Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C23
The car suddenly stopped. Shen Xingyue turned around and looked at Gu Luocheng with a puzzled expression, “What’s wrong?”
After recovering from his shock, the corners of his eyes twitched as he regained his composure, “It’s alright, something went in his eyes just now. Let’s go.” He started the car and drove slowly forward.
He looked suspiciously at Gu Luocheng, not asking any further questions. However, there was still a trace of doubt in his mind. Ever since he met Gu Luocheng, he had never seen his panicked expression before.
“Xingyue, I’m a bit tired. I need to rest first. You should go to bed early as well.” He returned to his apartment, gave a simple explanation, and then quickly walked upstairs.
After damaging the door, he immediately took out his cell phone and broadcasted a number that was already etched in his mind. “Where are you now?” Without waiting for the other party’s reaction, he asked anxiously.
“It’s in the United States. What’s the matter, Mr. Gu?” The man on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned. After recovering for a while, he answered with a lack of confidence.
He coldly smiled and actually lied to himself, “But why did I see you on the streets of Spring City today? “Don’t tell me you’re hallucinating. You were the one who took him back to China.” His tone was filled with anger.
When he saw that tiny figure on the street, he felt the blood in his entire body instantly flow backwards. Suddenly, he remembered the photo in the mail a few days ago and instantly understood what was going on.
“Mr. Gu, sorry, it’s Little Treasure, he …” Before he could finish, a pair of young hands snatched the phone away.
“Dad, I know you must have missed me, so that’s why I’m here to create a surprise for you. “Well, are you happy?” Although the voice was still young and tender, it sounded like an adult’s voice.
He rubbed his temples with a helpless look on his face. “Get Amin to buy you the nearest ticket. Go home immediately and be good. Wait a while longer, and Dad will go and bring you back.”
“I don’t want to, I want to stay here. Daddy, I haven’t seen you yet, why don’t you come and see me? Give me some good food along the way, it’s settled. Goodbye daddy.” After saying that in a hurry, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the time, he shook his head and picked up the car keys. No matter what, he couldn’t let Xiaobao continue to stay here. He still hadn’t figured out Shen Xingyue’s intentions, so he couldn’t let her know of Xiaobao’s existence.
After buying a bunch of food and toys, he drove around the city and arrived at his destination using the address sent by Little Treasure. Just as he stood at the door, the door opened and a figure that was filled with his own thoughts stood at the door as he raised his head and giggled.
“Dad, you’re here.” Gu Xiaobao was leaning against the window. When he saw Gu Luocheng’s car appear outside the hotel, he quickly ran to the entrance.
Seeing that young and tender face that still had baby fat on it, the anger in his heart was gradually quelled. He squatted down and pretended to be angry, “Why are you not obedient?”
“I missed you.” Tears instantly lingered in his eyes as he looked grievingly at Gu Luocheng, because he knew that as long as he pretended to look like that, his heart would definitely ache so much that he wouldn’t talk about himself anymore.
He looked at Gu Xiaobao’s pitiful appearance and couldn’t bear to say anything more. He pulled Gu Xiaobao’s small body into his embrace and patted it gently. His voice also became much softer.
Carrying Gu Xiaobao, he entered the room. The butler, Ah Ming, was busy packing up their belongings. “Mr. Gu.” When he saw Gu Luocheng appear, he quickly put down the things in his hand and stood modestly by the side. “Sorry, I …”
He waved his hand and stopped Amin from continuing. “Have you booked your plane ticket?” Sitting on the sofa, he arranged the items for Little Treasure and asked expressionlessly.
Little Treasure ate earnestly and stood up. He glanced at Ah Ming and walked towards the balcony. “I don’t hope for this kind of thing to happen again.” His tone was calm and irresistible, and under the shroud of darkness, his entire body emitted a vicious aura.
Behind him, Ah Ming’s body was trembling like a sieve. “Please be at ease, Mr. Gu. Such a thing will never happen again.” Previously, when Gu Luocheng had run into a wall and no one was willing to hire him, he had brought him from China to the United States with a high salary. But now, he had let him down.
“I can’t blame you this time. Little Treasure is too arrogant, so I’m making things difficult for you.” Hold on for a little longer. Once I’ve settled this matter, I’ll immediately take him over. ” Gu Luocheng turned around and calmed Ah Ming down.
Hearing Gu Luocheng’s words, Ah Ming quickly waved his hands, opened his eyes wide, and explained anxiously, “Big Brother Gu, I promise I won’t make any more mistakes in the future. Don’t leave me behind.” It wasn’t easy for him to find a relatively safe job. Furthermore, Boss Gu had always been good to him. This kind of opportunity might never come again.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, “I didn’t say I’d fire you. When I bring Xiaobao over, you can go directly to the company to report. But you have to be careful during this period. Once Xiaobao’s identity is found out, it will be very troublesome.”
He patted Amin on the shoulder heavily and walked out of the balcony. Currently, other than his brothers, no one else knew of Little Treasure’s existence. However, once the Gu family discovered this child, everything would not be as peaceful as it was now.
“Little Treasure, obediently go back with Brother Ah Ming tomorrow. I’ll bring you back after dad finishes his work.” Her tone was amiable and her face was full of smiles.
“Daddy, did you find Mommy, but she doesn’t know I exist yet?” He put down the food in his hands, blinked his long eyelashes, and stared at Gu Luocheng with wide eyes.
Although Gu Xiaobao was only five years old, his IQ was much higher than most of his peers. At such a young age, he was already able to easily master the hacking technique.
He was slightly surprised for a moment and then smiled, “That’s right, but didn’t we agree to give her a surprise? So, you have to wait a bit longer.”
“Alright, I’ll come see her when mom is ready.” He nodded obediently and started to eat the food in front of him without asking any further questions.
After leaving the hotel, he got into the car and dialed Meng Feng’s number, “Old place, waiting for you.” Without waiting for a reply, he hung up.
Sitting in the bar, he lightly printed the rum in his glass and watched the singers quietly playing and singing downstairs, temporarily clearing his mind.
Starting from tomorrow, Gu Chen Yang would be working under his hand. Moreover, the old man had instructed that it would be best for him to stay by his side, rather than having it too easy.
He’d thought about it all day, but still hadn’t been able to guess the old tutor’s thoughts. He still didn’t understand the meaning behind his arrangements. If he was to have Gu Chen Yang monitor him, then perhaps he was the most unsuitable candidate because he would never believe him. But other than that, what other reason could he have?
