After Shen Qianqian came back from the hospital, she was happy every day at first. She felt that she would not have any postpartum symptoms at all. However, the good times did not last long. After the one-month-old celebration for Wanwan, Gu Hecheng began to spend less and less time at home.
Not only that, he sometimes came home late and often looked tired. He did not even say the sweet nothings he used to. He just helped her take care of Wanwan and then went to bed.
After a week of this, Shen Qianqian started to feel uneasy.
Although she kept telling herself that it was fine, she did not know whether it was because of the hormones or because she faintly felt that something was different. She felt as if there was a stone pressing down on her heart, and she felt more and more upset.
One day, Gu Hecheng came back after drinking a little. He just came over to take a look at Wanwan, and the smell of alcohol on him made Shen Qianqian frown unhappily.
"Hecheng, where did you go? Why did you drink so much?" Shen Qianqian's tone was a little stiff. She frowned and asked.
"Work." Gu Hecheng smiled slightly. His eyes were still very gentle when he looked at Shen Qianqian.
However, Shen Qianqian only cared about being angry and did not notice his gaze. She said unhappily, "But why did you work so late recently? It's getting later and later, and you drank for so long. We haven't talked for so long. What's wrong with you?"
Gu Hecheng's head was a little heavy. It seemed that he did not hear what she said clearly. He also did not notice that she was a little angry. He just smiled and straightened up. "Qianqian, I won't talk about it anymore. I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a shower. Let's go to bed early."
After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he threw his coat on the shelf and turned to leave.
"Hey, you?" Shen Qianqian felt her chest tighten, but Gu Hecheng acted as if he hadn't heard her at all. He had already gone into the bathroom, leaving Shen Qianqian fuming outside.
Wan Wan, who was beside Shen Qianqian, was fine at first. However, she seemed to have sensed Shen Qianqian's uneasiness and started to cry as well.
Wanwan's cries were a little loud. Shen Qianqian began to lose her patience. She muttered to Wanwan, "Wanwan, if you cry any louder, your brother will be woken up by you."
Shen Qianqian sighed and went out to call Mother Liu. "Take Wanwan out first. I'll take care of her later."
"Alright." As Mother Liu carried Wanwan, she glanced at Shen Qianqian's face and asked with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mother Liu's words stunned Shen Qianqian. She touched her face and sighed in her heart. Was it so obvious? She forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. Maybe I didn't get enough rest."
"I see." Mother Liu thought for a while and said, "You just gave birth. It's tiring. Why don't I take care of her tonight? I'll watch over her while she sleeps."
Shen Qianqian's heart warmed. She nodded and said, "Alright. Mother Liu, thank you for your hard work."
After Mother Liu carried Wanwan, Shen Qianqian looked at the closed door. She sat in the quiet room and felt a little absent-minded. It was as if she had suddenly lost something.
While Shen Qianqian was in a daze, Gu Hecheng's cell phone suddenly rang. It sounded out of place in the room.
After Shen Qianqian came back to her senses, she wanted to look through Gu Hecheng's cell phone for the first time. However, she tried to calm herself down and told herself that it was wrong. If she really did that, her unwavering faith in Gu Hecheng would be severely challenged.
After a period of internal struggle, Shen Qianqian finally resisted the urge to look for his cell phone. At the same time, Gu Hecheng happened to come out of the bathroom.
He had drunk a lot of wine and Gu Hecheng. After he came out of the hot shower, his whole body was a little red. He seemed to be in a daze. After he took his cell phone out of his clothes, he casually placed it on the bedside table and went to sleep.
Shen Qianqian watched Gu Hecheng as he sat on the bed, lay down, pulled up the blanket, and fell asleep. However, she did not have time to say a word until he fell asleep.
Shen Qianqian was a little annoyed. She lay down on the other side of the bed and reluctantly turned off the lights.
However, when she lay down, Shen Qianqian realized that the more she wanted to sleep, the harder it was for her to fall asleep. Moreover, the night was exceptionally bright. The moonlight poured in through the curtains that were not completely closed.
Shen Qianqian looked at the cold moonlight on the floor anxiously. She furrowed her brows and turned to lie on the other side of the bed.
In the quiet room, only the sound of breathing and the blanket made by Shen Qianqian when she could not fall asleep. When she realized that she really could not fall asleep, she gave up struggling and opened her eyes to look at the ceiling above her head.
At this moment, the faint sound of Wanwan crying came from outside the door. Shen Qianqian turned slightly and looked at Gu Hecheng's sleeping face.
Shen Qianqian thought angrily. Last week, even if Gu Hecheng did not talk to her as much, he would still wake up from time to time to check on Wanwan because he was worried that she would not be able to sleep well if she had to wake up to take care of Wanwan. However, today, he did not even have such thoughts. He drank outside and fell asleep so carelessly. She could not accept this.
Shen Qianqian's frown deepened. In a short period of time, it was as if an eight o 'clock TV series was playing in her mind. It was very exciting.
She could almost think back to when she and Gu Hecheng first met until now, including the five painful years in between.
Before Shen Qianqian gave birth to Wanwan, she felt that she had long forgotten about these things and did not care at all. However, at this moment, she realized that she could not stop thinking about these things.
Shen Qianqian looked at Gu Hecheng beside her with a headache. She was getting more and more unhappy. Not only that, at this very inappropriate time, Gu Hecheng's phone screen suddenly lit up. Then, she heard two vibrations.
Before the lights dimmed, Shen Qianqian suddenly stood up and grabbed Gu Hecheng's phone. She had always felt that she shouldn't do this.
Shen Qianqian entered Gu Hecheng's phone password without hesitation. Then, she turned on the phone and clicked on the message. Her face fell when she saw it.
A woman with an English name was actually asking about Gu Hecheng's well-being. She was very concerned about whether he had returned safely.
When Shen Qianqian saw this, she felt like she was going to explode. If Gu Hecheng was not sleeping soundly, she probably would not have been able to control herself and wake Gu Hecheng up.
However, Shen Qianqian knew that she could not wake Gu Hecheng up, so she suppressed the anger in her mind for the time being. She calmed down a little, but not in the true sense of the word.
Shen Qianqian found that woman's phone number and scrolled through the chat history between Gu Hecheng and that woman. However, she did not find anything strange, so she could only put down the phone embarrassedly and lie back under the blanket.
She stared at the ceiling with her big eyes. She was thinking about how she could catch Gu Hecheng's flaws and weaknesses. She also thought about what she should do if the bad things she thought about were true.
After thinking so much, Shen Qianqian did not know how she fell asleep in the end.
However, Shen Qianqian knew that Gu Hecheng was no longer in bed when she woke up the next morning.
Shen Qianqian frowned. She quickly got out of bed and put on a jacket over her pajamas before she opened the door and walked out.
However, when she scanned the living room, she did not see Gu Hecheng except for Mother Liu, who was taking care of Wanwan, and Xiao Kong, who was eating.
Shen Qianqian was stunned. She quickly asked, "Mother Liu, where is Hecheng?"
Mother Liu did not think there was anything wrong with her tone, so she replied casually, "He went to work."
Shen Qianqian bit her lip. Xiao Kong was in front of her, so she could not say anything. She could only wait for Mother Liu to send Xiao Kong downstairs. After the chauffeur picked him up, she hurriedly went to Mother Liu and asked, "When did he leave? What did he say before he left? "
Although Mother Liu felt that Shen Qianqian's question was a little strange, she did not think too much about it. She just thought that Shen Qianqian was worried that he would go to work too early.
"Sir didn't leave too early. He left 40 minutes earlier than usual. Although he didn't get to eat breakfast, I asked the secretary to prepare it for him."
Before Mother Liu could finish her words, Shen Qianqian suddenly interrupted her anxiously.
"By the way, didn't Hecheng say that his previous secretary was hospitalized with a fracture last month? Then he changed his secretary at the last minute." Shen Qianqian quickly thought of a seemingly serious problem.
"I think so." Mother Liu finally felt that Shen Qianqian seemed to be a little too nervous, but she could not tell what was wrong. She could only think about it carefully and then nodded. "I think so."
"Then is the new secretary a man or a woman?" Shen Qianqian asked very nervously.
Mother Liu was stunned by Shen Qianqian's question. Then she understood what was going on. It turned out that she was worried that Gu Hecheng had a mistress.
Mother Liu smiled helplessly. "Although I don't know whether the new secretary is a man or a woman, I believe that Sir is not that kind of person. So there is no need to worry."
