At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 491 This is fate, I accept it!

Even if he didn't believe it back then, he could choose not to have it if he didn't want it.

The right to have children is in her own hands; she can decide for herself and shouldn't place her hopes on another person.

This is something she only understood after Lu Wenzhou passed away.

Gu Ronghui's face turned slightly pale, and he was so angry that he felt like he was grinding his back teeth to powder.

Looking at the children playing in the distance, Lu Shengsheng sighed, "Gu Ronghui, we... are just destined to be apart. It's fate, I accept it, and you have to accept it too!"

Gu Ronghui's throat tightened. "I don't admit it!"

Lu Shengsheng didn't care much: "Acknowledge it or not, it's up to you!"

She yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, push me back to sleep."

She got up and sat in her wheelchair, waiting for Gu Rong to push her back.

Gu Rong got up and pushed her back to the ward. Lu Shengsheng said she wanted to sleep and then fell asleep peacefully.

He couldn't sleep and wanted to deal with a few emails, but he just stared blankly at the screen, unable to absorb a single word.

***
Lu Shengsheng seemed to have figured things out. She no longer resisted seeing Gu Ronghui and even treated him like a mule without any qualms.

Gu Ronghui was also willing to be ordered around by her.

A week passed quickly, and the doctor said she was fine and could go home to rest.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Gu Rong came to pick her up early in the morning.

While eating the fruit her aunt had brought, Lu Shengsheng looked curiously at Gu Ronghui, who was helping to tidy up, and asked, "Is the Gu Group really not bankrupt?"

Otherwise, why would he have so much free time?
Gu Rong paused, turned to look at her, and said, "The company has a professional team. If it went bankrupt just because I left for a moment, those people would have been fired long ago."

Lu Shengsheng said "Oh," and then asked, "What about your retired emperor? Why doesn't he summon you back?"

Given Gu Baisong's temperament, he shouldn't have allowed him to stay in Country S for so long.

She was like a curious child today, asking many "why" questions.

Gu Rong put her cup away and walked over, saying, "I gave him two choices. First, I resigned from all my positions in the Gu Group and let Gu Jingchen take over."

Lu Shengsheng raised an eyebrow. What could Gu Jingchen, that spoiled brat, possibly do? "And second place?"

"I'll shave my head and become a monk."

Clearly, Gu Baisong didn't want to make either choice, so he could only angrily give up and leave.

A look of disdain flashed in Lu Shengsheng's eyes. "You're so impure, which temple would accept you?"

Gu Rong didn't answer, his dark eyes fixed on her with warmth.

Lu Shengsheng grabbed a cherry and threw it at him, "I'm not a temple!"

Gu Rong caught the cherry and put it in her mouth. One bite and it was full of sweet juice.

After sending her back, Gu Ronghui didn't try to stay any longer and went back to her villa.

After that, he rarely appeared in front of Lu Shengsheng, but would occasionally send her some fresh fruits, vegetables, and baby supplies.

Sometimes, when Lu Shengsheng saw the aunt taking things from her, she would peek over her shoulder.

As the pregnancy progressed, there were many things to prepare for the baby. E-commerce in S country wasn't as convenient as in China, and she also preferred the feeling of shopping in person.

Lu Shengsheng took her nanny to a maternity and baby store. The nanny pushed the shopping cart behind them. Lu Shengsheng picked out items according to the list on her phone while asking about sizes, materials, and so on.

First, I bought everything I needed for production, and then I bought Shuangshuang.

We spent the whole afternoon shopping, and the trunk was overflowing with all the stuff we bought. Luckily, the salesperson said they could offer home delivery.

The next day, the baby store delivered all the things she had bought.

The nanny was sorting and organizing things in the living room. Lu Shengsheng looked at the crib on the floor and the stroller that needed to be assembled. "What should I do with this?" She was too pregnant to do it.

The auntie also looked troubled. "Miss, look at my age... please don't make things difficult for me!"

Strollers are okay, they're mostly large parts that you can figure out how to assemble, but cribs are too complicated.

Lu Shengsheng pondered, "Could we hire someone to assemble it?"

"It's possible, but it will cost a lot of money and you might have to wait several days." Labor costs are high here, and there are few skilled workers.

"What should we do then?" Lu Shengsheng began to miss China. It was so much more convenient there; you could get anything done with just a phone call!
"How about we ask your ex-husband for help?" the aunt asked hesitantly. "I see he has a lot of young and strong men over there, so this shouldn't be difficult for him."

Lu Shengsheng thought it was a good idea, but she didn't want to tell Gu Rong.

As if reading her mind, the aunt took the initiative to say, "You don't need to say anything, I'll go knock on the door."

Lu Shengsheng scratched the tip of her nose, pretending nothing had happened, "I'm going back to my room to rest."

After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.

The aunt figured it out; she had agreed.

After packing her things, she took a bag of fruit and knocked on the door next door. She originally wanted to ask Gu Ronghui's driver or bodyguard for help, but she didn't expect Gu Ronghui to come over in person.

Gu Ronghui said with a serious expression, "This kind of thing requires a lot of patience, and they are too big and strong to do it."

Driver & Bodyguard: "..."

The aunt didn't object and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble."

She led him upstairs and pushed open the door to the south-facing room. "This is the nursery. The toolbox is all here. Miss is resting now. Please keep your voice down."

Gu Rong nodded. "Okay."

The aunt went out and closed the door for him.

Gu Rong opened the box; all the materials and parts were complete, and all she had to do was assemble it according to the instructions.

It's not complicated, but it takes a lot of time.

He took off his coat and tossed it onto the bay window, unbuttoned the sleeves to his elbows, squatted down, and began to work.

When Lu Shengsheng woke up, she was hungry again, so the aunt brought her a snack when she went downstairs.

After finishing her meal, Lu Shengsheng asked curiously, "Is the bed all put together yet?"

The aunt said uncertainly, "I don't know, it should be better soon."

Lu Shengsheng put down her spoon and stood up: "I'll go take a look."

The aunt wanted to remind her that Gu Rong had returned before her, but she swallowed the words back.

She's already on the stairs; it wouldn't be good if she accidentally tripped and fell.

Lu Shengsheng pushed open the nursery door and saw the man's tall figure standing in front of the crib, his slender fingers gently stroking the crib's railings, seemingly filled with endless emotion and longing.

My heart suddenly clenched, and I felt a sharp pain for some reason.

Only now did she truly realize...

Perhaps Gu Ronghui didn't really hate children.

They don't dislike their children.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Gu Rong turned back to meet her almond-shaped eyes, her throat tightened, and she lowered her eyes to suppress her emotions.

After a moment of silence, she spoke up, "I didn't know you woke up so early. The crib is all set up. Take a look and see how it is. I'm going back now. Call me if you need anything."

As he strode past her with his long legs, Lu Shengsheng noticed several wounds on his hands.
