The old lady of the Gu family is surnamed Zhou and given name is Yi.

In her early years, she was a gentle and generous lady, but now, she smashed her phone on the spot because of a call that could not be made.

"Gu Chengen! He's really grown wings!"

Qin Lu was standing aside, her expression dimmed a little, and she took back the old man's hand.

The voice was as cold as an orchid: "Since it is not convenient today, you should make an appointment with Brother Cheng to come again next time."

As she spoke, Qin Lu looked at Shen Kexin through the floor-to-ceiling window through an iron door.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and her eyes swept across the crib next to the sofa.

"I was indeed a bit abrupt today, I hope I don't scare anyone."

Zhou Yi knew that this girl was starting to put on airs, and he felt unhappy, but thinking of her background, he could only pretend that he knew nothing.

"also."

Zhou Yi suppressed the harshness on his face and patted the back of Qin Lu's hand twice.

"Don't think too much. You and Gu Chengen were engaged as children. That woman is at most a lover kept outside. She is not worthy of being seen in public."

But who doesn’t know about this in the circle?

It was the first time that Qin Lu heard about a "lover" who got married, kept the lover in a permanent residence, and was looked after by the most trusted person around him.

But she doesn't care about these, she just likes it for the time being. When it comes to interests, even her lover and children have to give way.

After watching the two people leave, Shen Kexin turned off her phone.

Gu Shen has been busy with work lately, leaving home early and coming back late. It's not worth disturbing him and distracting him for such a small matter.

"Aunt Liu, was Gu Chengen his former name?"

Liu Mei responded, a little embarrassed: "When Mr. Gu first came to the Gu family, the old man gave him a name."

"But after he left the Gu family, Mr. changed himself. If you want to know something, you can wait for Mr. to come back and ask him."

What follows is a more personal matter.

Even though Aunt Liu knew, she couldn't say anything about it.

Shen Kexin understood and comprehended it.

"I understand. Don't call him. It's not a big deal."

After saying that, Shen Kexin went upstairs back to her room.

Gu Shen, Gu Chengen...

Shen Kexin had no idea about the second name.

But this name doesn't have any good meaning.

Thank you for your kindness. What kind of kindness are you thanking?

Moreover, why did the Gu family suddenly show up?

Shen Kexin has no one to contact, and is like a lone boat in this circle.

Apart from those people in Linjiang Mansion and the company, she seemed to have never come into contact with anyone else.

Before, she was not feeling well because of her pregnancy, but now, it’s time for her to go out.

She can't always be isolated from the news. When others come to her, she won't know what happened.

This feeling of having no place to stay and being isolated is not pleasant at all.

When Gu Shen came back from get off work, he frowned when he didn't see Shen Kexin in the living room.

"She's not feeling well?"

In the past, Shen Kexin would wait downstairs for him to get off work every day.

As soon as he opened the door, a warm body rushed over and hugged him with Asaka.

There was no such grand welcome ceremony today, which made Gu Shen particularly uncomfortable.

But on the surface, he still appears to be indifferent.

Aunt Liu rocked the stroller, sighed, and looked at Gu Shen, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She couldn't help but remind him, "Sir, the old lady came here during the day, and she brought a girl with her."

"My wife didn't want to disturb you at work, so she didn't let me tell you. You can go up and take a look yourself."

Although the lady didn't say it explicitly, who can feel happy when encountering such a thing?

When he heard the old lady's name, Gu Shen thought of the phone call he received last night. He couldn't help but feel his heart sinking and his eyes were filled with hostility.

He pursed his lips and went upstairs without saying a word.

The room was brightly lit. Aunt Liu, who looked worried and concerned, was sitting on the bed, video chatting with Sun Yun on her cell phone.

Seeing Gu Shen push the door open, he nodded at him and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "This is our stop for today. You can go home first."

The video was hung up, and Gu Shen also walked to the bedside.

He stood there, still wearing a black coat, looking at Shen Kexin from top to bottom.

His aura is like the wind in midwinter, which feels bone-chillingly cold when it blows on people.

Shen Kexin wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, knowing that he was listening to what Aunt Liu said downstairs.

Shen Kexin raised her head: "Gu Chengen?"

Gu Shen's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and his deep and heavy eyes showed no emotion.

He responded, looking bitter and resentful.

Shen Kexin smiled and hooked Gu Shen's fingers which had not yet warmed up.

"I've never heard you say you have another name before. It's not nice. It's easier to call you Gu Shen."

Knowing that she was comforting herself, Gu Shen half-knelt down, took Shen Kexin's hand with a little force, and pulled her against him.

"Yeah, I think so too."

His chest rumbled as he spoke, and Shen Kexin put her ear to it, feeling unprecedented peace.

"Then can you tell me what a child marriage means?"

Shen Kexin lowered her head, looking like she was just asking casually.

Where skin touches skin, there is calm and relaxation, without any tension or worry.

Gu Shen simply narrated calmly: "It was just a verbal agreement between the two old men on the spur of the moment."

"And the one who was betrothed was not me, but the real heir of the Gu family who died young in the old lady's belly."

Gu Shen's answer was straightforward and clear enough, and Shen Kexin's last bit of uneasiness completely dissipated.

She wrapped her arms around Gu Shen's waist and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, I see."

Gu Shen was puzzled. He held Shen Kexin's shoulders and looked at her: "What do you know?"

Shen Kexin smiled, a familiar look in her eyes, and leaned over to kiss Gu Shen.

"I know that next time we meet, I won't have to pretend to be a grandson."

Shen Kexin was caught off guard today, and as she didn't know the situation, she stayed quietly in the house.

But she is no pushover.

Nor is she a little white flower who can be manipulated and slandered by anyone.

In her previous life, during the years when she fought with Gu Shen, although there was a suspicion that Gu Shen exaggerated Pingyang, she also experienced the chaos and intrigues of the business world.

She can even deal with some old guys who have been in the business world for many years, let alone these small problems at hand.

It was the first time that Gu Shen heard such words from Shen Kexin, and he felt a little surprised.

His fingers fiddled with the pink earlobe: "You weren't either."

"If they mess with you, I'll make them come to you and act like your real grandsons."

Shen Kexin laughed out loud, and was completely coaxed into submission by Gu Shen's few words.

She held the man's resolute face and rubbed it mercilessly.

"You are so domineering, Mr. Gu, but you are using your protectiveness in the wrong place. Your son is downstairs."

Gu Shen held Shen Kexin's wrist and kissed it.

But his eyes were fixed on her, and he corrected her seriously: "I'm not protecting my son, I'm protecting my wife."
