Chapter 655 Out of Control
Afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm golden hue over the spotless entryway.
Gu Sili gently lifted his foot and stepped into the house.
Although the traces left by the car accident have faded, the body, which had been tormented by the virus, has not yet fully recovered, so a lingering weariness still hangs between the eyebrows.
Just then, a cheerful, childlike voice suddenly rang out:
Welcome home, Dad!
The living room was carefully "decorated".
Colorful balloons were stuck crookedly to the wall, and long, colorful streamers hung from the ceiling.
A crooked heart was made up of various toys and picture books on the floor.
An'an held a painting high in both hands.
It was almost half his size.
The painting features three little figures holding hands, rendered in bold yet naive colors.
Next to it were large, crooked words: "Dad, Mom, An'an".
The little guy's face was flushed with excitement as he looked at Gu Sili with anticipation and pride.
He announced in his childish voice, "Mommy and Daddy, this is something I've been drawing for a long time. Do you like it?"
Looking at his son's happy smile, Gu Sili felt a sense of relief.
The gloom of hospitalization and the hidden pain in my body seemed to be dispelled at this moment.
He knelt down, opened his arms, and embraced the soft little body.
"I like it, Dad likes it very, very much."
The man's voice was deep and slightly hoarse as he gently stroked his son's hair with his large hands, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world. "Thank you, baby."
"An'an, you're amazing!"
Yun Ning, who was standing to the side, saw this scene and her eyes instantly turned red.
In the sunlight, a tall, handsome man carefully holds his young son.
The scene was so beautiful that it made her heart flutter.
Yun Ning couldn't help but step forward, stretch out her arms, and gently hug the two most important men in her life from behind.
Her cheek rested happily against Gu Sili's broad back as she whispered, "Gu Sili, I'm so happy."
However, the next second, Gu Sili's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
Then, quite naturally, he adjusted his posture, causing Yun Ning's embrace to fall through.
The man didn't even turn around to look at her.
It seemed that all her attention was focused on the son in her arms.
Yun Ning's arm froze in mid-air.
The overflowing happiness in my heart deflated quickly, like a punctured balloon.
A profound sense of emptiness, disappointment, and coldness filled my chest, causing me great discomfort.
At this moment, Xu Wanxia stepped forward, breaking the delicate silence: "Sir, Madam, lunch is ready. It was carefully prepared according to your tastes during your recovery period. Would you like to eat now?"
Yun Ning forced herself to stay alert and said, "Okay, we've driven all the way here, everyone must be tired. Let's start eating."
Gu Wei, rubbing his stomach, chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, we're starving! Sister Xu, hurry up!"
Just then, Gu Sili suddenly put An'an down.
He stood up, his tone calm and even slightly aloof, as if it were business: "The company has some urgent documents to process, so you can skip lunch. You can eat."
The living room fell silent for a moment after he said that.
Gu Wei was the first to react, almost blurting out, "Cousin! Are you kidding me? You just got discharged from the hospital! No matter how important work is, there's no need to rush, is there?"
He frowned, his eyes filled with disbelief: This seemed to be the first time since his cousin and his wife had reconciled that he had taken the initiative to leave his wife behind and go to work.
It's so abnormal!
Gu Sili didn't look at Yun Ning, but turned his gaze directly to Gu Wei, with an unquestionable determination: "Jiang Yu has taken a long leave, and there's a lot of backlogged work. You take me there."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei shook his head vigorously: "I'm not going! I'm starving, I need to eat! Can your sister-in-law take you?"
Even someone as easygoing as him could sense the subtle distance between his cousin and his wife.
Therefore, Gu Wei thought of creating some alone time for the two of them to strengthen their relationship.
Gu Sili, however, seemed not to have heard his suggestion, or rather, deliberately ignored that option.
He said indifferently, "Then I'll drive myself."
As he spoke, the man lifted his foot to reach for the car keys.
"..."
Yun Ning felt a lump in her throat, a bitter and indescribable ache.
Ever since Gu Sili woke up, he has been indifferent to her.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
However, Gu Sili's health is of utmost importance.
Yun Ning finally suppressed her disappointment and grievances and gently instructed Gu Wei, "Gu Wei, your cousin has just been discharged from the hospital and his body has not fully recovered yet. Don't let him get tired. Or... why don't you take him there?"
Since the last time, Gu Wei has had great faith in Yun Ning.
Seeing that she had spoken, he could only sigh reluctantly and say, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, cousin. Let's go, I'll take you there."
"kindness."
Gu Sili gave a curt reply and walked out without looking back.
Yun Ning stood there, feeling that all the warm decorations in the room had lost their color and felt empty.
Even Xu Wanxia, who was standing to the side, frowned thoughtfully.
She muttered to herself, "The master seems to have changed quite a bit since he came back this time."
Meanwhile, at the foot of the Gu Group building.
Fan Qianqian, who had dressed up carefully, was pacing anxiously near the main gate.
She received a message from Chen Ziqi's subordinates saying that Gu Sili was returning today.
Anticipating that the man might come to the company, she rushed over, hoping for a "chance encounter".
Thinking of this, Fan Qianqian took out the mirror again, looked at her makeup, and tidied her hair.
Although the effectiveness of the antiviral reagent has been fully verified on Jiang Mo.
But she still felt uncertain when facing Gu Sili.
After all, this man is no ordinary person.
Just as Fan Qianqian was feeling extremely anxious, a shout came from not far away: "Hey! Miss! I'm talking to you!"
Fan Qianqian looked up and saw a security guard from the Gu Group walking quickly towards her. "Get out of here! You're not allowed to linger!"
The security guards at Gu's company all knew Fan Qianqian.
Because Gu Wei had specifically instructed that this woman was not allowed to approach this place.
Fan Qianqian's face stiffened, but she forced herself to remain calm: "I'm waiting for someone! What right do you have to kick me out?"
"We can't wait for anyone! Let's go!"
The security guard was adamant, and two other security guards also came over.
"You! What are you trying to do!"
Fan Qianqian was furious and started yelling.
However, the security guards didn't take her seriously at all, and simply picked her up from both sides and forcibly dragged her away from the gate area.
In the struggle, her high heels slipped, and she fell to the ground.
Her carefully chosen dress was now covered in wrinkles and mud, making her look quite disheveled.
Fan Qianqian clenched her fists, vowing fiercely in her heart: Just you wait! Once Gu Sili falls in love with me, the first thing I'll do is fire all of you watchdogs!
Just then, a black Maybach came to a smooth stop in front of the company gate.
Gu Wei had just driven Gu Sili here.
He opened the driver's side door and prepared to get out of the car.
A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up dust and bringing with it Fan Qianqian's unique scent.
Gu Sili, sitting in the back seat, was taken aback.
I felt as if something was squeezing my heart.
Immediately, a strange yet intense surge of emotion and pity welled up uncontrollably, overwhelming his reason.
Gu Sili suddenly turned his head and saw Fan Qianqian not far away.
