Chapter 10: Father and Son Compete for Favor

At this moment, at the entrance of the Second City Hospital, Su Youyou, without an umbrella or a coat, could only stay in the lobby of the hospital, not daring to step out into the storm. The sudden heavy rain meant everyone was preoccupied with themselves, leaving Su Youyou to wait for Su Heyi.

But after waiting for a long time, Su Youyou's phone was almost out of battery, yet there was still no sign of Su Heyi.

"Where did that fool go! She can't even find her way after just a few bus stops! She's really good for nothing!" Su Youyou was furious, but since Su Heyi didn't carry a phone, she couldn't get in touch with her.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Su Youyou guessed that Su Heyi definitely wouldn't come. She wondered if Su Heyi had intentionally not come. Thinking of this, Su Youyou decided that when she got back, she must teach her a lesson! With no one to pick her up and her parents still at work, Su Youyou had no choice but to dash into the rain. By the time she got home, she was completely drenched.

After searching the house and not finding Su Heyi, Su Youyou was puzzled when the home phone rang.

"Yoyo, this is Su Heyi. Have you gone home? I won't be coming home tonight. The principal's child is sick..."

"Who said you could not come back? Su Heyi, do you know how long I've been waiting for you at the hospital? Did you do this on purpose?!"

Su Youyou's impolitely questioning was met with silence, as the call had been hung up.

"Su Heyi! You're really going to rebel!" Su Youyou was extremely angry, but since Su Heyi wasn't there, there was nothing she could do.

Su Heyi, who had hung up the phone, looked at Gu Mo with difficulty: "Will she be angry?"

Gu Mo's expression was unusually gentle: "Don't worry, she won't be."

Besides, what if she is angry?

Su Heyi returned the phone to Gu Mo and continued to check on Gu Mengbao's condition.

The child lay in bed with flushed cheeks and a fever-reducing patch on his forehead, looking extremely pitiable.

Moreover, Gu Mengbao reached out and grabbed the corner of Su Heyi's clothes, showing a great deal of closeness to her.

Su Heyi couldn't bear to leave and could only follow Gu Mo's advice to call home.

At this moment, she didn't think about how she could so easily stay at someone else's house, never suspecting that they might harbor ill intentions towards her.

There are so many bad people, but Su Heyi never thought that Gu Mo and Gu Yan would be bad people.

In fact, Su Heyi wasn't very good at taking care of others. When she arrived at the Gu family mansion, Gu Mengbao seemed to have already been treated, and all she needed to do was sit by the bed and accompany him.

Gu Mo's gaze fell on Su Heyi, and his usually cold tone had a bit of warmth: "Wait for Gu Yan to rest, and I'll take you downstairs to eat something."

Gu Mengbao instinctively wanted to resist. He had finally tricked Su Heyi into coming to play with him, and now his father was about to take her away!

Gu Mo glanced at Gu Mengbao, signaling that there was plenty of time and no need to worry.

Gu Yan reluctantly let go.

Seeing Gu Yan with his eyes closed as if he was asleep, Su Heyi volunteered: "Mr. Gu, may I push you?"

"Okay." Gu Mo nodded slightly.

The Gu family mansion was a three-story building with an internal elevator, which conveniently allowed Gu Mo to move up and down in his wheelchair.

Su Heyi secretly looked at Gu Mo's legs, which were wrapped in his trousers and didn't look weak, but rather powerful. However, because he was sitting, no one could truly discover this hidden strength.

She really wanted to ask Gu Mo why he couldn't stand up. She understood a bit, like on TV, those in wheelchairs were due to car accidents or illness. She wanted to ask Gu Mo why he was in a wheelchair, but she felt that this question might not be appropriate to ask. After thinking for a long time, she decided not to say anything.

Gu Mo introduced the layout of the Gu family mansion to Su Heyi. In such a large house, basically, servants, housekeepers, bodyguards, and the like lived there. Under normal circumstances, only Gu Mengbao and Gu Mo, the father and son, lived here. But if Gu Mo didn't come back, then the only Gu family member in the house would be Gu Mengbao, making it seem very desolate and empty.

In fact, the Gu family was not sparse in population, but after Gu Mo took over the family, the rest of the Gu family wanted to stay away from Gu Mo, fearing that being too close would upset him. Moreover, Gu Mo's mood was unpredictable, and the Gu family members were quite afraid of him, so they all lived outside.

Su Heyi looked around the large house and whispered in Gu Mo's ear: "It's so——big here!"

Gu Mo's ears moved slightly due to the hot air from Su Heyi's breath.

A deep darkness appeared in his eyes, but his tone was still gentle: "Do you like it?"

Su Heyi thought seriously and then smiled: "I like it."

She just thought it was beautiful and therefore liked it.

But to Gu Mo, it naturally had some other implications.

"If you like it, live here," he suggested meaningfully, his tone enticing.

Unfortunately, Su Heyi wasn't that smart and didn't understand the meaning. She just said, "This is not my home, I can't live here."

Gu Mo didn't argue, but in his heart, he thought, it's not your home? Then in the future, make it your home...

He didn't reject the possessiveness that was growing in his heart. If it were another woman besides Su Heyi, Gu Mo would never allow himself to get so close, because emotions were unnecessary for him. But Su Heyi... she was a bit silly, but it just so happened that it could let Gu Mo have no worries. Such a little fool, as long as she could be petted like a pet, slowly let her depend on herself, then she would also be loyal.

Gu Mo was a person who would never accept betrayal, and those who dared to betray him would not end well. On the contrary, he would not easily trust others. He was highly vigilant and full of suspicion towards everything. No one could truly open his heart so far.

But if it were Su Heyi, Gu Mo suddenly had an unprecedented impulse. If it were Su Heyi, maybe it could be tried?

At dinner time, Gu Mengbao pretended to have a retreating fever and came down to eat. However, he naturally had to make good use of this opportunity to let Su Heyi take care of himself.

Although he felt that his cold father was obviously not very happy when he was acting cute.

But! He didn't care so much. He liked Su Heyi and inexplicably wanted to get close to her.

Su Heyi looked at Gu Yan's small face for a while and found that it was no longer flushed, then said, "It should be okay, right?"

Gu Yan mumbled: "But the doctor said that it might relapse, and it won't be known until tomorrow morning whether the fever has really subsided."

Su Heyi "Oh" a sound, picked up a piece of diced chicken in the bowl for him.

"This is delicious." She said with a curved mouth corner.

Gu Mo saw Su Heyi's action, squinted his eyes, and pushed his own bowl to her in front, the meaning was very obvious...
