After comforting Xiao Kong, Shen Qianqian raised her head to look at Old Liu's anxious expression. Knowing that it was almost time, she could only harden her heart and say to Xiao Kong, "Xiao Kong, Mom really has to go now."
After being comforted, Xiao Kong seemed to be able to understand Shen Qianqian's feelings. Although his young eyes were still filled with tears, he still stubbornly turned his face away in the end. "Mom, you can go now. You must come and see me again."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian, whose red lips trembled slightly, reluctantly planted a kiss on Xiao Kong's forehead. Then, she hurriedly picked up her things and ran out.
Shen Qianqian did not dare to look back all the way until she ran out of the hospital. Only then did she dare to look back.
"Madam, hurry up and get in the car. If we're any later, Sir will find out." Old Liu, who had driven the car over, rolled down the window and said anxiously.
The car sped towards the Gu villa. Shen Qianqian, who hurriedly got in the car, reluctantly turned back and looked at the hospital that was getting more and more blurry.
At 5: 10 am, Old Liu, who had hurried over, finally parked the car ten meters away from the villa.
Shen Qianqian and Old Liu hurriedly got out of the car and carefully returned to the Gu villa, just like how they left.
At the Gu villa, Mother Liu, who had woken up early, had been pacing around in front of the door anxiously. When she saw that Shen Qianqian had finally returned, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Madam, hurry up." Mother Liu waved at Old Liu as she pulled Shen Qianqian into the house.
"Sir sometimes wakes up early. I'm afraid that he will wake up soon. Madam, you should hide in the room first."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian looked at Auntie Liu gratefully with her watery eyes. Then, she tiptoed upstairs.
Half an hour later, Shen Qianqian washed up and went downstairs. Because she had stayed up all night, her clear eyes were slightly bloodshot.
Shen Qianqian paused for a moment when she saw the couple already seated downstairs. Then, she went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
"Madam, you're up. Breakfast is ready," Mother Liu put Shen Qianqian's breakfast on the table and gave her a look.
"Yo, Qianqian, you're up early." Lin Jinya curled her long fingers and picked up the spoon.
"Yes." Shen Qianqian, who looked tired and haggard, looked straight at Lin Jinya. Then, she sat down calmly with cold eyes.
"Aiya, Qianqian, why are your eyes so red? Did you not sleep well last night?"
Shen Qianqian was shocked by Lin Jinya's words. She was afraid that Lin Jinya would see through her.
Fortunately, Gu Hecheng only lowered his eyes and continued to eat. He did not have any reaction. Shen Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Jinya saw Shen Qianqian's embarrassed expression and thought that she had guessed right. She continued to mock and ridicule, "Did you think that Hecheng and I slept together last night, so you didn't sleep well last night?"
"Qianqian, are you jealous? Don't get me wrong. We didn't sleep together last night."
Lin Jinya's words made Gu Hecheng pause, but he quickly acted as if nothing had happened and reached for the salad bowl with his fork.
Shen Qianqian's eyes darkened. She looked at Lin Jinya, who was deliberately provoking her, and sneered, "You're thinking too much. I wouldn't feel anything even if you were naked and hugged each other."
"Bang!"
Before Shen Qianqian could finish her words, Gu Hecheng had angrily slammed his fork on the table. The loud sound of the knife and fork hitting the porcelain plate startled Lin Jinya and Shen Qianqian. The table immediately quieted down.
"Shen Qianqian!"
Gu Hecheng, who was handsome and resolute, suddenly stood up. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and stared at Shen Qianqian. Then he said to Lin Jinya, "Jinyang, I'm going to be late for work. I'll wait for you here."
Lin Jinya saw Gu Hecheng's terrifying aura and knew that he was really angry. She did not dare to delay and hurried upstairs.
Looking at Lin Jinya's back, Shen Qianqian seemed to suddenly think of something. She glanced at Gu Hecheng, whose back was facing her, and hurriedly got up and followed him.
When Shen Qianqian went upstairs, Lin Jinya happened to come out of the room.
"Lin Jinya, wait a minute." Shen Qianqian called out to Lin Jinya in a low voice. Lin Jinya was stunned. She raised her willowy eyebrows and looked at Shen Qianqian disdainfully.
"Lin Jinya, how about I make a deal with you? You'll be interested." Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and held Lin Jinya's arm.
"I have shares in Dongling Group. I promised Gu Hecheng that I would give him the shares as long as he was willing to divorce me. But it seems that I can't do that now. If you can let me divorce Gu Hecheng within three days, I will give you all the shares."
Shen Qianqian looked resolutely at Lin Jinya, who was shocked. Lin Jinya had never expected that the shares that she had been vexing over yesterday would come to her today.
Lin Jinya's eyes flickered. She frowned tightly, afraid that she would show too much joy in her heart.
"Okay, I promise you … You won't lie to me, right?"
Shen Qianqian's eyes deepened. She looked at Lin Jinya, who was doubting her, and said, "Lin Jinya, you must know that I always keep my promises!"
Lin Jinya felt a little guilty at Shen Qianqian's threatening gaze. She looked away and pursed her lips. "Okay, I believe you. You have to give me all the shares in your hands in three days."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian was about to turn and leave when she bumped into Gu Hecheng, who was going upstairs.
Shen Qianqian instinctively wanted to dodge, but Gu Hecheng grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing here?" A cold voice came from beside her ear. Shen Qianqian looked up. Gu Hecheng was slowly turning his face and looking at her with a sharp gaze.
"I didn't do anything." Shen Qianqian instinctively wanted to withdraw her arm, but Gu Hecheng's grip tightened.
"Jinyang, did she say something to you?" Gu Hecheng looked sharply at Lin Jinya. Lin Jinya was stunned and shook her head frantically. "No, Qianqian didn't say anything. She just came over to take a look."
"Take a look?" Gu Hecheng turned his head suspiciously. His sharp gaze suddenly fell on Shen Qianqian's shoes.
She had changed into flat shoes early in the morning. Her shoes were still stained with mud.
Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Qianqian's face. "You went out?"
Shen Qianqian trembled. She looked up and her eyes met with Gu Hecheng's dark and deep eyes. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. They were so sharp that she had nowhere to hide.
"I couldn't sleep this morning, so I got up early and walked around the garden." Shen Qianqian looked away evasively.
"You …"
"Hecheng, didn't you say that you were going to be late for work? Let's go."
Lin Jinya saw that Gu Hecheng was so aggressive that Shen Qianqian looked like she could not handle it. She quickly grabbed his arm and swayed coquettishly to attract his attention. She was afraid that their deal would be exposed.
Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes dangerously. He sized up Shen Qianqian again before he left with Lin Jinya.
The moment Gu Hecheng left, Shen Qianqian glanced at her shoes and knocked her head with her hand. She was extremely regretful.
She was so distracted that she had forgotten everything. She had almost exposed herself.
Shen Qianqian looked around the entrance to make sure that Gu Hecheng and Lin Jinya had left. She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed Su Yun's number with her slender fingers.
The call was finally connected. Shen Qianqian said sincerely, "Manager Su, I would like to take a leave of absence today."
"Take a leave of absence?" Su Yun was about to leave with her bag when she heard that Shen Qianqian wanted to take a leave of absence. She immediately raised her voice and said, "Shen Qianqian, do you think that your family owns the company? Do you think that you can skip work whenever you want?!"
"You don't know how busy I am today! If you don't come, I'll take it that you're absent from work. Let me tell you, as long as you're not dying, you'd better get up and go to work. " Su Yun, who had been suppressing her anger for the past few days, seemed to have found an opportunity to scold Shen Qianqian.
Su Yun became more and more excited as she spoke. "Shen Qianqian, let me tell you, don't think that you can mess around just because you have a good husband. I advise you to come to work. Otherwise, if your husband abandons you one day, you won't even be able to get a job."
"Su Yun, are you done?" Shen Qianqian was already very polite, but when she saw Su Yun's attitude, she knew that there was no need for her to say anything more. "It doesn't matter if you consider me absent from work today or fire me. It's up to you. Anyway, I can't go."
Shen Qianqian wanted to hang up the phone directly, but when she thought about Su Yun's words, she felt that it was too much. She continued, "Su Yun, I advise you not to be so mean. You speak so viciously. Aren't you afraid that one day, these things will happen to you?"
"Hmph, who are you to lecture me? Hmm? Hello? Hello? " The busy tone from the other end of the phone stunned Su Yun. The words that she had yet to say were stuck in her chest, and Su Yun almost couldn't breathe.
Su Yun fiercely poked the phone screen. "This Shen Qianqian, how dare she hang up on me. Just wait and see!"
After Shen Qianqian hung up the phone, she quickly ran to her room, picked up her bag, and prepared to go to the hospital to take care of Xiao Kong.
When Shen Qianqian ran out of the kitchen, Mother Liu looked up and hurriedly called out to her. "Madam, wait. You're going to see Little Master, right?"
As Mother Liu spoke, she closed the silver-white thermos container beside her. "Madam, I'll go with you. I haven't seen Little Master in a long time. Sigh, he's so pitiful."
"Mother Liu, I can't. There's no one at home. I'm worried." Shen Qianqian held the strap of her backpack tightly. After thinking for a long time, she felt that it was inappropriate.
"… That's true." Mother Liu sighed and handed the thermos container to Shen Qianqian. "Madam, this is the chicken soup I secretly stewed. Take it to Little Master. I don't know if he has lost weight …"
Shen Qianqian lowered her head and looked at the thermos container that Mother Liu handed to her. Her eyes immediately filled with tears.
The heavy chicken soup was full of concern. Seeing Mother Liu's worried expression, Shen Qianqian changed her mind. "Mother Liu, let's go together."
