When leaving, Gu’s mother pulled Yunzhi aside, whispering: “Yunzhi, tell me the truth, is there something you’re hiding from us? Why do you look so terrible today?”
Yunzhi forced a smile, “Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry unnecessarily. Just take care of Dad and yourself!” He patted the elderly woman’s shoulder reassuringly and turned to walk downstairs.
Gu’s mother looked at their retreating backs, worried: “Honey, do you think something’s wrong between them? I just feel like something’s not right.”
Gu’s father sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, casually responding: “They’re not children anymore. If there’s a problem, they’ll solve it themselves. Why are you worrying?”
“Alas!” Gu’s mother sighed, “When will I ever get to hold my grandchild?”
Her sigh disrupted Gu’s father’s thoughts, “Didn’t Yunhua say they’re planning for that?”
Gu’s mother gave a bitter smile, “I’m afraid this is just another evasive answer!”
In the car, Gu Yunzhi questioned Song Yunhua: “Why did you say that to Mom and Dad?”
Song Yunhua looked at him calmly, “What else could I say in that situation?”
Yunzhi said coldly, “You could tell them the truth!”
Song Yunhua raised an eyebrow, “Do you think the elderly could handle that shock?”
Yunzhi fell silent.
Yes, he was the only son of the Gu family, and his parents were hoping he would continue the family line. If they knew he couldn’t have children, who knows what might happen?
So this matter absolutely must be kept from his parents!
Yunzhi sighed and started the car.
The car fell into silence.
Oh, Yunzhi let out a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid Chu’e would come over. But then he thought, when had she ever caused him trouble? She was always quietly watching him from the side, never trying to enter his life or his circle. Such a wonderful girl, he was destined to let her down! At this thought, his heart suddenly ached.
“Yunzhi?” Chu’e called from the other end.
“Ah?” He awoke as if from a dream.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, puzzled.
He smiled, “Hehe, I was thinking, this time, what kind of fried noodles are you going to make?”
Chu’e also smiled, “What, feeling hungry?”
“Yes, I’m hungry!” Yunzhi had eaten her fried noodles once.
