Shang Manyue's eyes moved slightly.

It's Gu Xianzhi...

At this time, the phone dinged, and she walked over to pick it up and check it.

He sent a message: [If you haven't slept, I have something to tell you. 】

Shang Manyue walked to the bed, bent down and kissed her son's little face, then tucked the quilt away, tightened her coat, and walked out.

She opened the door of Cheng's house and let him in. She said softly: "How long have you been standing here? Why didn't you say anything?"

If she hadn't gone to the window to take a look because she couldn't sleep, wouldn't he have been standing in the cold wind?

Gu Xianzhi smiled softly, "I'm afraid you're asleep, so I don't want to wake you up. You've been so tired recently, and I want you to have a good rest."

In order to find little Yunchen, she didn't sleep for several days, and then she was taken away by Huo Jingbo for nearly a day and a night. No matter how anxious he was, no matter how much he wanted to say, he couldn't bear to disturb her.

After entering the house, Shang Manyue turned on the light in the living room and let him sit wherever he wanted, while she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"Drink some water to warm it up."

Gu Xianzhi smiled and took the water glass to drink. He accidentally pulled the wound on the corner of his lip and groaned.

When he was outside, the light was dim, and Shang Manyue didn't notice the injuries on his face. Now that the lights were bright, his gentle and handsome face was covered with scars.

There were bruises on his forehead, cheeks, and corners of his lips.

The right eye is still a little dark.

This was the first time that Shang Manyue saw Dr. Gu, who was as gentle as jade and a jade-faced scholar, appearing in such a way that was inconsistent with his image.

It hurts just to look at it.

Her eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

Gu Xianzhi seemed to notice her worry and put down the cup. Yun Danfeng smiled softly, "Don't worry, it looks serious, but it's actually just a little flesh wound."

"And don't think that I'm that fragile. This injury is nothing."

He also had another side, but he never showed it in front of her.

"Let me give you some medicine."

Shang Manyue turned around and went to the TV cabinet to find the medicine box. When she returned, she sat next to him, opened the medicine box and found iodophor and potion.

Holding the cotton swab with her slender fingers, she moved her face slightly closer to him and carefully applied the medicine to him.

To make it easier for her, Gu Xianzhi lowered his head.

For a moment, the distance between the two people narrowed, and he could smell the faint fragrance in her hair, and the light in his eyes surged slightly.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's face so close to him. Her skin was fair and delicate, and could be broken by a blow. It was impossible to tell that she had given birth to a child. Time seemed to be treating her particularly favorably, although the youthfulness of the girl had faded compared to three years ago. Astringent, but it adds the charm of a mature woman.

Enough to... make people unable to look away.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dark red streak of purple and dark red on the back of her neck that was half hidden under her hair.

Of course he knows what it is...

Gu Xianzhi's hands suddenly clenched tightly. Due to the exertion, the muscles in his arms tightened and the veins bulged slightly.

Shang Manyue concentrated on applying the medicine and did not notice his emotions. She thought her hand was too heavy and hurt him, so she hurriedly said: "Sorry, I'll be gentler."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's hand suddenly held hers. The warm and dry touch made Shang Manyue startled and subconsciously struggled.

Gu Xianzhi held it tighter and did not let go.

Shang Manyue raised her eyes in shock and fell into his deep gaze.

"Man Yue, I like you."

His voice is like spring water in the mountains, gently caressing people's hearts.

Shang Manyue's long, curly eyelashes trembled and she remained silent for a moment. She didn't know whether she was shocked by his sudden confession or because she didn't know how to respond.

Gu Xianzhi always knew how to proceed and retreat, but at this moment, he had a strong intention to attack and did not want to retreat even one step.

His Adam's apple rolled, he looked into her eyes and said again: "I like you, you know that, right?"

Shang Manyue lowered his eyes slightly.

She thought helplessly that even if she didn't know before, she once misunderstood that his sweetheart was Jiang Xinrou, but after getting along with her for several years, she was not stupid and had no emotional cognitive impairment, so how could she not feel anything at all.

It's just that he has a good handle on his temperament and has always gotten along with her as a friend, never breaking the window.

So sometimes she felt like she was thinking too much.

After all, she is not narcissistic enough to think that all men in the world like her...

After a while, Shang Manyue nodded lightly, "I probably know."

Gu Xianzhi's lips curved with joy, "Then... what do you think?"

Shang Manyue was silent again.

She slowly pulled her hand out of his, pursed her lips lightly, and then thought about her words, "Dr. Gu, I treat you...I..."

How could a person with a clear mind like Gu Xianzhi not understand the meaning of her hesitation?

He didn't want to hear it.

So he suddenly said, "Man Yue, when little Yunchen was young, you put all your thoughts on him, but now he is growing up, you should also think about your own problems."

"And little Yunchen also needs a father to accompany him as he grows up."

"I know you don't have that intention for me yet, but you don't reject me, right? Little Yunchen also likes me very much."

"I hope you can give me a chance so that I can take care of you, take care of little Yunchen, and protect you mother and son for the rest of their lives."

He was so sincere, without any aggression, he just expressed his emotions to her seriously. Shang Manyue's words were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak out.

Gu Xianzhi also knew that some words had to be stopped immediately.

"Man Yue, you don't have to answer me now. You can think about it carefully and I'll wait for you."

After that, he stood up and left, leaving her some space.

Shang Manyue sent him to the door, told him to drive carefully, and watched the car leave before turning back to the house.

Unexpectedly, she saw Cheng Rang standing at the railing on the second floor, looking at her.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she felt a sense of shame and embarrassment caused by her parents.

Cheng Rang went downstairs, crossed his arms across his chest, and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

Shang Manyue couldn't sleep in the first place, and it was even more impossible to sleep now. She nodded happily.

Cheng Rang took out his collection of red wine from the wine cabinet, opened the lid, and poured two glasses.

The two of them sat on the sofa like they did when they were children, raising glasses and clinking glasses. Cheng Rang only took a sip, but Shang Manyue raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

She was so drunk that she choked and coughed.

Cheng Rang took out a tissue and handed it to her, scolding her angrily, "No one is fighting with you, why are you so anxious?"

Shang Manyue wiped the corners of her lips, glanced sideways at him, crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it in his face, "You brat, how dare you teach your sister a lesson now."

She raised her hand to tug on his ear, but ended up stroking his head. "Before you know it, you have grown up and can drink with me."

In the past we could only drink Coke together.

Speaking of which, Arang was brought up by her, and her feelings for Arang were not much different from those of little Yunchen.

Cheng Rang escaped from her clutches and suddenly became serious.

"Sister, what exactly do you think? Do you really not like Doctor Gu at all?"

Shang Manyue's hand gently touched the wine glass, and then shook her head. In front of Arang, she could express her true thoughts without worrying so much.

For Gu Xianzhi, it's not a question of whether she likes or dislikes her, but she hasn't considered emotional issues in these years. Perhaps she is still emotionally wounded and subconsciously doesn't want to face this kind of thing again.

But Xiao Yunchen's words woke her up. She alone could not give her child a complete home and love. The child needed a father...

Therefore, she had to start to face this problem.

Cheng Rang: "In this case, then Brother Xianzhi is the most suitable person for you. You might as well give him a chance."

Shang Manyue poured herself another glass of wine and drank silently, still without saying a word.

As if still hesitating.

Seeing this, Cheng Rang narrowed his black eyes and said, "Sister, there is something I have never told you. Now I think it's time to let you know."

...

The next day.

It was almost dawn when the full moon of Shang Dynasty fell asleep, and it was already noon when I woke up.

As she went downstairs, she heard the sounds of play in the living room.

As I got closer, I saw Jiang Yuan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, playing with little Yunchen and telling him, "I am your godmother, please call me godmother."

Xiao Yunchen had a cool face and refused to shout.

Jiang Yuan pretended to cry.

Xiao Yunchen was most afraid of women crying. No matter whether they were grown-up women or little girls, they could do nothing if they cried.

He could only softly call Godmother.

Jiang Yuan instantly turned into a smiling face.

He realized that he had been deceived and turned his back to her angrily.

Shang Manyue looked on and laughed.

When Jiang Yuan raised his head and saw her, his eyes turned red at first, and then he became angry and turned his head to ignore her.

He didn't contact her or tell her anything that happened, and he didn't treat her as his best friend at all.

Shang Manyue knew that she was in the wrong, but she was helpless. The fewer people who knew about Xiao Yunchen's matter, the better, and she didn't want her own matter to implicate her.

She walked over directly and hugged Jiang Yuan.

She struggled and refused to let go, so she hugged him tightly.

Soon Jiang Yuan had no choice but to cry and curse, "Dog skin plaster."

She pretended to be arrogant, "I forgive you because my godson is so handsome! Don't be so proud!"

Shang Manyue nodded, "Copy that~"

Jiang Yuan knew her taste well and brought a lot of delicious food. Shang Manyue was very considerate. After eating them all, her belly was full.

She had to go to work in the afternoon, so she hugged Xiao Yunchen reluctantly for a long time before leaving, saying she would make a dinner date after the weekend.

Jiang Yuan drove to Huo Group.

She did not go back to her public relations department, but took the elevator directly to the top floor and walked to the president's office in high heels.

Nearing the door, You Jing came over and said, "Manager Jiang, Mr. Huo is in a meeting and won't see any guests for the time being."

Jiang Yuan glanced at her with her charming eyes.

The previously rustic woman put on an expensive professional suit, and she seemed to be somewhat presentable.

She didn't bother, and took out a small bag from her bag and handed it to her, "Here are the hair of the child that Brother Jing Bo wants. Please help me give it to him."
