The night was deep, and Gu Qingchen was still studying medical cases, searching for information related to Zong Zheng’s case. He took a sip of tea, then rubbed his brow.
He glanced at the time again. It was almost midnight.
Gu Qingchen checked his phone, but Bei Ran hadn’t called him.
He looked out the window at the night sky. The dim light shone upon the tranquil surface of the lake.
He got used to the days she was at home, to the days he never had to wait for her, to the days it was always her waiting for him.
In fact, the more one ages, the harder it becomes to shake off habits.
But he didn’t need to shake it off.
Because he had already decided to spend the years waiting alongside her.
Gu Qingchen didn’t wait any longer but took his coat and drove out.
When he arrived near the bar, he stepped out of the car, stood by the car door, and lit up a cigarette. This colorful street was full of nighttime allure.
At that moment, Gu Qingchen’s phone rang. He opened the car door, took out his phone, and saw the caller ID. His brow furrowed slightly.
"Mr. Gu?" said the other party. "I’m sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I have a very important piece of news for you..."
Gu Qingchen didn’t say much. "Send it to my phone!"
When he saw the topic, it was actually...
Although Bei Ran’s face wasn’t clearly captured, Gu Qingchen could still recognize her.
Moreover, she was being carried out by Zhuo Yufeng.
In the darkness, Gu Qingchen’s handsome face was as cold as water, his gaze as tranquil as a still black sea; when it stirred, it was like stars drifting across the sky.
But at this moment, his eyes were filled with an endless chill.
"Suppress all news," Gu Qingchen said. "Buy out the exclusive rights, and I will transfer the money to you later!"
"Yes, Mr. Gu," the other party immediately complied.
Zhuo Yufeng drove his car, having tasks to handle at the bar tonight. He didn’t drink, and now he was bringing two drunken women back home.
He first dropped Zheng Tong off at her Sea View Villa.
"Dr. Zheng..." Zhuo Yufeng opened the car door. "Can you walk?"
Zheng Tong and Bei Ran were snuggled up together, their cheeks flushed as red as Fortunella fruits.
"I can..." Zheng Tong staggered out of the car.
Bei Ran mumbled, "Yufeng, take her to her room. She drank a lot..."
Zhuo Yufeng, supporting Zheng Tong, took the keys from her purse, opened the door, and then walked her to his room.
He tucked her into bed, covered her with a blanket, and then walked out.
But, as he was leaving, it just so happened that Duan Feixun arrived.
Seeing him at Zheng Tong’s place so late, Duan Feixun immediately flared up, "Zhuo Yufeng, how can you do this? Tongtong is still my wife..."
Zhuo Yufeng looked at him coldly, "Attorney Duan, Dr. Zheng and I have nothing to hide, whereas you are being paranoid. Of course, lawyers like you who cannot distinguish right from wrong, besides recognizing money, what else do you acknowledge?"
After finishing, he turned and walked away. Duan Feixun glared at his receding figure and quickly went upstairs to check on Zheng Tong.
When Duan Feixun got upstairs and saw Zheng Tong quietly lying in bed, with no signs of her clothes being disturbed, he finally felt relieved.
Sitting beside her, smelling the alcohol on her breath, he was suddenly overcome with mixed emotions.
Perhaps Zheng Tong found her clothes uncomfortable to sleep in; she started to kick off the blanket, then tried to unbutton her clothes, and then attempted to turn over but felt too weak...
Suddenly, she moved, "I feel sick..."
Quickly, Duan Feixun held her and rushed to her bedroom’s bathroom, where she bent over the toilet and began to vomit.
Duan Feixun gently patted her back. After throwing up, she just sat on the floor.
"I feel so dirty, I need a shower..." Zheng Tong mumbled.
"I’ll do it..." Duan Feixun adjusted the water temperature for her, threw her clothes into the basket, then lifted her into the bathtub.
The warm water made Zheng Tong feel much better. She closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep.
Duan Feixun took a clean sponge and began to wash her gently from head to toe.
Even though she was his wife, such chances to observe her were rare!
At this moment, she was peaceful and adorable, no longer fierce and confrontational toward him.
