Gu Qiusha was stunned.
Has the baby already been rescued in such a short time?
The surprise outweighed the hurt from her marriage as Gu Qiusha stepped forward to Xi Rubao. Seeing the data on the life monitoring instruments was indeed stable, unlike the earlier ups and downs with frequent alarms, her suspended heart finally settled down.
Coming back to her senses, she suspiciously glanced at Bao Gucheng: "You are...? Why do I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before?"
The man in front of her was tall and imposing, exuding a powerful aura that ordinary people didn’t have. His features were rugged and particularly resolute, though he was an exceptionally good-looking young man, the feeling he gave off was a bit too overpowering.
What’s the deal with her daughter being with him?
Bao Gucheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Gu Qiusha had been kicked out by the Gu Family for more than twenty years now; they shouldn’t have met in the imperial capital.
Should he take this opportunity to introduce himself to this lady?
After all, sooner or later, they’re going to become... family.
Zuzi also narrowed her eyes.
Hmm, Xiao Sha had seen the young man before, last time at the intersection, because the little crow Wanli came at her call, causing a big traffic jam. She happened to get into Bao Gucheng’s car, and at that time, Gu Qiusha saw and asked quite a few questions.
Didn’t expect Xiao Sha’s memory to be quite good.
Gu Qiusha scanned back and forth between the two, filled with confusion.
Finally, she remembered: "Oh, I know, I heard from my brother that my father found a very knowledgeable teacher in the imperial capital to tutor Zuzi. You must be Zuzi’s teacher, right?"
Zuzi earnestly said, "Uh-huh. He teaches very well."
After all, those incomprehensible ancient poems were patiently explained word by word by the young man.
Gu Qiusha felt relieved. A teacher with a bit of sternness and strength is good; it can help Zuzi improve her grades.
She looked at Bao Gucheng with softer and more respectful eyes.
"Zuzi, you should learn well from the teacher. The college entrance exam is in two days, don’t keep doing practice questions on your own, it’s too tiring. Listen to the teacher’s tips for closing gaps."
"It’s so late, don’t keep the teacher from resting. You should quickly send the teacher home; I’ll stay here with the baby."
Bao Gucheng’s face was stiff as he listened to the natural conversation between the mother and daughter: "..."
Your grandfather doesn’t want to be any teacher, thank you.
Zuzi pulled him away.
Bao Gucheng really wanted to clarify his identity to his future mother-in-law, but Zuzi didn’t stop walking: "Let’s go, Xiao Chenger. Don’t disturb Xiao Sha, she was frightened by Xiaocao Fish jumping off a building tonight and hurt deeply by those two bastards. Let her be alone."
Bao Gucheng took a deep breath: "Okay."
He had already gathered all the intel on his way here.
Tonight, Xi Rubao’s jump was solely Xi Ruzhu’s fault.
If it weren’t for Xi Ruzhu’s antics, he should have been enjoying a lovely evening with the little woman tonight, having a sweet distant date.
As for the other bastard... causing Gu Qiusha to be so distraught, interrupting their intimacy in the operating room... that bastard also shouldn’t expect to have it easy.
His eyes grew a little darker.
The one who ruins his date is unforgivable.
Wei Yang drove the two, first dropping Zuzi off at the Xi home.
Zuzi got out of the car, stood at the gate, and waved: "Xiao Chenger, be careful on your way back."
Bao Gucheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed, then suddenly said: "Just now Zuzi seemed to say your little bed is as soft as cotton. I haven’t seen such a soft bed."
Wei Yang didn’t understand why his lord suddenly uttered such an irrelevant line.
Zuzi tilted her head: "Uh-huh. So?"
Bao Gucheng’s eyes were calm and sincere: "So, isn’t Zuzi inviting me upstairs to see for myself?"
