The weather was getting colder. Gu Qingwu woke up early, washed up in the bathroom, and came out wearing a thick and soft sweater. Just then, He Sui Chen was leaning lazily against the head of the bed answering the phone. His belt was tied carelessly, and the black silk made the muscular lines of his chest look cold and pale.
Gu Qingwu did not disturb him. She overheard He Yunjian's voice coming out intermittently on the phone, which seemed to say that He Suichen was disrespectful and allowed Yu Siqing to care about Gu Qingwu's pregnancy like a nanny.
After hanging up, He Suichen still looked like he hadn't woken up yet, with a tired look between his brows and eyes, and naturally spoke very little: "Lie down for a while?"
Gu Qingwu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. She stretched out her fingertips and gently pressed his temple. She said with her red lips, "Your elder brother is really hard to guess what he is thinking. He let Yu Siqing live in the He family without any status and usually doesn't seem to respect her much. As a result, Yu Siqing came to the old house several times. This early in the morning, at just after five o'clock, he couldn't help but call you to complain."
Hearing her soft complaints, He Suichen smiled. He changed his posture and rested his head on her legs. His handsome face was very close to her slightly pregnant belly. He kissed her through her sweater, and it was unknown whether he was whispering something to the child.
Gu Qingwu didn't listen carefully. She ran her fingers through the man's short black hair. The touch was good and her mood improved. "Brother, the old Chinese doctor said yesterday that my pregnancy is stable... It's so boring to be locked up in the old house. Can we go out and move around?"
He Sui Chen didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard the negotiating tone: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't get tired of being with me every day? It's only been a short time, and you can't contain the little monster in your heart?"
Seeing him deliberately laughing at her, Gu Qingwu stared at him with her beautiful dark eyes and said, "The movie "Dress Up" is about to be released. If I, as the heroine, don't show my face, it will be difficult to explain to the director. What if he doesn't want to cooperate with me in the future?"
"Brother, throw money at him until he agrees to cooperate with you."
"… "
"He Sui Chen! I'll just show up... While the month is still young, once I'm pregnant, I'll stay home and give birth to your baby."
"Four months is not too young."
Gu Qingwu was speechless for two seconds, then lowered her head to bite his ear. A few strands of hair fell down smoothly, hiding her angry expression. Just by listening to her unstable breathing, one could tell how furious she was.
After He Sui Chen let her bite enough, he stood up lazily and held her in his arms: "Three rules, you have to listen to me when you go out for a walk, and you are not allowed to take advantage of your favor and get mad at a pregnant woman."
When Gu Qingwu saw him let go, her dark eyes instantly smiled into crescents: "Hmmmm--"
The promotional event for the movie "The Dress Up" was held on the weekend. Compared to the actresses in the same crew who were wearing high-end gowns, Gu Qingwu's outfit seemed a little casual. She chose a long skirt with floral embroidery wrapped around her waist and along the hem, cleverly covering her pregnant belly. She had almost no makeup on, only a layer of light lip gloss to brighten her complexion.
No one around her knew that she was four months pregnant, and all attention was on He Sui Chen who accompanied her to the event.
He Sui Chen stayed with Gu Qingwu the whole time. He was not eye-catching and was casually dressed in a light grey suit without even wearing cufflinks, but just with that face, he outshined the new generation male lead of "The Dress Up".
Fortunately, he did not appear in the photographer's lens, but only served as an assistant, handing Gu Qingwu a thermos cup and a blanket in private.
Some fans noticed it and secretly took a few photos. They were so excited that they almost screamed: "Help! That man who is more handsome than the male celebrity... Is he Gu Qingwu's secret boyfriend?"
Another said: "It seems so. I heard that he is from the top wealthy circle. It's worth it for Gu Qingwu to date such a god-like man in this life, right?"
"My Wuwu is also very good, okay? She grew up with Shen Xingdu and Jiang Dianying, and they both came from good families."
"She has had so many great resources since her debut, but her rivals have deliberately slandered her as a professional accompanyer of old men and a cash cow that capitalists have spent money to raise, but they have never clarified it... I guess Gu Qingwu doesn't care about what the outside world thinks of her at all."
"It's over... All my sisters, including my mother, are curious about the love between Gu Qingwu and her divine man."
I don't know which fan in the audience sighed heavily and said, "This generation of entertainment reporters are not good enough. Female celebrities are parading around with men, but they can't even find out their backgrounds. Do they still want traffic? They are affecting the reputation of the entertainment circle!"
Several media reporters who were watching the scene: “…” Some were implied.
At this moment on the stage, the host prepared writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. When it came to the activity session, he suggested that the leading actors write a few classic lines from the play on rice paper and give them to the lucky fans on the scene.
People who have only practiced calligraphy for a few years are embarrassed to show it off.
Sitting in front of the desk, Gu Qingwu was not at all flustered. She leaned forward slightly, holding the pen with her white fingers, and wrote on the rice paper with one stroke. The ink spread out, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, like a spring breeze blowing across a field of flowers.
Her handwriting is so beautiful that even the director who loves calligraphy couldn't help but look at her sideways.
Gu Qingwu had never marketed herself as a talented woman. Even her fans who had been following her for many years didn't know that she had good handwriting. After picking up the pen, she smiled slightly with curved lips, and inadvertently cast her eyes to the audience.
It was the place where He Sui Chen was, as if begging for his praise.
No matter how much praise others give you, it is not as good as the appreciation in a man's eyes.
The interaction between the two on and off the stage was secretly recorded by attentive reporters.
The promotional activities for "The Costume" ended that day. Gu Qingwu declined the director's invitation to dinner and left first with He Sui Chen.
She was sitting in the passenger seat, wrapped in a thin cotton blanket. The heater was on high so she wouldn't feel cold. She slid her fingertips across the screen and saw that a fan had posted her calligraphy online.
This made Gu Qingwu sigh with emotion for the past. He blinked and looked at He Suichen, and said deliberately: "Alas, thanks to the fact that I practiced calligraphy for two years in Nanming Temple in order to pursue a man, it finally came in handy today."
He Suichen drove very steadily, not in a hurry, and would actively avoid other cars. When his slender fingers gripped the steering wheel and turned it slightly, he glanced over for a second and said in a low and light tone: "You have been practicing calligraphy secretly in the past few years, right?"
Gu Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then turned his face and said, "No."
Her handwriting used to be crooked like an earthworm, and she couldn't concentrate. Later, she found that practicing calligraphy could control her impetuous temper. This habit is not easy to change. Even though she deliberately forgot He Sui Chen deep in her heart, Gu Qingwu still practiced the calligraphy he taught her day after day.
It is impossible to admit it verbally. Who doesn't want to save face
Just looking at the smug look between He Sui Chen's handsome eyebrows, Gu Qingwu wanted to grit her teeth. She hummed softly and continued to play with her phone.
Next to him, the man reminded in a slow and pleasant voice: "You only have one hour left to play with your phone today."
Gu Qingwu pretended not to hear and continued to scroll through Weibo. She was used to seeing topics about herself and He Sui Chen, and when she was about to scroll past them, she found that an unknown entertainment reporter had exposed a Weibo account that was suspected to be He Sui Chen's.
He usually only reads financial news and never reads entertainment gossip, but he also has a Weibo account
Gu Qingwu had some doubts in her heart. She subconsciously glanced at the man who was driving quietly, then returned to the screen and clicked on that topic.
This Weibo account suspected to be that of He Sui Chen was discovered by entertainment reporters accidentally, because his identity was verified as one of the shareholders of the He Group. He did not follow his own brand, and the only female star on his follow list was Gu Qingwu.
This is tantamount to self-exposure, and he posts very little on Weibo, mostly topics about wedding dress design.
The entertainment reporters couldn't dig out anything else, so they could only work hard to focus on Gu Qingwu.
After the Weibo account was exposed, some netizens dug out who the shareholders of the He Group were, both married and unmarried, and looked through them all in detail.
In the end, everyone thought that He Suichen, the former person in charge who was a shareholder and never showed his face, was most likely Gu Qingwu's boyfriend...
Soon everyone discovered that after He Sui Chen abdicated, he devoted himself to charity projects.
He even made charitable donations for nearly ten consecutive years, and every year when he was invited to attend the awards ceremony, the seat was always empty.
After shedding his identity as the head of the He family, He Sui Chen became a low-key and mysterious philanthropist in the circle.
Under the topic of this Weibo post, fans collectively broke down:
- "I'll say it a thousand times, what kind of godly man is this... Woohoo, I'm going to look for a man according to this standard in the future."
- "He doesn't seek fame or fortune. After retiring, he has been focusing on charity. Because he is dating a female celebrity, these entertainment reporters have no moral integrity. They just dug up his entire family history."
- "Going back upstairs, what kind of beautiful love is this combination of a popular female celebrity and a philanthropist??? I have the material for my dreams tonight!"
- "I was really disappointed... I thought Gu Qingwu had found a rich family, but I didn't expect it to be such a rich family!"
- "This is clearly the immortal brother stepping down from the altar for love."
- "Everyone, don't rush to ship the couple. Could it be that Gu Qingwu is unilaterally hyping it up? Someone's movie is released, and the marketing routines are coming out one after another. Maybe it was a philanthropist who accidentally clicked on it."
…
When this new comment came out, many fans also agreed: "How many times has Gu Qingwu's love affair been on the hot search? Last time, it was rumored that her boyfriend was an investor in "Snowy Night", and this time it was a retired boss of the He Group. Hahahaha, there are so many identities... But none of them are confirmed. Could it be that this is a fake wealthy family?"
"Other wealthy bosses are busy with all kinds of things, but Gu Qingwu's family can accompany her to film and attend business events like a male bodyguard. Is the boss just idle and has nothing to do, so he found himself a part-time job?"
"I seriously suspect that the former head of the He Group and Gu Qingwu's boyfriend are just different people with the same name. Someone is really good at flattering himself."
"Unknown entertainment reporter, were you bribed by Gu Qingwu and leaked the news on purpose?"
…
While the fans were arguing and speculating about conspiracy theories, Gu Qingwu read the topic on Weibo, turned around, and looked at He Suichen seriously with his dark eyes: "Brother, let me ask you something."
He Suichen didn't know his Weibo account had been exposed yet, so he said, "You can only play with your phone for ten more minutes."
Gu Qingwu originally wanted to ask him whether this Weibo account was his, and whether someone else had claimed it. However, seeing that He Sui Chen was so unkind, she simply didn't bother to ask and continued to focus on browsing the trending searches.
After a while, the red lips said slowly: "Some men say one thing in public and another behind my back. They even have the nerve to laugh at me for practicing calligraphy in secret, but they secretly pay attention to me."
"… "
"Weibo registration time, isn't this the year I debuted?"
There was an instant silence in the car. Gu Qingwu deliberately finished his words and turned to look at He Suichen's handsome face, intending not to see the slightest change in his expression. It was obvious that there was a hint of embarrassment between his brows, but he quickly concealed it perfectly.
After a while, he parked the car in front of the old house, put on the seat belt, and pretended to her: "I didn't understand what you said just now."
Gu Qingwu just looked at him like this until He Suichen came over to kiss her. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents with a smile: "Didn't you not understand... Then why are you kissing me?"
Her white and tender fingertips covered the man's lips, but he took them away and lowered his head to get two inches closer, just to kiss her.
The two of them were quietly and tenderly in the car for a while. Even as Gu Qingwu began to become confused, she still remembered thinking, very good, she has been secretly practicing calligraphy for many years, and he has been secretly paying attention to her for many years. Today, she participated in a promotional event, and everything was completely exposed because of a hot search.

At 9:10 in the evening, the topic was still hanging on Weibo. This time, Gu Qingwu did not remain silent, and personally announced the relationship. She picked out a photo from the album of He Suichen in the study of the He family's old house, repairing the family tree.
This is the one that Gu Qingwu keeps privately, and it’s the one he’s most satisfied with.
In the photo, the background is a snowy day and a study. Under the refraction of the misty sunlight, He Suichen, dressed in a white shirt and long pants, stands quietly in front of a mahogany desk, with his head slightly lowered. His handsome face has a cool and delicate outline. He wears thin golden glasses, and the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned.
A person like him who is as clean as a bee will not be stained by a speck of dust no matter where he is, and he exudes an ascetic beauty from the inside out.
Gu Qingwu reluctantly shared this photo of her beloved, and added the caption when making the official announcement: "Yes, I married him."
When other female celebrities officially announce their relationships, they at most admit that they are dating the other person. Please give them some private space.
Gu Qingwu usually doesn't say a word, but she just announced her marriage. This momentarily paralyzed Weibo for an hour. When it was restored, fans found that ten entertainment reporters had agreed to send their blessings, and they didn't seem to be surprised by the news.
The rest who didn't get the inside information could only frantically forward Gu Qingwu's Weibo to catch the attention.
Three hours later.
He Suichen also came to claim his exposed Weibo account, and personally reposted Gu Qingwu's official Weibo, announcing the fact that he was married: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, Gu Qingwu."
From the time they met again after a long separation until now, He Sui Chen had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally he got a formal status.
Gu Qingwu no longer had the chance to witness the entire process of what would happen online. The reason was simple: as a pregnant woman, she had already exceeded the time limit for playing with her mobile phone tonight.
After taking a shower, she was used to lying on the bed, too lazy to even move her hands and feet.
He Sui Chen put the boiled tea aside and sat down on the edge of the bed. The two had not discussed the matter of officially announcing their relationship seriously, but they had a tacit understanding like a couple.
He spoke very little tonight. He first carefully applied moisturizer twice around her waist to prevent stretch marks.
Gu Qingwu felt very comfortable being massaged by the man's long fingers. She squinted her beautiful eyelashes and subconsciously rubbed her forehead against his arm. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard He Suichen say without any prelude: "Go meet your mother."
Gu Qingwu's eyelashes moved, and after a while, she looked into his deep eyes and said, "Fu Wanwan and I... have a weak mother-daughter relationship and have never been in touch."
He Suichen brushed the hair off her cheek with his slender fingers, and said in a gentle voice with the fragrance of lotion: "She gave birth to you, which is a great favor to me. Going to meet her is also a respect for the elders."
Now that Gu Qingwu is pregnant, whether she has trouble sleeping or suffers from morning sickness, she has personally experienced the difficulties that Fu Wanwan went through when she was pregnant with her. Even if the relationship between mother and daughter is very thin, the blood relationship can never be broken.
After thinking for a long time, Gu Qingwu held He Suichen's warm hand and whispered, "Well... the marriage has been officially announced. It would be a bit unreasonable for you, the son-in-law, not to take the initiative to meet your mother-in-law."
He Suichen kissed her cheek as if rewarding her. It felt smooth and pleasing to the touch. "I have already contacted your mother. I wanted to wait until your pregnancy was stable before going to Licheng."
"… "
Gu Qingwu was choked for three seconds: "Brother, just confess, what else did you do behind my back?"
A man like He Sui Chen who plans three steps ahead would have arranged things long ago without making a fuss, so she didn't have to worry about it. But sometimes, he would pretend to ask her what she thought and then let her know, which was really annoying.
Seeing that he was smiling without saying anything, Gu Qingwu stretched out her fingertips to pinch his arm, not daring to use any strength: "It's really the easiest for you to get married."
"You care about me, so I can succeed so easily." He Sui Chen raised his strong arms to let her vent. He lowered his head and smiled softly in her ear, as if coaxing a child: "My Qing Wu, you care about your brother the most, don't you?"
Gu Qingwu's earlobes were flushed by the warm breath, and she lost her temper in an instant. After pinching him with her fingertips, she touched his arm again. She felt a little nervous in her heart, and she couldn't explain why...
Maybe, I didn’t know what mentality to have when meeting Fu Wanwan.
