1787 Not a Birthday
Although Gu Siting had received the results he had been looking forward to for years, yet in order not to arouse Gu Weiwei’s suspicion, no matter if he was going to the company or coming home himself, he would always keep her by his side.
She was not allowed to go online or contact anyone apart from himself and Kuroda Shio.
Gu Weiwei had asked him to buy a new phone for her several times, but Gu Siting turned her down, so she did not mention anything about it anymore.
Within a few days, Gu Siting’s birthday arrived. Of course, it was not really Gu Siting’s birthday, but what Gu Weiwei remembered as being his birthday.
After Gu Siting finished work, he took her back to the hillside villa where Mrs. Gu and Grandpa Gu lived.
The moment she entered the apartment, Gu Weiwei could not wait to find Mrs. Gu, but failed.
“Where are Mother Gu and Grandpa?”
“I heard that Grandpa was not feeling well and so he went to the hospital.” Gu Siting lied calmly.
Although she seemed to have gone back to the year before she went to Hua Land, yet Fu Hanzheng was still around, and he could not take the risk of bringing his mother and grandfather back.
After all, Yuan Shuo and Cayman Dorrans were still preying upon his weaknesses.
Also, it was not certain if her current condition was permanent or temporary.
It had not been easy for him to get hold of her, and it was not going to be as simple as threatening Weiwei again with her son.
“Ah, should we go and see how he is doing?” Gu Weiwei asked.
Gu Siting thought for a while. “Let’s go tomorrow.”
“Then we should call them later,” Gu Weiwei said.
Gu Siting thought for a while and said with a smile, “Okay.”
Gu Weiwei looked at the empty living room. “The servants are not here either?”
“I asked them to leave,” Gu Siting said.
“What about asking Shio to come here, your birthday can’t be so empty of people,” Gu Weiwei mumbled as she was rummaging through the ingredients for dinner.
Gu Siting thought for a while and smiled.
“No need, he has work to do.”
Although it was not his real birthday today, he had not celebrated a birthday since she had left the Gu Family.
And the birthday of this year was long gone; today was just one more time for her.
Gu Weiwei craned her head out of the kitchen and asked, “So it’s just going to be the two of us?”
“Just the two of us.” Gu Siting looked at the girl standing in the kitchen and sighed. “We haven’t celebrated any of our birthdays together for years.”
Even when it was her birthday, he asked Kuroda Shio to deliver the present, but he never went home because of work.
Gu Weiwei stayed silent and finally nodded in agreement.
“Then… what do you want to eat?”
“I’ll eat whatever you want to make.” Gu Siting chuckled.
Gu Weiwei sized up this man in astonishment and hesitated.
Gu Siting raised his eyebrows. “What are you looking at me for?”
“It’s… you seem a bit weird these days.” Gu Weiwei laughed dryly.
Gu Siting thought that it must have been because of their distant relationship that made her feel strange when he suddenly changed his attitude.
He was just thinking about how to explain so that she would not become suspicious when the phone rang.
So he said, “I am going out to answer a call, I will help you later.”
Seeing him leaving, Gu Weiwei went into the fridge to find some other ingredients and decided to choose what they were having for the birthday dinner by herself.
When Gu Siting came in, she was already making the food herself. She looked so focused that he didn’t want to disturb her.
