Chapter 227: Chapter 227 He Completed the Mission and Returned

Chapter 227 -227 He Completed the Mission and Returned

Fatty Aunt felt a bit nervous upon hearing that Gu Cheng had gone out to buy durians.

After all, it was Gu Cheng who paid her salary, and she was older, so she reminded Zhou Yuan, “Yuanyuan, although Mr. Gu dotes on you, you must never do anything to make him kneel before durians, men have very strong pride.”

Zhou Yuan widened her eyes, “Who said I would make him kneel before durians?”

“Isn’t that so?”

“Of course not,” Zhou Yuan said. “I’m not that kind of person, I just wanted to eat durian, that’s all.”

A dozen minutes later, Gu Cheng returned with a durian.

He placed the durian in front of Zhou Yuan and asked indifferently, “Do you want to eat it now or later?”

“Now,” Zhou Yuan answered. “Why else would I buy it? Hurry up and open it for me, I want to see if it’s ripe.”

Gu Cheng looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise.

He thought that he had spoiled her during this period and that she would demand he kneel before the durian. If that were truly the case, he wouldn’t kneel.

After all, he was Mr. Gu. It would be embarrassing if word got out, and besides, he hadn’t done anything to wrong her; she couldn’t be unreasonable.

He opened the durian, and immediately, the fragrance filled the living room.

Zhou Yuan put on a pair of disposable gloves, ate two sections of the durian, then gave one section to Fatty Aunt, and left the last one for Gu Cheng.

After eating, she wiped her mouth and took off the gloves, tossing them aside.

“I’m going to sleep now, Brother Cheng, come up and join me soon.”

Gu Cheng smiled, the little girl had a good sense of boundaries. She had given him both a warning and some durian to eat.

…

Upon returning home, Li Zhen planned to hug her daughter.

Rather than hugging her daughter, she was seeking comfort.

Since meeting Gu Cheng in Europe, she knew Gu Cheng still had feelings for her and that Gu Cheng didn’t seem to like his petite wife much. Coupled with her own miserable life, she had decided to come back.

After returning, Gu Cheng had taken good care of her, which made his petite wife jealous. Li Zhen thought she could replace her, but unexpectedly, Gu Cheng couldn’t be without his wife.

Li Zhen became alone again.

Her daughter Jenny wouldn’t let her hug her because she was interrupting her puzzle play.

Li Zhen became thoroughly angry.

If it weren’t for her daughter Jenny, who had been like an anchor dragging her down, how could her life have become so passive?

Unable to properly advance in her career, she had to face her at home every day.

She exploded, smashing things frantically.

The nanny saw what was happening and immediately took Jenny away.

Jenny just watched her mother’s outburst with wide eyes. To her, this was an ordinary occurrence; her expression was completely indifferent.

The nanny called Qiu Yurou, who arrived soon after.

Li Zhen had calmed down by then, sitting on the sofa and crying.

Qiu Yurou sighed, “Li Zhen, you shouldn’t go looking for Gu Cheng again, and you certainly shouldn’t be losing your temper at home. I know it’s hard for you to bring up a child with autism on your own, but the child is already like this, and she’s pitiful.”

Li Zhen cried, “I don’t want this daughter anymore. I think about taking her with me and leaving this world together, not causing trouble for anyone.”

“What are you saying? Why do you go straight to thoughts of death? You are living in a villa now, with a pitiful daughter; your salary is enough to support a family, and you have Aunt Bao to do your chores. If you still want to die like this, what about those who are out on the streets at night with their children, setting up stalls? They have it tougher than you, yet they still live on tenaciously, don’t they?

You, you just refuse to live a good life, always aiming too high, trying to take things from others’ hands. What you’re after no longer belongs to you, do you understand?”

Li Zhen continued to cry, Qiu Yurou’s words making her lose face because she had initially promised that she wouldn’t compete or try to take anything.

Qiu Yurou continued, “If you despise your daughter so much and think she is a hindrance to your career development, because of her, you dare not go on business trips, and you have to come home after work, then you might as well give her to me, let me take care of her, and you can focus on your career.”

People need to have something to do and goals; otherwise, they become anxious and depressed.

Li Zhen looked at Qiu Yurou.

“Aren’t you still worried about me?”

Li Zhen shook her head, then looked at Jenny outside, being held by the nanny.

She did love her daughter, but she desperately needed love too.

Since Qiu Yurou was willing to help, she decided to leave Jenny in Qiu Yurou’s care.

That day, Qiu Yurou took Jenny and the nanny home with her.

And Li Zhen sat alone in the living room until midnight.

She took Qiu Yurou’s words to heart and resolved never to see Gu Cheng again.

Now that her daughter wasn’t around, she truly could immerse herself in her career, which might be better for both her and Jenny.

…

Su Meixi stayed at the military base waiting for Gu Wei.

During the days of recovering from her wound, she regularly went out to sunbathe at a fixed time every day and waited for Xiao Ding to bring her food. She read books when she was bored.

Although worried about Gu Wei, listening to the deafening sounds from the training ground every day gave her a sense of calm.

She had also added Xiao Fen on WeChat—her real name was Xi Wanfen. With only an associate degree and still a trainee nurse, her educational background wasn’t high.

Xiao Fen talked a lot in WeChat, saying she didn’t like studying since she was young, and she preferred anime and cosplay. Many cosplay photos were in her Moments, dressed up as anime characters, known as the “second dimension.”

No wonder Xiao Fen lived her life like a second-dimensional girl, shy in reality, but it was like she became someone else once she dressed up.

Xiao Fen occasionally talked about her sister but not much. It seemed her sister was quite dominant, and she didn’t really like it.

…

A week later, Gu Wei returned.

Gu Wei showed up at the door—although he had shaved off his beard on the way back, his fatigue was still visibly apparent.

This time, he had been part of a cross-border strike against Kun Bu’s stronghold.

Gu Wei and his team first ambushed on the outskirts for several days, then slowly penetrated deep inside with the help of undercover agents. Eventually, they captured everyone in one fell swoop. Throughout this period, they remained vigilant and combat-ready, so naturally, he was exhausted upon returning.

After coming back, he first checked on Su Meixi’s wound, and seeing that it was almost healed, he felt relieved.

Then he embraced her, kissing her face, as if she were some sort of energy booster, and a kiss from her could restore his vigor.

She remained still, letting him kiss her.

He carried the faint scent of green grass mixed with the earth—a distinct manly fragrance. She felt secure in his arms, and her unease settled down.

“How have you been these days?” He finally asked as he let her go.

She started to help him undress, “Quite well. Take off your clothes, I want to see if you’ve been hurt.”

This was her biggest concern.
