Brook chased after Ye Chenlin. Gu Zhenmu did not leave, but stood by the side of the wheelchair and looked at Ye Wanqing. In his hands, he was still holding the drawing board Brooke had prepared for him.
After Brook left, Ye Wanqing could no longer hold it back. Her lips were pale, and her hands were uncontrollably trembling, it was unknown whether she was angry or sad.
"Mommy, Lin Lin didn't mean to speak to you like that."
Gu Zhenmu said seriously. He felt the great grief coming from Ye Wanqing's body and he was very sad as well but he did not know how to comfort Mommy because his father did not teach him.
"I know."
He didn't want to cry in front of the child. Ye Wanqing held on to his last bit of reason and asked: "Mu Mu, can you do a favor for Mommy?"
"Alright."
"Every time Brother Lin Lin quarreled with Mommy, Mommy would buy a mango cake to cheer him up. Can you find the butler to make a small cake for him to apologize to Mommy?"
The housekeeper of the old house was omnipotent, so it wasn't difficult to make a cake.
But Gu Zhenmu did not immediately agree. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Ye Wanqing and said seriously: "Mommy, you did nothing wrong.
"Mommy's been mean to him, forcing him to do things he doesn't like to do, so of course I have to apologize to him. When he realizes he's wrong, he'll apologize to Mommy as well."
Gu Zhenmu was deep in thought, but in the end, he was persuaded by Ye Wanqing to turn around and find the butler to make the cake.
After he left, Ye Wanqing pushed her wheelchair into the elevator and pressed all the buttons from the first floor to the fifth floor. When the elevator doors closed, she could no longer hold back her tears.
There should be a monitor inside the elevator. Her ugly crying appearance might have been seen by everyone in the Gu family. They would have mocked her for being so unpromising and for being so weak.
But so what?
The sadness in her heart was overflowing uncontrollably. If she didn't vent it out like this, she would probably go crazy in the next second.
Ye Wanqing covered his face with his hands and opened his mouth to breathe. His eyes were filled with tears, his nose blocked and unable to breathe.
Hot tears rolled down her face from the gaps between her fingers. She heard herself crying like a madman. Like a knife, she cut open her heart and released the negative emotions that were accumulating inside of it.
After crying for an unknown period of time, Ye Wanqing finally calmed down. She took out a tissue and slowly wiped her tears away.
His hair was a little messy, his face was red from crying, and his eyes were swollen.
Why did the bigger the grade, the more he loved to cry?
Ye Wanqing asked himself, he could not help but raise his hand and caress his reflection in the elevator.
The walls of the elevator were cold, not the same temperature as tears.
Ye Wanqing's fingertips trembled, and the elevator door suddenly opened. Ye Wanqing realized that he was still in the first floor as he saw Butler No. 156 standing outside in her tuxedo, respectfully handing her a pure white towel.
"Madam, I think you might need this."
The towel was pure cotton, steaming, and smelled of lavender.
"Thank you."
Ye Wanqing used it to cover his eyes. Number 156 did not ask anything and just waited quietly for Ye Wanqing to finish using the towel.
"Where's Lin Lin?"
"Second Young Master is having cake with Eldest Young Master at the bakery. Should Madam go and take a look?"
"No need."
Ye Wanqing shook his head, it was fine as long as he was willing to eat, it would be the same if he could find him later to have a good talk.
Ye Wanqing returned the towel that he used, and the butler asked with concern: "Madam, do you want to heat up your eyes again?"
He called him wife three times, and it was only then that Ye Wanqing noticed the change in his way of addressing her.
However … It was just a form of address.
"No, thanks!"
After the butler left, Ye Wanqing waited for a while, then pressed the button to go up to the third floor to return to his room.
Gu Jinyuan was still peacefully sleeping. His sleeping posture was also very good, and he hadn't moved an inch as well. Ye Wanqing pushed the wheelchair over to the side of the bed, stood up, and laid on the bed beside him.
Feeling that there was someone at his side, Gu Jinyuan frowned, and after a while, he suddenly turned around and hugged Ye Wanqing.
This sudden hug made Ye Wanqing a little confused, and then his eyes started to burn again.
He was the one who gave her all the pain and pain, but after the storm, he was the one who was willing to give her a hug.
Although it was an unconscious hug.
Ye Wanqing closed his eyes, suppressing the sour tears in his eyes. After a long while, he murmured softly, "Gu Jinyuan, I think … I hate you a little now. "
The voice was very soft. Other than her, no one else could hear it.
Ye Wanqing cried too hard and quickly fell asleep in Gu Jinyuan's arms.
She was soundly asleep, so much so that she did not even know when Gu Jinyuan had woken up. She had clearly been sleeping until almost noon before, and in the afternoon, when she opened her eyes, they were already filled with stars.
Subconsciously searching for his phone to check the time, Gu Jinyuan wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom with a body of steaming water. "You're awake?"
he asked, wiping his hair as he approached.
Ye Wanqing sat up, sleeping soundly, his head felt a little dizzy, "Un, is it very late already?"
"It's after nine."
Gu Jinyuan said as he sat down on the side of the bed. His bronze-coloured, broad back was exposed in front of Ye Wanqing's eyes. As he wiped his hair, the muscles on his back tensed and relaxed.
However, Ye Wanqing didn't have the heart to appreciate it. Her eyes were very dry, and her stomach was very hungry.
Gu Jinyuan got off the bed, found a wheelchair and pressed a button. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Jinyuan called out to her: "Where are you going?"
"I'm hungry. I want to go down and find something to eat."
"Wait for me."
Gu Jinyuan requested, without waiting for Ye Wanqing's reply, he immediately pulled off his bath towel and went to the wardrobe to get his clothes.
He was not looking straight at Ye Wanqing, but the gigantic window reflected his every move clearly, so Ye Wanqing only shifted his gaze after taking a few glances.
Gu Jinyuan moved very quickly and changed into a set of loose grey house clothes. He wore a V-neck top with shorts below it that reached up to his knees.
Before her hair was finished, Gu Jinyuan changed into a new set of clothes and directly walked over to her, then naturally placed her hand on the armrest of her wheelchair. Ye Wanqing originally wanted to say that he was fine, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Since he wanted to do it, it didn't really matter whether she could or not.
"Where did this come from?"
When he pressed on the elevator, Gu Jinyuan noticed the wound on his finger.
After showering, he still hadn't torn off the Band-Aid, so he was clearly already soaked.
"You were drunk, so you accidentally broke the wine cup and got cut by the pieces. I saw that the wound wasn't deep, so I didn't call the butler to call the doctor."
Gu Jinyuan looked at the cartoon pattern on the Band-Aid and thought deeply. He could not really recall the process of him getting drunk.
"Did I say anything when I was drunk?"
Ye Wanqing did not hide anything and truthfully said: "Speak, go to your classic cellar and drink whatever I want!"
"…"
