, her bag has been hanging on Gu Qingcheng's arm.

  Gu Qingcheng took out his mobile phone and looked at the name "Grandma" on it.

  He hesitated for a moment and then answered the phone.

  "Xiao Xiao, I am your grandma."

  "Grandma, it's me. I went to work at dawn today and forgot to bring my phone."

  Grandma heard that and put down her heart, "Little Guo, I heard from her uncle before, saying something about Xiao Xiao getting into some trouble in C city."

  "There's no trouble, she's fine, wait till tonight when she gets off work, I'll have her give you a call."

  "No need to call back, she'll be fine," Grandma said. "With you around, there's nothing to worry about. Dawn has been more considerate than other girls since she was a child. Maybe it's because her parents weren't around, and I'm an old lady with some things on my mind that I couldn't take care of... But anyway, Dawn is like a sapling, not crooked."

  Gu Qingcheng responded with a couple of "uh-huhs" and then asked about her grandmother's health. Listening to her grandmother's robust voice, it was clear that her grandmother's body had been well taken care of. The last time Yang Fuxiao went back to give her grandmother a full-body check-up, it turned out to be true.

  ………………

  After the operation, Yang Xiao was temporarily pushed by the doctor into a ward for rest.

  Gu Qingcheng dispersed the smell of smoke on his body outside, then pushed open the door and walked into the ward. Yang Fuxiao was sleeping soundly, her face a bit pale, with thick black hair framing her small face, and her curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

  Yang's eyelashes are very long, even without makeup, they appear to have long eyelids and deep eye sockets, as if they are drawing eyeliner.

  Gu Qingcheng walked over, sat down beside Yang Fu Xiao, and reached out to scatter the hair that had fallen on her cheek, revealing a pale pink lip. He leaned in and kissed it lightly.

  Yang Furong was motionless, as if in a deep sleep.

  Gu Qingcheng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her for a while before grabbing his coat and turning to leave.

  Before long, Yang Xiao, who was lying in bed, opened her eyes.

  The sky outside is very dark, and the low-hanging clouds are foretelling a rain mixed with snow.

  Yang Mo Xiao blinked her eyes, placed both hands on her flat abdomen, and closed her eyelids again.

  Actually, grandma said something very right, Yang Fu Xiao is a wild sapling, it's just that he didn't grow crooked.

  Not only does it not grow crooked, but it grows upright and optimistic, striving towards the sun.

  When one door closes, another window opens.

  But fate is sometimes unfair, maybe heaven closes a door for you and forgets to open that window, so life becomes dark.

  But at this time she also believed that even in darkness, it's just a moment of darkness, and someone will always discover that they forgot to open the window for you.

  ………………

  Yang Mu-xiao's hospitalization was kept under wraps and he returned to Zi Jing Yuan the next day.

  Aunt Li saw Yang's pale face and felt especially sorry, "How could you fall like that, this child... Ah, never mind, you and your husband are still young, there will be plenty of opportunities to have children in the future."

  Yang Fu Xiao, no matter whether it was to Aunt Li or Meng Xi, as long as they were relatively close acquaintances, all said that she had fallen down the stairs and miscarried. Facing Aunt Li's concerned gaze, Yang Fu Xiao still couldn't help but lower her head and drink soup without looking up.

  These two days, it was all Sheng Weiwei accompanying her, and Auntie Li also didn't stop taking tonics.

  Of course, there is also Gu Qingcheng.

  Yang Xiao's temper became more and more clever, no matter who she was with, she would always be smiling and laughing, especially with Gu Qingcheng. Whenever Gu Qingcheng wanted to hug her, she would never push him away, on the contrary, she would actively lean in to kiss his lips, then smile innocently.

  Even Sheng Weiwei felt that Yang Fu's temperament had changed a bit too quickly, and was also a bit too obedient. The key is that this obedience would give people the illusion that she actually didn't care about Gu Qingcheng, or even the child in her womb.

  Yang Mianxiao especially liked watching funny variety shows, Gu Qingcheng sometimes accompanied her on the sofa to watch, she was particularly well-behaved leaning against his broad back, then looking at the TV screen with a little bit of laughter, laughing so hard that her body shook, pointing at the TV: "Haha, look at that guy, I'm going to laugh to death..."

  Gu Qingcheng took a blanket from beside him and covered her with it, "When did your sense of humor become so low?"

  Yang wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with a smile: "My sense of humor has always been at this level, Mr. Gu, believe it or not, if you bark like a dog now, I'll laugh so hard that I'll faint."

  Gu Qingcheng's face was solemn and his eyes were deep and profound.

  Before he could speak, Yang Xiao suddenly covered Gu Qingcheng's mouth with her hand. "Don't, what if I really laugh and pass out? Then I'd have to trouble Mr. Gu to give me CPR, how embarrassing would that be?"

  Gu Qingcheng didn't notice that Yang Mochen's way of addressing him had changed from Mr. Gu, Director Gu, Big Brother Gu to Gu Qingcheng and now back to the initial stage again.

  He liked to hold Yang Fuxiao on his lap and kiss him, Yang Fuxiao didn't struggle or push him away, he sat there obediently letting him kiss him until he couldn't take it anymore, then covered his red and swollen lips: "It's over, can't go out in public now."

  Even Sheng Weiwei noticed that Yang Mochen had some emotional changes after the abortion surgery, let alone Gu Qingcheng.

  But nobody mentioned it first, just so faintly, warmly.

  Gu Qingcheng has been very busy with company matters recently, but he often lets Fang Shu or Liu Yitian send files to Zijing Garden for approval.

  Liu Yitian comes more often, and Yang Fuxiao is usually lying in bed, looking at Gu Qingcheng reviewing documents.

  "Director Gu, sign here."

  Gu Qingcheng handed over the approved documents to Liu Yitian, "Take these documents to Fang Shu for processing, I've already instructed her by phone."

  "Yes."

  Sheng Weiwei stood at the door, "Are you done? If you're done, come with me. I won't see you off if you don't hurry up."

  Liu Yitian's gaze swept over Yang Fuxiao and Gu Qingcheng, finally landing on Sheng Weiwei's face, saying: "No need to trouble Miss Sheng to send me off, I can walk by myself."

  After more than ten minutes, Gu Qingcheng was tired and rubbed his brow, turning to Yang Fuxiao who was lying on the bed with a faint smile: "What's wrong?"

  Yang Mo Xiao smiled cleverly: "Nothing much, I think Liu Yi Tian is really very beautiful, she looks a lot like Qin Shuang, haven't you noticed?"

  Gu Qingcheng put his arm around Yang Mianxiao's waist, "I didn't notice."

  "How is that possible?" Yang Fuxiao narrowed her eyes, with an expression as if she wanted to see through Gu Qingcheng's lie. "Yang Dongliang sent Liu Yitian to you just because she looks like Qin Song, otherwise you wouldn't have accepted her."

  "I left her useful."

  Yang Mou Xiao nodded and dragged out the tone "oh" for a moment, "I see, so the useful person was me, then you thought I was useless, and that's why you replaced me with Liu Yi Tian."

  Gu Qingcheng furrowed his brow, "Don't think nonsense."

  "I'm not thinking wildly, it's obvious, unless you're a fool who can't see it, and I'm not a fool, am I?" Yang Xiao smiled and pinched Gu Qingcheng's face, "But it doesn't matter, you treat me as a pawn, I'll treat you as Xu Mochen's substitute, we're even."

  Gu Qing's eyebrows furrowed deeper as he gazed at Yang Fu Xiao's smiling face, asking: "Am I just a substitute?"

  "Mr. Gu, you asked this question a long time ago, when was it?" Yang Fu Xiao leaned against her cheek, thinking for a long time, "It seemed to be in Shanghai at that time, I didn't answer you then, now I'm answering you, yes, you are a substitute, a substitute who looks exactly like Xu Muhuang."

  Gu Qingcheng's elbows rested on Yang Fuxiao's sides, his face close to hers as their noses touched, "Finally showing the thorns on your body?"

  Yang Furong shook her head: "I've always had thorns on me, the thorns are all pointed outward and the base is inward, I couldn't possibly hurt myself, so I'll just have to put up with being bullied by President Gu."

  Gu Qingcheng's deep and somber eyes stared at Yang Fu Xiao, firmly locking onto her face.

  Yang Mu's mouth still had a smile at the corner of his lips.

  "Are you going to get angry and dump me?" Yang Fuxiao propped up her arm, "Aren't you already angry?"

  "No."

  "But you're actually quite intimidating when you narrow your eyes like that," Yang Xiao said with a smile, "I think you have a really good temper, not scary at all like the rumors outside."

  "That's because you didn't hit my weak spot."

  "What's your weakness?" Yang Xiao leaned in curiously, her finger lightly touching his lips, "Tell me, so I can be on guard against it like a landmine about to explode."

  Gu Qingcheng suddenly grabbed Yang Fuxiao's hand and pressed it to his side, then immediately, before Yang Fuxiao could react, Gu Qingcheng had already leaned in and pressed down, a heavy and lingering kiss landing on her lips, with forceful suction that left Yang Fuxiao breathless. Without thinking, she tried to push away Gu Qingcheng's chest, but it was like trying to move an unyielding steel plate, not budging by a single millimeter.

  At the moment of being kissed, Yang Xiao heard Gu Qingcheng whisper a sentence in her ear, but she was distracted by the sound coming out of her mouth and only managed to hear one or two words.

  Gu Qingcheng's phone rang, placed on the desktop, the sound rising and falling, Yang Moxiao's delicate voice spilled out from between her lips: "Go... answer the phone."

  After a long kiss, Yang Wuxiao panted heavily and hastily picked up the water on the bedside table to take two sips.

  Gu Qingcheng's phone rang for the first time, now it's the second time.

  He jumped out of bed, walked to the desk and picked up the phone.

  Yang Fuxiao leaned against the headboard, her fingers stroking her lips, gazing at the man standing by the desk, his long shadow cast by the lamp, and slightly lowered her eyelids.

  "Okay, I'll go now."

  Just a few short sentences, Gu Qingcheng hung up his phone and walked over to Yang Fuxiao's side, leaning down by her ear, "I'm going to Ye Se for a trip."

  "Why?"

  Yang Mu Xiao directly reached out and grabbed Gu Qing Cheng's wrist.

  Gu Qingcheng said: "Tina is going out tonight under the cover of darkness, and Lu Li heard about it and wants to go too. I'm afraid that if those two meet, something will happen, so I'll follow them to keep an eye on things."

  Yang brushed off the bed and said: "I'm going too."

  She had previously inquired about Qi Cheng and Tiana, and especially asked Tiana about Lu Li, but Tiana always avoided the topic. Now that she has the opportunity to meet the once-renowned young master of the Lu family, Yang Fuxiao cannot miss it.

  Gu Qingcheng stood with his arms around him by the wall, "Must you go? Are you feeling better now?"

  Yang nodded: "Okay, just going out for a walk, no strenuous exercise."

  ………………

  It was cold at night, and with the rain mixed with snow, Yang Shuoxiao wore a long down jacket that covered his entire body, completely wrapping it up, windproof, wearing a duck down hat, and wrapped in a scarf.

  Gu Qingcheng had Yang Fuxiao wait at the door and said, "I'll go get the car, you hide from the wind in here first, I'll honk the horn to call you out when I arrive."

  Yang Mo wiped away his sweat and exposed his mouth and nose, "Hm."

  Gu Qingcheng had just left to get the car, when Yang Fuxiao's phone in her pocket rang. She slightly furrowed her brow, took out the phone and saw that it was Shen Jiayou's number.

  She closed her eyes tightly and answered the phone.

  "Good advice."

  Shen Jia-yu said: "I've already made arrangements for the hot spring resort, we can go there next week and stay for a while to recuperate."

  Yang Mu Xiao felt a pang in her heart and said: "Can't you give me some more time?"

  The other end of the phone fell silent.

  Yang Mu Xiao said: "I know, it was I who asked for your help at first. Since it's my own words, I won't go back on them. Jia You, I'm truly grateful to you for helping me keep this child safe. Believe me, by the end of this month, come to Zi Jing Garden and take me away."

  Shen Jia-yu said: "Good."

  Outside came the sound of Gu Qingcheng honking the horn, Yang Fuxiao put his mobile phone back in his pocket and walked out.

  ………………

  It's getting dark and it's almost 10 o'clock at night.

  Gu Qingcheng turned around from the front of the car and opened the door for Yang Fuxiao. Yang Fuxiao crouched down and crawled out, feeling like a mobile thermos wrapped in thick down feathers, emitting dense steam everywhere.

  As soon as Yang Xiao walked out of the car, Gu Qingcheng covered his head with a down hat from behind to block the wind, "Hey!"

  Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Bufei's hand and walked inside, the one leading the way was not Ah Lu, but another short man who bowed and said: "Boss, it was Ah Lu sister who asked me to come over."

  After a long corridor, Gu Qingcheng and Yang Duanxiao followed the person to the door of a private room.

  Before he could even turn the door handle, a loud crashing sound came from inside, like the shattering of a wine glass hitting the floor. Gu Qingcheng directly turned the door handle.

  Yang Fuxiao was also shocked in his heart, wasn't it Lu Li who had beaten Tiana?

  Then the little one behind also followed in.

  Yang Wenshuo looked over and saw that A Lu was holding a wine glass, while in front of her stood a tall man with an air of nobility about him. His features were not as rugged as Gu Qingcheng's, and he wore rimless glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, the lenses reflecting the light from above and giving off a soft glow. At his feet was a shattered red wine bottle, and his shiny leather shoes were stained with some color.

  The man looked outside and opened the door, and a large number of people rushed in. He withdrew his hand, smiled, "Not really, so much fuss," he turned to Gu Qingcheng, "Sorry, Ah Cheng, I just spilled wine when I poured it, and broke one of your famous wines."

  Ah Lu took two steps back, placed the wine glass with a little crimson liquid on the tea table behind her, and beckoned someone to come over to sweep up the broken glass on the floor. In less than a minute, it was cleaned up, and the two people walked out.

  The night was warm and cozy, Yang Xiao was now wrapped in a bundle, naturally it was very hot, he raised his hand and untied the scarf, throwing it to Gu Qingcheng beside him.

  Gu Qingcheng took the scarf and hung it on the coat rack, then turned around to help Yang Moxiao unbutton her clothes and serve her to take off her down jacket.

  Lu Li let out a "yo" and said, "I'm also burning up, who's going to come over and help me take off this big coat?"

  Gu Qingcheng hung Yang Fuxiao's thick down jacket on the clothes rack, turned around, and slightly bent over to face Yang Fuxiao sideways.

  Yang Mo Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and turned around, tiptoeing to peck him on the cheek, "Thanks for your hard work."

  Gu Qingcheng turned around and introduced: "Feng Xiao, this is Lu Li."

  Yang Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Lu, I'm Yang Fu Xiao."

  She thought Tina was also coming, but now it seems that Tina is not here. On the contrary, Lu Li and Gu Qingcheng seem to have something to say. She knows that men's affairs are generally not to be interfered with by women, so she quietly sits on the side, holding the fruit plate that Ah Green had someone bring in, eating the fruit inside.

  Gu Qingcheng asked: "Where is Tina?"

  "Suyan didn't come, so you didn't have to rush over in the middle of the night, we didn't even meet," Ludi said, "She had already left from behind before I arrived."

  Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. "You never really wanted to meet her, if you did, you would have found someone to block her way. It's not like it's hard for you to do so."

  Lü Li raised her eyelids, and there was no smile on her face: "No, I don't have many people at my disposal. Compared to the original Lü family, it's not even worth mentioning. Moreover, Su Yan is doing things for that person, so she must..."

  Bang!

  Gu Qingcheng turned his face to look over, and Yang Fuxiao's fruit tray was directly overturned on the ground.

  Yang Mu Xiao smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, my hand slipped."

  If Tina wasn't there, Yang Wudi would be a woman listening to two men talking, which is actually very boring.

  However, it wasn't until Gu Qingcheng went out to answer the phone that Lu Li turned around and looked at Yang Fuxiao: "He seems to care about you a lot."

  Yang Mu smiled politely: "Oh, I think he's pretty good to me too."

  Lu Di and others are all good friends of Gu Qingcheng. It's better for good friends not to provoke each other, so as to avoid being caught in a painful situation.

  Yang Mo Xiao felt a bit sleepy, so he hid on the single sofa and flipped through an entertainment magazine beside him.

  Gu Qingcheng answered the phone on the balcony and came in, saying to Lu Li: "Just now Mengzi called and said that Pei San will be back from the US after a while. There are some family matters to deal with."

  "With a flash of his eyes: 'Then let's take some time to get together, I haven't seen Pei San in several years either.'"

  Gu Qingcheng glanced at Yang Fuxiao, who happened to be yawning and covering her mouth with her palm. He stood up, walked over to the coat rack, took down his coat, and said to Lu Li: "If you want to stay overnight here tonight, ask A Green to arrange it, I'm going back first."

  As he spoke, Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Biao up from the sofa, rewrapped her in a thick down jacket, and they went out together.

  Ludi sat on the sofa and picked up the magazine that Yang Chao had just put down, flipping through a couple of pages casually.

  A Lu immediately walked in, "Mr. Lu, is there anything you need?"

  Lu Li shook her head, gazing at the two figures disappearing at the door, then raised her eyes to scan Ah Lu's beautiful face and asked: "Do you think your master can go all the way with her?"

  A Lu didn't say anything.

  Some things can't be said in front of people, so don't say them behind their backs either.

  What's more, someone in her awkward position now.

  Lu Li stood up and looked at Ah Lu, "If Su Yan comes next time, remember to call me."

  Coming out of the warm night, a cold wind blew, and indeed, the hairs on his body felt standing up. Gu Qingcheng exchanged positions with Yang Fuxiao beside him, blocking the wind direction, waiting for Dong Zhe to drive over.

  Yang Mu Xiao raised her eyes and looked at Gu Qing Cheng: "Gu Qing Cheng."

  "Uh-huh."

  The neon lights in front of the night scenery cast a dazzling glow on the ground, Yang Shuoxiao leaned against Gu Qingcheng's side and asked: "Gu Dada, can you tell me all about your affairs?"

  "What's wrong?"

  "Your entire business."

  "You're very greedy."

  "Heh, yeah, every woman is greedy, I want to enter your heart and take a look," Yang Xiao turned sideways, reached out and tapped on Gu Qingcheng's chest, "Take a look at how many women are inside, where I rank, take a look at whether you're truly good to me or if it's because of someone else's entrustment."

  Gu Qingcheng lowered his eyebrows and stared at Yang Fuxiao, with a deep shadow on his face. The cold wind blew across his face, giving him a slightly painful feeling.

  Yang brushed off the dawn with a smile, "You said that businessmen value profit and must let them see the benefits. I will not let you lose money. I also have a secret to exchange with you, and you will definitely think it's worth more than what you paid for."

  Gu Qingcheng's gaze swept over Yang Fuxiao's small face under the snow hat, Dong Zhe's car stopped in front of him, he opened the door for Yang Fuxiao, "It's cold outside, get in."

  Yang Fu Xiao knew that this was equivalent to refusing.

  She got on the bus and turned her head to take a glance at the crimson light, then silently closed her eyes.

  ………………

  Yang Mianxiao had been sleeping a lot lately. She knew in her heart that it was because of pregnancy, but fortunately there was no morning sickness, otherwise it would be even harder to explain.

  Two days later, it was the day to go to the hospital for a re-examination. Gu Qingcheng didn't have time that day, so Sheng Weiwei accompanied her instead. The person who received them at the hospital was Liang Jinmo.

  Liang Jinmo put aside his work at the clinic and came to the hospital, where Dr. Shen Jiaoyu's colleague was re-examining Yang Fuxiao. The doctor said: "It has been treated very well, pay attention to recent dietary restrictions, do not eat spicy food, and also avoid sex for a month..."

  The doctor instructed a lot, Yang Fuxiao nodded continuously, and was also afraid that Liang Jinmo behind him would hear the abnormality.

  Liang Jinmo sent Yang Fuxiao and Sheng Weiwei out of the hospital. "I've already called Gu Qingcheng."

  "Thank you."

  At the hospital entrance, when blocking the car, Gu Qingcheng's car was one step slower, and it happened to meet Shen Jiayou's car.

  "What's going on?"

  Yang Mu Xiao was slightly surprised, looking at Shen Jia Yu who walked out of the car, and also Yu Ming Xiu who followed closely behind.

  Shen Jia-yu smiled: "I'm here to accompany my mom, who's giving a lecture at the hospital. My mom is an honorary dean here."

  Yang Mu Xiao: "......"

  He suddenly knew why it was so smooth when he asked Shen Jiayou before, even if they met today, the doctor and nurse didn't ask any extra questions.

  "Aunt is good."

  Yang Furong slightly bowed her head and Yu Mingxiao patted her shoulder, "Come to the hospital for a check-up?"

  She was just thinking of how to respond when Sheng Weiwei on the side successfully rescued her: "It's no good, dawn is breaking, I'm going to have diarrhea again, I'm dizzy, I feel nauseous and want to vomit, let's hurry up and leave."

  Yang Mu Xiao gave Yu Ming Xiu an embarrassed smile: "I'm accompanying a friend to see the doctor."

  Sheng Weiwei tightly grabbed Yang Moxiao's arm and pulled him away, after saying goodbye, Yang Moxiao was forcibly dragged away.

  Yu Mingxu frowned, "Whose daughter is she? She doesn't have any manners at all."

  Shen Jia-yu placed a hand on Yu Ming-xiu's elbow, "It's the young lady of the Sheng family from Macau, Sheng Wei-wei, she's here to see my second brother."

  Yu Mingxu's eyebrows furrowed again, "Sheng family?"

  Yu Mingxiu had been living abroad before and only returned after hearing about his son Shen Jiayou's marriage. Having not been in touch with domestic affairs for many years, his understanding of some wealthy families was still stuck at the level of ten years ago.

  "Uh-huh," Shen Jia-yu said, "Let's go, the lecture is about to start."

  ………………

  At the end of the month, came the first heavy snow of a bitterly cold winter.

  Yang Fuxiao pulled open the curtains and gazed at the large flakes of snow falling from the sky, the trees outside were covered in a layer of ice. She directly opened the window, scooped up a big pile of snow from the windowsill, and made three large snowballs. Hearing a noise behind her, she turned around and threw the snowballs at the figure, hitting Gu Qingcheng's shoulder. The clean snowflakes fell to the ground with a soft thud, Yang Fuxiao laughed happily.

  Gu Qingcheng sighed, "It's cold outside, come in quickly."

  Yang Fu Xiao immediately turned around and threw two more snowballs at him. The last one coincidentally hit Gu Qing Cheng's face, the snowball shattered on the ground, and as a result, Gu Qing Cheng's eyebrows were still covered with snow.

  She smiled, turned around and carefully closed the window, ran over with small steps, and used her hand to wipe away the snow on Gu Qingcheng's face.

  "Aren't you angry?"

  Gu Qingcheng took Yang Muxiao's icy hand and turned around to directly place a cup of hot water in her palm, "No. Auntie Li has cooked the meal, come down to eat."

  After dinner, Yang Xiao stayed at home while Gu Qingcheng went to work.

  Yang Mo Xiao saw off Gu Qing Cheng to the door, reached out and hooked his neck, and sent his lips over to print a kiss on his: "Don't I need to go to work?"

  "Turn around and go back home, it's too cold outside, take good care of yourself."

  Yang Fuxiao's heart skipped a beat as she almost misheard Gu Qingcheng's words as "nourishing the fetus".

  She stood at the door, looking like a little wife, watching Gu Qingcheng's figure leave, to the elevator in front, the elevator door opened, she raised her hand and waved twice, calling out: "Gu Qingcheng!"

  Gu Qingcheng turned his head around.

  Yang said: "Drive carefully!"

  It was almost noon when Yang Fuxiao returned to the room, opened the drawer, gathered some important things, and placed a photo of her and Gu Qingcheng lying on the bed on the table. She looked at it for a long time until her phone rang on the side, and she pressed the answer button and put it on speakerphone.

  Right away, Shen Jia-yu's voice came from the receiver: "I'm already at the entrance of Zi Jing Garden."

  "Alright, I'll go down now."

  Before leaving, Yang Xiaodong took a look at the very ugly dark green hand warmer on her bedside table. Because it was too big, she couldn't pack it in her bag, so she left it on the bedside table, with its mouth open like it was mocking her.

  Yang Fuxiao wore a thick down jacket, carrying a small bag, wrapped very tightly, only revealing a pair of shiny black eyes.

  Sheng Weiwei was watching a horror movie, hugging an oversized pillow, her face twisted in fear. Just as Yang Fuxiao walked past the living room, she suddenly covered her ears and eyes, "Ahhhhh, help me turn it off! I'm scared to death!"

  Yang Mu Xiao: "......"

  Yang Fuxiao helped Sheng Weiwei adjust a stand with one hand, "Done."

  She slightly opened her eyes with her fingers covering them and said, "Oh, yeah, you're going out?"

  Yang Duoxiao nodded: "Mm, I've made an appointment with Meng Xi to go shopping at the mall. Don't make dinner for me, I'll be back later."

  "Ah."

  Sheng Weiwei didn't particularly like Meng Xi, so she simply didn't mention going out shopping with her.

  When she reached the entrance, Yang Xiao saw a car parked by the side of the road, which was not the one Shen Jia-yu usually drove.

  Through the fluttering snowflakes, Yang Fuxiao saw Shen Jiayou sitting in the driver's seat and walked to the front passenger side, opening the car door.

  After Yang Mo's car landed, Shen Jia-yu stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly drove away, leaving tire tracks on the freshly fallen snow.

  "Tonight's snow is too heavy, let's go to the hot spring resort in two days."

  "Okay."

  Yang brushed off the dawn, wiped the misty fog on the glass window with his hand, and looked at the snowflakes flying outside.

  Really beautiful.

  ………………

  All day long.

  Before returning to the Zijing Garden, Gu Qingcheng bought a bouquet of pink roses for Yang Moxiao. Upon entering the garden, he was met with the sight of Sheng Weiwei pacing anxiously back and forth like an ant.

  "Gu Qingcheng, I'm done for, I lost Dawn."

  Gu Qingcheng's movements paused for a moment, his calm and cold eyes looking at Sheng Weiwei: "What's interesting?"

  "At noon, Yang Wu said he was going out with Meng Xi, and they would have dinner together before coming back. But until now, he still hasn't come back," Sheng said. "I just called Meng Xi, and she said she didn't see Yang Wu at all today."

  Gu Qingcheng's hand dropped the bouquet of flowers at the same time he heard Sheng Weiwei's words, and the rose petals fell to the ground with a rustling sound, as if they had been shattered in an instant.

  He grabbed the car keys again and rushed out, with Sheng Wei tightly following behind him.

  Gu Qingcheng took out his mobile phone and made a call, with only one sentence: "Where is Miss Yang?"

  "Just now it seemed like I was eating outside with Shen San Shao and returned to the Shen's house."

  These two people are sent by Gu Qingcheng to follow and protect Yang Muxue, but it does not involve personal freedom.

  Heavy snowflakes danced around, Gu Qingcheng stood in a snowy field, with a dense and heavy color between his eyebrows.

  Sheng Weiwei put on the hat behind her jacket, it was a bit windy, she felt like she needed to shout out loud for Gu Qingcheng to hear: "Hey! Where did Fucha go?"

  Gu Qingcheng didn't respond and stood still like a sculpture.

  Sheng Weiwei thought that Gu Qingcheng hadn't heard her own words, so she shouted again in a louder voice. As a result, this shout actually startled Gu Qingcheng.

  Gu Qingcheng turned around and walked straight towards his car, opened the door and got in.

  Sheng Wei suddenly understood that he was going to drive to find Yang Muxiao, and hurriedly followed him up.

  The car is moving slowly because of the heavy snowfall, which is fluttering and floating in the air.

  Fifteen minutes later, Gu Qingcheng's car stopped in front of the Shen family's mansion.

  She slightly lowered the car window, and delicate snowflakes floated in from the opening. She murmured a sentence: "Will we arrive at the Shen's place by dawn?"

  Gu Qingcheng had already dialed Yang Fuxiao's mobile phone number.

  The mobile phone rang and was answered just in time.

  The man's voice was icy and piercing, dispersed by the cold wind that blew in through a slit.

  "Come out now."
