"This is my wife, Shen Qianqian." Gu Hecheng introduced Shen Qianqian to the woman in front of him generously. Then he turned his head and said, "This is Director Li, the representative of the company's new project partner."
Director Li's gentle gaze wandered between Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian. Finally, her gaze landed on Shen Qianqian. She extended her hand gracefully and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Shen Qianqian felt that this woman seemed to have a European air about her. She seemed to have lived abroad for many years.
"Hello, Shen Qianqian." Shen Qianqian extended her hand to greet her as she removed her sunglasses.
"How did you meet me here?" Director Li's expression was lively. "If you had come earlier, we could have chatted a little longer in President Gu's office."
Shen Qianqian said awkwardly, "I..."
Gu Hecheng seemed to be deliberately touching on her sore spot. He suddenly said jokingly, "Oh, Qianqian, you must be worried. I interact with many outstanding women every day. So today, you must have specially come to..."
"Gu Hecheng!" Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. She hurriedly put her arm around Gu Hecheng's shoulder and smiled at him. "I was out shopping and happened to pass by here. I just wanted to say hello."
Director Li was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them pushing and pulling each other back and forth. However, he quickly reacted and said with a meaningful smile, "Oh, oh, I see."
Director Li looked at the time and smiled as if he was helping the two of them out of their predicament. "President Gu, it wasn't easy for us to get this big project from the government after so many days and drinking so much. We have to go and sign the contract in a while. You two have to pay attention to the time when you're whispering."
After she finished speaking, she took a few steps back and waved at them with a smile. Then, she turned around and waited for them.
"Hecheng, I …" Although Shen Qianqian's imagination had been running wild recently, she was not stupid. After listening to Director Li's words, she immediately understood what was going on. She knew that she had misunderstood.
Shen Qianqian's face was red. Before Gu Hecheng could say anything, she pushed him away and urged him to leave.
"Hurry up and go." Shen Qianqian refused to look up and just urged him.
Gu Hecheng saw her proud look and felt relieved. He knew that she had let go of the misunderstanding in her heart.
"Not going to interrogate me? You must have a lot of questions to ask, right? "Gu Hecheng asked teasingly.
"I'll deal with you when you're done with your business." Shen Qianqian knew what he was thinking. After glaring at him, she hurriedly urged him to leave.
Director Li, who was not far away, looked down at the time. Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian retracted their gazes at the same time and looked at each other.
Gu Hecheng did not care that they were in public. He hugged Shen Qianqian very sweetly and kissed her on the top of her head. Then, he whispered in her ear, "Okay, okay. I promise to explain everything to you when we get back. You can deal with me however you want, okay?"
"You, hurry up and leave." Shen Qianqian felt helpless. Since they were in public, she could only hope that he would leave quickly so that she could disappear from this place.
Gu Hecheng reached out and patted her head. Then, he looked back at her reluctantly. Then, he walked back to the car and parked it by the roadside. After Director Li got into the car, he did not forget to press down the window and wave goodbye to Shen Qianqian. Only then did he leave with peace of mind.
Now that the truth of the matter was gradually becoming clear, Shen Qianqian felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from her heart. She felt a lot more relaxed, so she happily went to buy a few new products and the most fashionable clothes for the season before returning home.
In the afternoon, Shen Qianqian happily played with Wanwan at home and watched TV. Then, she suddenly remembered that Gu Hecheng said that he would confess when he came back tonight. She suddenly felt shy and anxious.
Shen Qianqian had reason to believe that Gu Hecheng would take this opportunity to tease her again. Thus, she felt a little conflicted.
On one hand, she really wanted to hear Gu Hecheng confess to her. On the other hand, she wanted to hide and wait for a few days before telling him.
Thus, after struggling for a long time, Shen Qianqian finally came up with an idea. She would simply pretend to be asleep when Gu Hecheng came back tonight. She did not believe that Gu Hecheng would wake her up.
Just as Shen Qianqian was feeling proud of this idea, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
Shen Qianqian was shocked. When she turned her head, she was still holding something in her mouth. She was so excited that she almost bit her own mouth.
She looked in shock at Mother Liu, who was busy in the kitchen. Before she could ask anything, she simply put down the things in her hands and rushed back to the bedroom. Then, she lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
Although Shen Qianqian thought that she had rushed back to the bedroom, in fact, when Gu Hecheng opened the door, he saw a familiar figure quickly sneak into the room.
Gu Hecheng's lips curled into a smile. He pretended not to see it and greeted Auntie Liu first.
"Sir, why are you back so early today?" Mother Liu was preparing delicious food for Xiao Kong. She wanted to pick him up after school. "I was just about to go out and pick up Xiao Kong."
Gu Hecheng nodded with a smile on his face. Then, he pretended to ask casually, "Where is Qianqian?"
Mother Liu followed Gu Hecheng's gaze and glanced at the living room. Then, she muttered to herself, "She was watching TV in the living room just now. Why is she not here now?"
Gu Hecheng's smile deepened. He turned his head and said, "She should be in the bedroom. I'll go take a look."
"I'll take care of Wanwan later. I'll have to trouble you to pick up Xiao Kong. Thank you." After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he walked calmly to the bedroom.
The moment he entered the room, he saw something moving under the blanket. Gu Hecheng tried his best to hold back his laughter.
"Qianqian, don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping like this?" Gu Hecheng saw that Shen Qianqian had buried her entire face under the blanket. His heart ached for her and he tried to pull the blanket down. However, Shen Qianqian simply pretended to be asleep and let him pull the blanket down.
Gu Hecheng saw that Shen Qianqian did not respond even though he tried his best to call her name. He sat by the bed and looked at her, amused.
However, Gu Hecheng watched as Shen Qianqian blushed, but she refused to wake up.
When Gu Hecheng saw this, he took off his jacket and got ready to lie down.
"It seems like she's not awake yet. I'm tired too," Gu Hecheng said pretentiously. "I should hug my beloved wife and sleep first. It's so tiring."
After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he hugged Shen Qianqian and lay down before she could react.
Shen Qianqian could feel the warmth of Gu Hecheng's chest. She could not lie down anymore. She quickly got up and said, "Alright, stop pretending. I know you don't want to sleep."
When Gu Hecheng heard this, he sat up and said, "You're finally up. It wasn't easy."
Shen Qianqian lowered her head shyly. After a while, she finally said, "Alright. Didn't you say you wanted to explain to me? Tell me the truth."
Gu Hecheng knew that he had not interacted much with Shen Qianqian over the past few days. He did not think that it was a big deal, but he did not expect her to care so much about it.
"Actually, I'm very happy to see that you care so much about me and even get jealous because of me." Gu Hecheng hugged Shen Qianqian happily. In the past, he felt that he had hurt her and was afraid that her love for him would never return to how it used to be. However, from this incident, it seemed that Shen Qianqian still cared a lot about him.
"It's not like that." Shen Qianqian lowered her eyes. She did not want to admit it. "It's just postpartum symptoms. I don't care about you that much. Even if it were someone else, I would do the same."
"No. How could it be someone else?" Gu Hecheng gritted his teeth. He held Shen Qianqian's shoulders and stared into her eyes to declare his sovereignty. "You can only see me in your eyes. You can only care about me. Do you understand?"
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and tried hard to hold back her smile. She raised her eyebrows and said, "That depends on your performance."
Gu Hecheng smiled helplessly. Then, he hugged Shen Qianqian even tighter in his arms.
"Okay. Tell me about what happened recently. I see that you are so sincere in repenting and want to tell me the truth. You must have thought it through thoroughly, right?" Shen Qianqian said coquettishly.
Gu Hecheng organized his words. He lowered his head and looked at her. "Actually, when you were pregnant, I was with you the whole time. During that time, I handed over all the unimportant work to my secretary and assistant. I delayed the important matters a little. So, in the past two months, it was about time to settle them. That's why I was very busy."
"Actually, the main reason was that when you were pregnant, I didn't dare to leave your side for even a moment. After Wanwan was born, I saw that you had more or less recovered and there were many people taking care of you. That's why I could rest assured and do my own things."
Gu Hecheng sighed. "But I was really too busy with work. So, after a day, I felt a little tired. Also, after I came back, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to sleep well taking care of Wanwan. Although I don't talk much and communicate with you less often, I just hope that when I'm at home, I can help you take care of Wanwan more. I just want to take care of her more so that you can have a good rest."
"It's just that in the past two weeks, because this new energy project is too urgent and we are collaborating with a foreign company to take over the project from the government, it's naturally very tiring to communicate with all parties."
