After ending the voice call with Cheng Zimin, refusing his divorce request, and settling her mother, she still felt empty and uneasy inside. 。She didn't know Cheng Zhimin well. From their first meetin...At first, it was about completing the task. But after several days of talking, listening to the rhythmic breathing of the person in my arms as they fell asleep, a feeling of tenderness washed over me, like feathers gently caressing or a stream flowing softly. The tension that I had carried all day melted away at this moment. 。And it also gave him and her a sense of connection, a feeling of him being a real father. 。He's always been emotionally distant when it comes to family ties. He doesn't believe that the bond between parents and children is innate, or perhaps because of his upbringing, he simply lacks the capacity to understand it. That's why his anxiety and worry about Yao Yao's pregnancy stem more from her physical well-being and safety than any deep emotional connection. 。Yao Yao, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, after she became pregnant, involved him in everything related to the baby, allowing him to experience it firsthand and feel a genuine sense of participation. This naturally strengthened their emotional connection. 。After telling the story, he closed the book and kissed her on the forehead. She was half asleep but immediately reached for him, responding to his kiss. 。Gu Ruan'dong tightened his grip, deepening the kiss. 。She suddenly opened her eyes and saw him so close, she felt a surge of emotion: "It's really true." 。"Don't be ridiculous, dreaming of me" 。She nodded. 。"What did I do to you in my dream" he asked, feigning ignorance. 。Thus

She turned passive into active, immediately making Gu Ruandong dizzy. Just at the last moment, she gently pushed him away: “Go to sleep early, we have an early appointment at the hospital tomorrow for a checkup.” 。"She has used various cruel methods on me, but I can only bear it because she is pregnant. " 。The next day, I accompanied her to a prenatal checkup. Midway through, Xiao Cai called to ask what time he would be at the company. The meeting had already started. He suddenly remembered that he had scheduled a meeting in the morning. “You preside over it, I’m at the hospital,” 。"It wasn't a particularly important meeting, what with everything going on with Yaoyao. " 。Xiao Cai kindly asked, "Are you sick"

The response to him was Gu Dashao's ruthless hang-up. 。

Xiaocai glanced at the phone, put it down and said to Hani, "Gu Shao went to the hospital." 。"He muttered to himself, 'When did Gu Shao become so delicate Or is he seriously ill Otherwise, someone who wouldn't easily go to the hospital before...' He was thinking about whether to let Han Li preside over the meeting and he should go to the hospital." 。Han Li: "Would you like to go to the prenatal checkup with Mrs. Gu"

Xiaocai then suddenly realized, that's why. 。After the meeting, they returned to the office. Gu Ruandong also happened to be back. Xiao Cai hurriedly stepped forward and gave a brief report on the meeting content. Gu Ruandong just nodded. "You make the decision about this. Call Han Secretary in." 。"Han Li had been with the Gu family for some time, and although they'd met, their interactions were minimal. Besides the initial encounter where Han Li inquired about Zhao Ting's other identity, there was hardly any further contact." 。Han Li entered the office, and Gu Ruandong said concisely: "You go to the southwest to cooperate with Song Jingye." 。"Han Li readily agreed, but she was curious: “Why do you trust me”

Her identity was actually quite sensitive. Not to mention Gu Ruandong, even his assistant Xiao Cai and everyone in the secretary's office were wary of her." 。Gu Ruandong: "I don't trust you" 。For Gu Ruandong, trust is a very luxurious thing, how could he possibly trust others casually. 。And in employing people, he certainly did not use trust as his standard. 。Shared interests are the true key to win-win outcomes, for partners and employees alike. 。As for dealing with Zhao Tingxing and Da An, Gu Ruandong was more of a behind-the-scenes strategist. He didn't go to the southwest himself mainly because Yaoyao was pregnant. There was no task more important than being by her side during this special time. 。。Han Li didn't say anything more. She was decisive in her actions and flew over that afternoon. 。She rarely came back to this remote county. From the airport to her hometown, it took hours by car, already evening when she arrived. After resting for a night, she woke up early the next morning and hailed a taxi directly to that small village nestled in the mountains. 。After all, this is where I came from. Even though I haven't been back for many years, I'm still familiar with these mountains and these winding paths. When I found the old woman's house, memories flooded back, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. 。The old woman was planting vegetables in the yard. Hearing a noise, she suddenly looked up, as if she no longer recognized her. She stared for a long time, and the surprised expression on her face subsided. 。"Who are you" the old woman asked warily. 。"I'm Alit, don't you recognize me" Han Li walked into the courtyard. 。"A-li, is it really you" The old woman was incredulous. She asked while glancing behind her, as if to see if Zhao Tingxing had come with her. 。"It's me" 。“Han Li’s transformation is indeed significant. People rely on their clothing, and horses rely on their saddles. Now she embodies the image of a successful career woman. Of course, she's not the yellow-haired girl from before.” 。Han Li had no intention of going in, just stood in the courtyard watching the old woman: "I came back to find Atang, but he doesn't want to see me" 。She didn't have many interactions with the old woman, only when she was with Zhao Tingxing before, they would come to the mountains for a few days during festivals. 。Zhao Tingxing is a truly bad person, but the only redeeming quality he has is that he's very filial. 。Although the old woman still lives in this remote and impoverished area, Zhao Tingxing actually bought her a villa in the city. To cater to her preferences, the villa has large gardens in front and back for her to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. 。The old woman simply refused to go, insisting on staying in the deep mountains and living a primitive life. 。

That being said, Zhao Tingxing didn't say anything. He spent money to pave a cement road for the village and hired doctors and nurses to stay in the village just so his grandmother could see a doctor conveniently. When he had free time, he would also come back to visit her. 。So, this time when Han Li came back, her target was the old lady. Because she didn't know what else to do, she wanted to infuriate Zhao Tingxing. 。The old woman heard her words and said, "Ating is busy..." 。Although the old woman lived in the deep mountains and had little contact with the outside world, she was sharp-eyed and quick-witted. She knew exactly what Han Li was up to. 。So he said, "Wait a minute, let me wash my hands and I'll go with you." 。"

So refreshing and straightforward that Han Li was taken aback. " 。The old woman not only washed her hands but also changed into a clean set of clothes. She didn't even bother to lock the door; in these deep mountains, there was no fear of thieves eyeing up their belongings. 。After leaving the mountains and getting into the car, Han Li asked, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll hurt you”

“I’m just an old woman, what benefit would there be in hurting me If you really came back to find Ating and live a good life with him, I’d definitely help you.” 。The old woman has lived a long life, she has endured the hardships and enjoyed the blessings that come with it. Now, her only wish in life is for A-Ting to find a good home. 。If she had to say if there was anyone she approved of, it would naturally be the girl who used to live in the mountains. She thought that Ah Ting should find someone like that - obedient and caring, with a bit of her own temper to keep things interesting. 。
