Seeing that the young girl no longer refused, Gu Beichuan nodded with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, Gu Beichuan hesitated for a moment before answering and putting it on speaker.
“Something?”
Hearing Gu Beichuan’s impatient tone, Shen Chengxuan was momentarily stunned, then immediately broke into a mischievous grin.
“Being that fierce might not scare me, but scaring the young lady would be a problem!”
After saying that, he quickly added a reminder, “Remember to take precautions when you do the deed. Don’t end up like that one guy, getting forced into marriage with a bun in the oven.”
Gu Beichuan, an old bachelor with no experience, could use some pointers from him as a brother—lest he stir up trouble.
At those words, Gu Beichuan’s expression darkened instantly, and he hung up the phone without another word.
But Su Yanyan, upon hearing the last sentence from that person, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing her approach had been right. If she had told Uncle that she was carrying his baby…
Then right now, would Uncle also see her as someone trying to threaten him with a child?
Uncle had been so good to her, so gentle. Thinking that Uncle might see her that way made Su Yanyan’s heart ache.
Noticing the girl’s change in mood, Gu Beichuan assumed Shen Chengxuan’s words had frightened her—that she thought he might do something to her.
So he said in a low voice, “He never thinks before he speaks.”
Su Yanyan hummed in acknowledgment but said nothing.
Perhaps the young girl was too tired, because she fell asleep again before long.
Gu Beichuan glanced at the girl sleeping like a little piglet, then carefully rested her head on his lap.
At that moment, holding the young girl in the back seat, Gu Beichuan felt as though his whole body was at ease.
However, Lin Xuan in the passenger seat and the driver in the driver’s seat were anything but relaxed.
They had heard far too many things they shouldn’t have.
…
The next day, Su Yanyan was again woken up by the sound of a phone ringing.
Only this time, it was Wu Jiaxin calling.
“Yanyan, are you okay? Your uncle didn’t discipline you yesterday, did he?”
After going back, Wu Jiaxin and the others had actually been quite worried, but they were afraid that calling then would only get Su Yanyan scolded even harder, so they held back for the whole night. Now, first thing in the morning, they hurriedly called Su Yanyan.
Li Mengchen and Zhou Yun listened from the side.
Wu Jiaxin’s words instantly made Su Yanyan a bit embarrassed. She rubbed her nose awkwardly. “No, my uncle… he’s a nice person. Don’t worry, everything’s fine.”
Hearing Su Yanyan say she was fine, the girls immediately relaxed.
“Alright then, we’ll talk when you get back to school.” Wu Jiaxin said, then quickly hung up, as if afraid of being caught by Su Yanyan’s uncle.
After all, Su Yanyan’s uncle looked very handsome, but he was also a bit too stern.
A parent like that must be extremely strict and rigid—and also, autocratic and dictatorial.
In short, he was a parent who wasn’t easy to get along with.
After hanging up, Su Yanyan was about to get up, but as soon as she threw off the covers, she realized she wasn’t wearing her own clothes—she was in pajamas.
The day before yesterday, a young woman had changed her clothes. So who had done it last night?
There were only two people in this room—her and Gu Beichuan. Su Yanyan immediately thought of something, and her face flushed bright red in an instant.
Although she and Uncle had already been intimate with each other… that situation and this situation were completely different.
In the end, Su Yanyan consoled herself.
When she reached the door, Su Yanyan instinctively lowered her head and touched her belly, thinking about how in just a few days the baby would be leaving.
Su Yanyan couldn’t help but her eyes redden. She quickly rubbed her eyes to steady her emotions before opening the door and walking out.
Gu Beichuan was already fully dressed, sitting on the sofa talking to someone on the phone.
Su Yanyan didn’t dare to disturb him. She hurriedly went to wash up and change her clothes. By the time she came out again, the man had already hung up the phone.
Gu Beichuan stood up and walked toward Su Yanyan. After a moment of hesitation, he gently took the young girl’s wrist. “Let’s go, we’ll eat out today.”
The man’s palm was very warm. Su Yanyan surprisingly didn’t resist, letting him hold her hand obediently like that.
It wasn’t until they stepped into the elevator that Su Yanyan, for some inexplicable reason, suddenly blurted out without thinking.
“Today… we don’t have to drink porridge, right?”
Gu Beichuan covered his mouth and coughed. “No, we don’t.”
The two went to a nearby mall, where there was everything one could need, from food to various goods.
After a simple meal, Gu Beichuan took Su Yanyan to the third floor, planning to buy a few changes of clothes.
She had been too focused on eating just now and hadn’t drunk any water. Now she suddenly felt a bit thirsty.
Seeing the milk tea shop not far across from her, she quickly stopped. “Uncle, wait for me a moment.”
With that, Su Yanyan was about to step forward.
Gu Beichuan immediately understood that the girl was thirsty. He reached out and gently held the girl’s slender arm.
“I’ll go buy it. You wait here, don’t run off.”
With that, before Su Yanyan could react, Gu Beichuan strode away.
The man’s legs were so long—just a few steps and he was already almost at the milk tea shop’s entrance.
Su Yanyan snapped back to attention and let out an “ah,” about to chase after him, when suddenly a voice came from behind.
“Junior schoolmate, what a coincidence!”
She turned around and saw a boy in a white shirt holding a bottle of mineral water standing about two meters away, walking toward her step by step.
Su Yanyan felt he looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him before. Following the principle of treating anyone she wasn’t familiar with as a stranger, Su Yanyan hurriedly tried to leave.
But the boy reached her first, blocking her path.
Su Yanyan couldn’t help but take a step back, her face full of wariness. “I don’t know you. Please move aside.”
