You Are My Gravity

However, in Qin Se’s ears, Gu Jingyuan’s words’ underlying meaning was deep and profound.

She licked the corners of her mouth and threw a glance at Shen Rui. She felt that the green color paint on his body had grown even shinier.

The group of people who had followed behind Gu Jingyuan had their heads lowered and remained still. They were thinking to themselves that their boss was acting rather strange today. Usually, he wasn’t this talkative, but today, he even had the leisure time to chat about children with others. That was amazing!

The hotel manager smiled and said, “Mr. Gu said this before we came here. He didn’t know that Mrs. Shen’s birthday was today, therefore, he didn’t manage to prepare any gifts. He felt regretful for this, so, he asked me to add a few more dishes for the banquet as a token of appreciation. He hopes Mrs. Shen wouldn’t mind…”

“Not at all, not at all... we are truly honored. Yes, honored... for Mr. Gu to drop by.”

Wang Qiuxia loved to gossip, and she had so many means up her sleeves to curse at people.

But now, she was acting so timid that she could barely complete a sentence.

Shen Rui should have snatched this opportunity and eagerly gone forward to befriend Gu Jingyuan. Yet, he didn’t have the heart for it.

He was standing behind Qin Se and staring at her with fierce eyes. If he had a knife in his hand, he would have stabbed it into her body already.

The thought of Qin Se having leverage over him, making him a cuckold, and even forcing him to admit that that little b*stard was his child made his heart burn hot as though someone had poured hot oil over it. He harbored so much hatred in his heart.

Shen Zhiguo then invited Gu Jingyuan to sit down and eat together, but the manager replied on his behalf by saying that his boss’s plate was full and it was about time for him to get going. In short, what he was trying to say was—you are not qualified to dine with President Gu.

When Wang Qiuxia saw that Gu Jingyuan was about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, “Little Rui, quickly, take your wife to send your uncle off.”

Shen Rui was still immersed in his hatred toward Qin Se, so, he did not hear what his mother had said.

Qin Se reached out for Shen Rui’s arm. “Hon... cough... we should send Uncle off...”

She had wanted to say “honey” earlier on, but she had felt a chill run down her back before she could finish. Thus, she drew back the word together with her arm.

Gu Jingyuan’s gaze coolly swept over Qin Se’s stomach. “The young lady is pregnant. There is no need for her to send me off.”

After saying that, Gu Jingyuan left the banquet.

Qin Se’s hunch told her that the glance Gu Jingyuan had cast on her belly before he left made it seem as though her life lay within his palm.

This guy must have thought that she was pregnant and was ready to punish her.

No, this cannot be! Qin Se had to seek an opportunity to talk to him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if she acted too slowly, she might end up dead.

Qin Se was deep in her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Shen Rui glaring at her angrily. Her face changed instantly as she smiled and said softly. “Why is my husband looking at me like that? Aren’t you overjoyed? You told me last year that you wished to be a father before you turned 30. Now that your wish has come true, aren’t you happy?”

Zhao Boyuan ground his teeth. The tablecloth was almost ripped apart in his hands. He glared at Shen Rui with hatred in his eyes. He had even said such a thing to his wife?!

“Qin Se, you… I...” Shen Rui was clenching his fist. He raised his head, ready to curse, but when he saw Qin Se unlocking her phone, he immediately changed his fist, which looked as if it was about to punch something, into stroking her hair. The previous words of cursing which were on the tip of his tongue turned into, “Cough, how could I not be happy? I’m excited!”
