C97 (2/2)

”Who's there?”

Gu Zhongrou's reaction was extremely fast, he could only see a shadow before he stopped and his expression changed from being serious to one of satisfaction.

A young girl who didn't know the world, who could she fight against?

Lu Qinan was panicking inwardly, and his mind immediately became a mess.

How could Qin Xuanman be pregnant?

She wholeheartedly wanted to be with Fourth Uncle, and even helped him leave … How could she suddenly get pregnant in just a few months' time? Recently, there hadn't been any news of her having a boyfriend or getting married, so she loudly announced the matter of her pregnancy.

Could it be …

He did not know how long he waited, but Lu Qinan was hiding in a corner on the top floor, looking through the glass at the snowflakes falling from the sky, his mind was in a mess.

Then there was a commotion downstairs.

”Where is she?”

”I'm asking you people, An An!”

Fourth Uncle's voice.

Lu Qinan bit his lips, hearing the sound of messy footsteps, knowing that he was looking for him, he quickly got up and walked to the stairs, seeing the straight body below, and the gloomy face of the man.

Gu Yueyue was given a big fright, and after a long while, she finally stretched out her delicate finger and pointed upstairs.

”Fourth Uncle.”

The little miss' soft voice transmitted over. Only then did Gu Zhongshen, who was still in the air, finally relax. With a few steps, he rushed over and grabbed her, ”Why are you always running around!?”

”What are you doing up there when the heating is not enough? Are you bored or uncomfortable? ”

The man's thick hands landed on her arms and rubbed them back and forth.

Until Lu Qinan's entire body was warm, then finally led her downstairs.

He found a room and entered.

”Come and sit.”

Gu Zhongshen dragged the other person onto the bed, wrapped the blanket around, and said coldly, ”Gu’s Yard is not as warm as home, it's even colder at night on the mountain. Don't run around, it's not good for your body, hm?”

It was rare for her to be so obedient, so she silently nodded her head.

Only then did she get a chance to look around the room.

Inside was a black and white arrangement that looked clean and simple. The wall on one side of the bed had been converted into a bookcase and had been filled to the brim. Other than a few books, the two sides of the bed were clean and devoid of anything else.

”Fourth Uncle, is this your previous room?”

”Yes.”

He had never been to this room before. The color in the room was very monotonous and even the curtains were heavy. Actually, he could roughly see a person's heart from the layout of the room. It was lonely but calm.

”I'll get a cup of hot water.”

The tall figure passed by her side, bringing up a light breeze. The little girl let out an ”Oh” and cutely hid at the foot of the bed, listening to the familiar footsteps, the panic in her heart gradually dispersed.

The quilt beside him was a dark blue cotton. It was obvious that no one had slept in the room for a long time, but there had always been someone cleaning it.

She stood up and looked around. She couldn't help but have a strange mood.

This was the house that Fourth Uncle had lived in for many years.

The drawer beside her was not locked. Stunned, she stretched out her hand and pulled it open.

Gu Zhongshen heard a crisp breaking sound from outside the door.

He stiffened for a moment before rushing in without hesitation. He saw the little girl standing there stupidly with broken glass all over the floor. She had a helpless look on her face, as if she had been stabbed by something. Her eyes were red.

”What's with the restlessness?”

Gu Zhongshen scolded, and quickly pulled her away. She opened her fingers one by one until she was sure that there was no wound on them. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

Raising her head to look at the little girl's absent-minded and reddened eyes, her lips moved slightly as she blinked, ”I'm sorry Fourth Uncle, I broke your things …”

”If it's broken, then it's broken. Just get someone to clean it up.”

He didn't seem to care at all, and the girl he was holding in his arms pointed to the ground with red eyes as she spoke hoarsely.

”It's a picture frame. It's in that drawer.” I'm sorry Fourth Uncle, I didn't mean to go through your things... ”That's it. Open it and see it.”

Then, when I saw the photo, the frame broke.

Gu Zhongshen's expression congealed, his upright body bending down, and picking out a perfectly preserved photo from the glass fragments on the ground.

Turn it over.

There was a group photo of a young couple intimately leaning against each other. The woman was smiling, but her eyes were focused on the face of the woman even though the man who held her didn't smile.

Face to Face... His lips almost touched hers. Even through the lens, one could see the love in his eyes.

Lu Qinan lowered his head, and without knowing what he was feeling in his heart, he gently opened his mouth.

”I heard she's pregnant, too.”
