After Gu Hecheng finished arranging everything, he thought of Shen Qianqian and hurriedly gave her a call.
The call was picked up and Shen Qianqian's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the line. Gu Hecheng's restless heart slowly calmed down.
"Where are you?" Gu Hecheng's voice had unknowingly become gentler. It was completely different from the person who appeared to be tough on the outside but was actually weak on the inside.
"I just came out of the hospital." Shen Qianqian's voice was still very calm. She pulled open her car door as she spoke on the phone.
"To the hospital? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "Gu Hecheng was instinctively a little worried.
Shen Qianqian heard Gu Hecheng's anxious tone and couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine. I just came to see He Yijia's daughter."
"You went to see He Yijia?" Although Gu Hecheng understood the current situation very well, he didn't know why he felt a little sour in his heart at this moment.
However, this sour feeling wasn't strong. It was more like a regulator that flashed through his heart. Then, he realized it and smiled as he returned to the topic at hand. "Lin Jinya is now a wanted criminal. The police have already started to take action. I've already arranged for my men to look for him. I'm not worried about anything else."
Gu Hecheng paused for a moment before he continued, "As for you, as long as you can't find Lin Jinya, I'll be worried about your safety. So … "
"Qianqian, where are you going these days? I'll go with you, okay? Don't go alone. It's fine even if you have an assistant or someone else accompanying you. Otherwise, I'll be worried." When Gu Hecheng said this, he used a coaxing tone. Shen Qianqian's heart skipped a beat.
"Okay." She actually wanted to say that she didn't want to trouble him, but for some reason, she changed her mind at the last minute.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Hecheng was very happy to hear Shen Qianqian agree. He immediately said, "Then I'm relieved. You should go back early. I'll pick you up for dinner tonight. "
After Shen Qianqian agreed and was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly heard Gu Hecheng say, "Oh yes, it's a surprise."
With that, Gu Hecheng hung up the phone in a hurry. Shen Qianqian listened to the deep and happy surprise in his voice and was momentarily stunned. She did not know what he wanted to do.
Shen Qianqian smiled and shook her head. She started the car and wondered if Gu Hecheng was going to propose to her.
At this thought, Shen Qianqian secretly complained that this was old-fashioned. She felt that this kind of thing was not new, but it was far from being a surprise.
However, Shen Qianqian did not know that Gu Hecheng was serious about the surprise until dinner time.
Shen Qianqian was picked up by Gu Hecheng, and the two of them went to a Japanese-style restaurant under the Gu Corporation. When she pushed open the door of the small private room, she froze on the spot.
"..." Shen Qianqian looked at the person in front of her, who was playing with the rim of the cup with her head down. She opened her mouth in shock, but she realized that she could not say anything. She even forgot to move. For a moment, she just stood at the door and did not take a step forward.
Gu Hecheng looked at Shen Qianqian's back, which was obviously tense. He felt a little sorry for her. He reached out and touched her hand, which was on the door, and held it in his palm. He squeezed it gently to comfort her.
Shen Qianqian was stunned. Then she came back to her senses. Shen Yuntao also lifted her head at this moment.
At this moment, Shen Yuntao's gaze towards Shen Qianqian was no longer as repulsive and evasive as before. His eyes had finally shed their disguise, as if they had been looking at her for a very long time, glistening with tears.
Gu Hecheng could tell that Shen Yuntao and Shen Qianqian were very restrained at this moment.
Gu Hecheng held Shen Qianqian's hand and took two steps into the restaurant. After they entered, he closed the door behind them. After she sat down, he sat quietly to one side.
After a while, Gu Hecheng saw that the two of them were still not talking. He finally could not help but take the initiative to say, "Do you want to order food first?"
Shen Qianqian did not move. She looked at Shen Yuntao in disbelief. She felt that if she was distracted, the person in front of her, who had sat down in front of her with great difficulty, would suddenly disappear.
"Let's order first." Shen Yuntao restrained his emotions much faster than Shen Qianqian. He saw that Shen Qianqian seemed to be in a daze, so he wanted to order food first to distract her and calm her down.
Gu Hecheng nodded. Then he called someone over. According to his understanding of the two of them, he ordered all the dishes that were worth eating.
Because Gu Hecheng had informed them in advance and told them the specific time, the dishes he ordered were quickly brought to the table.
Gu Hecheng took the initiative to pluck the crab for Shen Qianqian. When he placed it in front of her, he thought that it would divert her attention. However, he did not expect that she did not pay attention to it at all. Instead, her gaze went past his busy hands and landed on Shen Yuntao.
"What exactly is going on?" Shen Qianqian's voice was trembling. She seemed to be unable to react to such a drastic change in attitude.
Gu Hecheng and Shen Yuntao both stopped what they were doing and looked at Shen Qianqian quietly, waiting for her to ask the next question.
Once the topic was brought up, it seemed that it would be much easier to continue.
"Now that you are sitting in front of me, does this mean that you admit that you are my brother?" Shen Qianqian frowned. Her gaze was filled with grievance and confusion.
Before Shen Yuntao could speak, she asked in a questioning tone, "Since you know, why … why don't you acknowledge me and treat me like that?"
"Also, why did you keep saying that it was dangerous and that you were unwilling to get close to me? Is it not dangerous now?" After Shen Qianqian finished speaking, she suddenly recalled that Gu Hecheng had told her that he was doing something illegal. She could not help but feel agitated. "Tell me, why did you do those things? How could you let yourself go …"
Shen Qianqian's words caused Shen Yuntao's gaze to flicker. Then, he glanced at Gu Hecheng and lowered his head.
After a while, when he saw that Shen Qianqian was frowning in pain but did not say anything, Shen Yuntao finally opened his mouth to explain. "Yes, I am your brother."
Shen Yuntao heaved a deep sigh of relief, as though he had finally put down a burden in his heart. He told her everything that had happened to him and why he deliberately avoided her.
The atmosphere in the small private room finally relaxed from the initial awkwardness and tension. After Shen Qianqian heard the entire story, she could not help but cry.
Gu Hecheng patted Shen Qianqian's back. Shen Yuntao thought for a while and stood up from his seat. Then, he sat beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, and patted her.
Shen Qianqian finally could not help but cry. Soon, she felt relieved and did not have to worry about Shen Yuntao anymore. Her emotions finally calmed down.
The three of them finally finished their meal. Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian personally sent Shen Yuntao back to his residence.
On the way back, Shen Qianqian, who was no longer sad, asked, "Brother, what do you plan to do after this?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I will walk around or find a place to settle down." Shen Yuntao looked out of the window and said faintly.
Shen Qianqian originally wanted to ask if he needed help, but she felt that it was unnecessary and did not say anything.
When she sent Shen Yuntao to his residence, she could not help but call out to him. "Brother, when are you going to come to my place? Also, Xiao Kong, cousin, and aunt's place."
Shen Yuntao had already gotten out of the car. His back was facing them in the night. His figure paused for a moment, then he turned around and nodded.
Looking at Shen Yuntao's back as he left, Shen Qianqian smiled. At this moment, it was as if something in her heart had suddenly fallen to the ground.
Her mother's last wish was finally fulfilled. Shen Qianqian's heart tightened. Thinking of her mother, her brows unconsciously furrowed.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? " Gu Hecheng did not say much tonight. It was as if he deliberately wanted Shen Qianqian and Shen Yuntao to interact more. But no matter what, as long as Shen Qianqian needed him, she would be able to see him whenever she turned around.
Shen Qianqian was no longer the same person she used to be. She had learned to control her emotions a long time ago. Therefore, she pursed her lips and shook her head. She looked up at Gu Hecheng and smiled as she shook her head.
"I'm fine. Thank you." Shen Qianqian took the initiative to hold Gu Hecheng's hand. She placed it in her palm and sincerely expressed her gratitude to him.
Gu Hecheng saw that she was really happy, and his heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled down.
"Actually, I didn't tell you and brought you there directly. Actually, I was a little worried at first." Gu Hecheng held Shen Qianqian's hand as they went upstairs. Along the way, he held her in his arms as if the whole world was in his arms.
When Shen Qianqian came down from the elevator, her emotions had more or less stabilized. When she saw the door to her apartment, she thought for a moment and gently pulled her hand out of his.
"…" Shen Qianqian's action made Gu Hecheng pause for a moment. After that, when he saw that she was looking into the distance, he deliberately held her hand again and said, "Why are you so shy? Mother Liu and Xiao Kong know about our relationship."
Gu Hecheng saw that Shen Qianqian lowered her head and did not speak. He wanted to make fun of her and said, "What's wrong? You promised me. You can't go back on your word."
As Gu Hecheng spoke, he held Shen Qianqian's hand and deliberately touched the diamond ring with his finger. He said, "Should we buy a bigger wedding ring?"
Shen Qianqian helplessly pushed his shoulder gently and pulled her hand out of his.
