Chapter 233 - 211: Call Me Husband and I’ll Let You Go
Gu Qimiao smiled sheepishly and then answered the phone, asking softly, "What’s up?""How much longer?"
Gu Qimiao sighed, "I’m not there yet! I’ll come find you when I’m done."
"Hurry up!"
"Okay..."
Seeing her hang up, Fang Shaobei laughed and said, "So you’re that easy to tease?"
"Not really..."
The car stopped at the gallery entrance, Fang Shaobei unbuckled his seatbelt while saying to her, "You need to establish your status now, otherwise in the future, you’ll be completely controlled at home."
Gu Qimiao chuckled lightly, "It’s okay, it saves me some worries."
Fang Shaobei shook his head slightly, knowing that she had been thoroughly influenced by Shen Yanchen.
He briefly explained the gallery matters to her, now she was somewhat a mini boss.
Gu Qimiao listened attentively, feeling a bit sentimental. Having been with Fang Shaobei for so many years, the sudden separation felt like losing something.
He had a lot to handle before leaving, there was no time in the afternoon for heart-to-heart talks or chatting. After instructing her on the matters, he took her to Shen Yanchen’s company.
"Mr. Fang... What time is your flight tomorrow? I’ll see you off."
"No need, it doesn’t matter if you see me off or not. Just take good care of yourself here. If anything comes up, you can call me. It’s a pity I couldn’t attend your wedding back then. I’ll send a red envelope when you have a baby."
On the topic of having a baby, Gu Qimiao’s smile turned shy and happy, she looked at him and insisted, "What time is your flight? You don’t know how long it’ll be before we meet again after you leave. I must see you off."
Fang Shaobei looked at her, paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow morning at nine." With that, he opened the car door, "Go up, I’m leaving."
Gu Qimiao nodded, watched his car leave, then turned to enter the Sheng Han Building.
Excitedly, she ran to the top floor, didn’t knock, gently pushed his office door open a crack, then poked half her head in.
With a glance, she met his cold gaze, instantly smiling flatteringly, then pushed the door open fully, and walked towards him with small steps.
Shen Yanchen stopped working, his gaze followed her, watching her walk over cheerfully to his side.
"Brother Yan Chen..." She stood opposite his desk, calling him.
Shen Yanchen pointed his chin towards himself, signaling her to come over, while asking, "What were you talking about for so long? So many topics with him?"
Gu Qimiao walked towards him, answering, "We weren’t talking about much, just gallery stuff. Once finished, I came here immediately."
Before she reached his side, his hand stretched over, grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, his arms wrapped around her waist, ignoring her blushing face, his head tilted down to her ear, deeply sniffing.
It tickled, Gu Qimiao shrank her neck trying to evade, but Shen Yanchen grabbed her jaw with his tiger mouth, not letting her escape.
"I’ve told you earlier, it’s time to change how you address me."
"Hmm?" Gu Qimiao grasped his hand, puzzled.
Shen Yanchen pulled her closer into his embrace, held her soft, small hand firmly in his big palm, guiding her, "Call me husband."
Only then did she understand his earlier words, opening her mouth feeling awkward. She had always called him Brother Yan Chen, changing that felt uncomfortable.
"Hmm? Hurry up, call."
"I... can’t say it... I’ll call you Da Chen from now on, your family all calls you that."
Shen Yanchen: "..."
"By the way," she turned her face to look at him, "I might have to go back to Shangcheng later, Mo Ming is still in the hospital..."
She left him abruptly last night, felt guilty. Now that her matters were settled, she could take care of him at the hospital with peace of mind.
"What does he being in the hospital have to do with you? You’re my wife now, you think I’ll let you go take care of another man day and night?"
Gu Qimiao guessed he had some bias against Gu Moming. She smiled trying to placate Shen Yanchen, "I know you’re generous, he’s still sick and he’s my brother."
"What brother? Without blood relation, he’s just a dangerous man. I wanted to discipline you earlier."
Seeing his sudden reprimand, Gu Qimiao didn’t dare to speak hastily.
Shen Yanchen looked down at her troubled expression, knew she couldn’t let go of Gu Moming now, tightened his grip on her and said, "Call me husband, and I’ll let you go."
Gu Qimiao’s face stayed red, her eyes didn’t dare meet his, muttering, "...husband."
"What? Didn’t hear you clearly."
Gu Qimiao stepped away from him defiantly, standing in front of him, "I don’t care, I called anyway."
Shen Yanchen looked at her, thinking there’s plenty of time to straighten her out.
"Wait next door for a while, once I finish this work, I’ll go with you."
"Go together? No need, you’re so busy, I can take a car myself. I’ll come back once he’s discharged."
Shen Yanchen immediately said, "You want to stay there until he gets discharged?! You want your husband to be alone for another man and feel it’s right?"
Gu Qimiao was startled. It seemed reasonable and logical, but why did he make it sound so serious, and she couldn’t rebut.
"Wait aside, now you must listen to me." He finished, picked up the pen and continued annotating the file, Gu Qimiao didn’t want to disturb him further, entered her studio.
After six in the evening, he finished his work, they went out for dinner together, then headed to Gu Moming’s hospital.
In the ward, Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Gu were present.
Mrs. Gu had the servant make some soup, but Gu Moming refused to drink or talk to anyone.
"Son, are you not feeling well? Tell mom, mom will find a doctor."
Gu Moming glanced around the room, then said to the silent Xiaoxiao, "Give me your phone!"
Xiaoxiao hesitated, completely didn’t expect him to talk to her.
After Gu Qimiao left, she stayed at the hospital. He didn’t talk to her but didn’t ask her to leave either, which made her quite happy.
Now he asked for something, she immediately handed over her phone without thinking.
Gu Moming opened the contact list, in the call logs he found "Gigi", dialed without a word.
The phone barely connected, didn’t wait for the person on the other side to answer, the familiar ringtone sounded outside the door.
Everyone looked towards the door, seeing Shen Yanchen lead Gu Qimiao inside.
Gu Qimiao was searching for her phone in her bag, Gu Moming glared at Shen Yanchen, then hung up the call and returned the phone to Xiaoxiao.
The atmosphere in the ward froze for a few seconds, Gu Qimiao looked at the missed call on her phone, looked around, puzzled, walked to Xiaoxiao’s side, and asked softly, "What’s wrong?"
