“So, does our family want me to be paired with this Ms. Nangong?” As soon as Gu Beihan heard Butler Gu’s words, he understood their intentions.
“It seems that way, young master. Do you already have someone you fancy? If so, you should make it clear to your parents, otherwise, once you meet Ms. Nangong, you won’t be able to change your mind. She’s not just any ordinary young woman.” Mr. Gu knew that the Nangong family didn’t have any daughters until now.
The sudden appearance of a Ms. Nangong, who was the precious treasure of the Nangongs, had stirred up the entire Imperial Capital. Everyone wanted to see what kind of extraordinary person she was that could be hidden by the Nangong family for twenty years before returning to the country, and immediately causing a sensation in the entire Imperial Capital.
“No, Mr. Gu, you got it all wrong. I’m just curious.” Gu Beihan didn’t have any girl he liked; those women were just playing games and not suitable to be his wife.
“That’s good then. You know your parents’ temper well; creating any unpleasantness wouldn’t be good for anyone,” Butler Gu kindly reminded him.
“I understand, thank you, Uncle Gu,” Gu Beihan thanked him for the reminder, as he had always respected Uncle Gu since he had taken care of Beihan in the past.
“You’re too polite, young master,” Uncle Gu smiled at him.
Gu Beilin sat in the back seat, pouting. It was just a butler, why bother being so polite to a servant?
Gu Beihan noticed Gu Beilin’s expression and movements. He cast her a cold glance, thinking that his sister was becoming more and more unreasonable as she grew up.
Regardless, maintaining basic decency towards others was the least one could do.
Though Uncle Gu and the others were servants, the success of certain matters often depended on them. Wasn’t there a saying: a thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by ants? It showed that failure often resulted from an insignificant person or event that ruined everything.
For the time being, their conversation paused, the three of them sat in silence on their way back to the Gu’s residence.
Qin Xue looked at the restroom door and Chu Molin hadn’t come out for a while. She started to worry that he was experiencing discomfort.
Sitting there was so boring, and Qin Xue wished she could take out a book from her storage ring to read, but she knew she had to endure.
She decided to think about her future path instead. Once the baby was born, she would have to take care of it and wouldn’t have the chance to do business or other things. How could she achieve her goals then?
She could arrange something for Xiao Yu, but what about herself?
If she also went to night school, who would take care of the children? But if she didn’t go, she wouldn’t be able to get a college degree, and without it, people wouldn’t trust her abilities as a doctor or a military doctor.
She felt trapped between a rock and a hard place, and it wasn’t clear whether she had chosen the wrong time to come to this world or if it was the wrong time for the children to be born. In any case, Qin Xue was finding it very difficult right now.
It had been a while before Chu Molin washed his face and came out of the restroom. He saw that Qin Xue was musing to herself and murmuring something to herself.
He found himself thinking that this wife of his was too troublesome. One day, he might just lose to her shenanigans.
Since Qin Xue seemed engrossed in her thoughts, Chu Molin didn’t disturb her and left the ward.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Molin stopped at the corner and looked at Ding Xi, asking him.
“Deputy Chief, there’s been an incident at Mr. Su’s place,” Ding Xi glanced at his superior as he spoke.
“Oh.” Chu Molin simply responded with a nonchalant tone.
