Chapter 24 The Husband

  The next morning, several people in the dorm insisted on sending Gu Xiyan downstairs. Unable to decline her roommates' kindness, Gu Xiyan nodded in agreement.

  The weather has warmed up in the past two days, but it's still quite chilly in the mornings.

  It was only six o'clock, and the road wasn't very bright. Li Le Ting and Zhao Chun each helped Gu Xiyan carry a luggage bag, while Gu Xiyan herself had nothing in her hands.

  Last night, she had already greeted her mother-in-law and Gu Xiyan also knew that someone would come to pick her up this morning. But what Gu Xiyan didn't expect was that the person coming to pick her up would be...

  "Qi, how is it you?" A tall and resolute figure gradually approached the direction of Gu Xiuyan and her group. At first, Gu Xiuyan couldn't see the person's face clearly and thought she was hallucinating. But in just a moment, a thick layer of shock appeared on her face - that appearance, that face, wasn't it Shang Yiqi?

  "Alright, I'll pick you up." Shang Xi wrapped one arm around Gu Xiyuan's slender waist.

  "He's so handsome, but it seems like I've seen him somewhere before." Gu Xiyan said thoughtfully from behind Zhao Chun.

  "Hey, handsome guy, what's your relationship with Xiyan?" Zheng Ying Shi couldn't control her curiosity and asked with a smile on her face.

  Shang Yi nodded slightly towards the person standing behind Gu Xiyan and replied calmly, "Hello, I'm Shang."

  Gu Xiyan saw that he didn't want to say more, so she turned around and explained to the crowd of roommates: "This is... my husband, Shang Yiqi."

  Husband? Shang Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

  "Ah, heavens, Xiǎo Yán, are you telling the truth?" Zheng Ying Shi stared at the handsome young man and beautiful woman in front of her, her nerves in disarray, as she jumped up and down on the ground.

  Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile: "It's true. It's getting late, you guys hurry up and have breakfast, training is about to start soon."

  Gu Xiyan reminded her, Zheng Ying Shi finally stopped her convulsions. As she was half-dragged by Lai Le Ting and others towards the cafeteria, Zheng Ying Shi still shouted: "Xiyan, be happy!"

  Gu Xiyan leaned into Shang Yi's arms, until the seven of them turned a corner and could no longer see her outline. Only then did she slightly move away from Shang Yi: "Yi, let's go."

  "Good." Shang Yi took the initiative to pick up his luggage.

  On the other hand, just as they arrived at the cafeteria door, Zhao Chun suddenly clapped his hands loudly: "I said why it was so familiar, I saw Xiyan's husband, Shang Keqi, in the newspaper. He is a legendary figure in Beijing's legal circle. My god, too powerful!"

  The rest of the people stopped in their tracks. Feng Biwei thought for a moment and also reacted: "Really, I've seen him participate in court trials on TV, he's super eloquent, and every time he goes to court, that momentum is really unstoppable!"

  "So, such a ruthless character was preempted by Xiǎo Yuān." Zheng Yīng Shī concluded with a wave of her hand.

  "Alright, who wants to be penalized by Lao Deng?" Li Le-ting glanced at her watch and couldn't help but feel anxious and amused at the same time. It was already 6:26, and these guys really had no sense of crisis.

  "My goodness, it's so late, let's hurry up." Feng Biwei also realized the problem.

  "Hurry up and eat while walking." Zhao Chun said as he rushed towards the cafeteria.

  "Wait for me, Zhao Chun is dead." Feng Biwei closely followed.

  The remaining five people also rushed to the cafeteria together, and their laughter and chatter scattered in the wind. This laughter also contained He Zhuo's joy, who was not fond of laughing on ordinary days.

  The silver-white lines drove smoothly on the road in the early morning, and inside the car, Gu Xiyan felt drowsy and leaned against the back of the seat to fall asleep.

  Shang Yi drove his car skillfully and soon stopped in front of a villa in the large courtyard.

  He directly carried Gu Xiyan to the second floor's resting bedroom, and Shang Yueqi considerately covered her with a quilt. The bedroom was warm and cozy, and Gu Xiyan slept extremely comfortably. Last night in the dormitory, a group of people rarely continued chatting after lights out, all the way until nearly one o'clock in the morning, if not for this, Gu Xiyan wouldn't have overslept so much.

  At noon, Gu Xiyan was woken up by Xiao Yatou. Xiao Yatou kept rubbing against her chest, thoroughly enjoying the taste of being close to her.

  Gu Xiyan was woken up with a gentle smile, and lightly pinched the small nose of her daughter. She said: "Yan'er, do you miss Mommy?"

  Yan'er doesn't want mommy. The little girl saw her wake up and suddenly slipped down from the bed, a pair of lovely big eyes filled with stubbornness.

  "Is mommy angry with you?" Gu Xiyan put on the clothes from the head of the bed. She got up, and with one arm, she hugged the little girl.

  It's been more than three weeks since we last met, and Little Swallow seems to have gained a bit of weight!

  "No, Yan'er is not angry." The little girl muttered: "Mommy is so bad, Mommy always disappears."

  "She said she wasn't angry." He gave Xiaoyu a peck on the cheek and carried her downstairs.

  Today Ji Shufen made a lot of dishes, four people at one table, and also with little Ya Tou this happy fruit, the atmosphere on the table was very good.

  "Xiaoyan, have you and Xiaokai discussed that matter I mentioned last time?" Ji Shufen asked.

  "Mom, not yet." Gu Xiyuan felt a little guilty. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to still remember this matter, and she was somewhat uneasy in her heart.

  "That's just right, taking advantage of Xiao Qi also being here, I can ask him about his intentions. Xiao Qi, when do you plan..." Ji Shufen's words were cut off by Xiaoyao before she could finish speaking.

  "Grandma, Yan'er wants meatballs, the kind in front of grandma." The little girl said with a spoon in her mouth.

  "Alright, give some to Yan'er." Ji Shufen scooped a few fish balls into Xiao Yatou's bowl.

  Gu Xiyan saw Ji Shufen hadn't reached the crucial point yet, and her heart was already in her throat.

  "Mom, I'm full, I'll go take a look at the materials first." Xiang Qi put down his rice bowl and headed towards the living room.

  Gu Xiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Ji Shufen scolded: "This child, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

  Although Ji Shufen's words revealed dissatisfaction, Gu Xiyan still did not neglect the deep and proud smile on her face. After all, it was her own child, how could she be really angry?

  Under Gu Xiyan's intentional or unintentional interference, Ji Shufen still couldn't ask that question. After chatting with Ji Shufen for a while after dinner, Shang Yueqi drove away with Gu Xiyan and Xiao Yatou.

  The car first drove to the noble primary school where Xiaoyazi was located. Before entering the school gate, Xiaoyazi finally wanted to give Gu Xiyuan a kiss goodbye.

  Gu Xiyan smiled brightly and agreed to the little guy's request.
