Chapter 44: Complaining About the Other’s Son’s Name
What Bai Qian said before leaving made Gu Yu very certain… that his space’s secret had been discovered by her.
However, Bai Qian didn’t seem to have any intention of digging deeper.
This made Gu Yu start to feel suspicious. He didn’t know what Bai Qian was planning… With such a good handle in her possession, why wasn’t she using it to threaten him!
Could it be that Bai Qian knew he wouldn’t easily compromise?
Or would it make things even worse…
To be honest, when Gu Yu heard Bai Qian say those words, he had the impulse to kill her.
But thinking that Bai Qian wasn’t the only one who knew about this matter, Gu Yu gave up the idea of killing her.
Especially since he and Bai Qian had just confirmed the terms of their deal, Gu Yu was also reluctant to let such a useful tool like the alliance slip away.
So, for now, it was best to take things one step at a time!
Regarding what Bai Qian said about her past life, although Gu Yu didn’t believe she was reborn, with the existence of transmigration, rebirth wasn’t impossible… Besides, that little eunuch Li Ye was also very suspicious.
From the moment he appeared before the Gu family, Li Ye had always seemed strange and enigmatic, making Gu Yu very suspicious of him.
Now, with Bai Qian added to the mix, it was like having more lice – it didn’t itch more, and more debt wasn’t a worry…
“Hoo, I shouldn’t think about it anymore.”
Lying on the bed, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and stopped worrying about these things. Instead, he started thinking about what to do next.
The idea of forming an alliance had been there for a long time, but… at that time, Gu Yu didn’t have many chips to play with, so he could only bury this thought in his heart.
When he met Bai Qian today, Gu Yu, with a trial-and-error mentality, mentioned this as a condition to Bai Qian… To his surprise, it actually worked.
Regarding his new identity as an alliance manager, Gu Yu wasn’t overly excited. Instead, he was clear that he only had a title for now and could do very little.
Apart from being able to freely obtain information from the alliance, he couldn’t interfere with the internal arrangements of the alliance.
Gu Yu didn’t care about this.
What he needed now was only the alliance’s information. As for other power struggles, Gu Yu was not interested at all.
And this alliance information, when Gu Qingheng grows up, Gu Yu can also arrange for him to join.
Gu Yu believed… that when his younger brother-in-law joined the intelligence organization, he would definitely be able to showcase his talents.
By then, the intelligence organization would probably have to change its name…
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu also had a general plan for the future. After contemplating these matters, Gu Yu blankly looked at the roof beams and started thinking about what his little wife was doing at home.
Was she researching new recipes, or going out to play with her little sister friends, or practicing martial arts diligently… Or, was she also thinking about him!
If she was thinking about him, then their hearts were connected!
They could miss each other simultaneously!
Sighing helplessly, thinking of his cute and soft little wife, Gu Yu decided that once he had handled things, he would hurry back to the village!
He missed his wife!
…
“Brother Gu, you’re being too unfair! I thought… you coming to the capital was to discuss the grain business with me!”
“What, you don’t want me to come visit you? If that’s the case, then I’ll leave!”
“Don’t go! You’ve finally come to the capital, how can I let you leave like this! Let me send someone to call Brother Tang right away. He’ll be especially happy when he knows you’re here.”
Although, due to encountering Bai Qian halfway, the Gu family’s grain had all been reserved, Gu Yu still visited Shan Chengfeng’s house the next day, intending to strengthen their relationship lest they become distant.
Since Shan Chengfeng got married, he had gained weight due to happiness. Although he didn’t look bad, he didn’t have his former suave demeanor. It seemed Bai Lin Yue took excellent care of him.
When Shan Chengfeng saw Gu Yu arriving, he was extremely happy.
Even though there was no grain left for him from the Gu family, he wasn’t unhappy. Instead, after making Gu Yu stay, he quickly sent someone to call Maoyuan Tang over for a drink.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu naturally wouldn’t be tactless and leave. He sat down and started chatting with Shan Chengfeng, catching up on each other’s lives to fill the gap of not seeing each other for a long time.
Although they had exchanged letters throughout the year, chatting in person felt more familiar, which was why Gu Yu had come this time.
Whether or not the grain was sold, he had to make this trip.
While Shan Chengfeng was recounting his year, there weren’t any grand events. It was just the trivial matters between him and Bai Lin Yue, but Shan Chengfeng spoke with great joy, showing how good their relationship was.
As for Shan Chengfeng’s son, Ye Ye Shan, he had gone to his maternal grandmother’s house to stay for a few days yesterday and wouldn’t be able to meet Gu Yu.
Regarding the name of Shan Chengfeng’s son, although Gu Yu had the urge to complain, he didn’t say it directly in front of Shan Chengfeng, thinking it wouldn’t be good to complain about the other party’s son’s name to his face.
However, before Gu Yu could complain, Shan Chengfeng himself brought it up.
With a dejected expression, Shan Chengfeng stated that his son’s name was chosen by Bai Lin Yue and didn’t have any special meaning. Bai Lin Yue just thought it sounded nice…
Shan Chengfeng’s parents, upon hearing their beloved grandson bearing a girl’s name, were very displeased. However, Bai Lin Yue was accustomed to having her way in the Shan family, and coupled with Shan Chengfeng doting on her like a treasure, she was the ultimate authority in the Shan family.
Moreover, the Bai family behind Bai Lin Yue was not to be trifled with, which left Shan Chengfeng’s parents with no choice but to reluctantly accept the name.
As for Shan Chengfeng… although he felt sorry for his son, who was it that made his wife happy!
Gu Yu was also very surprised by Shan Chengfeng’s pampering of Bai Lin Yue. He thought Bai Lin Yue was truly blessed to have found a man like Shan Chengfeng!
However, it couldn’t be said that Shan Chengfeng was unlucky either.
Seeing his smiling face whenever Bai Lin Yue was mentioned, it could only be said that it was a case of one willing to be beaten and the other willing to beat. They were indeed a family.
“Brother Gu, look, I already have a son, why is there no news from your side!”
After finishing his own affairs, Shan Chengfeng thought about Gu Yu’s marriage, which had been for quite some time, and wondered why Gu Mengyao’s stomach showed no signs of pregnancy.
He and Bai Lin Yue, who got married later, already had a child!
Gu Yu felt speechless upon hearing Shan Chengfeng’s words, thinking that no matter who saw him and Gu Mengyao, they would urge them to have children!
If he and Gu Mengyao were already adults, let alone one child, they would have two!
It’s just that… Gu Mengyao hasn’t reached adulthood yet!
