When Gu Qingwu was staying in the old house to take care of her pregnancy until the end of the year, "The Dress" was shortlisted and won an award at a film festival. This was the first time in her acting career that she won the Best Actress trophy. The movie was a huge hit at the box office, and she was even commented by a well-known director in the circle as one of the most explosive traffic stars.
What shocked everyone was that Gu Qingwu, who had been out of the limelight for half a year, chose not to attend the award ceremony, which became a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
On the day of the film festival, Gu Qingwu recorded a thank-you video for the audience and fans.
In the picture, she is sitting on a beige sofa. Next to the background wall is a tree with branches full of small tomatoes. Her long hair is fluffy and naturally scattered on her shoulders, making her face look fair and tender. She is smiling at the camera.
Because she was wearing loose clothes and covered with a thin blanket, Gu Qingwu did not look pregnant. She said she was taking care of her health and regretted not being able to come to receive the award.
This video was posted on Weibo, and some netizens came up with conspiracy theories, suspecting that since Gu Qingwu has retired from the entertainment industry and even failed to attend award ceremonies, she might be staying in a wealthy family to take care of her baby.
As soon as the news got out, fans were excited and watched the video over and over again to not miss any details.
In the end, there was one more unsolved mystery than Gu Qingwu.
…
During the Spring Festival, no matter how lively the entertainment industry was, it was separated from Gu Qingwu by a glass wall. She spent the whole day in the old house concentrating on taking care of her pregnancy, while He Sui Chen, as the patriarch, had obviously more social engagements.
Most of them were turned down directly. Some of the older generation were difficult to persuade, so they could only show up and have a cup of tea.
Occasionally, He Sui Chen would return to the old house drunk. He would deliberately avoid Gu Qingwu, go to the bathroom to wash first, and throw his suit and shirt all over the floor. Under the white light, his neck was still loose with his tie untied, and the solid muscles on his chest had smooth lines, and every inch of his body seemed to have been carefully carved.
All the way down to the black pants, the mermaid line is extremely sexy, and the curve is faintly visible.
He Sui Chen was really drunk tonight. He stood in front of the porcelain white bathtub, holding a belt in his bony hands, looking dazed.
Gu Qingwu walked in and put the dark blue robe aside. Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, she asked, "What's the matter?"
He Suichen's reaction was a little slower than usual. His crow-feather eyelashes shone in the light. He lowered his head to look at her and said, "Where is my Qingwu?"
Gu Qingwu stretched out two slender fingers and waved them in front of his eyes: "Brother... How much did you drink tonight? I'm right here, can you see me?"
He Suichen seemed not to see her, but he was able to talk to her fluently.
From a few words, Gu Qingwu realized that the reason He Sui Chen drank so much was because he was forced to drink by Xie Lanshen and his group. They said they were congratulating him on the upcoming birth of a daughter, and they took turns to toast him. Xie Lanshen also took out cute photos of his daughter from his mobile phone and showed them to He Sui Chen one by one.
He Sui Chen was in a very good mood tonight and would accept anyone who asked him to drink.
Fortunately, he remained sober enough and refused when someone wanted to arrange a marriage for him.
After drinking for a whole night, even a god would be a little drunk.
After He Sui finished indulging himself, he wanted to find Gu Qingwu. He refused to take a shower, walked out of the bathroom, and lay down on the bed smelling of alcohol.
Gu Qingwu then came out of the bathroom with a warm towel and stood by the bed with her big belly. He Suichen closed his eyes and was motionless, his handsome face pressed against her pillow. The muscles from his back to his waist were tight and strong, accumulating steady strength. He did not take off his trousers and was deeply sunken in the light blue quilt.
She quietly wiped him with a towel, and brushed away the black hair that was pressed against the end of the man's eyebrows with her fingertips.
Then, He Sui Chen opened his eyes, and his dark pupils stared at the person.
When Gu Qingwu was looked at like this, it felt like her heart was being pulled at, and it felt incredibly soft.
She placed the towel on the bedside table, lowered her head slightly, and kissed him on the forehead: "Don't drink with Xie Lanshen and the others in the future... This won't happen again, and I won't blame you tonight."
He Sui Chen raised his strong arms and hugged her in his arms. It seemed that he had been staring at her for a long time and finally recognized his girl.
The handsome face pressed against her neck, his breath was hot and smelled of alcohol: "Qingwu..."
"I am here."
"Green mist..."
"Um."
"Wife."
"I'm here, brother." Gu Qingwu rested her head on his arm, her long black hair was messed up by the man, her face was white and delicate, and she smiled: "In your arms."
He Suichen didn't know if he had listened or not. He stared at her quietly with his dark eyes for a while, then came closer, breathing warmly and slightly tickling Gu Qingwu's ears. She heard him ask in a low and hoarse voice, "Where's my daughter?"
Gu Qingwu had no choice but to grab his hot palm, put it on her belly, and said, "Your daughter is here."
After looking for his wife, He Sui Chen looked for his daughter. He put her into the bed, knelt on one knee on the bed, and reached out to lift up her clothes.
That beautifully curved waistline has grown bigger because of pregnancy, and her skin is snow-white without a trace of stretch marks, all thanks to him.
He Suichen lowered his head, resting his forehead against her belly, his voice was almost vague between his lips and teeth, and he was whispering something to the child. Gu Qingwu wanted to listen carefully, but found that she couldn't understand...
She didn't expect He Sui Chen to be like this when he was drunk. After whispering to the little one in her belly, he hugged her and talked to her.
He was making a fuss the entire night, occasionally holding her in his arms for a short nap. She didn't know when he woke up, but he began to kiss her neck, ears, and black hair, all of which were stained with his scent.
Gu Qingwu had only one thought in his mind, that when he sobered up tomorrow, he would force him to cut off contact with Xie Lanshen and the others during the Spring Festival.
Those men are so mean. How can they trick people into drinking like this
…
However, when He Sui Chen woke up early the next morning, he sobered up and refused to admit his drunken behavior the night before.
When he heard Gu Qingwu recount how he had been mumbling endlessly while holding the pregnant woman's belly, how he had been holding her without sleeping, and how he had been talking coquettishly, his handsome face was extremely calm, his thin lips even curled up, and he clearly didn't believe it: "Are you dreaming?"
Gu Qingwu was so angry at him that she didn't even bother to say a word: "Haha."
While He Sui Chen refused to admit it, he never went out drinking with his brothers again.
The entire Spring Festival became exceptionally peaceful. In the blink of an eye, Gu Qingwu's month was getting older and older. The atmosphere in the He family became tense. Even the old Chinese doctor was invited to diagnose his pulse every now and then.
Compared to He Sui Chen's strictness and attention, Gu Qingwu's mentality is very stable. There are not many women in the old house who can talk to her. From time to time, she would ask Yu Siqing for some parenting experience. She knew what she was talking about, and she was not afraid.
Weekend afternoon.
As per the usual practice, an old Chinese doctor was invited in. After taking Gu Qingwu's pulse, he prescribed some Chinese medicine for the pregnancy.
He Sui Chen kept asking questions. He even remembered clearly how many times the little one in his belly had turned over in a day because he hadn't been moving much recently. He dragged the old Chinese doctor to ask questions for more than half an hour.
Gu Qingwu sat beside him, drinking red date tea slowly, occasionally giving him a nagging look.
He Suichen calmly asked the old Chinese doctor the last question, and suddenly asked the next one: "She is pregnant now, can we still have sex?"
There was an instant silence in the room, and the old Chinese doctor paused in packing his medicine box. After all, he was old and had seen a lot of the world.
Facing He Suichen's question, he said in a very serious tone: "Absolutely not."
Gu Qingwu was also shocked. He had endured it throughout the pregnancy and had not even touched her with a finger. What was he thinking about now
Just as she was taking a sip of water to ease the embarrassment, she saw He Sui Chen's eyes fixed on her and the next second he said, "Have you heard? The old doctor said no."
Gu Qingwu paused in drinking the water and nearly choked to death before he could swallow it.
She had never seen such a frame-up. Before she could retract her dazed expression, the old Chinese doctor shook his head and earnestly reminded He Sui Chen not to let the pregnant woman act recklessly and that young people should exercise more restraint.
"… "
-
Annoyed by He Suichen's move, Gu Qingwu didn't bother to talk to him for several days. When she was lying in bed at night, she saw the man trying to hug her from the corner of her eye, so she deliberately said with a stern face: "Don't touch me... I'm in my advanced stage now, and I can't stand your touch."
"You're getting angry just because it's a joke?"
He Suichen didn't dare to hug her forcefully, fearing that he would bump her stomach, so he quietly came over, his long fingers entwined with her black hair scattered on the pillow, and the laughter that escaped from his throat was particularly magnetic and deep in the night: "This is called husband and wife interest."
Gu Qingwu grabbed his slender, cold white fingers and gritted her teeth, saying fiercely: "Then you can't deliberately ask the old Chinese doctor... about our sexual intercourse?"
He Sui Chen just smiled. He liked to see her face flushed with shame. When she got angry, he was willing to coax her.
Gu Qingwu didn't find it hard to stay in the old house to take care of her baby because he would occasionally have fun with her. In the blink of an eye, it was almost time for her to give birth.
One month in advance.
He Sui Chen booked a ward in a private hospital with the highest confidentiality and sealed off an entire floor, so that no information could be leaked out.
It was not known whether it was because of He Yunjian's previous experience or because he was too cautious, but He Sui Chen directly settled down in the hospital and asked Gu Qingwu to stay there to give birth and not go anywhere else.
For Yu Siqing, this can only mean that there is such a huge difference between not loving and being loved.
She continued to do her own thing, often going in and out of the hospital to accompany Gu Qingwu as she was about to give birth, and she pretended not to hear anything the He family whispered about her.
A week before the due date, Gu Qingwu was eating and drinking well in the ward when he discovered that He Sui Chen was nervous again. He would go to the hospital rooftop to smoke from time to time. His mood of becoming a father for the first time was a little depressing and even tobacco could not really dissipate it. This happened too many times and it directly affected the pregnant woman.
So at night, after the nurse finished her rounds and left.
When Gu Qingwu saw He Suichen taking out a cigarette box from his pocket and going to the rooftop to smoke again, he stopped him directly.
There was only one light on in the dim ward. She leaned on the big white pillow on the bed, holding the man's wrist with her fingers, and asked in a casual tone, "Brother, what are you afraid of?"
He Suichen's eyebrows were reflected in the light, and he frowned deeply. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "My eldest brother said... He recently dreamed of some fragments. It was Yu Siqing who called him and cried when she was in labor."
"So you're scared too?"
"You usually feel pain for half a day even if you cut your finger. The pain of giving birth is like breaking all the bones in your body, Qingwu... I regret it. Thinking of you lying helplessly on the hospital bed, enduring great pain, I..."
He Sui Chen wanted to touch her belly with his fingers, but froze when they were an inch apart. His eyes were filled with deep emotions as he stared at her pretty face. It was very small, not even as big as his palm, and she looked like a girl without makeup.
And he made the girl he held in his hands have to endure the pain of childbirth at such a young age.
Gu Qingwu was moved by him for a few seconds, pursed her lips, and when she was about to cry, she couldn't help it and finally laughed softly: "Brother... I had a caesarean section, okay? As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them, your little lover from your previous life was born. Medical technology is so advanced now, I'm not afraid."
She said she wasn't afraid, but tears were falling from the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand and grabbed the collar of his shirt: "Don't scare me."
Seeing Gu Qingwu's tears streaming down her face uncontrollably with a sobbing tone, He Sui Chen was shocked to realize that he had invisibly put a lot of psychological pressure on her. The expression on her handsome face changed several times, and her heart was tightened and painful because of her crying.
He threw away his armor and bowed to fate. His life was completely dependent on Gu Qingwu alone.
