I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

"Qin Feng..."

Jiang Xuxu sobbed uncontrollably, her whole body trembling. "I dreamt of Jing Shen. He said he would never come back... Is it true?"

Qin Feng reached out his hand with heartache, then withdrew it, his eyes also reddening.

"Madam, Mr. Gu... will come back."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuxu looked up at him, her eyes full of anticipation.

"You can contact him, right? Tell me where he is?"

Qin Feng looked troubled and remained silent.

In fact, Gu Jingshen was not on a business trip to Southeast Asia at all, but went abroad for medical treatment.

His eyes have gone blind again.

But he didn't want Jiang Xuxu to worry, so he lied and said he was on a business trip.

"Mr. Gu did call a few days ago, telling me to take good care of you and that he would be back soon, but recently..."

Qin Feng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What's wrong with you lately?" Jiang Xuxu asked.

The recent turmoil in Southeast Asia, with its spread of conflict, has resulted in the permanent loss of many overseas Chinese to the region.

Jiang Xuxu had seen this news in the past two days, which is why she was even more worried about Gu Jingshen's safety.

"We have already contacted the embassy urgently, and we will notify you as soon as we have any news about Mr. Gu."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he left.

Jiang Xuxu looked at the last message Gu Jingshen sent her on her phone and silently shed tears.

"Take good care of yourself, I'll be back in two months."

"Take good care of our baby, and wait for me to come back."

"There was an artillery barrage near our company today, and we were almost hit."

……

The last message was sent two months ago: "All is well, don't worry."

She had never felt so fearful, anxious, and restless.

Before we knew it, the year was drawing to a close, and there was still no news of Gu Jingshen.

Qin Feng said he would be back soon.

Jiang Xuxu decided to go back to her parents' home for the Chinese New Year. As soon as she got off the plane, Jiang Rusheng was waiting for her at the exit.

"Sis! I'm here."

Liang Yuan, heavily pregnant, held up a sign welcoming her home.

Jiang Xuxu's eyes stung, and tears welled up instantly.

The last time she was in a similar situation, Gu Jingshen was by her side.

Now only she has returned.

"Sister, watch out for the steps." Jiang Rusheng quickly stepped forward to help her.

Liang Yuan smiled and took the suitcase from her hand, and the three of them walked home together.

Since Liang Yuan was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Rusheng has resigned from the job that Gu Jingshen of Beicheng arranged for him.

I'm going home to take good care of my wife.

My parents weren't used to life in the big city either, so they moved back here too.

The family gathered together happily for dinner, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

Jiang Xuxu started crying while she was eating.

Xu Jiahui quickly stood up to comfort her: "Xuxu, don't cry, Mom and Dad are here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuxu threw herself into her mother's arms and cried even louder.

"mom……"

Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Xuxu with heartache, feeling a pang of guilt.

After dinner, Xu Jiahui brought a pillow, wanting to sleep with Jiang Xuxu.

She didn't refuse.

The mother and daughter lay in bed chatting, reminiscing about many funny things from the past.

Jiang Xuxu suddenly spoke up, "Mom, I seem to be remembering a lot of things from the past lately."

Xu Jiahui was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's great! What did you remember?"

Jiang Xuxu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It reminds me of Gu Jingshen."

"Mom, do you remember the time I had that accident? I remembered it just the other day..."

She said she remembered that she was pushed off a cliff by some naughty kids from another village while trying to save a little boy who had fallen into the water.

In fact, she had known Gu Jingshen since she was nine years old.

He looked so cool with a bandage over his eyes back then!

As a result, he was teased by other children and pushed into the water, almost drowning.

The next day, she asked Jiang Rusheng to take her to the reservoir.

Gu Jingshen brought her here twice and even tested her memory.

Unfortunately, she didn't remember anything at the time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but smile. Gu Jingshen must have been very disappointed back then!

She was still naively convinced that he had someone else in his heart.

"Gu! Jing! Shen... I'm back!"

Jiang Xuxu stood in the pavilion and shouted loudly, but received no response.

"How are you? I miss you so much..."

She crouched on the ground, murmuring softly, tears streaming down her cheeks, her heart aching so much she felt like she was suffocating.

Seeing this, Jiang Rusheng quickly went over and helped her up. "Sister, are you alright? It's too windy, let's go back."

Jiang Xuxu stayed at home until early spring.

Although I didn't receive a call from Gu Jingshen, I did receive her New Year's greetings.

In short: Xuxu, Happy New Year.

That was enough to stir her emotions. She dialed back, but the phone went from being unreachable to going unanswered.

So, he just hasn't received a call yet, not that he's lost contact.

Jiang Xuxu counted the time difference, and as dawn broke on the other side of the world, she couldn't wait to dial his number.

"Hey, Xuxu?"

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice on the phone, Jiang Xuxu's eyes stung, and tears suddenly streamed down her face.

He choked up and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"Xuxu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? My signal is bad here, I'll call you later."

beep...

"Feed..."

Jiang Xuxu spoke in a trembling voice, but the other end of the phone had already hung up.

Finally, after three months, she heard Gu Jingshen's voice.

Seeing her so upset, Xu Jiahui felt heartbroken.

She gently walked over and hugged her daughter, patting her back to comfort her: "My dear daughter, don't be sad. Jing Shen will come back; he's just busy."

"Yes." She understood.

She was just too familiar with Gu Jingshen's gentleness and meticulous care, so much so that she would worry if she couldn't contact him for a few months.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

A few days later, Jiang Xuxu planned to return to Beicheng. She hoped that Gu Jingshen would see her as soon as he came back!

Before leaving, her mother asked her to deliver a gift to the Gu family.

"I heard that Gu Zeyu's mother is seriously ill and not long for this world. Jing Shen isn't home, so you should go and see her."

Jiang Xuxu nodded.

Gu Lanxin is Gu Jingshen's aunt, so it's only right and proper for her to pay New Year's greetings on his behalf before leaving.

At noon, Jiang Xuxu, carrying gifts, arrived at the Gu family's old residence under the guidance of Jiangsu Province.

"Sis, do you want me to come in with you?"

Jiangsu Province is still somewhat worried, after all, she almost became the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and now she is pregnant.

Jiang Xuxu shook her head. "It's okay, I can handle it."

He turned around and knocked on the door, and the same butler opened it again.

Jiang Xuxu greeted him with a smile, and then explained her purpose.

The Gu family's business was booming a few years ago, reaching its peak, but now that Gu Lanxin's health has deteriorated, the family business has declined significantly.

Upon seeing Jiang Xuxu, Gu Zeyu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stood up to greet her, "Sister Xuxu, you're here?"

Unlike last time, Gu Zeyu seemed to be in much better spirits today.

"Mom, my sister-in-law is here," Gu Zeyu said, changing his address.

Gu Lanxin struggled to sit up and said weakly, "Xuxu, you're here?"

She looked around, searching for Gu Jingshen.

"Where's Jing Shen? Why didn't he come with you?"

Upon hearing Gu Jingshen's name, Jiang Xuxu's eyes couldn't help but redden.

"Auntie, Jing Shen... is on a business trip to an overseas branch and hasn't come back yet."

"Business trip abroad?"

Gu Lanxin frowned, confused, and said, "His family doesn't have any branches overseas, but his father does have a home abroad."

"What did you say?" Jiang Xuxu's pupils dilated in surprise.
