Chapter 1124 - Hoped That Time Would Stop at This Very Moment
With this unknown number calling, Gu Qingcheng couldn’t help feeling displeased.
Seeing that the other party wasn’t hanging up, Gu Qingcheng was afraid it would interrupt Yun Liuli’s rest, so he answered it and placed it next to his ear…
Gu Qingcheng didn’t make a sound, and neither did the other party.
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes narrowed. He shifted the phone away from his ear and glanced at the number. That person then hung up.
The call came and ended in a oddly. Gu Qingcheng had initially wanted to set the phone down, but after he thought about it, he called his assistant to get him to check on the number…
After the call ended, Auntie Li came down with breakfast. Auntie Li had prepared the breakfast upstairs, being careful not to disturb Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng’s rest.
She hadn’t expected to see both Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng up already when she came out of the elevator. She quickened her steps. “Why didn’t Sir and Xiao Liuli call me when you woke up? I could have woken up earlier to make breakfast!”
“Shh…” Gu Qingcheng made a gesture at Auntie Li, indicating that Yun Liuli had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Auntie Li nodded. She placed Gu Qingcheng’s breakfast on the dining room table, then helped Gu Qingcheng brew coffee as usual before going back upstairs!
Originally, Auntie Li had wanted to clean up the place, but with Yun Liuli sleeping on the sofa, it was more important for her to be able to rest well in order to recuperate.
Auntie Li didn’t stay idle upstairs. She planned to brew soup for Yun Liuli in order to build up her constitution.
Gu Qingcheng finished his breakfast, then set aside his work, sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper while he accompanied the sleeping Yun Liuli…
The morning sun was glaring, so Gu Qingcheng drew the curtains to block out the light for Yun Liuli.
He watched Yun Liuli quietly just like that, feeling that he didn’t need to do anything… Just living with Yun Liuli like this, it was a calm and wonderful life that made him look forward to it.
The slightly chilly breeze seeped in through the window that wasn’t shut completely, curling up one corner of the curtain. The air was clean and carried the smell of sunshine.
Gu Qingcheng’s lips curled up. His vision fell upon the newspaper in his hands, his mood splendid. He even hoped that time would stop at this very moment.
But time never stopped for anyone. Yun Liuli still woke up eventually. With her sleepy eyes, she indistinctly saw Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting on the sofa, so she called out in a raspy voice, “Uncle Qingcheng….”
Gu Qingcheng responded, “Mm… are you hungry? Auntie Li put the breakfast in a pot to keep it warm. If you want to eat, I’ll get it for you!”
Yun Liuli nodded. “If I wasn’t hungry, I think I might have slept another three or four hours!”
Yun Liuli’s heart beat rapidly as she watched Gu Qingcheng’s back view as he entered the kitchen to prepare her breakfast…
Yun Liuli had been cautious and sensitive since she was young, and she was a light sleeper. When the phone rang today, Yun Liuli had woken up!
But she didn’t dare make a sound or wake up!
She had no idea if the call was from Zhou Yuchen or Guan Nina. Honestly speaking… Yun Liuli was terrified of letting the cat out of the bag.
But from Gu Qingcheng’s response and the way he asked his assistant to check on the number, it should be Zhou Yuchen!
Guan Nina had a loud and careless personality, so if she was the caller, she would have called to vent her grievances and would certainly have spoken first. Although Gu Qingcheng was cold, he would have said a word or two to Guan Nina, even if Yun Liuli was asleep…
But Zhou Yuchen was different. Zhou Yuchen tended to keep quiet and would only speak after Yun Liuli spoke first.
Yun Liuli was aware of the capability of Gu Qingcheng’s assistant. He would probably find out the number belonged to Zhou Yuchen very quickly. Yun Liuli quietly lifted the thin blanket off herself and went into the dining room with her phone.
“What delicious food has Auntie Li made today?” Yun Liuli glanced at the table. There was minced meat porridge, some side dishes, and also xiaolongbao.
Bai Jinyu had made it clear that Yun Liuli needed to eat light-flavored foods.
“Seems very delicious…” Yun Liuli sat down and poked one xiaolongbao with her chopsticks, then picked it up and took a bite. With her other hand, she swiped her phone and saw the call log.
Yun Liuli took a glance and paused. “Why is it this number again…”
Gu Qingcheng’s vision swept over Yun Liuli’s phone as he sat down quietly. He saw that Yun Liuli had tapped open the Tetris game and was starting to play. She didn’t look like she was going to elaborate.
“What do you mean by this number again?” Gu Qingcheng asked.
Yun Liuli looked up and took a bite of the xiaolongbao. “Previously, I saw two strings of numbers that seemed like phone numbers on a laptop. I wanted to call and see if it was Daddy and Mommy, but when I called, a young lady picked up the call. She was called… called Guan Nina! She claimed to be my classmate! When I dialed the second number, nobody answered. Later, when that person returned my call, they didn’t say anything. I said hello for a long time, but nobody answered me!”
Gu Qingcheng frowned. “Your classmate? What else did she say?”
“I couldn’t understand either. She said something about chasing after Zhou Yuchen. I then told her that perhaps I called the wrong number…” Yun Liuli stared at Gu Qingcheng with her clean and pretty eyes, looking so innocent that one couldn’t tell she was lying at all.
It was said that humans had limitless potential…
Unwilling for Gu Qingcheng to see through her lies, under her strong desire to obtain him, Yun Liuli had no choice but to fabricate another lie to hold up the lie about her getting amnesia.
Gu Qingcheng nodded. Just then, his assistant called!
What the assistant said matched Yun Liuli’s statement.
The assistant was efficient and comprehensive. He not only found Zhou Yuchen through the number that Gu Qingcheng gave, but he also retrieved Yun Liuli’s calling log. When he saw two calls in the log, he checked the other number as well. He said that the other number belonged to Guan Nina, Yun Liuli’s university classmate and roommate.
Just now, Yun Liuli had told Gu Qingcheng, so he wasn’t surprised. He merely thanked his assistant before hanging up the phone.
The assistant actually pondered a long time before deciding to tell Gu Qingcheng this…
The assistant had a suspicion all along that Yun Liuli might have recovered her memory already. He had no idea if his boss was aware!
Seeing Gu Qingcheng hang up, Yun Liuli looked up at him nervously. “Uncle Qingcheng… are you going out again?”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the expression of the young lady, who looked on guard, and revealed a gentle smile. “No. I’m keeping you company at home today!”
When Yun Liuli heard this, her lips curled up. “Uncle Qingcheng, you’re wonderful!”
“Mm!” Gu Qingcheng nodded. “Then, eat well and get well faster!”
“Okay!” Yun Liuli responded obediently.
Gu Qingcheng gazed at Yun Liuli as she ate and played games at the same time. His gaze was very deep, as if he was thinking about something.
