"Are you here to talk to me about this?" Lan Baobao furrowed her brows in confusion, feeling that things were not that simple.
Gu Feng sighed, wondering if spending so much time together had made Lan Baobao smarter. "That's right, I'm not here for that matter. Ye Zixun came to see me today; he gave me something."
Ye Zixun?
Suddenly, Lan Baobao recalled the contract from yesterday, which she hadn't signed. Did he go to Gu Feng again, hoping Gu Feng would persuade her?
What benefit could this possibly bring Ye Zixun?
"Gu Feng, please don't try to convince me. I don't want that thing. He can handle the shares he bought himself; I don't want anything from him."
Gu Feng didn't explain immediately but placed the document in front of Lan Baobao. "Keep this contract for yourself. If you ever want the shares in the future, just call Ye Zixun. He will give you the shares whenever you want."
"Gu Feng, you really don't have to consider things from Ye Zixun's perspective like this; it makes me uncomfortable." Lan Baobao had always thought of Gu Feng as a very considerate friend.
"Just take care of yourself and stop making me worry, okay?" Gu Feng loved this woman deeply but felt unable to get close because of Ye Zixun. Who could understand this pain?
Lan Baobao's heart was in turmoil, like a bottle of mixed flavors spilled over.
She was still carrying Ye Zixun's child; even if she wanted to sever ties with him, it seemed impossible.
Lan Baobao knew that all she could do now was avoid the situation.
It was late at night, almost dawn. Lan Baobao turned off her phone and wandered aimlessly, not knowing where she could go.
The whole city seemed to be falling asleep, making it hard to catch a cab. Lan Baobao didn't plan on driving; she just wanted everyone to stop looking for her. She was tired—really tired. The last person she wanted to see right now was Ye Zixun. How could this guy treat his good friend like that? This was something Lan Baobao couldn't accept. Was Ye Zixun really such a cold-hearted person?
"Driver..." Seeing a yellow taxi almost pass by, Lan Baobao quickly waved her hand. It was quite cold outside; the season in this city still had a bit of chill, especially since Lan Baobao's heart felt icy at the moment.
"Where to?" The taxi driver's voice was hoarse.
Lan Baobao really didn't know where to go. At this time, it was impossible to look for Gu Feng. Moreover, this matter was something that could not be easily discussed with Mu Jiangfeng. This path was one she had chosen herself, and she had to grit her teeth and keep going. After all, the contract back then was not just Ye Zixun's decision; she had signed it too.
"Go..." Who doesn't have a place to go? Lan Baobao quickly reported her home address.
Fortunately, she still had a home. Thankfully, when she got married, she didn't foolishly sell her house; otherwise, in situations like this, when someone told her to get lost or when she didn't want to see someone, she would truly be homeless.
She wondered if Ye Zixun would come looking for her at home since she hadn't returned. Anyway, the house was always managed by Aunt Zhang, and Lan Baobao sometimes went back to check on things.
Lan Baobao thought about it and decided to call home to confirm. What if Ye Zixun was there?
Indeed, Aunt Zhang confirmed that Ye Zixun was indeed looking for her and had even gone to her house. There was no place that Ye Zixun didn't know about. Lan Baobao smiled bitterly; since he had been there, he surely wouldn't come back again.
"Sister?" Aunt Zhang heard the noise in the living room and hurried out to see. "Why are you back? Did he come again and argue?" Aunt Zhang was still very concerned about Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao said nothing, and Aunt Zhang felt awkward asking further.
Lan Baobao curled up on the sofa, hugging her legs, not even covering herself with a blanket. The entire living room was freezing cold; it felt like it could give someone a cold. Lan Baobao's eyes were red and swollen, devoid of any expression. This made Aunt Zhang a bit worried.
"Aunt Zhang." Seeing Aunt Zhang walk over, Lan Baobao glanced at her and then continued to lower her head.
"Sister, what's wrong? It's so cold; you should go back to your room," Aunt Zhang said as she tried to help Lan Baobao. She treated Lan Baobao like her own daughter.
However, Lan Baobao turned slightly and refused.
"Sister? What's wrong?" Zhang looked at Lan Baobao with concern.
"Aunt Zhang, could you help me tidy up my room? It must be a mess." Lan Baobao had made up her mind not to return; she intended to stay here for a while.
After thinking about it, Aunt Zhang decided to follow Lan Baobao's wishes. She first brought over a wool blanket for Lan Baobao. "Sister, please go back to your room; it's too cold here."
Lan Baobao glanced at the clock; it was almost four o'clock. Was she going to spend the whole night like this? Sadness and fatigue overwhelmed her. She really felt so tired.
Aunt Zhang finished tidying up and went to tell Lan Baobao. Lan Baobao stood up and slowly walked into the guest room. "Aunt Zhang, before six o'clock tonight, don't let anyone know I'm home, especially Ye Zixun. Please." Lan Baobao knew she needed to rest well, especially since she was pregnant.
Aunt Zhang certainly remembered Lan Baobao's words. In fact, Aunt Zhang could see that Lan Baobao must have had a fight with Ye Zixun, but she didn't want to pry too much; after all, she was just an outsider and couldn't get too involved.
Lan Baobao closed the door and pulled the curtains shut, making the entire room completely dark. She curled up on the bed, and the overwhelming fatigue soon took her into a deep sleep, where she dreamt of a child who was crying.
Eight o'clock.
Gu Feng happened to come looking for Lan Baobao. Of course, he was going to Ye Zixun's house. At this time, Ye Zixun had already gone to the company, leaving only Gu Feng to enjoy his leisure.
"Hey, Yuan, haven't seen Lan Baobao?" Gu Feng went to Lan Baobao's bedroom but found no one there. Normally, Lan Baobao would definitely be around. Even though the servant Yuan always prevented Gu Feng from going in, it wasn't easy to stop him since Gu Feng was the young master's best friend.
"Nope, the lady hasn't returned yet." Just then, the driver Zhang came over.
"The young master asked me to check if the lady has come back." It seemed Zhang was there to pick up Lan Baobao because she had a prenatal check-up that day.
"Ah? Where could she go? Could she have gone home?" Gu Feng couldn't figure out the reason behind it. The last time he saw Lan Baobao, he noticed that her mood wasn't good at all.
"Gu Feng, should we go to the lady's house?" This made Zhang a bit worried. The last time he dropped off Lan Baobao, he happened to know...
All the servants kept their mouths shut about it as if they had prepared in advance. This collective lie was simple and natural enough not to raise anyone's suspicion. Everyone clearly knew about the argument between Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao; even Mumu and Ruo Ruo didn't want to deal with Ye Zixun anymore, let alone Lan Baobao.
"Where could Lan Baobao go?" Just by looking at Gu Feng's expression, one could tell how worried he was. "Why don't we ask Ye Zixun? It might be related to him." Gu Feng quickly said goodbye to everyone and pulled Zhang out the door to find Ye Zixun.
"What?!" Ye Zixun pretended not to know anything; otherwise, this matter directly affected his company's reputation. In this city, rumors spread far faster than reality. Did people outside really think his wife had left home?
"Don't you know? She's your wife!" Gu Feng angrily grabbed Ye Zixun by his collar.
"Gu Feng!" Ye Zixun's assistant hurriedly stepped forward to pull Gu Feng away.
"I really don't know! Lan Baobao is indeed my wife; I can't watch her twenty-four hours a day!" Hearing that Lan Baobao was not at home made Ye Zixun a bit worried; he truly believed she had nowhere else to go. After all, he had searched for her for a long time last night, thinking she would come back when she got tired, but she didn't.
Since the last incident, Ye Zixun's defenses against Gu Feng have certainly not weakened; otherwise, why do the two of them seem to be competing to see who is better? But what use is that? Gu Feng is not even a competitor in Ye Zixun's heart. After all, Lan Baobao is now his wife, and she is also carrying his child.
"Anyway, you don't need to worry about Lan Baobao's safety," Ye Zixun said as he adjusted his collar and turned around. Honestly, why was Gu Feng so agitated? Ye Zixun somewhat understood that Gu Feng liked Lan Baobao and had always liked her; men are usually quite perceptive about such matters.
"You..." Gu Feng was even angrier upon hearing Ye Zixun's tone. "If it weren't for whatever happened with you, Lan Baobao wouldn't have left, right? Now I can't even reach her on the phone."
"Do you need to manage this? Gu Feng, can you please get this clear? Can you clarify your relationship with Lan Baobao?" Ye Zixun finally said this.
"I'd rather not waste any more time with him; I should just go find her myself," Gu Feng thought, unsure of what else he could do. Yes, what exactly was his relationship with Lan Baobao now?
In fact, Gu Feng really didn't know why he had always valued their friendship so much, yet it had turned into this situation. This was not what Gu Feng wanted. But loyalty ultimately cannot be served in two ways.
If he had never indulged himself, he would never have known that sometimes getting drunk could actually feel good. Lan Baobao sleeping at home smelled really nice. Without any disturbances from anyone, this kind of life was truly wonderful; it would be even better if it could last forever.
At six o'clock, Lan Baobao woke up right on time and suddenly thought of the word "pub." It was rare not to work and rare to be injured. Wasn't she always the one who got hurt?
Lan Baobao carefully groomed herself. Women dressed in LV or Prada seemed too worldly; Lan Baobao wanted to be a worldly woman for once. Even though she was pregnant now, so what? Her rounded belly did not diminish her charm. Opening her wardrobe, Lan Baobao picked out a black bodycon dress that was extremely short and chose a light purple silk camisole. The hem of the camisole was large enough to cover her rounded belly.
Lan Baobao selected a light purple Chanel clutch and also picked a pair of light purple ribboned crystal shoes. She looked truly beautiful in this outfit.
