Chapter 230: Peeking
Chapter 230: Peeking
After Ye Hao and Li Yifan parted ways, he went to the mall and bought quite a few things.He took the opportunity to knock on the door before Gu Yi finished class.
Gu’s father saw that he had brought another bunch of stuff.
"Why did you buy so much again? We haven’t finished what you bought last time. Yiyi asked me, and I said I bought them, but from her expression, she probably didn’t believe me. And here you go again."
Gu’s father was a bit troubled; he had promised Gu Yi back then.
As a father, he wasn’t supposed to interfere in matters between her and Ye Hao.
But what he was doing now was really contradicting that.
"Dad, I had some business in town today, and I don’t know when I’ll be back next time, so I thought I’d get it all now. It’s not a lot this time, just some food. Please eat some too. Thank you for taking care of Yiyi, and please take care of yourself as well."
Although what Ye Hao said didn’t sound unreasonable,
Gu’s father heard the underlying message.
This cheeky boy wants him to take care of himself too, to be in great shape and take better care of Gu Yi.
Alright, so taking care of my own daughter has become serving someone else.
Gu’s father couldn’t help but find it amusing.
"Dad, remember to eat. Yiyi’s about to finish class, so I’ll head out now."
Ye Hao checked the time and said quickly.
Ye Hao left Gu’s father and didn’t head back to the unit or go to Ye’s mother.
Instead, he ran to wait at the entrance of Gu Yi’s school.
As Gu Yi’s class was about to end, he moved a bit further away from the entrance.
Even though he really wanted to see Gu Yi, he was afraid she would be upset to see him.
He just wanted to sneak a glance from afar.
Before long, Gu Yi and Wang Yuan came out together.
How did it seem that Gu Yi’s belly had gotten bigger since he last saw her a few days ago?
Back when they didn’t have a baby, he always wanted to have one soon.
It felt like that was the only way Gu Yi truly belonged to him.
At the time, Gu Yi said she wanted to wait, and he wasn’t too happy about it.
Originally, he thought if Gu Yi had a baby, he would be by her side every day.
But now that Gu Yi is carrying their baby, he’s kept at a distance.
Thinking about it, Ye Hao couldn’t help but take a few steps forward.
Since Gu Yi was talking to Wang Yuan, her back was to Ye Hao.
And Wang Yuan’s face was facing Ye Hao’s direction.
She saw Ye Hao and quietly said to Gu Yi.
"Sister Yiyi, I see the commander, hiding over there."
Wang Yuan gestured with her eyes to indicate Ye Hao’s position.
Gu Yi instinctively wanted to look back, but halfway through, she restrained herself.
"Ignore him, let’s go."
Gu Yi smiled and said to Wang Yuan.
"Sister Yiyi, the commander looks quite pitiful."
Wang Yuan saw Ye Hao hiding to sneak a peek at Gu Yi.
It softened her heart a bit.
"Yes, he does look pitiful, so we should hurry off; it’s better if we don’t see him."
Gu Yi said and quickened her pace.
Although Ye Hao couldn’t hear what they were saying, he knew it was definitely about him.
Because Wang Yuan gave him a glance, and soon after, Gu Yi sped up.
Ye Hao looked at Gu Yi and wanted to stop her.
Shouldn’t expecting mothers walk slowly? How could she be walking so fast?
What if she falls or something? What would he do then?
Ye Hao hurried to catch up.
After all, since Gu Yi already knew he was there, he didn’t bother hiding.
"Sister Yiyi, the commander’s following us."
Wang Yuan glanced back and quickly informed Gu Yi.
"Let him follow. It’s a public path."
Gu Yi was also a bit annoyed, and after speaking, she slowed down her pace.
If you want to follow, then go ahead and follow properly.
Seeing Gu Yi slow down, Ye Hao quickly matched his pace.
Wang Yuan turned and happened to see Ye Hao’s expression, and burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?"
Gu Yi was a bit puzzled by Wang Yuan’s laughter.
"Sister Yiyi, you and the commander are just like children having a spat."
Gu Yi felt three black lines must be hanging over her head upon hearing that.
She was being serious, alright?
They reached the road leading into Wang Yuan’s community.
The two parted ways there.
Gu Yi acted as if Ye Hao didn’t exist and walked on ahead by herself.
Ye Hao thought since Gu Yi didn’t object, he would just follow along.
His eyes were fixed on Gu Yi, and gradually, he followed closer.
When Gu Yi reached the stairs of her building, Ye Hao wanted to go forward and support her.
At her doorstep, she opened the door with her keys and turned to look at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao quickly grinned at her.
"For a stalker, you’re a bit unqualified. At least you shouldn’t let me notice, should you? Besides, I don’t want to play cat and mouse with you. Save your words for other girls."
It turned out Ye Hao started writing letters to Gu Yi again after returning that night.
When Gu Yi received the letter, she wondered if this guy thought he could conquer everything with a single trick.
"Gu Yi, I love you. There will only be you in my life, no one else."
Ye Hao said seriously, looking into Gu Yi’s eyes.
While being alone in the unit, Ye Hao had thought a lot every day.
About him and Gu Yi.
He realized that Gu Yi’s lack of security was largely his responsibility.
He had always wanted to fulfill Gu Yi materially, so he worked hard to improve himself.
Even though they talked, sometimes he felt being together meant understanding each other.
Even if he didn’t say these things, Gu Yi should feel and believe them.
But after the hypnotism incident, Gu Yi’s reaction told him that besides actions, the words he kept inside,
He needed to say them out loud.
To plainly convey his true thoughts to the other person.
Gu Yi was about to say something, but after hearing him, she paused, then went inside, leaving Ye Hao locked outside the door.
"Did I just hear Ye Hao’s voice?"
Gu’s father pretended to come out from the kitchen just then.
Gu Yi had actually seen her dad in the kitchen, ears constantly tuned to the noise outside.
"Dad, did you go on another shopping spree?"
Gu Yi didn’t answer her dad but looked at the pile of stuff on the table and asked with a smile.
"Ah, oh, yes, yes! The mall had a sale, so I bought a bit more. Must be hungry, I’ll go fry some dishes."
Seeing Gu Yi asking about this, Gu’s father quickly found an excuse to slip away.
After the living room was left with just herself, Gu Yi’s smile faded.
She knew all these things were from Ye Hao.
Knowing her dad’s character, it would be normal for him to buy things for her, but he wouldn’t be willing to spend on himself.
The down jacket from last time and this time’s nutritional products.
After crying with Gu’s father last time, she felt she had released all her emotions.
She calmly reflected on all the moments she had spent with Ye Hao.
Though Yang Lin had caused trouble in between,
mostly, she was trying to live well with Ye Hao, carrying her previous lifetime’s unhappy memories.
Gu Yi felt like a tortoise at times.
Sporting a thick protective shell, which wore herself out and left others bewildered.
