Yi Xuan moved out and dared not contact Qi Ran anymore. Aside from fearing that his parents would never forgive him if he did, he knew deep down that, given how things had escalated, Qi Ran would not bother with him anymore.
Since he could no longer study abroad, Yi Xuan decided to return to his school and attend classes. Living alone, he felt a bit lonely, so he spent most of his time studying at home.
During this time back at school, Gu Heng never initiated a conversation with Yi Xuan. Every time Yi Xuan saw him, Gu Heng would be staring at his phone as if nothing else existed in his world. This left Yi Xuan feeling puzzled and somewhat uncomfortable.
Previously, Yi Xuan had already confirmed to himself that he did not have romantic feelings for Gu Heng. However, since returning to the country, Gu Heng had not sought him out even once. While this did not make him deeply sad, it left him feeling a bit unsettled. After all, they had grown up together, and apart from his family, Gu Heng was the person who cared about him the most. Even if their engagement had been called off, did Gu Heng have to ignore him like this? When they first broke off the engagement, Gu Heng had been so reluctant, saying he was determined to marry him someday. Could he have changed his mind so quickly? What could be on Gu Heng’s phone that made him so obsessed?
Yi Xuan sat in the living room, zoning out while waiting for class to start. When he lifted his head, he saw Yi Wei walk in from the main door, followed by a group of people.
Gu Chang walked beside Yi Wei, holding a tablet as they finalized the recommendation list. After Yi Wei and Gu Chang sat down, Gu Chang took several documents from his assistant and explained them to Yi Wei before having him sign them. The signed documents were quickly taken away by others to be processed.
Gu Chang wasn’t attending class that day; he had come specifically to finalize work with Yi Wei. Once they finished, he left for his office.
Yi Wei sat alone, waiting for class to begin. People came up to greet him one after another. Yi Wei nodded politely at each of them and then continued looking at his tablet. Although he had been very busy lately, he ensured his studies were not neglected. No matter how exhausting, he completed everything he needed to do.
Yi Xuan watched as the children of the Yi family entered, greeted Yi Wei briefly, and then headed straight to their classrooms. Ever since he moved out of the Yi family’s home and returned to school, none of the Yi family’s children had greeted him.
Yi Xuan sighed inwardly at the fickleness of human relationships. He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. Back when he lived with the Yi family, the relatives had flattered him endlessly. Now, just because he had temporarily moved out, they acted as though he didn’t exist. People truly are pragmatic.
Looking at Yi Wei, who had once been overlooked in the Yi family but now, after marrying Gu Yue Shan, was someone everyone wanted to curry favor with, Yi Xuan couldn’t help feeling envious and bitter. He tried to suppress these feelings, but his heart ached, and he felt like crying.
When Yi Wei’s class time arrived, he got up and headed to the lecture room. At the same time, Yi Xuan saw Gu Heng walk in, still glued to his phone and not noticing Yi Xuan at all.
After Gu Heng sat down, Yi Xuan could no longer hold back. He stood up and walked toward him.
“Gu Heng,” Yi Xuan called out, standing in front of him.
Gu Heng looked up and, after a moment of surprise, asked, “What’s up?”
Those three words hit Yi Xuan like a heavy blow, making him pause for a moment. Suppressing the dull ache in his heart, he said, “Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner. I want to talk to you.”
Gu Heng hesitated, glanced at his phone again, and replied, “Alright, after class. Wait for me here, or I’ll wait for you.”
Yi Xuan nodded and turned to go to class.
After class, Gu Heng drove Yi Xuan to a restaurant for dinner.
Gu Heng thought Yi Xuan had something to tell him, while Yi Xuan assumed Gu Heng would have something to say. As a result, neither spoke for a while, and Gu Heng occasionally checked his phone.
“Are you waiting for a call?” Yi Xuan finally asked, unable to hide his curiosity. “Why have you been staring at your phone every time I see you lately?”
“…” Gu Heng was silent for a moment before answering, “I have some important matters to handle and am waiting for news.”
Yi Xuan nodded and forced a smile. “That’s great. If it’s important, focus on it and don’t disappoint your grandmother anymore.”
Seeing Yi Xuan’s off mood, Gu Heng finally asked, “How have you been?”
Yi Xuan, desperate to vent, poured out everything that had happened to him recently. Gu Heng tried to listen seriously but kept glancing at his phone.
As Yi Xuan spoke, he began to cry, overwhelmed by his emotions. Gu Heng, seeing this, felt a pang of guilt and tried to comfort him.
Suddenly, Gu Heng’s phone lit up and chimed with a notification. He froze for a moment, then quickly checked it and said, “Sorry, I need to take care of something. Let’s talk next time.”
With that, Gu Heng left in a hurry. Yi Xuan sat in a daze for a while before covering his face and crying. After crying, he paid the bill and left in a daze. Just before Gu Heng left, Yi Xuan had glimpsed the upside-down characters for “Mi Wei” on his phone screen, but his mind was too foggy to think it through.
—
Sun Qi’s twin babies have already been born, and Yi Wei has gone to see them. Since the babies were just born, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to visit too frequently, so he waited until the babies were a month old before he started visiting the Wei family often to see Sun Qi and the children.
Yi Wei sat by the bed holding Gu Yao, then said to him, “Baby, look at your little brothers, aren’t they so cute? From now on, you’ll have playmates to grow up with. Are you happy?”
Sun Qi, who had just come out of the bathroom, also sat by the bed and held Gu Yao’s chubby little hand, saying, “You’ll all be good friends in the future, okay?”
Yi Wei handed Gu Yao to Sun Qi, then picked up the second of the twins and said, “How can there be such adorable babies? Come home with Uncle, okay? Be Uncle’s baby, alright?”
“Take them both if you want. They cry so much, but Yao Yao is the best,” Sun Qi said, lifting Gu Yao up high. This was Gu Yao’s favorite game now, and he always laughed happily whenever they played it.
Yi Wei put the second twin down and gently picked up the firstborn, saying, “Beautiful firstborn, do you remember Uncle?”
Before the babies were born, Sun Qi’s biggest worry was that the twins would look too much alike, and he wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. But now, it seemed his worry was unnecessary. Although they were twins, the two babies looked quite different. The firstborn had a lovely heart-shaped face, and though his features hadn’t fully developed yet, you could already see a hint of handsomeness. The second twin, on the other hand, had a round, chubby face, so adorable it could melt anyone’s heart.
Yi Wei and Sun Qi placed the three babies on the bed and sat by the edge, chatting while watching the children. Gu Yao could already crawl and sit up, so Sun Qi brought out some toys for him to play with.
“Has Yi Bo been acting strange lately?” Sun Qi asked.
“Not really. The information he’s been giving me seems to be genuine. He hasn’t altered or falsified any of the details before telling me,” Yi Wei said. “But I don’t think he’s getting his information from Gu Heng.”
“Then who do you think he’s getting it from?” Sun Qi asked curiously.
Yi Wei shook his head. “It’s hard to say right now. Besides Gu Heng and his grandmother, his grandfather and his grandmother’s family probably know about these things too. There could be others as well, so it’s difficult to guess.”
After playing with his toys for a while, Gu Yao tossed them aside and crawled over to the two babies. At first, Yi Wei didn’t pay much attention when he saw Gu Yao leaning close to the babies, thinking he just wanted to kiss them. After all, at home, he and Gu Yueshan often kissed Gu Yao, and he had learned to kiss them back.
But when Yi Wei saw Gu Yao open his mouth and try to bite the chubby little face of the second twin, he was startled. Since Gu Yao had already started teething, Yi Wei immediately picked him up, frowning and scolding, “How can you bite your little brother’s face? Daddy is going to get angry.”
Sun Qi couldn’t help but laugh. “Is Yao Yao hungry? His little brother’s face looks too much like a meat bun.”
To be honest, even Sun Qi sometimes felt the urge to take a little bite of his younger son’s chubby cheeks.
“You can’t do that again, understand? Biting is wrong, whether it’s your little brother or anyone else. You mustn’t bite,” Yi Wei scolded his son while holding him in his arms. Although he knew Gu Yao couldn’t understand, children could instinctively sense their parents’ emotions. Even if he didn’t understand the words, he needed to feel that his actions were wrong.
Gu Yao, sensing Yi Wei’s displeasure, bit his own finger, looking pitiful.
“If you don’t do it again, you’ll still be a good boy, okay?” Yi Wei took his finger out of his mouth, replaced it with a pacifier, and then gently kissed his forehead before patting his back.
“Alright, don’t scold him too much,” Sun Qi said. “He didn’t actually bite hard. Look, the second twin didn’t even make a sound. That little one is usually so fussy and cries at the drop of a hat.”
Yi Wei carefully examined the second twin’s face. There were no bite marks or redness—just the same soft, chubby, milky-white cheeks. Only then did he feel relieved.
After having lunch at the Wei family’s home, Yi Wei took his son and went to the company to find Gu Yueshan.
