That night, Gu Qingyue didn't see the little girl at home. He originally thought that she would come back by herself in the evening.
I called, but no one answered.
"Master Gu, the little madam hasn't come back so late. Why don't you send someone to look for her?"
Gu Qingyue sat on the sofa, lowered his head and rubbed his brow, then stood up with his coat, "I'll go out and look for it."
The housekeeper looked at his hurried away figure and sighed helplessly.
The two rarely quarreled, but their relationship has been a bit tricky recently.
There was a cold war over a secretary a few days ago, and there was another misunderstanding today.
Gu Qingyue drove around on the road, subconsciously stopping to take a look every time he passed a familiar place.
But I never saw her figure.
"Hello, little uncle?" Gu Xueran was boxing in the boxing gym when she received his call.
Gu Qingyue leaned against the car window. Under the illumination of the street lights, his profile was a bit cold and hard, "Is Shu Xiaoluo with you?"
"No, little uncle, why do you ask that? Isn't she with you?"
"It's okay."
Gu Qingyue hung up the phone and wanted to call Ji Xixi again.
But he didn't have Ji Xixi's contact information, so he called Li Yuanjing instead.
Li Yuanjing said: "I just asked Xixi and she said Xiaoluo is not with her."
Gu Qingyue called Gu Xuening next. If there was no more Gu Xuening, then the little girl must have been hiding secretly by herself.
As expected, Gu Xuening also said no.
Gu Qing became more and more helpless and started driving around.
*
After Gu Xuening hung up, she put down her phone and raised her eyes to look at the little girl beside her.
Shu Xiaoluo sat on the sofa, holding her legs tightly with her arms and burying her head between her legs.
Looking at her trembling shoulders, she must have been crying.
This is the lounge of Gu Xuening's laboratory building. Shu Xiaoluo walked here unknowingly. He had nowhere to go, so he had to come in.
After Gu Xuening roughly knew something about the situation, she calmly comforted her, "Don't be too sad. Just wait until they find out the matter and clear your name."
"But uncle misunderstood me. He thought Brother Zhengyu and I really slept together."
When Gu Xuening heard this, she pursed her lips and said nothing. She was not good at comforting people.
Shu Xiaoluo's cell phone rang, this time it was Ouyang Zhengyu calling.
She still didn't answer, and even threw the phone aside.
Gu Xuening picked it up and looked at it, and saw several messages from Ouyang Zhengyu.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoluo. This matter is a misunderstanding. I will explain it clearly to Gu Qingyue. Nothing happened between us."
"Xiaoluo, where are you now? Why can't I contact you?"
"Xiaoluo, please reply to me when you see the message, okay?"
It can be seen that Ouyang Zhengyu is also worried about her.
Gu Xuening put down her phone, stood up and said, "You can stay quiet here with me if you want. I won't tell anyone that you are here, but I hope you can cheer up. There is no obstacle that you can't overcome."
After that, she turned and walked away.
Shu Xiao fell into his room and couldn't help but cry softly.
When she recalled her uncle's eyes full of loss, her heart ached.
It was she who made him sad.
He must think that she is a casual girl.
She didn't want to answer anyone's phone calls, she just wanted to stay quietly.
When Gu Xuening came out, she saw a person standing next to her.
Li Yuanhao was wearing neat casual clothes, standing with his hands in his pockets, his resolute face full of coldness.
"Aren't you going back to the team?" She asked with surprise on her face.
"I made a report and will go back a few days later."
"oh."
Gu Xuening put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, turned and walked away.
Li Yuanhao turned to look at Shu Xiaoluo in the room, frowned and asked, "Are you really not going to tell Gu Qingyue about her being here?"
She paused slightly, turned around and solemnly reminded, "Don't interfere in their affairs."
"I know."
"Um."
Li Yuanhao followed her silently, even wanting to follow her into the laboratory.
A hint of impatience appeared on Gu Xuening's cold and delicate face, "What are you going to do? What are you going to do with me?"
"Xue Ning, I will accompany you to get off work today."
"Why?"
"It's okay, because I'm free."
Gu Xuening was speechless, ignored him, turned and walked away.
Li Yuanhao did not interrupt her work and sat down on the rest chair outside.
I took out my mobile phone and there was a text message from my mother hanging on it.
"Yuan Hao, you must have a child with Xu Ning before you can return to the team. Otherwise, Xu Ning will divorce you and you will regret it. Where can you find such a good girl? Don't not cherish her."
Li Yuanhao clenched his phone and was thinking in his mind.
If the two of them continue to get along like this, they will only go further and further apart, and maybe one day she will change her mind and want to divorce him.
He didn't know what was going on, but now that he thought that she might divorce him, he felt panicked and felt very uncomfortable.
So he accepted his mother's advice and returned to the team after having a child with Xuening.
At this time, Gu Qingyue called.
Li Yuanhao picked up, "Is something wrong?"
"Have you seen my little girl?"
Gu Qingyue called all his acquaintances, and even Li Yuanhao called to ask, which shows how worried he is about her now.
Li Yuanhao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the lounge, and was about to say that he saw it.
But thinking about what Gu Xuening said just now...
When the words came to his lips, he slowly changed his words and said, "Your own wife, ask me what I am doing, and I am not with your wife."
"Pa—" Gu Qingyue hung up the phone directly.
Li Yuanhao took back his phone and thought silently in his heart, I'm sorry, brother.
Shu Xiaoluo felt uncomfortable alone in the lounge for a long time, and then lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
After Gu Xuening finished the experiment, she came over to take a look at her.
I found a blanket and covered her with it to prevent her from catching a cold.
Li Yuanhao stood at the door and watched, and when she came out, he asked, "Are you going to let her stay here all the time? Your uncle even called me."
Gu Xuening closed the door, crossed her arms and said coldly, "Since she came to my place, it means that she trusts me. It's up to her to decide whether to go back or not. If she wants to stay with me, I agree."
"Then you'll stay here tonight too?"
She lowered her head and looked at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. "I'll go out for a walk and buy some food and come back to eat with Xiaoluo."
"Then I'll go too." Li Yuanhao picked up the coat on the sofa and was about to follow him out.
Gu Xuening looked at him doubtfully, and then realized that he had been staying here all day, and had lunch here hastily.
