The coldness of the ice reduced the burning pain and made her feel much better.
But seeing Fu Hanzheng’s face, she felt a bit annoyed.
“In a couple of days it will be better, so don’t worry.”
However, Fu Hanzheng was not appeased by her words.
He put the ice cubes on her for ten minutes before applying the ointment over the wound.
“Feeling better now?”
“Much better.” Gu Weiwei nodded with a smile.
Fu Hanzheng checked the time. “The birthday banquet should start soon, so we will leave soon.”
It was boring for him to stay at this banquet.
Gu Weiwei pointed out the issue with this plan. At this moment, Youyou was about to fall asleep and soon, so would Tiantian.
If they did not go home now, they would both fall asleep and it would be a problem to wake them up.
Fu Hanzheng did not want to go out before dinner, so he sat down with her. He thought that when the banquet started later, they could go home when everyone was halfway through eating.
The two of them sat for a dozen minutes alone, before the birthday banquet was announced.
Fu Hanzheng took hold of Gu Weiwei’s hands and they were about to take their seats, when Yuan Meng came in with her phone.
“Here, Keiko is calling you.”
Gu Weiwei took the phone and asked Fu Hanzheng to leave first, whilst she answered the call in the dining room.
“What is it, Keiko?”
Hearing her voice, Kuroda Keiko said with a gentle voice, “Weiwei, I am going back to Japan.”
Gu Weiwei was surprised. “Now?”
Wasn’t she supposed to see her off in a couple of days? Why was she leaving now?
And she had to catch the overnight flight.
“Yes, something urgent has come up at home, so I need to go home now,” Kuroda Keiko said.
Hearing that something was happening at home, Gu Weiwei did not ask her to stay.
“Are you leaving now?”
If they had left earlier, she and Fu Hanzheng would have been able to say goodbye to Keiko.
“I’m on my way, but I truly have left in a hurry and didn’t have time to say goodbye to you.”
Gu Weiwei sighed regretfully. “Then be careful.”
She thought that after this separation, she and Keiko might not be able to meet again.
“Okay,” Kuroda Keiko answered and said after a moment of silence, “Weiwei, I wish you and Fu Hanzheng happiness, happiness for an entire lifetime.”
“Thanks.” Gu Weiwei thanked her with a smile and said with a heavy heart, “Goodbye, Keiko.”
Kuroda Keiko stayed silent for a moment and said, “Goodbye, Weiwei.”
She ended the call, returned to the banquet site and sat down next to Fu Hanzheng.
“What is it, why did she call you?” Fu Hanzheng asked with a low voice.
Gu Weiwei sighed. “Something has come up at Keiko’s home, so she has to go back to Japan. She called me to let me know and say goodbye.”
Fu Hanzheng nodded and did not ask anything more.
Gu Weiwei threw a look at Mrs. Fu and Fu Shengying and found that Fu Shiqin was holding Tiantian but Youyou wasn’t with them.
“Aunt, where is Youyou?”
“This boy fell asleep, so I asked the nursery teacher to keep watch in Qin Man’s room so that he can sleep for a while,” Mrs. Fu said.
Gu Weiwei smiled helplessly. This boy woke up at six in the morning and only slept for a short while in the afternoon. No wonder he was feeling sleepy now.
But the birthday banquet was about to start, so she couldn’t go home with him in her arms.
But if he kept sleeping for a long time, he would not be able to take a bath tonight.
