When Huo Cheng left Country G, worried about the safety of Gu Sisi and her family, he specifically told Chen Fang to move them all to Huo Mansion.
It was the first time for Gu's parents to come here. Their eyes were full of curiosity as they touched things here and there and looked around.
They murmured, "Our son - in - law is really promising."
"Yeah, look at this house with a back garden!"
Gu Sisi was holding a child in her arms. Fortunately, Chen Fang knew about it and told everyone in Huo Mansion to pay more attention.
Otherwise, seeing the young mistress they hadn't seen for a long time holding a child, these people might not have guessed that the young master already had a child.
"Madam, let me hold the baby," Sister Hu said softly to Gu Sisi, who was following her parents with the child in her arms.
Gu Sisi shook her head, motioned towards her parents' backs, and whispered, "You take them to visit. The baby is going to sleep. I'll put him/her to bed first."
Sister Hu nodded. "Yes, madam. Hurry up."
Looking at the still - thin figure of the young mistress, Sister Hu couldn't imagine how that child had been nurtured in such a slender body.
"What a tough time she's had," Sister Hu shook her head and sighed. Then she stepped forward and said to Gu's parents, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, please follow me to visit."
Since they entered the door and saw the grand reception of a group of people, Gu's parents thought it was too exaggerated. People even called them "Sir" and "Madam".
As ordinary people, they couldn't get used to such titles and directly refused, asking them not to call them like this. Who knew they would be called with even more senior - sounding titles.
But compared with the previous ones, it was a bit better.
The two looked at each other and thought that they probably couldn't decline anymore. Otherwise, they didn't know what other titles they would be called.
"Just let it be," Mr. Gu whispered to Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu had no choice but to nod.
They followed Sister Hu for a tour. Halfway through, someone specifically brought them stools, fruits, and tea.
This made them feel so uncomfortable that they felt extremely awkward.
It couldn't be blamed on Sister Hu for being so grand. It was mainly because it was the first time for the young master's in - laws to come. She thought she must leave a good impression on them.
Unexpectedly, things went wrong.
Looking at the sleeping face of the child, a faint sense of satisfaction flashed across Gu Sisi's face. Then she tiptoed out.
When she walked to the study, Chen Fang was already waiting inside.
"Madam," Chen Fang immediately stepped forward. Since he received the message from the young mistress asking him to wait in the room, he had been restless, wondering what the young mistress would ask him.
Was she asking about where the young master had gone?
He held his breath and prepared his answer.
He would say that the young master had gone to develop overseas markets. After all, the truth was quite close to that.
"Chen Fang."
The young mistress's voice rang out in front of him.
Chen Fang looked up. The young mistress was sitting in front of him, frowning.
"I need your help. Now Huo Cheng is busy, and I really can't find anyone else," Gu Sisi said.
Chen Fang took a deep breath, knowing that the young mistress was about to ask her question, and prepared himself mentally.
He said firmly, "Madam, please ask!"
His tone was as decisive as a soldier about to go to the battlefield.
Gu Sisi looked at him puzzledly but didn't pay much attention. "I've wasted too many days. I've hardly worked these days."
She looked out of the door, a calm smile appearing on her face. "Moreover, now that I have one of my children by my side, I want to protect them."
The stiffness on Chen Fang's face relaxed, and he was full of confusion, not knowing what was going on.
This seemed not what he had expected...
"Arrange a job for me in the company again. It doesn't matter if it's not the previous one. I want to work hard again," Gu Sisi said.
Chen Fang scratched his nose. "This..."
The young mistress hadn't even finished her postpartum confinement period. He really couldn't make the decision. If anything happened, the young master would never forgive him.
Seeing Chen Fang's embarrassed face, Gu Sisi sighed.
"Actually, I shouldn't have come to you. After all, finding a job should rely on oneself. But I can't go to work now. I have to wait until the baby's full - moon day. Then I'll go out," Gu Sisi shook her head and sighed. "I just feel so anxious at home now. I want to resume work as soon as possible. So I came to you to find a job that I can sometimes do at home."
"Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you if it's not possible," Gu Sisi shook her head, got up, and was about to leave.
It was Chen Fang, who knew the situation, who belatedly called out to Gu Sisi, "Madam!"
Gu Sisi turned around and looked at him indifferently. "Yes?"
"Sure! Why not!"
This was something that had no subsequent risks and the young master wouldn't blame him for. Why not do it?
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Gu Sisi's face. "Really?"
At this time, Chen Fang stepped closer and whispered a few words in Gu Sisi's ear.
"Don't tell Mr. Huo that I told you this. You can give it a try. When your body recovers and you're not satisfied with this job, you can change it," Chen Fang's words rang in Gu Sisi's ear.
It turned out that Chen Fang's suggestion was for her to go back to work in the original company. As for the few words Chen Fang whispered, they were really a secret.
Gu Sisi sighed. Well, this was her last chance. It was important to strengthen her strength now. She didn't need to care about so many things.
During this period, with the help of her parents and Sister Hu, Gu Sisi was very relaxed and had a lot of time to do her own things.
As time went by, Gu's parents no longer had the same impression as before.
Everyone got along harmoniously every day, basically focusing on the baby.
When the baby laughed, they all laughed heartily.
At that time, Gu Sisi was still staying up late to work in the study. She was a bit out of touch with the previous easy - going job, so she had to spend more time getting used to it.
Until she completed the task, she breathed a sigh of relief and left the study. It was already late at night.
Gu Sisi didn't see the baby in the living room. She looked around but couldn't find it either.
She asked Mr. Gu and learned that Mrs. Gu was taking care of the baby.
She simply pushed open the door and wanted to use her phone to contact her mother.
As a result, she saw Mrs. Gu half - lying in bed, and the baby was already sound asleep.
She breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and said softly to Mrs. Gu, "Mom, it's too late now. Go and rest."
Mrs. Gu got up carefully from the bed, afraid of waking up the baby who had just fallen asleep.
Both of them stared closely at the baby.
At this time, Mrs. Gu took Gu Sisi's hand and walked towards the door.
Gu Sisi was full of confusion but didn't ask. She just followed her mother.
When they came outside, they gently closed the door.
Only then did Gu Sisi speak. "What's up, Mom?"
Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Sisi, her eyes full of pity. "You just finished your work?"
Gu Sisi understood what her mother meant and quickly waved her hand, smiling gently. "Mom, I'm not tired."
"But I'm worried about you," Mrs. Gu frowned. "After Mom came here, I found that they treat you very well. We're relieved. But you're still in the period of recuperating your body. Why do you push yourself so hard?"
It seemed that this was what both her father and mother meant, but she really couldn't relax now.
She covered her mother's hand. "Because I want to become stronger! I can't just rely on Huo Cheng. If one day, at a critical moment, I become a burden and cause the people I love to get hurt, I'll hate myself even more."
Her voice gradually softened. "Moreover, I can't just ignore the other child."
Mrs. Gu hugged Gu Sisi tightly, full of pity. "I knew you couldn't let go of the other child."
