Ji ruikun, who was awoken by the sound, sat up straight and looked at Gu Yu with bloodshot eyes.””I … I just made do in the study last night?” The blanket on his body slipped off. He bent down to pick it up and continued,””I’ve really made you worry, Gu Yu. ”
Gu Yu was full of complaints,’and you’re still saying that nothing happened? Look at you, you’re so worried that you forgot to sleep in your room. Rui kun, just tell me, what happened? It’s impossible for Ziming to not have something important to call you at this hour last night. ” She poured a glass of water for Ji ruikun and placed it on the table to let him moisten his throat. Ji ruikun looked too Haggard now.
“Gu mo, I’m really going crazy because of you this early in the morning. Ha ha! Don’t worry. I’m just too tired from playing games with those young people last night, so I replied to my emails late and fell asleep here. If you’re still worried, why don’t you make a trip back to China to see Ziming, PEI GE, and the rest? what do you think?” Ji ruikun suggested to Gu mo. He then stood up and reached out to hug her.
“Eh?” Gu mo looked at Ji ruikun as if he had come to a sudden realization.
“Huh? How is it?” Ji ruikun thought that Gu mo had understood him and no longer pursued the matter.
Who knew that she would actually blurt out,”why didn’t I think of that! Alright, I’ll go back tonight. Since you guys didn’t tell me, I’ll only feel more at ease when I go back to see Ziming and the others!”
Ji ruikun squinted his eyes and shook his head with a smile.””I … Ha, alright. In that case, I’ll get my assistant to buy you a plane ticket. Have you thought it through, Gu mo? you won’t be able to see me and the children for a few days when you go back, right?”
“Yes, I’ve thought about it. My grandson is important, but is my son not important? Also, I think this secret must be related to you. I’m going back to China to collect evidence to see if you’re lying to me, Hmph!” With that, Gu mo wrapped his arms around himself and broke free from Ji ruikun’s embrace.
“Gu Yu, Aiyo! My Good Wife, we’re already an old couple. Is there a need for me to collude with my son and hide it from you?” Ji ruikun’s expression was one of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.”Alright. Since I can’t stop you, you can just fly back. I’ll get someone to book a plane ticket and have Ziming and PEI GE arrange your accommodation in the country.”
“Good! Of course, I’ll go back, but I don’t need you to arrange it. I’m going to go back quietly to see my son. I’ll settle the score with you when I come back. ” Gu mo said as he walked out of the study. When he reached the door, he waved his hand with his back to Ji ruikun and shouted,””Hurry up and wash up. Let’s go downstairs for breakfast. I’m going back to China soon! We still have to see Charles and the children!”
“Good! Immediately!” Ji ruikun looked at Gu Mo’s back and replied with mixed feelings. He then put on his coat again.
The children were brought to the dining room by Charles after washing up. So much time had passed, but no matter how much Gu Yu tried to please them, the children still held a grudge.
“How is it? Has Mr. Ji woken up?” Charles poured the children milk and juice and asked Gu Yu, who was walking down the stairs to the dining room.
“Yeah, I’ve already woken him up, you know? “Charles, Rui kun actually fell asleep in the study room last night. I don’t know what he’s thinking. He’s already so old, but he still doesn’t have a good rest. He’s worried about this and that all day long. He doesn’t even have a good sleep.” Gu mo complained as he walked to the dining table. The servant beside him pulled out a chair for her.
“Morning! My little babies!” After Gu Yu sat down, he saw that the little ones were all eating their breakfast in a dignified manner and his expression immediately changed to one full of love.
Charles sighed. She was fiddling with her breakfast and replied with a smile,””Mr. Ji has always known his limits. Perhaps he’s really tired from playing last night, so he’s careless and indulges himself occasionally. His body and soul were not bad. Quickly have your breakfast, Mrs. Ji. ” After that, he handed Gu Yu a sandwich with butter and jam.
Seeing that the little ones ignored him and continued to eat their breakfast, Gu mo looked up in a daze and took the sandwich Charles handed to him. He put it on his plate in disappointment.
She thought that maybe Charles was wrong, but she couldn’t find a way to refute him. She paused, took a bite of the sandwich, and drank a mouthful of milk.”No matter what, I’ve already decided. I’ll fly back to visit Ziming after breakfast. Otherwise, I really can’t sleep.”
“So sudden?” Charles looked at Gu Yu in surprise.
Gu Yu finished his sandwich and replied to Charles elegantly,””That’s right. I have a feeling that whatever happened has something to do with ruikun. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting so strange all of a sudden. I’ll only know what happened if I go back and ask Ziming and the others personally. I’ll get someone to help me find out. I, Gu Yi, am a man of my word. Of course, I won’t turn a blind eye to this. ”
Charles also took a sip of milk and said,””Alright, then. I hope everything goes well for you, Mrs. Ji. The children and I will miss you. Come back early. ”
“Thank you, Charles. I’ll leave the babies in your care. While I’m not around, please help me take care of ruikun. Don’t let him work too hard.” Gu Yu smiled knowingly and then looked at his babies.
“Good Morning, my babies, Charles!” After Ji ruikun finished washing up, he appeared at the dining table in high spirits, unlike his haggardness just now.
“Good Morning, Mr. Ji! I just heard that Mrs. Ji will be returning to the country soon. ” Charles looked at Ji ruikun with a meaningful look.
Ji ruikun didn’t answer Charles immediately. He reached out to hug his three babies and gently pressed his cheek against them. The babies blinked their big eyes as they watched the three adults in front of them talk to each other. They did not make a sound and ate their breakfast quietly, just like a noble.
Then, Ji ruikun sighed and sat on his seat.””Sigh, I know my Madam Ji. Don’t look weak on the surface, but when she does things, she’s Swift and decisive. I know, Charles, I’m the same as you, I’ll miss her very much, but she left just like that. I don’t know if she can’t bear to leave me and my babies. ” As he spoke, he pretended to bite into the sandwich.
“Rui kun, don’t tell me you are feeling guilty? You’re trying to goad me into staying, right? let me tell you, I’ve already booked my plane tickets. Just wait for me to catch your little tail when I get back, Hmph!” After she finished speaking, she began to whip. He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth before standing up. “I’ll go pack my luggage first. You guys don’t have to send me off. Go do what you’re busy with. Ziming will send you guys a message when I arrive.”
