Chapter 1117: Unwilling to Pull Out of Gu Qingcheng’s Embrace
Xu Wanwan beamed especially vibrantly and charmingly. There was now a hint of the color of blood on her face that was pale from her menstrual pains.
“Then, I’ll be counting on you for the rest of my life, Professor Bai!”
Hearing his girlfriend’s soft and sweet voice, Professor Bai raised his couple’s mug and took a sip. “Don’t worry… you won’t be treated shabbily!”
…
In the car on the way back to the Cloud Top Condominium, Yun Liuli hugged Gu Qingcheng’s arm, resting her head on his shoulders and saying softly, “Uncle Qingcheng… can you not let the family doctor stay with us? I don’t like it when others are around! With Uncle Qingcheng and Auntie Li around, it’ll be enough. If there are too many people, I’ll feel as uneasy as the hospital!”
Gu Qingcheng turned his head and looked at the wheedling young lady, not letting her have her way this time. “The family doctor is necessary. This is for your safety! If you don’t like that there are people at home, then I’ll just ask the family doctor to stay at the hotel beside the Cloud Top Condominium. The doctor can come over to check on your condition and to do the IV drip, okay?”
Yun Liuli nodded. She rubbed her petite face against Gu Qingcheng’s arm. “Uncle Qingcheng, you treat me really well!”
The assistant in the front passenger seat’s heart was quivering. He had worked for Gu Qingcheng for so many years and thought he understood Gu Qingcheng very well. Why was Gu Qingcheng suddenly doting on and indulging Yun Liuli so much?
Actually, the assistant was aware that Gu Qingcheng had deliberately avoided Yun Liuli because he knew that Yun Liuli had feelings for him.
Although Yun Liuli had lost her memory and was a seven-year-old child mentally…
She was, after all, still a young lady!
Perhaps his boss had sorted out his thoughts after the accident and had decided to live out the rest of his life with the girl he liked!
The assistant didn’t utter a sound and tried to pretend he didn’t exist. Alright… in any case, so long as his boss was happy, anything would do!
When they got back to the Cloud Top Condominium, Auntie Li was already done tidying up. Because she was taking care of a patient, Auntie Li cooked light-flavored dishes.
As she was somewhat familiar with Yun Liuli, after Auntie Li learned that the child had no parents, her heart ached for her. Hence, she doted on Yun Liuli like she was her own child.
Seeing Yun Liuli playing Tetris on the smartphone Gu Qingcheng just bought for her, Auntie Li called out to her, urging her to drink the soup that was turning cold. Auntie Li had specifically asked for the recipe of this soup, which was said to be really beneficial for injured people.
Yun Liuli distractedly responded, but she continued playing with her phone. Auntie Li, who was wiping the table, walked over and took the phone from Yun Liuli’s hands, deliberately making a stern face. “Drink the soup quickly!”
Yun Liuli hurriedly raised the bowl and grinned at Auntie Li in a silly manner. “Auntie Li, don’t be angry. I’ll drink it right now!”
Gu Qingcheng, who just came out of the bathroom, saw this scene and couldn’t resist smiling…
Gu Qingcheng could tell that Auntie Li, whom Lin Nuan asked to help take care of Yun Liuli, was truly good to her, especially dedicated.
Yun Liuli finished the soup that wasn’t too hot in one swoop. Auntie Li then returned the phone to Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli then pulled a long face and said, “Auntie Li, you didn’t press pause for me. I died!”
“What nonsense are you saying?” Gu Qingcheng frowned and lectured Yun Liuli.
“I’m talking about the game, Uncle Qingcheng!” Yun Liuli raised her phone and waved it.
Auntie Li smiled and took the soup bowl to the kitchen. Shen then tidied up and went upstairs.
As Lin Nuan had the intention to create opportunities for Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli, when she heard that they were going back to the Cloud Top Condominium, Lin Nuan asked Auntie Li to stay in the guestroom of their apartment upstairs.
Auntie Li wasn’t an outsider to the Fu family, so Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an didn’t mind.
Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng were the only ones left in the large living room. Yun Liuli obediently laid in Gu Qingcheng’s arms as she played Tetris, then watched Lin Nuan’s show with him. Under Gu Qingcheng’s urging, she went to bed at 9:30 pm.
In the room, only a small night light was turned on. Yun Liuli wrapped herself firmly with the blanket… her black and bright eyes staring fixedly on the gentle glow of the night light.
They were already at the Cloud Top Condominium now, and not at the hospital!
She had to think of an excuse under the pretense of an ignorant “seven-year-old little girl” and do something to Gu Qingcheng.
“Hong long long—”
A sudden peal of thunder startled Yun Liuli.
She turned around and looked at the window that didn’t have the curtains drawn. Almost right after, bean-sized rain droplets started falling upon the glass.
The half-closed window was blown open by the wind, and the sound of the rain outside was even more apparent now.
Yun Liuli stood up and walked to the window to close it. She looked at Haicheng, which was suddenly shrouded in heavy rain…
The Cloud Top Condominium was named as it was because of its substantial height, from which one could look at the scenery in Haicheng.
Precisely because it was high, the thunder and lightning were especially clear.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the dark skies, followed by the rumbling of thunder that sounded so loud it was as if it happened right next to her ears.
Yun Liuli was so scared that she retreated a step, her petite face ghastly pale. She immediately ran out of her room and towards Gu Qingcheng’s room. She knocked anxiously. “Uncle Qingcheng… Uncle Qingcheng!”
Gu Qingcheng was still working. Hearing Yun Liuli calling out his name anxiously, he could guess that the young lady was frightened by the sound of thunder.
When he opened the door, the young lady pounced into his arms, her face as pale as a sheet.
“Uncle Qingcheng, I’m so scared! The thunder sounds like it’s rumbling right above my head!” Yun Liuli quivered all over as she spoke.
Yun Liuli had been scared of the rumbling of thunder since she was young. She wasn’t putting on an act and was, in fact, genuinely scared!
Gu Qingcheng caressed Yun Liuli’s back gently, then held Yun Liuli’s wrist, which was holding him, afraid she might exert too much force in the hug and aggravate her wound. “It’s fine, don’t be scared! Uncle Qingcheng will keep you company! Don’t exert strength in your arm… your wound isn’t fully recovered!”
The young lady sniffled and nodded, then looked up at Gu Qingcheng and asked, “Uncle Qingcheng… can I sleep with you tonight? In the past… when it rained and thundered, I would sleep with Daddy!”
Gu Qingcheng paused slightly…
In the past? The young lady was referring to the time before she was seven!
It would be fine if she was a little girl, but Yun Liuli was clearly no longer one.
“Uncle Qingcheng…” The young lady’s nostrils flared in aggrievedness, tears falling down her cheeks.
Seeing Yun Liuli cry, Gu Qingcheng’s heart softened. He slowly raised a hand to wipe away the young lady’s tears….
“Hong long long—”
It was another rumble of thunder. Yun Liuli was so scared that she hugged Gu Qingcheng tightly and buried her face into his chest, not even caring about the wound on her arm.
“Alright, alright!” Gu Qingcheng patted Yun Liuli’s back. “Sleep here with Uncle Qingcheng, don’t be scared!”
Yun Liuli nodded like a little chick pecking at grains, unwilling to pull out of Gu Qingcheng’s embrace.
