Chapter 19:
The explosive spread of entertainment news caught the inexperienced manager off guard.
While she was still contacting the water army company, there were already people with cameras squatting downstairs at the hospital.
The manager immediately went to negotiate with the person in charge of the hospital.
Just as she was in a hurry to take Tu Yan and leave through the emergency exit, she received a call from her colleagues saying that everything had been resolved, and the hot search had been withdrawn, and the paparazzi downstairs at the hospital had also left.
The manager was stunned, "Who resolved it?" "Huasheng, the Gu family." "What?" Her colleague was also puzzled: "Someone suddenly called from there, saying that they would take over and handle everything.
In just a few minutes, public opinion was under control.
You can't even find this topic anymore.
They must have spent a lot of money.
Ask Tu Yan if he has any private connections with the Gu family." "Probably not, he doesn't even seem to know Gu Chaocheng." "Then it's strange." "Maybe because Tu Yan is the brand spokesperson for Huasheng—" "Have you ever seen a patron rushing to handle scandal news for a small star?" The manager fell silent.
"By the way, what's going on with Tu Yan? Is he really pregnant?" The manager hesitated as she held her phone, "He refuses to say." "For such a big matter, he—" "Forget it, he's a rich second generation anyway.
He doesn't need this job.
He comes and goes as he pleases.
We can't control him." Her colleague sneered and joked, "Whose child is he carrying? Could it be from the Gu family?" "Don't talk nonsense." "Hey, let me tell you a secret.
I heard that in Huasheng, the nominal owner is Gu Chaocheng, but the person with the most influence is not him, but his younger brother.
This younger brother is not that old, he's very low-key and rarely shows up, but he is highly capable and has helped Gu Chaocheng a lot.
Now his net worth is over a billion, he's a diamond in the rough...
So, don't let Tu Yan bet on the wrong horse.
Betting on Gu Chaocheng has no future." The manager frowned, "What do you mean by that? Is Tu Yan that kind of person?" Her colleague smiled, "Oh, no, I was just joking.
Don't be protective of him, don't get angry.
I just don't like his holier-than-thou attitude.
Since the matter is resolved, I'll clock out now.
Goodbye." When Gu Chenbai arrived at the hospital, Tu Yan was still sitting on the bench, as if the bloody storm on the internet had nothing to do with him.
The agent finally learned about Tu Yan's pregnancy five minutes ago.
Before they could be surprised, they saw a tall and slender man walking out of the elevator.
He had an outstanding appearance, wearing a well-fitted camel-colored coat and holding an exquisite black and gold cane in his hand.
The agent felt a hint of familiarity from this person, but they were certain they had never seen him before.
The man walked straight towards Tu Yan, and the agent tried to stand up but was held back by Tu Yan.
Tu Yan shook his head and said, "It's alright, I know him." The agent hesitated for a moment and glanced at the man.
Gu Chenbai walked up to Tu Yan without saying a word and bent down to take the crumpled report from Tu Yan's hand.
He unfolded it and took a look.
Tu Yan's eyes became watery.
He didn't want to admit it, but his soul seemed to pause the moment Gu Chenbai appeared, feeling as if his heart had found a tranquil home.
Gu Chenbai remained silent for a while, and Tu Yan thought he was too overwhelmed with surprise and couldn't recover in time.
Just as Tu Yan was about to say something out of habit, Gu Chenbai simply reached out and touched Tu Yan's head, asking in a calm tone, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Tu Yan felt a lump forming in his throat, and he looked up at Gu Chenbai.
The agent understood from their interaction that these two had an extraordinary relationship.
She never intruded on Tu Yan's privacy, so she casually made up an excuse and left the corridor.
Only Gu Chenbai and Tu Yan remained.
"Tu Yan, I don't think I've ever entered your reproductive cavity in my memory, right?" Gu Chenbai's voice was calm, without any fluctuations or blame.
He asked, "So, whose child is it?" Tu Yan looked into Gu Chenbai's eyes but remained silent for a long time.
It felt as cold as drinking ice in winter, chilling to the bone.
They were locked in a stalemate when a nurse approached, breaking the silence.
The young nurse, who seemed to be an intern, timidly approached and softly asked, "Mr.
Tu, Dr.
Liang asked me to ask if you would like to schedule an appointment for a pre-termination operation?" Tu Yan instinctively looked at Gu Chenbai, who remained composed and seemingly unsurprised.
He only said, "Are you going to have the child aborted? Wouldn't it be too harmful to your health?" Tu Yan realized that Gu Chenbai could be so indifferent.
His tenderness and thoughtfulness seemed heartless in this situation.
Tu Yan glanced at the baby publicity picture on the wall and thought, What should I do? No one wants you now.
Unaware of the situation, the little nurse continued, "No, our hospital uses the most advanced painless abortion technique from abroad, which minimizes the damage to an omega's body." Tu Yan stood up, and the nurse thought he was going to sign the consent form.
But instead, Tu Yan took a deep breath and said, "I won't have the operation.
I'll keep the child." After speaking, he turned and walked away.
Gu Chenbai paused for two seconds and then followed him.
Tu Yan's steps were weak, and he struggled to open the door of the safe passage.
Gu Chenbai helped him push it open and stood in front, letting him go first.
Tu Yan caught a whiff of Gu Chenbai's scent, and his nose became sore.
He stiffly said, "Thank you." "Tu Yan," Gu Chenbai called him, "Let me take you home." Tu Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Gu Chenbai didn't call him "Rabbit Treasure" anymore.
He had not reacted yet, but Gu Chenbai's driver was already waiting downstairs.
He thought Gu Chenbai would take him to the villa, but Gu Chenbai naturally only mentioned the name of the residential area where Tu Yan currently lives, and then instructed the driver to go out from the back door of the hospital.
Gu Chenbai asked Tu Yan what he wanted to eat tonight on the way, but Tu Yan looked outside and impatiently said, "I don't feel like eating." "You have a baby now, you can't mess with your diet anymore." Tu Yan sneered and turned to Gu Chenbai, saying, "It's none of your business anyway, this child is not yours." Tu Yan thought Gu Chenbai would inquire further, but Gu Chenbai did not.
When they arrived at Tu Yan's residence downstairs, Gu Chenbai accompanied Tu Yan to get off the car, "I'll go up and cook dinner for you before I leave." Tu Yan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it out.
He needed Gu Chenbai's pheromones too much now, and there were many side effects of pregnancy that he couldn't handle alone.
Tu Yan's house was bought by him before, and he hadn't come back since he got married.
Now that he's divorced, he moved back and many things haven't been sorted out yet, scattered messily everywhere.
Tu Yan changed his shoes, walked straight to the bedroom as if nothing was there, took off his coat and pants, and slipped into the bed.
Gu Chenbai helped him tidy up outside, tearing open the tape on the cardboard box one by one, and placing the contents on the dining table.
Tu Yan heard Gu Chenbai's footsteps outside, neither urgent nor slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Tu Yan tightly held the corner of the blanket, wanting to cry but unable to.
His mind was full of Gu Chenbai's words just now, and he asked, "Whose child is it?" Whose else could it be? He regretted thinking: clearly agreed to be carefree, to leave when the time comes, but he didn't know since when, he had already given himself unreservedly to Gu Chenbai.
In the end, he turned out to be the one without any way out.
Gu Chenbai finished his work and walked into the bedroom, bending down to pick up his own clothes from the floor, putting them in the dirty clothes basket in the bathroom, and then turning to the side of Tu Yan's bed.
He suddenly sat down, Tu Yan's heart tightened, and he closed his eyes in a hurry.
Tu Yan felt Gu Chenbai's hand reaching over, holding his breath, and everything became silent.
Gu Chenbai's fingers touched the collar of Tu Yan, rubbing against the cotton fabric.
He unbuttoned Tu Yan's first button.
Tu Yan's heart began to beat faster, and his eyelashes kept trembling.
Gu Chenbai's fingertips pressed against Tu Yan's neck, and Tu Yan swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple sliding against Gu Chenbai's fingers, and he heard Gu Chenbai chuckle softly, "Still pretending to be asleep?" He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Gu Chenbai using his fingertips to hook the necklace on Tu Yan's neck.
That necklace was strung with Tu Yan's wedding ring.
Gu Chenbai's gaze was teasing, as if asking Tu Yan: Didn't you say you would throw away the ring? Why are you still wearing it? Tu Yan blushed and snatched the necklace back, turning his back and grabbing the blanket to cover himself up.
Gu Chenbai spoke again after a long time, "I went through a sensitive period before, and I didn't remember anything when I woke up, but I always felt like you had been here." "No, it's impossible, don't have delusions," Tu Yan hid in the blanket, biting the corner of it resentfully.
"I won't help you through the sensitive period, and I won't give birth to a child for you, jerk."
