Chapter 239 You Should Knock Me
Chapter 239 You Should Knock Me
The Gu family welcomed the great thing of "double happiness".
However, some people are delighted by this joy, while others are secretly sad.
When Gu Jingcheng heard the news that Gu Zhenzhen was pregnant, he couldn't contain his excitement and drove back home before the meeting was over.
Along the way, he held the steering wheel tightly with his hands. If the steering wheel was not strong, it would have been deformed by him.
"Gu Zhenzhen, are you really pregnant?"
Although he had already received a positive answer from Gu Ranle, Gu Jingcheng still wanted to confirm it from the person involved.
In the living room, Gu Zhenzhen was sitting alone on the sofa in a daze, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Gu Jingcheng's sudden roar frightened her so much that she trembled violently. She quickly stood up from the sofa and stammered, "Big, Big Brother..."
Looking at Gu Jingcheng's face, which was even gloomier than the cloudy sky outside, Gu Zhenzhen's heart was pounding. At this moment, she was really scared.
If her marriage to Shen Wen was still going on, being pregnant wouldn't be a big deal, they could just get married.
But now, she and Shen Wen have broken off their engagement, and this sudden pregnancy has left her at a loss and full of anxiety.
"Gu Jingcheng..."
At this moment, a gentle and familiar voice came from upstairs, like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the haze in Gu Jingcheng's heart.
Gu Jingcheng's body trembled slightly involuntarily. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw his wife Lanxi standing at the stairs looking at him with a gentle smile.
At that moment, the anger that had been pent up in his chest since he learned that Gu Zhenzhen was pregnant was like a balloon that was about to explode, but the moment he saw Lan Xi's smile, it instantly deflated and limply folded.
"Lanxi, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I'll make it for you right away."
Gu Jingcheng seemed to have forgotten Gu Zhenzhen's existence in an instant. He turned around and walked quickly upstairs, taking off his coat as he walked and casually putting it on the railing.
When he reached Lanxi, he gently held her in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
Lanxi's gentleness was like a good medicine that cured Gu Jingcheng's inner restlessness and anxiety, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Gu, you are about to become a mother." Gu Jingcheng looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes, his tone full of happiness and expectation.
As a model, Yunxi is tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall. Even if she just wears a pair of high-heeled shoes, she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Jingcheng.
At this moment, she was wearing a pair of simple flat slippers and standing in front of Gu Jingcheng, only a few centimeters shorter than him.
She gently wrapped her arms around Gu Jingcheng's waist, raised her face, and her lips accidentally touched his chin, and her smile bloomed like a flower.
"Congratulations to Mr. Gu on becoming a father soon."
Gu Zhenzhen was standing aside, watching her elder brother and his wife being so sweet and loving, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't envious at all.
She was even a little jealous, and she longed to find a man who loved her, cherished her, and made her willing to bear children for him. However, fate seemed to always play tricks on her, and she always met those disappointing scumbags!
She cursed in her heart: "All the scumbags in the world should be punished as they deserve!"
Gu Zhenzhen's eyes were moist again. She lowered her head and stared at her abdomen. She gently touched it, but she could not feel any signs of life. At this moment, her heart was a little sour and a little painful.
Near noon, Gu Ranle drove out.
Ever since she came back to treat Li Hongxuan last time, she has been concerned about his recovery.
Today, she decided to go and check in person to make sure he was okay.
Li Shenzhi did not live in the Li family's old house. Now that Li Tingsheng and Yi Xiangyang have passed away, apart from the servants, housekeeper and bodyguards, there are only Li Nanxi and her son in the old house.
When Gu Ranle arrived at the Li family's old house, he reported his name.
When the guard heard this, he let him in without saying a word, and his attitude was respectful and enthusiastic.
As soon as the car drove into the courtyard, Li Hongxuan came out impatiently to greet it.
He had a happy look on his face and walked briskly, as if he had been waiting here for a long time, looking forward to Gu Ranle's arrival.
"Gu Ranle!"
Gu Ranle stepped on the brakes steadily, then leaned out of the car window, looked Li Hongxuan up and down, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You look lively and energetic, you have recovered quite well!"
Upon seeing this, Li Hongxuan immediately made a one-handed fist gesture, bowed respectfully, and said sincerely: "Thanks to Dr. Gu's miraculous healing skills, my life was saved. Thank you for saving my life——"
"Stop it, stop it. Don't use that old trick of promising yourself to me." Gu Ranle interrupted Li Hongxuan and raised her hand to indicate that she was not joking with him. "I am in a good mood today and don't want to hit you, but don't force me to do it."
Li Hongxuan was actually thinking of saying "I will repay you with my life" in his heart, but Gu Ranle interrupted him and he had to swallow it back bitterly.
He knew that he might never have the chance to get the fanatical pursuit and burning gaze she once had in this life, but he still couldn't help wanting to try, even if there was only a slim chance.
He sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you even take a joke?"
"How can you joke with your elders like that?" Gu Ranle rolled her eyes at him, with a hint of reproach in her tone.
At this moment, she saw Li Nanxi approaching slowly, so she turned off the engine, got out of the car and waved enthusiastically, "Long time no see, Sister Nanxi."
Li Hongxuan was stunned watching from the side, feeling mixed emotions.
How much do you dislike me? You have to call my mother "sister" to remind me that you are my elder, my mother's sister-in-law, and someone I can never covet.
Gu Ranle's words "Sister Nanxi" not only brought her and Li Nanxi closer together, but also invisibly drew a clear line between them.
This made him feel lost and helpless.
Li Nanxi gently hugged Gu Ranle, her voice soft and full of emotion, "Long time no see, Lele."
After experiencing the betrayal and death of her husband, the sudden death of her father, and the thrilling death of her son, the once arrogant woman who regarded her career as everything in her life has now become completely different.
She is no longer obsessed with the changes in the workplace. Her biggest wish every day is to cook delicious food and tend to flowers and plants at home.
However, reality is always full of helplessness.
After Li Tingsheng passed away, the power of the company fell into the hands of Li Shenzhi, and Li Nanxi was willing to become his right-hand man.
But who would have thought that Li Shenzhi suddenly fell into a coma, and the company suddenly fell into chaos.
Faced with such a situation, Li Nanxi had to step forward and was forced to take on the burden of the company.
But even so, she has her own principles.
She would never interfere with work that could be done by others; when she could avoid going to the company, she would never step into the company's door.
During the time when Li Hongxuan was poisoned, Li Nanxi, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, went to the temple to pray to Buddha for the first time and even set up a Buddha statue at home.
Every day, she would chant the Buddha's name devoutly, praying to the Buddha to bless her son to overcome the difficulties and stay safe and healthy.
Now, her son has recovered, but she still insists on chanting and worshiping Buddha every day.
However, what she prayed for now was that Li Shenzhi would wake up soon, so that she could unload the burden on her shoulders and return to a peaceful life.
Perhaps the career ambition and ambition of the first half of his life have been exhausted, and now Li Nanxi just wants to simply drink tea, read books and cook.
If possible, she also hopes to play with her grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family.
"My nephew has recovered well." Gu Ranle looked at Li Hongxuan, his eyes full of relief.
Li Nanxi smiled and nodded, her gratitude overflowing with words: "I have to thank you for all this, Lele. I am grateful for your kindness. If you need me, Li Nanxi, in the future, just let me know."
Her tone was firm and sincere.
Gu Ranle joked bluntly: "Of course, with such a great favor, it's not too much for my nephew to kowtow to me!"
Li Nanxi agreed, nodded and smiled, "It's indeed not an exaggeration."
As she said this, she turned her head to look at Li Hongxuan, her eyes seemed to say, "Knock, boy."
Li Hongxuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked away with an arrogant look on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Seeing this, Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows and said to Li Nanxi, "Sister Nanxi, your son is really disobedient! It seems that you need to discipline him more."
Li Nanxi smiled and responded, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of him later! Come on, let's ignore him and go into the house. I made some snacks this morning. You can try them and see how they taste."
"Okay." Gu Ranle agreed happily.
The two of them went into the house chatting and laughing.
After a while, Li Nanxi brought out plates of exquisite snacks from the kitchen and filled the entire table.
The biscuits are golden and crispy, the croissants are cute in shape, the bread slices are soft and delicious, the puffs are round and plump, and the cakes are colorful, making people salivate at the sight.
"Come on, Lele, try these snacks." Li Nanxi enthusiastically brought the snacks to Gu Ranle. "Don't be fooled by their colorful appearance. They definitely don't have any pigments added. These are all the colors I mixed using juices from various fruits and vegetables."
Gu Ranle picked up a purple croissant and took a light bite.
The purple color is made from dragon fruit juice, and it contains sweet mango filling.
Take a bite, it’s crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy, it’s simply delicious.
"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Li Nanxi looked at Gu Ranle expectantly.
Gu Ranle nodded repeatedly, with a satisfied smile on her face, praising it endlessly: "It's so delicious! Who would have thought that the once powerful and cold beauty in the business world would now wear an apron and tinker with these delicious snacks in the kitchen."
Li Nanxi also picked up a croissant and took a bite. "Actually, I had a dream when I was very young, which was to open a pastry shop of my own in the future. Unfortunately, reality is always so cruel, and I have never been able to fulfill my wish. Now I am looking forward to Li Shenzhi waking up soon, so that I can start preparing my pastry shop and realize my childhood dream."
At this point, Li Nanxi changed the subject and asked with concern, "By the way, is his sudden coma a sequelae of his previous illness?"
This question made Gu Ranle fall into a brief contemplation.
She knew in her heart that Li Shenzhi's coma had nothing to do with his previous illness.
But the problem is that she hasn't fully understood the complex relationship between this world and the real world, and she doesn't know why Li Shenzhi woke up in the real world occupying Li Xiuneng's body after falling into a coma.
Therefore, Gu Ranle could only answer vaguely: "Well, there is some relationship."
After saying that, she continued to eat, not wanting to dwell on this issue too much.
The two chatted casually in this way, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Gu Ranle ate so much that she felt so full that she was immersed in the happiness brought by the delicious food that she didn't even need to eat lunch.
After eating and drinking, she left the Li family and went straight to Song Yu's clinic.
As soon as I stopped the car, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the clinic, making a lot of noise.
Gu Ranle couldn't help but frown. What happened?
Before she could step forward, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang again.
