This conversation ended unhappily.
At night, the two of them switched off the lights and went to sleep. One of them occupied one side of the bed, and there was a huge empty space in the middle.
Gong Jue was deliberately cold towards her.
On the other hand, she was happy to have peace and quiet. Without anyone disturbing her, she slept very well.
However…
In the middle of the night, a tall and warm figure took the initiative to approach her.
His big palm was like a small stove as it rested on her cold abdomen, gently transmitting warm energy.
Even the sleeping Gu Qiqi couldn’t help but murmur in comfort.
“Disobedient little demon…”
In her daze, she seemed to hear someone whisper and sigh.
Who was it?
Was that b*stard Bai Lang still holding a grudge against her in his dream?
At daybreak, Gu Qiqi abruptly opened her eyes.
The bed was empty.
For the next few days, the research base was especially busy.
According to Special Assistant Lu, the laboratory was going to hold a big exhibition of scientific research products. After Gong Jue finished inspecting this research exhibition, the work in Qing Cheng temporarily came to an end and he returned to the Imperial Capital.
However, the event was originally scheduled to be a national day.
For some reason, Gong Jue suddenly ordered them to settle it by the 1st of September.
This made everyone panic!
The big exhibition was something that all the researchers and research and development cutting-edge products had to participate in. Just the rehearsals alone would take several days to coordinate and command.
What’s more, the Gong clan was most proficient in intelligent robot products. They even had to organize a few teams to compete… In short, it was an especially complicated matter.
However, Gu Qiqi was very happy when everyone got busy.
As Gong Jue and Bai Lang became busy as well, she rarely saw their figures anymore.
No one mentioned anything to her again about giving up on studying medicine. This irritating topic.
But occasionally, Special Assistant Lu would knock on the door and bring in a big bag of women’s sanitary products with a red face. Or, he would bring in a bowl of soup to replenish blood. This made her feel a little awkward.
Most of the time, she spent her time in her room studying the skills to identify poisons and trying her best to collect color points.
The next hundred thousand points were about to be filled.
On this day, she was searching for a special plane ticket to the Imperial Capital on the Internet.
She looked at the takeoff times. One was early in the morning and the other was in the evening.
She thought for a while and decided to seek Xiaobei’s opinion.
When she called the nursing home, she received a piece of shocking news!
“Auntie Liu, please let my younger brother answer the call. Thank you.”
“Your younger brother? Gu Xiaobei? Didn’t he leave long ago?”
“What? Left?”
“That’s right. Someone from your family came to fetch him.”
Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat. A strong sense of foreboding washed over her. “Who picked him up?”
“Let me think… Didn’t you come to see him with your classmates that day? After you left, your relatives came to fetch you.”
“Who exactly is it?”
“Hey, how would I know who it is? Anyway, they have your father, Gu Qiushan’s letter of commission.”
“That letter of appointment was fake! Gu Qiushan and I have already broken off our relationship and it’s already been reported. Xiaobei’s custody is in my hands. No one else has the right to do so!” Gu Qiqi was anxious.
“How would we know? We don’t watch television or read newspapers here, okay? Besides, Xiaobei knows them too. He’s not a child anymore. Could it be that he can still be kidnapped? Your family sure is troublesome. There’s so much trouble. Isn’t it annoying? How much work do you want to increase for us…”
That auntie started complaining about Gu Qiqi instead. She didn’t remember how happy she was when she took the red packet back then.
Gu Qiqi gnashed her teeth. She knew that it was useless to talk to this kind of shameless woman. She hung up the call directly and paced around the room in contemplation.
The Gu family was already in a mess in Qing Cheng.
Apart from Gu Meifeng, she couldn’t think of any other possibility to lay a hand on Xiaobei.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Gu Meifeng, if you dare to lay a finger on Xiaobei, I’ll skin you alive!
