Zuo Weiyi did not raise her head, but under the sunglasses, her clear eyes looked a little guilty. “It’s nothing.”
Gu Yansheng’s frown deepened.
It made sense if she was wearing the sunglasses due to the sun outside. But now that they were indoors, there shouldn’t be a need for her to wear it anymore.
A possibility suddenly flashed through Gu Yansheng’s mind.
He walked over and took the sunglasses off her face, catching her off guard.
Zuo Weiyi raised her head and was about to snatch the sunglasses back from him. “What are you doing? Give it back to me now!”
When he took off the sunglasses, Gu Yansheng immediately noticed that her eyes were slightly red and swollen. He frowned again.
He raised the sunglasses higher in his hand. He wanted to make her stand up.
As expected, in order to get her sunglasses back, Zuo Weiyi stood up and grabbed his arm in an attempt to get the sunglasses back.
“Yansheng, give it back to me!”
“Did he go home last night?”
If Shi Yuting had not done something to her and just went back, her eyes would not be swollen like this. It was obvious that she had cried the whole night.
The words he blurted out made her stop reaching for the sunglasses.
She simply turned around and ignored the sunglasses. She sat down and continued to massage Shen Lanzhi.
Gu Yansheng looked at her and only spoke after a long while. His black eyes flashed with heartache for her. “Weiyi, why don’t you just come back to Country Z with me?”
Zuo Weiyi stopped her mid-massage when she heard that. After half a second, she continued, “I already told you, I won’t leave until my mother wakes up.”
“But she’ll always be like that.”
“Yansheng, if you keep on like this, I’ll have to ask you to leave.” She made herself clear calmly.
Gu Yansheng looked at her and did not speak. Instead, he chose to sit on the side and quietly watched her give Shen Lanzhi a massage.
He looked at the time. It was already eleven in the morning.
“I’m going to the bathroom.” Since there were two women in this ward, Gu Yansheng couldn’t use the one in the room, so he got up and went to the public bathroom outside.
After the door was closed, Zuo Weiyi turned her head and looked at Shen Lanzhi on the bed. She pursed her lips and chatted with her as usual.
“Mother… I’m going to give the baby a checkup in the afternoon. Recently, I’ve been throwing up a lot. I don’t know if he’s causing trouble in my stomach,” she said calmly while pressing on Shen Lanzhi’s hand. Her face looked slightly haggard, but there was no reaction otherwise.
“Who do you think he’ll look like after he’s born? Will he look more like me, or will he look more like-?”
The words ‘Shi Yuting’ were stuck in her throat. She went pale and only managed to force out a faint smile after a long while.
“I’m really looking forward to his appearance when he’s born. When will you wake up, to hold him and let him call you ‘grandma’…
“You’re also looking forward to the birth of this baby, right?” She vaguely remembered that on the day before the New Year, Shen Lanzhi noticed that she did not look well and thought that she was pregnant.
At that time, she did not remember when she was last on her period, so she answered that she was not pregnant. And she clearly saw the disappointment in Shen Lanzhi’s eyes after she heard her answer. It was obvious, she had hoped that she could get pregnant as soon as possible.
Then, this happened, as if the joy came a little too quickly.
The door of the ward opened again. Zuo Weiyi knew that Gu Yansheng had returned, so she did not speak anymore.
