"Sister, bring me the EAL jeans so I can take a look." Gu Feng's handsome appearance completely captivated the salesgirl at the counter. Indeed, someone like Gu Feng brings spring wherever he goes.
Gu Feng knew what was going on with Lan Baobao. Lan Baobao even suddenly found herself liking this scent, even though she had never liked wearing perfume.
"Even if the outside world is so chaotic, I hope a corner of Lan Baobao's heart remains peaceful, like water that is gentle and adaptable, unperturbed by changes," Gu Feng said softly. This was exactly the meaning of the perfume; Gu Feng slowly stepped out. "Finding a refuge for the heart between contradiction and tranquility?" Gu Feng didn't know when he had become capable of such philosophical musings.
Lan Baobao gently inhaled the perfume and looked up at Gu Feng, understanding his intentions. He simply hoped she could find some inner peace.
"Sister, I want this one," Lan Baobao turned to the salesgirl. This was the one Gu Feng had chosen for her, and there was no reason to refuse it. Gu Feng watched Lan Baobao with a smile on his face, feeling warm inside. It seemed that Lan Baobao was in a good state today.
"Lan Baobao!" It was Li Xiaoran's voice. Li Xiaoran hadn't come to see Gu Feng yesterday; perhaps it really was a bit late.
"Li Xiaoran!" Lan Baobao turned around; it was indeed her.
"What are you doing here? What happened to Gu Feng's hand?" Li Xiaoran felt sad seeing Gu Feng injured, knowing that he was quite capable. Yet he still got hurt. "Quickly tell me what happened." It seemed Li Xiaoran really wanted to know.
Gu Feng could only shake his head.
"It's nothing, I encountered a thug yesterday, and Gu Feng got hurt while trying to save me..." Lan Baobao trailed off, and Li Xiaoran understood; Gu Feng had always been devoted to Lan Baobao.
"Alright, stop standing around talking. Let's find somewhere to sit down." Gu Feng was actually worried about tiring out Lan Baobao's unborn child, even though this child wasn't his own.
After chatting for a while, Gu Feng decided to take Lan Baobao home, and Li Xiaoran didn't stop them.
If Gu Feng hadn't taken Lan Baobao home, and if Ye Zixun were at home right now, perhaps the misunderstandings that followed wouldn't have escalated so much.
Ye Zixun called Lan Baobao, but her phone was still off. Ye Zixun had nothing else on his mind; he wanted to go home. Since coming to the company in the morning until now, Ye Zixun had been worried. The thought of Lan Baobao being with Gu Feng made him uncomfortable; thinking about her spending the night at another man's place made him even more uneasy. Ye Zixun drove quickly, disregarding everything else; he just wanted to see Lan Baobao.
Gu Feng and Lan Baobao had already arrived at Ye Zixun's house. "Gu Feng, do you still need to go back to the hospital for rehabilitation?" Lan Baobao had been thinking about Gu Feng all this time.
"How could it be that heavy, Lan Baobao? I'm already very happy that you care about me. As long as you're fine, that's enough." Gu Feng's words always made people feel the warmth of spring. And it was hard to believe that the once domineering Gu Feng had become so gentle.
"You know, Gu Feng, at first Ye Zixun didn't live here; he was over at Shallow Bay. The scenery there is really beautiful. I don't understand how a big man could choose such a lovely place. You know, Ye Zixun is just as picky as you are." Lan Baobao unknowingly started talking about Ye Zixun again.
"You haven't told me about the previous Ye Zixun," Gu Feng said while sitting on the sofa, suddenly interested in Ye Zixun. He wanted to see what kind of place Ye Zixun held in Lan Baobao's heart.
"Do you want to hear about my first visit to Ye Zixun's house?" Lan Baobao thought that Ye Zixun wouldn't be back so soon, so it was fine to chat with Gu Feng for a while to avoid boredom. At that moment, Grandpa Ye had taken Mumu and Ruo Ruo out for a trip, leaving the house empty.
"Sure, Lan Baobao, I'm actually quite curious," Gu Feng smiled, his eyes sparkling like they held an entire galaxy. He wanted to know what position Ye Zixun occupied in Lan Baobao's heart.
"I remember his house was particularly tall. I even asked him if he had acrophobia," said Lan Baobao, laughing as if recalling that happy scene from back then. "And you wouldn't believe it; Ye Zixun's home was decorated quite exquisitely. Almost all the furniture was silver-white, just like you, with serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. I even wondered," when visiting Gu Feng's home, she noticed that everything he used was also the same color. Didn't he fear visual fatigue?
"That's just a man's habit; it's not like girls who like colorful things—it's too flamboyant," Gu Feng glanced at Lan Baobao disdainfully, as if questioning what was wrong with having the same color.
"You know, there's something really strange: Ye Zixun actually used lace curtains. Isn't that funny?" Lan Baobao seemed to forget that she had returned to a place she didn't want to come back to. Only someone gay would like something like that.
"Ah? No way?" Even Gu Feng found it surprising; it seemed too exquisite. However, he indeed had never been to the apartment where Ye Zixun lived outside.
"It really was his own decoration." Seeing the surprised look on Gu Feng's face, Lan Baobao couldn't help but laugh.
Lan Baobao walked over to the window and opened the lace curtains. "Gu Feng, when I first opened the curtains at Ye Zixun's house, what I saw was the evening view of Shallow Bay. The scenery was truly unparalleled."
At that moment, Gu Feng fell silent. In fact, there was still a place for Ye Zixun in Lan Baobao's heart, but since it was a contractual marriage, there shouldn't be any deep love involved.
Gu Feng was completely lying to himself. He stopped talking and fell into silence; this silence made Lan Baobao feel the deep sorrow within him.
"Lan Baobao, it's okay; you will be happy with him." Gu Feng always suppressed his own pain to comfort and bless Lan Baobao. When he said this, he surprisingly had no awareness of it.
Ye Zixun easily opened the door and happened to see Lan Baobao curled up in a corner of the sofa. Upon closer inspection, it was Gu Feng!
"Is it necessary to run from one place to another?" Ye Zixun's voice was filled with coldness. The sight of Gu Feng sitting there made Ye Zixun utterly furious.
"Ye Zixun." Gu Feng stood up and looked at Ye Zixun, greeting him as if asking how he was. If it were before, there would have been no such polite greeting.
"Ye Zixun..." Lan Baobao wanted to call Zi Xun more intimately but still added the last character of his name.
"Are you two going too far?" Ye Zixun stood by the door, clearly indicating he wanted them to leave. In truth, seeing Lan Baobao return healthy and well made him quite happy.
Gu Feng clearly understood that it was time to leave, but Lan Baobao grabbed Gu Feng's arm. "Going too far? Ye Zixun, what do you mean?" Lan Baobao did not get angry; she just looked calmly at Ye Zixun.
"You didn't come back last night; who knows what you were doing..." Ultimately, Ye Zixun was just jealous and envious. He had always known that Lan Baobao and Gu Feng were very close.
Unfortunately, Lan Baobao did not let Ye Zixun continue with such insulting words. "Ye Zixun, aren't you the one being unreasonable?" Moreover, Lan Baobao was now pregnant; even if they were intimate, it would be inconvenient.
"Really? I'm unreasonable?" Ye Zixun still leaned against the doorframe, coldly watching the two in front of him. Lan Baobao linked her arm with Gu Feng's right arm. Even though Gu Feng felt a bit awkward, he allowed Lan Baobao to do so; his heart already had other plans.
"You forced me to leave." Lan Baobao didn't even lift her head; this statement sounded as if she had suffered a great grievance. But it was also the truth.
Even Ye Zixun felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this. When did his relationship with Lan Baobao become like this? "But you can never walk out of this door."
"Yes, Ye Zixun, I can never walk out of your contractual marriage." Lan Baobao looked at Gu Feng. "Gu Feng, you should go back and take care of yourself. I'll visit you in a couple of days." This contract truly trapped so many people.
"What? Are you going to Gu Feng's house?" Before Gu Feng could leave, Ye Zixun expressed his dissatisfaction.
"What does that have to do with you?" Lan Baobao escorted Gu Feng to the door without even glancing at Ye Zixun.
From beginning to end, Gu Feng said nothing. Even though there were a thousand words in his heart, he didn't know where to start. This was essentially a matter of feelings between Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun. In Ye Zixun's eyes, he might just be an unwelcome third party. Thinking of this, Gu Feng felt a deep sadness. Without looking back, he left. Even though his heart was reluctant to part with Lan Baobao, Gu Feng understood that if he stayed now, it would only add fuel to the fire.
Lan Baobao watched Gu Feng walk out. That figure was unexpectedly sorrowful.
"What's wrong? Can't bear to let go?" Ye Zixun's tone was clearly sarcastic. At this moment, all of Ye Zixun's words were filled with worry and jealousy, making them quite hurtful.
"Ye Zixun, don't think that you are so righteous just because you're here!" Lan Baobao couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"But, Lan Baobao, don't forget that you are a married woman." Ye Zixun's tone remained gentle; men are always like this, unable to tolerate anyone getting close to their women, otherwise they can easily become angry—even towards their good friends.
"Unreasonable! Now that I'm back, what more do you want?" Lan Baobao ignored Ye Zixun. The only reason she could return was because of Gu Feng's persuasion. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have come back. Sometimes, how could love be so degrading?
Since stepping into this house, Lan Baobao had been thinking about leaving again. This time it was because of Gu Feng's advice, but next time, she might not come back at all.
These days, Lan Baobao felt exhausted.
"I need to rest," she said as she went upstairs without looking back, not wanting to deal with anything else.
Ye Zixun didn't know what else he could do now; he could only let her be, thankful that she had returned.
Gu Feng knew that now he could pursue Lan Baobao more boldly against Ye Zixun; after all, the contract would stipulate what would happen if it were violated.
