“Hmm?” Only then did Gu Yu snap out of his reverie.””Oh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about the past when we first met. By the way, I think I heard you on the phone just now. Who’s calling so late at night?” Gu Quan suddenly asked about this matter.
“Oh … Nothing. It’s just that Ziming … He …” Ji ruikun subconsciously adjusted his glasses as he stammered.
“Ziming? It’s already so late; why is he calling? did something happen between him and her?” Gu Yu got to the bottom of it.
“Don’t think too much. He … He just called to ask about us and the children. He probably misses us or the child. After a while, let’s find a time to go back and take a look. ” Ji ruikun avoided the topic.
“En, you’re right. I haven’t been back in a long time. Alright, rest early after you finish replying to your emails. I’ll go back to my room first.” Gu mo helped Ji ruikun tidy up his blanket and collar again. Ji ruikun gave her a goodnight kiss on the cheek and she left the study with a heavy heart.
That night, Ji ruikun was not in the mood to deal with his emails. He stared blankly at the dark night sky in the study room, letting the past reemerge in his mind …
When Gu mo returned to his room, he recalled Ji ruikun’s stammering expression and felt that he seemed to be hiding something from him. Coupled with his abnormal behavior while working on the game, Gu mo decided to call Ji Ziming early in the morning.
“Ziming, are you busy? I’m your mother. ” Gu mo tried her best not to let Ji Ziming notice her doubts. She loved him and could not bear to let him get hurt even a little. If Ji ruikun really did something to let her and her son down, she would silently bear it.
“Mother, it’s so late. Are you still awake?” Unable to fall asleep, he quickly picked up the call, thinking that it was from his father.
“Oh, just now … I think I heard you talking to your father on the phone. I was curious, but when I asked your father, he didn’t say anything. That’s why I want to know if something happened to you. I’m afraid that you’re hiding something from me. Besides, your father acted out of character at the fellowship Party today. I can’t control my curiosity, so Ziming, tell me the truth. What’s the matter?” Gu mo explained everything to the man.
“Ha, mother, father must’ve told you that there’s nothing wrong. Actually, it’s really nothing. I’m just asking if you’re doing well over there, as well as Anan and the others, so don’t think too much about it. When you have time, you should come back to see us. ” Ji Ziming consoled Gu Quan. He knew that his father would not tell his mother the truth about Shen Feng’s background so that her mother would not let her imagination run wild.
“Son, are you also going to play dumb for your father? If you do this, I’ll be very sad. ” Gu Yu still could not suppress his curiosity.
“It’s true, mother. Just live well with father and Anan. Even if the sky falls, we’ll be there, okay? Don’t make me worry. It’s really very late over there. You and father should rest early. ” The man still did not relent.
“Alright then, I’m an old woman anyway, no one will really replace me. I’ll make some arrangements and come back to visit you guys. By the way, PEI GE … How are things between you two?” Gu Yu suddenly remembered and continued to ask.
“Mother, don’t worry; PEI GE and I are doing fine. When you’re back, we have a surprise to tell you and father.” Ji Ziming thought that once they returned to the country, he should have dealt with Shen Feng and brought PEI GE back to his side. PEI GE’s child would probably be able to further improve their relationship.
“Surprise? Was he that mysterious? Alright, since none of you want to tell me, I’ll give up. I’m going to sleep now. Take care of your health and eat on time. ” Gu Yu did not forget to remind her.
“I know, mother. Good night, love you!” He then hung up.
Hearing the “toot” sound, Gu Quan sighed. Ji Rui kun still had not returned to his room. She also tossed and turned and just like that, she entered Dreamland with uneasiness.
The next morning, Charles, who was strolling on the lawn, saw Gu Yu and greeted her.
“Morning! Mrs. Ji. ” Charles asked with a smile as he arranged the flowers.
“Morning, count Charles.” Gu Yu yawned after responding.
“What’s wrong?”Charles asked with concern. Did Madam Ji not rest well last night? Are you too tired from the fellowship Party?”
“Oh, I think so,” Gu Yu replied with a smile.”I slept late last night.” Gu mo recalled that Charles was usually close to Ji ruikun when it came to work, so he immediately perked up and asked,””By the way, Charles, have you felt that Rui kun has been acting a little mysterious or abnormal these few days?”
“Oh?” Charles looked puzzled.”Mrs. Ji, are you talking about Mr. Ji’s uncharacteristic behavior at the social gathering last night?” Later on, I heard from those young people that this … It shouldn’t be anything abnormal, right? I just couldn’t help but want to confess to you and express my love. ”
Seeing Gu Yu’s disbelieving expression, he gestured to Gu Yu to look at the flowers beside him and explained,””Human emotions may sometimes be like these flowers. At a certain time, they will bloom and emit a fragrance. Last night’s romantic scene was also the result of the feelings you and Mr. Ji have accumulated over the years. You’ve finally seen the light of day, right? don’t think too much about it. It was just a natural reaction. ”
“Is that so?” Gu Yu was still frowning at Charles. He made these flowers.
“Love is an accumulation, and so is not love. If you have any doubts, you should ask Mr. Ji yourself.” Charles was even more mysterious.
Gu mo grumbled softly,”Aiya! I only asked you guys because I couldn’t get anything out of you. Who knew you’d be like Ziming? playing dumb with me.” Alright, I’ll figure it out myself. You can continue to fiddle with your flowers and plants. ” After saying that, she left the garden.
“Ha, Mrs. Ji is really a genuine person!” Charles sighed as he looked at her back. He couldn’t help but shake his head and bend down to continue. He picked up the flowers.
When he arrived at the study, Gu mo saw Ji ruikun sleeping with his head buried in the table.
As he walked closer, he exclaimed,”my God!” I thought you woke up early to play golf. Ruikun, did you sleep here last night?”
