Chapter 1866 - I’ll Bring You Home

Looking at the girl in his arms, how could he bear to leave her alone in this Qu family that was filled with hatred by herself?

“Ge Ge, let’s go home. Rest well tonight.”

Ji Ziming’s voice was gentle and his eyes were twinkling as he looked at Pei Ge. He felt comforted. This was a totally different person from the Ji Ziming who had been thinking of her.

“Okay, let’s go home. I’m really tired.”

Leaning on his shoulder, Pei Ge felt as though her last bit of strength had been sucked out of her.

“I’ll bring you home.”

With that, Ji Ziming carried Pei Ge in his arms and appeared in front of all the cameras. The headlines of the second day in the capital were about Mr Ji’s addiction to doting on his wife.

When they reached the Ji’s house, the three children were already asleep. Pei Ge walked to Ran Ran’s room and looked at Ran Ran’s delicate face under the moonlight. Looking at her butterfly-like eyes, she felt that time had passed too slowly.

When Ran Ran was born and she went through surgery, it was Tang Xiaoyu who was always by Pei Ge’s side. If not for Tang Xiaoyu, Pei Ge would not have been able to withstand so much pressure.

If not for Tang Xiaoyu, Pei Ge would not have achieved so much.

She would never have such an enviable life.

Little did she know that Tang Xiaoyu was also reminded of the dark times she spent with Pei Ge in the hospital a few years ago.

“Duo Duo, do you know? Mommy has a very good friend. When Mommy’s friend is in trouble, Mommy will always be by her side. Later on, Mommy’s friend had a baby, but a bad person stole one of the babies. Actually, Mommy’s friend has three babies. Your sister and brother are very cute. When you grow up a little, you’ll know how cute they are.”

Tang Xiaoyu seemed to be talking to herself as she watched Duo Duo fall asleep. She felt comforted.

Before she returned to the country, she only wanted to stay away from Gu Zhengrong for a period of time. Once she had thought things through, she would naturally go back to look for him. However, before she could do so, she realized that she was pregnant with Duo Duo. This was a huge surprise to her.

That night changed her completely.

He gently patted Duo Duo’s body and slowly closed his eyes. The scene in his memory was revealed again.

“Zhengrong, this is the coffee I made for you. You’re working so late and haven’t eaten much for dinner. Have some coffee to refresh yourself. If you want to eat anything, just tell me. I’ll make it for you right away.”

Tang Xiaoyu stood beside Gu Zhengrong and looked at the messy numbers on his computer. She knew that she could not help.

“No, thanks. Go to bed. Thanks for the coffee.”

Gu Zhengrong did not look up, nor did he look at the coffee, nor did he turn around to speak to Tang Xiaoyu.

“Zhengrong, have some coffee, it’s almost midnight.”

This was not the first time Gu Zhengrong had stayed up late at night. Looking at the man before her with an especially cold attitude, Tang Xiaoyu could not figure out why she had to stay here and watch him ignore her.

“I understand. Go to sleep. Don’t stay here and disturb me.”

Gu Zhengrong said coldly without any gentleness on his face.

“Just have some coffee.”

‘Take a sip of coffee and I’ll take that as a clean break from all our past.’

In that cup of coffee, the room was filled with the aroma of the coffee and the floating foam was telling some interesting things about the coffee.

“You’re not leaving, are you? Must you wait until I drink the coffee?”

Gu Zhengrong threw down the fountain pen in his hand and turned to look at Tang Xiaoyu with a cold expression. There was no joy in his eyes and there was a little disgust.

“Well, just have some coffee. I don’t want you to be so tired.”

Tang Xiaoyu bit her lips lightly. She seemed to have made a huge decision. Looking at the cup of coffee beside Gu Zhengrong, her voice trembled slightly. “Drink that cup of coffee. I’ll leave now.”

Gu Zhengrong had no choice but to raise his cup and drink it in one gulp. The dark brown coffee residue at the bottom of the cup was gently telling the story in the coffee.

“Tang Xiaoyu, why aren’t you leaving? I’ve already finished my coffee; you… you still want…”

Gu Zhengrong looked at Tang Xiaoyu’s figure and realized that it was not Tang Xiaoyu but Pei Ge. He could not help but close his eyes and become drowsy as he looked at the person before him.

“Ge Ge, is that you?”

When Gu Zhengrong called out Pei Ge’s name, Tang Xiaoyu stood at the same spot with a heartache. The hurt in her eyes continued to seep out, and her tears became even more exquisite as she watched Gu Zhengrong slowly stand up and walk toward her.

“Ge Ge, is that you? Is it really you? Are you really here? Don’t leave me again, okay?”

Gu Zhengrong sobbed as he inched closer to Tang Xiaoyu.

Tang Xiaoyu’s heart sank to rock bottom. She could not see the darkness around her nor could she see the lights in the distance. In her confusion, she only saw Gu Zhengrong.

“I, Tang Xiaoyu, have always lived a proud and upright life. It’s only with you that I made a mistake for the first time, but I don’t regret it.”

Tang Xiaoyu hugged Gu Zhengrong tightly. The tears in her eyes finally broke through the dam, leaving two clear trails on her fair face. The tears in her heart could not stop. How could Gu Zhengrong know anything about her heartache and grievances?

The man she was hugging tightly, her heart, eyes, and mouth were filled with images of her best friend, Pei Ge. Only by doing something special to him would she be able to have someone else’s love.

Gu Zhengrong did not understand the sadness in her heart. He slowly moved his lips closer to hers and kissed her tightly, as if he wanted to suck her dry.

“Ge Ge… Ge Ge…”

He mumbled.

Tang Xiaoyu helped Gu Zhengrong into the bedroom. Her tears finally started to flow when she saw Gu Zhengrong in front of her. Everyone said that women in love were fools. Tang Xiaoyu felt that she was a fool.
