Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1120 - How Much Would He Hate Himself?

Chapter 1120: How Much Would He Hate Himself?

He suddenly said, “The relationship between Lu Jinnan and his wife… has been quite good recently, right?”

Ever since Lu Jinnan got together with Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan’s expression had become the barometer for the married couple’s relationship.

Even the people in the company found it weird. After so many years, who’d have expected to see a smile on Lu Jinnan’s face when he had always worn a cold expression.

“Judging from your expression… Yun Liuli, who has lost her memories, seems to have created some trouble for you?” Fu Huai’an turned and looked at Gu Qingcheng, having a hint of a smile in his voice. However, his hand didn’t stop stroking the horse.

At the mention of Yun Liuli, Gu Qingcheng lowered his gaze. He thought of the dream from last night, which had made his heart palpitate but had also made him feel shameless. He felt very irritable.

“No…” Gu Qingcheng loosened his collar and said. His gaze landed on a shallow puddle not far away. The sunlight shone down on it, and the light rays were extremely piercing. Gu Qingcheng closed his eyes and turned his gaze away.

Fu Huai’an turned and looked at Gu Qingcheng, whose breathing wasn’t calm. Ever since they had started dealing with underground businesses, Fu Huai’an hadn’t seen Gu Qingcheng so obviously and uncontrollably agitated.

At the thought of how he had promised Lin Nuan to persuade Gu Qingcheng, Fu Huai’an patted his black horse and gestured for the staff to take Lightning back. He then took a hot towel from a staff member’s hand and stood alongside Gu Qingcheng.

“I plan on letting you pull yourself out of the underground businesses!” Fu Huai’an said.

It wasn’t that Gu Qingcheng didn’t wish to pull himself out, but if he were to do that now… it would be a little too late. Those people had their eyes on Gu Qingcheng… and on Haicheng!

Moreover, there was also Fu Huai’an’s identity, as well as Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng, who had both also gotten involved.

During these years, Gu Qingcheng had been vicious and drastic in the way he did things. Many people were waiting to take his life.

If they couldn’t find a suitable person to take this position, the moment Gu Qingcheng drew himself out, there was no assurance that others wouldn’t find out about what had happened back then through him. Then, would they still be able to enjoy such a leisurely scene where Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan were chatting happily and where Fu Huai’an was stroking his horse?

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t pull out…

Moreover, if he were to pull himself out, what would happen to the people in such a massive organization?

Gu Qingcheng had more reservations. He was planning to sit firmly on this seat until the end of his life.

He had no family, so there was nothing he was afraid of.

However, Yun Shoushan and Yun Liuli had been the variables in his life!

Initially, Yun Shoushan had been Gu Qingcheng’s path of retreat. However, ever since Yun Shoushan died because of him, Gu Qingcheng stopped having such yearnings, save… more people got involved.

“There’s no need. Things are fine like this…” Gu Qingcheng’s deep voice sounded calm.

Fu Huai’an wiped his hand with the towel. “But you must consider Yun Liuli. Old Gu, it’s impossible to hide it from your eyes when you love someone!”

Gu Qingcheng’s hands that were in his pockets clenched tightly, and he didn’t say anything.

Over these years, Fu Huai’an hadn’t gotten involved with his brothers’ relationships. Gu Qingcheng felt that the reason Fu Huai’an was saying this now was likely because of the feelings he had for Yun Liuli… Fu Huai’an had already seen through him very clearly.

He had no intention of finding any excuses!

“This time around, Yun Liuli has gotten into an accident and lost her memories… Her mind is now that of a seven-year-old child. You must also be feeling happy about this. You’ll be able to pamper and dote on her openly!” Fu Huai’an placed the towel onto the fence. “Why be so hard on yourself?”

Fu Huai’an’s words felt like a streak of fire brushing past Gu Qingcheng’s heart, causing his heart to feel a burning pain.

Why be so hard on himself?

For the sake of giving Yun Liuli a peaceful life for the latter part of her life, for… the only bloodline that Yun Shoushan had left behind!

“I spoke with Xiao Nuan about you and Yun Liuli before. Xiao Nuan told me that… a father’s greatest wish is probably to see his child happy. Think about it… If Yun Shoushan were to find out that because he had entrusted his daughter in your care, his daughter was made to never find happiness in her life, Yun Shoushan… how much would he hate himself?”

Gu Qingcheng’s thin lips pursed tightly together, but he still didn’t say a word.

Fu Huai’an had said all that he should…

Whether or not Gu Qingcheng could think through things and let things go, it’d all depend on himself.

Fu Huai’an patted Gu Qingcheng’s arm. “Let’s go… I’ll have a cup of tea with you inside!”

Gu Qingcheng nodded and, together with Fu Huai’an, turned to enter the break room made from pure wood and glass.

…

Gu Qingcheng was a man of his words. He managed to come back before lunchtime. He even brought the velvet cake that Yun Liuli liked.

The moment he entered, he saw the young lady holding onto her phone, engrossed in playing Tetris. When Auntie Li saw Gu Qingcheng entering, she threw a glance in Yun Liuli’s direction, wiped her hands with her apron, then shook her head. “Mr. Gu, I think it’s a great mistake to give that phone to Xiao Liuli! Ever since she got up this morning, she has been playing with the phone, and she won’t listen to any persuasions at all. What if that small screen hurts her eyes?”

When Gu Qingcheng heard Auntie Li’s words, he looked in Yun Liuli’s direction. He frowned and said sternly, “Yun Liuli, put away the phone and get up for lunch. If you continue to play with it, I’ll confiscate it!”

Yun Liuli looked up at Gu Qingcheng with a pitiful gaze. “In the past, my dad would never allow me to play with his phone. Uncle Qingcheng, since you’ve bought me a phone, then let me play with it! I won’t think about playing it after I get sick of it!”

This… seemed to make sense!

Therefore, Gu Qingcheng nodded indulgently. “Have lunch first. Play later!”

Auntie Li was rendered speechless.

The reason she had raised the complaint was so that Mr. Gu could take Xiao Liuli under control. But why did he indulge her so openly?

Auntie Li sighed. Forget it. What could she do when Mr. Gu wanted to be indulgent toward her?

However, even though Yun Liuli agreed to play after having her lunch, she continued to hold her chopsticks with one hand and played Tetris with her other hand at the dining room table.

Yun Liuli was intentionally trying to see where Gu Qingcheng’s baseline was. She wanted to test to see how much Gu Qingcheng would indulge her!

Gu Qingcheng put a piece of spare rib onto Yun Liuli’s plate, then frowned and said in a soft voice, “We agreed that you’d have your meal first!”

“But I’m about to break my previous score!” Yun Liuli said, not stopping her hands.

After a moment of silence, Gu Qingcheng said, “Don’t just focus on playing. Have some food…”

Yun Liuli’s lips curled up uncontrollably, though she tried hard to restrain it, fearing that Gu Qingcheng would see through her. She lowered her head and quickly stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth, then turned her eyes toward her phone screen again.

Seeing that Yun Liuli was only focused on eating the rice, Gu Qingcheng put a piece of mushroom into her bowl. Seeing that Yun Liuli only cared to look at her phone screen, he knocked on Yun Liuli’s bowl with his chopsticks.

Yun Liuli quickly turned her head and stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, together with the mushroom that Gu Qingcheng had got for her.

As expected, Gu Qingcheng’s indulgence toward her was without a baseline!

Yun Liuli had her meal while playing the game. Gu Qingcheng had been getting dishes for her the entire time. Auntie Li shook her head when she saw this…

She had seen people who spoiled their children, but she hadn’t seen someone who did it so much!
