Meng Nianyao subconsciously looked at Gu Wencheng.

Gu Wencheng replied with a smile, “You’re just a little weak. Then if there’s a small problem, you just need to take medicine for a while to recuperate.”

Girls would have some small problems every now and then, so Gu Wencheng’s answer didn’t make Grandma Gu suspicious.

“Then listen to Doctor Fang. A girl’s physical weakness can be serious or minor.” Grandma Gu held Meng Nianyao’s hand and reminded her, “Nianyao, you have to be obedient and take your medicine properly, okay?” For the sake of your health and for the sake of having a healthy baby with Wencheng in the future, why don’t you work a little harder now?” Grandma Gu smiled and spoke as if she was coaxing a child.

However, Meng Nianyao knew that it would be very difficult for her to get pregnant based on what Dr. Fang had said today.

Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu and suppressed her thoughts. She smiled.

Grandma Gu smiled. She was really happy as she pulled Meng Nianyao toward the dining room. Grandpa Gu and Gu Wencheng were behind him. Grandpa Gu glanced at Gu Wencheng, but Gu Wencheng pretended not to see him.

The dinner was very enjoyable. After dinner, the group went to the living room to chat.

Ever since Grandma Gu fell ill, Grandpa Gu’s temper had improved a lot. When he listened to their conversation, his face was full of smiles. Ever since Grandma Gu had fallen ill, the doctor had told her to rest on time. Therefore, before nine o’clock, Grandpa Gu started to chase her away. “It’s getting late. You guys go back. Your Grandma and I need to rest.”

Grandma Gu was chatting happily with Meng Nianyao when she heard that. She frowned. “If you want to sleep, go ahead. I’ll talk to Nianyao for a while.”

Every time Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao accompanied Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, they had the illusion that they were accompanying two children.

Meng Nianyao smiled and coaxed Grandma Gu. “Grandma, I’ll come and chat with you tomorrow, okay?” It’s getting late. You and Grandpa need to rest, and Gu Wencheng and I need to go home. Or you and Grandpa can go to our place tomorrow and I can cook for you tonight? It just so happens that you haven’t taught me the chicken soup you said you wanted to teach me last time.”

Grandma Gu couldn’t take it anymore when Meng Nianyao acted coquettishly. “Okay, okay.” She nodded quickly.

Back home, Gu Wencheng received a work call and went to the study. It was almost 11 o’clock when Meng Nianyao finished washing up. She looked at her phone and saw that it was full of messages from her colleague. The colleague said that there were more and more rumors in the company, saying that Fu Yi was fired because he offended her. The general meaning was that she shamelessly used Gu Wencheng to take revenge.

There were about twenty messages. Meng Nianyao glanced at them and replied to her colleague with an ‘I got it’. Then, she logged out of WeChat.

Meng Nianyao thought about it for a while, tapped on Ping Yang’s number, and then gave up. Why was Fu Yi fired? Was it really because of her? She was a little frustrated. She threw away the phone in her hand and leaned against the pillow to slide into the blanket. She wrapped herself up, leaving only her head outside.

Meng Nianyao wasn’t upset because Fu Yi had been fired; Fu Yi had been making things difficult for her since they met, so even if she couldn’t find a job after being fired, Meng Nianyao wouldn’t sympathize with her. So now she was thinking about whether Gu Wencheng would fire Fu Yi because of her—because Fu Yi bullied her? For not caring about her on a snowy day?

Meng Nianyao grabbed the blanket and wanted to ask Gu Wencheng, but she felt that there was no need to. In the end, she was so conflicted that she ended up staying up late.

Gu Wencheng was still in a meeting then. Meng Nianyao glanced at the time and saw that it was almost one o’clock in the morning, so she went to find him.

Gu Wencheng was still in a video conference on the computer. He wore a pair of frameless glasses, and his expression was cold. The moment Meng Nianyao entered, he looked up, and the coldness in his eyes softened.

“Come here.”

Meng Nianyao pursed her lips and walked toward him.

Gu Wencheng turned off the video conference and went to take Meng Nianyao’s hand. He looked at her bare feet. “Where are your shoes?”

“I forgot to wear them.”

“Not even shoes? You just want me to hug you, right?” Gu Wencheng held Meng Nianyao in his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder. He took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Have you slept?”

Meng Nianyao didn’t say anything. Gu Wencheng looked up at her. She didn’t look sleepy at all and there was a little bruise under her eyes. Meng Nianyao’s health wasn’t good, so she couldn’t stay up late.

Meng Nianyao subconsciously covered her face when Gu Wencheng asked..
