In the evening, after Gu Qian had settled A'Yuan and An Mian down, he laid on the bed and started reading while humming a little tune.
She was in a good mood.
After helping that old man during the day, the first thing Gu Qian did upon returning home was to call his grandma. Under her countless requests, Old Madam Gu finally agreed to stay in Shen City for a few days.
The old man was old and used to his own life. He did not like living in a strange place and lacked a lot of freedom. He was also no longer able to walk around with his neighbors.
Helpless, her darling granddaughter strongly requested, adding on to the fact that she also missed those two big treasures, she helplessly and dotingly agreed, "Alright, alright! I will inform you to come pick me up in a few days, but I have said that I will stay for a few days, I will not get used to staying for a long time. Over here, Grandma Li and Grandpa Wang are both here. It's much more lively here in the city than in the city! "
Naturally, Gu Qian agreed wholeheartedly. As long as his grandmother was happy, anything would be fine.
Suddenly, Gu Qian's phone rang with a "ding dong". A WeChat message came in.
Gu Xi Nian: "What are you doing?"
Even though he was busy, he actually took the initiative to look for her. Gu Qian straightened himself like a carp and got up to reply: [I'm reading a book].
[What book?]
[On the self-cultivation of actors...]
Unexpectedly, Gu Xi Nian didn't reply for quite a while, so much so that Gu Qian even thought he had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
His phone rang again. Gu Qian opened the call with great anticipation. It was from him, [I just went to take a bath. I'm staying at my grandfather's place today.]
He probably thought that I might go upstairs to look for him, afraid that I would run out of time, so he explained.
However, coincidentally, what happened to the two of them today? They both thought of staying with the old man at home, probably because they had a mutual understanding! Gu Qian was secretly delighted at the two's tacit understanding.
[Hmm, it's good. You should spend more time with your grandfather. I called my grandma today as well. I'll bring her to Chencheng for a few days later.]
[Alright, I'll go to sleep first, you go to bed early as well. Good night.]
Gu Qian scratched his head, unable to make sense of the situation. Could it be that he had come looking for her at night just to say these words?
"Good night," Gu Qian fell into a deep sleep, filled with doubts.
"..."
Deng Rulin received the contract from Gu Qian and quickly replied. He didn't know if it was coincidental or something, but it happened to be Gu Qian's birthday. He had asked her to report to Starlight Academy.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ah Yuan and Em leaning against her window with their heads close together. She then shouted out in unison, "Mom!" Happy Birthday! "
Gu Qian's sleepiness was instantly scared out of its wits. She randomly reacted and realized that today was her birthday.
She kissed the two children on the cheek, took them into her arms, one on each side, and stroked their hairy heads. "Thank you, my darlings."
Ever since the two children had become sensible, they would give Gu Qian a different kind of birthday surprise every year. Gu Qian did not know what this year would be like, but he had a faint sense of anticipation that this year would be a little special.
"Alright, Mom will get up and make breakfast for you, then send you to the kindergarten." Gu Qian lifted the blanket and got up.
Unexpectedly, she pounced on Gu Qian and said, "Mom, there's no need for you to make breakfast! Dad's done. "
Gu Qian:?
"What?" What do you mean Dad's done? Is he outside? " Gu Qian facepalmed. Heavens, how many people would be frightened by her so early in the morning? It was obviously her birthday, and they were supposed to be surprised!
"Well, Daddy came in the morning to make breakfast and he knew it was your birthday. He was busy in the kitchen when my sister and I woke up. " A Yuan confirmed Gu Qian's doubts.
Why did he come to make breakfast again!
The point was, where did he get the key?
Gu Qian hurriedly got up. He didn't even have time to change out of his nightgown before he put on his slippers and walked out of the room. Sure enough, it was him again, a perfect man who could cook breakfast.
When Gu Xi Nian saw Gu Qishao's appearance, he looked much more casual compared to the last time he came to her house to make breakfast. He hurriedly ran out before even washing up. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face. "You're awake?"
"You, how did you get in?" Gu Qian only wanted to know how this man entered his house.
"The key, of course, came in. I am not a chivalrous hero, do you really think I am someone who would fly over a wall? " Gu Xi Nian looked at Gu Qing's frightened and panicked expression, as if he had swallowed an egg. He couldn't help but laugh and joke with her.
"How did you get the key?" Gu Qian didn't remember giving him a key. Although he had already recorded his fingerprints in the key to the Gu Xi Nian family's password, he still hadn't taken the initiative to give the key to his own home. After all, he hadn't mentioned it.
"I borrowed your family's spare key from Yu Xuan to make a match." Gu Xi Nian calmly placed the prepared noodles on the table and casually replied.
Gu Xi Nian couldn't possibly tell her that he had helped Gu Qian buy the house she rented and that the landlord had given him all the spare keys, right?
Gu Qian knew about this. Yu Xuan always had a spare key to Gu Qian's house in her hands.
Sometimes, she couldn't return home in time to pick up her children. Previously, she even went out to work part-time, so she could only ask Yu Xuan's family to take care of the two children. Just in case, Gu Qian had given them a spare key, which Yu Xuan and Auntie Yu would use.
However, she didn't expect Gu Xi Nian to not just ask her for it, and even asked Yu Xuan for the spare key to specially make one for her. She was still skeptical, and asked, "Really?"
"Yes." Gu Xi Nian's expression did not change.
He had informed Yu Xuan beforehand. If Gu Qian were to ask about this key, the two of them had to maintain an absolute tacit agreement and not leak any information.
Yu Xuan said that for Gu Qian's happiness, she would cooperate with him 100%.
Thus, Gu Xi Nian did not feel guilty at all and seriously spoke nonsense.
Gu Qian thought back to all the times that Yu Xuan had sold him, and realized that this wasn't something she wouldn't do. Besides, with Gu Xi Nian's strength, it would be easy for him to get the key he wanted.
While speaking, Gu Xi Nian had already put the prepared longevity noodles and bacon and eggs on the table. It could be said to be the Chinese and Western style breakfast.
A Yuan and A Yuan were sitting at the dining table obediently, smelling the fragrance and waiting for the meal to start.
Today, the two of them carried on the principle that their mother was their birthday, that everything depended on their mother.
Gu Xi Nian walked over and helped Gu Qian up onto the seat. He bent down and whispered into her ear, "Happy birthday, my birthday."
