Chapter 503 He Doesn't Like Anyone
Lu Shengsheng was in a good mood tonight and drank some wine.

While in the car, I felt a bit tipsy from the alcohol and leaned against the window with my eyes closed to rest.

The car stopped at Guanhe Villa. Gu Rong got out of the car and handed Lu Yunchuan over to Aunt Sun. Turning her head, she saw Lu Shengsheng, who was still asleep against the car window.

After hesitating for three seconds, Lu Shengsheng carefully opened the car door and fell down, losing her support.

He quickly reached out and supported her head, then gently lifted her out of the car and turned to walk into the villa.

Lu Shengsheng remained unconscious.

He carried her into the bedroom and carefully placed her on the soft bed. Just as he was about to get up, he met her almond-shaped eyes, which she had opened at some point.

Her eyes were gentle yet dreamy.

Gu Rong's throat tightened slightly, "Sheng Sheng?"

Lu Shengsheng pursed her lips, a smile still lingering at the corners of her mouth, "Gu, Rong, Hui..."

“Yes…it’s me,” he replied.

"Gu Ronghui..." she called out again.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's been three years, haven't you let go yet?"

Gu Ronghui sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and brushed the hair off her face, and whispered, "You haven't let go either."

She couldn't let go of Lu Wenzhou, and she couldn't let go of him.

Fate manipulated them at will, never once considering showing them mercy.

Lu Shengsheng remained silent for a long time, then said, "What if I can never let go of it for the rest of my life?"

"I'll wait for you my whole life." Gu Rong's deep voice was as firm as death.

Lu Shengsheng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Gu Ronghui, sometimes I really hate you!"

Gu Rong's throat tightened. "I know."

I hate myself too.

If only I had recognized my own heart sooner, if only I had been by her side when her mother passed away, if only…

He had thought about "what ifs" countless times, and felt excruciating pain countless times.

Lu Shengsheng seemed not to hear him, her breathing gradually evened out, and she drifted off to sleep.

Gu Rong reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his eyes tender and affectionate. He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "I don't care if you can let go of him or how much hatred you still have for me! He's gone now. I'm already content to be able to stay by your and Tingting's side like this."

***
The weather in Beijing turned cold very quickly, and Lu Shengsheng sneezed several times when she woke up in the morning.

Aunt Sun kindly reminded me, "It's getting cold, wear more clothes."

Lu Shengsheng nodded and went back to her room to get a coat, but she still felt dizzy in the afternoon and stayed on the sofa, not wanting to move.

Aunt Sun came over and touched her forehead, then exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, you have a fever!"

Lu Shengsheng let out an "oh," as if she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

"Miss, Miss..." the aunt called several more times, but she didn't respond.

The woman was terrified and immediately called for an ambulance.

Hospital, ward.

Lu Shengsheng opened her eyes and saw the IV drip hanging there. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples. "What's wrong with me?"

"Acute respiratory infection, high fever of 40°C, your aunt was so scared that she called an ambulance and took you to the hospital."

A deep voice rang out from the side.

Lu Shengsheng wasn't surprised that he was here; his aunt must have informed him.

"That's it..."

"This isn't your first time in the capital, do you know how much the weather changes here?" Gu Ronghui's deep voice carried a hint of reproach.

"I just wasn't paying attention for a moment, and I caught a cold," Lu Shengsheng said, coughing a few times as she spoke.

Gu Rong got up and poured a glass of warm water, then helped her sit up to drink it.

"The doctor said you need to have IV fluids for two more days, so I've admitted you to the hospital."

Lu Shengsheng raised her eyes. "Is this necessary?"

"It'll save you from having to travel back and forth." Gu Rong knew what she was worried about. "I'll take Tingting with me this weekend." Lu Shengsheng: "Aren't you afraid people will misunderstand?"

"What misunderstanding?" Gu Rong asked in a deep voice, "Since he calls me Daddy, then he is my son."

Lu Shengsheng didn't argue with him about this issue and obediently went to the hospital to receive an IV drip.

On Saturdays, Lu Yunchuan doesn't go to kindergarten, so Gu Ronghui takes him to the company and takes him everywhere she goes, then sends him back to Guanhe Villa in the evening.

On Sunday, Gu Baisong invited Gu Rong to come back for dinner, and he brought Lu Yunchuan along.

Gu Baisong's health has been deteriorating over the past two years. When he saw Lu Yunchuan, his face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Gu Rong replied calmly, "You're the one who told me to come back, and now that I'm back, you're not happy."

Gu Baisong choked, "You..."

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Gu Jingchen tried to smooth things over, "Dad, let's eat."

She glanced at Lu Yunchuan but said nothing.

Everyone was talking during the meal, and Gu Baisong lost his appetite after a few bites and went upstairs.

Lu Yunchuan then spoke up: "Daddy, does Grandpa not like me?"

Gu Rong picked up a piece of fish for him, saying, "He doesn't like anyone, including me."

Lu Yunchuan drawled out an "Oh," and added, "It's okay, I like Daddy."

Gu Rong smiled and hummed in agreement.

Gu Jingchen asked with concern, "Is Lu Shengsheng still not better?"

"I'm being discharged tomorrow. There are a lot of germs in the hospital, so I won't be stopping there," Gu Rong replied succinctly.

Gu Jingchen didn't say anything more.

After Lu Yunchuan finished eating, he needed to go to the restroom, and Gu Ronghui asked the maid to take him there.

Gu Rong looked at his back, her expression somewhat complicated. "I never expected that you could treat Lu Wenzhou's child as your own."

"I like all of Sheng Sheng's children," Gu Ronghui said without any hesitation.

In the past, I might have had reservations, but now I just feel that it's wonderful to have this child.

Gu Jingchen chuckled: "Big brother, you really are different from before."

Gu Rong glanced at him and said, "Liang Hanyue's daughter is already so grown up, and you're still keeping yourself chaste for her sake!"

Gu Jingchen was silent for three seconds, then said, "I just don't know how to like someone."

Gu Ronghui also fell silent.

They're both in the same boat; who's really better off than the other?

**
Lu Yunchuan soon started his winter vacation. When Lu Shengsheng wasn't busy, she would take him to the company. When she was busy, she would send him to Liang Hanyue's place so that he could play with Liang Jinxi.

Before we knew it, the Spring Festival had arrived.

Liang Hanyue invited them to spend the Spring Festival together, but Lu Shengsheng declined.

The Jin family is large and wealthy, with so many relatives who would all be very busy, so I won't go and cause them any trouble.

Gu Ronghui has been quite busy lately, and has had Secretary Li deliver a lot of New Year's goods, so they don't need to prepare anything at all.

Aunt Sun was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Lu Shengsheng helped Lu Yunchuan put up paper-cut window decorations.

Lu Shengsheng pasted the couplets a little crookedly, and Lu Yunchuan couldn't help but mutter, "Mom, you seem a little clumsy!"

Lu Shengsheng gave him a loving "caress," which was "utterly rebellious."

"I told you to go to the left, but you still stuck it crooked..." Lu Yunchuan spread his hands innocently, "What else could it be but stupidity?"

"So what if it's crooked? It's not like a person went astray..."

"It doesn't look good, let's repaint it!" Lu Yunchuan had a bit of OCD and couldn't stand seeing the other side not neat.

"Troublesome..." Lu Shengsheng stepped forward and carefully tore off the couplet. "Like this?"

Lu Yunchuan: "To the left... to the left, a little higher..."

Lu Shengsheng stood on tiptoe, lost her balance, and fell backward uncontrollably...
